[Thread] Gods Help the Queen
Characters: OU!Leonidas Agion, AU!Ahiru, AU!Fakir
Where: Yil-Deka
When: Night
Summary: Leonidas has gone into hiding. To him, it is to protect his wife, who has just arrived in Econtra. In reality, however, it is something else entirely that controls his actions.
Warnings: Possible violence and angst.

She was asleep, her body raising slowly, up and down underneath the many blankets. She had been cold, and had requested the sheets lest she catch cold; Leonidas was only too happy to oblige. After all, this was his wife, his queen, and he had lived as much for her as he did for Sparta.

Of course, she couldn't be that cold after what they just did. Though Gorgo usually enjoyed the nude rutting they engaged in, Leonidas decided to be careful and simply keep it to holding her, as Gorgo had just arrived and seemed somewhat exhausted. Indeed, she seemed wary of the compound in general, and so the Spartan king had taken her advice and brought her to the most desolate room in the compound, in one of the empty unused buildings. Here they could be without interruption.

For you. Leonidas lifted a hand and caressed the woman's cheek. Fate took me a way once. I shall not let them take you away again.

He'd made his mind up on that. Gorgo was strong and smart, yes, but there were creatures that inhabited Econtra that were inherently wicked and unashamedly cruel to their victims. He did not want anything to happen to her or himself; that his wife was not cuffed made the danger seem all the more impending, and the distant sound of the dor to Yil building opening brought the king to his feet, his hand immediately on the hilt of his sword.
