Luke's POV

I opened my eyes in confusion. Just moments before, we had been in the dining hall at the light Fae court. I had just had an earth-shattering orgasm and suddenly I blacked out. Now, we were in some dark forest. I struggled against the brambles that held my arms, "Nimue, where are we?"

She whimpered slightly to the left of me, "Fairie, but in the Dark realm. I don't understand how we got here?" I could hear and feel her fear. Before I could say anything else, a dark silhouette entered the shadow-covered grove.

"My Lady", a deep voice said, "Come to me." The brambles restraining Nimue fell and she moved forward as if hypnotized. I saw the creature run a hand down her cheek when she stood in front of him. "I've waited for this moment for centuries," he said softly, then bent his head, capturing her lips against his. She moaned and fell into his embrace.

"What the fuck are you doing to her," I yelled, "Don't hurt her."

He lowered her to her knees then came and stood before me. He towered over me, with deep black eyes, but something seemed familiar. "I would never harm her, Merlin. I only claim what is my right." His words seemed to vibrate in my mind.

"You can't," I started.

"I can and I will. I promise you will understand soon," he said and lifted my chin with one hand. His fingers pinched my mouth open and with his other hand, he crushed bright red berries, letting the juice run down my throat. I tried to spit it out, but he clamped my mouth shut and massaged my throat, forcing me to swallow. My body thrashed against the brambles until I felt like all my energy was gone.

It took me a few moments to realize he was no longer in front of me but now stood behind Nimue, his cock fully inside of her as she groaned in pleasure. I tried to cry out but found I had no voice. "Let go of your mortal bonds, Merlin. Follow the magic and learn the truth. No harm will befall our Lady, I give you the word of the Holly King," he grunted as he continued to fuck her. My vision blurred and I felt like I was being pulled in a million directions. I could still feel the bonds around me, but I also felt the dark grove. I closed my eyes and did as he commanded - I let go.

The Merlin has returned, the trees whispering to one another. I felt my soul being drawn to each of them, then as if I were racing, I saw magical cities and villages, groves and seas, each tied to a tree, linked to the groves. Tendrils of light, of life, snaked from tree to village as they fed each other magically. Then images of my brothers flashed in my mind. Some I could clearly see intertwined with the tendrils, their Druid marks tethering them to a magical community, while others were still unclear. I watched as the lines flickered and dimmed. What was happening? I cried out to the trees for answers but received only silence.

One line suddenly flared bright and I followed it, finding myself back in the dark grove. I could see my body still bound in brambles, eyes white, but alive. In the light of the grove, I saw Nimue, her skin glowing blue as the Holly King took her from behind. He held her up against his chest, gently thrusting into her. "Come for me, my love," he whispered, "Your light soothes my darkness, my Queen."

Her eyes shone brightly as she responded to his touch, her face etched in ecstasy. His thrusts became more frantic as she panted and cried out. I felt myself becoming aroused watching them. His eyes locked on mine, "Feed the land with your desire, Merlin - connect." What the hell was he talking about? Then a wave of arousal slammed into me. I could feel her orgasm, her juices running down her legs. My corporeal form struggled against the restraints as I came watching her. The ground bloomed as her release soaked in. Small violet-blue flowers littered the grove near her, just as brilliant white flowers began to bloom around my body.
