I navigated the skies above me, silently and swiftly through the clouds my black scaled body flew. I looked down at the band of warriors riding on horse back, I did not wish to join them yet. My encounter with Vili had left me startled, I didn't know what to say or do, I knew what he would say though. Never has anyone been able to touch Anacalongon apart from my companions, even then Keon is the only one who has ever flown with me. We all have never been touched by a person who we were not connected with, it was unheard of and strange. I shook the memory from my mind as my wings carried me further into the sky, my eyes scanning ahead for any danger that my threaten my warriors.
After the sun was fully risen, I landed about 20kms away from the company, giving myself space and time to shift. I was once again gladden to see that I was again covered in my clothing as the black mist faded. I great gift from the All Father, before my visit to Asgard I would as be naked after a shift. My clothes tearing into nothing. I found my way back onto the snow covered road and slowly begun walking, I knew that the company was close behind but my senses were on alert. I felt as if I was being watched, an uncomfortable situation that made me wish I stayed shifted. But my dragon eyes saw no heat signatures in the area. As I slowly continued my walk, a branch snapping close by made me stop. I took in a large breath, there was no scent other than the earthly smells, no creatures near by. As I walked towards the broken branch, I surveyed the area around it. There were fresh, large boot prints. My body stiffened and came to life, Dark Knights! My mind screamed.
As I went to grab my battle axes, I remembered I had left the behind.
"Fuck!" I yelled, causing birds to leave their nesting spots. I turned to run and alert my companions but I was met with a long forgotten foe. The Knight stood but 15 feet away from me. The Dark Knights were a sickly looking being, the stole bodies to host as their own until they had no further use, killing the host as they left. The Knight stood at 8ft tall, its body was pitch black, the silhouette of what was once a man. Its black skin crawled and shifted as if it were covered in bugs, the Knights bore no eyes, they could only sense heat signatures. But they used this ability well, they were difficult to kill, even more so without any weapons.
The creature before me twitched and focused on my every step, each step I took to flank it, it would move opposite me. It held a large spear as a weapon, if I had my axes it would be dead by now. If I shifted it would sense my weakness, during a shift was always my weakest moment. With my companions scent now filling the air, I knew they would be close now, so I took the opportunity to lunge at the Knight. I spear tackled the creature into the snow and let out powerful blows to its rib cage, it let out a blood curdling scream, one I had heard before. There was more than one Knight in these forests, it was calling for help. The creature landed a blow to my face with its spear, I staggered back at the impact. As it ran for me I braced, once it was close enough I side stepped and caught its neck with one arm. Hooking me around and onto its back, it screamed in surprise at my movement. I locked my arm around its neck and squeezed as it thrashed about and clawed at me. I ignored the searing pain in my arm where it had gouged my skin deeply, it swung its spear around widely trying to land a hit, but it was unsuccessful.
"Freya!" Yelled a bellowing voice behind me, I turned to see Keon with my two battle axes in hand and my warriors ready with weapons. Keon threw my battle axe towards me with all of his might, I shifted my weight and pulled to one side so that the Knight was in the path of my axe. My axe landed in the centre of its chest, as it died it become a black dusk. I grabbed my axe and smiled at Keon, but my smile soon faded as I saw an ambush of Dark Knights from behind them.
"Knights!" I screamed, on quue the men turned and begun fighting. The Knights emerged from the trees and snowy forest in large numbers, but we still fought. I raced towards the battle field and begun swinging my axe widely, destroying Knights with ease. As my axe landed in the skull of a Knight and faded away, I saw Vili who was demolisihing two Knights at a time with his massive battle axe.
"I am Vili! Son of Jarl Bereke and by the Gods you will die by our hands today!" He yelled as he killed the two knights, fueling our warriors to fight on.
"Freya!" Koba yelled, I turned to see my second battle axe being thrown my way. I caught it in my empty hand. I smiled, now it was time to show these warriors that Vili isn't the only monster on the battle field. Vili saw my two axes in hand and smiled.
"Oh o, competition is it now?" Vili yelled to me as he swung at an attacker.
"What are the stakes?" I asked as I swung my two battle axes in sequence at 4 Knights.
"Whoever kills the most, gets to drink my mead for 3 months!" He yelled with a vicious smile, his berserker was emerging as he begun to fight in a frenzy, yelling and cheering as he cut down his enemies.
"Deal!" I yelled, Vili's mother brewed the best mead I had ever tasted, she kept it only for Vili. Getting my hands on that mead was a gift.
15 minutes later and we had killed the Knights, the snow covered ground was now laced with black ashes and blood. I stood on a small rock and over looked where we once fought, huffing and puffing as I regained my breath. I have not battled in sometime, I had much training to do. I swung my two battle axes onto my back, black and full of dust. The men on the fields were pleased with their victory as they all patted each others backs, I smiled lightly.
"As good as this victory is, I would like to know how these Knights got here." Keon said as he walked up behind me.
"We need to scout the area, there will be a camp near by. There may be some information there." I said looking back at Keon, he loved battle but not on these terms. The knights had gotten into our home lands. I jumped off the rick and made my way towards my warriors.
"The battle is won, but we need to split into groups and search the area. We need to find out where they Knights have come from." I instructed, my warriors spilt into groups and begun the search.
"So, who won our competition?" Vili asked in a playful manner as he strolled towards me.
"I wasn't keeping count, I thought you would of been a gentleman and let your Queen win though." I said in my most seductive voice, two can play a game, I thought. Vili laughed as he stood in front of me.
"I am no gentleman Freya, I have no gentle bone in my body, only hard." He winked at me. It took me a moment to understand his joke, but when I did I swatted him away as he laughed.
"You are filthy!" I said as I kicked snow at him.
"Come wash me down then." He joked yet again, I finally let out a laugh at his foul jokes. He truly was filthy. After we finished laughing I looked around to see all of my warriors gone and searching.
"I guess its you and me." I said as I looked over at a cliff face about 5kms away.
"Lets get going." He said following my gaze. The walk to the cliff took roughly 20 minutes, we kept a steady pace to get there sooner. As we reached the cliff I took a moment to appreciate its beauty. At the foot of the cliff was a small river, it was partly frozen apart from the lightly trickling waterfall that formed over the cliff face. As I looked up the frozen water wall I noticed a large opening in the cliff face that was sheltered by the water fall and large icicles.
"Lets get up there, we'll get a good view of the area." I said as I begun looking for a way up.
"Over here." Vili said as he pointed out a thin pathway that was sheltered by a large tree, we begun the walk up the small pathway. It was slippery but better than climbing. As we reached the opening of the cliff I immediately noticed an old fire place and cooking set in the centre of the opening, there was a long log around the fire, carved as a seat. I walked past the fire and towards the back of the opening, there were old barrels, I looked inside to find old blankets and furs. This spot was like a small getaway, a secrete home. It was surprisingly warm and well covered, nobody had been here in years by the looks of things.
"Its... Its beautiful." Vili said as he looked around the area, it was like the mouth of the cliff. The opening was only small but it was beautiful.
"These waters, its so calming, like Freyja's gift to us." Vili said as he watched the water lightly spraying over the front of the cliffs mouth. I walked up next to Vili and admired the waters.
"I feel like this is where someone used to live." I said as I looked back at the fireplace.
"Or where people came to escape reality." Vili said as he looked down at me. As our eyes lingered on each other, I had forgotten about everything that had happened in the past few hours. I could see in his eyes, that he had not.
"Freya..." He said as his hand cupped my face and he pulled me in to a longing kiss, again my body sparked up in sensations. The kiss started soft before Vili become possessive, his hands explored my body, leaving my body consumed by electricity. His hands reached my ass, cupping it and then lifting me up into his arms, I wrapped my legs around his waist. Never once did we break the kiss, he carried my body into the cave until we collided with the cold stone wall. We both grunted at the impact but the pain only consumed us more. Vili pressed his hard body against mine, I felt his growing erection rub against me as he did. He broke our kiss as he groaned into my neck, I tilted my head to give him access. He sucked on my neck which made my groin tighten, my legs reacted and tried to tighten around his waist. He let out of throaty growl and I felt his smile grow on my neck, he grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled it back so he could access me throat. If anyone ever tried such a thing as hair pulling I would have beaten them to death, but the sensations I were feeling put me onto a high.
"Vili... I..." I tried to say between gasps and moans. Vili pursued further, he carried me to the floor by the fireplace were an old bedroll was laid. He placed me on the bedroll and stayed perfectly between my legs. He held my thigh in place with his hand as I tried to close my legs again, I didn't know how to react to the sensations I was feeling.
"Vili, I...I... I want you." I finally managed to say between gasps. Vili stopped and looked deep into my eyes, he looked shocked.
"Say it again." He said as he held my face in his hands.
"I want you, Vili. I want to give myself to you, all of me." I said in a near whisper.
"You... You have never laid with a man?" He asked astonished.
"I was waiting."
"For what?"
"For you." I said softly, I heard his heart skip beats as he stared down at me under his massive body.
