Slowly opening my eyes, the smell of delicious breakfast was the first thing I noticed next to the sizzling of meat
" mhmm that smells so good. " i very slowly stretched on my blanket , feeling good after loosening up i sat up still groggy rubbing my eyes and yawning
blinking away the film on my eyes the first thing I saw was alaine bent over the fire absorbed with her cooking until she noticed me moving an smiled in my direction she was back to being clothed her eyes were normal again and her movements were less erratic ' good she was able to get herself under control.'
" perfect , breakfast will be done any minute ." Nodding I stood up doing a couple more stretches as I did alaine watched me specifically my underwear since I didn't sleep with anything other than that since I find it difficult to fall asleep if I don't
" alaine." I kept my tone even when I said her name not wanting to sound aggravated, her tails went crazy as she looked back down
" im sorry i just....im sorry." Looking back at the breakfast she flipped the meat before taking what looked like scrambled eggs of the frie to rest while the rest finishes
" I'll be right back i have to get a change of underwear I'll only be gone a couple minutes." She looked at me a little confused " why?"
" Because you peed on me a little last night and I'd rather not stay in that." Lightly sniffing the air i could tell she was smelling herself when her cheeks went a bright red " im so sorry i didn't even notice. "
" it's fine it was partial my fault on that one but I need to change I'll be right back." Disappearing i appeared in Elise and I's room bolting over to our dresser i pulled out a fresh pair then yelled for a maid
In seconds one entered the room " what can I do for you my king." Taking of the underwear I held them out to her " im sorry but take these and burn them dont tell anyone where you got them or who gave them to you , when your done burning them take the ashes and scatter them in the ocean do you understand."
I didn't want to take any chances in have Elise find out what happened although I didn't cheat on her what happened last night was right up again the it
Staring at the underwear wide eyed for a moment the took them rushing out of the room hopefully to do what I said
Teleporting to one of our many rooms I used the baths in there to quickly clean myself before teleporting back to alaine dry and now cleaned up
Alaine was sitting by the fire looking at the ground until she heard me appear again " it's ready yours is right here." Thanking her i sat across from her and began eating
" you didn't have to wait for me." I saw she didn't touch her food until I started eating." Shaking her head she looked away from me " it didn't feel right."
Signing i looked into her different colored eyes " I'll let you have what ever fantasy you keep getting lost in but remember im an already married man." Nodding she continued eating with a smile
" there is no laws against you taking a second wife." I could feel a headache coming as I heard her whisper that " alain-"
" we should get moving when we are done eating the snow is calm right now we will be able to make great time." She quickly changed the subject before I could say anything more
"...Alright." Shaking my head I just eat the food she prepared and as I expected it was the breakfast i have had since arriving in this world
.
.
.
She was right when we began our trip the weather was clear as could be allowing us to make great time in only a couple hours we were close to the cave
" do you know anything about the guardian." I asked alaine trying to be quiet
" im not sure nobody has ever gotten a good look at it ." I looked at her with no amusement on my face " then how do you know this is it?"
She looked down Seeming to relive a bad memory " one day I found myself way out here and I saw it glaring at me from that cave it has to be in there."
I didn't ask how she found herself out here obviously it was a sore spot so I let it go deciding to just trust her
" stay close to me." Staying low an moving slow i made my way to the entrance trying to be assaulted stealthy as possible but it was pointless the moment we entered the caves threshold a loud roar shock us down to the bone
Quickly grabbing alaine's arms spun her around me just in time to avoid ice shards that shot out of the ground blocking the entrance an our exit
" remember what I've been teaching you always be aware of your surroundings."
" sorry." Before we set our approach to the cave alaine put on some leather armor but the ice was able slice through it with ease
Manifesting white lightning knives alaine gripped them tightly waiting for any threats that may come her way, beside her i stared scanning a section of the cave we were hearing noise come from
Slowly stepping towards us a bear with a pure white coat making it barley noticeable if not for the purple markings covering its body
Suddenly raising both my arms in blocked something moving extremely fast towards my body if I didn't reinforce myself i would have been folded in half
Looking down I saw a club twice my size pressed against my chest, the yeti welding the weapon stared at me for a second before a second pair of arms sprouted below the ones holding the club an moved to hit me
" what the hell is a yeťis doing here their whole species was suppose to me lost."the yeťis's dirty white hair was longer then I wasn't able to withstand the force making me slide back " behind you focus on the bear I'll deal with this bastard."
Alaine moved to help me but I refocused her back to her own battle because the bear was almost upon her, hesitant she turned to face the bear just in time to dodge a swipe aiming to split her in half
I didn't have anymore time to think about her the yeťis's assault on me was ruthless swinging his club around with reckless abandon but still with know force to swat me like a fly if I don't reinforce myself to handle his attacks
As the fight went i noticed the look in his eyes wasn't entirely sane, I could tell he wasn't really there his body was just moving on autopilot
The yeťis i knew would never fight like some feral animal they were a very proud race that damn near worshipped technology and found meaning in its achievements an advancement just how many years has he been up here to end up like this
Spinning my staff around me i deflected his attacks the best i could not wanting to take them on in a contest of strength, quickly kicking my leg out to the side i tripped up the bear that was about to land a swipe on alaine but thanks to my intervention the wound he left was just a scratch
For some reason my star element wasn't working on them to well the best I could do was move them a couple inches that was it
As our fighting dragged on i waited for my perfect time to strike
' now! ' after deflecting one of his more powerful attacks i used lightning and gravity to lock his weapon in the ground prompting him to release it and punch at me with two of his arms not expecting a coffin to slam into the ground in front of me
A small Shockwave passed across the cave followed by a loud cracking sounds
As he was stunned from the pain i spartan kicked the coffin making it flying him an carry his whole being to the other side of the cave and smash into the wall causing a giant blood splatter an displacing the snow there
I took a moment to catch my breath and look over at alaine she was struggling a little with her fight but she was able to hold her own dodging out of the way of attacks like a elusive fox waiting for her opening and when she found it she left a deep cut across the creatures entire stomach
But she celebrated to early the bear was just Rearing up from the pain but to also land a blow on her ' this is going to hurt.' As she looked at me smiling not paying attention i swapped our positions in space
A few seconds after I did the pain of claws biting into my skin struck me ' of course he can also bypass my repulsion.' grunting I stuck my hand into the wound alaine made gathering my element around it
" let's see how resilient your insides are!" a second later the bear exploded into bits of itself covering me on blood
" head back to your village you should teleport there." Following a pale blue light deeper in the cave i found a crystal floating mid air suspended bt something
Taking out a container i placed the crystal in an left teleporting away to get myself some help
***
Back inside the cave alaine was in the throws of a panic attack " it's my fault he got hurt protecting me." Her pupils dilated as her hair stood on end crackling with white lightning
Teleporting back to her home she seemed advice from the two people who loved her most in this world and wouldn't lead her astray
