Chapter 6

Being a humanoid had it's advantages, Estrella was healed from her injuries days after the event.  Her emotional scars ran much deeper though. Estrella was no longer able to sleep out in her hut alone, her mother had taken to sleeping with her.  The nightmares prevented her from ever getting a full nights sleep.

Fire was another hurdle she had to overcome, every part of their life dealt with fire, from the candles that lit their homes at night, to the flames that warmed them and cooked their food.  Being afraid of fire wasn't really an option, but Estrella was terrified of it.  Oseron did his best to help his daughter overcome her fears, looking at her each day and watching her, he knew she would never be the light hearted sprite of the past, they had stole that from her.

The wedding had been postponed by almost a year to give Estrella time to recover from her ordeal.  The men had searched in the year for the ZeeGogs, but had not succeeded in finding them.  Finally the day had arrived, Estrella had kept busy all morning fixing food for the feast that would follow the wedding, trying to settle the wedding jitters that fluttered in her stomach.

As she stood there under the arch with Traezek she wondered how she had become this girl, a year ago she felt so young and full of life and believed they lived in an eden.  Now she knew the boogeymen were real and they were still out there waiting and whispering to her. She cleared her mind and focused on her groom, happy that he was to be the one to take her to the marriage bed that night.

Her family and friends had all gathered to watch, it was a wedding in the grandest of Fae styles, not ones to ever skimp on a chance for a celebration of love and beauty, the wedding had been planned since the day she was born, trees were transplanted, flowers sown, all to be ready for her big day.

After the ceremony the cake was cut and the feasting began, her mother had outdone her self with the confectionery delight, layers upon layers of sweet strawberry cake, filled with a rich cream frosting.  Everyone exclaimed over not just the cake but the entire event.  It was decided, when it came to weddings no one outdid the Fae.

Estrella mingled with the guest a bit longer, but finally sought retreat back in their home, there her brother and his new wife joined her and her new husband.  Daray was expecting and Estrella gazed at her growing belly with a tinge of envy.  She couldn't wait to have children of her own, she had been taking herbs for the last month, a mixture her mother had made up that was suppose to increase her fertility and give her children easier.  She just hoped they worked.

Finally the time had come for them to leave to their new home, everyone came out to wish them the best, and the jokes began about the wedding night. Estrella tried to hid her nervous fear, smiling as she hugged her parents goodbye.  They were only moving across the path, but right then it seemed like a million miles from the safety of her parents home.

The home was breath taking.  Her Helran had outdone himself in preparing their new dwelling, he had thought of every convenience she thought.  She stood in the bedroom, waiting for him to join her, wondering what the night held for her.

Trae walked in and pulled her into his arms, he could feel her trembling just a bit.  "It's alright, I won't hurt you if I can help it my little Shelan." He gently kissed her, and began helping her out of her gown.  His hands sliding down with the gown as it hit the floor.

He lifted her up into his arms and softly laid her across the bed, kissing her as he lay down beside her.  His hands caressing her arms, and brushing across her nipples. His fingers trailed down, brushing over her navel, and slipping into her soft folds.

 He slowly rubbed until he felt her body begin matching his hands in rhythm, then as the moisture engulfed his fingers he slid them inside of her.  She gasped as did he, he had never imagined a female could be that tiny.  He kept them there, using his thumb on her sensitive flesh, while his finger worked inside her, until he felt safe to slip another one in.

He watched the heat rise up from her chest, spreading across her cheeks, felt her quivering around his fingers, he had managed to work three inside her now, and he hoped it was enough to not cause her too much discomfort when he entered her.  As her body arched up off the bed he watched the way her lips parted in ecstasy  and felt her body clutching his hand inside of it, she continued to arch as he rubbed with his thumb, slowly working himself between her legs.

He knew she was close to climaxing again, without missing a beat, he brought his manhood to her tiny opening , as he began to push inside she cried out, and stopped moving for a moment.  "Relax, my love, don't tense now, please don't tense now, I don't want to cause you more pain." As he spoke he began rubbing her sensitive flesh again until he felt her quivering beneath him, as she arched into him, he pushed into her.

"So tiny, I never thought Moldar would make something so small for someone such as myself!"  He finished and collapsed next to her, pulling her in his arms.

It hurt, it hurt more then she would let him see, she decided.  He had tried to make it easy, but in the end there was blood and pain.  Still she wanted more, she wondered if it was normal, to want something even when it had hurt you.  The pleasure he gave her dulled the throbbing that was now between her legs, suddenly she smiled at the thought, "That throbbing means I'm married in the eyes of Moldar now, I am truly his Shelan in every way."  She fell asleep in his arms with the happy thought dancing around in her heart.
