The underdark [1 on1 - FULL]

[Cherri Midnight]

A look of displeasure showed on the Noble’s face as he turned an angry gaze toward the slave. There were certain things he did not stand for. Women turning him down, people stepping out of line, and most importantly slaves not remembering their places. “May’riina,” he said in a breathy voice, “Do kind to teach your pet to curb his tongue…and not speak directly to me. That is unless you rather I teach him the lesson.” A devilish grin spread across his face, his eyebrows knitting together in look that said he was more eager to do such a thing.

May’riina put an arm up, placing it between her father and Shurvayas. Her eyes were as cold as possible, and yet somehow warmth still laid in the darkness. Her lips parted for a moment, no sound coming out. She was stuck, not sure which way to go exactly. But then her mind snapped too, and May’riina cleared her throat. “He is my responsibility now Father,” she said in a rather elegant and high up tone. “So I will re-teach him the lesson on etiquette.”

He stopped leering towards the boy, that devilish smirk still holding its place. Then stepping back inside his room the man winked at his daughter. “I know just what you mean,” he said in a throaty growl. “Now I need to punish my chamber maids so do kind to go play with your pet…and I better not hear that you give her any trouble boy.” With a swift hand he slammed the door, leaving the two in the hall.

May’riina’s eyes widened, hearing squeals and giggle from the other side. Her lips trembled in slight for a moment, a look of fear appearing on her face. “The first day I met him…I was half asleep and crying because this place frightened me so…” Her head turned slowly, and shifting her gaze onto him May’riina went on to say. “I can see it was not just the place…it was him…” She stepped forward, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and bringing Shurvayas into a warm and tender embrace. Her voice dropped to a purr as she spoke in his ear, “You must tell me of this place…I can not risk slipping up even once.”

The boy growled under his breath as he lowered his head again and tried to conceal his anger, he had just sword his life to his daughter and he was mouthing off about punishing him for doing what he asked. He wasn't sure if he would punish him, he braced himself just in case and prepared himself mentally for the hit as he quickly noticed May'riina's arm raise in between him and the man and listened to her words. She sounded much different than she did earlier, perhaps she really had what it took to survive in this cruel world. He kept listening to the two talk between themselves as he sunk deep in thought and tried to think of a way for him to rise from a simple slave to a house soldier. It would give him the freedom to be with her and display his affection for her as well, return the gestures that eased his heart and helped melt all the dark emotions that ate his heart from the inside out and gave him some sort of peace, hope. The door closed in front of him and quickly snapped him out of his train of thought, his eyes returned to May'riina as he tried to smile at yet the expression on her face made him shrug, he was worried. Her words reached his ears and nodded in an understanding manner, he knew what she was talking about as those were the same feelings he had when he was captures and brought to the house to become a slave. As her arms wrapped around him and embraced him the boy quickly jumped to action and phased them both into the shadow plane, a in plain sight in the material plane. They were now inside the shadows that covered the hall and allowed them to watch the material world without being found. No eyes could catch them now. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close, letting out a dark purr of his while he kept quite, nodding. "I shall tell you all i know dear..."

[Cherri Midnight]

Though they were safe inside another world, May’riina could not help but feel an eerie chill. She bowed her head in slight, nuzzling her cheek to his throat. Her body was raised up, several inches from the ground. And if one took the time to look carefully they would see this was because of an odd energy source that glowed beneath her. It was a bright purple in shade, the same color that was made when she create fairy fire. She had learned this was connected to her inner self, and when engulfed in darkness her powers increased. Much like her mother’s did when she bathed in light. There was much she did not know, so much to learn of this world, of this place. And part of her felt like prisoner for the fact that she was unable to walk around freely in The Underdark… “I did bad by embracing you…didn’t I,” she asked in a soft timid way. Her arms were still firmly around him, and pressing her slender figure to his May’riina turned so her face was buried against his shoulder.

[Xeethe Ingram]

"T-There's nothing wrong in doing so mistress, but we cant allow others to see us like this or we might get punished. Or at least i will, or most likely killed... This is the only place where we could be ourselves, where no one will see us..." He whispered as he embraced her, holding her close. Enjoying the feeling of having someone in his arms, feeling accepted. Someone who didn't looked at him with hateful eyes or saw him as some sort of threat. Nor even a slave. She looked at him like one of her own. "In the underdark displays of affection are often looked down upon and seen as a sight of weakness, thats why we must keep hidden whenever we do...."

[Cherri Midnight]

Nodding at first May’riina brought a hand up, swiping it just under her eyes. A tear began to form, but it was not because of sorrow. It was only because she could not show off how much she cared for this boy. “I understand,” she said in a breathy tone. Then tipping her head back May’riina nuzzled his throat. Her arms slipped down around his waist, and she brought her body in even closer so there was not even an inch between them. The girl might have looked like a true child, but in human years she was considered to be a teenager. And that meant she had the mind of one who was staring to mature and go through changes in feelings.

“So only in my room and when we slip away to the shadows,” she stated with a slight nod. Then with a quiver to those full purple lips she asked, “Why do others listen to my father…what is so great about a man who raped a young girl?” She did not understand that lust and lovemaking played out in this kingdom as the only real time of showing affection, and that she would not be able to show her pet that special feeling till her body matured to a point where it could take such a thing.

"He's a powerful caster who has helped decimate many rival houses in the past, he is respected and even the matron had considered him to be her lpersonal escort before to reward his loyalty. Some even said once he has potential of becoming an elite. This is why others listen to him. They envy him and wish to be on his spot, so they listen and keep him close. Always looking for a chance to strike him down..." The boy explained as he enjoyed the closeness, the fact she pulled him closer to her made him feel like he was in fact needed. The last time he had some sort of contact with anyone else was before his mother was killed when he was Seven. The fact he was going to be saying in her room as of now just made his world much safer, he was finally gonna be able to get some sleep after days of having none. And with her in the room, the nightmares would finally go away. "We should return to your room mistress, we're safer in there..."

[Cherri Midnight]

Stepping back from him May’riina’s hand traveled down till it was wrapped around his. Her touch was gentle, yet fairly strong from when she was younger and would spend hours climbing trees to spy on other. Just something about that girl, she couldn’t keep her nose out of other people’s business and always had to be in the loop. A smile graced her lips, and before he could transfer them back she leaned in and gave his cheek a gentle kiss. The place where her lips had touched left a light purple glow, energy that was transferred over by touch. As May’riina pulled back she watched the glow dim till it went out, her head lolling off to the side. “Do try to remind me to cast a few protection spells and enchant the knob on my door,” she said with lightness. “I just don’t trust this place…and doubt I ever will.”

[Xeethe Ingram]

"I knew a few spells that would keep others at bay, but i would need to do it inside your room. I don't want anyone to see me or im as good as dead." The boy had blushed once more as the color of his face darkened a bit more, he in fact knew that just a few protections spells but already knew how to lay out deadly traps and barriers that would keep any average caster in the underdark at bay. During his free time when he didnt slept the boy practiced his magic religiously. To be stronger was his only desire and to break from slavery was his dream. He wanted to appeal to the higher ups of the house with his magical prowess, he just needed a chance. Somehow. Holding her hand the boy walked down the common's hall and phased trough it, entering her room without the need of opening her door. They were shadows now, the boy looked around and treid to see if there was anything, anyone waiting for them inside. Once safe the boy sighed and turned towards May'riina's and caressed her face with his hand. "I've lived my entire life in the underdark, no one, nothing is ever to be trusted. That is one of our main rules. But the main one of them all is to never ever get caught..."

[Cherri Midnight]

Her body trembled as his hand past over her flesh. An odd sensation growing deep inside her stomach, burning with the intensity of the sun she once lived beneath. But that warmth was gone…and she would not feel its rays for years to come. Her head tipped back slightly, the glow of energy that was levitating her dimming out slowly before disappearing completely. As she was lowered to the ground a shiver went up May’riina’s chest. Looking up at him, only one thing went through her mind. I am going to make him my one lover…just like mum did when she met that cute little kitty boy… A smile warmed her distant gaze, a giggle sounding out when she remembered chasing his tail about for hours on end.

“I…I…” Her words would not come, and with thoughts based on being with Shurvayas as a woman would be with her husband. Letting out a sharp breath May’riina bowed her head slightly. She felt a bit uneasy, even shy as the girl stepped away from him. Settling down on the edge of the bed she tried to smooth out her robe out. “I trust you though,” she said in a soft drawl, her eyes drifting closed. Pulling her legs up onto the bed May’riina turned her body a bit. Her head tipped off to the right as she gazed down at her blankets. “Will I ever get use to living down here?”

[Xeethe Ingram]

"As i trust you, since i've ever set foot in this dreadful place i've never been able to place my trust in anyone, but the moment you walked into my life and just... Lit a fire in my heart that had been dead for so long... You've awoken the side of me that vanished soon after i became a slave since i was a child... I myself am not used to this place, i always thought of it cruel and worthless. But now that i have a reason to actually live and wish for more... And you did it all by just... I don't know what you call this feeling. I've never felt it, and im not sure what it is. But i don't want it to stop." The boy had a fire in his eyes that was missing the moment they've met, the then submissive boy was now filled with a flame that all demons had deep in them, the strive for power. The desire of reaching their limits and pushing them beyond their own expectations. His right eye glowed as a smirk drew on his lips as he laid eyes on the girl. He slowly walked towards her and reached for her hand. Looking in her eyes he brought her hand to his chest and placed it right where his heart was. "Tell me, what is your name..."

[Cherri Midnight]

With her hand laid flat to his chest, May’riina felt she was melting into every last word he spoke. Her face was still flushed before, but the blush grew deeper by each passing thump of his heartbeat. My name, she thought with a slight panic. What is my name…what is this feeling that is filling me…these urges. I have never had them towards any of the boys in the upper world…

Her eyes darkened, and taking hold of his shirt May’riina pulled the boy down to her bed. She moved swiftly, climbing atop him and lowering her face till it was but an inch from his. Her eyes drifted closed slightly and the small girl gave off a growl of sorts. This felt natural to her, as if instinct was taking over on her Drow side. “May’riina,” she said in a breathless way. Her lips brushing against his when she dipped her head down for a moment.

But quickly snapping to her senses May’riina sat up. Bringing a hand to her forehead and pushing the white hair back. The girl let out a breathy sigh, taking her gaze away from him as she mumbled, “I am sorry…I have never done something like that before.” May’riina slowly climbed off him and sat back down where she was. Her legs crossed in a delicate manner, her hands folding together in her lap. “So what is your name my dear,” she asked in a silky smooth tone.

[Xeethe Ingram]

"S-Shurvayas, dear..." He whispered softly as his heart was racing, pumping strong and loud almost to the point it would leap out of his chest. The fire within him grew stronger as she felt her lips touch his and the closeness they just shared as she climbed on top of him. The thought of being intimate with her hadn't crossed his mind till then, the way her body felt against his, the way their bodies exchanged the heat and the way he could feel her heartbeat right against his chest. He was Smitten by her. He slowly sat up on the edge of the bed and curled his fingers in between hers as he smirked. It seemed as if he didn't truly ever smiled, he didn't new how or perhaps wasnt in him. But once he had that smirk on his face, knowing him enough one would realize he was in a good mood despite the dark look that always lingered in his eyes. "Is alright dear... I've never felt or done anything like that before myself..."

[Cherri Midnight]

She spoke his name as if the very sound of it left her mouth tasting sweet like honey. “Shurvayas, sweet…sweet Shurvayas…” Moving her hand over his, May’riina leaned back in. Her purple lips touched his, and moving them slowly she gave the boy a tender and meaningful kiss. The young half-blood was no longer acting on common sense. After all she had just spent a week in a strange new, and oddly dark place. Her father was a frightening man who owned slaves. And she was not going to see her mother until the man she was forced to call daddy died. The build up emotions needed a let off, and this boy’s kindness and sweet touch had led her to thinking that maybe it was time that she. “We…we must not go to far but…perhaps for just a while we can lie together,” she said in a shy way. Her hand traveling up his arm and over Shurvayas’ shoulder. Falling back on the bed she pulled him atop her. Her lips moved over his. But suddenly a loud knock sounded at the door, a loud booming voice sounding out, “Mistress are you in there? Your father wanted to know how your pet’s lesson is going?” May’riina’s eyes flew open and she sat up in a jolt, pushing Shurvayas off of her. Her heart pounded deep within her chest. “Just fine, now leave me be or I shall deal with you next…” Her gaze shifted over towards Shurvayas in a guilty fashion. “Aren’t you supposed to be teaching me of life down here so I do not get found out,” she asked when the voice did not reply.

[Xeethe Ingram]

As her lips pressed against his he wrapped his arms around her slowly and held her close, allowing the feelings that brewed in him to pour out and return the gesture even thought he wasn't sure of what he was doing. The emotions just took over him as he returned the kiss passionately and deeply. As their lips parted he already felt as if there was something missing, her lips on his were just something that was rather intoxicating for the boy and the feelings were just strong. Her words poured into his ears, his eyes closed as he had that silly smirk on his lips still. Nodding as if he was in some sort of ecstasy as she said they could just lay there for a minute. "I will do anything you ask of me dear..." He whispered softly. Her arms wrapped around him and her lips returned to his, he was once more lost into the moment as he couldn't think of nothing else but her at that moment yet sadly it was cut shortly. The knocking on the door quickly made him phase into the shadows and quickly reappeared on the corner of the room, on his knees as he tried to look dejected, like he was being punished. Her response made him chuckle under his breath as he was amazed that whoever was outside seemed to actually believe it. Purring darkly he nodded and winked at her in a rather playful manner. "I was going to, but i found it quite hard to pull away from your arms..." He teased as he stayed in the corner just in case....

[Cherri Midnight]

May’riina stood, smoothing her robes. She had an elegant sort of posture, though her head remained bowed in slight so that she was watching the ground. Her lips parted and exhaling softly her small chest heaved. There were many things she wished to do, and in his arms the girl found peace and light in a place of violence and darkness. She crossed the room, her head rising as with each step. And when that darkened stare set on Shurvayas her heart gave a slight thump. “Well then I should ask for your forgiveness for jumping upon you…” She stopped just short of touching him. Sinking down to the ground May’riina leaned in to brush her lips against his before stealing a tender and deep kiss.

As the kiss broke, May’riina clambered back. There was a shy look on her youthful face. There was something that hung about her, that not even the darkness could touch. That was innocence. “Perhaps you should show me about…” The girl let out a light airy breath, feeling a bit flustered as she fetched the quiver and her bow from under bed. She slung the quiver over her shoulder, positioning the strap so that it was cross her chest. She then rummaged till a handful of arrows she pulled out and stored just in case she needed them for later use. Standing back up May’riina glanced over to him, that sweet smile returning. “Shall we,” she asked in a light purr.
