Solis Occasum
An elderly man dressed in all white waited for them at the entrance of the temple, flanked by men in similar dress, however much simpler.
“Is that the Oracle?” whispered Ursa. Ivan nodded, his knuckles tightening around the reins of his horse. The rest of the journey there, which wasn’t too long, Ursa remained at Ivan’s side, tightly hugging his waist in case she slipped off. The group dismounted from their horses, and some young boys and girls ran out and took the reins from the magic users.
“Your Majesty,” the Oracle greeted with a smile, but he did not bow. Ivan stood tall, not wavering either.
“Your Holiness. It’s been awhile.”
“Yes it has. Please, come in! Tell me, how was the forest?&rdqu

Ivan laid on his side, watching his wife’s figure as she slept. After provoking him, she became demure, hiding her face in the sheets.Oh well. He did promise he would not do anything to her until she was ready. He won’t break his word. But as he watched her sleep, he noticed her quiet shudders under the thick covers. He noticed her erratic movements, her bothered expressions, the sweat beginning to form on her brow.Ursa laid on her back on the bed next to her husband, but her brain brought her somewhere else. Images, scenes, people she had never seen before-- all flashing before her like a montage-- a cacophony of voices and sounds drilling into her ears.She was standing in the palace in Ichares, wearing crimson robes with lavish furs lining her ostentatious dress. The hallway was ab

The next morning Ursa woke up refreshed. It was unlike any other sleep she’d had before. Although the spot next to hers was a bit cold, Ursa still revelled in her husband’s smell, which lingered on the pillow.She slowly slipped out of bed, her feet reeling back from the cool sensation of the tiled floor. On the table in the corner there was a blouse, black skirt, and a thin lavender greca with a note on top. It had messy penmanship-- barely legible-- but Ursa managed to make out what it said.‘Beloved Ursa,I left early to spar with Kassio. A priestess-in-training had some clothes you can borrow until we can retrieve our belongings. Breakfast should be in the Mess Hall-- I’ll ask someone to guide you there! Don’t miss me too much!
Where Loyalties Lie The Shrine
The shrine wasn’t far, according to Chlaesis, it was just a bit hidden due to its age. Ursa was unsure of this, seeing as she only just met these girls, but she had no reason to distrust them. The sky was beginning to darken though it was still early morning, not even past ten yet. The air was beginning to feel a bit moist, but otherwise it was a fine day. There was a dirt pathway covered by trees and other flora that Ursa recognized from Chlaesis’ description. It was very scenic, with all types of little birds and small forest creatures darting around under the underbrush and bramble.The path had a certain energy Ursa had never felt before in all her life. A warm feeling rushed from her heels to her head, leading her along, an invisible shepard gripping her control hard.Ursa was brought to a clearing that lost most of its beauty from
Where Loyalties Lie Her Bright and Blinding Presence
Sweat dripped from Ivan’s forehead, falling to the earth in little droplets. He wiped the remaining droplets off with the sleeve of his shirt.“Your strokes have gotten stronger,” Orlov commented, setting down his sword on the bench. The two were out in a small area behind the temple dedicated to training, be it magic duels or sword duels. Ivan and Orlov frequently made use of this area in order to practice and hone their skills. Ivan had left early to meet Orlov for a spar for old times sake.“The last time we sparred seriously I was a child. Of course I’ve gotten stronger.”Orlov chuckled, taking a swig of water. “Of course. I shouldn’t underestimate you.”“I’m just impressed you can still ke
Where Loyalties Lie Hand in Hand
“Where are we?” Ivan asked. He never really stopped to think about where he was going, all he knew was that he had to find his wife.“We’re under an old shrine. I didn’t know there would be a cave system… what a find…” Ursa mused. She held onto his hand tightly while Ivan’s other hand produced a small, flickering flame from his fingertip. The couple made their way down the tunnel, hoping to see just a slant of natural light.“How’d you get here? Why didn’t you go with everyone else to the morning prayer?”“A few priestesses recommend I check out the shrine instead. They told me it was a tourist attraction, but now I see that they were just being great businessmen.”&ld
Where Loyalties Lie Ursa's Terrible Day
Ivan pulled Ursa along like she was a ragdoll, her arm about to come clean off from the force of his tugging. But Ursa remained silent, knowing that their lives were on the line. She could hear them-- all the creatures gathering up, running alongside them, ready to pounce on them at any given moment. Sure enough, the first creature’s call was meant to attract the other beasts.“Keep going! Do not look back!” Ivan warned. Ursa resisted the urge to disobey, and continued forth, though the loud, pounding stomps of the creatures behind her tempted her. Suddenly, Ivan launched Ursa forward, throwing her in front of him. With inhuman reflexes, he unsheathed his sword and blocked a hit from a monster that had leaped from a distance and would have landed on Ursa.Ivan barely kept the strength to block the creature, for his heart was poundi
Where Loyalties Lie A Man, a Woman, and a Cave
CW: kind of sexual content but like notreallyUrsa sighed into her skin as she watched the small flame slowly begin to dim. She had managed to rub the sticks together enough so a small fire could burn, but she knew it wouldn’t last.From her peripheral view, Ursa noticed Ivan’s fingers beginning to twitch. His eyes fluttered open, but he didn’t move his body. “Your Majesty! You’re awake!” she exclaimed.“Yess,” he slurred, “but I can’t move.”“What do you mean? Can you feel your body?”“I can only get my fiingerss to move.” Ursa resisted the urge to throw herself in the fire. “Undress me.”
Where Loyalties Lie The Great Escape
The first thing Ursa was reminded of as soon as they reached the first tunnel spotted on the cliffside was her apparent nakedness. Yes, she was holding her dress and her undergarments all clumped in her arms-- her shoes were long forgotten in the shallow cave they had fled from. Ivan was no better off, perhaps even doing worse. His giant wound in the middle of his chest had begun bleeding again, and he too was running with his clothes in his arms.“Your Majesty, before we continue, I think we should put on some clothes… at least, you should put on some pants.” Ivan stopped in his tracks and looked down, finally realizing he was still bare.“Good idea.” Ursa immediately turned away and threw the dress back on in record time. All of it was still quite damp; however, complaining would get no one anywhere. The two of them
