I Promise...
He gently touched her cheek with his hand.
"I promise, I will be back for you."
She knew he spoke the truth to her, and even though they stood in the middle of the musty, dirty, tower Flossina felt safe in his arms.
He leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips.
She accepted the show of affection and reveled in the warm sensation worKing its way through her body because of it.
"I must leave. They believe me to be one of them. I can't be gone too long."
He lingered for a few seconds more and she watched as he moved across and then out of the room. Now that he was gone she noticed the holy man sitting Indian style on a large pillow. He seemed unencumbered by what had

"Years ago, I performed a ritual with you and your mother. Binding you to something very valuable. Your mother was a wonderful woman. Full of life and love for her people. She wants you to take her place. Save the Kingdom from this General and the addle-minded King. You have it inside of you. You are quite powerful."She knelt down beside him and surveyed the bleeding gash on his forehead. She ripped the front of her loin skirt and gently wrapped it around his head to help stop the bleeding."Inside of me?""Yes, the jewel of humanity.""That isn't possible. My mother would have told me about that.""Would she? You were an infant. The Kingdom was on a shaky road to recovery, after a land ravished by war. She had l
The Jewel Of Humanity Memories
She knew Marlon would come for her and her heart felt a little at peace at the thought of the kind stranger who was helping her now. Khepri's plan worked. She smiled at the workings of the demi-goddess... **********Although Princess Flossina was anxious for Marlon's return, she still listened intently as the spiritual elder told her stories of both her parents in the days of their youth. She was astounded at how well she was able to see her real father through the descriptive stories he was telling her. The sound of his baritone voice seemed to dull the pain and the feeling of all-encompassing sadness that seemed to veil her life at present.He was in the middle of telling her how her father, the late King, had w
The Jewel Of Humanity Captive
She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the tops of her knees. The full moon illuminated the tower, and she said a silent prayer of protection for Marlon. She heard a loud thud and the tower door opened once again. She quickly stood up, dusting herself off as she walked over to the door. She hadn't expected Marlon to use this entrance again. She didn't care. She was happy she would be leaving this dreadful place. The door opened further and her heart was once again deflated. It was not Marlon. It was General Torunn. She quickly backed away. His eyes looked like cold glass as he stared at her. Two more guards materialised behind him in the poorly lit entranceway. He walked into the room and immediately started barKing orders."Shut the door and leave me! The Princess and I have much to discuss."
The Jewel Of Humanity Nightmare ...
"Does my touch not please you, Princess? Are my hands too calloused for your liking? I apologize. I'm not of noble blood. I'm just a poor potato farmers son. We couldn't all be born Royal now could we."Her silence infuriated him.He slapped her hard and then slammed his mouth against hers so hard she felt his teeth sink into her flesh. She started to taste her own blood. She pushed him hard enough to break the kiss and slap him hard across his face. He backhanded her again and she fell hard onto the marble floor. Before she could react, he was on top of her."You bitch!"He grabbed her by the shoulders and began to shake her.Her head was spinning when he finally stopped his tirade, and once more his hands were roving all ov
The Jewel Of Humanity Ascent From Ruin
In all the confusion Flossina seized the opportunity and kneed him in his bare groin with all of her might. He let out a blood-curdling howl of pain and doubled over, all the while holding his crotch. All the fear, all the anger, and all of the hatred she felt for this man bubbled up within her and she gave him one final kick in his face. It knocked him out cold. She looked around and ran over to where she had left the holy man to rest."Our ride has arrived! We are safe," she informed him while she gently shook him.He was hunched over with the hood of his cloak covering his head. She knelt and touched his shoulder. His head lifelessly rolled around on his shoulders and she knew he was dead. She gently laid his body down on the ground."I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She whispered and placed a kiss on his forehead as a
The Jewel Of Humanity Hurry !
Marlon was amazing, she couldn’t help but think. He climbed up just as quickly but halfway to the top she noticed three more guards enter the tower, this time with their bows at ready. They fired simultaneously.Flossina yelled, "Hurry!"Marlon looked below him and saw the arrows coming for him he climbed faster than he ever had and felt the familiar piercing of his flesh as an arrow grazed his right arm. He had been taught to ignore the pain and succeed with the mission. Princess Flossina was his mission and until she was safe he couldn't stop. Flossina watched as they readied their bows again. He saw the look of sheer worry on her face. Her emotions for him softened his heart towards her even more. He didn’t know why it mattered, or why he cared at this very moment with everything happening arou
The Jewel Of Humanity Rest...
Flossina felt the crisp, cool wind on her face and was so grateful he had covered her with his thick warm cloak. She thanked the gods for her new champion. She closed her eyes and sighed. It was a sigh of relief. She relaxed against him as they soared above the clouds. She felt her eyes growing heavy. She was bone tired. Tonight was the bravest she'd ever been or had to be. She had succeeded in keeping her virtue intact. She recalled knocKing the General unconscious on the floor, and she smiled at his misfortune. All her life she had been taught that a Princess was permitted to revel in her country's accomplishments, and not their own. She sighed again. Her eyelids were getting so heavy as if he had read her mind he put his lips to her ear and spoke. It sent tingles all over her body."You can rest. You're safe."
The Jewel Of Humanity I'm Fine...
When he returned he had fresh linens and a wooden bowl filled with steaming water. He sat it down on the small table beside the bed and took one of the small square pieces of linen and dipped it into the water."I have to clean this." He told her.Flossina was feeling a myriad of emotions at the moment and really didn't want Marlon fussing over her bruises. They did hurt like hell. She didn't want him to think she was being weak or difficult. She had already caused quite enough trouble in this man’s life. If she wanted him to help her she had to begin to show him that he could trust her. She sat quietly, holding her small frame as still as she could while he tended to the wounds on her face, arms, and hands. She was still surprised at how gentle he was with her. The contrast to his persona intrigued her
