Price of peace (private With ZX-MetalMonster)

[ayais]

The man picked up elitot “its over .. little king.” He said in a mocking tone Elitos eyes widen seeing all sorts of men on the ground some were still alive .. his hands started to glow a bright white light his eyes turned form brown to blue as he walked up to each man it didn’t matter what side his hands started heal the solider it seem it was sending there body back in time the men that were not part of Helments army fled as the other watched in amazement healer or any sort of magic was pass off as noting but a myth he pass out shortly after all the men who were still somewhat alive were healed he didn’t mean to do it the power inside him took over.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Having returned to the prince just in time to see what he is capable of, Helheim didn't interrupt him and made no complaints when he healed his enemies as well. In stead, the war lord observed the younger man's power at work, unsure what was happening and how it was possible but trying to understand it better. Only once he was passed out did Helheim approached the smaller man and picked him up the same way he had just a while before.

 

A while passed as they marched on from the battlefield and once far enough that any reinforcements of the enemies army couldn't find them they set up camp again. There was little Helheim could do to help set things up with the prince in his arms but he preferred to keep him close to himself, especially now that such a strange thing had happened and he had no idea how his soldiers would treat the younger man because of it.

 

Once everything was ready for them to settle down and rest again, he gave a few short orders and retreated to his tent to take care of the few minor wounds he'd earned. The prince ended up in his bed again and he didn't bother his while he recovered though he was concerned for him.

[ayais]

Eliot brown eyes open he couldn’t recall much of what happen he just felt those arms that

made him feel so safe carry him “did you win..?” he asked he had not lost control like that in a long time his power inside him took over on the feld . The men were still not sure what to think but they understood the boy belong to there leader .

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Helheim was busy cleaning a cut on the side of his torso when the younger man woke and didn't notice him until he spoke.

-"Yes." Now that his attention was called back to the prince he seemed unable to return to his work. He placed down the damp cloth he'd been fumbling with and sat beside the younger man, all the while watching his carefully.

 

-"What happened?" He asked him openly, seeing no reason not to question him considering how he was technically his servant. Obviously the prince couldn't recall everything and Helheim was partially glad for it but still wanted to know more about the ability he'd used.

[ayais]

Eliot noticed that Heleim was still hurt he looked at him his hart started to beat faster he was starting to really care about him when he was asked what happen he held his head trying to think “ I.. you won.. do you want me to dress your wounds.. can I really trust you..?” he said softly not aware that he already exposed his gift to not only Heleim men but some of another kingdom.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

-"I'll take care of my wounds, don't think about that now." Helheim responded harshly and sighed, frustrated with the prince for trying to shift focus to something else when they were speaking about something important.

 

-"I'm trying to look out for you... Don't hide things from me." He said more softly, trying to assure the younger man that he could trust him. He knew his enemies must had learned of the miracle the prince had performed and he wasn't even sure of how his own men would treat the smaller male now, he would have to be more protective of him and he wanted to at least know more about his ability.

[ayais]

Eliot sighed he could tell by his harsh tone something happen he tryied to recall anything that happen on the battel flide but he was blank . when he heard that he shouldn’t keep thing form him he gasp did he lose control is that why.. ? He looked at Helheim as he place his hands on the mans chest as his hands started to glow a soft whit as his wounds heals a blessing .. form the gods.. a long forgettn gift.. I can heal .. light wounds to near death..” I didn’t want to tell you because that power.. I was afraid you make me use it for the wrong reason ..

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Despite seeing what the prince had done before and understanding what his intentions were when placing his hands on him, Helheim shifted uncomfortably for a moment as the younger man used his ability on him. He watched with amazement and curiosity as his wounds faded away and before thinking the action through wrapped his arms around the smaller man's waist to keep him close while he spoke to him.

 

-"I'm not going to abuse your power... and you didn't have to use it for me, those cuts were nothing..." Helheim assured the prince while he gazed down at him. He appreciated what he'd done for his men, he was aware of how many lives the younger man had saved, he only didn't know how to thank him properly for it.

 

-"Do you feel well? You passed out after healing the others." The prince looked like he was fine now but the soldier was still concerned for him and wanted to make sure.

[ayais]

He was in control this time he smiled once he was done seeing the taller healed made him feel good. Then when Helheim put his arms around him he blushed it was very gentel and loving he liked the way it flet he placed his head on Helheim chest . “ thank you.. and I wanted to.. you said not to keep thing form you so I be happy to heal you..” he smiled “ so long as we are alone.. “ he then nodded “ my head hurts but am okay..” when he was told what happen “ so .. I used my power.. I lose control.. he gasp “ oh no I am so sorry..”

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Helheim was unsure if he'd been too forward and had made things awkward by holding the younger man so close but when the prince leaned into his chest he felt more comfortable with his arms around him.

 

-"You haven't done anything wrong, you don't need to apologize for anything." He assured the younger man and stepped back from his slowly, his hands slipping along his back to pause on hi hips.

-"Lie down if you're feeling dizzy, we're staying here for the rest of the day so everyone can recover enough for the real battle." He explained and offered the prince a hint of a smile as he finally let go of him altogether and started to pull on the clothes he'd taken of in order to treat his wounds that were now gone.

[ayais]

Elito liked the embraces he was said when he pulled away “Helheim… “ he said his name but stoped it was best just to leave thing unsaid he nodded “ I should go get us food…” he said but he held his head “ are we safe here..?” he asked looking at him he sowly sat down . his body had not recovered form healing all those men . “ thank you.. for being so understand.” He was really shock to see how kind the other man was being.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Helheim nodded lightly in acknowledgment of the younger man's thanks and opened the tent so he could keep an eye on the other soldiers while he was still inside. The weather outside was bright and warm and the atmosphere was pleasant despite them just having to deal with an unexpected foe. Everyone was glad to be allowed to settle down for same time, and after all they had won the latest encounter, they had reason to be satisfied.

 

When he'd first accepted to take prince as his possession, Helheim had planed to sell him off as one as well, it had taken time for him to develop this sensitivity to his feelings. The small man was younger than he'd expected and he would see his efforts to do as he was commanded and not cause trouble. Helheim was weak to someone who seemed so fragile and innocent.

 

-"We are, don't worry. We've marched a distance from where we battled and the terrain is concealing us, it's unlikely the enemy will find and attack us, and even if they do we are well positioned to defend." For a moment the soldier spoke as though the other man was still an aristocrat with power and he his servant. He explain to him how everything was organized the same way he would to his king when trying to prove himself to him.

 

-"As for food, I'll bring you something if you're hungry. I would rather do that than worry if you'll faint somewhere and cause me trouble again." Despite the words he chose it was clear he wasn't upset or disappointed with the prince.

[ayais]

Elito enjoy the sun comeing in from the tent he thouth about many battels to come he couldn’t heal everyone like that he would have to try to stay in control or he would be putting his own life at risk he was growing very found of Hellheim he didn’t think he could care so much about someone who at 1st seem so cold

 

He was happy to be abel to rest for the rest of the day..he enjoyd Hellheim spoke to him it almost made him forget that he sriped himselfe of all right and titels to give him self to the other man . “if only..” he whispered knowing that he would never trun on his king . “ yes food would be great but only if you eat with me he blushed at the other joke he knew that he wasn’t upset . “what is your king like?” he asked wounding if he could get Hellheim to chang sides?

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Helheim didn't sense what the prince was considering and hoping to convince him of, he wouldn't have been very happy if he was aware of it.

 

-"I'm not sure what kind of answer you expect.. We've expanded under his rule, the kingdom is doing well, there's no conflict among our own people and we're gathering riches, growing stronger." He described his superior briefly and right after left to get them food, not leaving time for the prince to ask another question or comment.It wasn't long before he returned and handed one bowl to the younger man before sitting down beside him again.

 

-"The kingdom your family rules, it isn't as large. I've studied it's military and some of it's history before we set off to conquer that place. It hasn't expanded in a long time." Helheim stated what he knew but what he really wanted was for the prince to tell him more about his home.

[ayais]

The truth was Elitos kingdom was much lager then it appeared he sighed “ if only we started on the same side.. or I could have convinced you to fight for me..” he said as he took the bowle and started to eat saying noting more. he sighed he was feeling home sick and didnt want to see any more battles . but of cores he wouldnt compline it wasnt his place.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Silence settled between them but Helheim watched the prince and was considering scenarios where they were comrades from the beginning.

-"Tell me then, what would things be like if I was your soldier or if I'd turned my back on my king? Obviously we wouldn't be here now but what use would you have for me when your kingdom doesn't send out armies to capture other lands?" It was pointless to think of these things when there was now no way for them to happen but Helheim was interested in the topic despite that

[ayais]

“If you were my soilder there a very special and inmate ceremony the true king of the land can do with a man like you.. but sadly there are no men like you in my kingdom.. the ceremony would give the soilder have you heard of dragoon sterght.. “ he really shouldn’t relive how myichal his land was but he had come to trust Helheim “even if your men didn’t follow you.. there be noting you could not have..” he said softly as lean in to him .

“I cant seem to forget I was a king.. and as for my army not coming that was my deisson .. as you seen I don’t do well with blood shed and didn’t think you were anymore then a warlord but your more then that…” he touched the man cheek gentel and smiled . he then lost his never and his hand away.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Helheim wasn't tempted by riches and mystical power, he was loyal to his country more so than to his king and nothing could convince him to betray the men who followed him and the people he protected. However, the point of their conversation wasn't him considering if he would have liked to work for the prince, it was a chance for the younger man to recall his home and think of ways their first meeting could have ended more happily.

At the gentle touch, Helheim smiled softly and when the prince moved his hand away he caught it and tangled their fingers together. He leaned down and pressed a kiss against the younger man's cheek.

[ayais]

Elito was always a good king and he loved his people he was very home sick he knew the man was Loyally but he wasn’t sure to who he didn’t ask but when Helheim caught his hand it surprised him he blushed as there finger lace together and he felt the strong mans soft lips on his cheek he smiled . “ Am glad its not just me.. I like you..” he said softly he knew he shouldn’t like the man but he was starting to see much more then solider when he looked at him.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

-"Don't grow too attached to me, we are at war after all." Helheim was at every moment aware of where they were and what danger they were in. Having been put into battles even when he was barely more than a child, he'd grown use to the pressure and wasn't distracted by it or frightened but he wanted to prince to be aware that he could be killed at any moment. What Helheim didn't mention though was what would happen with the prince if he were gone, how his men would treat him then and where he would end up.

 

-"You're not suppose to be here, no one bothered to prepare you for anything like this and you're still young on top of that. I'm just trying to show you some kindness so you can pull through it." Helheim explained the reason why he treated the younger man the way he did though he left out that he was beginning to develop a liking for him as well.

[ayais]

Elito sighed “its abit to late for that…” he said sofly He saw Helheim as a soilder right now that mask the man wear so often he did not have the power alone to bring out more they would have to go back to his kingdom for that.. “you made your own war.. many simple want peace..”

 

“Are you saying you want me to go..” he asked if I had a hores I could get back to my kingdom in a day or two ..” he pulled away and curled up in bed food still left in his bowl

 

Meanwhile out side the camp the only man in the army who was more loyal to the king then Hellman had sent a hark with a letter to his king hearing all about the power Hellheim pet could bring in and that the boy had magice.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Though the younger man didn't say anything to contradict or argue with him but Helheim sensed that he'd made the prince upset with what he'd said.

 

-"No, I don't want you to go." He clarified quickly and placed himself close by the smaller man though without pressing against him even the slightest. He didn't have the time to explain all of the reasons why he couldn't allow the prince to leave on his own or even with a few men to guard him, and he didn't want to mention why he preferred to keep the prince close to himself.

[ayais]

“I won’t let you die.. are you worried about leaving me behind… am already attached to you.. its to late for that.he pulled him self closer siting on his lap. “I want you to kiss me me… then..” he said sofly leaning close to the man lipe “you don’t need to be soilder when its just us..”

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Helheim was left quiet after this answer, his eyes locked on the younger man but calm and analytical as always.He glanced only for a moment towards the opening on the tent and the world outside though he knew they were out of view of the other where they sat.

 

-"Alright then." He agreed with a light nod, though there was no sign in his voice that he would no longer act like a soldier when they were alone. He pressed the palm of his hand gently against the younger man's cheek and wrapped an arm around him. He glanced into the other man's eyes, giving him a last chance to give him some hint that he didn't want this, and then leaned closer and put their lips together.

[ayais]

Eliot smiled his hart started racing . If he could have a world inside this tent he would be happy . He knew outside the tent Helheim wasn’t his alone but in here.. in here it could be a prefect little world. He wished the other would let go in this world he felt those arms around him each time he was in the man arms he feel for him alittel more.

 

He looked his eyes he could tell he was unsure so he smiled and touched his cheek closing his eyes feeling warm some what dry lipes on his still soft smooth small lipes he open his mout not even a inch as he enjoyed the touch letting him know he didn’t want to stop.
