Along one of the paths that connects one village to another in the Lihyan territory, a beautiful woman dressed in purple robes could be seen running after a little boy who was escaping from her, the boy dressed the same as the woman, while a man in matching robes walked calmly behind them with a katana in his hands watching them play with a smile on his face.
"No! Mom, I'm big enough, I can walk alone, I don't need you to carry me!" Ru half-shouted nervously as he escaped from his mother's clutches, although he had already turned seven two months ago, his mother still treated him as if he were three.
'Although it doesn't bother me that she's so clingy at home, in public it's another thing,' Ru thought, while dodging his mother's attacks, with his arms in the shape of pincers he lunged behind him using all his efforts to not get caught in them.
"Fu fu fu, what are you saying darling, for mom you will always be her little boy," said Fa as he quickly disappeared from Ru's vision.
'A! Where did she go?!', Ru, bewildered by his mother's disappearance, began to move his head quickly in all directions, trying to discover where she had gone, where after a few seconds he felt a chill coming from his back, making his instincts alert him that she was behind him, prompting him to jump forward to escape, but it was too late, when without knowing it he was already being carried by her, where Fa, happily, was rubbing her cheeks with his.
"You think you could escape from me Ru, you still need to become stronger for that," With a mocking voice and triumphant of having caught him she spoke to him, making Ru only able to surrender to falling prisoner in his mother's arms, accepting his fate with a sigh.
"Ha Ha Ha, another defeat at the hands of your mother Ru," Kian said laughing, where Ru, deciding not to touch on that taboo subject for him, changed the subject.
"Do we really need to attend the party? Can't we just congratulate Liz without participating in it?"
"Of course, although we are quite permissive with your wishes of not going to places with a lot of people, remember Ru, in the future you will be one of the leaders of your race, you must get used to the celebrations of the village," Kian answered calmly, making Ru put on a face of reluctance.
Kissing his son's cheeks, Fa said, "Fu fu fu, darling, don't make that face, we have also fulfilled your wish that we would not celebrate most of your birthday with the whole town, so come on, put a smile on that cute little face of yours, we are going to participate in the celebration for Liz's fifteenth birthday, we must show our good faith in front of the town, besides, I know that she will be happy that you attended."
'Ahhhh, although I know, I don't like parties at all, I also know that Liz will be happy with my participation...', thought Ru while focusing on his memories.
The day after Ru birth
Night had already fallen, where the brighter than normal moon tried to attract the attention of something with its light, illuminated the lands of the Lihyan race. In one of his town normally simple in its designs, it was decorated with lanterns where on them was drawn something similar to the combination of a dragon and a wolf, they illuminated the streets giving a festive atmosphere, where families celebrated happily in all the streets of the town and in the center, in front of the leader's house, gathered, were sitting with a cradle in the middle all the leaders with their wives and children and in front of them the rest of the town drank and ate happily, while next to them not far away music was playing produced by drums made with skin and dancers who moved to the rhythm of them.
In the crib, lying down, Ru could be seen, looking with interest at the moon, stretching his small hands towards it, as if he wanted to touch it. But that moment of peace for the little boy was interrupted when his vision was blocked by the face of a girl of about eight years old, who with a playful look on her face took the little boy and lifted him up to her face.
"Liz dear, hold little Ru tight, don't let him go" Zui spoke to his daughter who, interested in the strange appearance of the newborn, went towards him.
"I know mother," he spoke in a childish tone, as he returned to his seat with Ru in his arms.
The little boy could only feel sad at the interruption of the attempt to catch that light that hung in the sky attracting him.
Liz happily began to see his face up close, focusing on his eyes of different colors each, which looked like stars.
"Wow, how cute," he said out loud, attracting the attention of the little boy, who was staring out of focus.
Ru, realizing that he could no longer play with that shiny ball, stretched out his hands and began to touch the culprit's face, playing with his cheeks and laughing at the faces he made when he stretched them out.
His laughter attracted the attention of the other leaders' daughters, making that his worst mistake. Before he knew it, they had gathered around him, where they began to play with him as if he were a stuffed animal, making his eyes spin in circles due to the enthusiasm they gave off.
"Hey Liz, don't keep him just for yourself, let me hold him too," Cie, six years old, Ben's daughter, spoke while pouting at her friend.
"That's right Liz," Jien, seven years old, Dyn's daughter, spoke half angry.
"Ahyyyy it's okay, hold him tight" Liz reluctantly handed the little boy over to them at the complaint of her two friends.
The others who saw that scene could only laugh at the misfortune of the newborn.
"Hey, be more careful with little Ru, leave him alone" Dai, seven years old, grandson of Gan, spoke, trying to free Ru from the clutches of those little girls, but unfortunately it was of no use because as if he were air, they ignored him, they didn't even turn to look at him, continuing with their own thing, making him return to his seat defeated with his head down, being comforted by his grandfather.
Not even Ru had noticed Dai's attempt to save him, because in his head he was only trying to understand how he had ended up being the relief from the boredom of those girls for the rest of the night.
But that night not everything was tragic for little Ru, because that night he got his first friend, Liz.
Six months after Ru's sixth birthday
It was Christmas in the Lihyan land, the snow covered the roads and the roofs of the houses in a beautiful white, it was always chosen at random which town would celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of the next, where this year the village of the leader Kian won.
A large number of people could be seen entering the town that was preparing for the end of the year celebration from outside, where Ru watched them while the snow fell on top of him.
'Aaaaahh where did that little rascal go?', Ru sighed, thought, a few minutes ago Liz had attacked him from behind throwing a snowball at his head, he had run her to the outskirts of the town.
Some time after her fourteenth birthday she had reached the second level of the body tempering stage, making the "fights" between them become more even.
Pahf
A snowball hit her back where Ru, turning his head quickly saw Liz more than ten meters away smiling at him and sticking out his tongue began to run again shouting "Come catch me if you can Ru", with an ironic smile on his face he began to chase her again, this time more attentive to avoid losing sight of her.
The two entered the forest in front of the town, laughing happily Liz ran quickly not wanting to get caught and Ru with a happy look in his eyes followed her, the snow fell on them, the forest as if it had a life of its own and corresponded to the feelings of the two visitors, it let itself be rocked by the wind, making its leaves emit soft sounds similar to a lullaby.
But no matter how fast Liz was, Ru was already close to the third level of body tempering, making him reach her a few minutes later, jumping on top of her, pushing her on the snow and starting to roll around in it, ending with Ru on top of her holding her hands above her head and smiling she said:
"I got you little one"
"Ha ha ha, who are you calling little one, I'm bigger than you Ru" Liz answered with a cheerful voice, without trying to free herself from his hold.
"You never learn Liz, but I like that about you" Ru answered carelessly without taking into account what those words would cause.
Liz, taking him off guard, pushed him forward reversing their positions.
"So you like me Ru? Fu fu fu, who would have known that that innocent child would become such a sweet talker," Liz said with a blushing face and a tender look.
Ru, taken by surprise and not knowing how to answer that question, stood blankly looking at her blushing face and those sweet eyes, he had never thought about it thoroughly, but she was beautiful, she was one meter sixty, although she is older than him, in reality she was not that tall, she was only three centimeters taller than him, with white hair braided to her waist, her skin as white as snow without any imperfection in it, red eyes, the face that was once that of a playful girl had matured to become that of a sweet young woman, her body had developed incredibly, a slender figure with beautiful curves where they should be, with a chest not so big but perfect for her and that heart-shaped ass that awakened dark thoughts, those beautiful white and fleshy thighs that made you want to bite them marking them like your finger, with those cute feet adorning her and that smell that her body gave off only made everything more irresistible, all wrapped in a white and purple tunic that did not fit her body so much, but it did lend itself to With enough intention, he could distinguish his beautiful figure. Thoughts and feelings that he had never had in his life flooded him, leaving his mind confused and without knowing it, his thoughts filtered into her eyes, making him give her a passionate look, penetrating the deepest part of her soul.
Liz, taken by surprise by his intense gaze, did not know how to take the situation, it was the first time she had found herself in something like this.
Since she had met him that night, he always seemed like an interesting boy, different from all the others and she did not say it because of his hair or eye color, she said it in his attitude, being trapped in discovering what was going on in that head.
As the next heir to her mother's leadership position, she spent her time studying and training to fulfill her role as best as possible. In her free time she always went to visit him to watch him grow, and her instinct had not failed her, he was different, smarter, stronger, sweeter, his serious look when he studied, his voice when he played with her, anything he did, made her feel happy and at peace, making feelings of love spring from my chest. I thought that love was that of a sister for her little brother, but it was not.
A few days after his fifth birthday, I came to visit him, happy to be able to see him after a month and somewhat sad that I hadn't been able to be on his first hunt; my mother's training had taken longer than I expected. Arriving at his house, his parents told me that he was not there, but they told me where I could find him, thanking them, I left town entering deep into the forest that was on its outskirts, I walked for a while following my instincts and there he was, sitting on a rock next to a pond, the daylight hitting his skin gently, the wind blew and his hair swayed to its rhythm, that serene look on his face while he polished his katana left me perplexed, like the first day I met him, causing an avalanche of questions to arise in my heart, Why was his look so changed? Why does he look more mature? Is it because of his first hunt? While more and more questions churned in my head, making my heart beat rapidly, until one of them resonated louder than the others, Is it love what I feel for him? Just as that question brought peace to my soul, like a storm destroyed it even stronger, Making me remember all the moments together, superimposing it on the view in front of me. Since when do I see him like that? Did I hit puberty? Is this okay? Am I not too old? Does he think of me the same way? Making me feel lost in my mind again, with endless questions but no answers, until he turned his gaze towards me, taking me out of those deep thoughts, making my mind go blank and I only focused on his gaze. I heard his voice. "How long have you been there Liz? Come sit down, look at the gift my parents gave me" he spoke to me while smiling with his right hand feeling the floor next to him. Those words and actions that wouldn't mean much to others, for me were more than enough to calm me down, so closing my eyes to organize my thoughts, I decided to make the decision to let things follow their natural course of action, letting time clarify my feelings.
But over time, my feelings became more unstable every time I visited him, until overwhelmed by not knowing how I should behave with him, I threw a snowball at him, hoping that he would chase me, and so he did. Those repressed feelings made it end this way, with me on top of him asking him if he loved me, with him looking at me in such a passionate way, with my heart in chaos for not knowing how to face something that he started but that I had deepened even knowing that he did not say it that way, but still wanting to find an answer in those words said by him.
Taking her look as a sign, Liz decided to take a risk and take advantage of this situation to clarify her feelings. With a determined look and voice she spoke, "I know you're smarter than you seem, Ru, and that's why I'm taking this risk. I can't keep this knot in my heart, it hurts me, so let me ask you, what do you think when you look at me? What do you want me to be in the future for you? Take your time to think, Ru."
Listening to Liz's determined words, Ru decided to think seriously about her answer, closing her eyes.
'I have to admit, before this day I didn't think of her as anything more than a friend, but today for some reason my blood boils when I see her, my brain only has carnal thoughts towards her, I knew that our race had a high libido, it is said that it is greater than that of the succubi, but I didn't expect it to come to me so young, ahhhhhhhh, do I see her in a romantic way? What is love? Have I felt love for something? No, what I should ask myself is what is the feeling that I get when I'm near her? It's happiness, possessiveness, jealousy, lust..., but what I feel most for her is possessiveness, I don't want anyone to look at her, for anyone to touch her, for her to be mine, for not even death to be able to separate her from my side..., I haven't felt such a feeling for other people or things, is this my way of seeing love? Will she be okay with it? Ahhhhh how complicated relationships are'.
As Ru thought, Liz's expression began to get nervous, she began to regret having rushed things. After a while he opened his eyes, leaving his mind blank, hypnotizing her in the process like that time in the pond, but his gaze was not calm like that time, for the first time in these six years, she saw something more in his eyes than tranquility, in them there was jealousy, fear, lust, but what stood out the most about them was possessiveness, where after a few minutes all those emotions disappeared, leaving in the reflection of his eyes something she dreamed of, love, making a big smile appear on her face and tears began to run down her eyes.
Ru, nervous, not understanding why Liz was crying, broke free from her grip, and bringing his hands to her face where he carefully began to dry her tears and with a worried tone he said "Liz, why are you crying, I did something wrong," it hurt him to see her cry.
"No.... -sniff- I just... -sniff- I feel happy -sniff-" Liz answered while resting her hands on the snow.
"But I haven't even given my answer yet, Fu fu fu, what a crying girl I'm stuck with," Ru said with a relieved voice.
"Fum, who are you calling a crybaby, and Ru, have you thought of your answer yet?" Liz asked with a tender and at the same time nervous voice towards Ru, with hope reflected in her eyes that her feelings are reciprocated.
Ru lifted his upper body from the floor where he was lying, sat down with her on his legs, wrapping his left hand around her waist and bringing his right hand to her cheek caressing them, where Liz settled on top of him and wrapped her legs behind his back getting closer to him, her left hand resting on the hand that was on her cheek and her right hand moving to Ru's left cheek, then bringing her head closer to his until the tip of her nose touched his.
Feeling the warmth of each other's bodies so close, they closed their eyes, feeling with their souls the peace and happiness that being together brought them.
After a few minutes, Ru broke the silence, causing the two to look at each other deeply.
"Liz, from having spent so much time with me, you already know that my head doesn't work normally."
"Mmmm, that's right, Ru."
"The truth is that I'm afraid that my way of loving is repulsive to you, thoughts go through my head that a sane person shouldn't have."
"You don't have to be afraid, I'm here for you, Ru, I'll accept everything from you, but I only ask one thing, would you grant it to me?" Liz responded with a loving look and tone.
"What Liz?" Ru said, while hugging her tighter, as if he was afraid that she would disappear at any moment.
"Love me Ru, I only ask you that"
"I love you Liz, just as you are there for me I am also there for you, if you have any problems, share the burden with me, I will be more than willing to help you to face it together"
With great happiness flooding her from Ru's words, Liz kissed his lips, although caught off guard Ru returned the kiss, tasting the other's lips, separating after a few minutes they stopped to catch their breath, where Liz spoke.
"I love you too Ru, so tell me what's on your mind, tell me your thoughts, I'll tell you mine too"
As soon as Liz had finished speaking, Ru with great happiness and lust pounced on her lips again, they were as soft and tasty as honey, a red color that encouraged him not to separate from them, her hands began to run over his body making him release small moans that sweetened his soul, creating a need in him to hear more of that sweet melody that came out of his beloved's mouth, releasing her lips to let her catch her breath and hear her moans better, where without stopping kissing her, he lowered his lips to her neck where he began to suck and bite it, wanting to leave marks on it to assert his dominance in her body and soul where Liz happily received his love, hugging him tighter with her legs and bringing her hands to her head pushing him even more into her neck, wanting him to merge with her body even more.
That day, only the afternoon light that illuminated them, the snow that fell upon them and the trees that adorned that scene with their beautiful melodies produced by their leaves swaying in the cold winter wind, were witnesses to the union of their two souls in an eternal love.
