Claudia sat on the grass in the Garden of Innocence. She was curled up crying after Terry had left her. The earth blood elf had promised that he wouldn't abandon her like everyone else had. Yet he did it anyway. It had been necessary to tell him that one teensy little lie to get him to help her. It had been essential to find the garden and she had needed to do so to help Aaravos.
She didn't understand why Terry couldn't have just forgiven her and accepted it like all the other terrible things she did.
She was lying to herself.
He'd said it clearly, because this time she'd done it to him. When she promised she never would. Why should he keep his promise, when she didn't keep hers. She'd deserved this.
Dark magic had left her all alone except for one person and he walked towards her across the grass bathed in moonlight. The Startouch elf with silver silken hair trailing down his back, a pair of large elegant white horns protruding from his forehead. His face impossibly handsome, his skin like a starry sky and his eyes reflecting the cosmos. Whilst Claudia herself was just human, she was a beauty with porcelain skin and emerald eyes but her repeated use of dark magic had bleached three quarters of her hair white from its original black.
"I'm sorry Aaravos, I just need some time since Terry..." She bawled.
"Shhhhhhh, it's okay Claudia. Tears are natural when you feel sorrow." He spoke in his soothing rumbling tone, the wisdom of eons flowing through it.
"Why do they all abandon me? Mother, Brother, Father, Callum, Terry. Is that just my fate." She blurted through her tears.
"Claudia, most are not capable of comprehending our goals and what we have the potential to achieve. This world needs us to complete our mission and change everything. We are the only ones who understand each other. You are so special Claudia and I see that so clearly."
"Thank you Aaravos. I don't suppose you know of a way to fix loneliness and heartbreak?" She smiled weakly, tears still rolling down her face.
A half smile crept onto his face "I can think of a way to temporarily relieve it. A kind of distraction if you will."
She perked up. "Is it some kind of ancient spell? Will you teach me?"
He chuckled. "In a way, more of a ritual. Do you trust me Claudia?"
"Of course Aaravos, you've never led me astray and you've always kept your word. What do I need to do?" She looked at him earnestly.
"Take off your lower garments, close your eyes and lie back with your legs spread. Then I'll tell you the magic words." He kept his half smile.
She gave him a curious look. "That sounds kinda...?"
"I have never lied to you Claudia and I promise, your mind won't be on Terry." He said in a sultry tone.
He turned around as she undressed. She removed her trousers and her undergarments baring her sex to the cool night air. As instructed she lay back on the grass with her legs spread. A blush crept across her cheeks, here she was exposing the most intimate part of herself. A part that she had shown no one, not even Terry and Aaravos, was right there. He could turn around and see it clearly. The thought was strangely arousing.
Aaravos spoke.
