Welcome to A Worlde Apart. We hope you enjoy your visit.

By logging in you enter a Sci-Fi themed collaborative writing game in which you are invited to create a character (or 2) and exercise your imagination in conjunction with other writers to create a series of stories based upon a background that I (Dagiris) have started (Much inspired by www.worldearcane.com which is currently inactive) and that you as players and writers will expand upon and adapt over time.

The setting is a pocket universe entirely separate from our own, it exists in a Null Space where galaxies do not exist, only isolated star systems. Each star system is surrounded by a sphere which gives the sentient population within the illusion that they are in a "normal" area of space, their telescopes and sensors will see stars and galaxies beyond the confines of their own star system, but until they unlock the truth, then any attempt to travel beyond their star system will result getting lost in the Null Space, forever unable to to return.

He had been walking the marketplace in Kentaru with Sita, Goldeneyes and Bull, free of the Annexe able to wander and look without free of punishment. The sights had been wondrous, and then Bull had said he wanted to show him something down one of the side streets. Alarm bells should have rung in his mind, but he trusted Bull he was one of them, a brother of the Arena. Sita and Goldeneyes were occupied looking at a market stall, he had turned down a side road and it happened, something sharp caught him in the side, piercing his shirt, another in his neck. His hands scrabbled to pull then free, but the worlde was starting to turn dark about him and his legs failed to hold him up. He went to call for help, but he felt Bull's hand smother his mouth, he struck out, someone swore.....he heard Sita scream.....a flash of gold.....then nothing.

When he did wake again it was to a swaying motion, ship he thought, he was in a cage, made of metal, his neck felt heavy as did his wrists, he was manacled and collared in Iron no doubt in an attempt to suppress his fire, fools...didn't they know he could push through Iron now. He did that back at the arena some time ago, he had been training to use his Pyromancy under Iron Claw's guidance and he was getting good at it. Something was wrong though apart from the pounding head ache....he no longer felt the heat that normally coursed in his veins.....he could not feel his fire, his breathing quickened, this was not right...no drug could do this to him.

A figure melted out of the darkness of the hold and sat on a stool not too far from where the cage was bolted.

The man was heavily built, blonde hair, cold grey eyes, his voice was equally as cold and hard.

"So you are awake Blaze.....thought I might have given you too much....Madrow was not precise about the dose of sleeping drug....I have gone to much trouble to procure you Pyromancer."

The fighter Blaze, who was also known as Talanis, regarded the man and then looked away.

"I don't know you!"

The man smiled then, there was no warmth in that smile, but he seemed genuinely please that Blaze did not know him.

"My Name is Lucion...I am Cathiss' half brother....you know Cathiss don't you slave....because you belong to him, out of all of them there all he wanted was you. You are a handsome thing to be sure, but Cat has it really bad for you, gave up everything, didn't care about the others, not even Goldeneyes...all he wanted was you!"

Blaze was silent, he knew why Cathiss wanted him so badly, a side effect of his own power had driven the Slave Owner to the darkest of his nature, the desire to possess, to break, and the thing he wanted to do that to.....was Blaze.

"Now me Slave." Lucion continued.

"I have no desire for your body or your soul....I want to tame your fire to serve us....you will not find me as easy a target as Cathiss...I believe in punishment if you defy my command....I will torture you....I will drug you....I will make your life a living Underworlde until you obey me without question....you will do as I order you Blaze."

He grinned as he stood up.

"If you are wondering why you cannot summon your fire....another little concoction of Madrow's.....he found the thing to suppress a Pyromancer, and I will use it until you are broken to my will. Madrow taught me how much to dose you....it will be dangerous....might even kill you if you hold out, but you won't...you will be my fighter....Cathiss' plaything...you will be all we want until the day you die!"

Goldeneyes watched with hurt confusion as Blaze rose and stalked to the window to stare out at the courtyard below. Though the anger was slowly building inside him at the cool indifference Blaze was now treating him with in contrast to how he had been in the courtyard. He rose and stormed to where Talanis stood and yanked him round to face him.

"I came as soon as I could....I have spent my time worried sick about you...yet should I have been so concerned?" He snapped.

Blaze's eyes glowed amber and he pulled out of the elf's grip, yet Goldeneyes seemed unconcerned.

"You saw what I did downstairs....do you really think you throwing a Pyromantic tantrum concerns me!" He hissed.

"You have been through a bad time...I get that....I have suffered that too....but people have worked themselves to the bone to find you....and what do they find....that you have been killing your way through Aerie, living in lush surroundings for who knows how long and cowtowing to Lucion!"

The heat in the room was growing by the moment, the fire roared heavily in the grate, wine bubbled in the carafe on the side and the chocolates on the silver platter had melted to indistinct blobs.

"You don't know what I have been through!" Talanis growled.

"You don't know what Cathiss did....but Luc allowed me to have my power back, he gave me my name back...he took away the pain! It should have been you......but he did it!"

He pushed Goldeneyes back.

"Instead he showed me reports from Kentaru...lists of who you had been with....what you had done! Who is lying Goldeneyes! He said you thought of me as nothing more than your Uman bit of rough who you could dally with in the Annexe when the mood took you....he was right....you never actually took me to your deeper affections!"

Goldeneyes went white, the only hint of the deep anger was the pale red on his cheek bones.

"Is that what you think....is that what you really think! You would take that gutter rubbish's word over mine? Did you ever think for one minute that I loved you and had more respect for you than just to take you to my bed so quickly and treat you like another conquest!"

Goldeneyes stepped back and turned to the door looking back over his shoulder.

"I think you need some time alone away from his influence to think and that is what I will let you do Blaze!"

He stormed out and slammed the door behind him.

Talanis looked at the empty space just previously occupied by the elf and he felt a numbness inside, it was like a claw had gripped his heart and squeezed, just like when he had first arrived here. He did not know why he had said the things he did, why he had pushed Goldeneyes like that. He slowly sank to the rug and buried his head in his hands and sobbed.

Goldeneyes stormed down to the courtyard, holding his hand up when Allegro tried to stop him to see what was wrong. He pushed past the dark haired elf and out into the night air and up onto the high wall. He was breathing heavily, part was anger, part was upset. Had he been too harsh in what he had said?

Blaze had deliberately provoked him for his part in the argument, and Goldeneyes had seen red, he did not know why or perhaps deep down he did. The fire he had absorbed had not helped....thinking of Blaze with Lucion had made things worse, even if it had not been sexual....it riled him no end to think that BLaze felt he owed the man.

His expectation was that Blaze would come to his arms and things would be as they had been.....it was a foolish dream. His Blaze was gone replaced by this harder version, one that had known deceit and abuse for the last year, one that had repeatedly killed for who knows how long, the worry was that Blaze had gotten a taste for it. Elroug would not stand for a killer in their midst that could turn in them in a heartbeat.

He heard voices somewhere close, the cool calm tones of LLewellyn and the deeper gruffness of their king. Llewellyn was in flow about BLaze......Luc too........and then his name came up. The elf rolled his eyes that physician was always into something and undoubtedly he would want to know how he absorbed the fire. Problem was, he did not know how.....he had just done it. Then came Allegro, Stating had seen him in a mood and BLaze was alone upstairs in a room and he did not look good.

"Luc did what Luc always does, he undermined his brother, usually it is so subtle that Cathiss never knew, this time however I think it was more obvious, more purposeful. I do not need to speak to the man to know what he did and the drug they used is irrelevant, Talanis burnt it off till he developed a total immunity to it." Elroug said, rubbing the bridge of his snout.

"I suspect that Goldeneyes gained a powerful immunity to Pyromancy, or perhaps just Talanis specifically and whilst I also have my concerns I do not think we need to fear any harm, not physically anyway, mentally it will be different Talanis is a different person now and it is something that Goldeneyes may find hard to accept. However you are right, something isn't right and I cannot rely upon Goldeneyes should Talanis feel the need to kill again, he can do it all too easily now, I need some other way to contain his power."

Elroug knew he'd need assistance of a magical nature, something Cathiss had never looked into himself, magical arena fighters were too hard to control, too dangerous, as had been proved with Talanis, but Elroug would not be seeking to master, but to trade with, an equal agreement.

Llewellyn nodded.

"I think that would be a wise precaution for now, the boy is not who he was as you have said, he is potentially very dangerous, especially now he has a full grasp on his power and has tasted the kill more than once."

He looked up to the wall to see a shimmer of gold step back into the shadows, he shook his head and nudged Elroug gesturing upwards.

"It seems the talks have ceased for now, perhaps Goldeneyes can tell you what he has learned."

He walked away towards the main house, Allegro said Blaze was in a state and he resolved to call in on him to see if there was anything that could be done.

And right enough that was how Llewellyn found him.....in a state, huddled against a wall in a very grand room.

He stood in the doorway for a moment and assessed whether he should go in, but this was Talanis, he had known the boy a while at the Annexe. There he had been unfocussed and at the time dizzily in love with Goldeneyes, having just acknowledged that he felt that way. All that had been on the boy's mind during their lessons has been the Golden Elf and thoughts of what might happen behind closed doors and in tumbled sheets.

"Talanis." He said softly.

"It is I Llewellyn....come now, this is unlike you to be in such a way....." His eyes took in the melted items around them and the desperation of the lad's sobs and he hunkered down on the rug near him.

"I take it things did not go so well with Goldeneyes." He said reaching out to lay a hand on his shoulder, then he pulled it back again, the boy was as hot as a furnace.

"He hates me now!" The lad sniffed.

"He thinks I bed Lucion and I said some bad stuff to him...accused him of things.....Luc told me things......I believed him.....how could I not, none of you came for me."

The physician rose and found a chair and sat himself more comfortably.

"Just what has Lucion been filling your head with hmmm......nonsense to turn you against your brothers.....poison to turn you against the ones you love....like Aigiris....Lucion fell under your power Tal.....hard in the end by the look of it, he used you to usurp his brother, to take all that was Cathiss' including you."

He handed Talanis a cloth from the table to wipe his face.

"I would not lie to you would I....I always spoke my mind openly to you about you....back in the Annexe what did I call you hmmmm?"

Tal looked up a little shamefaced.

"An unfocussed spoiled brat.....just like those rich children you taught."

Llewellyn nodded.

"Aye.....your head was full up with Goldeneyes and nothing else, you were wilful and disobedient, you defied Iron Claw more than once, but know this, you could defy him a thousand times and the Wolvian would not have sold you. Those of the Annexe moved Heaven and the Underworlde to re-build Kentaru and obtain information of your whereabouts."

Talanis stared down.

"He showed me a contract....Luc showed me it."

The older man snorted.

"Luc waited until you were at your lowest ebb and then showed you a good forgery, nothing more.....those supposed lists of Goldeneyes partners and money he took for his services.....those were taken from an Annexe ledger, when Cathiss sold him off after each fight, he kept records of who to and how much....but to a broken desperate young man fed vicious lies of course they would look like anything Lucion told you!"

Talanis was silent now, staring down at the wool pattern on the rug.

"We almost lost Goldeneyes the day you were taken....the battle on the quay with Bull...he was victorious beheading that traitor but he sustained a wound, a bad wound to his mid section. I operated on him, stitched him up, managed to save his life, but within a week he was trying to get up to go and find you. He pulled all of his stitches, collapsed and started to bleed again...it happened more than once. In the end with Iron Claw's permission I sedated him for him own good, kept him like that for nearly two months on and off."

The physician gave a half smile.

"Once he was recovered I was called all of the names under the sun, some in elvish I have never heard of.....the arguments with Iron Claw ensued then, the Wolvian had taken the town, the populace named him king, but Goldeneyes did not see that, he kept respectful but argued with him at least twice a day every day about finding you! Had we still been in the Annexe under Cathiss I think Iron Claw would have flattened him!"

Llewellyn rose.

"You have been fed lies and tricked Talanis....it has been cruel and hard on you....I can only imagine what you endured with Cathiss, being forced to give that which only should have been given out of love. But Goldeneyes loves you...be in no doubt....he would have torn the Worlde apart to find you!"

Goldeneyes sat up on the stone walkway that surrounded the house, his back to the wall and his knees drawn up slightly. He had heard what Elroug and Llewellyn said and now sat contemplating what he had become, what Blaze had become and whether they could be together after all that had happened. Blaze's accusations had cut him to the quick, the looks of anger and betrayal in his lover's eyes had been more than he could stand. He had remained untouched the whole time Blaze had been gone, there had been offers of course from various folk in Kentaru who still saw him as a creature of pleasure at times, but he turned every single one down not wanting to betray his love for Blaze.

The contemplation turned quick enough to sulking and feeling sorry for himself. After all what had Blaze been doing all this time? Seemed he had been living the life of a rich man looking at the room, seemed he had been sating his desire to kill readily enough......had he been sating other new found desires? As bad as things could be with Cathiss there was no denying the man was skilled in the art of love and could make the most resistent partner finally fall to him. Not any more though....he was burned to the bone, which left Luc who had been filling Blaze's head with lies....for what? Seeing how he reacted when they arrived it was all too obvious what he had wanted from Blaze.

Goldeneyes gave a soft hiss of annoyance and wondered whether to go back to the ship.

Goldeneyes rose and stalked towards the stone steps deciding that he would go back to his bunk on the ship. He needed time to think things over, to get through this anger, to let the fire that raged inside him subside before making any decisions.

He saw Allegro across the courtyard he was with Thestro and they were drinking some ale. The pair had become like brothers since Castro's untimely death, the half daemon finding the elf's steady calm demeanour an anchor for his own turbulent emotions.

Llewellyn was nowhere to be seen, probably seeing to Blaze as he indicated from his discussion with Elroug.

Sita was with Sukie, tending some of the servants who sported minor injuries from Cathiss' less than gentle demeanour.

As for Elroug, he was not sure quite where the Wolvian might be.

Oddily he found himself thinking about Old Ma who had stayed behind in Kentaru to take care of Prince Aigiris. He would have valued the old woman's no nonesense approach to helping him reason out his own emotions and behaviour. She had worked with him for some time until he had become a better person, he recognised what he had been before was not good in any sense of the word. She would not have been impressed with his attitude to Blaze, the person he was supposed to be desperately in love with. That was just it...he was so in love that Blaze's accusations had hurt him, he was hurt....not angry....he had remained alone and the torrid accusations of his infidelity hurt. It was not Blaze's fault really....it was Luc's...he was the one that should pay.

The elf's eyes narrowed and he called out to Allegro.

"Where is Lucion imprisoned? I take it he is locked up?"

Allegro rose and beckoned his brother over.

"Come Goldeneyes drink with Thestro and I...." It was a tactic to try and divert Goldeneyes from carrying out his search for Lucion which the dark haired elf was sure would ended in death.

Goldeneyes came towards the pair, but there was a faint smile on his lips, one might have hoped the diversion had worked until Goldeneyes grabbed Allegro by the shirt and pushed him against the wall.

"Nice try but no.....where is he!"

Thestro was on his feet immediately and the larger half Daemon grabbed Goldeneyes by the back of his own shirt and yanked him away from Allegro, he slung the Goldeneyes back against the cobbled courtyard floor and growled at him.

"That is your brother...your comrade....you never lay hands upon him in such a way again....you hear me Goldie! You want Lucion he is in the Cellar, take your anger out on him not Allegro!"

Goldeneyes rose and shook himself and turned to stalk towards the wooden door that would take him underneath the house.

Allegro straightened his shirt and shook his head.

"Shouldn't have told him Thes....now we are going to have to make sure he doesn't kill him.....Elroug will go mad if Goldeneyes kills him, you know he does not believe in that sort of thing unless it is entirely necessary! Luc has information on all of Cathiss' holdings, his wealth, where things are....if we get a dead Lucion on our hands there will be the Underworlde to pay!"

Thestro shrugged.

"Maybe he just needs to beat up on him a bit....Goldeneyes suffered equally as much as Blaze at the hands of Lucion, if not worse, Lucion got physical with Goldeneyes. Do you forget that Lucion bid on him at the Auctions more than once and won!"

Allegro took a breath.

"That is not his motivation.....Lucion turned Blaze against him....Goldeneyes loved Blaze....he hurts Thestro. Goldeneyes will take his pain out on Luc and likely end his days for him!"

Goldeneyes had made it through the wooden door and he slammed it shut and smiled coldly as he saw a bolt which he drew across the inside. He then turned and walked slowly down the steps, the cellar was large and well lit with numerous doorways, but he saw Luc sat against the wall in what looked like a cell at the end.

The Uman looked up with a equally cool smile as he saw the elf approach, he wiped the blood from his nose where Iron Claw had hit him.

"So at least the Wolvian has sent me a pleasure slave to make my evening more passable....and the best one in Kentaru at that!"

He rose to regard Goldeneyes with lusty interest, Talanis seemingly forgotten for the moment.

"You were well worth the money paid to have between my sheets for the evening, my men seemed to appreciate you afterwards too. Tell me do all Golden Elves make such eager Pleasure Slaves?"

Goldeneyes leaned against the wall and listened to the tirade without a flicker of emotion on his face.

"I thought your head would be full of Talanis?" He said quietly.

That stopped the man in his tracks a dark look coming over his features.

"Talanis will be mine one day....if he isn't already....was your reunion not as fruitful as you thought it might be my pretty one?" Luc sneered.

"Perhaps he was easier to convert than most, his love turning to jealousy when he thought you were plying your trade about Kentaru. Words are powerful when whispered at the right time, I ripped what he had for you straight from his heart, after that he went to Cathiss willingly, desperate to be loved....well at first....then the fire came back and he killed Cat. Then he spoke words of love to me Goldeneyes....his words are as sweet as his kiss...are they not?"

The elf straightened and pulled his dagger from his belt.

"A sweetness you will no longer know." He hissed softly as he reached for the key that hung on the peg across the way.

Elroug snorted from where he'd been sitting, quiet and for his size completely unseen by both Luc and Goldeneyes.

"You'd like us to believe that wouldn't you Luc?"

The Wolvian stood and walked out of the shadows, no longer donning the gauntlets that he'd had earlier.

"Talanis never loved you, he manipulated you as easily as you believed you were manipulating him, you see Pyromancers come with a curious curse, they can arouse emotions in us, change how we think and feel, in my case my resolution changed, no longer willing to be Cathiss's pup....but if I'm honest I'd felt that way long before Talanis appeared on the scene, I just didn't know what it was that I felt. Some possess a natural immunity, Chay-Sa for example, others may not feel any effect, Sita desired Talanis, but she would have anyway, he's a handsome young uman. You, you saw him as a way to usurp your brother, felt you could use Talanis as much as Cathiss has used you....but in the end you still got used, you gave Talanis what he wanted, his freedom."

Elroug looked at Goldeneyes.

"I want him to live, I want him to know how much he has failed. Talanis is not his tool, or his lover....none of us can hope to command one such as him, instead we shall hope to guide him."

The Wolvian placed his large paw on Goldeneyes shoulder.

Goldeneyes fairly trembled with anger under Elroug's paw, but he put his dagger away, this was not the time to have a dispute with the king over a piece of gutter sewage and the merits of ending its days.

"Fine!" He said between gritted teeth.

The silence was interrupted by a door to the side bursting open and Allegro and Thestro bursting in with their blades drawn, which they sheepishly lowered when they saw their king.

"Everything alright Sire?" Allegro asked after a moment.

Then another voice spoke from behind them, it was Talanis and next to him stood Llewellyn.

"Come Goldeneyes....let's walk." He said firmly, his tone not taking no for an answer.

"Things may not be as they were.....but we can take them in a different direction from here."

The Golden Elf stood his ground, still bristling, from the earlier comments and from his denial of Luc's death.

Talanis pushed past Allegro and Thestro to stand defiantly in front of the elf, staring into his golden eyes.

"Gods you can still be so bloody stubborn!" He snapped.

He stood on tiptoe and kissed the elf deeply, not caring who saw or what was said.

There was a growl of anger from within the cell as Luc watched them, seeing Goldeneyes relax under the kiss.

"No!" He hissed.

"You promised me we would be together!"

Talanis broke away from his lover and came to stand by the cell bars, a cell he had occupied for six months.

"In what Worlde could I ever love you....you are equally as culpable as Cathiss if not more so.....you drugged me, tortured me, lied to me! No....there is only a few people in this Worlde I love and you are not one of them Lucion Avarn!"

Goldeneyes came to stand behind Talanis, laying his hands on the younger man's shoulders.

"Its seems you stole nothing Luc.....but lost everything! Come Talanis, let us walk, we have much to discuss." He said lightly caressing his Talanis' neck.

Talanis and Goldeneyes walked out of the house and back down towards the beach, Talanis has only ever seen it from the wall of the House and Goldeneyes had traversed it on landing. It ran round a natural cove and was pitted here and there with caves in the cliffs. The sea lapped gently against the sand, and though the air was chill with winter it seemed to bother neither of them.

"You haven't lost that jealous streak of yours." Talanis said after they had been walking a while.

"Did you go down there to kill him?"

Goldeneyes nodded.

"I did.....the thought of him touching you....hurting you was more than I could stand! He had to pay....needs to pay!"

Talanis stopped and caught Goldeneyes wrist and looked at him.

"He did not touch me....I never let him near me...and as for hurting me....I think I am even on that score.....I wager he hurts more than me now!"

Goldeneyes mused a smile, the first to grace his lips since arriving.

"I wager he does at that.....he did seem a bit annoyed that you kissed me in the cellar!"

The Pyromancer matched the elf's grin with one of his own.

"A kiss that you have yet to return....in fact I can think of a few things that I might like from you...after all you are meant to be my lover are you not?"

Goldeneyes looked about the beach and then spotted something that would suit their needs well enough, he grabbed Talanis about the waist and pulled him towards the entrance to a cave.

"Blaze!" He growled fondly.

"I have all night to return such favours!"

They slipped inside the dark entrance and did not emerge again until sunrise.

If two people could look perfectly content and sated with each other it was Goldeneyes and Talanis as they wandered back into the liberated compound the next day. Allegro watched as they strolled across the courtyard and he grinned to himself.

"About time!"

Thestro looked up from sharpening his blade as the elf made the comment and then towards the pair that headed towards the house likely looking for food to feed their worked up appetites. It seemed that the night they had spent together had healed the wounds and the jealousies for now, but everyone knew what a volatile pair they were and likely something would spark them sooner or later....it was just the way they were.

"Perhaps we can now go home!" The Half Daemon muttered.

Whilst he did not mind going on missions he always had a yearning to return to Kentaru in short measure. He saw the place as his home and did not like being away for long periods of time. Allegro grinned at the comments from his companion and nudged him.

"Homesick Thes?" He teased.

He knew the Half Daemon had a woman there, now they were allowed to consort as they pleased as free men. She was a good looking woman, who seemed not to mind the Daemon's moods and was happy enough to put him in his place if needed.

"I am sure Alandra misses you too!"

Thes' eyes narrowed at the jibe and but he finally gave a grin.

"Likely half the women in Kentaru are missing you Allegro....you have become the new 'Goldeneyes' among the populace from what I hear! Alandra tells me all the market place gossip!"

The elf gave an amused smile but said nothing on the subject.

"Let us hope the King gives the order to pull out soon then, before you become gossip starved!" He purred.

Goldeneyes and Talanis had gone to the kitchens and found themselves some bread, cheese and meat and a jug of apple cider and gone back to what Talanis considered his room. They sat facing each other, crosslegged on the bed and ate to satify the hunger worked up by their lovemaking on the beach.

Every once in a while either one would glance at the other and a brief smile would ensue, but it was Talanis that broke the silence.

"I did not know it could be like that." He said softly.

Goldeneyes gave a wry smile.

"It is like that when you are with someone you love....any one else...it is just a physical act no more. You know my history, what Cathiss did to me, the people I was sold to after each fight...never did I feel that with any of them."

Talanis nodded slowly.

"I understand....but you do know that I cannot be owned Goldeneyes...not by you not by anyone, but I think I might like to spend most of my time with you." He mused.

Goldeneyes grinned.

"It is only right you should want to....after what we just shared in that cave!"

Talanis flushed red a little and that made Goldeneyes love him all the more.

"We will go home soon once the King is satisfied with everything....you will have to decide your role in the new order Blaze....you will need to speak with Iron Claw to see where he feels you can work. After all...you want independence and freedom and not to be owned....I won't be working myself to the bone to support your lavish lifestyle!" The elf teased.

Sita sat in the kitchen, looking a little glum, Sukie sat next to her and placed a cup of tea next to her friend.

"What is it Si?" She asked softly. The woman's demeanour had changed from her time with Old Ma, she had learned to care and feel empathy for others.

"I haven't seen Blaze yet, he is with Goldeneyes and I cannot help it Sukie, I feel jealous. I want to be with him as well, I love him too." She said sadly.

Sukie, patted her shoulder lightly.

"Well maybe you should just go and see him whether he is with Goldeneyes or not.....or maybe ask the King what he thinks. He knows that pair better than most and his counsel is wise more oft than not."

She took a sip of her mint tea.

"Maybe Blaze needs to reconnect with Goldeneyes first, their love runs deep from what I hear which does not mean Blaze feels any less for you, it is a different kind of love that they have to what you and he have."

Sita sighed and reached for her cup.

"It is an odd partnering and I know they are only just finding their feet, Blaze had barely begun to understand his feelings when he was taken and Cathiss forced him to learn the physical act of that much faster than he needed to. What if he is no longer interested in me?"

Sukie gave a wry smile.

"You are worrying about nothing Si.....you'll see.....he will come to you and something wonderful will happen. It would not surprise me if one day you bear his child!"
