				The sun was setting and the full moon just barely peaked over the horizon behind him as the man walked along the road. He was a tall and muscular man having the build of a traveler, hunter, and warrior. Under the hood of wolf pelts people could see a hint of deep green eyes and as he pulled it down everyone could see the short brown hair as well. His clothes werent made of wool, linen, or anything like that. He wore a patchwork slew of animal pelts and leather, ranging in color from brown's to black. Yet on his back was a double edged ax that shined with a silver sheen<br><br>The town was large by the standards of eastern border towns. There might have been almost a thousand people total in it and it supported many shops, restraunts and inn's. The man entered the city easily enough, looking about at each person that he passed as well as at the variety of businesses.

				Celeste pushed a strand of her long blond hair out of her face before begining another tune on the small lap harp.&nbsp; The people near her place by the fire went quiet to listen as she began to sing.&nbsp; It was a western song, full of waves and movement and the sounds of the sea.&nbsp; She closed her eyes as she concentraited on the music, pretending that she was back home, her brothers and sister siting around the fireplace at night as she played.&nbsp; She shook her head and opened her eyes before tears could form, she didn't need to think about the things that she would never see or have again, it did her no good.&nbsp; <br><br>The innkeeper watched from his place behind the bar, it had taken all of her charm to convince him that letting her play for her room and board would be worth it, the place had filled up quickly once everyone heared that there was some entertainment to be had.&nbsp; Bards were few and far between when you got this far east.&nbsp; Her Storm colored eyes scanned the room, watching for trouble, or anyone that showed too much interest.&nbsp; There was one in every town she had been in, a man who thought that just because she was beautiful and pour he could buy a night with her like so much grain.&nbsp;

				The door opened with some amount of force as the tall man walked inside. A cool breeze blew through the building as his deep green eyes traced around the establishment for a moment before he stepped inside and closed the door behind him. He immediatly took note of the woman with the harp though he wasnt sure exactly why. Still he tried to brush the thought away and walked toward the counter, pulling out a few coin's for the bartender. "A drink and a meal please." he said in a gravelly voice.<br><br>He had that foreboding look about him, like it was just trouble to get to know him and it made the bartender act quickly, bringing him a raosted phesant and a mug of cheap alchohol. "Thank you." was all he said as he took the plate and mug and went to sit near her. His eyes traced over every inch of her once again, finding himself fascinated with her for some reason. It bothered him though, he had seen beautiful women before, even taken many to his bed yet he had never quite felt like this just when looking at any woman.

				The chill wind drew her attention the the man at the door, chillbumps crept across her skin, though they weren't from the cold.&nbsp; There was something about him... something oddly familiar.&nbsp; She shook herself and concentrated on the music again.&nbsp; She chose a livelier tune, something that quickly had the patron's tapping their feet.&nbsp; It was one of the first songs she had ever learned, she knew it forwards and backwards, which meant that she could give more of her attention to the giant of a man who was taking a seat close to the fire. <br><br>She noticed him look her over and blushed, looking away before he could catch her staring.&nbsp; She was getting distracted and her fingers were beginning to hurt.&nbsp; She decided to stop after this song, she could get something to eat and try to figure out what about the man had her so distracted.&nbsp;

				There was a slight sign of disappointment as the song ended and for a few moments he continued to watch her. However as his stomache growled loudly he turned back to his meal, tearing off a wing of the roasted bird and starting to eat. He wondered why he seemed so fascinated with her presence, had he just been in the wilderness to long without company? It seemed unlikely, he had gone far longer in his journeys then the two week travel to here but he couldnt discount the idea all together.

				Celeste went to the bar and waited for a moment as the innkeeper went to the kitchen to get her something to eat.&nbsp; She took a sip of the slightly sour ale and grimaced, she couldn't remember the last time she had tasted something that she would have considered good.&nbsp; The Innkeeper gave her a plate with some sort of stew and a chunk of bread and she went back to her table, sitting with her back against the wall so that she could see the rest of the room.&nbsp; She ate slowly, watching the stranger through the fall of her hair as she ate.&nbsp; He was handsome in a rugged kind of way. She shook the thought from her head, she didn't need a companion for the night, it would only invite trouble.<br><br>She grimaced when one of the other patrons stopped at her table and sat down, never asking her permission to do so.&nbsp; "Are your hands as good at playing other instruments?" he asked suggestively, reaching across to caress her hand.&nbsp; She pulled it back sharply and moved as far away from him as she could, she knew his type.<br><br>"Please just leave me be," she said quietly.<br><br>He grinned, his friends cheering him on in the background.&nbsp; He reached for her hand again, forcing her to pull further away, making herself a tight ball against the wall.&nbsp;

				He looked over and watched what was going on for a moment before standing and walking over to the table. He placed one large meaty hand on the man's shoulder as he looked down at him, not just because he towered over him but because he also thought of him as trash. "Thats enough. She doesnt appreciate your advances and this seat's taken anyways." he said in a matter of factly tone before his fingers curled around the shoulder and shoved him down on his back. <br><br>As the others jumped up in defense the large man reached back and grasped the moonsilver ax on his back, pulling it up so they could see how easily he held the heavy weapon in a single hand. "Walk away before you all get hurt." he said in a menacing tone. <br><br>The others turned away, grumbling something and in response he only secured the weapon once again before taking a seat across from her and continuing to eat. For now he wasnt going to say anything, just listen.

				She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly inched back towards her food, watching him closely.&nbsp; She wasn't sure why he had helped her, but she was grateful.&nbsp; It was more than most people would have done.&nbsp; "Thank you," she said quietly, picking up her spoon she began to eat again, though truthfully the encounter had left her without an appetite.&nbsp; She took one last bite and began to push the food around in her bowl absently.&nbsp; <br><br>"My name is Celeste," she finally got up the nerve to say, holding her tiny hand out towards the stranger

				He looked up as she gave her name but waited till he swallowed the bit of phesent. "Its a pleasure Celeste. I am Voor." he replied as he gave her a gentle smile. Reaching down he took the mug and brought it to his lips, drinking thirstily. "Are you not hungry now." he said as he pointed at her plate and how she wasnt eating.

				She dropped her hand and shrugged mentally, maybe they just didn't like to shake hands in the East.&nbsp; He had a nice smile, it made his face look more gentle.&nbsp; The thought made her blush and glance down at her plate with a grimace.&nbsp; "No, I seem to have lost my appetite." she said quietly.

				"Meeting someone new can do that." he said before cracking the ribs of the bird open and tearing some of the breats meat from it. He was methodical about it, putting the meat and skin on one side of the plate and the bones on the other but it was obvious that he wasnt used to using things like knives and forks. "I enjoyed your song. It was like looking upon the rising sun when the dew is still settling on the grass. Meaningful and beautiful."

				She glanced up at him in surprise, searching his eyes to see if he was teasing her or trying to be cruel, like so many others had been recently.&nbsp; When she realized that he was serious her face lit up with a smile.&nbsp; It changed the way she looked, she wasn't just pretty or even beautiful, she was stunning.&nbsp; Her grey eyes sparkled with the intensity of her pleasure.&nbsp; <br><br>"I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a song that my mother taught me when I first started playing," she said, wondering for a moment why she would share something that personal with a stranger.&nbsp; "Is there a song you would like to hear?&nbsp; If it's one I know I will play it for you," she offered, it wasn't something that she had offered anyone else since she had been forced to travel a few months ago.&nbsp; It gave her pause and she looked at Voor more closely, wondering what it was about him that made her feel that she could open up to him.

				He shook his head back and forth for a moment as he watched her, still smling. "Song is not something I know much about where I come from. Often the only music I heard was a primal beat as we rejoiced around the fire and payed homage to the gods for a successful hunt or a bountiful harvest. Perhaps you can share others though."

				She thought about it for a moment then nodded, moving the plate of food further away she picked up her harp and began to play.&nbsp; It had a more intense feel to it, the background almost like a heartbeat.&nbsp; The ballad would have been easier for her to play on a lute or with an accompanying drummer, but she managed well enough.&nbsp; It was the story about a hunter who went too far into the Wyld and managed to kill a mythical creature. It highlighted his bravery and wisdom.&nbsp; She continued to play after the ballad was done, though she stuck more to music that didn't require her to sing as well.&nbsp; <br><br>After a few more songs she stopped, some of the patron's complaining as she did, and sat there watching him with a slight frown on her face.&nbsp; She couldn't shake the feeling that she should know him, that she could trust him. It made her uncomfortable, she wondered for a moment if he was messing with her thoughts, then shook the thought away.&nbsp; She looked him over again more carefully, she finally noticed the moonsilver Axe attached to his back, she hadn't looked closely at it until now.&nbsp; Her eyes widened for a moment in surprise before she looked away, trying to collect her thoughts.

				"That was wonderful." he said before eating he last bit of phesant and putting the plate to the side. He took a moment to drink down the last of the mug, not allowing a single drop from escaping his thrist, and then wiped his mouth clean and set that to the side as well. He noted how she looked away from him and it made him wonder about her, perhaps he should have left her be? but he knew that wasnt possible, something about her made him continue to watch her and regard her with some manner of adoration but he couldnt understand why.

				She fidgeted, trying to find something to do with her hands now that she wasn't playing.&nbsp; She had this desire to run her fingers through his hair.&nbsp; The thought made her blush again and curse under her breath, what was wrong with her?!?&nbsp; Something made her look over towards the door, some sense of something wrong.&nbsp; <br><br>The man who walked in was nondescript, the type of person that most people would overlook in a crowd.&nbsp; He scanned the room, his eyes resting on her for a moment, then looking at her dining companion sharply before moving to take a seat near the door.&nbsp; She wouldn't normally have noticed him either, but his bearing screamed Immaculate Monk.&nbsp; He might not have been in the robes, but she had run from enough of them over the last few months to know what one looked like, her only question was wether he was just passing through, or here for her.&nbsp; <br><br>She swallowed audibly and glanced at her companion.&nbsp; She had thought that they wouldn't come this far East, not into Lunar territory, but she had obviously been wrong.&nbsp; She huddled in on herself and began to carefully pack her harp.

				Voor had noticed the man too, he made it a point to always have his face toward the door of the establishment. "Celeste?" he said softly as he reached over, setting his hand over hers. "Theres someone here looking to kill me. After I take care of this, would you play something else for me?"

				The thrill of his skin against hers distracted her, it took her a moment to realize what he had said.&nbsp; She gripped his hand before he could stand up, her eyes wide.&nbsp; "He may not be here for you," she said quietly for his ears alone.&nbsp; The idea of him getting hurt sent a wave of fear through her, she didn't know why it was so important that he be safe, but in that moment she didn't question it, she just held his hand tightly and looked him in the eye.

				"Then who?" he asked in a quiet tone. His eyes traced over to the possible danger and then back toward her, smiling warmly once agian. His hand slowly curled along her own and his thumb slowly ran back and forth over her skin. He didnt know why but just having her so close like this felt right

				She cursed herself for a fool, wondering yet again what was wrong with her.&nbsp; The feel of his hand in hers, his thumb moving across her skin felt so good... so right.&nbsp; <br><br>"Me, I think he's after me," she finally managed to say around the lump in her throat.

				He nodded slowly with a bit of suprise in his face. To think that she too was Exalted. It was easy to see for him with the moonsilver ax and all but she was far different. "Then lets take care of him together. We cant just wait for him to strike when we are asleep and seperate so how about you and I retreat to your room. Im sure he will follow and then we can make sure no one else is caught in the battle."

				She hesitated for a moment then nodded.&nbsp; "Alright... I don't know how much help I will be, so far the only thing I have found that I am good at in regards the the Wyld Hunt is running away," she said truthfully, somewhat embarrassed.&nbsp; She quickly finished packing her harp away and cradled it in her arms as she stood.&nbsp; <br><br>She felt the absence of his hand in hers and it was almost painful, perhaps she could ask him about that later...

				He stood and took her hand again, taking a step closer to run his hand along her cheek and lean in to kiss her cheek. "Just play along." he told her before stepping away and leading her upstairs and into her room. When they were inside he closed the door and set his ax down before taking off the cloak and vest so it would look like he was partially undressed. "For now, lets just kiss and wait for him to think we arent paying attention."

				The feel of his hand against her cheek made her close her eyes for a moment and she swayed towards him as he led her up the stairs.&nbsp; She had never been this drawn to anyone, never wanted anyone as much as she wanted him.&nbsp; <br><br>She watched the play of his muscles across his shoulders and chest as he took off his cloak and vest with fascination.&nbsp; All she wanted to do was run her lips and hands across them.&nbsp; She shook herself and looked at him for a moment in suspicion, wondering if this had all been a plan to get her into his bed.&nbsp; <br><br>She was stiff in his arms as she looked up into his emerald green eyes.&nbsp; She licked her lips nervously.&nbsp; "Alright," she whispered.

				He noticed the nervousness of her and let his hands relax as they set on her hips. His head tilted to the side as he looked into her eyes, then turned to look at the door once, and then back at her. "If you're having second thoughts we could think of another plan to ambush him." He had to admit that bieng torn from her right now seemed like the worst fate he could suffer but at the same time he wanted her to be comfortable with him

				Her eyes softened at his words and she smiled slightly up at him.&nbsp; He could feel her relax in his arms.&nbsp; She raised a hand and placed it against his chest, lightly caressing his skin with the tips of her fingers.&nbsp; "No," she whispered as she stood on her tip toes and barely touched her lips to his.&nbsp; "This is a good plan," she whispered against his lips.

				"Good. I was afraid that you would be uncomfortable with it." he whispered before leaning forward and brushing his lips against hers as well. As he kissed her he felt like there was nothing in the world that was more important or more intense then kissing her. He couldnt explain it, couldnt understand why he felt the way he did, he only knew that in that moment nothing was more important to him then her.

				She felt a void that she hadn't known existed within her fill at the touch of his lips.&nbsp; She pressed her body against his, a moan catching in her throat as she deepened the kiss, her tongue sliding along his lower lip.<br><br>She never wanted the kiss to end, she forgot about the Monk, she forgot about her fears, in that moment there was only him, only the feel of his lips against hers, the beating of his heart against her palm.&nbsp; For the first time in a long time everything just felt right.

				He pulled away just enough for their lips to part and as he looked into her eyes his hand brushed against her cheek again. "I want you." he whispered in a barely audible voice yet the passion and need was there. Like her, thoughts of the monk were already gone. She was the only one who existed in this world and he desperatly wanted to take her to bed and make love with her till they both were exhausted and couldnt move.

				"Yes," she whispered.&nbsp; She wanted to feel his skin against hers, to run her hands along his body.&nbsp; She blushed to hear herself agree so readily, but she couldn't seem to take the word back.&nbsp; She put her arms around his neck and cradled his head, pulling him down into a deeper kiss.

				The moment he heard her say yes he leaned forward and kissed her with every once of his being. The hands that were on her hips moved behind her, wrapping around her back and pulling her so close that only the animal pelts and linen of her clothes seperated them. He walked her over toward the bed slowly, not wasting a moment in the soft and deep kissing of her lips. <br><br>While they stood at the side of the bed he forced his hands to pull away from her, first pulling the massive ax from his back and setting it against the nightstand before untying the few cords that held his patchwork clothes to his body. As he took off the thin leather shirt she saw a barrel shaped chest with an impossibly muscled frame and his skin tanned and yet smooth to the touch

				She allowed herself to do what she had wanted to do since she first saw him.&nbsp; She ran her hands along the muscles of his chest, slowly moving her hands down his stomach.&nbsp; <br><br>She moaned against his lips, her hands never leaving his body.

				After a moment he kicked his boots off and then reached down and pulled the cord free that held his skirt and breeches on and they dropped to the floor easily showing muscled hips, legs, and a thick and hardened manhood. In his naked glory he was indeed the sterotypical full moon, made of pure strength, stamina, and flexibility. <br><br>As he stood there naked he pulled her close again and then reached forward to slowly undo the buttons of her blouse, letting each garment fall to the ground. Their lips broke for a moment and he looked into her eyes smiling "Do you like me?" he asked in a curious tone

				She heard the rest of his clothes fall to the floor distantly, but she didn't see him until he broke the kiss and began to slowly undress her.&nbsp; She gasped slightly, her eyes widening at the sight of him, a nervous flutter in her stomach.&nbsp; <br><br>She looked back up at him as he asked her a question, it took a moment for it to register, but when it did, it brought her back to herself enough so that her heartbeat sped up, partially from fear, partially from anticipation.&nbsp; <br><br>"I don't know you," she whispered breathlessly.&nbsp; "I like your body, even if it does scare me a little," she said honestly.

				he nodded slowly and forced his hands to stop and set on her hips again. His eyes stared into hers with genuine passion and desire as he considered what to do next. "I...I dont understand why...I just know that nothing feels as right as kissing and holding you. I've given many women children and taken many lovers but you are so much more then a person who wants my seed or a person to warm my bed. I dont know why and I know that even though we have just met that we are ment to be..."

				The crash of the door made her jump and scramble away from Voor.&nbsp; The violence of the Monk's entry pulled a scream from her lips.&nbsp; She dropped to her knees beside the bed and scrambled through her things, looking for her dagger.&nbsp; It wasn't much, and it probably wouldn't save her if things went wrong, but she would at least die with a weapon in her hands.&nbsp; <br><br>A fiery halo surrounded the Monk, swirling with power as he ignored Voor and threw a bolt of fire towards her.&nbsp; She spun on her knees, the bolt singeing her shoulder as it passed her by, making her gasp in pain.

				His knees bent as a reflex and he reached down, taking up the ax as he focused his power. His whole body grew to almost double its size and took on beastial form similar to an anthro-panther. He didnt waste anytime in dashing forward and swinging the ax wide, making no attempt to pull the blow. He was aiming for his chest and had a definant intent to kill.

				The monk bent backwards, his body at an impossible angle as the axe swung over him, barely missing him.&nbsp; He finished the move, flipping backwards out of Voor's reach.&nbsp; He crouched there for a moment then sprung towards Voor, his fist seemed to burst into flame as it came into contact with his chest, sending Voor stumbling back.&nbsp; <br><br>He was pulling his fist back for a second punch when Celeste found her dagger.&nbsp; She flipped it in her hand so that she was holding the blade and flung it at him, a sharp golden glow lit the blade just before it sank into his side.&nbsp; It didn't kill him, it didn't really even hurt him that much, but it did distract him.

				The monks attack made him take one step back and steel himself. He called on everything he had in that moment, the strength of the panther, the skill of his training, and the experience learned from his battles. This time he stepped forward putting everything he had into this blow and he knew that without a perfect defense the monk would be cleaved in twain.

				She watched him for a moment and realized that he wasn't going to take no for an answer.&nbsp; She turned away from him to strip, slowly removing her skirt and tunic.&nbsp; She had to stop halfway through and take a deep breath to build up enough courage to finish.&nbsp; <br><br>Her skin was pale ivory, smooth, not a blemish in sight.&nbsp; Her hair fell down her back in a golden wave, shimmering slightly as she moved.&nbsp; She turned back towards the tub and climbed in, sinking into the water with a groan, an unconscious declaration of pleasure as the water closed over her body.&nbsp; The heat of the water made the tight knots in her back loosen, for a moment she forgot that she wasn't alone.

				As she undressed he stepped into the bathtub and laid back with his back toward her, giving her that privacy to undress no matter how much he wanted to watch her. He took a sponge and ran it over his chest where the monks blood had spattered onto him. "This is nice." he whispered while leaning back and closing his eyes. It was one of the few pleasures he got from civilized life but it was definatly one he thoroughly enjoyed

In time their bodies would twist into abberations of beings that should never have been possible." Then he moved her hand up to the back of his shoulders and neck. "In time the warriors were divided but battled on, destroying those that changed because of their enemy's power and eventually they drove them back into their world." Finally he pulled her hand to the front of his chest and stomache. "Today they still battle on, but they are the sole reason for their worlds freedom."

				She grinned and fell back to follow him, shifting the pack on her back to a more comfortable position.&nbsp; She watched him walk before her and wondered, not for the first time, how her life could have changed so much in just one night.&nbsp; She had never believed in love at first sight, in fact she had been raised not to believe in love at all, only duty, but here she was.&nbsp; The only thing she could think to call it, the only thing that seemed to fit was love and that both excited and scared her.&nbsp;

He looked around for a few minutes and then broke off a thin yet long tree limb and began to sharpen the point. "Have you ever spear fished before?"

				He chuckled for a moment and then handed her one of the sticks. "Sharpen the point, you want the point sharp enough that it can easily peirce flesh. Then we will wade into the water slowly. Theres a little trick to spear fishing though. When you see the fish you want to thrust the spear just below where the fish is. The water plays tricks on the human eye and makes us think they are higher in the water then they really are."

				He leaned over and kissed her cheek before staring back in the fire. "Its too bad we dont have an old deer skin drum or something. Some music and fire dancing would be perfect for tonight. Usually we would have festivals at the change of each season and then either there would be a massive orgy by the fire or lovers would retreat to their tents and spend the evening making love to eachother."

				"I could play something if you liked... I know it's not the kind of music that you are wanting, but it is music none the less," she offered, ignoring his comment about an orgy with no small amount of difficulty.&nbsp; While that type of thing wasn't at all uncommon back on the Blessed Isle, it was something that she had managed never to participate in.

				She yelped and reached down to grab his hand, a slight frown on her face.&nbsp; She looked at him for a moment then sighed, the frown fading as she lifted the shirt herself.&nbsp; The wound looked clean, he could already see some of the new skin filling in the edges.&nbsp; "If you think it is necessary," she said with a wrinkle of her nose.&nbsp; She didn't relish the idea of messing with it, even something so simple as cleaning it with water was going to make it hurt again.

He realized that it was going to hurt but he kept thinking of her as a person who was not exalted and so had been thinking to err on the side of caution. "Alright then.

				He set out each bedroll and layed her down in it before laying beside her with his chest against her back and his hand moved around to the other side and storking her stomache till she fell to sleep. Whe she was passed out he got up and took a short trip into the surronding area, covering their tracks and then setting up a number of snares that would catch anything larger then a rabbit and make a ton of noise when they went off. <br><br>After about an hour he came back and layed down beside her agian, this time closing his eyes to get some rest himself, having confidence that they precautions he had taken would insure their safety for the moment.

				Sometime during the night Celeste's consciousness faded, she was trapped in the blackness of her dreams.&nbsp; Her skin grew almost cold to the touch, her body shivering and moving closer to his as she subconsciously sought heat.&nbsp; A fine sheen of sweat covered her body as the poison from the arrow finally fought past her defenses.

				If Voor hadnt been trying to be quiet he would have growled after hearing that but instead he reached back and pulled the moonsilver ax from his back and held it in one hand as he listened carefully. He found himself wishing he knew the area better so he could set up an ambush for them but for now he sat back and listened carefully, ready to commit the important details to memory and find them once Celeste was better.
