Treacherous Minds

As per decorum, Aureus gave a polite greeting towards the King of Agartha and his mate, but Morpheus simply ignored Draven and spoke to Ember with a dismayed smile. "Well, I was thinking of inviting you to join me and Aureus in touring some of the scenic spots you hadn't seen beyond the Forest of the Elves …but…I guess not today." 

With this pretty little lady smelling so enticingly sweet, not even Morpheus had the confidence he could resist. He was scared of the beastly instincts inside him. 

Seeing how Morpheus changed his plan on his own, Ember realized it was probably due to the smell brought about by her so-called fertile days. Ember was reminded of Draven's instruction of staying away from those of the shapeshifter race.

"Hmm, maybe some other day," Ember agreed. "But then, I already made plans for today so I would have declined. I will be visiting the territory of the witches with Erlos."
