Fenris and Lunetta lay in his bed, silently after a long night of surprises. Lunetta looks up at Fenris, he looks back down at her and gently smiles. "So do you want to tell me about your curse" Lunetta says avoiding eye contact. Gently she runs her hand across his chest, fingers tracing across the shield knot tattoo over his heart. Fenris chuckles lightly "Right to the point is it?" Lunetta nods her head in agreement snuggling in closer breathing deeply enjoying Fenris's smell. " Well as ive told you, my village believes we are children of the great wolves. Our Ancestors left us with symbols telling the story of the first wolves. One translation is One of the great wolves split off a bone and turned it into a human form. Then they were given the blessing of turning into the wolves for 1 night only. That night is the full moon. The second translation is a bit… darker. " he says trailing off. Lunetta's heart beats hard with dread, his tone was grim . Fenris grits his teeth and pinches the bridge of his nose as if from shame. " The other version is we're products of Dires wolves who mated with humans" he awkwardly laughs and continues " No one can determine if by force or willing, but I preferred the bone version myself". Lunetta laughed they were both similar with pain and curses. Fenris looks at her with an eyebrow raised " what's so funny?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she speaks " It so incredible that I love someone who knows my greatest pain, my darkness, my demons. Now im not as alone" she begins to cry from being overjoyed. Fenris Lays on his side and scoops her up close, burying his face into her neck and hair. To distract her from her pain Fenris said "this amazing scent you have… it smells like the forest next to the fjord on a spring day. Fresh flowers and the ocean air, my favorite scent of home." Lunetta's heart flutters as she hears these words while held close to his rapidly beat heart. "Let's take a walk to the shore" he says kissing up her neck. Lunetta melts under touch but nods her head in agreement. After dressing and sneaking out of the village the two walk in the forest that rests between the village and sea. Holding her hand, Fenris guides Lunetta somewhere special. They arrive to a clearing with small purple and white flowers and a small pond nestled between three boulders. Lunetta runs ahead into the clearing enjoying the sunlight beaming down on her skin, while a breeze danced through her hair. This place felt amazing, almost as if it had an aura of serenity. Fenris walks up behind her and says "what if I made this… our home." Lunetta spins around to face him speechless. " I thought about it after your last visit to my home. I could build a small hut just for us. I work as our blacksmith no one would know what was happening. You would have a place to belong to when you come to land." He says inching closer "A…a place to belong" she stutters. "Home " he whispers. Lunetta falls into his arms. This…This was home to her. Looking up into his eyes she says in a hushed tone "Yes Fenris, Home!" They kiss passionately for a moment and look up into the sky full of hope and optimism, looking forward to what the future has to hold.
