Chapter 11

The night was amazing. It was everything I had expected it to be and more. Unfortunately, I awoke to an exceptionally early knock on the door. I say early, but it was actually later than I had been waking up. Christina didn’t seem to hear it, and I managed to get out of bed without waking her.

I put on a pair of pants and a shirt and went to the door. When I opened it, Gregory was standing there.

“Good morning, Archaeus. I apologize for calling at such an early hour. I understand that after General Mare arrives today, you will be departing. I do need you and those accompanying you to come by my house this morning before you set off on your travels.”

“I do appreciate your help, Gregory. We will be there soon.”

He nodded and took his leave.

I closed the door and went back to the bedroom. Christina was sitting up in bed with the cover tucked beneath her arms. She smiled when she saw me. I walked over to the bed and leaned over to give her a kiss.

“Who was at the door?” she asked.

“Gregory.”

“I guess we need to get ready to go, don’t we?”

“Unfortunately, yes.”

She brushed her hair behind her ear again and started turning a little red. “I really enjoyed last night, Archaeus.”

I put my hand on the back of her neck and gave her a long kiss. “As did I. It was a night that I will never forget. That being said, it’s looking like it may be a long time before we get another like it.”

She grabbed my arm and moved to kiss my hand. “I guess you are right about that.”

She looked down at herself. “Um… Archaeus?”

“Yes?”

“Can you leave the room while I get dressed?”

I looked at her and chuckled a bit. “Even after last night?”

She looked down and turned even redder. Truthfully, it was adorable. “I know… It’s just… kind of embarrassing.”

I wanted to tell her there was nothing about her to be embarrassed about, but as little experience as I had with women, even I realized that would just embarrass her more. I just looked at her, chuckled a bit then exited the room and closed the door.

After a few minutes, the door opened. She was wearing an outfit similar to yesterday. A plain brown sleeveless shirt and breeches. She had on sturdier-looking shoes this time though. She was also carrying a bag that I assumed was full of clothes and things she felt she might need.

“Can you put this in your bag, Archaeus?”

“Of course.”

“I’m going to say bye to Mary while you let Korana and Phillip know to meet at Gregory’s house?”

“Alright, I’ll see you there.”

She gave me a kiss and walked out the door. I couldn’t help but think it was going to be her last time in this house for a while. We would come back to it though. That much I would be sure of.

I finished packing my clothes and put Christina’s bag in my magical backpack.
