Annel smiled shyly at the compliment and rocked back and forth on her heels, a childish habit she had yet to shed at twenty years. “Really? Well…thank you, dear. I can make you something more to eat if you like. And, um…” She said as she knelt down and reached into a small basket on the bottom shelf ...

With a lengthy sigh, Annel slid down the wall and sat with her eyes glued to Syrinia. She watched the Amazon’s forehead crease with confusion as she continued to stare into the pantry. Syrinia’s eyes narrowed in puzzlement as she stared at the assortment of jars, bottles, and the accumulation of ...

There was little Annel could do to mask the admiration in her eyes as she gazed up at Syrinia to answer her question, her voice quavering as she spoke, “I have a…a little of everything, dear. If you should find something you fancy eating let me know. Have whatever you like.” And with that she bowed ...

“You won’t be able to sneak around this house, Syrinia dear. Your feet are far too large and the floor is far too creaky.” Annel said with a playful smile as she glanced over her shoulder at the Amazon, who shot a glare that would surely kill her if she didn’t find the look so charming. Annel smiled ...

Why was she so eager to leave? Annel wondered to herself as she searched the well guarded eyes of the Amazon. She wanted desperately for Syrinia to stay, for she was certain to die if she left so soon. She needed care, which Annel was more than happy to provide, but pure acts of kindness where ...

“Syrinia, dear…wait.” Annel slid off the bed and started towards her, keeping in mind to move slowly and not with her usual elven swiftness. “You are welcome in my home; we pose no threat to you...’we’ being my grandmother and I. No other elves have any knowledge of your being here. And besides that ...

As she rolled onto her stomach again, Annel had now completely and inadvertently exposed her bosoms to Syrinia. Syrinia’s comment went over her head and she sat there for a moment trying ardently to digest its meaning as she was unaccustomed to sarcastic remarks. She knitted her brows together and ...

Annel’s silly grin faded into a slight smile of amusement as she rolled onto her back and watched Syrinia. She fixed her eyes firmly on her, studying her. Despite the falter in her gait, Annel admired the way she pulled her shoulders back when she stood and how she held her head in such a proud ...

“Oh, yes! You’re at my home, in my room, in my bed.” Annel announced, perhaps a bit too loudly. She leaned over and propped herself up on her elbows, a silly and very child-like grin was plastered on her face as she met the scrutinizing and slightly paranoid gaze of the Amazon. The two simply stared ...

A blinding light pierced Annel’s retinas as soon as she cracked open an eyelid. Had it been any other day she would have enjoyed the bright morning sunshine…but not today, not after the night she had…

Annel groaned and slowly dragged herself into a sitting position. She sat there for a moment with ...

“How could…one woman…weigh as much…as three? By the Gods!” Sweat was beading on Annel’s brow and the muscles of her arms and shoulders felt as if they would rip in two, but her determination to save the life of this beautiful creature lit a fire like nothing else she had ever experienced to burn ...

Annel’s straining arms ached from the weight she was bearing, but she cared not. All she could hear were the pain-filled whimpers of her human, each step causing the cries to rise on octave. The cries drove Annel on, pushing her to move, to quicken her steps. The slight change in pace was just ...

A small smile tugged at the corners of Annel’s mouth. Such proper diction …she thought to herself as she stared down at the creature, running her thumb along the roughly calloused fingers of the Amazon’s hand. Annel’s hand was lost beneath the human’s rough palm. In all her years she had never seen ...

The elf would be of no assistance to Annel. She watched him back away into the dark abyss of forestry, all the while she could feel her stomach sinking to her feet. She shook her head forlornly and wiped a stray tear from her cheek as she gazed down at her human, who was now writhing in pain. She ...

“Wha…wha...wha...what? N-n-no!” Annel stammered with confusion. She reached a slender hand towards the elder in dismay as he turned to leave. “I wasn’t trying to deceive you, dear; I am in need of help, desperately in fact…” Annel said as she carefully lowered her human’s head to the forest floor ...
