On the night before the Ancient Trials were to begin, a young man and a girl in her early twenties traversed the dark forest, gliding side by side as they travelled further and further away from Magic City.
Though the girl was curious why her Master had not brought anyone else with them, and why he had even asked his Shadow to stay behind, she did not raise any questions.
She did not even ask where they were going and what they were going to do.
To her, being by his side was everything, and in times like these where they were alone, she felt happier than ever.
Time passed, the night became quieter, and then they finally reached a waterfall, which was surely quite beautiful in the daytime, but it looked simply surreal as the flowing water shimmered under the moonlight.
Her curiosity finally peaked when she watched her Master construct a small wooden cottage by the side of the stream and then enter it.
She followed him inside and entered the room where he was.
"What are your intentions, Senpai?" Iseul playfully asked as she watched him create a bed with a softer wood, and then she tested it as she proceeded to sit on it. "It's comfy." She curiously nodded, a little surprised that it was comfier than any bed she had slept in before.
"Is that so?" Keith chuckled at her words and then pulled her chin up, making her look him in the eyes.
He smiled as her heart suddenly started racing, her eyes quivering in anticipation, and he did not pull back when she suddenly reached up, wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss.
Putting his hands under her things, Keith gently picked her up, and Iseul instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist, fearing that he would escape her kiss.
Her silly fear, however, proved unfounded as he reciprocated her kiss with more aggression, and when they separated, she was left breathless.
"Take me..." She requested whilst she panted, and he kissed her again, this time, very softly.
"I intend to." He told her before he climbed into the bed, digging his knees in it, and then he dropped her down on it before proceeding to unbutton his shirt.
Iseul immediately supported herself with her hands and then started taking off her own clothes, throwing them on the floor as she discarded them.
It was not the first time she had seen him naked, but she still felt a little lightheaded as she traced his perfection with her hands like a curious maiden, which she was.
She moaned when he leaned in and planted a kiss on her neck, and Iseul just pulled him down on her as she sealed his mouth. Her right hand clutched onto his hair and her left went down as it grabbed onto his hardness, clumsily stroking it.
She did not want to wait even a minute more as she gently lined him up on her soft folds, bringing him to her entrance.
"Hurt me." She broke the kiss and demanded, inciting a smile on his lips.
"Be careful what you wish for." He bit onto her lower lip as he suddenly thrust into her, tearing his way in.
"Ahhh!" Iseul screamed in pain as he kept entering her without stopping even for a moment, but she bore it and never once asked him to stop or tried to pull back. Instead, she fought against her instinct and tried to relax herself as much as she could. But it was impossible.
She then wrapped her arms around his torso, pulling him down on her, wanting to be pressed under his waist, hoping to find some comfort in it.
When he finally filled her to the brim, her tears uncontrollably poured out of her eyes in pain, relief, and fulfilment.
She was finally his, completely his, and he was hers too now.
Keith gently planted a kiss on her head, giving her the time she needed to control her emotions, and when he felt her insides relax again, he moved.
He picked up the pace gradually, hurting her as she wanted him to so that she would forever remember this moment.
As a defence mechanism against his assault, her insides soon started secreting some lubrication to ease the pain, and minutes later, wet, sloppy sounds could be discerned in the room as he pounded her insides without remorse, making her cry in an aching ecstasy.
As he left his marks inside of her, she too marked his body with her teeth and claws as she passionately moaned and cried under him, and then painfully sank her teeth on his shoulder when her mind threatened to go blank as a powerful orgasm jolted through her.
"Don't stop..." She managed to tell him as her mind went blank, and he was not going to stop even if she had not asked him.
Keith was relentless, selfish, and adamant about torturing her, and the poor inexperienced her had to bear for nearly an hour before he gave in and pressed hard against her cervix, unleashing his essence straight into her womb.
"Master!~" She cried out again as another orgasm hit her, and this time, there was this strange warmth that accompanied it that made her feel happy from the depths of her soul.
Keith gritted his teeth as her insides painfully clamped around him, providing him immense pleasure and fueling his lust, but he bore the urge to start ravishing her again.
He gave her a couple of minutes as he planted kisses on her head, and when her mind finally regained some clarity, he kissed her on her lips before he started to move again.
Iseul moaned into his mouth as tremors ran through her body, and unbeknownst to her, tears started leaking from her eyes again as a sense of fulfilment washed over her.
He was her everything, and she finally had a part of him for herself as well.
This time, he was gentler much gentler as he made love to her, allowing her to experience a different form of pleasure, and after filling her up with more of his essence, he flipped her over, taking her form behind in another relentless assault that threatened her consciousness.
Their carnal indulgence continued until dawn before Keith sneakily put her to sleep.
"Let's start." He spoke to the System in his mind, and closed his eyes, focusing on his heart and looking deep inside it.
Keith watched as a vibrant drop of Blood suddenly disappeared from his heart, and soon he sensed its presence again from his side, from the girl who was wrapped in his arms.
When he opened his eyes again, he watched the changes take place, her body growing taller, her skin and hair gaining more lustre, her already beautiful features being perfected some more.
Under the instructions of System, Keith unleashed the Black Flame from his body, shrouding them both in it, and then Iseul's body started leaking a black flame of her own.
An Orb of white light suddenly appeared in the air, above Iseul, and then it slowly descended into her body, starting a new round of changes inside her.
Keith waited for an hour to let the Blank Physique assimilate with the Bloodline he had granted her, and then he started on the next phase as he pressed her under him, and then entered her again, beginning to make love to the sleeping girl, who soon opened her eyes, meeting his Amethyst orbs with her now jet black orbs.
Perhaps she did sense the changes that had taken place, as the black flame emanating from her flared up, but Iseul chose to not pay attention to them as she reciprocated his love by thrusting her hips back at him whilst she pulled him into a deep kiss.
All her tiredness had mysteriously been washed away, and she felt more invigorated than ever. And she was the aggressive one this time as she fought for dominance in the bed, inciting hours of aggressive carnal indulgence that they both enjoyed to their heart's content.
Keith only stopped when he sensed her Blank Physique finally assimilating with the purest Darkness, which meant that the first step was finally underway. The Black Flame around her body started receding into her, and he recalled his own flames as well.
"Senpai." Iseul frowned as she failed to get hold of her Aura. "My Aura..."
"The first phase of Primal Desolation, Earth Refinement." He told her. "It will take a few days before you can use it again."
"Oh." She was not surprised that she had entered the Primal Desolation, and now her curiosity was on the power that she sensed coursing through her body.
Even though she had not tried it, she felt that her physical strength had seen an immense rise.
However, her mind was soon occupied by some other thoughts as a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes.
"Senpai, I want more..." She seductively whispered, planting a kiss on his neck.
"Do you?" He smiled as he grabbed the soft mound on her chest and squeezed it.
"I want to try the lotus and the wheelbarrow." She giggled and then grabbed onto his hardness, squeezing it as she reached for his lips.
To her happiness, he chuckled and kissed her before pulling her onto his lap and getting into the lotus position with her.
Iseul moaned in pleasure as she dropped her weight on his hardness, filling herself up again, and then wholeheartedly indulged in her lust once again, trying different positions one after another and choosing her favourites.
The two did not care what was happening in the world as they were solely focused on each other, and hundreds of miles away, in Magic City, the first day of the Ancient Trials was in full swing.
