A Tale of Enchantments

1st Arc: The Enchanted Maiden & The Dragon of Embers

As the trees of The Enchanted Forest sway in the cold breeze, Bella's titian hair also sways to reveal her tear-filled cerulean blue eyes gazing down at the unsightly grave of her father.

her freckled cheeks become red with heartbreak as she reminisces about the times she spent with him, suddenly her thoughts are interrupted by the sound of her mother falling to her knees while crying inconsolably.

"Christopher, don't leave me, I can't bear to live without you," says Rosemary with tears of loneliness forming in her viridescent eyes, Bella sees her mother crying & kneels beside her to offer her a warm & welcoming embrace, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to comfort her anguished heart, so Bella decides to disregard her own grief to console her mother until her heart is at peace.

After hours of mourning the loss of Christopher, Bella & her mother unintentionally fall asleep in the grass under the enchanting light of the twilight sky.

5 years later, "Bella!, Bella wake up!" says Bonny, Bella's lively talking pet bunny, "Ugh, what do you want Bonny" responds Bella while covering herself in her rose-colored covers. "Bella, isn't it your 18th birthday today, shouldn't a day like this bring cheer to one's life", "well it hasn't brought cheer to mine in years" responds Bella in a snarky tone.

Bonny pulls the covers away from Bella & yells in a lively voice "Then let today be the day it does!", Before getting out of bed Bella thinks back to 6 years ago when she & her mother cried for hours at her father's grave, "Ever since that day, her love for me has dwindled, how can I love myself when nobody else does" Bella mutters quietly.

Bella then crawls out of her bed & goes to try on her emerald green dress with embroidered Fragaria & Gardenia at the bottom & a freshly picked rose sticking out at the top.

After struggling to put it on, she looks in the mirror & seems to be unpleased with her figure, until she notices Bonny peeking from the doorway "I've never laid eyes on a more beautiful maiden" Says Bonny proudly, "Shut up!" Says Bella while hiding her face with her hands. Bella then slips on her matching heels & gazes at herself in the mirror one more time before following Bonny outside.

When Bella & Bonny make their way outside, Bonny begins leading Bella into the Enchanted Forest, "Where are we going Bonny" Says Bella a little annoyed, "We're going to the city!" Says Bonny in an excited tone, "The city! Mother would kill me if she found out I left the Forest!" Responds Bella refusing to go to the city.

"You worry far too much Bella, we'll be back before she can even find out," Says Bonny in a convincing tone, Bella continues to refuse her proposal, so Bonny stops walking & turns towards Bella, "Bella, isn't it about time you start pursuing a life outside of the confines of what your mother wants, your not a child anymore," Says Bonny with a hint of seriousness in her voice, Bella stares at Bonny in shock then turns to look in the direction of her house.

After moments of contemplating her decision she looks back at Bonny "Fine, but only 30 minutes" Says Bella unwillingly accepting Bonny's proposal, Bonny smiles and then continues leading Bella into the Enchanted Forest.

After 3 hours of walking through the Enchanted Forest, Bella & Bonny finally make their way to the entrance of the fortified city, "So this is the city huh!" Says Bella remembering all the times her mother & father would leave to go sell fruits & vegetables to the people of the city, "Come Bella!, let us behold the marvels of this wondrous city!" Says Bonny leading Bella inside the city walls.

The moment Bella steps foot inside the city walls, she is bewildered & almost terrified by the noisy crowds of people gathering in different parts of the city.

"Wondrous city huh? More like wonderfully obnoxious" Says Bella annoyed by the sounds of their heavy footsteps plopping on the pavement & their overbearing voices filling the air, "You'll learn to get used to it, now off we go to the Urban Dragon Diner!" Says Bonny adventurously.

"What is the Urban Dragon Diner?" Bella Says while walking with Bonny through the capital of the city, "The Urban Dragon Diner is a place many people seek out to enjoy desserts prepared by some of the best pastry chefs in the world" Bonny Says with a gleeful grin, "With such a high reputation, why aren't people lining up to get their hands on some of their desserts?" Says Bella looking around at the many different shops & markets in the city, "Because it's kept hidden by the inhabitants of this city, you could even say it's like a small part of their culture" Says Bonny.

After 5 minutes of walking through the capital of the city Bella & Bonny arrive at the entrance of the Urban Dragon Diner, "Shall we go in?" Says Bonny walking towards the door, Bella & Bonny make their way inside the Urban Dragon Diner & as soon as Bella enters the restaurant her delicate nose immediately picks up on the scent of freshly picked strawberries & oven baked bread, Bella's stomach suddenly rumbles as she begins smelling the aromas of the nearby desserts "Um.." Says Bella hoping Bonny didn't hear her.

Bonny lets out a little giggle then signals a nearby waiter "Bella if you were hungry you should've just said so", Bella ignores Bonny's remark & walks over to a table to sit down, Bonny smiles then walks over to the waiter to explain the details of their order.

5 minutes later Bonny finishes explaining the details to the waiter & goes to sit down at the same table that Bella is sitting at, Bonny notices Bella looking out the window at a family walking in the capital with a saddened expression on her face.

Bonny gives Bella an encouraging smile "Would it kill you to smile every once in a while?", "What is there to smile for?" Bella says with the same saddened expression on her face, "Sigh, listen, I know life for you has been rough & has left with you many deep wounds but just for today try to enjoy yourself, If you do I know life will seemingly get a lot more colorful for you" Bonny implores.

Bella stares at Bonny in awe before turning her gaze elsewhere & saying "Sigh, fine but only for today", Bonny smiles appreciatively then says in a lively voice "Then let us enjoy this day to the fullest!".

5 minutes later Bella & Bonny receive a double stacked milky white cake with sweet strawberry cream sliding down the sides of the freshly baked bread underneath, not only that but freshly melted chocolate fondue spilling out from the insides, & to top it all off, a strawberry that seems to have been picked from the heavenly vines of the garden of Eden itself sits atop the peak of the cake.

Bella & Bonny admire the masterfully made cake sitting before them until Bella notices a note sticking out from under the cake written in enchanted words & reading "Happy Birthday", Bella reads the note aloud & suddenly a multitude of colored sparks of light begin appearing all around the restaurant signaling both the customers & servers alike to gather around & sing Bella a beautifully harmonious birthday symphony, this unexpected outcome leaves Bella speechless which results in Bella & Bonny staying a lot long longer in the city than they had initially anticipated.

So later that night while Bella & Bonny are walking through the capital of the city, Bonny gifts Bella a silver locket with a picture of her smiling happily with her mother & father, Bella stares in awe at the silver locket before saying with an appreciative grin "I guess you were right Bonny, my world has gotten a tiny bit more colorful thanks to you", right after Bella says these heartfelt words she passes out on the pavement & all that can be heard in the distance is a cry of distress from Bonny.

When Bella awakens, she finds herself lying in a field of red spider lilies & being gazed at by a man with long silver hair, olive green eyes & a jawline stronger than the muscles that can be seen on his milky white body, "I see you're awake" Says the mysterious boy in a calm & delicate tone, "Who are you!" Bella Says a little frightened, "My name is Dian, the one who rescued you from the city?" Says Dian with a warm & comforting smile.

Bella turns her gaze towards her floral surroundings, "Where am I?" Bella Says while rising to her feet, "This is the scarlet garden of the Enchanted Forest" Dian Says while walking towards Bella.

Bella hears Dian's approaching footsteps & attempts to back up, but the heel of her emerald slipper gets tangled in a swarm of red spider lilies & she begins to fall, "Agh!" Says Bella while falling, but out of nowhere Dian leaps to catch Bella. When Bella comes to her senses she notices that she is being grasped by Dian's strong & masculine arms.

Her face becomes red with embarrassment as she tries to free herself from his grasp "Release me from your grasp, I can walk on my own" Says Bella attempting to get back on her feet. She suddenly feels herself being lifted off the ground "You're still not ready to walk yet, don't force yourself" Says Dian while wrapping his arms behind her dainty back & delicate knees.

Dian begins carrying Bella towards the massive rose-colored gates of the scarlet garden, "I never asked you to carry me so don't expect me to offer you a thank you" Says Bella desiring to be put down.

"I didn't do this in pursuit of your praise, I did it because your protection is my highest priority" Says Dian in a rather gallant tone while walking through a swarm of red spider lilies, Bella turns her gaze away from Dian in embarrassment & thinks to herself "Why is my body reacting so strongly to his words! It feels as if my heart has begun beating out of my chest & my hands have started to become as moist as spring mist".

After 10 minutes of walking through the scarlet garden, Bella & Dian arrive on the other side of the rose-colored gates.

Bella sees a vague silhouette of her house in the far distance, "Listen Bella, hold on to me very tightly & don't let go" Says Dian preparing to leap through the vast garden in front of Bella's house.

Bella quickly clings onto Dian's wide & muscular torso as the surrounding area begins to glow in a vibrant radiance, Bella closes her eyes in distress & suddenly her ginger-scented hair flies up in a wild frenzy. When Bella opens her eyes she notices that they are standing before the entrance of Bella's house, Bella then gasps in shock before yelling out "Wa!- was that Magic!?".

Dian gently places Bella on the ground before asking "Have you never seen Magic before?", "My mother used to tell me stories about it when I was younger but I've never actually seen it with my own eyes" Responds Bella hastily.

Dian begins staring at Bella in confusion as she begins gazing at parts of his body with a fascinated expression on her face "Is that fun for you?" Says Dian gazing at Bella with even greater confusion. Bella notices Dian's watchful eyes gazing at her so she calms herself down then stands up straight "Anyway, I guess I should thank you for protecting me so... thank you" Says Bella a bit embarrassed, "You needn't thank me, it was my duty to protect you" Dian Says while looking into Bella's eyes.

"Is that right", Says Bella sarcastically while reaching for the door nob, Dian gently grabs Bella's forearm & pulls her body close to his "I'm being serious Bella" Says Dian towering over her.

Bella nervously glances up at Dian while thinking to herself "There it is again, it's like something in my body awakens every time he touches me!". Suddenly a loud shout can be heard from behind them, "There you are! Bella! Bella!" Says Bonny jumping through the vast garden in front of Bella's house.

Bella quickly pushes herself away from Dian & begins running to meet with Bonny, Bonny hops over the last bush then leaps into Bella's arms "Awh!, I was so worried that you might have died because of me!" Says Bonny grasping onto Bella tightly. Bella sets Bonny back down on the ground & gives her an assuring smile "I'm stronger than you think, & besides Dian kept me saf-" Before Bella can finish her sentence she notices that Dian has disappeared.

Bella looks back at Bonny in confusion "Bonny did you see a guy here just now", Bonny responds in confusion "No, why?", Bella looks behind her one more time wondering if Dian & the scarlet garden was just an illusion created by her subconscious thoughts.

After thinking to herself for a moment she calms down & discounts whether or not it was an illusion, "Nevermind" Bella Says with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, Bonny's confusion turns to awe as she witnesses Bella's natural radiance, she then gives Bella a doting smile before saying "I truly have never before laid eyes on a more beautiful maiden".

Bella was so exhausted after last night that she ended up immediately throwing off her dress & going straight to bed, so when she wakes up the next morning & finds herself completely naked & smelling of freshly picked strawberries & freshly baked bread she quickly jumps out of her bed & goes to go take a shower & put on some clothes.

After taking a shower & changing into a tightly knitted dark blue gardening dress with a pair of brown gardening boots to go with it, she heads outside to begin tending to her mother's garden, but before she can even get fully outside she notices Bonny lying down on the porch, "You're up rather early?" Bonny says while looking at Bella lethargically.

"Well since I didn't tend to the garden yesterday I thought I should tend to it today," Says Bella while grabbing a bucket of water, "Awh, you can be such a darling at times you know that," Bonny says while admiring Bella, "Your very kind but it was my father who created this garden so it's all thanks to him that our crops can even grow here in the first place," Bella Says with an innocent smile".

Bonny stares at Bella in shock before thinking to herself "Is she finally beginning to break free from the chains that have kept her captive for so long", Bella walks off the porch & approaches the nearby crops, she then checks whether or not the crops had sustained damage in the last couple of days.

After she finishes checking the crops, she sticks her hand in the bucket of water then pulls it out & sprinkles the access water from her hands onto the crops, she begins doing this over & over until the garden is fully watered. 2 hours later, "I've finally finished watering the entire garden!" Bella yells before sprinting through the garden in excitement.

After 5 minutes of sprinting through the garden, Bella stops running due to fatigue, while resting she thinks to herself "You know, I wonder if I'll ever see that boy again", Says Bella exhausted from running, Bella suddenly hides her her face with her hands while saying "What is wrong with me? Why is thinking about him making me feel so happy all of a sudden?" Says Bella confused by her own emotions.

Out of nowhere Dian appears & says "Isn't it obvious, what you're feeling is love" Bella looks up & sees Dian standing in front of her, "Where did you!-" Suddenly Dian grabs Bella by the waist & leaps into the sky, "Wha- what are you doing!!" Says Bella in shock, "Don't be afraid, I've told you before haven't I, I won't let anything hurt you" Says Dian grasping onto Bella's waist while floating in the sky, "So, wanna go for a ride?" Says Dian looking into Bella's eyes.

Bella nervously contemplates whether or not she should accept, but after thinking to herself for a few moments she calms down & says "Sure, let's go" & just like that Bella & Dian begin soaring through the clouds like eagles hunting for their prey.

After soaring through the clouds for a couple of minutes Dian begins flying in a straight path toward an unknown destination. Bella notices this & asks Dian in confusion "Where are we going?", Dian calmly responds by saying "I want you to see my home", Bella stares at Dian in awe then says "What for?", Dian turns his gaze towards the sky above them & says "Do you trust me?", Bella looks at Dian then at the sky above them & says "I do".

20 minutes later Bella & Dian arrive at a forest located on the opposite side of where Bella & her mother live.

After admiring the vastness of Dian's home, Bella & Dian begin descending into the forest, once he makes a successful landing he gently places Bella down on the ground & says "This forest is my home, my people call it the Ancestral Realm", Bella stares in awe at the wondrous sight before her, the trees seem to radiate an enchanting glow while behind them hides a multitude of magical creatures.

"Let me take you to see my creator?" Says Dian extending his hand towards Bella, Bella hesitates a little but calms herself down & takes his hand "O-Okay" Says Bella nervously, "Hold onto me tightly Bella" Dian says preparing to leap through the forest, Bella quickly grabs onto Dian's strong & masculine torso.

Just like in the garden, Bella & Dian leap to their destination within mere moments.

The sight Bella sees before her now is even greater than the one she saw before, Bella sees a massive tree radiating magic so strong it can be felt all around them & a golden deer with eyes so bright they could replace the sun.

Bella suddenly senses an even greater multitude of magical creatures along with one peculiar magical plant, unfortunately, she is snapped out of her daze when Dian says "Bella what's wrong?", Bella comes back to her senses then says with a fascinated grin "Oh It's nothing".

Dian takes a couple of steps forward and then shouts to all the nearby creatures "Creatures of the Everwild! Gaze upon this woman of beautiful birth & offer her the essence of your life!", so all of the creatures of the Ancestral Realm roar in unity before running towards Bella, which frightens her a little until she sees them bowing one by one before her, "Creatures of the Everwild! From henceforth this is your princess!" Dian yells to the bowing creatures.

Bella stares in awe at the multitudes of magical creatures bowing before her, Dian turns his gaze towards Bella & says "This is now your home as well", Bella looks at Dian then back at the magical creatures & says "But I already have a home", Dian walks over to Bella & pulls her body close to his "This is your oasis, a place of peace & harmony, whenever you need somewhere to run off to, call my name & I will come for you" Dian says while looking into Bella's quivering eyes.

"O-Okay," Says Bella while thinking to herself "His touch & his words has set my body on fire, igniting a burning desire for his love & affection", Bella's face becomes red like freshly picked cherries as she faints into Dian's muscular arms.

"Bella! Bella!!" Dian yells out to the unconscious Bella, but Bella doesn't respond.

2 hours later Bella wakes up in a cold sweat after dreaming about her & Dian having sex, she notices that she is back inside her house so she calms herself down thinking that it was just a dream, but after she finds Dian & herself completely naked & cuddled up together in her bed, she begins thinking that it might've not been a dream.

When Bella sees Dian beginning to wake up, she quickly runs to the bathroom to hide herself away from him, Dian wakes up moments later & sees Bella gone from the bed, he quickly jumps out of bed & goes to search for her.

He approaches the bathroom door & grabs the door handle. "Dian Wait!!" Yells Bella from inside the bathroom, Dian stops & says with worry "Bella! What's wrong? Are you okay? "I-I'm fine, J-Just doesn't come in" Bella Says in distress, "Bella why do you hide from me, did I do something to make you weary of me?" Dian says with a worried expression, "No- well yes but I don't know for certain" Bella says with uncertainty.

"Then let me help you?" Dian says eagerly wanting to help Bella, "Fine, but just answer me this, what happened after I fainted," Says Bella in urgency, Dian responds "After you fainted, I immediately brought you back home & placed you in your bed but your temperature kept rising so I decided to take off your clothes so I could use my magic to cool you down, but I fell asleep while doing that".

Bella sighs in relief and then calmly says "Oh, so that's what happened huh" While in the bathroom Bella puts on a thin white gown reaching down to her thighs and then comes out of the bathroom.

"Forgive me for how I reacted, I was so surprised that I immediately freaked out, but I'm ready now, I'm ready for you to make me a woman," Bella Says slightly embarrassed.

Dian stares at Bella in shock before calmly saying "If that's what you truly wish, I will honor it & make you a woman", Bella gives Dian an affectionate smile and then begins walking towards him, when she gets face to face with him, she pushes him onto the bed then hops on top of him, they both start kissing each other, first on the lips, then on the neck & eventually all over.

After these short sweet exchanges of love, Bella & Dian passionately become one in both mind & body.

Later that night while Bella & Dian are lying in Bella's bed covered in sweat & panting heavily, they both turn towards each other & manage to frantically mutter the words "I love you".

Bella wakes up the next morning & finds that Dian has left so she begins thinking to herself "Did we really?.., she snaps herself out of her thoughts then climbs out of her bed & goes to take a shower & put on some clothes.

After Bella is finished in the shower she puts on a tightly knitted silver dress with black boots, while putting on her black boots she thinks to herself "How long has it been since I've visited you father?", after having this thought she finishes getting ready then heads outside to visit her father's grave.

After she arrives outside, she signals one of the horses in the barn behind their house. Suddenly a pure white horse comes running from around the house & towards Bella before stopping right in front of her, almost as if imploring her to mount it.

So she mounts the pure white horse & begins galloping towards the Enchanted Forest.

30 minutes later Bella arrives at her father's grave, she is almost brought to tears at the sight of his grave, nevertheless, she calms herself down & gets down from the horse. She then walks up to her father's grave & kneels before it.

She gently places her hand on her father's headstone & begins tearing up, "Father, please forgive me for not visiting you these past five years" Says Bella while wiping her tears away with her hands, "When you died I felt hollow & as a result, my heart became a shell of what it once was, but now I'm beginning to understand what it feels like to have hope".

"So please forgive me, father, I promise from this day forward I will become a daughter you can be proud of, so please watch over my journey," Bella says with tears pouring out of her eyes.

Bella goes to grab a tulip from a nearby bush then places it on the grave, she then rises to her feet & goes to mount the horse, before riding off she gives her father's grave one last look.

1 week later, Bella is sitting in a tree & reading a book when she notices a light coming from deeper in the forest, she jumps to the ground & follows the light, as she gets closer the light grows stronger.

When she finally gets to the source of this radiant light, she sees a glowing human figure being formed inside of a peculiar plant, she goes to touch this mysterious plant but before she can, a massive explosion occurs at the core of the plant.

Bella is suddenly thrown back with tremendous force into a tree, knocking her unconscious.

But when she comes back to her senses she sees an unclothed man with short golden hair & golden eyes radiating light from all over his body standing before her.

"Who are you?" Bella says as she tries to cover her eyes with her hands, the unknown boy places his hand on her head then Bella instantly falls unconscious.

The golden-haired man gently lifts Bella off the ground & begins walking deeper into the forest.

When Bella wakes up she finds herself lying down inside a cave, she begins to hear what sounds to be a waterfall nearby so she rises to her feet & begins walking towards the darkened pathway leading outside.

After 5 minutes of walking, she arrives outside & instantly sees the golden-haired man she saw in the enchanted forest gracefully drinking from the waterfall she had heard while inside the cave.

The golden-haired man stops drinking from the waterfall and then turns his gaze towards Bella with an expression lacking any emotion.

"Um.. w-who might you be?" Says Bella a little frightened by his emotionless gaze, the golden-haired man rises to his feet & leaps towards Bella in an instant, landing directly in front of her, he then gently grabs her velvety hair.

Bella stares at the golden-haired man in bewilderment "Um.. d-does my hair interest you?" Says Bella a bit confused, the golden-haired man then smells Bella's hair before muttering the words "Fresh cherries?", Bella's face becomes red as strawberries as she pulls her hair away from the golden-haired man's grasp, "U-um.. so, could you tell me where we are?" Bella says nervously.

The golden-haired man then leans toward Bella & kisses her neck, Bella's face becomes red with embarrassment until she notices a voice speaking to her inside her head.

"Who's there!?" Bella shouts, "Don't worry, it's just me" Responds the golden-haired man telepathically, "Golden-haired man? how are you able to talk with me telepathically?" Bella says, "I have a power that allows me to intertwine the minds of whoever I kiss", Chant responds.

"Um.. are you unable to talk with your mouth?" Bella telepathically says to the golden-haired man, the golden-haired man responds "Yeah, long ago someone took away my ability to physically show emotion along with my ability to speak, oh yeah & by the way, my name is Chant".

"I am terribly sorry for what you must be going through, but um.. could you tell me where we are?" Responds Bella, "The Enchanted Ravine" Chant says, "What for?" Bella responds, "To obtain eternal life" Chant says, "So why did you bring me along?" Bella responds.

"I brought you along because long ago I heard that if a man & a woman were to see each other unclothed while bathing in the ravine, both the man & the woman will receive eternal life," Chant says.

"So you brought me along to see me unclothed!!?" Bella says, Chant responds in urgency "What! No! I would never! I'm doing this purely in the pursuit of eternal life, not your body", "If that's true then find another girl to do it with" Bella responds

"No! It has to be you!" Chant says, "And why is that?" Bella responds, "Because you are the only maiden I'm willing to do it with, I refuse to do it with anyone else, without you it's all meaningless," Chant says, after moments of no response Bella then says "Okay fine, just please let your lips go from my neck already".

So Chant takes his lips away from Bella's neck, Bella then begins walking back & forth while thinking to herself, & after 5 minutes of thinking to herself Bella says in earnest "Fine, but if we are going to do this, I want to be the one who will decide the terms of this venture".

"Oh & another thing, we'll need to find another way of communicating other than you giving me neck kisses.. but since we don't have another way of communicating right now, whenever you want to tell me something just keep it short okay" Says Bella slightly embarrassed.

Chant then leans towards Bella once more to kiss her, but this time he doesn't kiss her on her neck, instead he kisses her on her lips and then tells her telepathically "Understood", Bella's face becomes red as strawberries, she then pushes herself away from him.

Bella immediately turns her gaze elsewhere "Let's just get this venture done with already" Says Bella unable to look him in the eyes.

10 minutes later, Bella & Chant begin taking off their clothes, after they're both unclothed, Bella & Chant begin stepping in the river backward from each other.

Bella then says aloud "We'll both turn around in 3 seconds okay", Bella nervously continues by saying "1..2..3".

Both Bella & Chant turn around & begin gazing at one another's naked bodies, after Bella sees his body she immediately turns her gaze away while blushing.

After 5 minutes Bella says "Nothing's happened, so whoever told you about this ravine must've been a liar" Bella then turns around to get out of the river, but she suddenly feels a kiss on the back of her neck, which causes her to blush uncontrollably, she immediately hides face behind her hands due to how red she's becoming.

"You think I'm a liar?" Chant says telepathically, Bella pushes herself away from Chant and then thinks to herself, she then says "You jerk, I knew you only did this to see me naked".

Chant grabs Bella's waist & pulls her close then kisses her on the lips once more, "Yes I lied, but I lied because ever since I laid my eyes on you I've desired you, I've craved you, & though I've lived for a long time, I've never craved something more than I crave you".

"It doesn't matter, you lied to me," Bella says telepathically, "I regret lying to you believe me, but I had no choice, I needed you", "Why would you do that for someone like me" Bella responds.

"Never say that again! You could hate me if you desire but I will love you always, there is not a single thing about you I wouldn't risk my entire life for in an instant, so never say that again" Chant says.

Bella begins blushing even harder, Chant then says "I know your disenchanted desire for love & affection has caused you to be isolated in both mind & body, but that ends this day, I will give you as much love & affection as you could ever want", Bella then closes her eyes & says "Get out of my mind".

Chant then begins touching & caressing Bella's body all over, & after a couple minutes of these sexual acts of love, both Bella & Chant begin to kiss & hug each other intensely, which causes them to lose track of time.

Later that night, Bella & Chant are lying down in the enchanted forest when a shooting star comes flying through the sky, Chant turns his gaze towards Bella and then kisses her on the neck "You ever made a wish upon a shooting star?" Chant says telepathically, "I'm finding it difficult to believe anything that comes out of you after that lie you told earlier?" Bella responds.

"Then if nothing else, believe this" Chant then kisses her on the lips, "My wish is to have you in both mind & body," Chant says, Bella then turns her head in the other direction in embarrassment while covering her mouth with her forearm, she then says "Fine, just this once I'll let you have your wish".

When Chant wakes up the next morning & sees Bella sleeping peacefully on his chest, he decides to let her rest there until she wakes up.

Bella wakes up 2 hours later & sees Chant sleeping peacefully while holding her in his arms, so she decides to let him rest there until he wakes up.
