His only light Druig

"May the gods herby bond you in matrimony. Congratulations" music and bells rang as the guy spoke in Sanskrit.

We all watched as they kiss. For that past few years I refrained from feeling others and focused on my telepathic powers. We caught deviants and I was growing in strength and power. Druig and I have gotten closer as our teasing continued. Causal tripping, food stealing and locking in bathrooms happens.

"Beautiful beautiful Cora what brings you out here alone?" I heard druig walk up behind me. I continue looking at the stars as the celebration continues.  I look down the porch we both stand on and see sprite showing another story with her powers.

"Hello druig. Isn't it beautiful?" I ask. I turn to see druig looking at me.

"Very." He said not breaking eye contact. I turn back at the people and smile.

"You know protecting these humans for hundreds of years it never gets old. What's your favorite part of all of this?" I ask and he turned to look at the village.

"The peace." He said and I smiled. Druig has a heart. I like that.

"Me too." He smiled once again pulling two pears out of his robe. I took one and we started eating together.

You know for someone so different from me, I like having him around. I like feeling his presence as he stands near me and I like feeling him when he touches me. Even if it's by accident I like it. I like it when he looks at me and has to look down. I like it when he makes sure I eat. I like it when he protects me even though I'm undoubtedly am more powerful than him... yeah I am. But it's just something about him. Him.

"Let's go down I want to dance." I smiled and grabbed his hand. Leading him down the stairs and into the party. I let go of his hand but he held on. I looked up at him and he was watching the crowd. I tightened my grip back up and smiled. I pulled him to everyone once else and we let go so I can hug everyone as usual.

"Hi Gil! How are you!" I hug Gil and he hugs me back so tightly. I lost my breath and we let go.

"I'm great Cora!" He said and I go to hug Thena.

"Hey Thena! How's the party so far!" I ask and hug her. She looks at druig then me. I see he's still waiting for me. She throws a sly smile to me

"Good." She said. Simple and sweet.

"Hey phastos, glad you finally came down!" I give him a big hug and he hugged back. After we let go he spoke.

"It's pretty fun. I like it. If only I could go up just for a bit to work on the steam engine I want to give them in a few hundred years but someone said I can't." Phastos looked at Ajak next which I gave her a hug.

"Hi Cora. Druig may I have a word with you?" Ajaks let's go and I walk over to the food area where sprite was.

"Hey sprite pass me a piece of bread please!" She tosses me a small one which I finish in two bites. This young guy comes up to me and asks to dance.

"Will you come dance with me?" He smiled and I thought it was so adorable. I nodded my head and he pulled me to the music and we both started laughing and dancing.

After the song nearly ended I saw druig as the guy spun me around. His talk with Ajak must have been upsetting because he looked mad.

"Mind if I have this dance." I said and his eyes glowed gold not allowing the young boy to speak. The young boy left and druigs eyes caught mine.

"Hey you can't just control whoever you want whenever you want." I said but he grabbed my waist and my hand and started dancing to the music.

I rolled my eyes and placed both hands on his shoulders pulling us closer.
