Thread: A time not my own (pony and kratos)

kratos Naturally he would have laughed if someone asked him what he was, although he decided she just simply was unsure just like a lot of things in this world that had confused her so far. A human,.. of which we as a species fill up most of this planet.. A slight look of confusion crossed Seth upon hearing her next question as he did not remember telling her about his mate that he lived with yet he simply spoke He will be fine with it,.. that and you can't stay around here, I would not want you to have to be stuck in such a confusing place, not knowing what anything really was.. pony Auria looked at him carefully I didn't know you were interested in fellow males it is surprising your culture accepts this. My people would have exiled you this world of yours is truly amazing. Well as long as he does not mind me being there then I will continue to follow. This is strange that humans the corrupt breed are now ruling this world in mine they are treated like a disease. I am not like you at all but you are different than the few I have seen. She said softly. She looked up at him curiously I suppose it is a good thing that I am a half breed or I would not have lasted long in this intense light from the sky. My fathers kind would be killed instantly we should hurry inside before I am burnt. she said softly. kratos From what she had said it almost seemed like she was implying something which quickly hit exactly what she was talking about. A startled expression took a hold of him before he looked at her unsure what to say before speaking once again. I believe you have mistaken something else about my world.. a mate is a friend.., He was simply visiting for the weekend.. but I have always been interested in females.. His voice almost held a nervous tone before he managed to take control of himself a little better. Although he was not sure what she meant by half breed, or her fathers kind he decided it was best to move them out of the sun if it could burn her with exposure as they were nearing his house. We are almost there.. about a minute or more,.. and what did you mean.. half breed? pony oh my apologies for that I did not know this in my world a mate is your chosen partner for life. she said softly. umm I take you do not have mixes in your culture. I am a mix I'm not just human like you I am two parts. I am part elven on my mothers side...and um well my father was a lord of the night...a vampire she said softly she lowered her head slightly. do not worry I will not feed I'm not like my father I took to my mothers habits. I do not eat meat but on a rare occasion. she said softly. She looked him in the eyes. She wished that she could figure out how to get home she knew she would never fit in here exactly she was the only one left of her kind. and the sun I'm just a bit more sensitive to the red skin that brings than most. she said softly. She bowed her head a bit she could tell by the way he behaved that he might be able to understand her more than most here. kratos Occasionally he had heard the term used like the way she had originally thought of which he understood now why she had said it partially helping him understanding her difference to most of the people in his world. Seth listened quite closely to the words that Auria had to say and at first after hearing myths about vampires and legends a slight show of fear had shot across him although it disappeared quickly hearing that she was different to what he had heard about vampires. Then again that was to be expected since she definitely was not from around here. His gaze looked into hers briefly before he finally stopped walking before turning to the left and then walking up to a door you have to bare that sun no longer.. as we are here pony She smiled and nodded I'm sorry if I startled you at all by sharing my breeding with you but you have nothing to fear. if I meant you harm I would have done something by now. she said softly. She looked at his home it was strange to her all of the homes where she was from were made of stone for the most part only the poor mad it of anything else but things were so different here. She pulled out the knife and drug her nails across the blade and it was sharpened like it was fresh from the smith. She handed it to him this is my gift to you it is the most valued thing I own. I would like you to have it. she said softly. She looked him in the eyes what he did not know was that the blade was truly remarkable it was powerful an strong and could almost any living creature even the undead. kratos Seth briefly thought about what she had said, finding it completely true of which all fear had completely removed itself entirely. He knew many things in his house would be strange to her, of which soon enough he was going to show her a few of them but first making sure she promised not to destroy anything in this house by attacking it, not wanting something like a broken TV, or radio just because it startled her. Hearing what she said he gazed at what Auria was offering before smiling, something about it telling him it was not just simply a standard knife. Slowly he took it from her hands studying it slightly for a moment before smiling softly I must thank you, although for now I would not know were to put it.. maybe hold onto it for me until I can work out a place.. okay Auria? pony She nodded and put the blade away she held onto his jacket and looked around his home a bit she saw many things that frightened her just by their appearance alone she looked up at him as if seeking some kind of comfort she was not sure how to react to these strange things she would not attack anything unless he said it was ok perhaps he collected such strange things she would not to disturb his collection which was all she could really do as far as she knew to respect him. She looked up at him you a very strange looking collection she said softly continuing to look around. kratos Just from the look that seemed to reside in her eyes as she looked around, a lot of things confused and even simply scared her although she at least appeared to look like she was not going to attack or damage any of it since he had asked her nicely not to do such a thing. Softly Seth smiled hearing what she said before speaking back It's actually pretty common objects in this world.. come have a look at the kitchen, I am sure you will quite like it although it might come as a bit of a shock how everything is. pony Where she came from quite a bit of cooking a food preparation was done outside and now he acted as if it were all inside but that would be silly this place was too small for all of it to fit inside. She looked around more curiously she slowly walked towards this strange object it was a box with a window in it. She poked it and suddenly it seemed to come life various sounds coming from it she jumped and hid behind him it was so strange she knew she wasn't supposed to attack it so she hid from it. She stared at it as images passed across the window like little people were inside it. She did not understand. kratos Hearing the television turn on he felt her seem to hide behind him from it, but this was expected since she was completely new to technology and this would just seem extremely weird and freaky for the mind to see. We call those a Television.. the people you see on the screen now, they are not actually in the tv, but it is.. a magical image of them, of which the TV keeps receiving these images to create them moving.. It was hard to try and explain it to her and so he decided for now to simply turn it off using the power button. pony She nodded trying to understand this place had some very strange practices. do you have any ancient texts in your home that I might study to find out why I am here by any chance. I need to find out how to get home I don't think I will be able to blend in here very well considering I grew up there I do not know anything of this world I would have to start all over. she said softly. She bowed her head she was sure she came off as rude though she had nothing waiting for her at home and she had nothing left their anyways she was exiled from both of her people for reasons she did not understand though she would not share that with him. kratos His eyes looked at her hearing what she had asked about scratching his head lightly as he thought for a moment before deciding that the standard books within his house might suffice at least a little to give her an idea of this particular modern world that she seemed quite a stranger to. Seth answered seeing as she seemed to think maybe something she said was rude of which he wanted to clear it up that it was fine Well.. I have some texts you can read, that might be worthwhile.. they should teach you a little of this location, but i doubt you will find anything about yourself around here... even Fantasy books do not seem to be to similar.. come this way and I will find you a few that you will find useful pony She followed him closely She gently grabbed his shoulder I am not sure if this is alright in your culture but in mine it is a sign of thanks. she leaned up and gently kissed cheek she looked at the books he had lead her too which should I probably start with and why are the people here dressed so strangely. she said softly. She looked up at him unsure of where she should start her learning process. kratos Although unexpected Seth found himself liking how her culture said thanks, as he felt her soft lips against his cheek before hearing her question of which an answer found it's way out of his throat as he grabbed a few books. I guess you could say, this is just how we dress around here.. but to begin with, I think maybe look at this history book.. it gives a brief description of our time, and progress's to modern time.. of which is what we are in now pony alright thank you. she said softly. She lightly placed her hand on the book closing her eyes she suddenly jerked standing up straight her eyes quivering. She fell back into a chair it has been a while since I have absorbed that much information. she said softly. She turned slowly to look at him is there anything else I should learn while I am here she said looking up at him. She studied him he seemed to have enjoyed the kiss she had given him. She stood out of the chair. do you have a place where I can trade so I may purchase some clothes that would be deemed more appropriate I must blend in if I am to survive. she said softly. kratos It was odd to see how she had taken in the information so quickly, of which just the fact that she could 'absorb' it so easily made him feel slightly inferior even though he knew more about this world from general experience as well as some books. Hearing what she said he thought about it before speaking What you are wearing will be fine when not in public.. that was all Seth decided to say about what she was wearing at this moment, liking how it looked on this vampyric elf. I can handle paying for some clothes for you though.. so I can show you a little of everything that is around at least this neighborhood pony I am not supposed to accept gifts they are not exactly a normal thing where I am from. I will trade with you though I have many collectibles that you might desire. she said softly. She looked up at him I must earn such things or be able to trade. she said softly. She started browsing through some of his other books looking to see if there was anything else she might need to learn. kratos Although her system slightly confused him, he could partially agree with it since nothing really came for free and this was simply reinforcing such a thing although it made him wonder about birthdays. What would they be like. I am sure we can come to some agreement then.. but I still will buy you the clothes that you need, in exchange for some form of gift.. up to you what you want to give though since I was simply originally just going to let you has it as a favor.. instead of some sort of exchange pony I am not sure what would be of use to you. You have so much I do not know what I could offer you other than some of my collection or perhaps some skill I possess. she said softly looking up at him she went back to browsing through the books and found one on the nature of the human mind. seh touched it and closed her eyes tightly absorbing all of the information within it she opened her eyes slowly you so much here that I can learn. she said softly kratos Slowly Seth scratched his head for a moment before watching as she seemed to find another book, this one probably more helpful with understanding what went through the human mind a little. Nodding slightly he then started to speak A skill or something sounds fine.. although I still do not understand why everything must be earned, us humans sometimes just give each others free gifts.. but if your culture makes you do such a thing.. I will not try to force you not to give something.. pony what can I offer you? she asked softly she soon started to look through his other books is there another place where I can find books that might help me to learn more like a shop or something. she asked softly. She sighed looking down I am strangely eager to learn more. I want to know more of this place. she said softly she turned looking over at him she felt so strange right now she sat down looking around she had already learned so much and she had so much left to learn. Kratos shall we get you what you require first before working that out..? That way we might be able to find something of equal value.. or simply something that will help. Hearing what she said after that though slowly he nodded as he spoke I could take you to the library.. it should still be open for numerous hours .. so we should go get you some clothes and what not first and then I can take you to there, before returning here eventually and working out what you can offer me in return for all that. pony She nodded do you have anyplace where lower priced things may be purchased perhaps even a place well we had this place that in times of poverty they would remove the clothes of the dead or those from abandoned homes and sell them for lower prices. I found many interesting things there. do you have a place like that. So as to save you some cost. she said softly. kratos Hearing what she said a slight look of shock crossed him for a moment before slowly he shook his head gently not exactly.. although we have places where people decide they do not need certain clothes again, and so give them to stores of which they sell them for cheap prices.. it showed there was similarities between the two cultures although in direct comparison they were two different extremes instead.. one simply more well to Seth at least.. modern, the other.. unknown to him pony I'm guessing you do not burn your dead here. she said softly. She looked around a bit well we should go there then so as not to cost so much. she said softly. She looked up at him and smiled a bit why do you not have a mate most men your age are where I come from and then again so are most women. Luckily for me I was exiled so I do not have to consider such things. she said softly. kratos Hearing what she said he simply shook his head lightly Not very often unless they request it in the will they leave behind. her question caught him slightly off guard yet now Seth decided it was time to be truthful with such a thing instead of being quite as he had planned to about such a thing The last one I had cheated on me.. for my closest friend, they are now together.. far away from here,.. although I am partially glad about such a thing.. I was only used so she could get closer to him.. he sighed lightly before starting to walk towards his front door come now.. lets not dwell on that.. instead lets get you a change of clothes.. pony I am sorry you were hurt in such a way you deserve much better you are very kind. I understand your pain if that helps you at all. When I was exiled I at the time was seeing some one and the law clearly stated I was not allowed to reenter the city. I had done nothing actually wrong to be exiled I was framed for stealing something valuable to my people. I slipped into the city to see the man I was seeing and he was happy to see me but he betrayed me he wanted the cash value of the piece but framed me for it and kept the wealth but he also had been seeing some one else on the side. I found all of this out right before the guards broke in and tried to arrest me. she paused for a long moment I escaped and I know that pain. she said softly. She looked up and gently stroked his cheek a slight sense of the kind and gentleness she had once contained showed in her eyes then she looked away yes we should head out.
