GYEO-WOOL VISITED BELETH
While Beleth ate and drank in the wide, expansive garden grounds outside his bungalow,he thought that he was alone. He is proved wrong when he sensed something invisible prying around. He sensed a gumiho named Gyeo-wool lurking around.
“Gyeo-wool, I know you're there. Show yourself.” A young-looking lady, who wore a plain t-shirt and cargo shorts and sneakers became visible.
A cold and chilly atmosphere filled the entire garden, and snow started to fall gently.
"Lucky for me that these plants are magically enhanced and cold-proofed, or else they would have melted when you are around, my dear.” Beleth said softly, gently caressing the gumiho's cute face, while caressing her bright icy blue hair.
“What do you care about more, your plants, or me? This is the only time I've managed to sneak my way into your bungalow uncaught again. You know Lilith’s temper.”
Gyeo-wool whined.
“You, of course, my dear. These plants are easy to replace.”
Beleth soothed Gyeo-wool.
“Since when were you here, Gyeo-wool? And how did you manage to get past the state of the art security gadgets I installed all over the bungalow, and my security guards?”
“ Easy. I just turned into a mimic of Luciano, and your inept guards let me in without knowing that I was a fake Luciano. Even your state of the art security gadgets are easy to fool. I just mimicked your voice to get access to your entire bungalow from top to bottom. I logged into your computer earlier. I watched the livestream of your fight with Alastair, and I overheard what you talked about with Alastair and Luciano afterward.”
Gyeo-wool winked at Beleth, then she sat across Beleth.
"I see you greatly improved the invisibility skill using my methods.”
Beleth’s remark made Gyeo-wool smile.
She held Beleth’s hand, and let Beleth kiss her hand tenderly.
Gyeo-wool showed Beleth her warm smile.
“It's a miracle to see a cold lady like you show a warm smile, Gyeo-wool.”
Beleth knew that Gyeo-wool is a cold, icy lady who made her opponents and allies tremble and feel cold and isolated the moment she is around.
It's a miracle he made her ice-cold heart melt, and Gyeo-wool felt comfortable and at home when Beleth was around.
She is the total opposite of Lilith, who has a hot and explosive personality.
"It's also a miracle that I feel safe around you, Beleth the sly schemer.”
Gyeo-wool grinned, and gazed at Beleth lovingly.
“Are you hungry, thirsty, or perhaps, exhausted, my dear Gyeo-wool? I'll send Luciano to prepare you a room in my bungalow, and attend to your needs.”
“Please do, my dear.”
Luciano reappeared at the garden, bringing Gyeo-wool's food and drinks with him.
“Hello, Gyeo-wool. Long time no see.”
"Oh hi, Luciano. Long time no see, old friend.”
“Here's the usual food and drinks that you crave for, Gyeo-wool.”
Luciano gently placed the food and drinks on the table.
As Luciano turned to leave, he heard Gyeo-wool say to him while Beleth looked on.
“Luciano, wait.”
“What is it, Gyeo-wool?”
“Can we hang out again, just like in the old times? We got a lot of catching up to do. You know | don't stay for long in this bungalow.”
“Sure, let's hang out later, Gyeo-wool. If you must excuse me, I still have a lot of things to attend to.”
Luciano then turned to leave, and exited from the garden.
When Luciano is finally out of earshot, Gyeo-wool felt so hungry that she started eating her meal.
" That's the stewed beef with vegetables that I had Luciano and Emilia prepare at the kitchen earlier.”
Beleth said in surprise.
"Yes, it is. Can I have it, Beleth, please? I'm not weak to fire. You know I have to deal with Lilith's fiery temper and eating her fiery food laced with chili and spices everyday,”
Gyeo-wool said to Beleth with pleading eyes.
“Sure, Gyeo-wool. You can have it. Let me feed you.”
Beleth moved his chair closer to Gyeo-wool, and started feeding her.
After Gyeo-wool finished eating, they disappeared from the expansive garden, then reappeared at Beleth’s guest quarters, with Beleth carrying the gumiho bridal
style.
Then Beleth lets Gyeo-wool sit on his lap while Beleth is seated in his cozy sofa chair.
Gyeo-wool decided to lie down on Beleth’s lap instead.
“So what brings you here my dear Gyeo-wool? I believe you didn't come here to just simply see me.”
Beleth went straight to the topic.
“You guessed it right my dear. But I'm sorry, I can't disclose the details for now. You'll know soon, when the time is right. You know we belong to opposite factions. There could be spies listening in on our conversation, for all we know. I'm just looking out for our best interest. Thanks for your generosity, as always. I love you,Beleth."
"Love you too, Gyeo-wool.”
Beleth said while gently stroking the attractive gumiho’s icy bright blue hair.
Then Gyeo-wool drifted off to sleep in Beleth’s lap.
With the gumiho fast asleep on his lap, memories of how they met came flooding back to Beleth. It was in the middle of the war between Orochi and Morrigan, when Morrigan was slowly being pushed out of Orochi's home territory Beleth sensed an imminent counter-attack from Orochi and his allies were bound to come during that time. He and his forces were on high alert, and placed in a defensive position. Beleth could sense that his soldiers were on edge the night before a sudden raid on his forces happened. To alleviate the tension and boost the morale of his soldiers, Beleth held a feast to get his soldiers in the mood for fighting.
Unbeknownst to Beleth, a blue-haired gumiho had infiltrated their ranks, and even got to know Beleth on a personal level on the night of the attack. The blue-haired gumiho was Gyeo-wool. The soldiers of Beleth were all captivated by Gyeo-wool's beauty, cold, soothing voice, and youthful face, but in the end, Gyeo-wool chose to sit beside Beleth.
The feast continued into the night, and drinks poured.
Unbeknownst to Beleth’s soldiers, they were being led into a surprise raid by Lilith, with Gyeo-wool as the bait.
Gyeo-wool and Beleth, under the influence of alcohol, found themselves confiding in each other unexpectedly, while everyone else was busy with the feast. While everyone was drunk, the sounds of brief fighting could be heard outside the gates of Beleth’s fortress, but since the guards posted outside were also the influenced by alcohol, the soldiers of Lilith easily overcame them, and overran the camp without much resistance.
Gyeo-wool was nowhere to be found, and when Beleth woke up, still groggy from the alcohol, he found himself tied to a chair fixed to the ground in a seated
position inside a tent. There were guards posted outside the tent. Before he could plot his escape, he felt a powerful cold presence in the area.
Gyeo-wool froze the guards outside. She broke the chains that bound him to the chair.
"Why are you helping me? We're supposed to be enemies, Gyeo-wool.”
“Hush now, Beleth. I spiked the coffee those guards drank with a powerful sleeping potion in advance, in case my freezing spell reaches its time limit. I also tampered with their memories, so they'll end up pointing fingers at each other when they wake up. "
” What if you get caught? ”
" Don't worry about me, Beleth. I can handle Lilith better than anyone in Lilith’s camp. Now, let's go. Grab my hand. Someone might see us. ”
He grabbed Gyeo-wool's hand. Gyeo-wool transformed into a half-human, half-fox gumiho, and in an instant, they became invisible. They ran past siege tents belonging to NPCs created by Lilith, until Gyeo-wool finally escorted Beleth to safety back to the fortress of his allies.
” I don't know how I can repay you for this, Gyeo-wool. Thank you. You're always welcome to my bungalow, and virtual fortress once I retake the virtual fortress, anytime.”
After Gyeo-wool shape shifted back to her human form, the two shared a deep, passionate kiss, then Beleth bid Gyeo-wool good bye, as Gyeo-wool returned to
Lilith’s camp, to throw Lilith off the trail of Beleth.
