Saving your life.

Selas' kiss is long and deep, and you soon feel the haze lift from your mind. Your heart and hips begin to slow and you can feel something, from the tips of your toes to the very core of your being, being pulled up to your mouth. Out of the corner of your eye, you see Selas motioning with her hand, a large shiny metal chest, about the size of a refrigerator, with a clear spout comes crawling up from the floor.

When Selas pulls away, her mouth is sealed shut. You try to speak, but she puts a finger to your lips. She turns towards the chest and blows into the spout. You see a tiny but incredibly bright pink light, no larger than a dust particle, flow inside, before it descends back down, shaking violently. Selas suddenly presses herself to you and shields you both with her wings, when a powerful, bassy thud reverberates through your home. "What was that?" you gasp, drained, exhausted and barely able to keep your eyes open.

"That, was my mother's, the Lady Arilena of Lusandar's, influence," she smiles warmly, before sighing again. "You have no idea how lucky you were that I froze you before she showed up. If I didn't do that, you'd have fucked your whole neighborhood to death before your heart would literally explode in your chest." Selas snaps her fingers and you collapse into her arms, your muscles burning with fatigue. Just staying awake is taking everything you've got. As your vision starts to fade, a terrifying realization comes upon you. All you did, was look at her.

Scooping you up, Selas carries you back to your room and sets you down gently into your bed. She lays down next to you and tenderly caresses your head, like a mother would her child, before her wings and tail envelope the pair of you, keeping you both safe in a makeshift cocoon.
