Persius wakes up six hours later, feeling a bit out of it as if he had drank too much before he slept, and groggily slumps out of bed, almost falling over to use the bathroom. Then he goes to the dining room and realizes it's night time. Ohhhh I gotta be quiet. Would anyone even be up right now?
Persius peers around the corner of the dining room and sneaks to the kitchen, all the way to the fridge. He opens up the doors to get a piece of some cake. Mmmmm cake! He turns around and sees one of the Sisters behind him, smiling.
Persius: Holy shit! *almost drops the cake, screeching a bit* You scared me!
Golem: -she looks up at him, her voice is softer than Clover and Jasmine. This golem has short low twin tails instead of the usual long hair- Apologies. Are you hungry? Would you care for dinner? What would you like?
Persius: I am pretty hungry but I don't want you to cook anything, it's late and everyone is asleep. Also…can I call you Autumn? You remind me of a nice breeze during that time. *he pulls his sticker book out of his shorts and pulls the sticker off but doesn't put it on her without consent*
Autumn: ..I enjoy this name, I will accept it. -she leans forward so he can put the sticker on-
Persius puts the sticker on her head and smiles: I'm glad Autumn. Now I wanted to know something, is the goddess up right now or are we the main ones up? Also do you just stay in the kitchen?
Autumn: I am usually in the kitchen, the pantry, or the market. I do the shopping with a few of my Sisters. The Goddess has retired to her room for the evening once she put the Prince and Princess to bed. I am preparing for tomorrow's meals. I am happy to make you dinner if you are hungry.
Persius, twiddling his fingers: Can I help you with prepping? I'm up now and I wish to do something and I would rather not leave the temple at this time...if that's okay. I can cook quite a decent bit.
Autumn: I do not require assistance with preparing the menu for tomorrow. However if you wish to lend a hand you may take the Prince and Princess their late night snack. They are awake, currently making a blanket fort.
Persius: They are up? And making a blanket fort? That's fair, it's not like they have anything else to do. But I can bring them a snack, what do you usually give them?
Autumn: -she hands him an already prepared tray full of small cake bites, chocolate covered fruits, chips, and drinks- Kuro and Garnet are outside awaiting this tray. They will lead you to the Prince and Princess' suite. When you return I will have dinner ready for you.
Persius: Okay thank you Autumn. *He leaves and finds Kuro and Garnet exactly outside, waiting. He hands them the tray and they take him to a part of the Sanctuary that is a bit deeper and almost shrouded, as if there's this black veil hiding them. Ahhh of course she wants to protect them. He steps through and continues on with the two golems. He finds the kids in this beautiful night sky playroom under a big blanket fort, with a small candlelight wisp, trying to look at some books, he can hear them laughing and murmuring and Persius finds it very cute: hehe..*ahem, they don't hear him so he gets down and lifts the blanket slowly* Hello you two, up so late?
Adrian: -they squeal and he throws a pillow at him- You scared us Persie! Why are you back here?
Persius catches the pillow while laughing but doesn't enter the fort: Kuro and Garnet escorted me with your snack tray. Plus I was hungry too, I just wanted to say hi but you both can go back to doing what you were doing hehe.
Adrian: …Did you have a good nap? Do you feel better now?
Persius: I do just hungry now *he sits down on the floor while talking to them* Did you both sleep well?
Ra: Yeah I did, but we always get a bit hungry around this time. *she whispers to Persius* I just think it's cause Addy doesn't sleep through the night and I don't want to leave him alone…
Persius: Heheh awww that's sweet!
Adrian: Hey I heard that! You're the one who doesn't sleep through the night. -he pouts- You came to my room and asked to make a fort..
Ra: I thought a fort would be fun! Plus you were up already! So *sticks her tongue out*
Persius: Alright you two, hehe, they have your snack tray, I can put on a nice movie while you eat your snacks?
Adrian: -he hits Ra with a pillow- Admit you just wanted snuggles agai- oooh a movie sounds nice.
Ra and Addy come out of the fort and sit on the couch and Kuro and Garnet bring over the tray with snacks and drinks setting up the warm, recliners and the projector while Persius sets up the movie.
Persius: Okay so I think you should watch Trollz, have you seen it yet? *he's clicking buttons to get the projector ready and Garnet touches him to gently show him the button to bring the projector down and turn on the movie, he mouths "thank you" to her and she curtsies softly and goes to sit by Ra* It's a pretty good movie.
Adrian: -he puts Ra's favorite blanket on her- I like that movie! Ra loves it too.
Persius: Well great! *puts on the movie and waits for them to get comfy, looking at the gesture with amusement but not saying anything, once they are good, he turns it on a nice volume and leaves them to enjoy the movie and snacks* Have a good night you two. See you tomorrow.
Ra: Good night Persie! See you tomorrow! Thanks for putting on a movie!
Adrian: -he's already yawning- Good night Persie! See you for breakfast~!
Persius waves to them and then goes back to the kitchen: Hey Autumn, I'm back. I don't need anything big, okay?
Autumn: -she puts a small charcuterie board on the large island- I felt this meal would be easily digestible for the time of night.
Persius: Ah thank you Autumn, this is perfect. *takes it and leaves out the kitchen* Good night, see you for breakfast. *He starts going back to where his room was but finds himself curious for where Aiah's room is, this temple seems large yet fairly simple…hmmmm he wonders should I be curious? I don't remember my dreams much…only that I smelled a familiar scent that belongs to her…mmm. Eats more of the food. Mmmmmmmm so goooooddd! He walks around deeper into the Sanctuary and finds himself in a long hallway…that seems to just keep on going no matter how long he walks and every door he tries to open is locked, even though before this hallway all the doors were open to him.
Persius: Hmmm that's interesting, I don't remember these doors being locked. I wonder what's behind them. *keeps walking and starts to feel this deep familiar tingly feeling, magic in the air* Ahhh this has to be close to her room, it feels completely different than anything I've felt before though. What kind of goddess is she?
Persius keeps going until he thinks he sees a slight ripple at the end of the hallway but then feels a hand on his shoulder, which spooks the shit out of him.
Aiah: -she appears behind him and puts her hand on his shoulder- Are you lost?
Persius: Ah!!!! Oh shit..ummm goddess, I..yes I was lost, and just wandered a bit..I…should try to find my room. *tries to go around her without looking at her* ah shit she's going to get me, I hope I don't get in trouble!.
Aiah: Heh you're pretty far in…I'll take you back. Follow me. -she turns around and starts leading him back down the hallway-
Persius follows her: So…this is a long hall, I don't remember it being this long before heh. But ummm I have some charcuchie here that I was eating. I'm surprised you were up. I hope I didn't wake you.
Aiah: You didn't wake me dear. I felt someone was lost so I came to check.
Persius: I see…would you like to talk a bit? um…I guess I just wanted to say hi. But I didn't want to disturb you although I wondered if you did sleep or if you just…laid there…do you lay by yourself or…with…ummm*blushes and stops* well once I'm in my room I won't be lost again.
Aiah: -she laughs quietly- I rest mostly. When need be I sleep…and I've slept by myself for quite some time.
Persius: You don't have anyone? Or anything? It's just…you? *keeps walking but not looking at her*
Aiah: Heh it's just me. Not many ask to stay in my bed anymore.
As they continue walking down the hallway they come to a door that's partially open that wasn't open when he came down the hallway the first time. As Persius looks in and passes by he can see a large vanity, a wall with many odd treasures on it, a large bed with massive posts and beautiful canopy, and a balcony door. But out the window of the balcony doors the sky looks very different, almost like the sky was lit up with an entire galaxy.
Persius is perplexed by the night sky and then the door slams: wah- oh. What was that!? That didn't look like our night sky at all!
Aiah: -she looks over her shoulder at him smirking- Is something the matter dear?
Persius: *starts to follow her and catch up to her* No No nothing at all…What was that? She definitely doesn't want me seeing into her room but that sky…was like an entire galaxy…it was beautiful..
Aiah: -she stops in front of a door and opens it revealing Persius' room- Here you are dear. Try to keep your wandering for the daylight. Oh…and thank you for putting the children back to bed.
Persius: Huh? How'd we get here? Also my room is in the same hall as yours? I don't remember it being over here otherwise…it would've taken me way less time to get to my room but…*he turns to her* Thank you Goddess! *bows to her and then takes her hand and kisses it softly* You are very gracious. Is…before I go to bed…would you like tea some time? *looks at her, and blushes, finally seeing her, and she looks so beautiful with some of the moonlight showing on both of them from a window to the side, her eyes have the tiniest sparkle of some mischief and then goes back to full neutral*
Aiah: -she smirks- Our rooms aren't in the same hall hehe…And tea would be..nice. -she gently touches his cheek and her eyes soften for just a moment- Sleep well.. -her eyes go back to neutral and she turns away and leaves-
Persius looks at her as she's leaving, her hair moving like the wind of night in Baehalan, he turns and goes into his room and puts the board on the nightstand: Mmmm…so…fine…mmm *he lays down and just thinks about that room, the fact that he knows they walked in a straight line but he just passes out over time*
He wakes up in the dream and realizes things are very different but it's almost like he knows that, he is in a completely different bed and feels like it's a completely different time. His hair is much longer but as he is thinking of these things, he pulls the sheets up and Aiah is sucking on him while looking at him as he moans. He starts putting his hands in her hair, groaning deeply.
Persius: Aiah…come here please. I want us to connect. *he beckons her on top of him* I want you. *his present self is wondering what the fuck is going on but this self seems so used to it, he's never thought he would ever see her like this and starts blushing from how intune they are with one another* Wow she's so fuckin' hot!
Aiah: -she kisses up his body and sits on top of him, straddling his lap- Mmm~ hehe eager tonight my love~?
Persius: *he groans from the kisses and puts his hands on her hips, looking at her giant form as she's moving slowly on his dick* Mmmm a little I've just been craving you more today and I want you now. *he grips her hips and sits up, licking her nipples and tracing his claws down her back*
Aiah: -she trembles lightly and her back arches as she lowers herself onto him- Aaa~! Gods you feel so good~..
Persius, moans deeply and holds her to him and starts thrusting into her: Aiah! You feel so nice! Oh fuck…it feels so good each time, like I'm melting. *kisses her deeply and kisses her neck and bites her* mmm you melt me my love. What the shit! Omg do I really become a concubine?
Aiah: -she drags her nails down his back and rocks her hips on him- MMm my sweet love~...my darling hu-...-she gasps and stops, gently pushing him back- …Again?...it's not time yet…
Persius tries to hold onto her: But I like it here…why can't I be here? What time do you mean Aiah? *and it's the present version talking to her* We are together? Am I a concubine? Oh shit you…I..ooooo Is this how good you feel? You feel so good, why would you want me to leave this or you? *looks at her, and blushes so deeply and feels so much* Ohhhh…Aiah…
Aiah: -she covers his eyes again and that warm gentle feeling comes over him again- Stop wandering…it'll come when it's time…until then Persie… -she makes him fall asleep again-
Aiah! He falls back to a dreamless sleep…slumber taking him over. The night is calm again as he slumbers through.
