“The oils will be done heating up in a few minutes I promise.” She respond nipping at his finger before she stood up and smoothed the wrinkles out of her gown. Normally she had more patience than this but all his wicked promises were getting to her, if the oil didn’t heat up soon she’d have to make do. Darius was wreaking havoc on her carnal drive.<br/><br/>"Technically you were supposed to be focusing on the sand more so than the gem. The trick was to use the sand as a force to push the gem up thus levitating it. However your energy is what my mother would call wild magic. My energy is referred to as focused magic. Focused magic comes along from years and years of practice. Wild magic is the raw force behind nature.” She paused for a moment recalling something she learned in a history book as a child. Mountain Folk had shaman, shaman were masters of wild magic.<br/><br/>As she stood she posed a question before undoing the clasp that held her dress. “You're people have shaman correct? They use wild magic, it's likely somewhere in your family line there was a shaman. You tapped into it when trying to levitate the gem, but lack the control a shaman would have. It’s nothing a bit of training and practice can’t fix.” Naked now she walked over to the bed and did as he ordered kneeling on all fours above the mirror, turning her head she was able to glimpse the brand on her shoulder and her gray eyes widened.<br/><br/>It was gorgeous even though it was still a bit red, such fine line work with only a heated needle and it had taken only five minutes. “You must’ve practiced this mark many times, the lines are elegant and I’m proud to bear it.” Gentle she crawled back off the bed and pressed a kiss to his mouth. “Thank you.” She whispered “Now it’s my turn to mark you. If you want some of the food I suggest you eat it now. The oil is hot enough and once I apply the runes to my skin, it’ll be your turn.”<br/><br/>With a wave of her hand the stone vials flew into her palm and she uncorked them causing the smell of rose oil and sage to fill the bedroom. Dipping her fingers into the oil she began to mark her body whispering something under her breath. The air seemed the shimmer around her as though heat was rising from the stone beneath her feet. Once again the shadows shifted circling her, protecting her once more.
