Thread: OF EMERALD & HOPE: A Star Wars Saga [HopefulRebel x Temptationist]

The moment you exited, Typhonis entered. There was a fury in her step, and a darkness in her eyes. You are betraying our people!' She barked at me as she approached. For once, she was alone. And this interaction was far more personal than it was professional. Kommander Typhonis came right up to my face, her nostrils fuming like a bull seeing red. Oh, like I betray you? I scoffed back sarcastically, turning my back on her before swiftly spinning around again. OH . That was you . Typhonis sneered, cocking her head back and suddenly falling to shame. I made a mistake- One you're LUCKY I didn't have your head for. Treason via infidelity against the matriarchy is punishable by DEATH - need I remind you again... I growled to her, a clear sign of my begrudging and authority here. She lowered her head, her eyes planted on the floor. It didn't mean anything. My eyes widened, Hmph... I retorted. It didn't have to. It only took those four words to cause the once strong and bold Typhonis to reduce to watery eyes and failed expressions. When will you forgive me? She asked, trying to look me in the eyes though she had difficulty doing so. I'm your sister , for Alda's sake. Alda, the great mother earth, was a holy and sacred name. And I'm your Empress. I reminded her, again and again. Our sisterhood only made the betrayal that much worse. I sighed, moving over to overlook the festivies down below. When you start trusting me... I added, my voice softening, ... and telling me the truth . Typhonis swallowed hard, sighing even deeper than I had before. Ka'leria... She came to stand beside me, looking down on the Kaspian people by my side. I wish to marry her. My head shot up to look at her. My mouth was agape and my eyes wide. I tried to speak but it felt as though something was caught in my throat. Shaking my head, I looked away, unable to bear the look in Typhonis' eyes as she admitted what I had feared most. Sucking my lips between my teeth, I took a deep breath - trying not to allow the emotions to get the best of me. Exhaling, I looked to my hands, fidgeting with the material of my dress before me. If you promise to cherish and love her as I did... My hear ached as I said these words. ...then I give you my blessing. Typhonis' eyes lit up. She grabbed from my nervous hands, holding them tenderly in her own as she begged for my attention with her eyes. Sister... She swallowed, Thank you! Tears welled up in her eyes as did mine. Finally turning to look at her, we fell into an embrace... Though the only image passing through my fragile mind was the haunting memory of Nafi'lya - my lover - and Typonis - my sister - in bed . The doors to the chamber suddenly slid to an open, without even the slightest knock or warning. I entered your room without a single word, the guards standing firmly behind me until I waved them away with the flick of my hand. The door hummed as it closed, but once the steel was sealed again, the room was in silence once more. Only the soft sound of my gliding cloak and the light beep of my DOG-7i bot could be heard my silence mildly alarming for it not unusual. Without formally greeting you, I came to stand by your side in front of the glass wall. My attire had changed. The extravagant lace-embroided gown had been replaced by a simpler maxi skirt and a white bralette, which hid mostly behind the great white cloak that draped my shoulders. Looking out to the clear coral reef that livened the scenery, my eyes stayed focus on the blue abyss before us. We are not thriving... I spoke abruptly, as if I were talking to myself. True, our people live... but our culture is dying . DOG-7i, who had been eagerly awaiting my attention at my side, lowered his head in sadness. A low hum of beeping emitted from him, as if his body was shutting down. We are like a stone the ocean beats against . With each year, a little more of us is worn away . My fell silent, still staring out to the deep blue. I let several moments of silence sit between us, knowing full well my intentions were confusing, at best. Turning my head to finally look at you, I awaited for your dark eyes to meet mine. My fingers rose to the nape of my neck, snaking themselves through the silk string holding the cloak around my chest. Commander Dameron... My voice was soft, smooth, and sultry. I sounded breathless as your name cross my moist tongue, my olive irises falling to the curve of your plump lips as I pulled the silk in one seductive motion. The cloak unraveled at my shoulders, the white sheet slipping off of my slim body. Do... My fingers did not stop at the cape. From one second to the next, they moved to release even the skirt from my hips. The thin fabric fell to my feet, revealing my shapely figure and a strappy, white bikini . - Do you swim? DOG-7i had disappeared in to an opening in the wall. With him, BB-8. Raising my hand to the glass, my olive irises became brighter and brighter. My pupil restricted to just a pin, and my palm, fixated to the cold window, began to emanate light. The wall began to splinter and splice - the cracks of the compromised glass glowing an emerald green. The alarms in the underground establishment triggered, causing the automatic lock-down of the rooms surrounding us. The guards, in a panic, tried to pry open the door - but it was no use. And there was no time. Everything happened in mere seconds, but as my eyes focused on only you, it seemed liked time was moving in slow motion. My hand lifted from the fractured and weakened window, forming my index finger to a point. It didn't matter what you said, what you shouted, or the fear that filled the chests of the men outside of that door... With a single tap of my nail, the entire wall holding the ocean out came crashing down. The glass imploded , buckling under the weight of the ocean's heavy mass. Water tidal-waved through the room, striking with unforgivable force was it swept us into its strong, monstrous grasp. The impact of the waves formed a vacuum - sucking the two of our bodies into the ocean's deep blue. We were nearly 100 feet below the surface, and as the water spiraled, only took us deeper. Despite the ocean of blue, there was a glimmer of light - a striking force that called to you, like a siren singing to its sailor. My body appeared just feet before you. My eyes still bright and dazzling as I looked at you underwater. My chest began to glow a deep emerald green. As if a light was being shun from underneath my skin - a pattern of green veins sprawled over my shoulders, arms and within me, like someone, something was hiding inside of me. Reaching my hands out to you, I slid my fingers around the back of your head. Planting my thumbs firmly on your jawline, I pulled our faces together and joining our lips. The light from my chest seeped through my lips and to yours. A invigorating energy filled your chest as I breathed air, and life, back in to you. As my lips parted from their embrace, I looked into your dark eyes. You could breathe. You were breathing, underwater. Taking your hand in mine, I pulled you towards me, urging you to follow my lead. But as I swam ahead of you it became apparent that it wasn't the light of the world above us... I was swimming further and further into darkness. It would be total blackness before you saw anything again. But when you would, it would be as we plunged to the surface. Bobbing my head up to oxygen again, I took a deep breath and looked to you as you transitioned out from underwater. As you opened your eyes, you would find yourself in another place entirely. In another world .
