Rose
I was awaken by a soft knock on my door, immediately I got scared I was in an unknown room, I looked at my surroundings and images from yesterday started to come back to me but immediately they were thrown away dye to the insistent knock on the door. I decided to get up and open the door not caring how I looked (worst mistake I've ever done) in front of me I saw King Aragorn, he looked like a fairy tale Prince with the way he was dressed. His strong features relaxing when he saw me opening the door. He was dressed on white robes with silver detailing. His hair on the left side was held tight on small braids that were cascading on to his shoulder. On his head was a crown which looked really fragile to even be worn. The crown was made out of thin silver metal wires creating a beautiful circlet which on his forehead ended on a V shape and on the very tip of the V was a beautiful elven tear drop similar to the one I was wearing on the necklace that was given to me by the old man.
-"how was your sleep?" His beautiful velvety voice filled my ears
-"it was good, how about yours your majesty?" I shyly asked remembering I was wearing nothing but booty shorts and a sport bra from last night when he brought me here.
-"no need to refer to me as your majesty, only Aragorn. My sleep was a little hard to be reached last night, I was too excited about our mark bearing ritual that my eyelids just decided to wait wide open" he said looking down to me a little embarrassed
As he looked down to me he noticed what I was wearing, his eyes grew wide and his pale cheeks tinted in a soft shade of pink. He looked around then opened my door wider letting himself in (uninvited). He locked the door behind him and looked at me with lust, specially starring at my thin sports bra. His stare on my chest made my nipples harden which made him look away as he tried to regain his composure.
-"I must admit I'm having the hardest of the times on controlling myself when I'm seeing you with such a thin fabric barely covering something my lady. However I will be the gentleman my parents raised and will assist you on your preparing, I will leave my lustful thoughts and acting's for after our ceremony" he said and gently caressed my burning cheeks. "Let's get this started" he said
I saw him move around the room opening a door I didn't notice previously, a walk in closet with all kinds of beautiful robes, crowns, shoes, jewelry and any kind of thing a spoiled woman would love.
-"favorite color?" I heard him ask while looking at the beautiful robes
-"blue" I quickly answered
-"great choice, that's my second favorite" he said as he goes to the section of blue robes
All shades of blues with detailing in gold, coper, bronze, silver. One in specific held my attention light blue so light you could mistake it for being white. Beautiful silver detailing were all over it and it was not a robe at all it was more like a cape dress. It was so beautiful that I couldn't help but touch its soft and high quality material. Aragorn followed with his gaze to see which dress I touched and smiled widely.
-"you like that one?" He quickly asked
-"it's so beautiful...and it also matches with my necklace" I say while softly touching my necklace smiling.
-"where did you got that? Did you know that's an elven tear?" He looked at me smiling softly while gently touching the elven tear on my necklace
He winced when his finger made contact with the elven tear, he quickly withdrew his hand from it and looked at me wide eyed. I looked at his eyes questioningly however no words came back from his mouth which was slightly opening and closing as if looking for the correct words to speak.
-"what's wrong?" I asked a little panicked
-"who gave you that?" He asked in a gasp, his eyes were watering, his face was slightly twisting on a painful look
-"it was an old uncle, he kind of predicted me coming to this world, he also gave me this" I said taking the little velvet pouch from the mini pocket of my booty shorts.
He gasped loudly and held my hands, shook his head and looks around as if expecting someone to barge in at any moment.
-"can you tell me what the fuck is wrong with you?" I asked exasperated I was tired of not getting any answer at all
-"these, don't show them to anyone, I mean your necklace and this pouch before we get through our ceremony" he gently touched my face with one of his big hands "I will protect you even if it means treason to my own race" he whispered
He gently laid his forehead on mine, his elven tear was shining as well as mine was. It was weird I was feeling like my necklace wanted to float and unite to the one on his forehead. My hand reached up and gently wiped a tear that fell from his eye to then stroke his sharp featured face.
-"can you at least explain to me what I did wrong?" I asked wanting to prevent he same issue in the future
-"these that you have, are the jewels of my dead family from battle" he said and looked at my eyes "I know it was not you, however since they were given to you...you might get mistaken for one of those hunters. I don't know if you have heard but eleven's are magical creatures. We can grant life where there's death, we can grant happiness where there's sadness. These jewels are practically the trophy show they take from us after they kill us for sport, they also can consume people who misuse the elven tear" he gently hugged me
I sobbed, I didn't noticed I was crying. My face was hidden on his neck while I held him tight feeling horrible for wearing what I had been given without knowing what they were for ones and what they meant to others.
-"I'm so sorry, I didn't know. It was given to me in order to be kept alive in this world. I already died once you know?" I said between sobs
What kind of monster would murder a whole family to just get a shiny crystal stone? That's insane, it makes my stomach feel sick. It pains me that it is his family however he's trying to keep his cool.
-"please allow me to give them to you. I don't want anything that would hurt you even if it means I only have one chance to live" I said while looking at his eyes. "Please" I begged for an answer
He softly carried me on his strong arms and walked back to my room, he sat me on my bed and crouched in front of me between my legs, his eyes softly closed and laid his cheek on my knee then once again looked into my eyes.
-"I wish for you to keep them since they are no longer useful for dead eleven's or their alive family. It seems anyways that my grandma decided to protect you so...it means that your soul is pure" his hand softly closed on mine "if my grandmother who is around your neck gave you a second chance to live, it means she meant for this to happen" he softly smiled "just please don't let me touch it again" he requested me
-"w...what did the elven tear did to you?" I asked completely curious of why he seemed in pain
-"when elves touch other elven tears crystals that do not belong to them...you can feel and slightly see what happened to the owner, their life, their pain, how it died...its beautifully painful" he said as looking at my necklace
After that little moment we had together in my room we stared into each other's eyes until he got up and went back to my rooms closet. It took him almost 10 minutes to come back with his arms full of things

After Aragorn literally used me as a dress up doll and made me walk around doing some modeling to show him how I looked with each and every thing he chose for me. He finally decided for one complete set. The cape dress that we admired earlier was hugging my body, silver sandals on my feet and a matching crown with his on my head. on my wrists there were thing silver bracelets and on my neck the elven tear being held by the silver necklace that was given to me.
-"that one, it looks beautiful on you" he said as he got up and walked around me, scanning every corner of me that his beautiful green eyes could take
-"ok, so what now? I asked happy that the dress up game was finally over
-"well, now we go to" his sentence was cut by someone who opened the door without even knocking
-"my lord, my apologies for the rudeness but there's an important report I must give you" he said looking at Aragorn as if waiting for approval to speak
-"better be as urgent as it has been mentioned" Aragorn said motioning the man to speak
-"we have received an official declaration of war from the west kingdom, it is signed by the lord of Astendalle himself. I have received word from our scouts that the Lord of Astendalle is in the front lines leading a whole army on its way here as we speak" the soldier said
As the guy finished Aragorn stood up and nod to the guy that came with the news of the war coming towards us.
-"I will prepare to lead the army in a moment, play the war cry at its maximum volume, get everyone to line up for when I get there" Aragorn said then turned to me "our ceremony will have to be postponed, right now I need you to seek for protection with the north kingdom, to Jesse. I will need him to protect you, we have not built your panic room yet so tell Jesse that the King of Perakor offers an alliance for a common enemy and also our mark bearer" he informed me
As he said that he began to strip off his clothes, my face could not be more redder I could bet. My mouth was wide open at the view of his sin inviting body. He should be illegal, he's too hot for my health.
-"why are you looking at me like that?" he asked as he pulled me into his room taking me off my little mental trip of how sexy he was
-"uh, are you going naked to war?" I blurted still looking at him wearing nothing other than a loincloth
-"what?" he stopped moving around in the hunt of his stuff to stare at me
"you're wearing nothing but uh… undies" I said while starting to panic
-"ah, no we don't use armor, it makes our movements limited and makes us slow, we only use loincloth, helmet and our magical weapons" he said as if was the most obvious thing in the world
-"oh, understood. Also how am I going to go to Jesse's kingdom?" I asked while eying his almost naked body
He was wearing nothing but a loincloth and his helmet which he recently put on, the helmet was gold and very shiny after putting it on he began to put some weird red painting with a brush on the uncovered parts of his face and body doing some kind of patterns that looked really interesting, I didn't understand what the painting was for but seeing his muscles twitch at the feel of the brush kind of made the room feel a little more…hot.
-"what's the paint for?" I had to, I'm too curious to shut my stupid mouth
-"these are warnings, to let the enemy know we will not stop until we are bathed on their blood. It means no mercy for those who oppose to us" he said smirking "help me a bit with the back" he handed me the brush and I tried to imitate the patterns he already did on himself "I will open a portal for you, it will lead to wherever Jesse is at the moment you cross it" he said breaking the silence "please, stay safe ok? I will be back to you after I bring you our victory my beautiful queen" he said as he knelt in front of me, looked up and smiled reassuringly "I can see worry on your face" he softly pressed his face to my belly" I vow to go back to you alive" he reassured me
As he said that I took off his helmet and stroked his hair, I couldn't help it, I was worried for him, for his people and everything around if something were to go wrong, it would be a total chaos.
-"how about a kiss for good luck?" he asked as he got up and took the helmet from my hands
He softly leaned to me, his face close to mine, my eyes closed and my lips parted to welcome his. The wait didn't take long our lips began a soft dance against each other's making my legs go weak due to the intensity of our kiss.
-"well, this is it. Let's go so I can open the portal for you" he said after our soft kiss ended
We began to walk out of his room to the hallway and I could see everyone around, men wearing nothing but their loincloths and their battle helmets in silver, barefoot and preparing for battle. I swear to God I would enlist for the next war. I might want to be the Mulan of this story for sure, so many sexy men wearing almost nothing to fight body to body? Count me in!
-"here" I heard Aragorn say then I looked at him "it's open already" he said then kissed my forehead "I will be back to you, I promise" he smiled to me
I nodded my head, gently caressed his face as a good bye then crossed the portal leaving part of my heart with him hoping for a safe return of my beautiful pointy eared King...
