"Good morning Madam, please let us help you to start your morning day."
Elora's face had turned red and felt panic when the two ladies maid entered. She feared they might discover what had happened last night. However, remembering she was in the man's bedroom she knew there was no denying her guilt. She accepted the assistant of the two maids knowing she can't hide the truth from her aching body, which moreover reminded her of the soft kisses and the delicious touched from the man from last night.
Although it was something unfamiliar, it was something so delicious and at that moment she knew she craved for that mans touched that had possessed her body with passionate pleasure. She welcomed his advantage and now she was feeling an addiction she cant understand.
"Where is that man from last night?"
"You mean the master, Madam." They looked at each other then answered together. "WE CAN'T SAY."
They covered her with the softest cloth. And she continued to wonder about the man from last night and wondered if he was her master. They lead her to the indoor oasis for bathing and undress her again. She stepped in the water and they followed while undressing themselves.
Then as they stepped down she looked at their naked body and it was scaley almost fish like skin. Their face, shoulders, neck, feet and hand were similar to hers but the rest had scales shade of blue and white. She looked at their breast and it had no nipples. And what was suppose to be their private part was nonexistence. What kind of creatures are they? She wasn't at all scared so perhaps she knew of them.
"We are not at all similar in form."
"Yes Madam. We are but a mere creature -we are called Sharena. Unlike yourself."
"Unlike myself? Do you know of me?"
The maids soaped her chest which made her looked down on her breast and noticed the bruises everywhere on her. Elora touched her skin observing closely the bruises from the touch and kisses from the man last night.
"They are called love marks, Madam." The ladies maid informed her when she began soaping her inner thighs.
"Please. May I bathe my own."
"But, Madam..."
They protested and she moved a few steps away from them. One of the ladies maid opened her palm on the water and she had emitted a blue light from her palm. Then when she touched the water it listened to her command to send a water wave that pushed Elora back forward closer to them.
"You have magic."
"Madam. Being a Sharena it is a mark of weakness to use magic in the land."
"What do you mean?"
Full of shame they bowed their heads while Elora had began soaping herself and allowed them to help her wash her back and her hair.
"My name is Nell and this is Rell, we are water creature and we have the ability to manipulate water. We were born from the water when it hits a certain light from the moon. When we set on land to do our female hibernation we are forbidden to use our magic. So when we do use magic our time is drained and it is showed when a strand of hair becomes gray."
"I see only a few strands of gray."
Elora smoothed Nell's hair and saw that her pride was hurt. They helped her dried and helped her dress into a ruby lace robe. It was smooth and shimmered from the light.
"It is but a few but it grows heavy on our our pride when our clan knows of the faults of our weaknesses."
"I'm sorry for causing you pain."
"No madam. It is but a reflection of our own sin and the challenge of the suffering we must endure to sacrifice before we returned to the water, our home when we show we are worthy to go back the water shall cleansed our sin and become Immortal again."
Left alone in her room for the duration of time when Kran was away gave her time to explore the books in the surrounding shelf in the bedroom she had given. The reading area close to the fire, stairs to a veranda overlooking the Valley of Water and the mountains that protected it. She opened a book that made no sense to her but in time she had read more than she expected.
"You have other mysteries." Kran said that last night. Will she find the answers about herself in the books? This motivated her even more to read and further during the week she had discovered similar marking on her bracelet. It was a marking of a seal, to seal magic, to seal something of any kind, a person, time, space or even memory. Someone sealed her memory in there.
It was almost dinner time and all the questions in her head was making her dizzy so she laid in bed trying to remember herself before she came to the castle. She remembered the Stardust forest where she was lost for only a day and someone captured her to be sold as a slave only to find out she was this Lady Elora. Time had past into weeks and she had learned only about the bracelet. One of the ladies maid awaken her and informed her that Kran awaited her presence for dinner.
After weeks she had not remembered the mans face and yet she had dreamth of him. Had even craved his lips and his touch. There was excitement and nervousness but mostly there was hunger she did not understand. Where could have he been and how could she have left her for weeks without any word?
She entered at the dining room and surprisingly her body felt hot when she saw Kran which reminded her everything they did weeks ago. Her skin burned and the memory of their passion ignited inside of her. He got up and bowed his head when he saw her then wave his fingers for everyone to leave.
She walked close to him like she was hypnotized then reached to sniffed and licked his neck. Strangely it was done unconsciously and she quickly step backward upon realizing the mistake she had made.
"I'm sorry I didn't know what I was doing."
"My Lady please lets continue what you started,"
He grabbed her waist and pulled her back against his chest. Embarrassed her eyes unfocused and perplex. His hands graze her waist and bottom while lightly clasping the soft cheek. She holds both his arms for support and he pressed her further up to him making her arch her neck exposing to his kisses.
