Fayra sat decorously on the centre seat of the skimmer as they left the city and headed for the nearest valley. They were going on a picnic with the same rules as the day before and Keeper standing by to enforce them.

Fayra was happy to play the game, but when Victoriol began to tell her how lucky she was to have been chosen by the Anvin, she got up and walked away.

* * * *

Dayan-sur watched Victoriol return to their gathering. “Where is she?”

“She said she needed to clear her head.” He shrugged.

Dayan-sur scowled at the other Fire Bringer. The other three were on the other side of the valley in deep conversation about the competition that had brought them all there. Keeper was putting away the meal.

He hissed. “Idiot. You left her alone, and she has no idea how to survive here!”

He strode off in the direction that Fayra had gone. When he felt a particular change in the air, he began to run.

He came around the corner, and to her credit, Fayra didn’t scream as the beast closed on her.

Part serpent, part bird, the snake moved along the ground with deadly intent.

Fayra had a long stick in her hands, and she was crouched low, ready to defend herself.

Dayan-sur lashed out with a fire whip and wrapped it around the animal’s snout. He pulled and got the beast’s attention. It approached him with smooth swishes of its body, and he gathered his power, pouring a cascade of fire into the open maw.

The serpent’s thirty-foot body split and the fire exploded out of every pore.

Fayra jumped to one side and stayed out of the way as fire destroyed her attacker.

Dayan-sur admired her self-preservation instinct. It was a good thing in a Life Bringer.

The others arrived behind him, but he was the focus of Fayra’s gaze. She ran to him and threw her arms around him before Keeper could stop her.

Her kiss was sweet, and it pulled at something in his soul. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight.

Keeper was next to them. “This is against protocol.”

Fayra broke the kiss with a soft nibble on his lower lip that caused blood to pool in his groin and throb insistently.

“Tough, Keeper. I needed an excuse, and while this was a little dramatic, it had the desired effect.”

“Release him, Fayra.”

With her huge purple eyes staring into his, she smiled, “I don’t want to.”

Realizing that the men at his back were shifting with irritation, he grinned, “I don’t want you to either, but you should. There are thousands of days in our future. Give up this one.”

When Fayra released him, her clothing was marked with the dark stain from his clothing, her arms were marked with the traces from his hands, and as Keeper tried to brush her off, it was obvious that his hands had done a bit of roaming on her back.

Dayan-sur couldn’t be happier.
