"So, we all set to go?" Meikai asked with a raise of his dark brow and Tatsumiya smiled at him very gently as Old too her hand-er well limb.
"Yes we're all ready to go." Tatsumiya replied with a smile and they all climbed onto the boat and with a small lurch and they were setting off towards Star Island.
He stayed in his spot, his hair ruffling softly as they sailed along the bumpy water but it was all the more relaxing to Meikai as they moved along and he smiled in relaxation as the waters pushed them forward. It was something about the warmish cool air that brushed across Meikai's face, the way the boat would sway, bump along the water in a way it soothed him, the way the salty scent of hte sea would fill his nose, the dark blue of the water would fill his vision and the sound of it moving along was just. . . something else that was completely amazing.
He smiled gently to hismelf as they moved forward, the soft voices of Tatsumiya and Old were just barely audible, Meikai closed his eyes allowing the sensations to over take him and he he smiled gently loving the sensations that screamed "home" to him and he opened his eyes slowly, the sunlight growing dim and he wondered faintly how long they'd been going along but then again the afternoon time-er, two in the afternoon to be specific- the sun tended to go down faster as it made it's decent in the sky and though Meikai had no qualms or any worries he began to wonder just faintly who this woman was and what exactly she was capable of, if she was a threat or just a simple woman. Meikai furrowed his brow softly before the water began to get loitered with stars that his heart suspiciously lurched in his chest. Huh, weird.
"Tatsumiya! Old! Get ready to pull into the dock!" Meikai shouted out as he looked over his shoulder and he heard muffled replies and smirked. Those two were both so cute sometimes that Meikai planned mentally to give them a little more hell like he did earlier.
He was grateful to know that they actually heard him when they turned into the island and docked thankfully. He was the first one off practically and was running down the dock and across the sand leaving Old and Tatsumiya behind but he needed to get to the peak of the island. His eyes flickered up to the sky seeing the moon was already coming out so maybe the woman would be there already.
She had to be. He ran up the path quickly, his cape he normally wore fluttered behind him and his brow hair fell into his face a couple times as he heard Tatsumiya calling for him but he felt utterly compelled just to get to the peak and sea this woman. He finally caught sight of the crescent moon shaped tree and when he got there he stumbled slightly then bent over bracing his hands on his knees sucking in breathes before straightening up as he walked forward to the tree pressing his palm to the rough bark when he heard soft little swishes of feet against the grass the surrounded the trees and he blew out a soft little breath.
"Who're you?" A soft, sweet musical flowed over to him and his heart stuttered in his chest and he turned his head just a little bit. That certainly wasn't Tatsumiya.
"I am Meikai the Sorcerer. Who are you?" He asked still not looking fully at the owner of the sweet voice and he braced his hands against the tree lightly before pushing away from it.
"I'm no one of important, Sorcerer. Can I ask you what has brought you to this Isle?" The woman asked as she walked a little closer and Meikai turned around only to have his breath get caught in his throat. The woman that was walking-no it was more like FLOATING- to him was utterly, heartbreakingly beautiful in every way shape or form that beauty could come in. Her hair was so long it looked like it had no end as it flowed from her scalp, the color a beautiful white color but in the setting sunlight he could see it wasn't just white but had soft undertones almost of blonde but it was all faint her lips were full and perfect. Her eyes however, those eyes just sucked Meikai right in. They were a very soft yellow color like that of the moon and they were so beautiful and alluring that the words that went through Meikai's mind seemed to just disappear.
"I. . I um, I am here because, er, people have been seeing you, uh, around here." Meikai stuttered out feeling a blush crawl up and pool into his cheeks as he looked at the woman who giggled, the noise beautiful like music, her hand covering her lips gently to hide the pulling of her lips gently.
"Very good language, Meikai the Sorcerer." The woman replied to him giggling softly as she grinned behind her hand and he felt the corner of his lips gently.
"Well thank you. . .uh, what's your name?" He asked raising his brow softly the blush scorching his face hotly making him wish he had his hat to hide his face and his blush only got hotter as she smiled at him sweetly.
"My name- hm I have had many names, but you can call me Amaris." The woman-Amaris replied smiling sweetly and lightly at him making him blush and he smiled at her.
"Well then you can just call me Meikai, no Sorcerer Meikai or as my familiars' call me-Lord Meikai. I'll just call you Amaris and you call me Meikai." Meikai said then blushed at how stupid it sounded but Amaris smiled at him, her lips pulling into a bright smile like that of the moon itself and it made his heart stutter lightly again.
"Okay. It's a deal then." Amaris said smiling as she walked forward and stood in front of him, her soft yellow eyes boring into him but in a strangely pleasant way.
Every cell in his body cried out for her, his heart stuttered and even beat differently just for her, his eyes wanted to drink her in, his hands wanted to reach out and touch her soft, silky looking cheek just to see if she was honestly real. And he was feeling this just in five seconds of seeing her and he knew then that his morals, his goals and loyalties shifted to her soley and it honestly scared him but he knew this woman had his heart, had him wrapped around her delicate looking finger in just the moment she spoke. He wondered if this was what Cherryblood felt when he was talking about that girl he'd met and then dismissed the thought, knowing nothing could possibly compare to how potent this was before he felt bad. Of course something could feel this potent though it was rare and new to Meikai.
"It's a deal." Meikai replied grinning at her feeling his cheeks burning still but when she lifted her hand extending her pinky he lifted his own hand and wrapped his pinky around hers only to recieve a small shock go through him.
"So why are you here, Meikai?" She asked tilting her head gracefully and he smiled sheepishly at her before she climbed up into the crescent shaped moon tree and sat on a branch then held her hand out for his and he took it climbing right up next to her and smiled at her gently.
"Well, the Sea King wanted me to come and-well see if you'd be a threat or something stupid like that to the kingdom." Meikai felt embarrassed and stupid saying that as he blushed but Amaris just smiled at him making a soft "Ahh" noise.
"I see. Well I don't look like a threat do I?" She asked raising a pale row but smiled at him and he chuckled looking at this beautiful creature right in front of him and he felt his heart stuttering continuously.
"No you don't but you never know. Beautiful women do have devious minds." He joked but then his blush seemed to jump up-oh, you know a few thousand degrees and he was sure his entire face, even the tips of his ears, were a bright red.
"Oh? You think I'm beautiful do you?" She jokingly said but a very soft blush crossed over her cheeks.
"I-I didn't mean it that way! I mean not that you're not beautiful but that all beautiful women, like you are-Oh god I'm not making this better am I?" Meikai babbled blushing hotter and hotter if possible as he looked at Amaris who just smiled at him chuckling lightly.
"No no, it's rather. . cute seeing you so flustered. Tell me where do you think your familiars' are right now?" Amaris asked tilting her head again and he could have scream to the Heavens in thankfulness for a subject change.
"I'm not sure they were right behind me. They might be kissing or something." Meikai chuckled out feeling the blush go down in intensity slightly.
"Oh really? Well the must be a very cute couple." Amaris said a bit distractedly as the sun began to sink a little lower, the horizon seeming to devour the light slowl as the sky became slightly darker and a few tiny stars stood out in the darkening sky.
"I would guess they are." He found himself not wanting to talk about Tatsumiya and Old, wanting to talk about her and solely her strange as it was. "So why do you come here all the time?"
"Well. . the night is the only time that I CAN come out. Or well, full moons." She shrugged her shoulders lightly blushing slightly as she said it making Meikai curious.
"How come?" He asked tilting his own head a bit as he stared at her and she seemed to blush a little more and the color was like roses against her skin.
"I. . can't exactly explain that. But can I ask you something?" She said sliding those beautiful eyes to him and he felt his heart stutter again for maybe the millionth time.
"Sure why not." He replied shrugging softly but Amaris blushed deepl making her cheeks look beautifully dark in a way that made his fingers want to reach out and touch her burning cheek.
"Can. . you stay here with me? For the night to talk? Many people see me but become frightened and run away but you aren't like others so would you like to stay and talk?" She asked blushing fiercely as he eyes settled on his and he felt his stomach tighten with the flutters of his heart as he looked at this woman. He honestly felt like he would do anything for her and seeing her look so vulnerable and sweet he couldn't help but smile at her.
"Of course I will. I just hope you won't get bored with." He joked grinning at her lightly and she laughed out so suddenly the sound like bells and he felt his blush burning a little more as she smiled widely.
"I don't think I'll be getting bored with you any time soon." Amaris replied smiling widely at him and he smiled right back as he settled himself in right next to her. The conversation started off slowly and easily but within just a couple of minutes Meikai felt like a different person, like he hd no familiars' calling for him or even a kingdom to go back too. All there was was him and Amaris and nothing else.
