The Choice is His

The light was so bright Nuada could barely open his eyes. Last thing he remembered was watching his sister fall and collapsing to his knees. He lay sat up realising that he was now sitting on a dock, at the end of the dock he could see his father standing on a ship helping Nuala board. Nuada tried to stand and run to his sister but as soon as he stood he felt arms holding him back. He angrily turned to see who it was, it seemed to be a being made of light itself, he couldn't look at it directly. It spoke in a gentle singsong voice, "you cannot join them yet, you have unfinished business here" Nuada turned in time to see the ship pull away from the dock, he could see his father put a comforting arm around Nuala, "no, please don't leave me too" Nuada collapsed on the dock weeping openly, "I can't go on alone any more, no please let me go with my family" he begged. The being moved around in front of Nuada and raised his chin, "you made a promise, now you can decide if you keep that promise or you stay on this dock for eternity?" Nuada looked confused, his face flickered more emotion in a moment than he had felt in several hundred years. "If you choose to make her whole again it will not be easy, she will not recognise you but if you look carefully you will see her". Nuada continued to shake his head in confusion till the words finally sunk in deep into his soul, he began to shake, "you mean Sera, I can save Sera?" he barely dared breath the words aloud. The light being nodded almost imperceptibly, it could see the conflict in Nuada's expression he still had so much hate to let go of but his sister had given him a gift that he didn't understand yet. She had given her bodies life but she had also given him a piece of her light and taken some of his darkness with her. He was feeling for the first time what it was really like to be able to feel love and hate, fear and courage, so many emotions that he had been spared by being part of a twin rather than a whole being.
Nuada nodded gratefully, "yes, please take me to her...” The light being smiled, "it won't be quite that easy". Nuada felt as if his entire body was suddenly on fire as the world spun, he cried out as he felt himself land on something hard. He rolled over and realised he was laying in a field of grass, he felt suddenly exhausted and allowed himself to lay back down and sleep. He woke hours later wondering why his back was aching, he rolled over onto his back and suddenly sat up with a shock. His back stung all over, he looked down at his arms wondering if he was delusional. His arms looked brown and underneath red? He grabbed a chunk of hair and studied it, it was long but black. Looking down at his naked body he realised, he was human? He let out a string of Elven curses as he studied his new frail frame, already his unmarred skin had been burnt by sun and he could feel hunger burning in his stomach. Nuada realised the irony of the situation, he was now a human trying to save a half Elf who had only known him as an Elf. 'Not easy', Nuada shook his head, near impossible but that had never stopped him before so it would not stop him now. Nuada stood and moved towards where he hoped there may be human settlement; this would be an interesting trial trying to appear to be one of them so he could find Sera. He silently began chanting a mantra ' must not kill all humans, must not kill all humans' as he stumbled across the field and under the cover of trees.
________________________________________
Years passed as Nuada continued his search, he quickly realised that the skills he had as an Elven Prince did not translate well to being human. He did however find that he was still considered attractive as a human and that seemed to at least get him bed and board in the beginning. In fact he had to leave Ireland for fear that the husbands of the women taking him in would come after him. Human morality was a little confusing but while he searched he also researched the ways of humans. Eventually he was introduced to a young man who turned out to be a link that proved successful. Nuada now called himself Danual Silver and upon meeting the young Brad he soon learnt that Brad worked on movies, more specifically he worked on stunt co-ordination and fight training. Brad had recently had a knee reconstruction which was hampering his current project so when he met Danual and saw how he moved he asked if he had any fight experience. Nuada played down how much his experience but he was willing to have a go, he knew he needed to start making money to travel in order to continue his search and flying around in tin boxes cost money he didn't have. Brad brought him to the set for training and very quickly knew that this Danual was even better than himself. Brad came up with a proposition, he was thinking of retiring because of the knee and wanting to start a family so he offered Danual his job and contacts for a small agent’s fee. Nuada thought this perfect, he could travel as part of the job and earn money virtually beating up humans without actually hurting them and all the while Brad would organise things like contracts and treatise. This suited Nuada fine as he felt this may be the best way to move around without having people constantly asking him questions. Within a couple of years Danual became 'the man' to have on set for any fight sequence and he became almost a celebrity to the celebrities. Nuada continued his search for Sera everywhere he went; he thought maybe she would be in Hollywood simply because she was so beautiful but very quickly he saw that attractiveness was often by surgery rather than lifestyle in tinsel town.
Another movie set, another fight to co-ordinate. This time he was working with a stunt team that was new to him, the actress in the movie had never done an action film before so her stunt double had been brought in from a local martial arts school. For the first time he would be doing the fight scene for the actor as he had an uncanny bodily resemblance to the actor playing the part. Nuada didn't mind, if he had to hear how precious the man's face was one more time he suspected his vow of non violence on humans would be broken. As he stepped onto the set he noticed the attention he was getting from male and female alike. He silently wondered if they could see his real face if they would react in the same way. He showed his id and was taken on a short tour of the set by the assistant director. The poor boy didn't know where to look and almost ran the golf cart into someone when Nuada playfully winked at him. Nuada couldn't help but play with the minds of humans; they seemed so insecure in their own skin that most were very easily manipulated into bed. This made Nuada feel a little less lonely in his search when he woke up in someone's arms. Danual's reputation professionally and personally preceded him so the door into the rehearsal space was already blocked by a throng of onlookers by the time they had finished the tour.
The assistant pushed his way inside as Nuada simply stepped off the cart and with intention said, "Excuse me, I need to get inside." The throng almost fell over themselves to get out of his way as he sauntered through the door, as soon as he was through he grabbed the a.d. "this is a closed set, I hope you have made provision for that?" The a.d. nodded, feeling as if Danual's green eyes were burrowing through his head. "Yes sir that will be the last time something like that happens." He hurried away wondering how in the hell he was ever going to be a director when the stunt team leader scared the bejeesus out of him. Nuada stood tall and finally saw someone he recognised, he walked towards Dave one of the stunt crew he had met several movies ago. Dave usually looked after wirework for fight scenes to make them look more fantastic, Nuada didn't really see the need but it seemed to be the 'in thing' and also meant he was very high in demand and therefore well payed at the moment. Dave shook his hand and led him over to one side of the huge warehouse, "how's in hanging? long time no see" Nuada often didn't let his mind do a literal translation of the things Dave said but they just didn't visualise well but he seemed to be a fair and honest guy, he even reminded him a little of a certain one handed friend he had lost long ago. Dave sat Nuada down and gave a brief description of the team they would be working with, not much more than Nuada had already learnt reading profiles but some things weren't in the profiles. For example Dave had found out that the 'chick from kungfu school' had a bit of a mystery past. She had been in a massive car accident ten years before and had lost her memory. An out of court settlement had given her some huge amount of money because since that time she had been trying to find a living relative but no luck so far. Dave shushed Danual in a very conspiratorially manner as a small girl approached them, "Hey Dan, this is Sarah..." he whispered "kungfu chick".
Sarah smiled a wry smile as she shook Nuada's hand, "yes and I'm also known as that goth chick or the little angry one". She poked her tongue out at Dave as she said the last one, then turned back to Nuada, "so do you prefer to be called Dan, Boss, Sir or hey you?" Nuada was a little taken aback by her directness but he soon smiled and the smile turned into a chuckle, "if your good you can call be Dan, if your bad then you get to call me sir". Sarah smiled back, "hmm tough choice, I'll let you choose later." She gave him a quick once over before she nodded her farewell and headed towards the practice mats looking intent. Dave smiled after she had left and nudged Nuada's arm, "she likes you, and she damn near tore my head off first time she caught me looking at her". Nuada turned to his friend with an eyebrow raised, Dave blushed slightly, "how's I supposed to know she was gettin changed, she almost took my head off with her damn practice staff before I hightailed outta there". It was Nuada's turn to elbow Dave as he watched Sarah come back out from behind a door; she was now wearing black baggy pants and a black crop top that left nothing to the imagination. The odd thing offsetting it was her black hair was now up in pigtails high on the back of her head and he could see flashes of bright colours within the hair as she moved.
Nuada moved closer to the mats leaving Dave to his own devises, he sat down watching as Sarah did extensive stretching. She seemed in her own world carefully stretching every part of her body, Nuada couldn't help himself thinking 'flexible too, hmm'. As she warmed up he also noticed something else, as her skin warmed he saw she was covered with dozens of intricate scars all over her arms, back and chest. He was so intent looking at them that he barely noticed Sarah stop and look at him, she tilted her head to the side and realised where he was looking, "the scars are from a car accident ten years ago, three cars mushed into ball and only one person got out, me." Nuada went to say, "Sorry..." but Sarah interrupted, "its ok, I lived, the guy responsible died in the crash." Sarah walked up and squatted in front of Nuada, "so you going to watch or teach?" Nuada sat a little straighter and nodded, "watch, for now I need to know what you can do?"
Sarah stood again and grabbed a practice staff, she said just loud enough for him to hear "a man who likes to watch eh?" She expected a blush but all she received was a semi stern look. Sarah sighed and began her favourite moves, she swivelled and poked the staff very close to where Nuada sat. At one point the end of her staff touched Nuada's hair but he didn't flinch in fact he stayed perfectly still except for his eyes calmly following her movements. He thought to himself 'she is better than I have seen in an age, potentially as good as an elf'. He let her work through her moves noting weak points and assessing where he would need to slow her down so she appeared to be a novice, the character she would be standing in for was simply not as good as she. Sarah finished up and stood leaning on her staff in front of Nuada, "Dan it is" he said simply. She smiled in a gratified way, "so when do I see how good you really are?" Nuada stood and walked over to the practice staves taking his shirt off in the process, "now if you’re ready?" Sarah's smile became a huge grin, "Oh I'm ready." He grabbed a staff and swivelled around to meet her, she made herself ready. They paced around the edge of the mats facing off, each swivelling their staff through the air while keeping eye contact with the other. Sarah made the first move as she moved in to strike him mid body; he easily deflected the blow and countered. They fought for some time, ducking and weaving neither of them willing to give ground. Eventually Nuada heard Dave clearing his throat loudly and he looked around realising that everyone on the set was watching intently. Sarah also noticed Dan look away from her and realised everyone was watching them, she blushed deeply. She heard Dan chuckle softly as he stood drinking the attention and watching as the watchers one by one realised they were being watched and looked away.
Sarah grabbed towels for them both and continued to watch Dan as he towelled himself off then put his shirt back on. She towelled dry and stood waiting for him to say something. Nuada turned and saw her standing there, "that's enough for today, I'll take the weekend to work up some ideas, and Monday we will start full training for the shoot". Sarah smiled, "so we have the next three days off, perfect" she moved closer, "if you have no plans for tonight I know a club that I think you would enjoy?" Nuada nodded so Sarah grabbed a piece of paper and pen from a nearby crew member and wrote down an address, handing it to Nuada she said, "opens at ten wear black, if you have any trouble getting in just tell the guy on the door that you with the blade sisters." Nuada was curious to know what that meant but Sarah had already moved away as soon as she saw Dave coming towards Dan. Dave grinned "way to make an impression dude, c'mon I'll show you round the rest of the set and you can make all the ladies drool everywhere else." Dave led Nuada around the set but Nuada's thoughts were already wondering what the night would bring him.
That night Nuada arrived at the address and walked up to the door, he opened it and stepped into a fairly plush lobby. A large man stood in front of another door at the end of a short hall, Nuada felt himself being inspected as he walked toward the man. The man simply smiled and nodded as he opened the door for Nuada to step through. The first thing that hit him was a wave of sound as the door opened then his eyes took a moment to adjust to the gloom inside. The interior of the club was all decorated in plush colours, deep reds and purples. He started scanning the people and spotted Sarah, she was dressed in.... well not very much; she seemed to be wearing a fishnet body stocking with tiny shorts and a tiny lace up top. The laces seemed to be the same blues and purples as the streaks through her hair. She was with another woman; the new woman was dressed in a school girl’s outfit that looked several sizes too small showing off very ample cleavage and pale skin almost Elf like. She was strikingly attractive with long white hair tied up in high ponytails, the only thing that looked a little out of place was that she wore elbow length red gloves the same colour as her tartan skirt but somehow different from the look of the rest of her outfit. The other woman spotted Nuada first and pointed him out to Sarah; Sarah in turn smiled and nodded motioning for him to join them near the bar. Nuada had barely reached where they were standing when the song changed to a slow sultry beat, both women smiled and grabbed one of his hands each to steer him to the dance floor.
Without words they began to dance around him pressing body parts against him in turn. Nuada lost track of which body part belonged to which woman and simply enjoyed the sensation of female pressing against him and sliding around him. He moved rhythmically with them as the song changed again, this time a slightly faster song with a deep bass, as one both women spooned him Sarah behind and the 'new' woman in front. Nuada felt his body respond to the feel of warm flesh pressed against his silk shirt, small female hands caressed him back and chest and he worked hard to control his breathing as the hands on front moved down over his waist and round to his thighs. Through hooded eyes he could see the other men and some women look on in jealousy, although he could see some dismissal as if some patrons had seen this before and didn't approve. He allowed his hands to stay at his sides till the women took a hand each and pressed it against thighs bare or fish netted. Nuada lost track of how many songs played as he continued to dance with one or both of the women, they took turns grabbing drinks of water from the bar and didn't offer anything stronger. Nuada was glad that they seemed happy to stay sober as this meant he got to see the person without chemicals. Eventually they motioned towards the back of the club; Nuada nodded and followed their lead.
Sarah walked first towards a booth at the far end of the club the entrance to which was partially covered by a curtain, with a stern look the current occupants scurried out and back to the bar. Nuada sat where Sarah directed and turned to her friend, "this is Emmy, M this is Dan..." Emmy smiled a vaguely predatory smile as she sat down very close to Nuada. Nuada smiled in his own knowing way back at her and she chuckled softly, "Oh Sarah you were right, he is exactly what we have been looking for." As Sarah sat on the other side of Nuada she said softly into his ear "right now you need to decide if you’re in or out, if you’re in then no strings and you obey us without question, if you’re out then you go to the bar and no more is said?" Nuada thought for a moment and decided that whatever these women had in mind he could easily take care of him; he said "I'm in." Both women leaned forward and looked at each other and smiled. Sarah stood and moved to in front of Nuada closing the curtain so they could no longer see the rest of the club. She stood a few paces away from him and said "stay perfectly still." Nuada did as requested and he felt more than saw Emmy move around in front of him as his eyes stayed locked with Sarah's.
Emmy kneeled down in front of Nuada and slid her gloved hands up his calves, over his knees and up his thighs. She gently pushed his legs apart with her elbows as she started undoing his belt and jeans. Emmy deftly manoeuvred his clothing down so his penis now lay bare; with one swift movement she tilted his penis up and took him inside her mouth. He instantly became hard as rock as she took all of him into her throat to the point he could feel her cat like tongue against his testes. A small groan escaped him before he saw Sarah gently shake her head and press her fingers to her mouth in a 'shush' gesture. Emmy began moving up and down stimulating him with her tongue, only using her mouth as her hands gently held his hips. Very soon he felt himself getting close to release and he couldn't help but bite his lip. He saw Sarah tap Emmy and she said softly, "He's almost there." Emmy in turn stopped and crawled up onto the leather seat next to him on all fours. Sarah moved to him and growled into his ear, "Now take her hard and fast and don't stop till I say". Nuada obeyed standing and grabbing Emmy's hips and entering her from behind. He thrust into her quickly and deeply feeling himself sitting on the edge of climax. She in turn pushed back into him so he thrust deeper till he felt he would move right through her. Emmy began to quiver as her climax took her and she collapsed onto her elbows, Nuada continued thrusting into her feeling as if he would soon be pushing her across the seat. He saw her hands clench the leather in front of her and she pushed back onto him as a greater climax shook her entire frame and he felt her whole body clench and release around him. Sarah was again in his ear, "now you can let go" Nuada waited for Emmy's body to collapse and then turned to Sarah, "not yet".
Nuada pulled out of Emmy and gently leant her on to the seat, he turned to Sarah and with a rush of movement he pinned her against the far wall with her arms above her head. She let out a low moan as he pressed against her and he gently shook his head as he whispered "shhh". With one hand he continued to pin her wrists above her head, with the other he undid the lacing on her shorts and slid them down. As he suspected the body stocking was crotchless which suited his purposes, his hand sliding down between then into the cleft between her legs. He felt soft skin already wet as his fingers pressed onto her clitterous experimenting with different movements to get a reaction. From her breathing she liked circles so his thumb circled as his other fingers delved inside her. Very slowly he felt her breathing gain momentum and her body began rocking against his hand, he moved his head around in front so he could look into her eyes. She looked almost blissful and anxious at the same time. He decided not to make her wait too long, he slid his hand up and round so that he was cupping her buttock then as he lifted her off the ground he moved his penis to her entrance. Sarah lifted her legs and wrapped them around his hips as he pushed deep inside her aiming to push into the wall behind her. She arched her back willing him to push deeper, he got the hint and continued to thrust into her slowly but firmly. Sarah in the ecstasy of feeling the rough cold stone behind her and the man of liquid stone thrusting into her. He slowly brought her to climax over and over enjoying the feeling of her wrapped around him, on the third time he finally let himself release which by this time was a little painful with the explosion of built up seed.
As his brain started to re enter reality he realised that he still had Sarah pinned to the wall and now Emmy was holding onto both of them from behind, her silk gloves gently moving up and down his thighs and over Sarah's legs. He carefully let go of Sarah's wrists and helped her unwrap herself from him as he lowered her back to the ground, Emmy helped Sarah pull her shorts back on and lace them up as Nuada re dressed himself. All three collapsed back onto the seat, Nuada first with both women draping themselves onto or over him. Emmy curled up against his lap was the first to speak," so now what?" Sarah looked at Nuada, “the woman asked a question?" Nuada sat back and asked, "What usually happens at this point?" Sarah giggled softly, "at this point Emmy and me usually head back to my place to sleep as we wave bye to the guy at the bar". Nuada thought for a moment then it hit him, "not many men were able to surrender to you?" Sarah shook her head, "you are the first". Nuada was quietly pleased that he had been the first for such a privilege and he didn't really want it to end here, "may I suggest that the both of you come back to my apartment for the night?" Sarah leaned down to Emmy and they had a quiet discussion in his lap. Nuada couldn't help but be turned on again by the site of both women leaning over him in such a way. He saw nods from both then they both stood and took one of his hands each, they swished the curtain aside and strolled leisurely towards the front door. The bouncer was still standing at attention and nodded farewell to all three as they left, Nuada thought he saw just a hint of jealousy in the man’s eyes and thought to himself it was well justified.
