The Emperor
Your limbs ache as you lay down to finally get some much needed rest. After a full day of adventuring through Faerûn, you deserve some time to yourself. The day you just had was particularly bad. Filled with battle upon battle. Your arms ache from swinging around your weapon, and your legs are basically screaming to be given a break. You may have come out a little worse for wear as well. You have bandages covering your mid section, along with bruises and cuts on your face. It was…an intense day. You stretch your arms above your head and groan, finally relaxing.
A yawn exits your throat, and you turn over. The moment you close your eyes, you find yourself drifting into a peaceful sleep. When you open your eyes, however, you are not back at camp. You sit up slowly, eyeing the area around you. Familiarity sets in when you realize you are currently in your dream visitor’s realm. You look around for the mind flayer in question, smiling when your eyes land on the figure. He’s in his real form, back turned away from you as he looks over the realm.
You push yourself onto your feet, walking over to him slowly. You go to put your hand on his shoulder, but his voice stops you before you can make contact.
“You are very daring.” he says, still looking away.
You’re not sure how to respond to that, eyes blinking in confusion. Is that all he pulled you here to say? “I’m sorry?” you ask. He lets out a low chuckle, one that seems more afraid than amused. “Don’t be sorry. It’s a part of you I have always admired greatly. Your determination, your bravery, it all makes you…amazing.” his words are calculated, with a bit of warmth beneath them. “However… It… makes me nervous when you charge head first into battle.” he says after taking a breath.
The realization that he’s worried about you hits you like a punch from an enemy. You stand there awestruck for a moment, letting a silence wash over. After a while you clear your throat, and let your hand rest on his arm softly. He stiffens at the touch, before turning his head down to look at you.
“I’m okay.” you mumble, reassuringly.
He doesn’t say anything for a moment. He simply reaches out and cups your face with his hand. “You could have died today.” he turns fully towards you, and in his eyes you can see just how scared he is. “But I didn’t.” you respond, nudging your head into his grasp. He takes his other hand and cups your other cheek. Now with both of his hands on your face, he tilts your head up to look into his eyes. “I don’t know what I would do if I lost you.”
He leans forward and rests his forehead against yours, his eyes squeezed shut. You let the moment play out, placing your hands on his. The two of you stand there in silence for what feels like forever. Here, you are safe. Here you are loved.
He finally pulls away, letting hsi touch linger for a moment. “Thank you.” he whispers.
“For what?”
“For allowing me this moment to hold you.”
Omeluum
The thing about the Underdark, is that it is never really safe. You may find some places more pleasant than others, but danger still lurks at every corner. You never know what monster or spore you may run into. Even with having vast knowledge of the place, you are bound to get hurt at some point. That makes the moments of calmness extra special. Still, you wouldn't dare live anywhere else. Your research is very important to you. Not only that, but you’ve managed to find something truly special in your pursuit of knowledge.
You hum a bit as you look over the resources you managed to score on your last outing, mind at ease now that you’re finally back at the Myconid Colony. A short gasp leaves your lips as a hand wraps around your waste, pulling you back. “ You should know better than to allow your mind to wander here.” the voice of Omelumm invades your senses. Your body unstiffens when you realize who it is, a smile appearing on your lips.
“I need not worry here. I know that I have you to look after me.” You express, leaning back into his touch. Omelumm hums at the thought, looking over your shoulder to see what you’ve brought back. “How was your outing?”he asks. You shrug. “It was alright. I didn’t manage to gather much. I didn’t really feel like putting my life in danger today.” You respond. “I would rather you not put yourself in danger at all.”
“That’s a little difficult to do here.”
You turn around to face Omeluum, hands resting on his chest. He wraps his other arm around you, face tilted down to meet your gaze. “Besides, who would gather all of your research supplies if not me?” you ask in a teasing manner. He lets out a deep chuckle. “I suppose you’re right. I should trust you to protect yourself.”
“I don’t mind you protecting me a tiny bit.”
You turn your face to the side, pressing a soft kiss in the palms of one of his hands. His voice wavers as he says his next words. “Then I shall protect you. You may depend on me.”
You smile up at him. His eyes are soft as he looks down at you. You know you can depend on him, and he may depend on you as well. Together you are safe.
Yes, the deep dark is rather dangerous. The work is hard, and you often find yourself longing for sunlight. There’s not a doubt in your mind that you would stay here for a million years though. If being here means you get to stay by Omeluum’s side, then you’re perfectly content with all the downsides.
