Thread: A Fairy's Tale

Lox was currently floating somewhere between the waking world and the dream land and looking at the two with no small amount of fatigue. It hadn't been more than an hour since he had attempted to lie down and heal himself when he felt an infernal scratchy feeling at the back of his well guarded mind. Such a brave little mouse, scratching away with a persistence that might very well warrant his attentions even if waking up meant another few moments of agony and a monumental bad temper being lavished on whoever was trying to talk to him. It had to have been one of his stronger residence, or at least an excessively brave one considering his condition but he would either listen for a few heartbeats or wait a few more before diving head long into an explosive rage, so as a compromise Lox turned the entirety of his attention on the loathsome irritant letting her realize that squashing her mind and leaving her mad was being considered at that very moment. He tutted the harpy for bothering him while being one one of his oldest residence wasn't beneath his temper, and her hesitation at communicating was only driving his anger when Luca had decided to forgo speaking altogether and simply showed him what she was seeing. Lox actually forgot his temper as he watched a very devious puppy doing some very questionable things with his newly acquired fairy. And it stunned him just how taken aback he was of little Silvia's beauty. While he may be human it wasn't beyond Lox's ability to see the beauty of every creature that walked his garden, and while all of them possessed looks that would turn even a mundane human's brow for another species he had never been so thoroughly smitten as to blatantly stare. The hell hound he brought out of the pit was a fine specimen of a woman as well, but the puppy seemed to know just how to bend and press herself into the smaller fairy to turn the simple image into an extremely arousing scene when he realized this wasn't what he should have been seeing. Luca showed him this because his hound was trying to rape the poor little fairy, and Lox actually considered leaving her to it if it meant knocking Silvia down a few pegs from her high and noble demeanor.... but he was sorely tempted to turn the girl to his side instead of breaking her into an obedient shell, and so after brushing Luca's mind from his own Lox drove himself into full painful reality and sat up slowly until he was on the edge of the bed. Dark magic was easy to take a hold of as it was currently coursing through his body to heal him, an abomination to every healing art on the planet for it exacted three times the toll of pain and fatigue in return for completely healing him in a short time. Coaxing a small bit and forcing it into one of the many shadows of his bed sheets Lox sent seeking black tendrils to coil about the small fairy and drag her through the shadows and onto his bed. His new puppy he noticed brushed his mind only for an instant before bounding off into the woods where he heard though her mind a yelp from a particular harpy. But returning to his body and letting the black magic go about it's work again had him shaking and leaning over with his right arm supporting himself on his right knee. God he just wanted the healing to be over with but since it seemed he couldn't leave the fairy be without her getting into trouble he decided to simply let her sleep here in the hopes that by the dawn his body would be well again and he could deal with his problems directly. Leaning back he took the edge of the black silk sheets and draped them over her body to cover her nakedness before standing slowly and limping to a long narrow cot against the wall. He literally collapsed into the old cot to the squeaking of old joints in the thing and slipped slowly back into that mid point he didn't dare cross. Death awaited him if he stayed awake and didn't rest, but so to did it await if he let himself drift all the way into sleep with black magic still coursing through his veins. Maybe at last he'd be able to rest for a bit without being bothered but before he closed his eyes all the way he gazed at the beautiful creature that was currently gracing his bed, and wondered just how soft she would feel if he could have her the way his puppy had been handling her.
