Three months had passed since Adrien and Marinette were married and they were living happily together in wedded bliss. They were very much in love and spent almost every moment of every day together but nothing was perfect. For one thing Marinette had a little difficulty adjusting to her new life in the jungle. Clothes, hair, and hygiene wasn't much of a problem. She was a seamstress so she could sew her own clothes, due to the jungle's constant heat she mostly wore just a strapless red sun dress she made. If she needed a bath she would bathe in the stream by the water fall and there were plenty of herbs and plants that could serve as soap. She had a brush and a comb to fix her hair and she always kept a lily flower in her hair for an extra feminie touch. Food and living areas weren't an issue either, there was plenty of fruit, fish, and meat to eat and the tree house she lived in with Adrien was very comfortable but what did trouble her was that sometimes she felt like a burden to her husband.

He was strong, fast, could climb trees, swing on vines, fight wild animals, and she...Well she couldn't really do any of that. Not to mention she was rather clumsy and would sometimes end up getting into trouble that Adrien would have to save her from. For example sometimes when was gathering fruit or fish she would slip and accidentally fall out of the tree or into the river, luckily Adrien was always there to catch her or get her out and though her husband didn't seem at all bothered by this she still couldn't help but feel like she was burdening him.

"Okay I almost got it." She was in a tree reaching for some fruit when suddenly the branch she was standing on broke and she fell. Adrien quickly caught her before she hit the ground.

"Are you alright?" He asked her concerned.

"I'm fine thank you." She said. "You must be getting tired of that."

"Not really." He said. "I brought you something."

"What is it?"

In his hand he held a bouquet of wild flowers.

"Oh Adrien." She said taking them. "You're so sweet."

"You know Marinette you're the most beautiful creature I've seen in all of my life."

"Oh come on I'm not that pretty."

"You're right you're not pretty you're beautiful."

"You're only saying that because I'm the only one your age that you've been with."

"So what if you are? That doesn't change anything."

"But what if...What if you met another woman your age? One more beautiful and better matched for you than me?"

"That will never happen because there is no woman better matched for me than you." He kissed her cheek making her smile and blush. She really was lucky to have him. "Listen I'm going to go hunting, I'll see you when I get home tonight."

"Alright see you then."

Adrien grabbed his spear and went into the jungle to hunt for dinner. He found especially difficult to find some oxen or cattle to hunt today. It was almost like all the herds had moved on somewhere else. He followed the tracks led by the herds and it led him to a part of the jungle he had never seen before. It was a city, an ancient looking city filled with statues, alters, idols, and ancient artitectures. He wondered where he was, little did he know that this place was the forbidden city known as Opar. It was home to jackals and neanderthal like men who made human sacrifices to false gods. Adrien had a bad feeling about this place so he decided to leave but just before he could he was attacked by vicious jackals. The growled, snarled, and snapped at him. They jumped on to him and tried to devour him but he was stronger than them and easily threw them off of him.

When their pets proved to be useless, the neanderthal like men went to kill him. They were surprised how strong Adrien was. He fought no better than a lion or a panther proving to be quite a challenge. The noise caused by the fight caught the attention Opar's ruler, the high priestess and only woman in the city Lila. An extremely attractive young woman with long chestnut hair and olive eyes, dressed in just an orange bra and sarong. She was right in the middle of trying to choose a suitable mate when she heard the attack.

"What is that infernal racket?!" She demanded as she followed the noise. "Can't you brainless apes see that I'm trying to find a mate?!"

But she was cut off at the sight before her. A young man, handsome and strong, able to fight off both her jackals and her slaves. Who was this man? She wondered. No this was no man this was a God. He was a mate worthy of her, not these ugly, ape like slobs.

"My pets, my slaves, cease this violence at once." She ordered.

The men and jackals stopped attacking Adrien at her word. The wild man picked himself up and watched as the priestess made her way down the stairway of a temple carrying a staff that resembled some kind of dog god or demon.

"I see we have a guest." She said smiling at him. "And who is this that fights with the strength of ten lions?"

"Hi I'm Adrien." Adrien said brushing the dirt off of himself. "Sorry for intruding Miss, I was just looking for meat to hunt."

"Allow me to introduce myself I am Lila queen of this great land, the jackals are my pets and these dim-witted gorillas who call themselves men are my servants. A thousand apologies for their rude welcome."

"That's okay no harm done. Look I'll just go now before I cause anymore trouble."

"But it is awfully late, I insist you stay the night."

"That's very kind of you but I need to get home if I don't my family and my friends will be worried."

"But you're hurt." She said eyeing his wound. "Surely you can stay and recover for tonight."

"But what about my family?"

"I'm sure they'd understand."

"I don't know...Alright but I better send them a message just to let them know I'm okay."

"Wonderful I shall have my servants prepare a room for you and a feast served in your honor."

"Thanks."

Once Adrien was settled he whistled for Nooroo and told him to message Marinette and the animals that he was injured and wouldn't be home until morning. However when Nooroo saw where he was he began to panic.

"Adrien do you not know where you are?"

"No I- Achoo! Don't. Where am I- Achoo!"

"You're in Opar!"

"Opar? The place Plagg and Tikki always told me never to go."

"Yes! You need to get out of here! Right away!"

"Why? It doesn't seem so bad aside from the jackals. Ah...Achoo!"

"Adrien the people here are mindless savages! They'll tear you apart or worse they'll sacrifice you! That's probably the only reason you're still alive!"

"Well the men weren't really nice but that woman was."

"What woman? There are hardly any women here."

"Their leader what was her name again? Oh yeah Lila."

"Their leader is a woman?! Wait is she priestess?"

"Yes."

"Oh no! They're going to sacrifice you! I can feel it in my feathers!"

"Calm down bird brain. Achoo! Look if you're really that concerned for my safety then I'll leave."

"Please do!"

"I will but I might be late so go tell Marinette and the others so they won't worry okay?"

"Alright but please be careful."

"I will."

Nooroo the spread his wings and flew back to the tree house to tell everyone the news. As for Adrien he wasn't sure if Nooroo was right or over exaggerating but he had feeling that maybe this city wasn't as safe as he first thought. So he figured he'd leave after he ate. Little did he know that Lila had big plans for him. No she wasn't going to sacrifice him, she was going to seduce him into being with her mate. Would he succumb to her charms? Or would he remain faithful to his wife? In my opinion probably the second option but if he refuses I don't think they'll part ways on friendly terms.
