Embrace of Fire

- She smiled as she walked through the forest. The soldier had gotten away, but all had not been lost. A slow cruel expression, her eyes half narrowed. Oh, but how she would love to take him for the example. No worries. There are many others.
- The sounds of lovers in ecstasy echoed through the forest. A domain she chose as her own. Though others had as well. The smile upon her lips could only grow as flame red hair spilled down over her shoulders. Emerald eyes flicked this way and that, and with a wave of her hand she watched the branches part. There they were, a well built man, his armor set to one side, his back upon a cloak with a woman near him.
- It was too good to be true, really. But the girl, surely she's no more than five two in height and no more than sixteen, steps forward and into their small clearing. Her eyes examine their writhing forms, and a nod is given. Yes, they would do just fine. Flames erupted once more around her arms, though not her form in entirety. "Congratulations. You've been chosen."
- The suddenness of the voice startled them, and the man began to move, but his body was suddenly shoved back by great force. Fear widened in his features. The woman too, seeming to lose all control tried to scream, but found her features locked in that of pleasure. And then the fire came, and only in their minds could their screams be heard. In the last moments of their life, they both knew, both screamed but no sound issued forth.
- Then they were gone, their spirits ripped from their bodies, and a crystal imbedded in the palm of the red haired womans hand began to glow. A dim light to be sure, but a light none the less. "Welcome home, children."
- The corpses were moved, locked as they were, melded together in that embrace, by the powers of arcane art. To the Gaol they were taken, placed by an unseen hand upon their front lawn that the Guards might know.
- Her laughter rang through the forests, animals and birds startled by it and set to flee. Things will work out quite nicely.
