Welcome Home!

Their cave was made mostly of onyx and amethyst with a few emeralds, sapphires and other things mixed in. There was a place all the way in the back that Keena had turned into a room. She pushed aside the skin covering the door and stepped through.

The lush bed made of extremely soft furs was still there as well as the fire pit still packed with fresh wood and kindling. Another door off to the side with another skin was where a hot spring made up their bath.

The gave constantly glowed purple giving light, but Keena went to the pit after setting their things down and built a fire before sitting back on her elbows. "How long should we stay love?"

She laughs and closes her eyes. "How about forever? The Council men will die by then."

She nodded. "That is true..." Keena let her voice die off as her thoughts filled her mind.

After Zain had rescued her and finally propose they had agreed to come here, after Gaia had suggested it to Keena. They had fallen in love with the quiet serenity of the place because the nearest village, town or city was about five days ride away.

She rolled over onto her side, her head resting in her hand as she looked at her husband. "So what shall we do first? Perhaps a swim or a hunt?"

She smiles. "All right." She goes and grabs her bow and arrows. "Shall we go? Oh and try to keep up this time would you?" She asks as she walks from the cave.

At once Keena takes to the surrounding woods like she is one with it. Her movements silent as she moves searching for prey. She stands still and catches a slight sound and turns to run off to the left, a buck bounds off and she laughs as she begins the chase.

Keena leaps and bounds over objects in her way with all the grace of a wolf, finally the buck comes to a cliff. Before it can leap, Keena knells and notches her arrow. She takes careful aim and lets the arrow fly through the air. The only sound is the buck as it cries out and then falls to the ground dead from a shot through the side and straight into the heart. She smiles and rises to turn and face Zain.

"Perfect, now carry this back for me would you love?" She jokes.

She nods,"Yeah that is about right." She laughs at his look. "Oh love, you are more then that and you know it. In fact I think I will show just how much when we get back to camp and clean up during our swim." She then turns and starts to head back.

They make it back to the lake and she points to a rock for Zain to lay the buck down. Once he does she immediately starts cleaning the buck. At once her skin and clothes become covered with blood, but once everything was done she took the mess into the woods and buried it. She laid the skin out to dry and hung left the deer by the rock where she could keep an eye on it. Then all at once she leapt onto a crystal and dove into the waters.

The water was always clean thanks to the magic of the crystals, so the filth that came of Keena disappeared in seconds, leaving the water sparkling.

She surfaces and smiles at him after smoothing her hair away from her face. "Water feels good, don't you think."

She smiles as she swims over to him and puts her feet on the soft sands of the bottom allowing her to stand next to him, the water coming up to her shoulders.

"I am sure the water could get nicer though." She says with a sly smile on her lips.

She smiled and ran a hand over his body, the clothes wet and clinging to his skin. "Don't you know love?"

She smiles seductivly, "Then I suggest you put them to good use milord...before I disappear like a dream."
