<div align="center">Akara (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=88798.msg3893069#msg3893069)</div><br/>Akara was getting damn sick of things sneaking up on her. It was a sad fact when she'd rather throw herself back into bloody battle rather the face other one of the Mistpeak witch's secrets. Had she not been in a rather foul mood she might have quirked a smirk of amusement at Rosanna. Later she would laugh about it, Adam would find it vastly amusing, summon storms. If only.<br/><br/>Instead Akara look near unapproachable her back ram rod stiff her hand balanced on her hips her eyes narrowed with distaste. She watched Angela hesitate and felt her anxiety and anger grow. She'd already asked for them to explain, how much worse could any of it be? She would already feel everything the girl would be indulging in and given her consent for the girl to do as she pleased wasn't that enough?<br/><br/>Her question was soon answer as Angela her eyes fixed away from her face and on the hilt of her sword as if she greatly feared for her life she explain Akara wouldn't only feel everything but would lose control of her body during the activities.<br/><br/>Akara didn't say a word though her jaw was tense with anger and she turned sharply pacing the room with sharp angry steps ripping her fingers through her hair in a way that was sure to hurt. Her thoughts swirled dangerously at the realization there was nothing she could do. The bond was formed and without killing the girl in cold blood even taking off the armor and never donning it again may not be enough to undo their magic.<br/><br/>"An hour." Akara agreed before striding out of the room quickly her long legged stride and her anger propelling her forward. Unless someone tried to stop her she'd march out of the castle and down to the lists where the guards and would be knights trains and where Adam lounged.<br/><br/>he'd never seen his mistress look so foully. She'd seen the devastation of towns and the death of hundreds and not once did she ever look so torn between pure anger and helplessness. The other men unused to females joining them watched as Akara shed the layers of silk that so well hid her body down to a pair of loose gauzy pants that hug obscenely low on her hips and a sleeveless top that cover her chest but left her mid drift bare. her suit of flower armor lay near transparent against her skin.<br/><br/>"Adam." She said sharply drawing her sword and flipping her hair over her shoulder letting it ripple freely in the wind behind her. Adam got up and took off his vest before joining her drawing his own blade. The two fought like dancers. Adam had strength while Akara had sped, the sound of clashing metal, and grunts filled the court yard as Akara rid herself of her her tension and Adam as always tried to show well against her.<br/><br/>Unless interrupted they would spend the next 45 minutes there fighting a mock battle until their breath turned short and sweat made their skin glisten in the bright sunlight. Only then when Akara felt in control again would she give Adam a flicker of a smile and let her give his exaggerated sigh of pleasure as they halted their game.<br/><br/>"You did better this time" Akara said breathlessly going to the side bucket and taking a drink fro the dipper there scooping up hand fulls of water to rinse her face with.<br/><br/>"Maybe I'll beat you one of these days." He said with a good natured grin flicking water at her idly.<br/><br/>Akara smile and gave a careless shrug, "Maybe. Did you see the blond girl with Aryia?"<br/><br/>"The pretty one?" Adam asked playfully causing Akara to shake her head.<br/><br/>" Angela yes. Watch out for her. She my lanley so...anyway." Akara looked uncomfortable as she picked up the silks and started to wrap them back around her body.<br/><br/>Adam lifted a hand to help her drape the fabric around her shoulders and nodded, "Don't worry about it Flower I'll take care of her."<br/><br/>"I hate when you call me that" Akara said finishing with the silk and turning to face him a stern look in her dark eyes.<br/><br/>"I can't help if that's what they call you Desert Flower." He said teasing in his voice.<br/><br/>Annoyed and amused as she usually was when faced with Adam Akara shook her head before walking away knowing he'd fall in step behind her as she made her way to meet with the others once more slowly coming to terms with how extreme the changes she was about to face were.
