Reforging Destiny

Her tail swayed back and forth against the plush furs and beneath the long, sheer robe that was draped around her body while she continued to wait, shifting and stretching out more comfortably on their makeshift bed as she eagerly awaited the arrival of her soon to be soul mate. She had wanted her challenge for him to be a real challenge and didn't want to just hand him the prize, but at the same time she wished he was already here and that she had made the challenge easier or shorter just to have that immediate satisfaction. She knew that in the end it would be more than worth it regardless and she hoped that Saracyn would be just as happy as she imagined he would be when he finally arrived.

The sound of large paws lightly thudding against the ground outside made her white-tipped ears perk with interest and her dark gaze lifted up toward the entrance of the alcove once more with an eager hopefulness and moments later her twin's familiar scent reached her on the soft breeze that blew through the Sound, telling her that the moment she had been waiting for had finally come. His handsome face that mirrored her own came into view and a smile pulled across her lips, her cheeks flushing and heart skipping a beat in her chest at the breathless way he spoke her name when he saw her. Before she could even greet him or ask him what he thought, Saracyn was moving toward her and all at once her new mate had claimed her lips with a passionate kiss and she was immediately swept away by him, her eyes fluttering closed with a moan of her own replying to his as she easily rolled onto her back for him while his larger frame covered hers. Any thoughts that might have been on her mind were instantly scrambled in the intense spark of their love and lust for one another. A heated gasp passed her lips as Saracyn broke the deep kiss he began, her ebony gaze fluttering open to a heavy lidded look of desire as she looked up at her love who eclipsed her view. A whine of need escaped her as his affections trailed across her face and jaw, moving down to her throat and causing her head to tip back for him as her back arched and her forelegs slipped around his neck, more than ready to give all of herself to her lecherous twin.

However, Saracyn's whispered, husky reminder of the vow that she was to deliver reminded her of why they were here in the first place and she had to force her mind to refocus at least long enough to deliver the words that he prompted her for. Her words were breathless and punctuated with soft gasps whenever he would catch a particularly sensitive nerve at her throat with his teasing and tempting that made it incredibly difficult to focus. She did her best not to miss a word of her practiced vow, not wanting to slip up on the slightly amended ceremony that she had worked on just for the two of them. "Ancients, we come to you as one heart and one soul... He knows my soul and carries it with him in each of his steps, just as I do with his. We are one being in two bodies, as you made us to be..." Her toes curled, holding on to the thick fur of his scruff as she tipped her muzzle down to his cheek, brushing her muzzle against the edges of the flame-like marking that glowed just as brilliantly as her own. "We vow that no one else shall know our hearts nor our souls for the rest of our days. We do this with the knowledge, understanding, and acceptance that we will have no one else in life or in death... We–" Her words cut off with a gasp for a moment as Sara's frame pressed more firmly into hers, pulling another whine from her before she managed to continue on with their vow. "We will walk together as your chosen children in one spirit to share your strength and your power till the day that we walk together into the hall of the Ancients... Together we shall intertwine in death, granting our strength to our future generations so that we may live on in them. We bind our souls together with this vow. I name this man, Saracyn Mendacium, as my mate."

Avacyn leaned back from Saracyn then now that their promise and vow was made in the eyes of the Ancients. Regardless of whether or not they would actually approve of this union was still to be seen, but when she caught Saracyn's bright gaze with her own she couldn't deny the way her heart felt so incredibly full nor the all consuming desire that ran through her and made her skin feel as though it were lit by electricity everywhere they touched. No one else mattered. As long as she was able to make Saracyn's dream come true and make this life for them then she knew she was doing something right. Her paws trailed away from the back of his neck as a grin played on her lips, lifting away the necklace that he carried with him and lifting it over his head, taking the token he brought for her. In exchange she took off the heavier chain that hung around her neck, lifting away the darkened steel pendant that had been resting against her chest while she waited on him and turned it to slip it over his head to replace his token for her with the one she made for him. The angular pendant that now rested on his chest harkened back to the pointed shards that made up her glowing marking with a polished piece of obsidian sitting as the centerpiece to match the color of her eyes–something that she hoped would remind him of her as he wore it, but would still be subtle and masculine for her handsome mate.
