Chapter 4 - Between Two Warriors

Love Between Warriors Meet

Chrestian was taken over by his other nature, his hands removed the stolla and palla with ease. She had been barefoot and her silver hair down in glory. Asuna had no clue how he came to be kissing her, but it was transcendental. The beatific man now blinked them into warm water under the night sky, filled with thousands of stars. Chrestian's hands could not still,  he gently squeezed radiant flesh, anywhere his palms and fingers could touch. Asuna was unsure of it all but his lips sought hers, she truly felt their duel was hallowed and making love.

He growled softly and slid up her body,  softly butted his nose against the empusae woman; as well as began lightly brushing his lips against hers. Asuna reached up and held the sides of his head to receive his divine offerings of tongue and sweet lips. He obviously had quite a bit of experience bringing an onna to her knees with his lips alone. The reborn Ekimmu Queen began moaning into his mouth as his pliant flesh worked against hers in an erotic coupling. He nibbled her lower lip and delved his tongue into the sweltering, sweet mouth and stroked his tongue with hers, into a fevered pitch. Chrestian   made beautiful sounds of need as the passions ignited conflagration, he staggered with her to the lakeside, still burning.

He shut his very magnificent eyes and shifted his hips against hers. Celestial heat and a radiant aura developed between man and onna, from two different parts of the world. Asuna was as if in a dream. Opening herself and the former Viking guided them to be one. He shook within as did she, and he released a deep  soulful moan that caused more powerful spasms between them.

Chrestian did not thrust but they moved as one entity, he felt exquisite as he pushed in as deep as he could. His partner gripped him, he filled her gloriously as the passions were wild.  He gasped and pushed the empusae's hips against his as both felt an explosion of their souls, their powers ebbing and flowing, and rapturous joy that shook them both. Asuna had no clue how long they had reached Nirvana for, but the yoki had been staggering. Chrestian was catching his breath; his heartbeat was so fast, while he kept them joined. Her mind was blank and bloody saline fell from her eyes. The Ramanga freré was a tad upset at her reactions to what he considered a holy act. He had never thought he would possibly experience this mythical form of love.

*********MEMORIES********

Ayille stiffened and a grin spread on her face. She began running quickly and she suddenly burst through a small grove of trees. Ayille flattened Chrestian to the ground and her frère snarled trying to fight her.

"You have been so hard to find my Chrestian! Did you think you would leave me forever?" She asked smirking with cold malice.

"Let me go Ayille." Chrestian breathed in deeply.

"Oh no! You thought to have enough will to escape me and you in turn turned Kerr on me. You saw what happened to him." She said laughing.

Chrestian's green eyes were narrowed and Ayille wasted no time in biting him. He screamed which was unlike him but his maker was being especially cruel. His blood was boiling and he withered under the intense pain.

"You would choose her over your maker? I gave you immortality!" She snarled.

"You destroyed me!" Chrestian whined in his Ramanga voice.

"I remade you. You were human and you were dying. I only gave you what you asked for my sweet boy." She said as saliva dripped from her mouth.

"I did not know you were the devil's bride!" He said fighting her terribly.

"No matter. You betrayed me for the last time. You will bid your new queen goodbye though." She said grinning.

Chrestian's body twisted painfully as just her will alone ripped him apart. Ayille ported them to Yamasaki General and she was being stupid in her need to make her frère pay. Asuna stumbled out of her bed and Ayille's face was smiling. Chrestian was trying to have dignity but his agony was not stopping.

"You enjoyed the torture? I assure you that I enjoyed ordering it. You think you can win? I am this close Arianrhod and I will rule the world. The mortals will be cows at my feet and the other daemons my slaves!" She said shrilly.

"Let him go!" She rasped painfully.

"Fine!" She said throwing her head back and she suddenly changed form.

She could not move fast enough and Ayille ripped Chrestian's throat out. She ate the gore and turned her unholy eyes to Asuna.

"You do not take from me whore. I take from you." She laughed and she ported out.

Asuna fell next to Chrestian who should have been dead but he was gasping out. Asuna screamed and she cut herself all over.

"Chrestian please! Please do not die." She screamed.

The former mortal lifted his hand and grasped her hand in his. His pale green eyes held pain and she knew what he wished. She was screaming in anger and fury as she let her dagger appear and his eyes begged her. Asuna plunged the blade into his chest and his sigh was one of peace. She wept bitterly over his expired form; he had been one of the most powerful Ramanga she had known but when faced with his maker, he had stood no chance.

****MEMORIES OF MORALITY****

Efnisien was in the caverns of Hakurei-zan and his leg swung to and fro. Asuna stared up and she smiled a little. He immediately phased down and pulled her into his arms.

"He told me to stay here and guard him. How odd is that? I should have loved to have caused him pain." He said softly.

"I know. Is he awake? I need him to pull someone else back and I need you to be their guide." Asuna said meeting his eyes.

"He is not awake but I can do so. Tell me who and I will guide the soul. It is what I do." Efnisien smiled.

"How often did he do this?" She asked.

"Occasionally but the death toll has been horrendous since we were killed or shut away. There has been massacre after massacre but bringing someone back is not to be taken lightly. It should not be done on a whim but Arawn knows this. So you let us worry on this person and you go back to claim this frère that is tearing you up." He whispered in her ear.

"What do you suggest?" Asuna asked trembling.

"I suggest going back to face Ayille then. Go back and face her when she turns him. Before he would wake up into a Ramanga then you take him." Efnisien said annunciating.

"Is there a time where a frère is vulnerable?" She asked stunned.

"Oh yes. When drained of blood whoever gets there first." He said kissing her nose.

"Which side did you wake up on?" She teased.

"Yours today. There. Go now before he wakes up and gets pissed off. Norway is wild place." He cautioned.

Asuna nodded as he lifted his hand and a portal appeared. She had on armor and such as she walked through. It was cold and it was wild here she noticed. She also noticed how similar it was to Hokkaido. Now she surveyed the land and she heard a dialect of an old Germanic language. She was surprised to realize that she knew it. She cocked a brow and knew damn well that it came from her previous existence. She heard ningen males being men and she smirked when she realized they were taking cold baths. They were saying crude things and she moved with stealth to spy. Chrestian was there and by the Kamis he was naked. She had to hold her breath as his body was lean and pale as etched muscles flexed. His blonde hair was past his shoulders and he had a ghost of a beard. He was chuckling with his fellow mortals and her foot broke a branch.

"Who is there?" Another warrior yelled.

"Probably a woman in need of warmth." The third one jibed.

"Shush!" Chrestian snapped as he strained to listen.

He heard nothing else but he felt a presence and it unsettled him. He was a warrior and used to ambushes. Asuna felt another aura too and she knew these woods were filled with blood drinkers. What she did not expect was to be attacked by a white ookami. She was thrown into water and she yelped as she came up amongst quite naked men and she stared at the ookami youkai and growled too. She actually barked and the beast began growling harder. Its genitalia marked it as male and she was probably in his hunting grounds.

"Thank you heavens!" One man said staring at the sky.

Asuna realized the situation and she blushed madly. She stalked with as much dignity as she could muster; silks and hair sopping wet and cold as hell. She growled at the ookami and it snarled in return.

"Woman!" Chrestian yelled covering himself with some fur.

Asuna stiffened and she turned and only stared at his face.

"Were you spying on us?" He asked almost amused.

"No." She replied in the Germanic tongue.

"That wolf looks ready to eat you." He said smiling.

"He is fixing to be a dead wolf if he does not back off!" Asuna snarled at the ookami.

"Felix! Go on. She is no harm." Chrestian called.

She whirled and stared at him in shock.

"You know what he is?" She asked totally shocked.

"Well ja. Why not? He is a daemon. He watches our backs and we watch his." He shrugged.

Asuna suddenly barked at the ookami who in turn, turned humanoid. His hair was white and his eyes grey. He looked outraged at her words and she crouched ready for an attack.

"Your mouth is horrid!" Felix said in a heavy accent.

"Well you are a bastard." She retorted.

"You are dog bitch! Why are you this far north, ja?" He demanded.

"She is a daemon too?" Chrestian asked shocked too.

"Ja. Powerful one too. She told me my balls are not big enough." He growled.

"Seen bigger." She retorted.

Felix went to hit her and Chrestian stepped between them. He shook his head no and asked the wolf to go patrol. He nodded and changed back into wolf form and Asuna watched and made a face. All four ningen warriors laughed and she tried to not stare at Chrestian.

"Were you spying?" He asked amused.

"Yes but not for what you may think. I have no interest in humans." She said flatly.

"Well!" Another said huffily.

"Too soft." She retorted.

"Oh really?" The first warrior said snorting.

They were all blonde but it was Chrestian who had her attention. He shook his head amused and shrugged. She left quickly and she masked herself. She went back to his village and she witnessed him and she ached suddenly. This man was innocent of anything except for being a handsome and beautifully built creature. She spied him take his wife and it was perfect. She was recovered from her brutal attack. She settled high up in a tree and she closed her eyes and saw Chrestian's ass flexing as he moved his hips. She was breathing hard and realized when she woke up that she had an erotic dream over him.

She followed him for days and she carefully avoided the other blood drinkers. They were numerous and they seemed to avoid the humans for the most part but she was picking up on a war that Chrestian's tribe had with another human tribe. Asuna watched him so carefully and his son's name was Hulsgard and his daughter's name was Dadra. His wife's name was Elledair and a pretty brunette. His son had blue eyes of his wife and his daughter looked like him. She had stolen away and realized how much she hated Ayille for stealing all this from him. She sobbed into her arm and she did not know she felt a Ramanga. She looked up to see the Kumori creature and she lashed out. It took flight and swooped down to bite into her. Asuna was in a rage and she recognized Kameron.

"You bastard! Cannot fight me as your humanoid self, you stinking frère?" She asked slashing at him with claws.

"You know of me." Kameron laughed in his evil voice.

"Oh hai I do." Asuna said letting Konkisaiga appear.

Kameron had no clue what she was but she had looked tasty. His clawed hand met her fang and she cut deeply and released a nami. The Ramanga screamed in pain as his hand was blown away. He would heal soon enough but she was in it for end game. Kameron stood his full height as his bat form allowed and used his arm to knock her into a tree. A branch pierced her middle and they both heard shouts.

"You will be dead and sorry.

"I am sorry. I failed you. I failed." She muttered in Japanese.

"What are you saying frau? Who are you?" Chrestian asked pressing some cloth to her wound.

"Asuna. I am Asuna and you are Chrestian." She whispered.

"Ja." He nodded.

She could not think and the look in his eyes when he had asked her to finish him off was making her want to die. Asuna also knew she did not want to turn him into her frère. She remembered and she wanted him to come to her on his own. She kissed him and he was stunned immobile. She did not allow herself to be daunted and she sought his tongue and he moaned softly as her slick organ stroked and tangled against his. He made a deeply masculine sound as the daemoness explored him slowly. His mind came back into reality as he suddenly jerked back.

"I tease Asuna but I am married. I know daemons are different but I am only mortal. Please remember too soft." He tried to create brevity.

She suddenly had him flat on the cold ground and she stared intensely at his eyes. He was shocked to see them green and he stared at an empusae. He was suddenly terrified and she held him down with will alone.

"Please. I know of your kind. Please, I do not wish to die." He said with a strong voice.

"I am not here to hurt you." Asuna said staring down at him.

"Then what?" Chrestian asked worried.

She slid her claw down his tunic and his flat chest and stomach became revealed. Asuna kissed his mouth softly and he gasped as she slid her tongue slowly down his cleft chin to his neck. She did not bite him at all and his green eyes were wide with terror and quickly filled with lust. She began a soft growl that reached his ears and she sucked a dusky mauve flat nub into her mouth.

"Aaagggh!" He cried out as she sucked harshly.

Asuna felt his searingly hot skin and she palmed his other pectoral and began to tweak his nipple. He was clenching his teeth against the pleasure and he knew they killed this way. He thought they just bit their victims; threw them into bliss and drained them dry but this one was making him groan and scream out with her sharp nips and use of tongue. She sat back and she pulled his dark boots off and then loosened his tan wool trousers.

"Please I beg you. I know you must be thirsting but please, I have no wish to die. I have a wife and two small children. I serve my people. I would die in battle but not like this. Please this is not a warrior's death." He said gritting his teeth.

"I told you that I am not going to harm you." She whispered in a husky voice.

Chrestian was in a panic but he swallowed back a moan as she continued to rapidly suck and nip at ALL his available flesh.

"Oh Valhalla. Oh Gods." Chrestian cried out.

"Kami Chrestian." Asuna gasped as she then slid her tongue down his belly.

Chrestian's eyes widened and he gasped.

"Gods if this is death. Oh ja! Ja!" He screamed out loudly as the end rocked him to his core.

Chrestian was in a daze as he realized he was still alive. Asuna was staring at him and he stared at her.

"Go." She said turning away from him.

"You did not bite me." He said stupidly.

"Yes. Please go. Your wife will wonder at your absence." She said wiping her mouth.

"Why did you spare me?" Chrestian asked as a blush reached his cheeks.

"Because I am no monster and I am like you; a warrior. I have seen you take your wife. Delicious." She said rising.

"You watch me in private moments?" He asked shocked and mortified.

"I am not mortal. You said so yourself." She said walking away.

Asuna was up and away and he was still debauched and given pleasure by a daemon. Very few people survived such encounters and he was thankful to be alive. Chrestian stared up at the heavens and thanked Odin.

Chrestian became used to the succubus who followed him. She only touched him a couple of times and he was shaken powerfully by those moments. One day he came into the forest on his horse and he found her in a tree up high and she was sleeping. She looked sweet at times but he had seen her true form of a large silver dog. She had stared at him knowingly and he was terrified and in adoration at the same moment. He never told Elledair that he was wanted by a daemon. She would have freaked out. Asuna knew he was there and she slowly opened her eyes. She looked down and she had not had a physical encounter in over a month according to her timeline. She was craving it badly and she craved him. Asuna jumped down and landed gracefully. She stared at him and he was only watching her. Chrestian took that moment to slide off of his horse.

"Why do you haunt me?" He asked.

"I have to." Asuna replied.

"I do not understand." Chrestian stated shaking his head.

"I hunger Viking. I need to go." She said walking past him.

"Hunger for what? Certainly not blood." He said and then looked down.

"I hunger to feel your body against mine as you impale me over and over. I hunger to run my hands down your back and squeeze this flesh. Now I must go." She said flatly.

"So it is true? You empusae crave the very act?" He asked.

"Hai." She said in Japanese.

"I should let you pass." Chrestian stated not moving.

His face neared hers and his little bit of blonde beard brushed her cheek. She stared ahead and he was studying her face.

"I am an intelligent man. I know something is remiss and for some reason you feel beholden to something concerning me. What is wrong?" He asked in a heavy voice.

"Chrestian do not. You do not deserve anything bad to happen. Go home to your beautiful wife and family." Asuna suddenly wept.

"I am trying to understand. You have touched me but not to hurt me." He said nuzzling her ear.

Her breath caught and she shut her eyes. She lifted his hand and laced her fingers in his. The Viking was shocked to realize that the daemoness was hot to touch and just as soft as his wife.

"You are truly beautiful. Like Freyja." He said brushing his nose against her pointed ear.

"Go away!" She shouted out and shoved him off.

Chrestian was confused and his eyes betrayed his thoughts. Her eyes were a swirling mix of green and blue. Her body was unmoving and she did move as she pressed her body and forehead to his.

"Everything wrong and sin has been committed and I cannot stop it. I am a wretch and hate fills my veins. She had me raped and I lost again to her." Asuna whispered brokenly.

"Who did this evil thing?" Chrestian asked.

"My enemy. I only watch to protect you and those around you. I should not touch you as I am nothing but taint for your mortal soul. I am sorry. I should not have even kissed you. I saw you touch your wife and I should not have. I know what a good man you are." She said hurriedly.

"I am more confused." He admitted breathing harder.

"I am not helping." She said touching her lips to his.

Chrestian only breathed against those lips and the insanity he felt overcome him was deep. He strained but it took his all.

"Why have you spared me?" Chrestian whispered.

"Because I try to have morals." The woman answered.

Chrestian could not understand why his were suddenly gone the way of the winds but he was the one who kissed her. His tongue mated the empusae's and it was his hands that threaded in her hair as his lips kissed and nibbled softly. He continued the slow and mind numbing caress that made her literally weak in the knees. Asuna was held up by him and Chrestian pulled back.

"Cold. I know you do not feel it like I do but a fire would be good. Come please." He said stepping back and she looked stupid.

"Hai." She whispered.

Chrestian's mind was whirling in a wild mess of feeling and desire. There were sheltered caves nearby and he intended to start a roaring blaze to thaw his head and maybe provide clarity. He pulled her up on his horse behind him and he nudged the beast with his heels. His great grey stallion took off and he guided them towards the shelter of the caverns. Soon enough they reached the place and he pulled his horse into the shelter of the rock and darkness and he set about making a roaring fire. Asuna watched the mundane thing with fascination and soon the large cavern was filled with warmth and radiance of a blaze. He sat on the other side and he unlaced his boots.

"What are your thoughts?" He asked.

"Not many." Asuna replied.

"I am awash in so many different thoughts myself. I ought not to be doing this, ja? You have touched me and have asked for nothing. You have not taken anything from me." He stated watching her face.

"I am no pious creature Chrestian." She said lifting her chin.

"So why watch over me? I am a warrior." He said lifting his own chin.

"Not against monsters that I know. Not against the cruelty I have seen. No, you have no idea what is truly out there." She said looking down.

Chrestian crawled over to her and she was startled for him to be in her space again.

"Then why me?" He demanded.

"Stop." Asuna said growling.

"Will you hurt me now?" Chrestian asked.

"No." She nodded.

"What does the empusae bite feel like?" He asked suddenly.

"It can be pure euphoria. Most employ euphoria simply because it is easier. We can cause pain in our bite but not typically." She said watching his eyes.

"No way to know." He said staring up.

"Go to your side of the fire." Asuna commanded.

He sighed and he moved back. She concentrated on his face and her eyes slowly bled green. His brows knitted together and he felt the blood rush to his groin. He slowly sucked in a deep breath as she saw a bead of sweat come down his cheek to his chin.

"Feel it?" She asked.

"Ja." He nodded slowly.

His breath suspended as he twitched and his face held panic.

"Trust me." She whispered.

He nodded and then his head fell back as the illusion affected his mind. The moan startled her but also sent a massive jolt of desire to her own groin. Chrestian felt the pressure increased and he groaned as the pleasure slowly began to spread. He was leaning back on his arms and his legs fell open. He was still fully clothed save his boots and he shifted his hips. His gasp broke the tense silence as something perfect occurred and he moaned out as it happened again.

"Ja? Please! Do it again. Please." He whimpered.

His face was contorting and she was shocked how beautiful he was. She made a motion with her fingers and he suddenly arched and almost fell as the pleasure spiked to epic proportions. The young Viking warrior was seeing stars behind his eyelids and he panted out as the pressure and prodding became like thrusts. Suddenly it was way too hot and his clothes felt like a prison. He moaned out more and more as she caused the feelings inside of him.

"Too hot. I need clothes gone. Too hot!" He cried out.

Asuna kept up the mental barrage and she moved to only help him out of belt, tunic, and leggings. His blonde hair fell free about his shoulders and she forced herself to move over to the other side of the fire. He was naked now and it made her drool badly. No muscle he had was overly defined. They were etched and fluid perfection that was more defined when he would move. He lay back fully and he stared at her with fevered eyes. Asuna was held captive by his pale green. His broken German and his moans made her squirm badly and she felt a stab of lust in her core. She felt a fluid gush some as her body became so wound up.

"Say my name." Asuna begged.

"Asuna. Ja! Asuna! You need me too? I need you. My body screams for yours." He said in such a husky tone.

"No. Harder Chrestian. Imagine my riding your body as you ride your stallion. Harder. Come hard for me my sweet. Harder. Hai! Scream my name!" She said not knowing what the hell came over her.

Her words drove him over the edge and a sharp prod had him coming so intensely that he was certain he had lost his life. This was heaven and she was a goddess. He did shout her name. Chrestian breathed hard as one hand rested on her silver head. She was growling and moaning.

"I am sorry." She whispered laying her head on his stomach.

"Sorry for what? You never touched me." Chrestian said staring at the rocks over head.

"Okay." Asuna mumbled.

"Okay." He said sleepily.

They both fell asleep that way and it was tender and beautiful. The fire roared beside them as they both slept deeply after the utterly erotic display of empusae power.

Chrestian woke up to it cold and the fire had died down. She was still lying across him and the previous night had been utterly mind consuming and blowing. She had also not sought anything from him. He blushed at the idea of her tasting him and, he felt guilt at not being home.

"I should let you up I think." Asuna mumbled.

"I enjoy your feel. Please stay." Chrestian murmured.

"I should go so that you can go home." She said forcing herself up.

Chrestian's mind was flying and he pulled her up and their eyes locked. He kissed her again and it was intoxicatingly good. It was like good ale after a long battle and he was soon too lost in his own want. He ripped her hanfu and her eyes flew open. She had intended to stop and he was getting more passionate as he rolled them. Panic crept inside of her but the pale man moved down her torso. His faint beard and lips tickled her skin and she moaned. His tongue invaded belly button and he only knew he wanted to bury his tongue inside of her. She could not breathe and she was trembling.

"Chrestian stop! No please stop." Asuna said in a panicked voice.

"Huh?" The young Viking asked in disbelief.

"No. I have no wish to defile your marriage. Stop." She said frowning.

"I want this. Please!" He cried.

"Chrestian, I am no monster. You feel a spell of my natural powers. You have no love of me and you do not know me. I am not what you need." She said harder.

"So it is okay for you to have my body?" He demanded.

"I have not had your body." Asuna said looking away.

"Semantics." He said stubbornly.

"It has brought me pleasure to bring so to you. I feed of your energies if you wish to know the truth so I get something from it." She said blushing.

"I want to make love to you. I want to feel you. I want to see you scream my name." He said breathing harder.

Chrestian was still naked and he saw her silver down covering her shrouded parts. His hands laced in hers and he stared at her eyes. He was not a begging sort nor was he fool. Right now he was both and his mouth covered hers as he kissed her passionately to try and quell his massive stupidity. Asuna could have fought him but his mouth was so good. She devoured his offerings and her body ached terribly. She had been aching terribly for days. She had taken up relieving her own needs and now presented with her desire; she was attempting to push him away. Asuna felt HIM against her belly and he jerked his mouth back.

"Let me touch you. I want this. I want you so much." He said against rationality.

She could say nothing because the next thing she knew, his face was buried in her womanhood and she cried out softly. Chrestian was hungry for carnality of beautiful proportions and so very soon, he had her moaning non-stop as he thrust tongue, nibbled her clit and touched her thoroughly with gentle touches of his fingertips on the insides of her thighs. He was obliterating her last encounter from her mind and her claws were raking the cavern floor and through her hair.

"Chrestian!" She whined out in a long series of syllables.

The young mortal lifted his head and caught her eyes. Her legs shook a little around his head as moved swiftly to claim her lips as he slipped into her torturous heat. His cry rocked them both and she lifted her hips to meet his rotations. He was pressed against her as he ravished her lips and chin as he softly kissed and whispered words of beauty.

"Certain you are Freyja. I am certain you are my goddess. I am yours. I give myself to you." He rasped.

Tears stung her eyes and he dived deeply and she screamed out in blessedly beautiful agony. He watched her loose her mind as he had found her spot to heaven. Her tight, hot core was making him loose his own mind to blissful euphoria too and he began to shove harder against her treasure. She shook her head violently as it built up way fast and she accidently raked her claws into him. He moaned in pain but it was getting him to his end to see her loose hers. Chrestian kept up the insane pace and her eyes opened as she screamed. Chrestian could not think anything as her body spasmed. He too released a cry that echoed in the cavern as they shook violently together. She slammed her own arm into her mouth and bit viciously as her end ripped through her. She choked on her own blood but it had been so perfect. The young man pulled back and fell to his ripped up back. Neither could say anything as the coupling had left them both numb and without thought processes. Asuna's sobs started not long after.

It became obvious that her Norseman was hers. He still did his duties amongst his village and his family but he had begun to request scouting missions and he would come upon her and their passionate love making left them both weak. What horrified Asuna worse was when her belly began to grow and Chrestian noticed too. He had stared at it with love and passion. He did not say it; she felt it from him. The summer months came upon Scandinavia and her stomach was full. They were near a river in the mountains and his lips were pressed to her belly. He whispered softly in German and her hand went through his blonde hair.

"What is it we have?" He asked softly.

"We have a girl." Asuna whispered.

"A girl. I am happy." Chrestian whispered closing his eyes.

The Norse people were fiercely proud and honorable. She understood them and they had stolen months. She had not felt any Ramanga but the war season was upon the lands and she felt tense. Her Viking love had shaved his beard and she had made a face at him. He had chuckled and they spoke softly and of many, many things. They spoke of war and such but never did she raise a blade to him nor did she bare her fangs to him. She had told him of her being raised as an heiress and what it was like to live for centuries. She told him of loosing those she loved and mistakes she made. Chrestian listened and would speak with quiet intelligence that made her cry more.

This life was perfect and she was left to deal with much in her mind. How in the Kamis she was not found she had no clue and it could have been Efnisien but she looked at this time as healing. The thing of being in the past was that her future was still there and she could be back the same day she left. Chrestian had fallen madly in love with her and he did not think it would have been possible for someone like him. He was from a noble family. He had married well and had two children. This child was a love child and as much as he loved is legitimate children; he longed for this baby. He desired to see her and he wanted to see her born. He never spoke the words of love but he was certain she felt the same. She stayed and she was bearing his child. He could not imagine not having his Asuna in his life and it was with those thoughts that he went back to his village. The night started out like any other night and he did his duties as father, clansman, and husband. His wife served him his meal and he spoke to his children. The battle horns were sounded not long after lanterns had been snuffed.

The wind was soft and his village was being swarmed by another tribe of Norse. He had grabbed his helmet and his long sword. All around him there was carnage and blood. He watched men he had grown up with smashed in by hammers and axes. Chrestian moved with determination as he struck the other men in bellies and necks with his sword. A scream ripped the night air as a battle axe was smoothly put in his back. The tall Viking fell to his knees and blood erupted from his mouth.

Asuna could not move fast enough. She ported in and she slashed at the mortals with hatred. She used her telekinesis and threw two against the other impaling them on their own weapons. Her sobs would not stop as she saw Chrestian lie in the blood smattered grass. What she had not expected either were several Ramanga. They had begun to feast on the dead and the flesh and Asuna suddenly vomited at the sight. She saw Ayille kneel near Chrestian who was barely alive and she was whispering. Ayille ported out with her beautiful lover and she lost her head. She changed form that instant and that got the attention of the Ramanga. She was dripping saliva and clawing at the beasts as they tried to bite her. She was losing her mind to her beast and she swiped one Ramanga with so much Dakkasou that it fell and choked up the noxious toxin. Asuna changed form and let her aura flare and she began to unleash nami after nami of green yoki that slammed straight through several Ramanga not giving them any time to change. She stretched her awareness and she ported to Ayille and she screamed in rage. Ayille turned in time to meet the fist of a very pregnant empusae. The female's green eyes were raging and her fangs were bared.

"You cunt! You evil bitch!" Asuna screamed in her beastly voice.

"He was dying. What do you care you foul strumpet?" Ayille hissed.

"Do not Ayille! It is me! It is Arianrhod! You will die. I will kill you!" She said tackling the Ramanga queen.

Ayille's eyes opened wide and she took in this empusae who was strangling her. Claws were extended on both women as they rolled. She was trying like hell to fight but Asuna gathered a nami in her hand. Ayille ported out and appeared behind her ready to spear her when Asuna blocked her with a wind dagger. The Ramanga queen was in shock at seeing the former ekimmu queen reborn and she had not finished the transformation of the beautiful man. He had been given enough blood to become a mindless husk of a Ramanga but not a frère. Asuna in turn released a powerful blast of electrically charged wind that smashed into Ayille and she shook in electrocution. Smoke rose from her body as she shook violently on the ground. Asuna knelt near Chrestian and she sobbed out. She cut her own arm and bled into his mouth. His eyes opened and he slowly began to snarl and growl at her wrist as he sucked the blood in. She had no idea if it worked but he fell back and he was barely conscious.

"Freyja?" He choked out in pain as the two bloods warred in his body.

"Chrestian?" She whimpered.

"Go from here. Take my family. Take them away. Take them to Gaul. Promise me." Chrestian begged grabbing her hands.

"I promise." She sobbed.

"Our baby. Wanted to see our baby. Freyja. Name Freyja." He said as his head slowly turned to the left.

She screamed over his body and hit his chest. Ayille was barely awake herself and she had not heard the soft words but she was a goner if she did stay. Ayille changed form and Asuna was horrified to see it was of a giant cobra. She slithered around Chrestian's body and ported out faster then she could react. The ground exploded where they had been but she had to move. She had to think. Asuna had sworn to Chrestian to take his wife and children to Gaul. She could do that for him and change history but he knew Gaul. She decided that Chrestian's family would become wards of the Western lands. Asuna went into the decimated village and found the woman and two small children. She ported with them and left behind the peace and tranquility she had found in one small Scandinavian town.

Asuna had been able to go to the circles and Efnisien was shocked to see her stomach. He cocked his head to the side and watched her.

"Terre de Brume is closed off in this era but you all can move back and forth." She thought aloud.

"Yes quite. How did that happen? I send you back for one day?" He chuckled.

"I lost him anyway. I found him and I realized what an idiot I am again. I do have one thing that bitch never could.' Asuna said as fresh tears fell down her face.

"I take it you have his child in your womb?" The chaos ekimmu asked.

"Hai. I also took his mortal family to Japan. They will grow old and die but they will have lived a normal life. I have them within inu lands with assurances of continued support for them. I also left them with a huge amount of gold." Asuna stated laying her head against Efnisien's shoulder.

"I think perhaps have the baby in this era." He pointed out softly.

"Good idea. I am so tired but to have known such simple joy. Kami, I fell for him. I tried not to." She said crying into his tunic shirt.

"We are immortal and eternal creatures Asuna. To love and to lose is life but if he is here then it was worth it. You have something precious and your child will have you and him. She will tame me." Her cousin from her first life chuckled.

"Chaos?" She said looking up.

"Yes. Have your baby. Did her father name her?" Efnisien said running his hand down her back.

"Freyja. He named her after the head goddess." She smiled sadly.

"He named her after you. Freyja was one of your names. How very ironic. Let us find shelter in these bitter lands." He said wrapping arms around her.

Tears fell down her face and she let the peace of having stopped Ayille's decimation of his mortal family a comfort and she had gained a precious boon. Chrestian's own regrets had been put to rest and she had a piece of him at his best. She felt the sadness pulling her but she wrapped her arms around her belly and became determined to face down her woes, for Chrestian and all the others.
