Legends of Belariath

Marissa

The petite feline stretched out upon the satin coverlet through upon the cold stone floor before the blazing fire that seemd to feed from the ever growing bond with the chaotic element. Resting upon her bare stomach as her were folded below before her to rest her chin upon. Not a scrap of clothing was upon her person as the light given off from the flames danced over her smooth flawless flesh save the artwork that was tastefully displayed upon her upper left arm as well as upon her her inner right thigh that was barely visable as her foot swayed within the air and of course the mithril chains that latched upon the trio of piercings that a fraguile female would never dare to allow such penetration. Then again Marissa was never known to be fraguile, even when she truelly was. Dark lashes swept downwards to conceal her crimson eyes that seemed to be filled with a hint of confusion and anger as of late as she thought over the recent events that had befallen her. Even as her thought roamed over the events the flames within the hearth fed from her emotions roaring within their confines barely restrained there as she flicked towards the edges carelessly.

Ryuki, one of the few lovers she had truelly sumbitted to in ways she wouldn't even phantom to do to the men she frolliced about town playing whatever role she desired to portray that moment, had requested her to betrothe herself to him and plead to be his mate, to his much surprise and her own she had accepted his proposal. Even now she questioned her motives behind accepting his proposition though she could only she the purest of intentions upon her part, even if Scathien was most likely resided within their tower lurking within the shadows never about when she was roaming the halls pondering her next action to partake to further her standings, even if she was well known as is. But no she had slipped abck into a past role she had enjoyed for a brief period of time as Ryuki finally convinced her he would not vanish from her side once more, only to greet him within the Anvil's Horn the very next evening with celebrating in mind only to be confronted with cold hard facts. Mere hours after her acceptance he decided he wished to leave this land she had fought to gain a high standing position and was not asking ehr to join him, though she knew then and even now she would have refused out right had he pressed her to join him. In responce to his statement she simply walked away ingoring his tedious tauntings about her doing jsut that, calling erh a cold hearted bitch for not even trying to fight for him. Glancing up towards the fire through those thick lashes as her crimson lips arched a bit at the corners as she remembered her reply and had stood by it since then. No he had no right to state anything of the such about her when she hadn't wronged him though promised him otherwise if he stayed about there after his actions.

Shifting upon the satin coverlet sitting upright as the mithril chains hung heavily upon the loops threads through each pebbled nipple connecting to the blood ruby that joined the three chains. Purring softly as the sweet senation of pleasure torn through her sensative breasts from the shift in the chains. Oh how few men had used the chains to at to her pleasure as well as pain during their couplings, well at least the few that knew enough about a woman's body to seek to pleasure them as well as theirself. Reaching out one hand towards the flames as they leaped to attention stretching out to their mistress easily lapping at the tips of her fingers calming the growing storm of fustration within the feline for the moment before she drew back gainging her feet. She had surmised her problem with her recent lovers had been as simple as they had one thing in common, they all were humans. Bloody humans she had loathed since the night she had left her family within the twight light hours so she wouldn't have to be under their control, and yet it still seemed that the race weilded some unseeable restraint upon her life. Standing near the coverlet as she glanced away from the fire towards the readied backpack resting atop her desk as well as a few parchments that she would deposit on her way from Unigo knowing the slaves there would see to their delivery. Collecting the coeverlet as she tossed it upon her bed glancing to the pile of clothing awaiting for her to don as she had decided a trip home would do her well and to finish wht she had left unnattented to for far to long.

Moving to dress as she couldn't help but realize the clothing she had decided to wear was far more simular to the clothing she had worn the first evening entering the Inn, just better quality. Settling upon the dge of the bed she glided on the delicate pair of spider silk panties as she couldn't help the amused smile that tugged upon her lips. She never wore so much clothing about these parts anymore as her thoughts wandered towards the amount of mehrials she would have wasted restocking her closests on a weekly bases. Moving to tug on the snug leather breaches as the new material was a bit stiff and outlined her calves adn thighs with a bit of detail she knew by the time she returned they would either had vanished or been well worn in as her first pair had been. A flicker of a fond memory with ehr first love Craven came to mind when the man decided to dunk her complete dressed within the bathes. Of course she demanded he replaced the ruined clothing, even if it was just a ploy to spend even more time with the man she had grown to love. Letting out a soft chuckle as she moved to tug the flat soled boots on that snaked up her calves ending at her knees forgoing her usual heels to save herself the trouble as she knew back then she had been a completley different person and was actually caring and shown her devotion to him far to openly. He was yet another on to join the ranks with Ryuki blaming themselves for the way her life had changed her, even if she was content on how she lived. Reaching for the leather corset wrapping it about her torso as she threaded the lace through the five sets of holes still wondering how her lovers had vried som much save their race. Scathien whom was a cruel and evil as she though was far more open in his actions and she more adversed to work with smoke and mirrors so to speak, Craven whom actually was a healer if one could truelly believe that though was more like her manipulative part of her life than her random bursts of aggrssion, and their was Ryuki. The typical fallen hero within his own eyes though she believed she ahd aided in his change in fate from a Palidin to the darker side. Tieing the blakc lace between the generous display of creamy cleavage as she collect the pair of elbow high gloves slipping them on concealing the rings she always worn beofre donning her armor and robes.

Once dressed she moved to collect her long raven hair to pile ontop of her as she moved towards her desk collecting the single fiery feather she had plucked from Scathien's wings threading it through her long tressils holding them in place upon her head as she drew her hood to rest there casting a shadow upon her well known facial features though those full blood red lips remained exposed to the sight of others. The father curved downwards from it's position within her hair the end lightly resting against her pale cheek while she collected her back pack slipping it on. it only held the barest of rations since she only had a day's travel ahead of her along with a few scarves, a large tome she worked deligently within the past few months collecting new knowledge to further her magic, and her whip she had brought with her when she had come there. Her dagger still rested upon her desk but only for a second as she collected that next quickly latching it within the secret compartment within the left sleave of her robes. The concealing of the dagger had saved her skin numerous times, a trick she had learned from Vero, her eldest sister, that she had disguarded the notion until she had left from home.

The first thought of her sister caused a stirring within her chest of shame as she wished she ahd brought her sister with her when she have secerted off within the night. Pushing the anguish of regrets aside she couldn't shange her past actions only try to right them in the near future. Collecting the parchments she had oenned out the previous night she left her room relieved to see Ryuki wasn't standing watch at her door and wouldn't delay her departure. With ease she made ehr way down the near by stairwell entering the main foryer as she snagged a lounging slave. After a quick tounge lashing for not seeing to his duties the pyromancer handed him the parchments, knowing this particular slave was well versed in reading she sent him on his way to deliver the parchments to the recipients (Scathien, The Guild Master, Ryuki, and Sorcerous Sanctuary) explaining her sudden vanishing from her tasks as well to ease the nerves of those whom cared for her well being. Watching the slave as her lips lifted into a determined little smile only briefly before she departed herself heading south throught he forest as she headed for home and hopefully answers and vengence.

The day worn on as the feline traveled in silence thinking over just what she would do once she reached her home village along with the dreadful questions of what have happened to her family. Those thoughts alone seemed to hurry her movements along with the guilt of having abandoned them in her youth without even a single letter. The questions that plagued her were none to kind but she would face once she arrived and would be soon. The journy was uneventful thankfully as she finally reached the outskirts of her destination.

The familiar scents waifed about her as people bartered their goods calling out the those wandering the busy street tugging an involuntary smile from her. Drawing near a pastry crt her stomach growl in protest from the lack of nurishment she drew out a few mithrils pressing them into the fellow feline's hand as he collected an awry of treats folding them within a large cloth tieing the ends together. With a tip of his hat he moved along to the next seemly interested customer, a human. Frowning as she shook her head moving from the bustily streets towards the darkened allies deciding she would take a shorter route to her childhood home. At a tender age Vero had warned her from travelling through the ally ways to avoid any chance of being taken advantage of, tis a pity she couldn't have saved her from the one evil she had welcomed within her life. Turning left as she dived deeper into the darkness more accustomed to the heightened of her senses for when the presense of footsteps became apparent behind her she slowed her movements allowing whomever it was to think she was dim witted to allow this stranger overtake her. Anticipation of the impending attack caused he stomach to flutter while she crossed her arms over her abdomen the tied cloth dangling from her left hnd as her right slipped within the sleave taking a firm hold of the hilt of the dagger. The pyromancer was upon edge andknew she could easily dispatch the fool with he magic but she desired to hide the fact she had grown so powerful.

When the steps were a mere foot behind her she took that time to drop the pastries as she moved to spin about to bring the finely sharpened dagger towards her assialants throat. Wells he would have if she wasn't out manuvered as on arm quickly drew about her side forcefully holding the dagger weilding arm to her side as she could feel the cold steel press to her smooth throat. Frozen as she was stunned by their quick actions before she heard the raspy words whispered within her ear, “'rop thy pastries an' thy 'agger..” as her ears perked a prickle of recongintion tingled within the back of her mind as she moved to do as requested allowing the pastries to fall upon the ground before the dagger followed suite standing stil as soon laughter eched within the alley as the pressure from the blade was released her attacker took a step back before saying, “Marissa you still haven't learned to listen, though I am pleased to see you took my advise on something.” Recognition was nothing compared to hearing her name spill fror her lips.

“Vero!” as the small feline launched herself within her elder sister's awaiting arms. Clinging to her sister eyes held tightly closed as she spoke, “You live... Oh sister I have missed you more so than I have realized..” as she nuzzled ehr face into the crook of her neck only to feel the rough leather press against her cheek. Her small body stiffened within her hold as she leaned back slowly opening her eye to gaze upon her sister for the first time and was shocked to seen she did infact where a collar with the name clearing desplayed there be none other than the same human that stole her innocence. Shaking her head quickly as she small pyromancer took a step back looking to Vero as she spoke her voice quivered a bit feeling as if she was that weak kitten that had run after those awful events that stole her innocence, “W.. ha.. Why Vero.. ?” as her gaze was centered upon the collar. Her sister stepped forwards offering a warm smile as she reached out to take her hand.
