Invaded Dreams

In the dream realm time is an illusion, I've never felt such bliss in reality that I have felt here. I have always been capable of manipulating my dreams. The mystics call it lucid dreaming, demons have been know to be haunted by plagues of nightmares that remind them of prior tragedies before the truce. During a lovers ritual is a minor glimpse of ecstasy they have never known. This ability has been a safe place for me since I was a child helping me escape reality, training, and neglect. My father primary goal was creating a perfect demon lord to lead the country, minor necessities such as affection was a useless chore for him. I've found it hilarious how even incubus could cater to their young with more compassion than a demon lord.

Today I will enjoy the springs, the scrolls have described the springs in the fairy kingdom. Detailed drawing have been made which have helped me create the perfect place of relaxation. This dream has always been my favorite. Carved from crystal amethyst the hot springs sits besides the waterfall of Maevel a village located in the Landaus kingdom. Magnolia butterfly trees surrounds the fall with feathery emerald grass supporting the most beautiful flowers. Watching the moon, while listening to the humbling sounds of the water has brought me happiness.

I decided to remove my night clothes before take a dip. The water is spectacular, allowing me to lift the reins that life has tied upon me. A familiar presence alerted my sense, yet I remained at peace.

"You've decided to join me?" My voice filled with playful banter.

Looking up I'm met with hungry eyes, I flinched a bit at the sight. His body held refinement but his eyes held a glisten of red. He still refused to respond to my question only turning with flushed rosy cheeks. I decided to examine the man in front of me. His attire craved my attention. Thin sheer white and red matched perfectly with his heavenly white hair. Gold gripped his forearm, with striking earrings to compliment the outfit. This man in-front of me alluded sensuality, yet his scarlet cheeks deceived this flirtatious outfit. I was shocked for a moment, a large lump formed in my throat at the sight.

"W-What is your name?" A soft voice escaped this holy sight before me. His hands constantly fidgeting as he refused to engage in eye contact.

I couldn't help, but to smile at the meek person before me. Although I find it suspicious that a person capable of invading my dreams have no awareness of my name. I began to study him more. His appearance is ethereal, watching him is a breath of fresh air. He has not brought a threat nor disturbed my relaxation so I shall let him live..for now.

"You invade my dreams, and demand requests from me. How bold of you." I replied.

Grabbing the ends of the tub I emerged from the decorative springs. Never taking my eyes off of him. He quickly turned around as if I had punished him. It brought a mischievous energy to arise within me. After getting dressed in my night clothes, I gradually walked to him.

I stood behind him patiently, with just a small breath his entire body shuddered. How can a man with his stature possibly be so sensitive. For some reason I feel something is missing about him. I can't exactly determine his lineage, but if angels existed in this realm he would be the embodiment of one.

"What is your intentions? Why have you disturbed my dreams?" I pressed, if he truly holds no malicious intentions than this question should be easy.

"I-I'm here to find" his words trailed. I can't concentrate, because he refuses to meet my eyes. I was to see them ignite red again.

I stopped his speech by touching his chin, I want his gaze to land on me. Why does such folly keep appearing in my mind. I am suppose to find his true intention of infiltrating my dreams, yet the only thing I can focus on is his expressions.

"Look at me when you speak" I demanded. His eyes causes excitement that I have never known when they land on me. Shall I tease him more?

His eyes landed upon mine causing a shiver to grow down my spine. I released his chin deciding to avoid these emotions is best. I    turned around to gather my thoughts, yet when I turned around his shadow appeared again before he disappeared in thin air.

What is happening to me? Why does my heart flutter from his heated gaze, I've had numerous succubus and female demons warm my bed. None of them have ever caused an ounce of emotions to arise. It's good he's gone, hopefully he'll stay away for awhile. I don't know what kingdom he is from, nor have identified if he poses a threat for the kingdom. I cannot falter in a position I've just received.
