Drake Has A Surprise

by The Crimson Hero! Morrigan Maygal

Humming happily because she could not remember any words for Garlmas song, did not really celebrate up in Kur. Morrigan stretched yet another canvas on the wooden frames that Anaxa had made for her, "Hmm hm hm mmmhmm golden beard....something..something..hmmmmmmm." Dipping her brush in the very dark green color she mixed, placing the finishing touches on the epic scene of a high elf standing on the prow of her poisonous vessel. Orri smiled brightly thinking about Zephyria's face as she presented the painting to her, stroking the canvas and glancing at her sketchbook. The design she spend nearly weeks on for her love staring back at her, a beautiful pendant with a moving picture of her blowing him a kiss. She giggled to herself hoping her Drake would love her gift, and flushed with the possibility of his romantic response. The martial artist stirred and squealed in her seat at the thought, the holiday distracting her from the encounter with a certain king. She filled her time with painting gifts for everyone as she fidgeted waiting for Hephane to finish Drake's gift, spending her nights doing everything not to burst out and tell him everything about his gift. Her mom, Ereskagal, was terrible with waiting to give gifts and Orri gained her habit. She had the wrapped canvases and Drake's gift never more than a hundred feet away so that she could grab them in an instant. Drake was a perfect distraction for her habit, keeping her focused on training and affection.
 
Finally the morning of Garlmas, Orri got to shower those she had come to love and care for with gifts, especially the man she had come to adore. With a grin so bright Lumina might pay attention she handed a beautiful metal heart shaped box to Drake, He opened it to see a moving drawing of Morrigan blowing a kiss to him. She smiled and waited for his reaction, and to her bliss he grabbed her waist dipped her dramatically and kissed her sweetly. As she swooned and lost herself in bliss, he whispered, "I have a surprise for you later." Orri beamed with excitement and was not wholeheartedly distracted.
 
Standing in the hall of the tower the Hive listens to Marie and she seems to be saying something important. Morrigan keep glancing at the door back to the world because she still have a surprise from Drake to look forward to. She then hears the world fight and pays more attention, "Fighting myself, oh my gosh that sounds so fun!" Missing the point for now Orri delights in the future surprise AND a fun sounding fight. This is the best Garlmas EVER!
