Reincarnated into a Snow Griffin-Chapter 104

I needed some air.

I can’t say things have happened fast for he has been wooing me for years, I was not naïve enough to not notice his intentions especially as we grow up, and only I have been avoiding to even thinking about it, and that’s where it got me, confused and thrilled and in a mushy mess, I mean, did I like it, did I not? And why did a have a heavy conscious right now? Where did this keep us at? And why I had to overthink things now? And yet my mind is buzzing like it has never before, as confused as light headed and giddy.

So yeah, I needed some air, there is no more avoidance now, the cat is out of the bag again, and I cannot unseen its tail and ears poking out.

I woke up this morning after our... little section to find out that I had overslept; me, of all people!; and Ethan was gone to find more information on our mission, or so it said on his note, and gave me some money used on the island to spend in case I wanted something since the meals were already covered by the inn.

I did not take the money, but appreciated the gesture nonetheless, just too prideful to accept his patronage like this, especially since... I still had to figure things out by myself.

So I go far from all the noise and mess of the city, thankful for the wings that could carry me away no matter where I stood, so I simply take off into the air and found myself a nice place to relax, right on top of the monster’s skeleton skull head, sitting at the tip of his biggest horn and overlooking the city and the far off sea, feeling the heat of the volcano at the end of the island right behind at the southwest point in contract with the humid air that sometimes would force the wind back, many smells carried with the ball of winds.

And yet it is hard to think, I am more in a euphoric state with the aftertaste, my skin is still buzzing with the touch of his fingers, with the heat they spread and the pressure they built, the sensation beyond the effects of his bite, the mere thought of having him or myself, for being his for a moment, would bring it all up with strength, and it feels like I have kept my muscles tense and my heart heavy through my entire life, no... since that scum of a lion messed my life up, but then instead of working it over and dealing with it I got used to the pain and the tension until I couldn’t tell it was there anymore, that is, until now... it is as if he took the rooted tension knots on my back shoulder and massaged them into relaxation, and yet not only I felt the lack of tension intriguing, but was not used to feeling this... well.

So of course I would stay in such a blissful state, which only puzzled me more, have I been so hard on myself as to completely dismiss my own health like this?

I have, haven’t I? Especially that, after such a normal and happy act, I still felt guilty, still felt like I betrayed mother in a way, of allowing myself to feel happiness while she suffered in her imprisonment, from letting myself deviant from the path of saving her, even in the slightest.

Would being happy while a loved one suffered wrong? It felt like so, selfish somehow...

But what I was more surprised about was... that I’m sorry mother, but I am feeling like being little bit selfish right now, and I’m sure that if Ethan saw the silly smile I have on my face right now I would never hear the end of it, I think while sitting with my arm curved in front of me to hide my face further.

Although I still need to be mad at him, he did lie to me after all, and bite me, and is not like I have a prejudice against demons, only a few selected ones causers of our demise that aided the lion, what actually bothers me is the fact he had been hiding that from me.

Well, I could not complain much, having a similar secret of my own, but still there have been opportunities for him to say something since then, you know, you are a magical creature, I’m a demon, all set, so it does make me think there must be something else in there, something more than just being a demon...

And also, knowing Ethan as I do, he would act up like a child if I did not put some limits and I need to be hard on him for lying to me...And because I have a feeling he likes it when I act rough with him, the rascal.

It is settled then, I think I will me and Ethan a chance, after all I’m sure mother will be thrilled to see him once I get her out and- wait, should I start calling him m-my boyfriend? And I am just thinking of showing him to my family?

Brain hold on a second, let’s just... let’s just enjoy this first before anything else for once, I think while knowing I would be planning new things for us the exact same day anyway.

This is how it feels uhm? This silliness filling in my heart... I, I may perhaps already-

My thoughts are cut short when I feel a presence surge close by as if popping out of nowhere, but as I look over, having a clear view over the creature’s head and remains it is clear with one glance that I still find myself alone here.

And yet the voice that resonates moments later tells me otherwise.

’Fellow kin **** the power of those born with a frozen heart **** years lost **** ours.’ The voice sounds ancient and as powerful as the strange language it speaks in, a few understandable words thrown in between give me a general idea of its intention and makes me question if he is not speaking an old version of our current common language, but not long after I feel the pull of such powerful creatures tug, and before I know it I’m been consumed by a bright light coming from a huge blue crystal that simply appeared on the sulk forehead as the bone open right up, like a third eye sucking me in.
