Chapter 44: A Peaceful Time until It Grew Dark

It has been a few days since Silva and her friends decided to stay at the guild hall for some much needed downtime. Most of them spend their downtime making new friendships, while others head into the city to gather supplies for the next leg of their journey.

As for Greer and Grace, they have been using their Intel-Magic to crack the location of where the goddess’s homeworld will be. Since they are the geniuses with that type of magic, they are able to handle whatever is thrown at them. Their magic is the most powerful in the world, but they manage to keep it hidden for a long time. Funny enough, the guild master hid a few gifts himself as he is also gifted with Intel-Magic, so he is a big help.

Silva did not care how long it would take because at this time she is finally able to spend the much needed time with Terrance. They mostly stay in bed after their episode by the cliff as they want to spend every minute of the day in each other’s arms. Today of all days, they decided to stay in bed enjoying the warmth of their bodies with sex.

“Silva, wow, you are amazing,” Terrance said, having her wrapped in his arms and kissing her lips.

“Why thank you? It was not all me you know. You were great too,” Silva said, before teasingly kissing his chest.

“Maybe I should have proposed to you sooner and we could have gotten here sooner,” Terrance teases.

“If you did do it sooner, this will never happen,” Silva teased.

“Yes, I guess you are right, so the seduction techniques I learned failed,” Terrance said.

“What do you mean by seduction techniques?”

“As a knight we are trained in every kind of skill in getting a woman to speak when we need them to or getting into….”

“Getting them where?”

“In bed.”

“Oh, that is why you are so good at this. You slept with other women before.”

“I’ve been with women before, but never slept with them.”

“So, I am your first?”

“Yes.”

“And what about you?”

“If we are being honest, I’ve been with Rufus in bed before, Julius, and some other guys in bed, but FYI you are better than all of them combined.

“Oh, really?” Terrance asked.

Quickly Terrance puts his body on Silva’s, slowly pressing his body onto hers, as she lets out a small moan. The pressure felt so good on her body making her want even more and holding her moan inside as she held tight on the bed frame. Lowering his head even further down to her cave and starting kissing her hard. Silva, enjoying this feeling, still wanted more.

“More,” she whispers.

Terrance flips her over on her back and starts tracing her back with his fingers. He leans down to trace kisses on her back all the way to her lower back. Then Silva lifts herself up and pushes Terrance aside, so she can have a turn with him. Terrance is surprised how strong she is pushing him down. Silva, now being the dominant one on top, starts kissing him on the lips and later all over his body. It seems they were creating electricity between them as sparks were passing through them.

“I love you,” Silva whispers.

“I love you too,” Terrance whispers back.

Not holding anything back they resume their love making like they do not have any care of the world and they are only committed to themselves.

Since Silva’s friends had nothing better to do besides hanging out in the guild hall, they decided to spend time with the twins helping them to find the goddess’s homeland. It is a tricky place to find, but it will not be easy to get to.

As usual, Rufus has something to say. “Seriously, how long does Silva plan on staying in her room? When we slept together at least we did get out of the room to deal with jobs,” Rufus said, sipping his beer.

Raquel hears this and slaps him on the face leaving him a pretty big mark on his face.

“Do not be saying such things in front of the girls or you will have to deal with me,” Raquel threatened him.

“Ouch, if I knew you loved being rough, then I would have taken you to my bed a long time ago,” Rufus teases.

Raquel slaps him again. Showing now to never mess with her and now he has two bruises on his face. It did not matter to him because now he is even more interested in Raquel than ever before and he is going to try to win her over.

“Come on ladies, let’s do the research someplace else,” Raquel said, taking the girls away from there.

“Auntie Raquel, you do not have to worry what that fool says we already know about sex,” Greer says.

“How do…?”

“We are all know, remember,” Greer replies.

“Right, I forgot about that.”

Before making their way out of the mess hall, Simon stops them in their tracks.

“Yeah, guys, come here, Lord Julian is on TV,” Simon said, turning up the volume.

“Good evening, we are reporting live, from the capital. As you know the capital is still grieving over the loss of the Guild King as the new Guild King will be taking up his new position soon. As for Deputy King Dina, we are not sure as to way she was passed over for the role, but we will find out soon enough. Now we have some breaking news to share with you, as you know our great goddesses have always protected us and have been known as to be chosen for this role. In recent events, it has been discovered that our great Lord Julian has declared himself as our new god. It is unheard of, but we will support him in whatever he does. We even received word that our great king has surrendered his power to Lord Julian in the sake of saving his people and family, but no word what he will do with all of this new power. Even we are receiving reports from other kingdoms, who just in the past hour have joined his cause and as for the guilds no word yet on their response.”

A brief pause from the reporter was a bit of a shock, but it was to bring Lora Julian into the screen.

“Thank you for your reporting skills, but I will be taking over this news report. Citizens of the capital and kingdoms from here and abroad, thank you for taking your time to hear this report. Now to make things plain and simple, every person on this planet has three days to surrender to my command or I will have you killed in front of everyone in a public execution. If you want to spare your life, track down this harlot Silva of the Desert from the kingdom of Earthnia and I might let you live,” Julian said before signing off.

“Hey, someone get Silva! She needs to see this,” Rufus shouted.

“No need, I am here, what is going on?” Silva said coming down the stairs.

“Your ex is on TV,” Rufus explained.

“I knew he was a snake, but I never thought he would be this bad,” Lisa said in shock.

“I cannot believe he is doing this to innocent people, even the king gave up,” Raquel said, even angrier than the others.

“Yes, if this keeps up, he will have an army big enough to track us down and have us killed because we are your friends,” Seth warns.

“In that case, we have to stop him before this even gets started,” Silva says.

“Yes, but you are the prime target. How are you going to stop him?” Lisa asks.

“That is easy, you are not coming with me,” Silva spits out.

“What!?” Everyone shouted at the same time.

“Yes, I cannot risk your lives again to save me. You are all like family to me,” Silva says.

“We started this journey together and we will finish this together,” Lisa declares.

“Yes, same with me,” Raquel said.

“Count me in,” Rufus agreed.

“Ok, I get it. You all want to come with me, but you are risking your lives,” Silva pleas.

“With you we are always risking our lives. That is what makes this journey so exciting,” Rufus points out.

“Yes, if you did not go on this journey mommy, we wouldn’t get to see you again,” Grace said, hugging her.

“Thank you my darlings,” Silva said, hugging Greer and Grace.

“Mommy, we wanted to let you know that we finally found the location of the place you were looking for, but we only have a week to get there,” Grace explains.

“Thank you my darlings, I knew I could trust you. I love you,” Silva said, kissing the top of their heads.

“Yes, it seems this secret location is located on the outskirts of the city of Plum City Forest, it is secluded, so it is perfect for us to get around,” Greer finished up.

“Let me check on that,” Rufus said, taking out his map.

Rufus spreads his map to view the location. “Hum, according to this map, it is not easy to get to, but it will take two days to get there. I suggest we leave tomorrow.”

“Yes, I agree, we leave tomorrow,” Silva declared.

“I will see to the supplies,” Lisa runs to get her purse.

“Good, master, I am putting a request in to gather all the guilds that are still loyal to the league and bring them here. I believe you have the shield I have given you. Use it to protect the guild hall and make sure no one finds us,” Silva orders.

“Of course, and maybe, you can give me something in return,” the master whispers in her ear in that voice that annoys her.

Silva freaks out and runs across the room and hides behind Terrance for protection.

“Oh, I guess my little plaything does not want to play,” the master said, pouting.

“No way. Come on Terrance, let's get back to our room, dragging Terrance behind her.

Terrance and Silva are once again alone in their room and decide to undress themselves and spend more time in bed together again. Only this time they decided to take the short version of their sex time and have a real conversation.

“You know you are doing a brave thing you are doing,” Terrance said brushing her hair.

“Thank you, but I am not sure I can do this. Taking a mad-man on who stole my gift to be a god and having my friends risk their lives to help me. I don’t think I can lose you again,” Silva said, kissing his lips.

“Silva, there is something else you must know.”

“What is it?”

“Remember back in the moon village where Millianna sacrificed herself in order to save her family?”

“Yes, I do.”

“I am saying when the time comes. I would be glad to give my life to save yours.”

“Are you insane? We just got back together and you want to throw it all the way.”

“If it helps you to keep your humanity, then I will do anything for you.”

“Terrance.”

Before she said another word, Terrance kissed her thinking this might be the last time they will be together and wanted to make the most out of it.
