Thread: A Radiant Slither and the False God. (Clearsight, SomethingEsoteric)

Hilde didnt know what she expected or what she wanted from this, what the possible pay out for attacking the woman could be she didnt want to hurt her did she? she knew the road of desperation ended with not but wrong doing and even the best intentions could putrefy carried out with too heavy a hand and yet shed tackled Val and barked at her with the most heavy pedigree her otherwise dull tongue could manage. Shed never known herself to be quite so vindictive toward a fellow free people, elf, human or other even some more than unsavory ones and yet here she was atop Val, wringing her collar angrily for what? A scream could never change her, she knew what she did, she knew the darkness that blemished her heart, being reminded of these and reprimanded for this would do no good energy and breath and she knew that so why in the seven hells did she chose to tackle and mount her. in fact, as she stared down on Val breathing both heavily and warily she knew things would only prove to get worse she knew she was only antagonizing the elf and compromising herself but she didnt pull away, no, in a way she almost felt thrilled by their proximity, by the head seeping through the elfs form into hers, warming the insides of her thighs and crotch, her calves and even her fingers, she felt drawn closer and closer still when Vals hands found her hips, her face twitching and lips quivering. Her face twisted shamefully, both for her newly recognized want for this warmth and at the cold hard truth of their world, the cold hard truth she and people like she fought as their lives work, their primary purpose. Cruvan always told her their purpose was a buffer, a balance, to right what wrongs they could and purge what evil was in their reach but he also told her of the contrast of a shadow, that the brighter the light in the world the longer and deeper a shadow could be cast that even in the most blinding of radiance one was left just that blind blind to the evil that could be abound, that in the most dim of darkness a light would always penetrate their purpose was not to vanquish all darkness but rather do their part in keeping the world from blurring to a grey swath of indifference, to make clear the contrast and uphold what it meant to be righteous, to inspire and protect what it meant... it was a lesson shed never truly understood in her nave youth but maybe Val was the key to that lesson or maybe just another example. more accurately, she seemed to be another lesson in motion. Her expression voided for a moment, doe-eyed and blank faced her mouth agape hot breaths shuddering through her lips, she wasnt wrong, what she said as her hips were closed upon, held tightly to Val in a way even she nave as she was knew to be intimate or erotic or intimate? Did Val care for her? Sometimes people were cruelest to those they cared for were short tempered to those they cared for but they barely-but then there was love at fi-well maybe Val wasnt capa-and then what about herself Val couldnt be touching her that way if she didn-and Hildes entire body quivered, her thighs shifting uncomfortably atop Val as she grimaced slightly, blushed all the more brilliant, her offended anger brow beat away by indomitable arousal? Sins of flesh, what she thought might be, flashed behind her eyes, indulgence of flesh at very least How can you hurt someone without it being personal? She whispered wounded and vulnerable while Val spoke, the determination and fire in her a smouldering wisp that was only snuffed all the more when the compliment laced by insult proceeded. She was remarkable, but thought a fool for her purpose in life and what was worse it consigned beliefs Hilde in lonesome moments felt nipping at her spirit, she didnt think about herself nigh ever all she thought about was continuing Cruvans pilgrimage, helping those in need, humility and piety and and-and often that was enough for her, often that filled her with self-worth and peace and serenity she was only human though, she had wants, she had desires, she had feelings inside she couldnt explain or justify she wanted an arrangement Hnnng A small coo sweetened her throat as Valashyas lips met hers I never felt the kiss of love, Nor maidens hand in mine. the words a far cry from thought though shed sung them countless times the longing in the lyrics such that it had manifested so deeply within her then swelled so brightly in deliverance, such ecstasy and joy did she feel in the exchange. Her first kiss with a woman despite her compared villainy Hilde was in constant awe of shed thought of this moment, time and time again in those lonesome moments with a maiden knight not so much unlike Val in fact well, in that she was a woman-at-arms. When the kiss broke a whimper broke with it, her eyes were near lidded and confusion was present though more than anything bashful want, desire, need that could be described as lust but too shallow and innocent for that particular school of emotion. She looked exactly as she was a young soul, an inexperienced heart, a nave girl coming fresh off her very first kiss one not unwelcomed in the slightest when practice reached over and crumpled speculations. Wha? was the only response she could illicit before a snap tore through the air like a sheet of parchment being shred inside her head, she winced and tugged away from Val, only to be pulled into another kiss one she was slightly less engorged by but certainly participated in before they split. Hilde scrambled to her feet and touched her lips, tingling like they were it was almost like she needed to affirm to herself they were still intact We have to help them! She stammered, looking about in panic before diving backward to secure her shield from the road and her sword also. -and the danger is clear Valashya I can feel it Hilde grumbled disgusted as she hid her eyes and pursed her lips, trying desperately to hide how her legs, no, her whole body quivered the chain of her armour jingling and her breath heavy. She stood there for a moment, in pause, her feet squared and her shoulders raising and dropping with every breath. - Why, why did you kiss me? the question came though her eyes never moved, remained hidden in the shadow of a hung head. Im not supposed to I-I think. She knew there was no time, but she had to know why too, Were not arranged Val. Im not supposed t- another thrill burst in the air and the clang of iron and steel, horses listing, wood splitting to splinters and fires a crackling roar.
