Rewinding Time

A Journey Worth Fighting For

"Ravana!!! I needed those reports on my desk yesterday! What's the problem?!!!" My boss asked yelling; from his office.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. I made my way to his office with the documents in hand. Technically they are late but, working with idiots and being shouted at like one 24/7 puts you further and further into a not giving a fuck phase.

I entered his office with the lie quickly slipping off my tongue; "I'm sorry sir but you were just so busy yesterday. Therefore, I didn't feel the need to disturb you with any additional work."

Fun fact he wasn't busy at all. He was just harassing the new intern the higher ups hired a couple weeks ago. His lousy ass doesn't seem to understand that no means no. Of course, he was reported by the young intern repeatedly and she quit not too long after. What seems to be the nail in the coffin is that nothing was done by HR. Poor girl suffered and barely lasted five weeks.

Seeming to remember what he was actually doing yesterday, he began to stutter a reply. "W-well that d-doesn't concern your input of whether or not to disturb me. Your work needs to be on time."

"Of course sir. My work needs to be on time and you can stop harassing every new intern your disgusting ass come across." I walked over to his desk, slammed the documents on the table and bent down low enough so that we were eye to eye. "Only so much can happen at a time and God can only work so many miracles. Don't you agree?"

His face turn red with either anger or embarrassment but I continued "So which miracles you would think God would grant? Yours that allows you to stick your dick into anything that moves? Or mine that wants you dead?" The door to his office opened and I straightened up and head out. I guess we'll never know.

I made my way back to my cubby doing breathing exercises to release some form of tension this stupid job gives me. In for three out for two. I repeat this for a while before I started to type away on my computer again. It hasn't even been thirty minutes until the wall to my cubby is knocked on.

"Yo Vana baby, working hard or hardly working?" A grating voice asked behind me. Great another asshole that doesn't take no for an answer.

"What do you want Jackson? I'm busy." I replied still typing away, not bothering to turn around and give him some form of attention. Jackson holds a position on the board of higher ups and the head of HR. He's also buddies with my boss and is on a mission to get under my skirt. There was a time that maybe I would let him in my panties but after noticing that even though he's head of HR he doesn't handle any of the actual problems. He would let a full on orgy happen if it means that he's still being paid.

"Oh you've been busy alright. What's this I'm hearing about you wishing death to your boss?"

"Oh? Your little pet ran to his master quick didn't he? Well I said what I said. You gonna fire me?" I finish typing my work, pressed send to the higher ups and reluctantly started something else. It was either that or give this sleazeball an inch of my attention.

"No I'm not. Is that what this is about? You saying whatever you want regardless of consequences to get fired? Why don't you just turn in your resignation?"

"Because every time I turn it in a certain someone with a limp noodle for a dick denies my request. I'm sure you know him rather well." Of course he does, he's the one doing it.

Jackson simply laughed as he walked further into my cubby. "I just can't get enough of you Vana. You leaving fills my heart with sorrow."

"Save those bullshit lines for someone else. I don't want to go out with you and I'm not going to anytime soon." He roughly pulled my chair and spun me to face him.

"It's not like I'm giving you a choice Ravana. Dinner or you're fired. Simple."

I laughed and stood up forcing him to back. "Aren't you a dumb little idiot. That's a good reward you're giving me. I promise you I won't be showing up anywhere for you and I was trying to quit for some time now. Therefore, it's a win win for me." I grabbed my purse and began to leave with a final turn back to him I smiled and said,"Don't worry Jacky I won't put you down for a reference." I left him standing in the middle of my cubby with his fists balled and a vein pulsating from his forehead in anger.

I walked out of there and made my way home, if I could even call it that. It's a crappy apartment with crappy neighbors, in a crappy neighborhood, topped off with a crappy landlord. Everything is crappy. Period. More times that I can count my shoe got stuck in the old wooden staircase, unpredictable leaky roofs left everything wet and and cause a damp scent in the room. Oh, how could I possibly forget about the constant fighting and fucking my neighbors do on a daily basis every night at 4am.

Don't get me started on broken doorknobs and the pervert landlord who likes to grab a handful of my ass every time my back is turned. There's no place like home.

I stuck the key into the doorknob and prayed silently that the doorknob doesn't pull any shit. I entered to the musky damp smell of my living room. "I'm home!" I said in false cheerfulness. There's no one waiting for me here, no one's ever waiting for me. I took off my heels and walked down the short hallway into my room.

I stopped short when I realized the big ass hole in the wall. What the fuck? Not too long after discovering it, a man in a full suit of armor fell through the hole in a heap. A short scream came out of my mouth as this man weakly propped himself up against my bed.

"Uhhhhh what the fuck?"

The man looked over to me weakly as a pained groan was released. I slowly made my way over and saw the pool of crimson making it's way onto the floor. The man had tanned skin, curly hair, and wearing a full armor the color of violet. Blood was splattered over his face and his brows were knit together as his face was screwed in pain.

"P-please. Help me."

"I'm not a doctor let's get you to a hospital."

The man shook his head weakly and replied "In my bag there's healing pills. N-need the blue one. H-hurry." I looked around for what he was saying, there wasn't any bag or even a little satchel on him until I looked over by the hole in the wall.

It had a door like shape with black wisps occasionally moving around the edges. A violet string was hanging halfway out of the hole. I went to pick it up, as my hand connected with the string a wisp shout out and tangled itself around my wrist.

I just about pissed myself before I quickly pulled my hand away with the little bag. Inside was numerous pills of different colors and a golden broken locket showing a photo of a woman smiling softly. Wonder who that is.

He said the blue one so I sifted through until I found one. I turned towards the injured man and saw that he was pale in the face with his hand limp to his side. He's going to die.

I quickly stuffed the pill between his lips and tilt his head back so he'll swallow. As soon as he swallowed a light blue light emitted from his wound, formed a needle and thread, and quickly began to stitch up the wound.

When the needle and thread deemed its work done it disappeared into a blue dust and lightly fell onto the man. Just then he began coughing and moved to sit up.

"Oh. You're alive."

"You don't sound too thrilled." He replied as he got a control of his coughing.

"Yeah well, you wouldn't be too thrilled either if you came home to a stranger bleeding out in your apartment."

He simply stared at me with a pair of violet eyes. "Are you wearing contacts?"

"Am I what?"

"Um never mind."

He finally got up groaning as he stretched. He then slammed a hand into his chest and loudly began to speak. "I am Ta'oma of the Blackwell District. Firstborn son of Edward and Isabella Wells. I am the captain of the Imperial Guards in charge of the front lines and I-"

"Okay okay okay alright. I don't need your whole life story Tama." I interrupted covering my ears. The guy may be a sight for sore eyes but he's extremely loud. I don't need a noise complaint on my ass, who knows what that sketchy landlord would ask of me to turn a blind eye.

"Ta'oma." He corrected.

"Whatever."

His lips pinched together in anger as his eyes narrowed, looking down on me as if I'm chewed gum at the bottom of his shoe. I paid him no mind as I walked over to my crappy bed and sat down.

I looked him over a little more thoroughly. He really is a sight for sore eyes. Muscular figure, tall, stubble chin, and thick curly brown hair. Definitely my type.

"If you're done looking your fill I'll be taking my leave."

And he ruined it all by opening his mouth to speak.

"Leaving so soon after I saved your life?"

He scoffed. "You didn't do much of anything woman. The pill did."

"First, my name is Ravana not woman. Second, I helped plenty. If I didn't get the bag of pills from your little portal thingy you would be dead. Be grateful prick. Lastly, where did you even come from?"

He sighed "I already told you where I'm from wo- Ravana. The portal acted suspiciously to be frank. I was in the heat of battle and as you saw badly wounded. The answer to why I'm here I can not give you because I do not know."

"Battle? As in war?"

"Yes."

"So this isn't some sex trafficking method I should be worried about?"

"Um no?"

"You don't sound too sure."

"Because a woman is asking me questions I don't have answers too. Therefore, making me feel like an arse."

I stayed silent. Until finally I asked "Can I go with you?"

He reared back as if I slapped him and quickly began to refuse. "Absolutely not. I have enough of a burden looking after an army I don't need to be looking after you as well."

"Does that apply for the woman in the locket?"

His hand, absentmindedly went to the bag and squeezed. Gruffly, he answered "She's already dead so there's no need."

"Sorry for your loss." I replied automatically.

He simply said nothing and exit through the portal. Shadow-like hands and wisps tangled around him like a cloak, then in a blink of an eye he disappeared. Leaving behind the now drying pool of blood and a sword.

For a captain of a guard he's pretty forgetful isn't he.

The portal was still there occasionally releasing black wisps. I couldn't be bothered I went into my bathroom for a shower, hopefully it will be gone by the time I'm finished. I took a longer shower than normal secretly wishing that the portal is still there.

I exit the bathroom and nearly jumped for joy when I saw that the portal was still there. I changed into long pants a short sleeved shirt and tennis. I walked towards the portal and the wisps began to move more erratically as if urging me to step through.

What if I do go through then what? I mean my life is crappy as it is; is it so wrong to want to live with some excitement?

I got closer towards and looked down at myself to make sure I'm dressed properly. He did mention a war. I picked up his sword and before I could really decide whether I should walk through the portal a voice began to whisper.

"𝔽𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕠𝕨. ℚ𝕦𝕚𝕔𝕜𝕝𝕪 𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕕. 𝔽𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕠𝕨. 𝔽𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕠𝕨."

The voice grew insistent and I quickly stepped through without another thought. It grew cold somehow and all I could make out was the inky black darkness of the portal.

"ℚ𝕦𝕚𝕔𝕜𝕝𝕪."

The voice grew louder but kept it's sleepy tone until suddenly, it stopped. The voice stopped and I was now standing in a field with an awful odor plugging my nose. Immediately, I gagged. I looked behind me to see if the portal was still there. It wasn't, only the remains of a brutal bloody battle was there.

Bodies littered the floor as far as my eyes could see. Only one person was standing among the bloodshed a few yards away. By the color of his armor I had an idea of who it was.

"Tama?"

His head snapped over to my direction. Shock clearly shown along with frustration. He practically stomped his way to me, more than likely to ask how I'm even here.

"What are you doing here? You're not suppose to follow me!"

"Don't scold me as if I'm a child!"

"Clearly you are one if you feel the need to walk through every portal you've ever seen!"

"Of course I'm going to. Seeing as to how it's the first portal I've seen. Besides I wouldn't need to if you had closed it, you intolerant dumb ass; and you left your sword. Here." I roughly shoved it towards him even though the brick of a man can be moved by my strength.

With anger still on his features, he took his sword, sheath it and then roughly gripped my arms pulling me along.

"I'm taking you back to where you belong. It is not safe for you as a woman nor is it wise to just leave you. I will take you back myself. That is my new mission."

I dug my feet into the ground as I protested. "I don't need you to make it your life mission to take me back to a crappy life I don't want."

He didn't listen to my words. He would rather tug me along kicking and screaming. "What if I make you a bargain?" If there was anything I'm good at, it's fixing my words to make it sound like a deal with me is the right way to go.

"A what?" Good I have his attention.

"A bargain or deal. Make one with me."

"What kind of deal woman?"

"Ravana."

"Whatever." Smart ass

"You let me stay and I help you with this war. If you don't win, you're welcome to kill me or take me back home."

"All these options are in your favor. What are you willing to offer that will make me not ignore this sad excuse of a request?"

"Whatever you want. I can make it happen."

He laughed at me as if my offer wasn't even worth considering. "Who do you think you are? A Goddess? I have status and riches. You offer nothing of worth, woman."

He sneered the word with disdain that pissed me off to no end but I refused to give up. "You said that you were Captain of the Guard right? Is that the best you can do?"

The smile on his face slowly fell as realization seeped in. "The way you speak to make me think you have any real power. You aren't a general, my gods you aren't even a lieutenant."

I stepped closer to him and ran my hands along his shoulder up to his neck to pull him down to me. He was practically vibrating with anger through his armor and his face was turned in a deep scowl. "I can give you the power you want Ta'oma, the power you deserve. All you need to do is trust me." Our lips was an inch a part, his gaze flick down then back up to my eyes.

"I could even offer a body to keep you warm at night." He may be from a different world or time but all men think with their dick.

"You're willing to put your body on the line just to stay here? That's foolish."

"It may be but are you going to pass up such an offer. I'm pretty sure you're a virgin."

He rest his hands on my shoulders and shove me away. "It's none of your business." He stated as he turned away from me.

"Oh? Lady in the locket died before you two could tie the knot? What a shame." I slid my arm back to his shoulder as I walked in front of him. "I won't be dying anytime soon Ta'oma. My body is yours. Whenever. Wherever. However. All you need to do is bend me over and I'll wet and ready for you."

I stood on my tip toes to trail kisses along his jawline. I could see his shoulders visibly relax. I just need to wrap it up. "You know....we could even seal the deal right now."

His hands circle my waist as he held my gaze with hesitation. I took the last step for him as I pressed my lips to his. He released a groan as a hand on my waist held the back of my head.

His tongue brushed against my lips seeking entry. I opened my mouth as our tongues wrestled against each other. Ta'oma pulled himself away, his breathing ragged, as he looked around.

"H-here? Now?" He asked. I barely refrained from rolling my eyes.

"Correct."

"But won't someone see us?"

"Who? The dead bodies littering the ground? Let's not waste time looking for a house or anything. I want you to fuck me. Here. Now."

Tama released a whine low in his throat before crushing his lips back to mine. He squeezed everywhere he could get his hands on. My stomach, my thighs, everywhere. Just as his hands trailed to my pants to pull them down a piercing shrill sounded through the air.

Immediately Mr.Knight dropped to the ground shielding me with his body.

"Bollocks. I knew it was dangerous here. We need to go. Now."

"I can't go anywhere with you on top of me, jackass."

He got up, tugging me along. He picked me up bridal style and took off in a full sprint. "I will carry you. We must find safety."

Just as I was about to ask what's making him so scared another eardrum piercing scream ripped through the air. I looked up to see a figure that can only be described as a dragon flying through the air. It swooped down lower giving me a perfect view of razor sharp teeth, leathery wings, with purple and indigo scales, topped of with a spiked tail.

Well shit. It's kind of beautiful. In it's own menacing way.

"Does that thing breathe fire?!!"

"Yes and I would rather not be burnt to a crisp. Therefore, shut it woman!!"

Rude prick.

The dragon soared lower to the ground. With its mouth open ready to bite off anything. His gaze connected with mine as he got closer to my leg. His hot breathe seared my skin through the fabric. At the last second his jaws clamped shut. Narrowly missing my leg, he did however ripped my pants leg before Tama dodge into a cave.

He unceremoniously dropped me onto the ground and drew his sword. "Oww you fucking ass. You could at least be gentle. Some of us don't have a full suit of armor!!"

"You quiet down woman. If that thing catches our scent we'll be its dinner."

"It literally saw us run in here. We're its dinner regardless."

"Must protect."

What was that?

"Did you hear that?"

"You mean that thing outside screaming the most bloodiest of murders? Yes I heard it."

"No something else. A voice. There was a voice. You didn't hear it?"

"Have you gone mad?"

"Protect. Must protect kits."

I walked towards the mouth of the cave as the voice got louder.

"Protect."

It's the dragon.

"Woman! Ravana! Get back here."

I walked past him and exit the cave. The dragon caught sight of me and slammed into the ground, towering over me.

The force of the drop nearly knocked me over as dirt and trees went flying. His head lowered to my level, his pupil fixed on me and he released a growl as he got closer.

"Must protect."

"Is that why you're roaring so loudly? You have kids?"

"Protect kits."

"Okay but I don't want to hurt your kids or you. Okay? We just want safe passage?"

"Kits won't be harmed?"

"No harm. You have my word."

He hesitantly walked towards me and nudged his head against my stomach. Then walked a full circle around me before nudging me with more enthusiasm.

Like a giant sized cat.

Slowly, I moved my hand to his head. He met me halfway shoving his body against mine nearly shoving me over. "Oof. You aren't exactly small. You may just kill me." He paid me no mind as he rolled over and show his belly.

Dragon whisperer. Added to my list of skills. Nice.

I dropped to my knees as scratched at his stomach. His scales were smooth and nearly hot to the touch but are quickly becoming my new favorite thing.

"Since we're besties now, how 'bout a name?"

Name?

"Yup. What about Syrax?"

Strong. Like that.

"Syrax it is. Can I hitch a ride now?"

I shall allow you to ride on my back. However, that murderer in that cave shall not.

I just about forgot about Tama. "That's okay you can carry him in your claws."

I went back into the cave to get Tama to find him with his back against the cave wall and a white knuckle grip around his sword.

"Aren't you a little bit of a coward?"

"I am many things woman; but a coward isn't one of them."

"You sure? Because if I recall correctly I just faced a dragon by myself. No knight in shining armor around for miles."

His eyes turned dark purple in rage. "That thing has been snarling and growling for the past half of the hour. If I hadn't heard your voice I would've assumed you dead."

I didn't hold the eye roll then. "Aren't knights suppose to be brave? This might be the reason you haven't exceeded the rank of captain."

"Being brave and foolish are two completely different things. As you've clearly demonstrated, you're a foolish, foolish woman."

"Hate to break this to you but foolish would be leaving your sword in a different dimension and leaving said door to dimension open. Things that you so clearly demonstrated." His fists balled in anger my comments. "Besides, this foolish woman got us a ride. I will not be walking for gods know how long in this heat."

"I will not tolerate such disrespect and if you think I'm going any where with you, think again. I'm leaving. Without you." He shoved pass me to either intimidate me or just to hurriedly leave my presence.

"I'm not stopping you of course I'm too weak to but, that dragon out there is gonna torch you the minute you step out of here." He abruptly came to a stop. "Your friend isn't too fond of you. Sounds like you killed a few of his friends."

"What do you want from me so that I could leave here alive?" His head was turned away from me as he gritted out the question.

"Aw is looking at me causing you pain?" He reluctantly turned to look at me again. "You know what I want Ta'oma. Stop acting like you don't know."

He sheathed his sword and crowded me against the wall. His lips slammed down onto mine in anger as he bit and suck at my lips until my mouth open for his tongue to explore my mouth. His hands dropped down to my thighs. He pulled them around his waist and pressed us more against the wall grounding his bulge into my center.

"What are you doing to me? At times I want to throttle you, other times I want to rip away your coverings and fuck you until I have no energy left in me." He trailed his lips along my neck and roughly bit down. I hiss in pain and moaned when he began to lick and soothe the spot.

"What sorcery have you placed on me witch?"

I couldn't hold back the laugh that escaped me. "You went from calling me woman to witch? Why not just use my actual name?" I wrapped my legs together around him and met his grinding with some of my own. "I see the way your eyes flick to my lips every time I say your name correctly. You look like you want to reward me with a kiss. You totally should kiss me every time I say your name correctly. Ta'oma~."

He groaned as he kissed me again and bucked his hips to meet mine. "I want answers Ravana. What have you done to me?"

"I didn't do anything. You're just experiencing lust. Not any sorcery as you've been so hung up on."

"That's a lie. I don't succumb myself to such filth."

He abruptly stated as he dropped me yet again and took a few steps back.

"It's basic human emotions. Emotions that you need to learn about if you want to rise to power. Besides, what's so wrong with a little lust from time to time? There's nothing wrong with wanting to strip me of my clothes. Perfectly natural if you want to thrust your dick in me until you pass out. Bending me over and over again until you release your seed deep in my pussy."

I walked over to him and place my hand on his chest. His armor began to piss me off. I wanted to touch his actual body not some scrap of metal heated by the sun. I trailed my hands to his groin and squeezed a little.

"Stop it." His hand closed over my wrist to stop any movement, but it couldn't stop my squeezing. I rhythmically squeezed him until he was bucking into my hand and his hand began to loosely drop away.

"No. You know what I want Ta'oma. I want to stay here and explore. I can't do that if I'm by myself and have a dead body on my hands because you're so damn stubborn."

"Alright, fine I won't take you back."

"I need absolute loyalty from you. Or else no deal." I fully released my hand from his dick and took two steps back. Ta'oma immediately walked towards me to finish what I started. When he realized what he was doing he stopped.

"I will pledge my loyalty to you as long as I could really have your body whenever I want." He practically gritted out.

"I don't go back on my word. I meant what I said Ta'oma. Wherever. Whenever. However. Those were my words."

"Good." His eyes began to glow blue as a gust of wind began to pick up and circle us. " I Ta'oma vow my sworn loyalty to Ravana for as long as I live. Nor will I allow any harm towards her. I complete this oath as I now stand by her side for life."

The wind picked up some more before it disperse around the cave. A mark was then branded on Tama where his neck and shoulder meets. It looked painful but he didn't seem to be in pain.

Not long after the cave was quiet again. Ta'oma began to strip his armor and made his way towards me.

"I'm guessing your taking your part of the bargain."

"Yes."

"For someone who was so against the thought you sure are eager." I laughed as I turned around and pulled down my pants and stepped out of them. I wasn't a virgin and thank God for that because judging by the way he's looking at me, gives me a feeling that he's gonna fuck me like he hates me.

I braced my hands against the wall and stuck my ass towards him. "Whenever you're ready Ta'oma."

"Do you ever shut your mouth?" He waited for no response as he roughly shoved his dick inside of me and set a punishing rhythm.

Oh fuck.

His dick hit my g-spot head on. One of his hands on my waist trailed lower between my legs to my clit flicking it roughly. Not long after I was hurtling towards the edge of an orgasm. My moans bounced of the walls in the cave and still his rhythm didn't stop or slow.

He kept that up until I was nearing my second orgasm but he suddenly pulled out and spun me around. He hiked my legs up and over his shoulder, pushed his dick back in and continued the fast paced rhythm.

"A-are you tryna prove a point or s-something?" I gasped out.

"You're so insufferable. Just be quiet." He ground out as he watch his dick slid in and out of me wetly.

"It's kind of hard to do that when you're basically r-rearranging my guts. Fuck!"

He laughed lightly at me before bringing a hand towards my clit and began rubbing again. Once. Twice. Three times and I began cumming again. The orgasm was so strong that my toes curled and ears began ringing. Not too long after Tama found his release inside me.

For a while our ragged breathing filled the cave.

"So that's what I will need to do for some peace and quiet?" Tama spoke as he gently pulled out of me.

"And you ruined the absolute bliss I was having by opening your mouth."

He tossed my pants and underwear towards me and laughed as he tugged on his armor. I got up and got dressed and walked out the cave. Syrax who was curled up under the trees came bounding towards me.

"You smell."

"Rude dragon. You don't tell a lady she smells." I reply laughing.

Syrax gazed flicked over to the knight who made his way out the cave and growled. "It's okay. Remember? You're carrying him in your claws."

He seemed to calm down a little with that and lowered himself so that I can swing my leg over him.

"Believe me you giant lizard, I'm not thrilled either." Tama said as his gaze flicked between me and the dragon.

"His name is Syrax. Now stop being a prick. We've got places to be."

Syrax began to beat his wings against his back as he took off the ground. He grabbed Ta'oma and took off into the sky.

Honestly, I know this is a bit cliche but if you told me I would be riding a dragon, I would've laughed in your face. In the distance I can hear Tama release a few curses but I couldn't care less. My face split into the widest grin I had in a long time. My hair whipped around in the wind as Syrax gained speed.

Syrax began to do turns and tricks in the air. Blowing fire rings and flying through them.

I haven't felt this alive in long time and I would give anything to keep feeling like this.
