The Ruler Of Gilead 55 Dreaming Of The Past: First Kiss

...Rubbing her storage ring while contemplating Hittan's actions, Valencia's feelings towards him deepen even further. She started to long for the memories of her former life. But she also wanted to know why the General of the East never mentioned any personal or private relations.h.i.+p with Gilead?

As the last of the dishes were displayed on the table. The girls were pleasantly surprised to see the variety of foods. .h.i.ttan was able to make. Stewed marble star beef with fried sand crabs and fried flying sunfish. Even a fish soup made with sand crabs and flying sunfish. Hittan had ample amount of starch rations in his storage ring so he had decided to cook rice and use bread as a side dish for the soup. The aroma was delectable and it was not until Hittan spoke that Valencia awoke from her thoughts.

"Okay, please enjoy."

Hittan watched as the girls tentatively approached the food and started to try a little of everything. No one said a word at first, they simply looked at him with surprise on their faces. Then they looked at each other and in a rare moment of synchronicity, they looked at him.

"You'll be the cook!"

Their eyes held no room for argument! Hittan could only offer a smile in reply and duck his head.

'Being the family chef isn't so bad, it at least guarantees me more of these moments.' Engrossed in the thought of being their chef he seemed pleased with the idea these family moments.

"Haha!" As the girls laughed they also continued to enjoy their husband's well-cooked meal.

…

"Okay girls, you all can head up to your rooms and start your training again."

"What do you mean? If you cook we can at least clean the table and dishes. Go and relax a little we'll handle this."

"... alright, I'll be in the garden for a bit."

As. .h.i.ttan found a quiet place, he began reviewing the elements he had yet to fully master.

'Thanks to my former life I was able to fully comprehend the light elements. However, I still have a way to go with Earth, Wind and Lightning Storm. But the biggest issue will be the Dark element.

It sounds good in theory to change my primary light sources and have them overlap to produce black energy. But I don't even know how to start. I should leave that for last and focus on Wind, Earth and Lightning Storm for now.'

Hittan had decided to start with the Earth element having achieved more than 50% mastery. Time had slipped by and he had fallen into a deep meditation. Being in such a safe and relaxing environment he allowed himself to neglect his surroundings. So when Valencia approached he had not been aware.

Standing before Hittan she bit her bottom lip, unable to hold onto any idea of patience. The girls had long since finished the task in the kitchen. All seemed to have the same idea as. .h.i.ttan, which was to meditate on their own element. So each girl had gone up to their own room to begin their training.

Only one had failed to enter a serene state and sat on pins and needles waiting for Hittan.

"Hitt, Hittan, are you free?"

"Yes, I am. I'm here for anything you need."

"Do you think we can… You know, look back at our past lives now?"

"Yes, but before that…" taking his time to stand. "... I've never knowingly looked back with someone before. We may end up in an awkward situation, so I hope you won't regret wanting to know. Also, keep in mind that looking back is the same as reliving these memories. You will feel everything. Everything from that time and you run the risk of changing your current personality in this life.

... After knowing that, do you still want to know? Do you really want to go back in time?"

"... I can't say I'm not concerned about what we'll find. But I know that… I want to be like them. Madly in love with you."

"And right now you're?"

"... Longing to love you."

"Okay, let's go to your room. If you're fine with that?"

Nodding her head with a slight blush they headed back to the house.

…

The door closed behind Hittan as he followed Valencia into her room. Extending his arm, Hittan reached for Valencia's right hand pulling her to a stop.

"Kaija has said that you were the first to sacrifice for me. So I've been a little reluctant to see that moment."

"..."

"I don't want to see something that would upset you."

"If I made a sacrifice for you, then I'm sure that this life is the Karma of that sacrifice."

"I can't lose you now, no matter what."

"Why? Why can't you lose me?"

"... Long before this current life. Before I knew I was Gilead when all I had was myself to depend on, or so I thought. I always had you, my protector in the darkest moments. The armour you gave me, the only treasure I kept in all my reincarnations, can be seen as my dearest family."

"..."

"I can't tell you how many times you've s.h.i.+elded me from the worst, hugged me when I was lonely, in glory and defeat you've been supporting me. Propping me up when all I wanted to do was fall. Your love has always been with me and I have loved you all this time. So, if we look back at a past life and the old me disappoints you, please let me use this life to make it up to you."

Teary-eyed she slowly made her way into his arms and gently kissed his bitten lower lip. As his frustrations slowly slid away he released his clenched lip and returned her kiss.

"Hehe, you've taken my first kiss today. Since my actions weren't affected by the amour's pull towards you."

"Val…"

"Is that a pet name for me?"

"Mhmm, do you like it?"

"I do."

"Val."

"Yes… hehe"

"I've only kissed you."

"..."

"Come let's have a seat in the sitting area and I'll explain how the moon bracelets work."

…

"So we must be sleeping and let our consciousness connect in the dream world?"

"Yeah, that's been how it's worked in the past."

"So do we go on the bed?"

"Not if you don't want to. Plus I can always rest on the couch and you stay in your room?"

Thinking about how Hittan was a.s.saulted by the others in the last Low Sun, a sense of possessiveness came over her! Refusing to share him today she had to be bold and claim him for herself today!

"Come... rest with me and be my personal protector, as I am for you."

"Yes, Lord wife Val."

"Stop teasing... and just follow me."

Hearing the hesitation in her voice he kept his mouth shut and followed her to the bed while being led by the hand.
