Skorne sat on the by the edge of the Richimon Lake, looking over the clear waters with an alert eye. He was unable to sleep for some reason, he was probably just excited. Looking down at his finger, he watched the way the light from the moon reflected off of his ring. Watching the ring brought forth memories of Tamuril, his beautiful wife. Was it just the other day they had been married? It seemed so long ago already, but what a day it had been. Tamuril had been beautiful, not that she wasn't always, and the day had been perfect. Skorne looked across the lake, looking for some sign of his love.

Skorne sighed, delighted with the turns his life had taken. He thought back to the first time he had met Tamuril, it had been practically by chance. He had loved her almost at first sight, she was still as beautiful as ever, and he had met her at Norwood Lake, the exact spot where they were married. He wondered what was taking her so long getting here, it wasn't that far of a journey, maybe she was tired so she had taken her time.

Tamuril was sleepy and was taking her time to get to the falls. She felt as if she had not slept in days but she was okay with that... she was now married to Skorne. Walking into the sight of the falls she smiled as she saw her love sitting at the edge.

Waving at him she quickly walked to the other side of the falls to her love and sat down beside him cuddling close. Smiling at her husband she signed, "Hello my love." Looking at him with sleepy eyes she kissed him on the lips as their little friend the Fairie Dragon flew down to the pair of them.

Cheeping happily the little dragon crawled in between the married couple and wrapped its wings around itself and fell asleep.

Skorne laughed at the little dragon, it seemed obsessed with getting between them. "Why is it always trying to get between us?" Skorne kissed Tamuril back, gently picking up the dragon so that he wouldn't be in the way. He set him down in front of them, and wrapped his arms around Tamuril, glad that she had arrived. "Looks like you both could use a rest." It is alright, you must be tired, I will watch over you." Skorne signed all of this and then kissed Tamuril once again, hoping that she would get some sleep. She looked exhausted, and he probably wasn't any better.

"What about you though Sweetheart?" She signed, "You look just as tired." Tamuril moved closer to Skorne resting her head on his shoulder but still signing, "Are you sure that you shouldn't rest as well?"

She sat up looking him in the eyes before gently kissing him back on the lips. Tamuril hated to see herhusband so tired and yet willing to allow her to sleep and watch over her. She kissed him again on the lips looking him in the eyes pleeing wtih him silently to sleep as well.

Skorne watched Tamuril carefully, considering her request. While it was true that he could use some sleep, he prefered to make sure that they were safe throughout the night. Then he saw the look in Tamuril's eyes, and was forced to concede. "There you go with that look again, how can I refuse you with that look in your eyes? Very well, I will get some sleep, but only if you promise to sleep to. I love you, it would tear me up to make you unhappy." Skorne kissed Tamuril back, glad that they had reached an agreement. Laying back to look at the stars, Skorne watched Tamuril sitting with the stars framing her face. She was worth more than all the gold in the world to him, and he waited for her to lie down also, refusing to attempt to sleep until she did.

Tamuril layed down beside Skorne and cuddled close. Kissing him lovingly on the cheek. She rested her head on his chest cuddling even closer closing her eyes as she clung to her husband. Slowly the deaf elf with a beaming smile upon her younge face fell asleep in the arms of her love.

Smiling the entire time she slept she enjoyed beautiful dreams of her future together with her beloved Skorne. One dream showed them having a family together. She giggled in her sleep as she expirenced her dream that one day she hoped would come ture.

Skorne waited until he saw that Tamuril was asleep before allowing himself to drift off to sleep. For the first time in many nights, he had a peaceful sleep, one that was uninterrupted by the nightmares that used to haunt him. He awoke in the middle of the night to a chill in the air, one that surprised him, he hadn't thought it would get this cold here. Still, he took his cloak, and spread it across Tamuril's sleeping form, making sure that she would stay warm on this night.

However, he found it much more difficult to fall asleep now that he was awake. Staring up into the starry sky, his thoughts ran wild throughout his head. Thoughts of the wedding and the days leading up to it, the people that came to see the two of them married. Eventually, he drifted back to sleep, exhausted from the actions of several days with minimal sleep.

Waking hours later, Tamuril did not open her eyes or move, she continued to lay with her beloved husband smiling. She was so happy and felt so safe to be with Skorne like this. Slowly opening her eyes to the bright world around her she sat up streaching.

Yawning softly she looked down on Skorne and gently kissed him on the lips. She could tell he was still very tired and needed to sleep some more. Without waking him, Tamuril quietly removed her clothes and went to wash up.

Diving into the refreshing waters of the Richimon Lake, Tamuril found herself feeling the most relaxed she had in days and even after their wedding. Smiling with happiness she returned to the surface of the glittering waters and began to wash her long curly hair.

For several minutes, Skorne lay there, not stirring as he continued to sleep. When a beam of light raced through the trees to strike him in the face, he gently stirred, waking up. Turning on his side, he looked at the lake through sleep filled eyes. Spotting Tamuril, he woke up fast. The events of the previous night still in his mind. Sitting near the bank, he splashed some water at Tamuril, playing with here slightly. He loved her, and he couldn't help but smile whenever he saw her. She was his world, and she was worth more than everything in it.

Skorne stood up, stretching to help himself become fully awake. He swiftly signed good morning to Tamuril. Smiling at her, he gently picked up the small dragon, shaking it slightly to get it to wake up. He was feeling hungry, and no doubt Tamuril was to. "I will go get some food, I won't be gone long." He gave the dragon a look that clearly said keep an eye on things before walking off into the forest.

Tamuril quickly got out of the water and got dressed before he could leave and greeted him him a morning kiss. "Can I come iwth you?" She asks him through sign language.

Smiling at him she waited for his reply to her question hugging him tightly. She grinned at him with hopfull eyes. Tamuril was in a mood where she just wanted to be with her husband Skorne.

Skorne had been surprised at how fast Tamuril could be when she wanted to move. Smilng, he kissed her back. "Of course you can come, I just was going to let you finish washing your hair." Since Tamuril was coming with him, he beckoned the dragon to come with them. At least the dragon could provide them with some entertainment. Other than that, he was just there to look cute and act as though he ruled over them. Still, Skorne couldn't help but keep the creature around. Tamuril obviously thought the creature was adorable, and that made it worth keeping.

Taking Tamuril's hand in his own, he walked beside her into the forest, looking around for any sign of food. He didn't care what they found, he was just looking for something that Tamuril would like to eat. He wondered what the dragon would eat. He had never had to feed a small dragon before, he wondered if all they ate was meat.

Cuddling close to Skorne, Tamuril beamed at him sighing happily. She was so happy and with every moment with Skorne she became even more happy. Smiling at him she moved slight in front of him and signed to him that she loved him more then anything else in the world.

Sighing happily she kissed him before they went on their way once again. Looking around for food as well she giggled as she saw the Fairie dragon had found some. The little dragon flew stright towards some fruit in a large grove of trees.

Hanging from a branch the little creature began to eat the fruit his wings wrapped tightly around his body and his face now dripping with juice.

"Greedy little dragon, you are supposed to save some for us." Skorne couldn't help but smile at the antics of the dragon. It certainly did add a little happiness to the day, even if it seemed like a bottomless pit. Still smiling, he kissed Tamuril, happy anytime they were together. Skorne looked around at the branches of the trees, looking for some food that looked good enough to eat. He wasn't that concerned with finding anything, he cared more that he had Tamuril by his side. He swiftly signed a question at Tamuril. "Do you see anything that you like? We could always have the dragon bring us some food." Skorne signed that last part jokingly, smiling at Tamuril as he kissed her once again.

Kissing him back she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck smiling at him. Breaking away from him slowly she signed with a giggle, "Yeah I see something I like... You!" Blushing happily at him she gently stroked his cheek.

Hugging him again she once again broke away from and turned to look at the fruit bearing tree. Spying a few ruby red apples she pointed them out to her husband before moving towards the tree. Smiling she slowly started to climb the tree.

Skorne moved over to the base of the tree, watching Tamuril carefully. He didn't want her to fall and he was there to catch her in case she did. He watched as she climbed higher and higher into the tree. He told himself he was being silly, it was unlikely that she would fall, but he couldn't help himself, he worred about her anyway. He wouldn't feel better until she was back on the ground with him, safe in his arms. Watching her nervously, he wanted to make sure that she didn't accidently step on a breaking branch and fall. Still watching her, he bagan to pace back and forth at the base of the tree, never taking his eyes off her.

Tamuril soon was on the branch were the beautiful apples were and smiling down at Skorne she throw them down to him. Smiling even more she blew him a kiss before climbing down the tree. Jumping to the ground carfully she ran towards her husband.

Grinning at him she throw her arms around him and kissed him. Something had told her... maybe it was the way he watched her or the nervous look on his face. Kissing him again on the lips she cuddled closer before taking an apple from him.

Taking a bite of the ruby apple she offered Skorne a bite from the same one. She held it for him still in his arms cuddled close.

Skorne breathed a sigh of relief when Tamuril landed safely. Taking her in his arms, he hugged her tightly. Skorne took a small bite of the apple that was offered to him, leaving the rest for Tamuril. After he had swallowed the bite, he kissed Tamuril on the cheek, glad that she was back with him again. Smiling, he took the apples and turned to head back to camp. Holding a few apples in one hand, he gave Tamuril a one-armed hug, pulling her close to him. He loved her more than anything, and was glad that she was safe. Skorne looked back to make sure that the dragon was following them, and almost laughed. It had brought a small branch that was covered with barries with it. Apparently, it wanted to bring some food with it. Still smiling, he continued to hold Tamuril, never wanting to let go of her.

Tamuril cuddled closer to Skorne and rested her head on his shoulder. She never wanted Skoren to let go of her. She felt the saftest in his arms. He was her life and she really hoped he knew that.

Smiling as the got to came she moved her head off of his shoulder and kissed him on the lips. Grinning at him she genlty took the apples and sat dwon under a tree and finished the apple she had started to eat early.

Skorne sat down next to Tamuril, selecting his own apple to eat. He kissed her lightly on the cheek, unable to get enough of Tamuril. He loved her, and he knew that she loved him. That was all that mattered in the world. Watching the dragon begin to eat it's own food, Skorne realized just how hungry he was. He bit down on his own apple, enjoying the flavor. Swallowing a mouthful, he gave a sigh of happiness. Just sitting her next to Tamuril filled him with such joy, and he would be with her for as long as his life lasted.

Tamuril beamed at Skorne and cuddled closer to him. Smiling she kissed him back on the cheek so happy to be with the man she loved. Something told Tammie that she would always be with Skorne until the end of her days.

Just to tease him she took a bite of his apple and holding the bite in her teeth offered it to her love as she went in for a kiss. She did all this while climbing into her husbands lap.

Cheping wanting to be part of the cuddling the little dragon left his barries and wiggled into the group but not in between the two just under their arms. Wragging his tail he cheeped happily.

Skorne kissed Tamuril on the lips, enjoying every moment of her games. He smiled at her, wiping a bit of apple juice off of her face. Skorne wrapped his arms around Tamuril's stomach, peaceful as they just sat there. Swallowing the apple that Tamuril had given him, he kissed her once again on the lips. Smiling up at her, he swiftly signed a question to her. "Do you want to do anything today?" Skorne watched her carefully, waiting for a reply from his beloved wife. He looked down for a second to watch the dragon as it made itself comfortable before looking back up at Tamuril. She looked even more beautiful than before, he never ceased to be amazed by her. He couldn't help himself, and he kissed her one more time before waiting for an answer to his question.

Smiling happily she kissed him back each and every time plus a few. Sighing happily she thought about his question while watching the little dragon. Grinning she looked at her beloved husband and sighed, "Why don't we go for a swim Skorne."

Tamuril grinned at Skorne as she waited for his reply. Smiling at him yet agian like he she could not contain herself and throw her arm around his neck once again and kissed him fully on the lips. "Gosh I love you", she signed to him sign langauge. She looked him in the eyes beaming with happiness.

Skorne laughed out loud, more happy than he had ever felt. He liked the idea of a swim, it would be refreshing after the journey here, almost as refreshing as the nights sleep. Smiling, he kissed her back before standing up and pulling her with them. He thought of something that seemed like it would be fun, signing it to Tamuril. "Hey, I will race you to the lake." Still smiling, he drew a line in a dirt section of the floor and stood behind it. He hoped that she would except it, it would make the day more fun in his opinion if they kept busy. Plus, it would be interesting to see how fast Tamuril was. Taking her hand, he brought her up to the line, kissing her lightly while waiting to see if she agreed.

Kissing him back smiling happily, Tamuirl nodded and signed that sounded like a ton of fun. Holding up three fingers she placed one down until there were nose up. Smiling she winked at Skorne with a giggled and took off running towards the lake.

As she ran the little dragon began to pull at her hair that was flying out behind her like a banner. Giggling at his she swatted at her little friend and did not pay attention to were she was going.

Skorne smiled and raced after Tamuril, purposely staying slightly behind her. Laughing at the dragon as he ran, he saw that the lake was coming up swiftly. Smiling, he watched as Tamuril reached the lake before him. Coming up to her, he kissed her on the lips, enjoying the time they had together. "Well, you beat me." Skorne kissed her once again, smiling as he watched her. The dragon had caught up with them, and was cheeping happily as it hovered in the air. Laughing at it, he kissed Tamuril once again, signing his next question. "Now, how about that swim you suggested?"

Grinning she nodded and kept kissing him back lovingly while clinging to him. Kissing him yet again she pulled away slowly and gently stroking him on the cheek she winked at him.

Smiling she removed her dress but left on her undergarments. Throwing the dress onto a rock in the water she started to swim around Skorne. Giggling she started to splash water at him and would now and then dive under and swim between his legs.

Laughing, Skorne splashed water back at her. Diving down, he swam until he reached the bottom. Pushing off the bottom, he swam straight upward until he broke through the surface. Smiling, he looked around for a sign of Tamuril. Not spotting her, he guessed that she had gone underwater again. She seemed to enjoy swimming as much as she enjoyed the forest. Laughing, he waited for her to surface as he treaded water, watching the dragon as it floated on teh surface of the water.

Smiling she came up behind him and wrapped her hands of his eyes. Kissing his neck she waited for his reaction smiling.

SHe giggled happily and treaded water still covering his eyes with her wet hands. While she did this the little dragon saw a small fly in the air and took off after it cheeping like a hungry bird. Tamuril watched this almost letting go of Skorne managed to keep her hands over his eyes.

Skorne was surprised when hands suddenly were placed over his eyes. Smiling, he felt behind him until his hands had wrapped around Tamuril's waist. Laughing, he swiftly ducked under water and spun around. Coming up facing Tamuril, he came close to her and kissed her on the lips. Giving her a swift hug, he splashed some water at her, laughing as they continued to swim. Kissing her once again on the lips, he swam backwards, splashing Tamuril as he went. This day was full of joy as he continued to laugh and swim. It was one of the best days of his life.

Giggling she swam after Skorne also having one of the most wonderful days. SIghing happily she splashed him back. Grinning Tamuirl jumped towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him. Tamuril was the happiest she had ever been in her life since she had gotten married to Skorne.

She felt as if she had at long last really found the place where she belonged. Smiling at her love she clung to him resting aginst him as if he was her pillow.

Skorne stayed where he was, letting Tamuril rest. He loved her, and he was glad that they had met. Smiling at her, he played with a strand of her hair. This place seemed so peaceful, so pure and free from the influences of the world. Skorne kissed Tamuril on the forhead, enjoying the feel of her skin against his own. The light from the sun shone through the leaves of the trees, leaving patterns on their skin as they floated on the surface of the lake. Skorne felt more at home and in love than he had ever thought possible.

Smiling happily she clung to her husband and kissed his neck. Clinging tight to you she slowly fell asleep. Skorne had worn her out with the race, the swimming and the climbing for their meal.

Cuddled close to her wonderful husband she dreamed of the future the would have with each other. Moving lgiht in her sleep she did not even notice the change in the weather.

The clouds had gathered in front of the sun and as they did so had started to spit droplets of ran upon the love filled couple. The water sparkled with the rain as it made its light song upon the water's sureface.

Skorne felt the first rain drops on his face, and began heading toward the shore. Getting out of the water, he carried Tamuril underneath the branches of a nearby tree, getting her out of the rain. Walking back toward the lake, he collected their items and brought them out of the rain also. Looking down at Tamuril's sleeping form, he sat down next to her, smiling. Listening to the rain as it beat down upon the trees and the lake, Skorne sat there motionless as he waited out the storm. Looking down at Tamuril, he leaned over and brushed his lips against her own, barely making contact so that he didn't accidently wake her. She must have been tired from all that they did today.
