Suwa froze with a deathly pale face. In the blink of an eye the man had grabbed her. Gosh, the creature smiled. No, this is not a smile but a threat. Suwa immediately retracted her words. She gulped. It was better for the creature to put on an expressionless face than to have to pull the corners of her lips. Her hunch said, this is a sign of danger. The creature was angry.
Ludra the last Falcon slowly brought out a blade from the icicles he created. And immediately slashed Suwa's neck. Reflex Suwa closed her eyes, ready to die. But she opened her eyes again because the knife only scratched her neck.
Suwa gasped, suddenly Ludra buried his head in the crook of Suwa's injured neck. Until she couldn't help but tilt her head. The creature kissed her. No, rather suck her blood. Suwa felt a strange swish that surrounded her whole body. She winced between amusement and pain. I don't know what the creature did to him, what was clear was that his body suddenly went limp.
Oh god, this creature will eat it. It sucks the blood out. Until her body shriveled dry like a mummy.
Ludra continued to suck her blood while chanting the incantation. Not long after, Ludra lifted her face. Immediately, the scratches on Suwa's neck slowly disappeared. Forms a straight line that glows yellowish. Then, the line seeped into Suwa's skin and gradually faded away.
Suwa momentarily swayed while holding her neck. Feeling that part of her body felt so cold it was freezing, "What did you do to me?"
"Mark you." Ludra backed away, his silver pupil staring at Suwa who was being tormented without guilt.
Suwa was still holding her neck in a panic. It's really cold. It felt like his throat was stuffed with so many ice cubes that it made her shiver with pain.
"It's cold, it's so cold." Suwa really tormented. The cold air seemed to suffocate her.
"This will be over soon."
Slowly the coldness that enveloped Suwa's neck subsided. Her neck is back to normal. She gasped and immediately looked up at Ludra sharply.
"You really are cruel."
Ludra didn't respond, he turned around and said, "Come on, clean yourself!"
****
Suwa gaped at the clear expanse of the river in front of his. Small rocks decorate along the river. She glanced at Ludra in annoyance,
"You want me to shower here?"
Ludra nodded.
Suwa opened her mouth wide, "Oh my. By god... I'm a girl and you~." He traced the creature beside him, "I don't know what you are, it's clear that you are a man. And you told me to take a bath here, with you seeing everything. Gosh!"
Suwa groaned in frustration, how could the white creature tell her to wash herself in a river that was wide and there wasn't even a barrier like big rocks, for example, to cover her naked body. Her body did feel sticky, her pink clothes were tattered by the dust. His face is also the same. She really needs to take a shower. But not if a pair of eyes see it.
"I'm going to take a shower. Can you go away for a bit!" Suwa spoke politely, hoping that the man would comply.
"Take a shower, I'll be waiting there." Ludra pointed to a large tree on the side of the river.
Suwa stared, still in that position this creature could see clearly, "I'm a woman and need privacy."
Ludra then looked at Suwa. Not a glare full of intimidation. But still for Suwa the creature's gaze was frightening.
"I-I mean I can't take a shower when a guy is looking at me. I'm human and I have shame." Suwa said slowly. She needs to explain things that concern human life. Maybe for legendary creatures to see and be seen while bathing is normal.
"I understand." Ludra backed away slightly. Then stretched out one hand up. At the same time, some of the river water suddenly rose in a semicircle. Miraculously the water froze.
Become a dividing wall.
Once again Suwa gaped, so amazed at the extraordinary thing this creature had done.
"Take a shower!"
Suwa nodded then hesitantly glanced at Ludra who turned his back on her, "Don't turn your back yet. I need to take off my clothes."
He could see the creature nodding.
"Hmmm, but can you create a circular barrier?" Suwa bit the corner of her lip half worried. "Not only partially. I'm afraid that other creatures will see."
"Nothing. I'm sure it's just you and me in this place."
Suwa breathed a sigh of relief. Slowly she took off his clothes one by one. Afraid that suddenly the creature turned and saw it. But it looks like she can keep his fears away. The creature called Ludra was still silent facing the opposite direction.
Suwa slowly dipped her body into the river. The barrier that came from the frozen water was enough to cover her naked body.
Suwa bathed comfortably. It was as if he hadn't touched the water in a long time. She closed his eyes feeling the pool of the river water was soothing. Unconsciously she hummed. Until she forgot that someone was waiting for her to take a shower.
Perhaps the calm Falcon was getting irritated.
"Hurry up! In a few moments the barrier will melt."
"WHAT?" Suwa flinched for a moment. She quickly rubbed her body while grumbling.
Damn creature! Why did you just say?
Even though it was dim, Suwa could see the silver-eyed man sitting leaning against a tree, stretching out one leg. she had spoken with calm eyes closed. Suwa rolled her eyes in disbelief.
Then Suwa gasped in panic as little by little the ice wall started to melt, "Yah... Well... N-no wait don't melt yet!"
Byurrr!!!
In the end the wall melted so fast. Suwa sat down for a moment, dunking her body into the river up to her neck.
Ludra opened his eyes. Staring at Suwa who looked down in shame. The last falcon stood up and turned around, "Put your clothes back on!"
Suwa dashed out of the river cautiously. She is very ashamed. She was naked and not far from there was a man. Although sure the creature will not act immoral to her, but still she was worried.
Suwa crouched down to pick up her dress. Occasionally her eyes peek warily. Her wet and naked body made it difficult for her to put her clothes back on, "Don't turn around until I tell you to."
Ludra who was standing still with his arms crossed behind his back raised an eyebrow, "So now you're ordering your master?"
Suwa gasped. Realizing that his words were inappropriate for a man with the status of an employer, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean-."
"Never mind... Hurry and put your clothes on!"
"Yes sir." Suwa nodded, she quickly put her clothes back on. The black marble stared straight at the creature that was standing with such an understated and majestic demeanor.
So beautiful.
