I also didn't have any time to check this text so I really don't know how many horrible mistakes I have made, but please try to understand!! Heh.


Chapter 4 part a)


Midhrien felt his blue eyes widen in surprise as he now stared at the creature, who he had feared so much and who had made him to imagine all kind of horrible things. This creature, who now stood in the other side of the room, had thin but very delicate featured, womanly face, almost snow white of their colour, but still very beautiful. He had black, narrow eyebrows and black, long eyelashes, and incredibly thick, long and raven black hair, which reached almost down to his hips. Eyes were red and pupils were like cats pupils, a mere upright lines, but in the light they didn’t look half as much scary they had looked in the full darkness of the cave. The creature was wearing a black, tight, leathery garment that covered his upper body and left his arms bare, and his lower body was covered with a some kind of black dress. His bare arms were full of silvery rings like also his fingers, and he was also wearing some kind of leathery boots. Wings the creature didn’t have. Maybe he had just imagined the whole flying thing. Maybe this creature was not any kind of demon. Midhrien definitely hoped that was the truth.

The creature smiled, and actually the angel wasn’t very afraid at all any more, but he was still studying the creature with care. He was moving towards him, and when he moved, he did it with beauty and gracefulness, then asking: ”What iss your name, beautiful one?” Midhrien swallowed. Somehow he managed to falter: ”Midhrien…” The creature smiled again. ”I like your name. I think it iss beautiful. My name isss Akissar…” Midhriens eyes widened in shock again, not because of this creatures words, but something else. His voice wasn’t evil, but as he had spoken he had done something, that didn’t make the angel feel himself good at all. He had shown his shining, white fangs and a tongue which was something that a snake would have, it was two barnched… So that was why that creature talked like that, hissing! In fear Midhrien tried to withdraw in the bed, away from that creature, but his back was so hurt and he couldn’t really move almost at all. Those stumps in his back felt even more sensitive they had before, and suddenly he remembered how that creature had promised to him, that he could one day fly with his wings again. What a liar… It couln’t be possible in any way ever, he could never get his wings back. Tears of pain flowed down his cheeks and he closed his eyes, laying his head against the soft garment of the bed, shaking mizerably.

Akissar had not expected this. This angel called Midhrien was crying! He had expected something whole lot different, maybe some kind of fear, but not tears. But then he sensed that the crying was not only for fear, it was also from pain, and carefully he approached the angel, finally sitting in the bed, reaching to touch gently those golden locks. Midhrien quivered and made a heatbreakig little sob.

”You are hurting, right?” Akissar asked quietly. ”And you want that pain to go away. And I promisssed you your wingss, didn’t I? I can do it, if you let me to… I’m not all that evil I may look like, you see…” After saying that he made a little grin, but he became serious very soon. ”Really, I wasssn’t joking. You do want your wings back, do you?” Midhrien sobbed quietly, fisting his little hands, then faltering out: ”But it’s not possible… They are gone, I can’t get them back… They are broken and dirty and I can’t get them back…”

”I will”, Akissar said solemnly and stroked the angels hair, and he felt the touch of those sharp fingernails on his scalp and trembled, but in other hand that touch didn’t feel too bad, it actually comforted him a little, kind of.

”I will give you your wingsss. No sit up and look at me.”

Midhriens body was so hurt and he was so very scared, but somehow, though very clumsyly, he managed to get to a sitting position, and drawing in a deep breath he raised his head, his lips trembling. Akissar looked at him deeply with his red eyes, and then he suddenly raised his both hands in the air with his palms up, closed his eyes and then, from nowhere, there appeared a pair of bloody, dusty, broken wings.

”See, I had them with me all the time.” Akissar smiled a little and then came nearer to the angel, sitting right behind him. Gently he touched that bruised and wounded back and those bloody, still bleeding little stumps, making Midhrien to inhale deeply, squeezing his eyes tightly shut in pain – it hurt so much! ”Jussst like that”, said Akissar hoarsely, taking the other damaged wing in his hand, holding it near the other bleeding stump, not quite touching it, though, so that no more innecessary pain would be caused. ”Keep your eyess closed and try to sstay calm, it may hurt a while.” Midhrien just nodded and feared the worst, but the pain was over almost immediately, and then he didn’t feel bad at all, and when that short, little wave of pain shot through him another time, he didn’t even stir. Cool hand wandered past his wounded back and Midhrien felt a little tingling sensation, and then he realized he could feel his wings again.

He had his wings! Tears flowed down his cheeks, but this time they were the tears of joy. He was feeling whole again! He turned around easily now when he wasn’t in pain anymore, and looked in those red eyes with his own eyes full of tears, sighing: ”Thank you…” Happiness in the angels eyes was the most beautiful thing Akissar had ever seen, and he made a little, hoarse laugh, then landing his hand on the angels shoulder. ”Well, it wassn’t so impossible, now, was it? But now you can take your clothes off.”

Bewilderment in Midhriens face could be clearly seen, and the raven haired man grinned devilishly. So chaste acting, so suitable for a heavenly creature like this… But he understood that this beauty called Midhrien might think the most horrible thoughts after what he had just said, and added: ”You are dirty. You need to bathe, and you need a new costume. It is definitely not appropriate for you to wander around with bare chest, for all to see. /Except me, of course…/ Akissar thought in his mind, but that he didn’t of course say out loud. He was watching Midhriens face, which weren’t so bewildered anymore, but still a little hesitant.

At first Midhrien was very shocked about Akissars demand to take his clothes off, because the way this creature, Akissar, had told him to do it… It had made his mind full of weird, scary thoughts he didn’t completely understand. There was nothing bad in bathing, of course, but he realized he had to reveal his secret, the thing that he was sexless, and it made him very ashamed at the moment. Here in earth he was the only one without sex, he was deficient and incomplete, and he feared what Akissar would think, but he didn’t see any other chance than to obey. And so he got up from the bed, starting to unlace the strings that hold his dirty garment which was tied around his lithe waist. He did it as slowly as he could, and when the garment finally fell on the floor to his feet, Midhrien let his head to hang down in shame, trying to cover his most intimate place with his stained wings. He could feel that look of Akissars eyes in his skin, and it felt very awkward. In the Heaven they angels had been bathing together very often, but they had all been the same kind. Here he was the only divergent creature…

Akissar raised his bow in amazement as he watched his beautiful angel, and he couldn’t understand why was it that this angel was sexless. But then, when he thought, he believed he understood in a way, and somehow this thing felt almost natural. Midhrien was angel after all, and gods had their own wicked ideas… And even though Midhrien was like that now, time would chance everything. Time always chanced things here in the earth… Midhriens body would chance, even if the angel didn’t know it yet. Well, he would learn soon.

Akissar too rose from the bed grabbing in Midhriens arm, making his body once again shiver by that firm touch. Dirty wings were trying to cover the most intimate parts, where wasn’t really nothing to see. ”Come now, little one… There’ss nothing to be ashamed of. Come. You do want to get clean, don’t you? I can wash your wings if you like…” Midhrien tried to smile a little, and he really tried to believe in Akissars words but it felt impossible since he had seen that look in his eyes after Akissar had realized he was a sexless monster. And yet, when he remembered how his angel friend in Heaven had always helped him to clean his wings, he let a smile slowly creep on his lips. He so missed everything in Heaven, and this simple offer Akissar had made make him feel like he wasn’t so far away from home after all. Also Akissar smiled in his mind as he saw how his angel now smiled the first time, and when that smile lighted the angels whole face he looked even more beautiful than he had before. ”Come”, he told again and led the angel away from the room.

Midhrien looked around in this big, white bathroom made of marmor, and he almost could not believe his eyes. There was a huge, stone made, round pool in the middle of the room full of steaming water, and everything in this room was decorated with gold and silver, and there were golden shelves on every wall, and the shelves were full of so many beautiful objects and sweet scented herbs. Midhrien looked at Akissar who nodded and pointed the pool full of steaming water. Shyly Midhrien went and touched the water with his hand. It was warm but not too hot, and slowly he slid to the pool and went to sit so that his wings were outside the pool. Akissar walked around in the bathroom, gathering those nice scented herbs, but the water was so nice and warm and felt so relaxing that Midhrien didn’t really care what Akissar was doing. Until he felt how some herbs were scattered to the water and then there was a warm cloth caressing his skin.

He opened his eyes and was staring at Akissar. His red eyes were watching him closely, his lips were parted just a little bit and turned in a little smile. Midhrien swallowed, feeling himself very uncomfortable. The way Akissar was watching him was not normal. There was something… passionate, and it made him worried. Hesitating Midhrien closed his eyes again anyway wanting so hard to trust this Akissar, and he breathed in the nice scent of those relaxing herbs, feeling Akissars hand to move on his body. It went from his face to his neck and then it was on his chest, washing the dirt off so very softlly, and those gentle caresses caused Midhrien to slip in some kind of peaceful drowse.

He woke up to reality when Midhrien touched his face and caressed it a while. He blinked a moment and then realized he was completely clean, and before he even knew, he was being lifted and the raven haired creature carried him back to that red covered bedroom, lowering him inthe soft fourposter. Right after he was sitting behind him, starting to rub his wings clean, so gently and oh, how sweet it felt… Closing his eyes Midhrien smiled again, even forgotting his longing for Heaven for a few moments, and also all other bad things in his mind. He felt now that he was safe for some weird reason, as strange as it was when he thought that he was alone with a creature, who had those red eyes and sharp fangs and that horrible, snake like tongue… Akissar hadn’t still done anything to hurt him though, and it was enough to make him feel safe, at least a moment. And the main thing was he was now in a nice and warm and well-lighted place instead of that horrifying, dark cave.

Finally Akissar got the last blood stains away from Midhriens wings and they shined now brightly, so white they were, and he was very satisfied with his job. Besides the angel had been so trusting and peaceful the whole time he was washing his wings, and it really made Akissars old and hardened heart melt to go warm in a way he had never experienced before. He stroked Midhriens golden hair and rose from the bed, raising his hands up, and then Midhrien saw that there had appeared many beautiful clothes out of nothing, and they were now hanging in the air. Midhrien gasped surprised, looking at the clothes his mouth open, and then he turned to look Akissar. What kind of magic did he use? He had not thought it before when Akissar had healed him, but this new trick made clear his power was not normal. Should he be worried..? Akissar did not want to hurt him with his powers however, didn’t he?

”Well now, which of these clothes would you like to use?” Akissar asked, touching the clothes, showing them to him. there were so many colours: black, red, purple, white and blue like a sky, and all clothes were long and a little gown like, but still very beautiful, and with many little embroideries. It was so difficult to choose because they were all so beautiful in their way, but finally Midhrien decided to take the white, wonderfully decorated gown with long, silvery sleeves.

Akissar took the cloth smiling, giving it to Midhrien. ”White, huh? Well, I thought you would choose that. It takes a while to use the other colourss.” /It took a while with me also…/ Akissar thought in his mind. ”Now let me help you with that. Your wingsss make it a little difficult, I see.”

Clothes disappeared from the air with one move of Akissars hand, and he came to Midhrien, touching his wings gently. And then he realized he didn’t feel his wings! Anxiously he turned around and looked at Akissar with fear in his eyes, but Akissar just smiled reassuringly, whispering: ”Don’t worry. Your wings are safe. They didn’t go anywhere. Now they don’t bother you in any way. I will teach you later, how to do this little trick, hm? I know you can learn it. you are an angel, nothing less. But now, raise your arms so I can dress you…”

Midhrien obeyed, still a little amazed about how his wings had just disappeared like that, and soon he was wearing the beautiful, white dress, and Akissar was once again caressing his hair and face so gently, whispering his ear: ”You are very pretty… Do you know that..?” Midhrien sighed and closed his eyes. Akissars body was so close to his own and his hot breath that came against his neck, and he wasn’t used to be this close to another person. He didn’t know how to react. Akissars hand moved slowly down to his chest from his hair, and it was there a moment, touching that firm and frail body of his. But then Akissar realized what he was doing and moved quickly away. He wanted Midhrien to trust him, he could not do things like this yet! Midhrien was an angel, he wouldn’t understand his desire for him, and he definitely didn’t want to make him afraid – or even worse, make him to hate him. He had to restrain his feelings!

Thinking like that Akissar stood up and went to the door, turning to look at his sweet angel, who answered his gaze with his big, blue eyes full of innocence. ”I will send you food. You have to be hungry by now, even though you may not realize it… When you have eat, you can rest. I will show you the place later.”
