You're sure to get burned ." I knew his words were meant to be threatening but I took it as a challenge . I turned around and ran my fingers through his smooth hair, I pulled him down to my eye level, our faces too close I could feel his breath and his intense gaze on my lips. "You can't get burned if you hold the power of an entire ocean."

*18+ only. Contains mature content ''I was just wondering what the midsummer celebration is that everyone is talking about?'' I answer. Roan looks at me and says, ''Ow yeah. Every year we celebrate midsummer the lightest day of the year. We have a ceremony where we bless the crops with magic.'' I go sit on his desk and reply, ''Sounds fun, what happens at the ceremony?'' Roan gets a bit red when he answers, ''Well it's a fact that with sex a lot of magic comes free. Traditional the King opens the feast by having sex with a virgin by choice in front of everyone. Afterward, everyone will look for a partner and also have sex. '' ''So who are you gonna have sex with this year then?''I ask.

That's maybe not what you want for your first time.'' The thought of that does not make me very happy indeed so I answer, ''No I don't think I can do that after the attack from those dark humans it would remind me too much.'' My heart drops a bit when I ask, ''So you are gonna have sex with someone else in front of me?'' He takes my hand and says softly, ''I don't want to but the ceremony has to be opened it's tradition. I am sorry Noelle.'' I pull my hand back and grunt, ''I don't know or I want to be there then.'' I feel tears coming up so I walk out of the door. Roan calls my name but I don't wait for him to come after me. ***** Noelle lives a boring life at the orphanage but everything changes when she becomes 18 and get's selected to be sacrificed to the King of the Sea.
