The Journey

"I am so glad you came Niru," Freya said as she plopped down on a couch in one of the oldest libraries in Dauntless Proper "I need to talk to you so badly."

"What's got you all stressed out Freya?" He asked, sitting in a chair across from her.

"Eric." She stated simply.

"What the fuck did that arrogant shit do?" Niru replied, trying to remain calm but failing spectacularly.

"Calm down, he has been the perfect gentlemen in THAT department, even though I had hoped several times he wouldn't have been." She replied

Niru laughed and relaxed. "So what's the issue? Tell me your woes Princess."

Freya launched into everything, from the travels across the open lands to his offer. All about his confusing actions, her feelings for him, the fact that she was now terrified to see him and where they would go from here.

"So basically, you want to jump his bones but are too scared to take what is so clearly yours," Niru stated bluntly.

"Ugh! I mean, I guess."

"You're going to accept his offer are you not?"

"Of course Niru, I belong to him...I love him. I know it. I've never been so sure of anything."

"So.....what are you waiting for then? Tell your parents of your decision and then go release your wild side on him. Poor fool won't know what's hit him if I'm right, and I'm rarely wrong."

"I just....what if.....I never...."

"Ah, so this is a virgin's fear then, huh?" He asked and Freya nodded. "Ok, first let me start by saying that Eric is by no means a virgin, he will guide you. He loves you, otherwise, he wouldn't have offered for you. So no matter what you do he will love it. Second, you know the moves, the mechanics of sex. I know what they teach you at the monastery when it comes to this topic little lady, so don't act like you don't know what to do. Just because you've never tried it out on a guy doesn't mean you don't know what to do. Use what you know and be free with it. There is nothing to fear here. Be brave."

"Ok, I can do that I think. I mean, I am Dauntless after all and if there is one thing that we are a natural at, besides killing, it's fucking right?"

"Hahaha! Too right you are Freya. However, before you go ride Eric into oblivion I suggest you go speak with your parents."

"You're right. I'll go tell them right now. Thank you Niru. You're always guiding me down the right path." She said as she stood and gave him a hug.

"Of course I am, it's what I do. Now I'm going down to the Pit for the after party. It's been a long time since I've had some sexy Dauntless tail." He laughed.

"Of course" she replied, rolling her eyes, and they went their separate ways.

"So Eric is going to be your King?" Malic asked Freya. He and his wife had just changed out of their formal clothing and were sitting next to the fire in their private rooms when Freya came barging in the room telling them of her choice. Malic had a feeling that she was in love with Eric and Eric with her, but didn't want to say anything. Clearly, neither of them had realized until quite recently that the other felt the same.

"Yes Father," Freya said confidently

"And do you love him little one, I didn't really expect you to choose a mate so quickly. Goodness, I figured that we would have to drag you down the aisle, to be honest." Tahtia asked her daughter.

"Yes Mother, I do." She replied with a dreamy smile lit up her face.

"Mmm hmm, and you two haven't..." her mother trailed off.

"No Mother, not yet, but soon hopefully," Freya said with no reservation, sex was nothing to be ashamed of in Dauntless.

"Well, I approve. I had hoped that you would pick someone like Eric to be the King of Dauntless. He's a perfect choice." Her Father said.

"He is a fine example of Dauntless little one, and you already love him. What joy! I approve as well." said her Mother.

"Thank you, mom, dad. I think I should go tell him now." Freya laughed.

"You mean to tell me that you just left him hanging? I bet that was a blow to his ego." Her father chuckled. "Please, tell me you plan on dragging this out a bit. Eric could stand to be knocked down a couple of pegs." He laughed.

"Now Dad....ok, I'll do my best to rile him up a bit first," Freya said and trotted out of their room.
