Tria activated her golden eyes and looked into Chukah's body, she saw a dark power struggling to come out but Chukah's will seem to try to keep it closed in. Her eyes returned back to normal and she silently looked at him, as she figured out why he didn't tell her.
"Chukah, you will always be my big brother, no matter what. Stop fighting it and let whatever is inside you go wild. You will become much more powerful then, so just let it out and overcome it."
Chukah stared at her, and noticing the seriousness of her tone, he knew she wasn't kidding, she really would not judge him if he was to let the beast sealed inside him out.
He almost teared up, but he simply stood up and patted Tria's head with brotherly love. Tria felt his pat and just stuck her tongue at him. It was time to sleep, so she wished him good night and went inside.
Tomorrow is the day when Crei will come get her, and like a young girl in love she twirled her way to the bed and jump on it landing on her back. She wondered what he will be preparing for their meeting.
The day after, she woke up in that same position, realizing her mistake she ran to a mirror to check her face.
'Nooo, my eyes are puffy!' she cried in her mind. She remembered t that her meeting with Crei wasn't till later, so she just made a mud mask to revitalize her skin. She did not have any other plans for the day, the others are training and they had already started preparing for the big day. So, she was free to do whatever she wanted today.
She dressed up and went in the back garden of her courtyard, so she could make herself a scented bath for later. She had practically gone through all the flowers, smelling them one by. If anyone passing by would have seen her, they would thought she was deranged, why is she smelling the flowers like a crazy bee for?
Well, she was using her powers to detect the freshest essence of the flowers and pick out the ones which will have the best effect for her bath.
Finished, she brought a basket of flowers back inside and started pulling petals away and placing them into a big wooden tub. She had repeated this process so many times that by the last round she ended up being covered in pollen dust and broken petals.
Mexi had come with breakfast for her, and she ate it all one go, there was more she had to do. She went through all of her dresses, trying them on one by one, but she could not decide on any.
Therefore, she decided to make her own, so she sent Mexi out and to buy fabric from some stores nearby. She loved the newness and the types of fabric the Earth Land people wore, so she did not hesitate to start sowing away. By the time she was finished, it was already afternoon, but she wasn't worried. Tria had her bath with the flowers seeping out their essence ready, she had her dress ready, everything else she can do after.
There was still over three hours left until sundown, but she had already jumped into the tub.
'I want my scent to stay with Crei even after we're done with the date.' She laid in the tub leisurely as she played with the water, humming songs from 'Earth' as she scrubbed the petals against her skin. Tria has been absorbing earth energy, so she was able to mimic the earth land's people's ability to keep the petals fresh. She had stayed in there for hours until it was finally time to get ready.
She used her powers to dry herself and slid into her new pretty dress. It was a white strapless dress, with multi-layers from her thighs down, with the top lining up her front and back curves, tightening around her breast area, it was a really marvelous dress. She had her hair pinned up at the front, letting the back hang loose, and wore some local leaf sandals with flowers intertwined.
Mexi who came to announce Crei's arrival, saw her and became mesmerized by her look and the smell of flowers made her even more hypnotizing.
Tria made her way out towards the front gates, where Crei was patiently waiting beside a beautiful carriage.
He was wearing a white tunic, sowed with golden thread around the neck and wrists area, making him look very noble. When Tria walked outside and saw him she was surprised that they were wearing the same color and really happy to see him.
Crei was also delighted to see her and was awed by how beautiful she looked. He felt proud that he chose this color to wear tonight, otherwise, he would have been bummed out to pass on such an opportunity.
Smilingly, they greeted each other, and Crei helped her up the carriage. Along the ride, they had simply stared at each other quietly as they studied each other's features. Crei really couldn't get enough of Tria's beauty, to him, she was getting more and more beautiful by the day. His eyes hovered over her curves, and more grown as well, he thought sneakily. Her flowery, alluring fragrance filled the carriage, and he was just taking it all in.
Tria who sat opposite of him was not shy in checking him out either. It wasn't until she saw him that she realized how much she missed him. This man will forever be handsome, but what she was really attracted to, were his eyes that seemed as if they could see inside of her soul, and those seductive lips drawing her attention. She then looked down at his hands, she imagined those large warm hands wrapped around her, sheltering her from the cold winds.
Tria and Crei, were both lost in their own imagination as the carriage nears the outer parts of town.
