The Poisonous arrow (The first encounter)

Riding on her white horse along with her barbarian army, she marched towards the royal depository.

Her long blue black unusual hair all set in a messy bun. She cared less for her appearance, but the messier she looked the more attractive she was.

Her white gown hugging her curves perfectly. Her honey skin shining in the moonlight. Her ocean blue big eyes shined like a star in the middle of the night.

Her blue cloak adding charm to her personalty. If she was not a warrior she would have been a Goddess.

As soon as the army reached the royal depository, it was quiet strange for them as they thought the time stopped and only they are moving.

Aella sternly ordered Alga, "There must not be left even a single grain for anyone. My people suffered enough, take everything along with them. You have to do it faster. I can only freeze time for 30 minutes. Remember ! you must not stop for me and take the group safely to the barbarian's valley."

It is your responsibility to make them believe that they were just lucky as knights were asleep. Create your illusion so they must not notice any magic.

Time flew faster. The depository that held the grains enough to feed the whole Menoran for two years, was now in the possession of barbarians.

She felt someone staring her back but ignored it as she could not focus on anything but freezing the time against knights.

She was getting pale. They all left and Aella was behind them feeling very weak. Her human body could not bare such powers for so long.

She felt like her limbs would rip apart but she stopped. As she smirked at the words of unknown man. "Who are you ? You are not our chief."

Aella replied him in her usual cold voice, "I knew it general. To get her position you killed her. I just wanted you to confront me and you were stupid enough to do it. Why do you think, I am still behind the group ? Its to end your filthy existence. You betrayed her. You must be punished for it."

General panicked but laughed like a maniac, "You think you can escape ? I wanted the power at last, I gathered the courage to kill her. I did kill her. I still remember the blood oozing from her head. She begged for water. She took her last breathe in front of me. I was happy that she died, but you came in the way. I know you are not a normal human. Don't worry I will kill you thousands of time. No matter how many times you survive and come back."

Aella turned furious, she clenched her hands on her silver axe. In a second, she beheaded him. Blood on her face, she smirked in victory "you were annoying me a lot. You deserved it pathetic human."

She was losing her consciousness due to the spell of Dark highness, when she heard the hustle of knights from far. She could hardly move when a poisonous arrow struck her back.

She screamed in pain, before she could fall on ground. Someone held her in his arms. Her messy bun loosened, hair falling on her face. She heard a honey voice whispering, "Keep your eyes open. I won't let anything happen to you."

He jumped over the horse. Wrapping her arms around his waist. Her face in the crook of his neck. She was heavily breathing due to the pain but somehow, she strangely felt relaxed in his embrace.

Soldiers were after them, he easily outsmarted them and took her away under the shelter of a large tree.

It was his hideout. The snowfall made it harder for Aella, she was in a vulnerable state for the first time in centuries. The spell drained most of her energy. Her human body could not bear the pain of that arrow. As she growled in pain breathing heavily clenching her hands on her axe.

Arron came closer to her with a lamp. She looked into his worried eyes. She forgot the pain wondering, How can someone have such amazing pitch black eyes ?

She felt anxious when he turned her around and said, "I must treat your wound Aella. The poison is deadly. It will hurt you when I remove the arrow. Please bear it."

Her breathe hitched when he tore her cloak and white gown that turned red with her blood. He took a long breathe when in a split second, he removed the poisonous arrow that was 3 inches inside her body.

She screamed her lungs out, her blue eyes turned blood red due to pain but she did not even had a single tear drop in them. It was because she did not knew, how to cry ? He treated her wound and covered her with his cloak.

She was shivering in that cold weather when he held her closer, dragging her in his lap. His magnificent eyes shed tear for her in worry.

It seemed like he could feel her pain in that moment, caressing her soft cheek, staring into her eyes. He wrapped his other arm carefully around her. He said, "You are not alone. I am by your side. I am sorry I was late, but I promise this is the last time it happened. Please do not hate me Aella."

She was too tired to utter anything, admiring his features, she felt loud thumping in her left side of chest, unaware to the new sensations.

She could think less at that time when her eyes landed on his lips. She just thought of her desire and nothing more. She could not hear him anymore. Her eyes stuck on his beautiful cherry lips which he had the habit to bite.

Without thinking anything she touched his lips with her's. Arron widened his eyes in shock. He could not process her action, but couldn't even resist it and responded it with the same passion.

Aella widened her eyes when she realized her embarrassing action. She couldn't think of anything and in panic, she knocked him down with the handle of her axe and ran away leaving him there alone unconscious.

"What are you looking at my lord ?" The Sorceress asked him. The king in a shocked state couldn't remove his eyes from the Golden Orb and said, "Aella grew up and I didn't even realize."

Indeed, she didn't even realized this is what the destiny held for her and she cannot resist it...
