Chapter 34: The Childling

Frustration and obstinence courses through Kiora's veins. Her cheeks flush from the heat of passion. 'I cannot believe that matra wouldn't be happy for me.' Kiora's thoughts beat into an inconsistent rhythm. She walks out of her wardrobe with a pounding heart.

Kiora shuffles over to her beside. The tired Daemik yawns. Kiora's shift in emotions leaves her more fatigued than a day of physical training. 'Time for sleep.' She thinks while in mid-stretch. Kiora leans forward onto the blankets. However, a golden chain falls out from her person. 'Can't forget about you!' She muses.

Delicately, Kiora pulls the necklace off of her neck. The metal lays cold in her palm. The young Daemik uses a free hand to lift the mattress. Once the box-spring is visible, Kiora gingerly lays the charm in a hole. A passing thought of Luce brings a smile. 'I'm glad that I'm not here without him.' She blushes.
