Private with Sombra Arcana

[Sombra Arcana]

Vaas smiled at the feeling of Miki's hand rubbing his. He decided to continue with the series of sculptured that he had been carving based on the beautiful woman. Now, he would be working on making her in a seating position while she read. She was beautiful. She was radiating so much bliss and calmness that Vaas could almost feel jealous. He switched his times between carving and eating the cooked meat from the can. He offered another one to Miki in order for her to have energy for tomorrow

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

I closed the book and sat it aside to take the can of meat. I ate at it slowly grimacing at the taste, but I knew it would have to work. I noticed that Vaas had seemed to have finished the previous sculpture and start on a new one. "You never showed me the finished product of the other one," I told him picking up another piece of meat and chewing it slowly as I awaited his response.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

Oh right. I said as I searched for something inside my bag. I looked in my belongings as deep as I could and brought out a sculpture. It depicted Miki on a sexy pose. She was wearing her Fire Nation clothing and was obviously giving commands to someone which probably was a phantom soldier. I smiled at her and placed it in front of her. It is for you. I am making more. I am trying to capture your natural beauty for eternity

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

I took the tiny sculpture amazed at how amazing the craftsmanship was. I ran my finger softly over the intricate details and felt a small twinge at wanting to be back in my old clothes. I blushed deeply at his compliment and gave him a tight hug. "Thank you Vaas. I really like it," I said after pulling away and sitting the little sculpture next to my bag. "I wish I could give you something," she said.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

Your company is all that I need. I said as I grabbed her hand into mine and squeezed it tight. I smiled at her and pushed my body closer to her before continuing the sculpting. You see... I was a soldier once and fought the wars of the nations. I retired and decided to live as a potato farmer. In times of havoc and insanity, carving wood was my only escape. I am glad that someone else likes my art.

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder. "Wait you were a soldier? I should have known. Your stature basically screams it," I said a little surprised by the information. "You retired huh? Do you enjoy being a potato farmer?" I asked curiously watching as the shavings fell to the ground in front of us.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

I did enjoy being a potato farmer. It was nice and quiet down there. I stopped doing what I was doing to look at Miki and smile at her. I did command the eigth regiment of earth nation soldiers and fought the all out war. I saw things I didn't want to see again and was injured several times. Those are the scars I got in my back and arms. I just wanted to run away from it all. I sighed for a bit

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

I felt my eyes tear up and I pulled away from him wrapping my arms around my knees. "Being with me you may end up back in that fire...I-I don't want that to happen..." I said feeling bad. I knew with my position in the military in the Fire Nation that I could possibly put Vaas in some bad situations. I knew I would be more than likely fight in a war eventually even if I hadn't yet and that could mean I see things.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

I was prepared for that the moment I decided to be with you. I can defend myself on my own, but I also want to watch your back. I said with a smile on my face as I squeezed her hand and brought her close to a big and tender hug. Miki, I want you to know that if anything happens, I am taking your side. Because you are my love.

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

I let myself stay wrapped in his embrace and rubbed the tears that tried to slip away. "Ever since I started this journey with you I have been more susceptible to crying. I don't know why I've suddenly become so soft. I think you're having negative effects on me," I said with a little laugh at the end. I rested my head against his chest and entwined our fingers.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

(I am going on vacation for a week or so. I'll try to answer when possible)


I don't think it is a negative side on you. Being soft isn't a weakness nor a negative effect. I believe I am bringing the best of you out and helping you accepting yourself and growing on your own. I caressed her skin and played with her hair, while keeping my fingers entwined with hers. I just believe it was a part of you that you hid away deep within.

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

(Okay have fun!)


I kissed him on the cheek like I had earlier that day and pulled out of his grasp. "Goodnight Vaas," I said even though I wasn't that tired. I laid on my sleeping bag and looked at wall of the cave. I can't go soft I'll have troops to train when we go home. I didn't know how to feel anymore so I just closed my eyes in a feeble attempt to make myself fall asleep.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

I tried to get myself to sleep, but I was quite restless on the fact that Miki was nervous. I grabbed her from behind and hold her tight. I silently hummed a lullaby to help her sleep, while keeping her in a warm embrace. I just wanted her to be feeling safe and sound and with all the love she could get. I know it could be hard, but I could become a general or a commander for her when things get to normal.

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

I pushed myself farther into his embrace and let out soft sigh. His humming lulled me to sleep faster than I had expected. My dreams were disturbed by fires and the screams of people around me. I noticed one in particular to be Vaas's. Frantically I tried to get to him, but the flames were roaring ever higher obscuring my passage. I searched for the cause of the fire only to see sparks flickering from my own hands. I woke up with a jolt sweating and breathing heavily.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

I keep hugging Miki until she realizes she was just dreaming. Are you ok? Was is that bad of a dream? Are you mentally and emotionally fine? I worried about her as I had never did for anyone. It was already dawn and the voyage must continue to the nearest port, but we couldn't go on if she wasn't stable. I dragged out my canteen and gave her some water to drink until she was aware that nothing had happened at all.

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

I whipped around to face Vaas and sighed with relief seeing him alive. I refused the water and tried to insist that I was fine. "I'm okay. Let's just get a move on," I said pulling out of his grasp quickly and grabbing my stuff. I exited the cave and relished the fresh air on my face. It's just a dream for now...but it could very easily become reality.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

Okay. I said a bit weirded out by the outcome of the situation. I shrugged and grabbed our stuff quickly before catching up to Miki. I am sorry Miki, did I made you angry or something? Is it because you want to take a shower and we're nowhere near of water. I said oblivious to what was probably going down her mind.

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

"What? No of course not! You didn't anger me in any way, it's fine, I'm fine," I reasoned though I didn't look at him. After adjusting my clothes and bag I glanced around the landscape and realized I had no idea what direction we should go. Trying to push the dream as far away in my mind as possible I spoke, "Lead the way." I attempted a smile to get him to not worry.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

I walked over to Miki and sighed. Then I took a deep breath of air and looked around. I smashed the ground as hard as I could and small crevices began to appear in all directions. As I began to look at the formation that had been done, a small circle with an arrow appeared from the underground. It was a measure I had taken before going to sleep to know the direction to where the port was located.

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

I was quite impressed with Vaas's earth bending. I looked at the arrow and began to walk in the direction in which it pointed. I didn't say anything for I felt Vaas was aggravated with me for not telling him the truth, and I was pretty sure that he knew it wasn't the truth. I'm not a very good liar...I stood tall even though I felt like I should hunker down and hide.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

I knew she was hiding something from me, but I kept myself quite. I walked beside her and reached my hand to hold hers. If there was something she was hiding, then it must be important and she will tell me when the time comes. I just started humming the lullaby I sang to Miki the night before. Say, Miki, is there anything you like? Like food or a drink you like?

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

I smiled relieved to feel his hand interlace with my own. I squeezed it gently. "Um, I don't know. I like almost anything that has cheese in it," I said giving an embarrassed laugh. "I'm a pretty big fan of tea as well," I said remembering all the times I'd brewed tea in for myself and very occasionally one of the other soldiers. I swung our hands a bit and looked around the landscape. I wonder how many places we will have to go before reaching the Wind Shrine.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

Mmm. That is quite interesting to know. I am a big fan of cheese myself. It's even better when tasted together with some wine or ham. I looked at the landscape as we walked and couldn't help but smile as our trip was going smoothly and peacefully after all those incidents. As for tea... what is your favorite brew? I rather like green tea best, but what's your poison?

 

[Infinite Eclipse]

"Black Tea tends to be my go to tea. It's usually stronger than other teas," I informed him smiling. "I do enjoy a nice pomegranate tea as well. Trying different teas is a secret pleasure of mine," I admitted looking into the distance. "Maybe I can test some of the teas here in the Earth Nation along our journey." I imagined myself sipping tea with Vaas in different small shops throughout the nations.

 

[Sombra Arcana]

Oh! I do fancy that! I would love to go into a rampage of tea savoring and tasting. I said with a warm smile. Here we got some of the best fruit teas in the whole continent. My personal favorite is the black peach tea. I said smiling. I started to imagine going throughout all the shops in the port, since there will be most of the imported and exported tea. It was an advantage. Maybe we could stay there for a couple of days and enjoy
