The Sorcerer of Azurai

"What's her name?" Nyris asked looking down at the new lifeform before him.

"Hazel, that's the color her eyes become in the light." Piper smiled, everyone took turns holding Hazel until they decided to place her in a crib by her mother. Nyris went into another room with Magnus to speak while Sage remained in room with Piper.

Sage sat on the edge of the bed looking at the baby "She's beautiful, Piper."

"Yeah." Piper turned to her side "But childbirth is no joke, I've never had that much pain in my entire life, she was worth it though. As much as I'd love to go on about my little bundle, we need to talk."

"About me and Nyris?"

"Duh. It's too obvious, you two are holding everything in and for what?"

"I don't know." Sage shrugged "Nyris? Me? Marriage?"

Piper pointed her index finger at Sage and wagged it up and down "Excuses, if you're meant to be, if you feel something more, something that's right, then marriage shouldn't matter. Just on how you feel, Sage. The product of what I and Magnus feel is there in that basinet. One day when she's older, she'll go searching for something the same, because love is the most powerful thing on earth. Stronger than any magic."

Love. It could overcome all, drop death and dismay to their knees, it was a source of hope, of freedom. It was what made Sage's heart do backflips whenever she saw Nyris, what made him blush when she smiled, looked into his eyes. Maybe waiting would only hold them further apart, and Sage could no longer stand it. And when you couldn't stand something, sometimes you had to give in.

It was still day when they returned to the island. Nyris was getting something to drink from the shelf as Sage's eyes followed him.

"Okay...what's wrong?" Nyris asked turning around "You've been quiet the entire way back here."

"I've come to a realization."

"Oh and what would that be?" Nyris leaned against the wall trying to follow.

"That trying to contain how I feel for you is garbage. It's hard for me to even look at you and not feel my heart beat, I don't want to hide them anymore."

"It's-

"We're protected here, Nyris. No one is coming on this land without your permission. You're afraid to open your heart up aga-

"No, I don't want to hurt you."

"Hurt me? You've been my shield ever since I came here, and my sword." His brows furrowed.

"If we don't connect, if our feelings fade and I broke your heart-

"Then this would be on me, I'd chance you if you would. Nyris I want to be with you...with you intimately." Nyris paused for a minute, did she really want him to be her first, without a ring, without anything to offer her but himself?

"You'd take me without an official marriage? A ceremony? How could I take such a delicate flower and ravage it without knowing what would become of it, if it would survive?"

Sage walked towards him and looked him in the eyes "Even if it's matured? Even if it can handle the winds, rough winds the storm sweeps across it's face? Nyris, I love you, please don't deny me love, from you."

Nyris could feel himself coil inside at the thought of touching her milky skin "You know that I love you, Sage."

"Then make love to me."

"Sage-

"I want this as badly as you do" Sage wrapped her arms around him, leaned up on her tip toes and kissed him again "I want to feel your love."

Nyris was feeling himself give in to this temptation, so he swept her off her feet and carried her to the bedroom where he laid her down.

"Are you sure? When I'm aroused I can't contain my forms."

"I'm sure." To prove her point Sage gave her dress a single tug and felt it sink off her body down onto the floor. It was her first time exposing herself to someone that wasn't a servant trying to change her clothing. Nyris tossed his shirt to the floor and shoved off his pants, underneath he was as she thought, muscular and lean.

His rod was pointing up at the sky excitedly, but being as this was her first time Nyris wanted go slow, be gentle. So after he leaned in to kiss her he lead a trail of kisses down the side of her neck, listening to her gasps, between her breasts, down over her flat stomach, even over her naval. His face went down to the side of her inner thigh, kissing it over and over while rubbing between the other.

"Hah.." He heard her breathe out as he kissed the spots, causing her legs to twitch. He anchored his body over hers.

"Just stay with me okay?" He connected his hands with hers, interlocking their fingers together. Sage gave a slight nod. He laid his chest onto hers, her nipples rubbed against him softly as he guided himself towards her gate. He inched his sword carefully into her entry way, watching her face change as he hit against a small barrier.

"It will hurt for a moment, but I want you to stay with me. Watch my eyes."

"Okay." With a small thrust inside he broke the barrier, Sage felt the small tear and squeezed her eyes breathing in deeply, the pain wasn't overwhelming, but it made her feel sore. Nyris stopped and waited for the pain to subside. When Sage opened up her eyes she gave him another nod, for him to keep going, she wasn't going to give him up so quickly.

Nyris kissed her lips softly and pushed himself inside her, feeling her tight walls try to accommodate his girth as he slid further down. It was a new sensation running through Sage's body as Nyris kissed her, filling her steadily he began to pull and push into her.

She as so warm inside, so plushy, he could feel his body start to heat up. The change started immediately as he began his descent, pulling part way back and pushing back all the way into the silky cove of wonder.

His stiff rod was changing, turning hotter. Sage remembered Piper telling her how his member could change into a molten lava and igneous collaboration. It was very hot inside her, but it didn't melt her flesh, or burn her, just small stings as he ran himself through her. His mouth took her tongue in his and they wrestled for control, grinding himself against her body, feeling her water inside.

Her walls tightened against his form clinging to it's heated generosity. Their arms stretched over their heads and out as they made love, over and over again, wanting to feel one another, sense their desires, give into them, then together they have a sweet release.

Nyris then felt himself start to cool, he in fact became cool, cool as ice. Now his member was that of a frozen over in a smooth icy form sliding in and out of her well. It felt so good that Sage moaned against her lover's lips as he gave his body to her.

When she felt him turn to wind she felt invigorated, warm and cold air joined together whirling inside her like a small cyclone. But Nyris felt himself lose energy with each form and after the third his body returned to normal.

They pleasured one another until they reached a high valley and let themselves exude all their passion out together. Nyris himself felt sore and rolled to the side of Sage who smiled at him. His breathing was shallow, so it took him time before he could speak.

"I'm mature now?" Sage asked.

"You still have ways to go little one, but it seems that your powers are no longer dormant."

All around the bedroom were flowers and some type of growths underneath beds of grass, all she needed was a release, Nyris' love.

The very next day, the lovesick duo bathed together under the falls. Nyris had already took Sage's lips as he pressed her against the stone wall letting his hands roam over her pert breasts down to her waist. She wrapped her legs around him and eagerly accepted his member inside once more. She felt slick and warming on the inside, it was a nice feeling.

Her face went red as his body transformed again, he was earth, hard and sturdy, rocking against her body, quickly in need. Her flesh was so malleable against his touch that despite not turning to fire he felt his whole body fill with it.

And then the sky darkened, the gray clouds came together and the sun was hidden, the rain fell down rapidly like quick fire. This wasn't a natural storm, Sage knew this as well as Nyris did, he was transforming again.

No flame, no ice, no wind, no earth, it was something different, tough and solid still. Nyris thrusted up, seeking her melting pot for shelter, furiously as the rain poured. Then lightning struck, it didn't make Sage jump as she felt small bolts of electricity up through his body into her. She arched her back feeling the bursts that climbed higher and higher as the thunder boomed loudly drowning out the sounds of the water running, the wind howls, the leaves rustling.

His storm form took on a mind of it's own, the electric currents seemed to revive her energy as her nails ran down the sides of his back, he took her higher than she'd ever expect feeling the bubbling in her loins, she knew they were both close.

Every second that he made love to her he felt his past shrink, the bad shrink, but not fade completely. He needed them to shrink to pave a future, their future.

Once they reached their peaks they felt one another explode, the skies started to turn blue again, the clouds white, the sun came out and the winds settled. Nyris looked down at Sage, seeing her as the woman he had fell for, who would stay with him through any situation. Sage saw a man who would always protect her, cherish her, care for her. they shared a single kiss under the raging waters before they returned the their home, to their bed, where they gave to one another what they would never give to any other.

It wasn't long before Sage found herself pregnant with Nyris' child, despite them not being married he was her husband in mind and she was his wife, his one and only. Nyris used his powers on whim a few times to transport them into the world, to visit the city, visit Piper and share the news, as well as visit Sage' parents. They always went under cloaks in case of any old enemies, to protect themselves as well as their child.

Piper with her husband sailed out to the island with Hazel around the time that Sage was going into labor. Piper held her hand through the entire birth with Nyris sitting on the other side of her kissing her palm.

She had given birth to a girl who she named Storm, Nyris loved storms, he was especially grateful for the one that blew Sage to him, fate or not, feeling or not, she had came for a reason. She filled his life with joy and love, bringing him out more into the world to absorb the new and the old.

Storm had her mother's eyes , but her father's coloring, and like her father her hair was the color of midnight. As time passed on Sage learned to shape her powers, use them wisely.

Storm was now ten and she had adopted her mother's personality, she loved to read and study things, wander about the island. After Nyris lectured her for trying to climb a tree to reach a high hanging piece of fruit, she was sitting on the couch , arms crossed waiting for her mother. Once she arrived, Sage knew that Storm's curiosity ad gotten the best of her again.

"What happened this time?" Sage asked setting down a bundle of flowers onto the table.

"Someone wanted to fall off a tree." Nyris said smelling one of the flowers.

"Dad, I wouldn't have fall. I've been working on levitating."

"No, levitation. You just wanted to climb and look up at the top of the tree didn't you? I know you love to watch the entire forest."

"And you love a good storm." Storm stuck her tongue out at her father.

"Both me and your mother do." Nyris leaned down to kiss Sage who kissed him back, Storm wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"We're visiting your aunt Piper tomorrow, so I hope you know that you can't climb the trees there or jump into the deep end of the ocean. Hazel's going to be watching you too."

"Come on mom, Hazel gets to swim in the deep in. I know it's, because she has a tail, but still. I have to have some fun, have a heart."

"You are our heart." Sage smiled, she kissed Storm's head "Now go make up your room." Storm sighed, but went to her room, it was right next to her parent's, a magic installation thanks to Nyris along with some wood and vine sap.

Sage turned to Nyris who was grinning back at her "When are we telling her?" He asked.

"After she's done fuming. Then I'll tell her about her new baby brother or sister."

"I hope she loves them, Storm can be hard to please."

"She will, just promise me that you'll love me still."

"I'll love you until the end of time, every day Sage, I'll love you." Sage leaned up to give another warming kiss as they waited for their daughter to return.
