Thread: The Bond -Creation & Frelance-

The trip across the quarters wasnt terribly tedious. Admittedly, the journey was a long one. However, the miles traveled was easily forgotten by the elegance around her. The light of the sun accented the mixture of warm colors in the sky as it retired behind the mountains in the distance. The vibrant blues, purples, and reds of the various surrounding plants looked almost animated. The fields of green seemed to drag on worlds across. Ashes skin burned with anxiety at the sight of what she would now call partner that was only gallops away. Perhaps it was excitement that brought the natural dimples to her cheeks. At least hes handsome, in some sense. From what she could tell these yards away. When Honestly, she didnt give a damn about the duty and responsibility to the kingdom. As far as Ashe was concerned, she lost that responsibility the moment they shipped her off. And she definitely didnt care much for bonding a neighboring enemy. A man to boot! As far as Ashe was concerned, if he did his job and did it well, she didnt give a damn who he was. It was common knowledge that corruption ran vast with mages. Power was addictive, and the amount of power Ashe possessed was one even she didnt quite understand fully. Even now, the potential disaster of her corruption could be catastrophic. If Antrim was able to put her at bay, even if that meant by death. If he is capable of doing what must be done in controlling her power so the innocent is not harmed, only then will he be worthy in her eyes. Enemy or not. No matter her own desires, it was becoming more and more clear how serious her situation was And becoming more and more clear that Ashe should start taking this situation seriously. The sooner the better. That reality hit her harder than two dozen horses. They were no longer in the safety of the black tower any longer. No. If Ashe were to lose her mind to the whisperer she would have no one but her own will and self-discipline if he couldnt pull through The girl halted her horse before hopping off the saddle, stepping forward within an arms length of the handsome man How about we dont make this any more difficult that is already is. Only moments later, Sister Veran and her ward, Brother Rallius, approached. Ah, they have arrived already. Good. Veran spoke Lets get straight to business then, shall we? Please take your places as I explain the process from here forward She nodded to the magic circle on the floor. Lets get straight to business then The statement caused her to have a desire to laugh. Instead Ashelin didnt say a word, not one. Her intense stare shifted between the Antrim and the elders beside her. Still, no words. Ah, yes. So, this is how it must be. But, was she ready to a part of her to be shackled down like some prisoner? After all, this power was a part of her very being. A part she both despised but couldnt live without. Would anyone understand that? Well, he would if this happened Her weight shifted before crossing her arms under her chest then staring out the window. When Veran opened her mouth to explain the process, Ashe interrupted. We need to bond, spirit and body. Do you understand what that means? Ashe turned to the man who will soon know all of Ashes secrets and desires. to put It plainly, we will become one whole in two separate forms. I will know your thoughts, secrets, desires and regrets. You, will be aware of mine. Are you prepare for something like this with me? How did yo Veran was interrupted. How did I know about that since no one was willing to tell the two of us until it was too late and we were stuck with each other? Im more powerful than you realize I am. Thats what youre afraid of, isnt it? Ashe took a step forward, causing Rallius to step between the two protectively. Am I wrong? Veran placed a hand on her Templars shoulder before taking a step forward, No, you are not wrong. What do you plan on doing then, Ashe. If you wanted, we all know you are more than capable of escaping and never being found again. If you wish to run, then you should do it now. Ashes eyes met with hers in an intense stare. I will never run. I shall prove to you, all of you, how wrong you are of me. If that means bonding to this man. Then so be it. I will prove to everyone. Veran smiled. Very well. Then you know what must be done. Then, are you two ready for the bonding ritual?
