The Happy Couple (Tag: Alidia and Rahim) rated M

Emma had actually fell asleep from crying. Then she started to get vision nightmares about her beloved getting caught. "No...please don't take him...it's me you want..." she began to see flames and smoke. "Dani...we were friends...why...no please..." she hated this. She saw her uncle's death. She cried. 

"Emma, dear. Wake up. We found someone who can help us." Nahusha called to her, gently shaking her in an attempt to bring her around.

Emma's eyes snapped opened. "I think I had a dream vision..." she embraced her beloved "I love you so much...I just wish there was a way...wait a second..." she quickly skimmed the books and found it. "The spell to make me like you...I'll give anything to make you happy..." she hovered the cauldron. She began chanting from the book. A white smoke surrounded her. And she fainted in the smoke and transformed into a blue/green peacock. She woke up unaware. "Did it work my dear..." 

Meanwhile the guards and Dani were coming closer.

"Emma, you're...you're a peahen!" Nahusha exclaimed. Rajasi and Sharma stared in surprise at what had happened.
"You did this, for our son? You could still have a future with him as you were. The races were known for having mixed marriages and children between them. But this is still very romantic." Sharma said, watching them with sweet eyes.
"Really, mother?" Nahusha asked.
"Oh yes, my son. Though, their children grow faster than pure human or pure Cihpromorhtna children. A new race was established by one such mix. They call themselves Muktars, I believe." Rajasi added.

Alidia was shocked when she heard that. "So...a new mixed race..." Emma said, she looked at her used to be hands but they were feathers. "How fast do they grow?" Alidia couldn't shake this. Rahim her Rahim was a mixed race and their unborn children were pure... Alidia began to feel dizzy and that meant that Emma was dizzy. "Rahim..." Alidia thought as her and Emma passed out.  

Rahim instantly found the connection to what they were looking for. Nahusha quickly caught his darling Emma, trying to bring her back to consciousness. He looked up at his parents, expecting an answer from them.
"It normally takes humans nine months to have a child. For Cihpromorhtna, it's eight and a half months. But when we have a mixing of the two, it can be seven months at the most." Sharma answered, honestly.

Alidia was happy but she didn't know about the hunters and when they would strike again. Emma smiled as her beloved caught her. She kissed him. It felt weird but more romantic. Then her chills came back. "Theyre here...the guards and Dani...we need to leave my dear...all of us..." 

"Hurry and follow us." Rajasi instructed. Sharma followed him out with Nahusha and Emma close behind. A short distance away, they found the caravan and quickly began the journey south. The young lovers rode with the Duke and Duchess the whole way.

Emma smiled as they rode off. She made a decoy for Dani & the guards. When they reached the point of destination Emma was in wonder. "It's wonderful..like a dream that I don't wanna wake from..."

"Me neither. I never thought I would really find my parents or learn who I really am. But I have, and I have you to thank for all this, Emma." Nahusha said to her.
"We should host a celebration to honor our son's return and the brave woman who led him this far." Sharma suggested.
"An excellent idea. Our boy and Emma will be the guests of honor." Rajasi agreed.

Emma blushed. But once she placed her feet on the ground on her beloved's ground; it was like the potion. She turned human again. "No..." she cried. "I wanted to be like you...but maybe fate is making me human for a reason..." she looked at her hands and her chocolate brown hair. She smiled as she looked at her beloved. Then she was taken to change. The women of the whole tribe made her absolutely stunning. Her hair was in a braid with flowers. Her dress was white with a peacock-feather train. And she looked like a peacock goddess. "How you think, Nahusha?" 

"I think you're beautiful no matter what you look like. I will love you regardless." Nahusha didn't get to say more than that. The tailors dragged him away to get him ready. His feathers were cleaned until his plumage shone with the light. He was dressed in a blue robe with black trim at the border and red at the sleeves. His display feathers were sprayed with an expensive cologne and a gold medallion with a large sapphire was around his neck.
"What do you think, Emma? Do I look good?" he asked when he found her again.

Emma blushed when Nahusha told her that she'd looked amazing. And when he was changed he looked handsome like always. She bend down and kissed his beck. "Never ask me how you look cause you always look like a prince charming to me...I just wish you were temporary human to caress your cheeks and kiss my sinful lips on your pure ones." she smiled. "and to show you my love for you and only you Nahusha..." 

"Well, there might be a way to do that. Do you remember when I started that fire? Very few Cihpromorhtna can use magic; peafowl are among the few who can. I could give myself a human form for...however long I need it. We may try it out for an experiment." Nahusha said, a mischievous look in his eye as he offered his wing to escort her to the dining hall.

Emma took his wing as they walked in the dining hall. She havent seen so many people like this in awhile...she shuttered. Her flashbacks came back but as a flash. She sat down next to her beloved and his parents. She was smiling.

"This celebration is to honor the return of a son we had thought lost and the young lady who brought him back to us. I wish to present my son, Nahusha, and his charming lady, Emma." Rajasi spoke up. Knowing that it was requesting of him, Nahusha stood up and bowed before the crowd.
"Let the festivities begin. Please enjoy yourselves, everyone." Sharma insisted.

Emma was blushing badly. She felt so honored but she felt like she couldn't deserve it. She got up cause they were playing music. She smiled as she looked at her beloved's father. "Care to dance with a commoner my lord?" she curtsied.

"Me? I don't know how my wife would like me dancing with a younger lady. Perhaps you and our boy might want to dance together." Rajasi joked.
"I would like to dance with Emma, actually." Nahusha said, rather quickly. He got up and offered his wing to take her hand.
"May I?" he asked her.

Emma smiled. "Of course my prince..." Emma curtsied as they danced. She giggled and was having fun. And she kissed his beck but she did wish in secret that it was his human lips.

Nahusha started to lead Emma in a dance. Someone began singing a song that made the music very festive. He felt the dance tell him what to do. Having her here, it brought out his courage to show who he was on the dance floor.

Emma smiled as her and prince charming danced. "I love you so much..." she whispered. "Can you do something for me? Please change into human cause I wanna kiss you properly...plus I have a suprise with the kiss..."

"As you wish." Nahusha said. Conjuring a glamour spell, he revealed his human form. Many of the other dancing couples continued to dance on as he did this.

Emma smiled, blushed and giggled. "Thank you my beloved prince Nahusha...now for a kiss..." Emma started to wrap her hands around his neck, while playfully playing with hair as she kissed him passionately with her "surprise" a bit of her tongue. And she added a playful moan as she traced her fingers on his cloaked chest.  

Nahusha moaned in pleasure at this. His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer as he did. After fifteen seconds, he began to kiss her back with just as much passion.

Emma smiled as they pulled away for the first kiss and the second one took her by surprise. "Oh Nahusha...what should we do since this celebration is for us..." Emma's hair was coming undone. She placed her hands on Nahusha's chest.
