"That’s it? That can’t be the end of the story!”
“Yea that can’t be. They have to get married right?!”
The twins, Tris and Alicia leaned forward as they listened to Kim’s story of their mysterious older sister Fye. Their matching golden hair bounced as they shook their heads. Tris’s cooper colored eyes and Alicia’s more autumn colored pleaded with Kim for the story not to be over.
Laughing Kim sipped her glass of wine as she spoke, “That’s all she wrote, you can say.” Seeing the girls not satisfied she waved a hand at them, “They’ve done nothing else. That’s all that happened for now.”
They shook their heads in unison as Alicia, the more romantic of the two said, “But they’re in love, they haven’t even told each other yet. They need to say it and get married.”
Tris ignored her sister’s remarks as she would usually comment on it but instead drew her brows together. Being the more practical of the two she wanted answers, “You still didn’t explained how it all fits together. How does the snake demon fit in the story? And what does the ghost family have to do with any of this? How did he even find her?”
Smirking Kim leaned back against her pillows, loving the marked interest from the girls, “Well, the snake demon was a part of Shiraga’s father’s old horde. The bounty on Shiraga’s head may technically be gone but some still want his power and stance as prince for themselves. So the snake demon thought to try giving himself a power-up by stealing the spiritual energy from souls, like the ghost he practiced on in that house.” Which led to the discovery of his new poison which he used to torture Fye, but Kim kept this thought to herself.
Nodding the girls began to understand the story more. Tris was the first to speak up, “So he somehow heard of the prophecy and wanted the power it promised for himself?”
Kim wiggled her hand, “Well, yes and no. The prophecy that’s been passed around and well known is a broken version. When the Goddess first told it to the ancestors they didn’t bother recording it or anything so it got passed along by word of mouth. As the years passed and generations changed the true wording of the prophecy became twisted.”
“Like ‘Telephone’!” Alicia exclaimed.
Laughing Kim pointed at her, “Yes exactly like Telephone.”
Tris jutted her chin at Kim, “So how’d you know the real prophecy?”
Kim sipped her wine as the memory was brought back to the surface, “It was the first vision the Goddess gave me.” The damn thing nearly knocked me off my feet from the pure power behind the vision.
Bouncing on her legs Alicia leaned closer, “Are they gonna get married now?”
Tris held up her hand, “Wait, that still doesn’t explains how he managed to find her.”
Kim smiled as she laughed into her glass of wine, “Well that I can’t explain. You’ll have to ask him yourself. As for if they’ll get married or not, that’s up to them and the future they’ll write themselves.”
Alicia giggled, “I just know they will.” She turned to her sister, “We’ll get to see Fye then too!”
Tris gave a small smile, not believing it as much as Alicia was, but Alicia remained hopeful as she turned back to Kim, “Can you tell us the real prophecy now?”
Smiling Kim set down her glass and sat up, placing her hands at her side as she began to speak…
…Fye moaned as Shiraga crushed her against him again. Rolling around in the familiar bed she marveled at the feel of him on top of her, wrapping her arms around his neck engulfing him in her warmth. Shiraga’s moaned sounded deep in his throat, rumbling his chest as he felt himself rearing up again for this woman. His woman.
Laughing Fye broke the kiss and laid back against the pillows, “A girl’s gotta eat you know.”
Leaving his naked body pressed against hers Shiraga tilted his head with a playful smile on his lips, “Ah yes of course, you humans must eat.” He dove for her neck and started to nuzzle it with his lips and teeth marveling at how warm she felt to his touch, “But so must we demons as we fest on this succulent flesh.”
Her eyes fluttered close as she began to lose her train of thought, laughing even as she gently pushed against him, “Ah but if you expect me to pull another all nighter at full capacity I suggest some food, now.”
“Do you even need food anymore?,” he asked, slightly irritated as he wanted to play some more.
Giggling she teasingly pressed her breast against his chest, “Yes. I’m still human, for now.”
He grumbled against her neck as he complained, making her smile even more. Sighing he rolled off her, leaning on his side he pulled her up against him. With his arm propping up his head he stared down at her smiling face but she saw the light starting to fade from his eyes as he stared at her eye that was damaged. Remembering her state only hours before, he felt his shock and grief slowly coming back. Feeling this in him Fye grabbed his hand, pulling it to her lips and kissed his knuckles. As she held onto his hand she looked up at his eyes and asked, “How did you find me?”
Staring at her he was silent as she saw the memories playing through his mind. With his thumb gently rubbing her knuckles he spoke, “I searched for you, for what seemed for years. No matter the realm I went to I could no longer find your trace or any scent of you.” He stared at their hands as his eyes grew darker, “I was beginning to think perhaps it was too late but then,” looking up he smiles into her eyes as he wraps his arms around her, “I heard your voice. You said my name and when I followed the sound I found you.”
Smiling she snuggled closer to him, feeling herself becoming incased in his warmth. She would have it no other way as she closed her eyes, “That’s right I made a choice and I choose you.”
Raising his eyebrow he looked at her, “Choose me for what?”
Reaching up she began to run her thumb along his jaw line as she thought, “The prophecy said that a girl would die and the demon she choose to help her, could revive her, make her something more.”
He stared at her confused as his brows drew together, “I don’t understand. That girl’s soul said you would be eaten.”
“Eaten?,” Fye tilted her head up confused and then laughed. “Oh that was Kim. She was playing with you. That’s not what the prophecy says at all.”
He made a note to himself to throttle a certain little girl’s throat the next time he saw her as he asked, “Then what did the prophecy did say?”
Snuggling close with her head on his shoulder she whispered the true version of the prophecy Kim told her many years ago:
“One who is of Goddess and burning bright of Light
Chooses from the Darkness her way of Light
For in Darkness she shall fall and that Darkness gives life, gives Light
With the communion of Light and Dark brings
Resurrection of Goddess with that Darkness and brings forth Light”
“You would die,” Shiraga stared at her stunned.
Her lips twitching in a smile she nodded, “Yes. The prophecy said that a head would die and if she chooses a ‘Darkness,’ a demon, that demon could bring her back to life and make her the new goddess.”
She thought of the years to come, adjusting to being the new Goddess, accepting this new part of herself. Eventually she will leave her human part aside, fully accepting her Goddess reign but she will always remember this ‘spark,’ this demon who stroke her fire.
Shiraga laid back against the bed, pulling Fye with him as he thought. Placing his hand behind his head he smirked, “So that means I have control over you.”
Fye playfully smacked his chest with her hand, “You know you already have control over me.” With a loving smile she whispered, “Ever since that first night you saved me.”
“Aye,” he pulled her chin up to stare down at her loving eyes and smiled, “we saved each other that night.”
Fye laughed, “And what did I save you from? You were strong enough to defend against that blade.”
Smirking Shiraga said, “From boredom.”
Agust, Fye smacked at his chest again with a fiery playful smile on her lips. Food forgotten, they rumbled and tumbled on the bed again as they each fought for the upper hand. Throughout the tearing bed sheets and screaming roars of ecstasy Fye knew Kim was right even if she didn’t know Kim said that exact same thing. They would write their own future themselves, together.
