Unexpected Kiss

The ficlet

It was very dark in the Citadel, save for that sliver of light that was emerging from Mozenrath’s room. Dondi, a bit restless, wandered from the spare room and noticed it. She quietly crept up to the door and peered in. The young man was sitting on the floor, reading a scroll. He wore a long dark blue tunic in lieu of his regular attire, though the gauntlet was still on his right hand as always. Dondi wondered if his hand ever got too sweaty. She also noticed that he didn’t wear his turban and his curly black hair was very fly-away and messy, even though he had made it obvious that he was very vain about his looks.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Mozenrath asked suddenly. Dondi’s eyes widened as the sorcerer gestured her to come. She pushed the door ajar further and walked very cautiously into the room. He had also made it obvious that her teacher was dangerous. Some days ago, he charmed her into a trap that took her away from Eden and used her as an offering for this creature in exchange for the return of his gauntlet and just this afternoon he had nearly drowned Sadira in a sand pit during a wizard’s duel. Down in her gut, Dondi did not want to know his punishments for wandering out of bed in the middle of the night. She sat down in front of him, legs crossed.

“What are you doing out of bed?” Mozenrath asked.

“I couldn’t sleep,” Dondi replied quickly.

“No doubt thinking about your genie and the witch,” the sorcerer said, abrasively. “You’ll get to see them. I’m [i]bound[/i] to give you back to her every other day.” He exhaled sharply. “I don’t see why I just can’t have you and your geni-ugh, [i]Eden[/i].”

“Sadira’s curse,” Dondi pointed out.

“Yes,” Mozenrath frowned as he muttered under his breath, “her curse. Stupid witch.”

“Well, I like her,” Dondi said, “and Eden likes her too.”

“Oh, yes,” Mozenrath thought bitterly, rolling his eyes, “she likes everyone except for the big bad wizard.”

“Yes and that makes her an expert at magic,” he said aloud, very curtly. He then leaned towards Dondi, causing her to fall over. “Well, Little Miss Sunshine, remember that you’re in my camp now and I run things [i]very[/i] differently here. Comprendé?”

“Uh, yes?”

Mozenrath then stretched his arm and pointed to the door. Understanding his intention, Dondi got up and walked quickly to the door. Watching her disappear out the door, the sorcerer sighed heavy and returned his attention to the scroll. Suddenly, he heard the sound of feet quickly walking back. At the corner of his eye, he spotted Dondi as she leaned forward and planted a small kiss on his cheek.

“Night,” she said and quickly left the room. The young man had a very stunned look on his face as if he had seen a ghost.[/quote]
