mage. In times past it was seen as an honor to host a mage on his pilgrimage, now that so few make the trip it is even more so. As far as whom Moriudonius is, you will have to ask another, I am not the one to tell you. ” Bahia said hotly then she looked at Thad and her hard face softened. “Why did you save me? You could have gone with the other Vathari. It’s not like it matters to you what village hosts you.”
    Thad thought about the question. It was true he could have easily taken the Vathari mage ’s invitation. There was bound to be mages in the other village who could have helped him, it wasn’t as if it had to be Sae-Thae. So why did he refuse? “I didn’t want to go with a person who tried to kill a person who saved my life. I owed you a debt and I am not one who easily forgets a debt.” Thad said unsure of his own words as he looked into Bahia’s large dark orbs.
    The next thing Thad knew was that he was held in a tight embrace as Bahia pulled him to her. A jolt of excitement rushed through his body as their lips met. Her hands felt like velvet on his skin. Every touch made his skin dance. There were no words said between the two as their kisses began to linger. His mind racing Thad lost control of time as he succumbed to the Vathari’s offered embrace.
    When Thad awoke the next morning the events of the previous night passed through his mind. Looking over he stared at the bare body o f the woman lying next to him. It had been his first taste of the female flesh and he couldn’t lie to himself, he had enjoyed it but now in the light of a new day he felt guilt pitting in his stomach. He knew he had no true feeling for Bahia he had only acted out of impulse and now what would come of it?
    “Don’t you humans know how to sleep in and just enjoy the night?” Bahia asked in a sultry tone as her hands pulled Thad back down to the ground. Her lips sought his again and he didn’t pull away, they felt as soft now as they had the night before. “What has you so worked up this early in the day?”
    “How do you know if its day or night?” Thad asked trying to change the topic but from the look on her face it was obvious it wasn’t going to work. “I think we made a mistake. I can’t stay with you; I need to get back to my own people, my own home. Nothing can come of this.” Thad said his voice dark and boding.
    Bahia’s lips found his again this time he tried to pull away but she wouldn’t relent. She pulled him in hard sinking her teeth into his lower lip and biting down hard. Thad felt the trickle of blood roll down his chin. “Does that make it wrong? It was an enjoyable night nothing more. We Vathari live for battle always knowing death awaits us. We live life; we don’t let it slip away. I will not regret my actions; it was an enjoyable night one I plan to revisit for as long as you shall allow it.” Bahia said as she ran her finger over Thad’s chin wiping off the blood.
    Thad tried to resist as Bahia pulled in to her but his resolve weakened as he looked into her eyes. She was right. He had faced death many times over. Would he regret his time with Bahia? The answer was simple, no he wouldn’t. He wouldn’t have regretted if he had taken Brianna either. Sighing Thad allowed the Vathari temptress to pull him back down to the cold stone floor.

CHAPTER IV
    Bahia refused to stay hidden long and soon they were back on the road to Xi’han. They moved slowly in an effort not to attract undue attention in case enemies were nearby. Their days were filled with silence only broken by faint echoes that rang out in the darkness. At night the two would talk and gradually the hostile demeanor of Bahia disappeared though she was never what Thad would call overly affectionate. She was a warrior through and through, everything she did was like an act of conquest. Thad tried not to focus too much on what the future might bring instead he tried to follow Bahia’s example and live for the moment but it was
