Chapter 43: A Night of Clarity

“I am with you. I will do anything to get back my best friend,” Lisa agreed.

“Yes, I will not let any more harm come to Silva, after all I am a knight who has failed her. I should have protected her better,” Terrrance said feeling down.

“You did everything you can to protect her and I believe deep down inside she knows you love her,” Lisa said, trying to encourage him.

“Yeah, you are a true knight and she deserves you,” Rufus admitted.

“Does that mean you are giving up your pursuit?” Lisa asked in a jolly tune.

“Yes, Terrance is a much better choice, then I ever was,” Rufus admitted.

“Thank you for mentioning that. I appreciate it,” Terrance said.

“Speaking of which, where is Silva?” Lisa asked.

“Well, the last time I checked, she was with Rajah and then I saw her sneaking out of the back to get some air and asked to be alone,” Raquel mentions.

“Maybe I should go and check on her,” Terrance offers.

“You will do no such thing,” Raquel warns, trying to stop him.

“And why is that?” Terrance asked.

“She went through a lot this past month and she just needs to clear her head for a bit,” Raquel explains.

“I do not care. As a knight, I have to be there for her no matter what, so I am going,” Terrance said as he headed out.

“It is going to be his funeral if he interrupts her quiet time,” Rufus warned.

“I agree,” everyone else said, knowing what she did.

“Ha-ha, I guess we have to leave them be for the time being,” Raquel teased.

“Girls, stay here as well, try not to go out for a little while,” Lisa warned.

“Yes, Auntie Lisa,” Greer and Grace said as they went to play.

Terrance runs out of the guild hall through the gardens trying to find her. He searches through the many gardens the guild surrounds itself with. Then he extends his search to the outer gardens where he comes out at last to a cliff overlooking a huge waterfall. This is where he finally finds his princess.

“So, this is where you have been? I must say it was not easy to find you in a place like this,” Terrance said, trying to be enthusiastic.

“Huh, Terrance, what are you going here?” Silva asked, a little surprised.

“I came here to see how you are doing and I thought you would need some cheering up,” Terrance explained.

“It is your funeral if you bother me, but since you are here take a seat next to me,” Silva said, a bit sad.

“How are you doing?” Terrance asked.

“I am not sure, it feels like something is missing in me. Like my magical link is gone to the goddess. I feel like my old self again and I finally feel happy not wanting to be a goddess. Now I am back to myself, and my so-called fiance is a crazy idiot with a god complex, we have to stop him no matter what,” Silva mentioned, staring at the stars.

Thinking for a minute on what words to say, he decides to say,“It is normal to be selfish. No one has a pre-destined path. We make our own destiny.”

“You are just saying that.”

“No it is true. I never had a path to choose from, but when I became a knight for the goddess, I finally had a path to follow. When I met you all those years ago and fell in love with you, I felt like I had a different path to follow. I swore to you to be your knight, not as goddess protector, but a woman I love for all eternity. I will admit, coming on this journey was a bit selfish on my part because I wanted to know more about you and learn to love you even more,” Terrance confessed blushing a little.

“Ha-ha, that is the longest confession I have ever heard, but I love it. Terrance, I love you and always love you too. If it wasn't for you, I might be dead. You saved my life so many times and I am grateful for that and always will. I love you,” Silva thanked him.

“Me too.”

“Also, there is something else I need to tell you. I am going to tell you the real story about how I got the title of, “Silva of the Desert.”

“Go on.”

Silva took a deep breath and began to tell him her story.

“When I was seventeen years ago and still part of the Guild League, I adventured to the desert region in Hemlock to take on the dungeon to defeat the dragon living there. It seemed a simple job, but this region has a history of a harsh climate with extremely harsh sandstorms. No one ventures out there unless they have a death wish.The worst part was the endless amount of monsters trying to stop you from entering the dungeon. I was the only brave person who ventured out with my former guild to take on the dungeon. Once we got inside, we separated and I went after the dragon. I had my own agenda to deal with since I had to prove to everyone I wasn't useless without magic. I relied on my sword skills and weapon skills to take on the monsters polluting the dungeon and head straight to the dragon’s lair. Getting to the dragon’s lair and he was no picnic since he had thick armor. He was really powerful and it was funny how he tried to kill me with fire blasts, but I managed to dodge it. Thankfully, he was not as smart, so I used a few trick mirrors to distract him and manage to weaken his armor. When I found his weak spot was his belly, I struck him hard with my sword and it took a few moments for him to die. I worked on collecting a few of the dragon scales to use and sell. When I got back outside, the sandstorms disappeared, the monsters were gone, and the guild was cheering with pride,” Silva explained, remembering her victory.

“That sure is an amazing story, so what happened next?” Terrance asked kindly.

“Well, after all the cheering, I found out we lost five of our guys fighting off the monsters since I wasn’t there to protect them. I did get my title of “Silva of the Desert”, but it did not help me out. When we returned back to the guild, an official hearing took place at the guild hall and I was kicked out. After a while, I travelled across the world until I found my new home with the Red Phoenix Flower Guild with Rajah by my side. They accepted me with open arms and Rajah and I found our new family,” Silva explained kindly.

“Wow, you sure had a colored past, but I am glad you told me. You just made me fall even more in love with you,” Terrance said kindly, putting his arms around her.

“I love you too,” Silva said kindly.

“Silva, I hope you do not think this is sudden, but would you do me the honor and become my wife,” Terrance said, taking out a jewelry box and showing her the blue rose ring with sapphire in the center.

“Oh, Terrance, it is so beautiful, of course I will marry you, I love you,” Silva said kindly, accepting his ring and kissing him with joy.

Silva kissed him with such passion, but she thought this moment would be perfect for something to celebrate.

“Terrance, make love to me,” Silva whispers.

Terrance moves his head away, surprised hearing her say this.

“Are you sure?”

Silva responds by kissing him and wrapping her arms around his neck pulling him closer to her face.

“Take everything off,” Silva whispers between kisses.

Terrance stands up and starts to disrobe. Silva watches her handsome man taking off his first layer of clothing revealing his amazing muscular chest. She reaches for him once again and pulls him closer to her. Kissing his chest furiously like a hungry lion wanting to eat him up.

Terrance could not resist her kisses and wanted more. Without any effort at all, he slips his hands underneath her, unzips her blouse and grabs it, throwing it away. He gently places her on the ground and continues to kiss her by kissing her nipples one by one. Silva began moaning with joy like she never had before while the sensation flowed through her body. She wanted more.

She grabs him closer as he kisses her neck letting her moan once again. Terrance kisses seem fiercer as he works down to her belly as his hands were holding on to her breasts not letting her move an inch. It did not bother her as she was in the middle of something so special she wanted to do with Terrance for a long time.

She loved the feel of his hands touching every inch of her body that she wanted more.

“Terrance, I want more,” she whispers.

On her command, Terrance lends in again, kissing her again in her soft spot and traces her body with her, wanting to know every inch of her body.

Again she said, “I want more.”

He then stood up spreading her legs as he took off his pants exposing himself in front of her for the first time in a long time. It shouldn't come as a surprise since they had slept together once before a long time ago, but this time was different. Silva thought he was the most beautiful man she has ever slept with and she wanted more of him inside of her. Silva could not remove the rest of her clothing, so Terrance took off the rest for her.

Fully exposed to the man she loves, sends her chills through her spine. Terrance seemed to enjoy the view and wanted it all to himself. Terrance is overshadowing her and she pulls him in by wrapping her arms around his neck. He kisses her lips and feels the sensation all over her body. The sensation Silva felt made her moan a few more times until she was able to breathe again.

“More Terrance,” she whispers, catching her breath.

Terrance works his way down to her stomach and kisses it furiously. This made her groan and moan so many times that it was a good sign. Terrance continued down and soon put a little pressure on her and she started to moan. It was a great sensation and she wanted more.

“Don’t stop,” she says in between her moans.

Terrance listens to her and keeps on pushing while watching her reactions enjoying this sensation. She could no longer take it, so she pushed him away signaling she was done. Terrance lies his body on top of her covering her like a blanket to keep her warm.

Catching her breath she says, “My, I am glad I waited this long to make love to you. You are amazing.”

Terrance catching his own breath said, “Yes, you are amazing. I am glad I waited too.”

“Oh, but we are not done yet. It is your turn to moan,” Silva said, getting up.

“What do you mean?” Terrance asks, a bit shy.

“You will see,” Silva said, ready to pounce.

Silva rolls Terrance on his back and opens his legs to let herself enter his body too. In the moonlight, his body truly radiated showing his handsome body so longed from long ago. His chest is as hard as boulders and she wanted to taste them all. She kissed his lips as she was playing happily around his own tree. He seemed to be enjoying it as he could not breathe. Silva worked her way down kissing his neck and stayed on top of him. He moaned again for the fifth time and made her smile.

Silva slowly uses her tongue to trace every inch of his body making him moan again.

Terrance now knows how much she loved him, but she will feel devastated when she finds out the truth.

She interrupted his fantasy when she crawled down to his center and simply kissed him there for as long as she could breathe. Terrance grips her hips to hold her still for a minute to look into her eyes.

“More,” he whispers this time.

Silva goes even lower to his manhood and without any effort places kisses on top of his crouch. He moaned and wanted more. Silva continued on kissing him and would not stop. He is truly enjoying this. Silva then puts Terrance inside her and they were enjoying every minute of it.

Both reaching their climax were finally done with this.

“Whoa, that was amazing. I can see you are a natural,” Terrance can only say.

“Yes, it was perfect, but we are not done yet,” Silva said, feeling freer than she has ever had before.

“What do you mean?” Terrance asks, confused.

Silva kisses him on the lips before grabbing his arm and starts running towards the cliff. With one strong jump, they were diving into the waterfall. In the water, Silva swims close to Terrance and kisses him. Their bodies touch sending a huge amount of hits through their bodies and begin a second orgasm in the water.

When they swam back to shore, they were catching their breath. Silva lay down on the ground enjoying the night breeze. Terrance, on the other hand, can see his beautiful goddess body open and he wanted her more. He crawls over to her body, pins her down, and starts making love to her once again. He pushes harder to have her inside as he simply wanted all of her to consume his inside. Silva feeling the sensation did not want this to end. She wraps her legs around his hips and pushes even harder to have him inside of her as well.

Her thoughts were even more scattered when Terrance penetrated inside of her as he kissed her to the point her climax had just been reached. She had sex before with the many guys she has dated, but they never once made her feel like this.

“More,” she whispers.

Terrance thrusts more into her body as they did not leave any space untouched. The cool water dripping all corners of his body made her thirsty, so she gathered what strength she had left and started licking any water he had left and enjoyed how he moaned when doing so.

With both of their climaxes reached, Terrance lies his body on Silva and slowly kisses her lips. Silva seemed to be hungry and still thrusted her cave into him one last time before ending this little show.

“Wow, that sure was great,” Silva said, laying open to cool off.

“Indeed, you are such a great lover.”

“Thank you. You too.”

“Should we get going before the others worry?” Terrance asked.

“Yes, let’s go. I don't think I want my daughters seeing me like this,” Silva said, a bit embarrassing.

“I would agree. I thought we would enjoy the cherry trees and talk.”

“Yes, well, I thought it would be boring. I wanted to show you how much I would truly love you.

“Same with me, but that was amazing.”

“You know there were cherry trees back up there and all around here.”

“Oh, I did not notice.”

“The guild planted them for me when I left in a way to always remember me, but they are more special to me because….”

“Because what?”

“This is the same tree we first met as children and again when we first confessed our love for the first time.”

“And making love for the first time.”

“Yes, now we better go before we really are late.”

Terrance grabs her and starts kissing her. Only this time not letting go and making love a third time before returning.

Back at the capital, Lord Julian not caring that his love left and humiliated him was enjoying his new god powers.

“Ah, I never thought becoming a god would feel so good,” Lord Julian said excitedly.

“Well, it is great for all masters, but what should we do next?” Frank asked.

“How about we start in taking over the world and get revenge on that bitch embarrassing me like that, she will pay for what she did,” Lord Julian declared.

“I am glad you want to kill her, but do you think it is wise? I mean goddess magic is very dangerous if you are not blessed to use it, it might kill you,” Alice warned.

“Silence you stupid girl, you’ll do what I say or I kill you. Now let us begin,” Lord Julian said, giving out orders and killing Alice at the same time.

“Now, if there are no more objections, let’s get to work,” Julian said, ready to leave.

After their third orgasm finished, Terrance and Silva climbed back up the cliff to get dressed. But, suddenly, Silva was in great pain.

“Silva, what is wrong?” Terrance asked with worry.

“I am not sure, I felt like someone died. This cannot be happening. I am not a goddess anymore,” Silva said, putting on her blouse.

“I am not sure, maybe not all of it left you. Maybe you are still connected with it after all,” Terrance answered.

“Maybe, but we will not know for sure until we find out. Let’s head back to the guild hall and tell the others,” Silva said, grabbing her shoes.

Finishing up getting dressed, they walked back to the guild hall. Little they knew, they walked into a surprise they never knew.

“Huh, I thought I might find you here, it seems you two had an interesting night, huh,” Rufus said observing the situation.

“Yes, we did, so what are you doing here?” Silva asked, blushing.

“Well, someone is eager to see you,” Rufus said as he stepped away to show Rajah.

“Rajah!” Silva shouted as she ran towards her.

“My lady, I am glad you are safe,” Rajah said as he was rubbing his head on her chest.

“I am glad you are back. I love you Rajah,” Silva said, breaking down into tears.

“Your master is an amazing healer,” Rufus complements.

“Yeah, let’s go inside, I am freezing,” Silva said excitedly to see her friends.

Terrance escorted her inside and a big round of applause was heard from the crowd.

“Silva, you are glowing, did something happen?” Lisa lusciously asked.

“Yes, yes, I am. Terrance and I “did it” right after he asked me to marry him,” Silva said happily showing off her ring.

“That is great, I am so happy for the both of you,” Lisa cheered.

“Thank you Lisa,” Silva said blushing.

“Yes, we are very happy and we are glad to share this with you, but now Silva has something to say, go ahead,” Terrance said looking into Silva’s eyes.

“Yes, thank you, I wanted to apologize for the way I have been acting throughout this journey. I was only thinking for myself, but starting today, we are a team and I will do anything to stop Lord Julian once and for all,”

“That is great you are a changed person Silva, but what makes you think we can stop Lord Julian?” Julius asked.

“Well, there is something else,” Terrance said.

“Yes, Lord Julian may be a god now, but he is not a full god,” Silva began saying.

“What do you mean?” Raquel asked.

“It seems I am still tied to my goddess magic because earlier this evening, I felt someone dying in the worst way possible,” Silva said about crying.

“What do we do now?” Scout asked

“I say we stop Lord Julian and get my magic back and I think I know how,” Silva said.

“Right, so how do you intend on doing that?” Scout asked.

“Remember, what Karina said, “When the time is right, I will find the home of the goddesses.” I think that should be our next destination,” Silva proposed.

“Ok, but Silva, how do you find this place when there is no record of its location? We will be running like dears in the headlights,” Rufus protests.

“Perhaps I can help. There are legends mentioning the goddesses homeland is ever moving to protect their location. Have you ever noticed the positions of the temples?” the master points out in detail.

“Yeah, I noticed, Rufus, bring up a map of the temples, I want to look at something,” Silva said kindly.

“Yeah, hold up,” Rufus said, bringing it up.

“Ok, these are the temples we’ve been to and the others we did not go to, so if we connect the dots of all the temples ... .wait…it seems like it is some kind of route,” Silva said.

“Right, but it can be in any of these locations. How are we going to find the right one?” Lisa asked.

“We might not be able to figure it out like this, but we do have the next best thing. Ladies, would you mind helping us find the location,” Silva asked kindly to the girls.

“Yes, we will get right on it,” Greer and Grace said kindly, getting to work.

“Well, since we do not have a place to go, I say we stay here for a few more days until we find the location,” Raquel said kindly happily.

“Yeah, I can use a drink,” Rufus said heading for the bar.

“So, shall we go get some sleep?” Silva said slyly.

“Yeah, sure I can do that,” Terrance agreed, following Silva up the stairs.

“Yeah, Simon, we should go pick flowers together,” Lisa said, inviting Simon.

“Sure, I can join you,” Simon said leaving the room.

“Hey, Seth, do you want to spar a little with me?” Raquel asked.

“Ok, sure,” Seth said, leaving with Raquel.

The group is having some down time before leaving for their next destination, so who knows what will happen next so stay tuned.
