Ahh! I'm so glad you liked my ideas for HBE Illuga!MC as 'Tholindis' reincarnation, Quiet! ❤️ for you and I'm willing to add on to that! But I'm more interested in Rerir's point of view now.
I feel like when Illuga!MC says Rerir's name during that encounter from the Wild Hunt, he is in shock. How? How did this Lightkeeper know his name?
He doesn't kill her but instead watches her after that encounter. He sees nervous tics and some habits that belonged to only one person he knew, and that was Tholindis.
Could it be her? Was she alive? Reincarnated in the body of a (beautifully) fragile Lightkeeper of Nod Krai? It would explain how she knew his name. It makes Rerir giddy. His beloved is alive again!
But then he watches how people interact with her, and he's suddenly angry. He watches how her "father" dismisses her concerns when she shares them, how everyone volleys mocking words at her, calling her a curse. It's enough to make him seethe.
If Tholindis had told him about such concerns, then he wouldn't have rested until he hunted the person down and made them bled—but that is besides the current point. Currently, what he does know is that his beloved should not be with other people.
It should be just him... The only person who would care for her and love her...
Rerir waits until the dead of night one evening before he goes to Illuga!MC's place. There's no one patrolling close to her home. Another sign that his beloved is not meant for this place. He unlatches the window easily and lets it swing open, slipping in.
His Tholindis... His Illuga!MC is resting peacefully in her bed. He goes over, admiring her features that are soft with sleep. How perfect his beloved is...
Rerir feels a violent pulse beneath his skin, the urge to suffuse the place in his Abyssal energy, to take his beloved right here and now. He would spread her legs, take her right there on her bed... And he quickly settles that energy.
Not yet... He can't do that yet. Although he'd love nothing more than to stake his claim now, there are better places to do so. So, he gathers the sleeping woman in his arms and slips back out the window, carrying her away from Piramida.
He goes until he is settled far away from civilization in Piramida, far away from that lighthouse. He looks back at his beloved, seeing her curl up. He immediately goes and surrounds her small body with his larger form, warming her body.
Maybe it's because of the changes that his beloved stirs, turning her head sleepily until her eyes meet his. Then she's very much so awake. He feels her try to scramble away, but his hand clamps down on her hip.
He watches her eyes widen as she looks at him. At his Abyss tainted form. He watches her lips move.
Rerir feels a fondness as his darling blushes at the pet name. She is so cute. So precious. He wants to keep her by his side forever and never let her leave. His beloved Illuga!MC, his beloved Tholindis, looks at him warily now.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Rerir tilts his head. Is it not obvious? Then he internally scolds himself. Of course it wouldn't be. His poor darling has spent most of her second life believing herself a curse, hated by everyone. No matter. He'll simply love her so much she'll never leave.
"I brought you here because I want you. My Tholindis... My Illuga!MC..."
He hears the hitching of her breath. He wants to consume every noise and drag it into his lungs. He moves them, putting Illuga!MC on her back. One of his large hands grips her thigh while the other slips beneath her sleep shirt to caress her flat belly. It won't be flat for long though. He has plans for his beloved.
Rerir sees Illuga!MC blush as she feels his hand placement. His urges come back much stronger now. And now that they're alone... He can act on them.
"I wonder... If two "curses" come together, can they make a blessing? Do you want to find out, beloved?"
Rerir is sure to press down on her stomach as he says this, making eye contact with Illuga!MC. He watches her blush even more before she shyly nods. It makes his heart beat with joy.
So, he wastes no time in slipping her clothes off, tossing the articles of clothing aside. He even takes off what he can before he eclipses her small body, looming over her and holding her in place.
He sees her look down and squeak. His larger body must have caught her attention. He can't help but chuckle as he pulls her against it, making her gasp.
"Do you feel it, my darling? All of my feelings for you? I am going every inch inside of your body..."
Rerir pulls her further under him, putting her under his shadow.
"... and you are going to love it."
(I may make the spicy part later when I have time. For now, enjoy unhinged Rerir.)
My friend, I am VERY much enjoying unhinged Rerir. Oh my goodness, he is FERAL. 😳
"One of his large hands grips her thigh while the other slips beneath her sleep shirt to caress her flat belly. It won't be flat for long though. He has plans for his beloved." And this part made ME feel feral, holy shit-
Also, what's this? You might make a spicy part later? Don't tease me, please! I need the smut! 👀
And if you do the smut I do hope there's a small part where unhinged Rerir kisses Fem Illuga!MC neck scar. That scar needs to be kissed and nibbled.
