Reapers 5

Sunlight pours across their entangled bodies, a sheet twisted around them, she stretches softly, rubbing her head in a loving motion on the side of his neck. “Hmmm???” His eyes flutter softly, and he slowly picks himself up off of her “Good morning love….” he smiles at her, the morning exhaustion making his words slightly slurred.
Tears come to the edges of her eyes, she smiles softly “Good morning… Did you sleep well…?”
He nods, a loving grin on his face. He wipes away her tears asking “Now why’re you crying my dear?”
“You… You called me love…” she smiles softly “We haven’t known each other very long… and you called me love…”
“After all that you expect me to call you anything different?” He smiles and strokes her cheek, kissing her softly “My sweet, sweet Anisa…”
Tears well up in her eyes again at the sound of her name “Shan… I’m so happy you feel that way…” she wraps her arms around his neck, touching her forehead to his shoulder, “I was scared that you’d regret what you said… what you did… But hearing you say that… Words can’t describe how I feel right now…”
“I’m glad… Now I can teach you all you need to know.” He smiles and winks at her.
“Know about what my darling??”
“The exams.” He smiles and kisses her.
She smiles in return “What exams dearest…?”
“The ones to be a Reaper, my thoughts are that if I can teach you about the reapers then that’ll make it easier for your father to create an alliance between us. And the fastest easiest way to do that is to have you join.” He smiles a big smile.
“You… You want me to be a Reaper..? Are you sure? I am after all a SkyKnight Vampyre… To be a Reaper SkyKnight Vampyre… that’s huge Shan… Is… is the Council okay with this…? With me…?”
“I asked my advisor if he thought it would be possible, and he thinks it would be the best way to bring peace with at least your father’s clan.”
Smiling softly she says “Alright…I’ll do my best to learn as fast as I can… But I was never a fast learner…”
“That’s alright, I’ll go as fast as you can learn it.” He winks.
She blushes softly “Thanks… When do we start?”
“Why not now?” He smiles and stretches, sitting up slowly.
“Right now? As in… this morning today now?”
‘Why not, all we’re going to do is element studies. And when there was a school we used to teach children old enough to walk these skills.”
“Wow… Element studies… Like the normal five, Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Spirit? Or any elements?”
“Any really, it depends on which one you’re compatible with, and we’ve a way to test that.”
Sitting up she says “Well why don’t we get started?”
“Now that’s the spirit.” He smiles at her and sets his right hand over his heart “This is the location of the soul, as such it is the seat of all Reaper powers, by putting your hand here and thinking about putting your soul in it you can pull out your element.” He does so, pulling out a crackling fire surrounded by lightening “See?”
Watching the fire on his hand she puts her own hand over her heart, concentrating she takes her hand away.
