Tara was right. The Romans did burn. I wasn’t happy with hurting them, but a dark part of was grimly proud that I struck first. I struck hard.
I waited long enough to see if they would retaliate. But they moved seemingly out of my range of attack. It wasn’t, but I didn’t want to correct them.
I thought about continuing the attack. I had plenty of mana to spare. But I’d had no effect on their serious players. I’d shown I could strike them at any ti and draw blood. In the best scenario they would be intimated and turn tail, but I would take even a morale boost for our forces.
Having the Kings of Gelt and Druids think well of was a plus. Putting hope back into the hearts of the people who had fled Ferisdarm with was greater still.
"Will we head back?" I asked Tara.
"Sure. You’ve shown them your might. Let them cower in the open tonight." Tara mocked the Romans.
"Indeed."
We walked back to the Circle of Druids. On the way there we ca across Umbra who seed to be treating a holess woman near the walls. She had a face of intense concentration as she examined the woman.
"Hello, Umbra." I said with a wave.
Umbra’s concentration transford into a warm, sunny smile when she heard my voice. She imdiately turned to face . That a cold, murderous woman like her could have such lovely, genuine feelings for was a contradiction that still confused .
Umbra was a lithe, slender woman with a fair face with dark hair. Her natural remaining eye was a pretty brown. When I’d enhanced her body, I’d touched up her health and it had turned her from pretty to captivating. Her magical eye even hidden by an eyepatch magically boosted her allure.
She wore an eyepatch over her magical eye. A third, evil eye, I’d shifted it to replace the one she’d sacrificed for and contained the evil. The eye was a work of magic within my power, but a product of many years of accumulated knowledge that according to secret discussion with Umbra was first unleashed in the pre-history of humanity.
"You helping the locals?" I asked.
"Refugees seeking safety, Master. There are many herbs among the druids though they do not seem to spend much ti out of their Circle. I thought I’d put them to good use."
"I think that is an amazing idea."
She glowed, "I knew you would approve."
"I’m sorry for interrupting you."
She raised her hands to stop , "No, no. Give a mont and then maybe you could spare so of your ti. I’d love to walk the Circle with you?"
"Gladly." I replied. "You okay Tara to head back first?" I didn’t tone my words as a question.
Tara rolled her eyes, "I don’t think it wise. But fine. I’ll see you later." She answered, and walked off.
I waited while Umbra administered so dicine for the holess woman.
The dicines included a nutrient supplent, but mainly sothing that would help the woman heal a chest infection. I could do the sa, but I didn’t want to tread over Umbra’s efforts. I only had so much ti and places I could be, the fact that Umbra can heal as well was a boon. It was nice to have a dependable companion when she wasn’t mad with jealousy or committing human sacrifice to gain power.
"All done. Let’s go." She said to all smiles and looped her arm with mine.
In a way it seed crude and poor timing to flaunt such intimacy in front of the holess woman. But Umbra had just helped her and we weren’t doing anything wrong. I put it out of mind and escorted Umbra to the Circle of the Druids.
We walked around and Umbra told what she knew of the plants and animals. While she might not have Iris’ knowledge, Umbra had far more stories to tell of how she used certain plants of failures involving them. She was quite funny to be expected given how sociable she can be around people. She was a hard worker and had earned her livelihood with only passive support and the kindness of strangers. She had seen much of the land, talked with its various peoples, had adventures and was wise for it.
She was a pleasure to spend ti with and this was perhaps the first proper ’date’ I’d had with her. If only there had been more ti back at Ferisdarm. Perhaps we could have communicated better and found a different solution to the evil eye, nevermind just enjoying each other’s company.
We eventually sat down on top of a hill, cuddling into each other’s arms alone and watched the sun set. Slightly itchy and cold, it was nonetheless pleasant way to spend the evening. We watched the stars co up and I even gave a poor rendition of twinkle, twinkle little star which she loved and sung much better than . She had a lovely voice. I only noticed as she sang.
I asked her to sing sothing she knew and she did. Yes, she was a lovely singer, if she had the training back on earth she would have been pretty popular. Mayhap, I was judging through rose-tinted glasses.
Then our idyllic date took an interesting turn.
"I want your child."
She had said it into a warm silence.
It must have been pressing her mind.
"It is not fair that it is just them that get to carrying your child."
"Fair?"
"I lost an eye bringing you here, I’ve devoted myself, I accepted evil into my heart so I could be closer to you more your equal. How am I not deserving?"
She wasn’t wrong.
Mad.
Her slender pale hands, nor her magical aura could dominate into giving into her needy demands. No, it was the idea of another beautiful, fertile body swelling with my child and keeping her to continue loving , mad and dangerous as she was, exhilarated .
"You want my child?"
"Yes, Master."
"Sure."
"Then stick it in ."
"Whoa. Slow down.
"Master, please, please."
"First, pleasure yourself. I want to watch you, Umbra. Then I will give you what you want. I will satisfy myself with your pretty body."
So, she masturbated for my pleasure. She ca panting herself up into excitent. My attention along with her own touch brought her to climax.
I took her next. I claid her on that hill as mine forever more.
Her eyes bright and keen fixed onto mine with exquisite, devoted attention. Her pulse beat faster and the coursing adrenaline excited every inch of her body. Until the thrill overwheld her and she abandoned herself. It was with a vacant, delirious stare that she cried out a single word through tears of monstrous joy and an open mouth with every thrust I penetrated into her she called out over and over again, "Mine, mine, mine!"
She scread and ca one more ti squirting a near shower of her love juices.
She sighed and moaned happily into my body. Her warmth and breath were soothing. She must have felt the sa because Umbra drifted into sleep soon to be pregnant with my seed.
I was left with lingering doubts, a trace of sha and regret. Yet all that negativity was small compared to a still hungry desire for more won, and more sex. While Umbra felt satisfied, I still had a raging boner
