“I missed you...” she cried. “I really missed you...”

Before she could add another word, he suddenly kissed her, taking all of her in. It was a desperate, savage kiss that they both needed. She felt the warmth spread inside like a wildfire, driving her crazy. All of her being was invaded by this hurricane of desire. They had been apart for too long. If this was another treacherous dream, it was the most realistic one he’d had so far, and he was not ready to let it go.

He wanted her, to carve his being into her, to touch and taste her body. They kissed desperately, so eager their lips couldn’t bear to part for a second. They just wanted each other, their other halves. It was a reaction that nothing else could provoke but a wild, carnal desire. Something as old as time itself, buried in their flesh.

His hands were wandering all over her, touching and grabbing every inch of Cassandra’s skin as if to keep her there, to make every second of it reality. Kairen couldn’t understand, but he wanted this. He was like a mad man begging for a dream to last forever. He couldn’t stop. Cassandra was just as eager as him. His warmth - that warmth that came from his core was driving her insane. She felt sensations she hadn’t felt in a very long time. When he put his hands on her legs, under her skirt, she shivered with desire. Her hands were all over him, caressing his torso, his neck, his back, all of his hot skin. She wanted him.

They didn’t have time for anything else, their desire was burning like a hot flame and erasing all restraint. He took off his pants in a matter of seconds and ripped the piece of clothing that was separating them, and after some other clumsy moves, their bodies reunited in one movement.

Cassandra cried out under the brutal invasion. She felt him filling her, completing her in a wave of pleasure. She bit her lower lip, but it only made him want to kiss those lips more. They exchanged a long, gentle kiss. Kairen wanted to lose himself in the taste of her lips. It was gentle, yet a bit savage. They just couldn’t express their love and desire enough. He started moving, making her breathe louder. They had their eyes locked on each other, completely lost in the moment, as if they were alone in the world. His movements made her moan and cry for more. The sensations waking up in her were stronger than she had remembered, and he wasn’t slowing down to let her catch up.

The War God just couldn’t get enough of her. He kept pounding, not stopping, not slowing down. He just wanted all of her. He had craved that skin, that gentle taste, the sound of her voice in his ear, echoing in the room. He needed to make sure she was real, that she was really there with him. He had his arms wrapped around her, keeping her close. Grabbing every inch of her skin that he could, feeling her, confirming this was real. Kairen was so desperate as he kept moving inside her, almost crying at how good it was to have her there. Cassandra kissed his eyes, his tears, repeatedly running her fingers through his hair. Their bodies moving together so perfectly was causing things to burn up, fast and hard. They just needed this, this beastly passion between them. They couldn’t hold it in anymore. After just a few minutes, he thrusted with a few wild movements, making her jump and cry out for him. Cassandra couldn’t restrain her voice, the pleasure was breaking down walls and making her lose control. All her extremities were burning, sweating from the intensity. She cried out in pleasure when he finished inside her, exhausted.

They were both left panting in the same position they had started in. It had probably been their wildest and shortest love-making ever. She chuckled, still trembling a bit from the pleasure, and came to kiss him gently. He willingly responded to everything her lips desired, caressing her skin restlessly. The previously cold room had gotten very hot in a very short time, their heat melting them together.

As he kept caressing her skin, he finally figured out what had been bothering him from earlier. Cassandra’s skin was perfectly white and smooth, not an ounce of imperfection, not even the tiniest scar. He frowned, confused by this new revelation, and raised his eyes towards her once again.

“How?” he whispered, caressing her hair without stopping.

Cassandra smiled gently.

“The Water God,” she simply said. “I guess he wanted to save his last daughter... before he passed on.”

Kairen let out a long sigh, and buried his face in her neck, closing his eyes and breathing deeply. Whoever he had to thank for this miracle, he was grateful to no end. He didn’t care to know how or why. He could only imagine why the Creature had decided to take Cassandra away from him, from their world. But eventually, he sent her back again... That was all he needed to know.

Cassandra felt a bit sad. She still didn’t know why the Water God had decided to trade its life for hers... No one could tell what such a magnificent Creature was thinking at a time like that. She took a deep breath and kissed her man again. She changed positions to get off and lie against him. Kairen was unwilling to let go and tightly wrapped her in his arms. She liked being trapped in his embrace.

“It’s good to be alive,” she whispered. “I’m glad Kassian is fine... Did you decide to raise him here alone?”

He nodded. Cassandra smiled. She would have all the time in the world to catch up with what she had missed... With her sister too. She hoped Missandra was happy. Lady Kareen and Shareen, too. She wondered what they were up to now. Who had taken the Golden Throne? Opheus or Anour? Kairen obviously had no intention of sitting there... For now, she was just happy to be away from all those questions. It was like they were hiding in a private little corner of the world. She chuckled.

“What is it?”

“I think... I’ll get to live my dream after all.”

The memory of a conversation they had many months ago slowly came back to him. He nodded.

“We’ll do it all. Everything you wanted... Change it all.”

“What about you?” she asked gently. “You never told me what dream you had in mind.”

The War God smiled.

“It’s fine. Mine has already come true anyway.”

Cassandra was about to ask what it was, but she decided it didn’t really matter. This happiness was enough. She was in a good place right now, a place where she was safe and happy... Where she could be free.

In the Onyx Castle, lost in the forgotten lands, the two of them fell asleep, side by side.

The silent War God, and the slave girl who had changed his world.He was born to kill. She was destined to die. As two worlds collided, destiny had changed.

Epilogue

The Last Day of the White Moon Festival.

The streets of the Capital were crowded with people from all over the country, as they all gathered to the festival to celebrate. For the Dragon Empire, the White Moon Festival was one of the biggest celebrations of the year, the one that was held to take their freedom and happiness to the streets. Every citizen in the Country waited for that day to throw off their status, and have fun among the common citizen. Those who weren’t as carefree found tactics to pretend to be, just for a day.

Warriors without their shiny armors, Officials walking like common folks in the streets, women showing off their beauty and even children of any household running down the streets laughing. If one had any trouble, they were to forget it that night, for freedom was everything in the Dragon Empire.
