"Hi," she said softly, mopping the sweat off his brow. She noticed where he was looking, and blushed. "Ah, it seems my clothing is in a condition which I had failed to notice." In another moment she was dry.
An explosion set off in the door frame as Prime poked a hole in his skin. Lightning crackled around the room, the temperature dropped and rose as ice and fire flared out, light and darkness conflicted with each other around the wound. Wind burst out, sending bedsheets and paper flying everywhere. Energy both holy and unholy cracked across the air, shifting probabilities. The wound quickly sealed over and the power was gone.
Prime looked at Aurora. "What is this, Aurora? What am I now?"
Holly looked at Prime pointedly. "I don't think now is the best time," she said. She tucked Auro firmly in bed, and climbed in with him to keep his still-cold body warmer. Prime nodded, and muttered various theories in the doorway. A sudden realization took him, and he teleported Tredriel's Light back into the room. "Almost forgot you."

Aurora was shocked that she got into bed with him -- not that he minded, of course, he was rather enjoying the closeness. He didn't even think Prime was an idiot for opening himself up: if he was indeed an adept, he would get over it in time. Aurora cuddled up to Holly and asked, "Any idea what happened?" His bottom lip shivered. "I mean... shouldn't I be dead?"

"I'm not sure I want to tell you the details, but you can just ask Prime. He's cold enough to tell you. After you got hit by Prime's flame attack, and were burnt half to death, Prime's only thought seemed to be saving you, and I could clearly see he would've gone to any length."
Holly paused. "He, well, he guessed. He teleported Odinthrana down from the stands, and stabbed you with it. Due to your own nature, you were greatly healed by the weapon, though you did sustain a stab wound. But the stab wound Prime could heal, all the other injuries he could not, so it all worked out for the best."
Prime grunted from the doorway. He'd picked up on some of Aurora's stronger thoughts. "I don't know if I can accept this easily, Aurora, in this condition... I'm disabled like you. I could only safely fall in love with a divine being..."
He left the room.

"Wait -- what did he mean by that?" Aurora was really confused. Prime was like him? In a sense, yes, he might be an adept. But the other bit? He didn't know. He turned to Holly for answers.

"Ah well, as you may already know, if an adept becomes intimate with a human... The various elements in their bodies can have a rather... extreme effect. And from the thoughtwaves he's broadcasting, he's certainly in love with a human woman." She sent Auro an image of Diamond, fierce and determined, her spear held forward and down, her hair blowing in the wind and her eyes set and resolute. "That one. Do you know her?"

"We met briefly, to fight two powerful dragons." Aurora thought back. "But how would that make us the same? I haven't been in love with a mortal for a very long time." He shifted on the bed a littlem trying not to lean on the stab wound's scar which was still very tender. It was starting to hurt, like there was a fire inside him.
"Can you do anything about this scar? It's hurting. Badly."

"I can't do anything about your scar, Auro, I'm sorry. That weapon is powerful -- I'm surprised Prime managed to heal it so greatly. As for how it makes you the same... Prime cannot be intimate with a woman, or he'll kill her. Don't you understand that?" she said softly, gently pushing Aurora back down into the bed. "Don't move, you'll only make it worse. I'm surprised you took such a beating, Prime must underestimate himself."

"No, it's obvious I overestimate myself. Without my swords I'm just another mediocre fighter," Aurora shouted. His palms blew up in flames and he instinctively set ice upon them. "What the hell was that?" he fumed. "And in answer to your question, no, I don't know how it would feel. I've never been allowed, I was forbidden when I was a child."

"I see... But you'll know how Prime feels now." Holly leaned forward, and softly kissed Dave on the lips, gently biting his lower lip and wraping her arms around his back and head, and pushed him back onto the bedsheets. "Or are adepts incapable of love?"
* * *
Prime stood on the mountain range outside of his house, pondering all that had happened to him, and thinking of Diamond. He sighed. There didn't seem to be anything he could do about this. It just was, and he'd have to accept it. He decided not to go back into the house for a while. He needed time to think, and Aurora wasn't so good with these things.

"We're capable, if the right someone comes along," said Aurora, kissing back.

Six hours and two very satisfied people later, Holly skipped out of the master bedroom and into the kitchen. Then she suddenly noticed Prime sitting in his recliner. "Have fun?" he asked bluntly.
She opened the fridge and gave him a beer. "How long have you been back?" she asked.
"Four hours or so. I hope you didn't mess up my bedsheets too much. While you two were so occupied, I set up another bedroom for you. It's just as large as the master, with a main floor and an upstairs loft. You're all welcome to stay here, this is like a freaking mansion after all."
"Thank you," she said honestly, pulling some food out of the fridge.
"I don't suppose you two used condoms?"
"We couldn't. If you put them on Aurora, they'd just freeze and shatter anyways."
Prime nodded. "One more adept for the world, perhaps. Its a sad existence from where I'm standing."
She almost reached out to him, but stopped herself. She knew he was the kind of man who would resent her pity. She sat and ate in silence, leaving Prime to his own thoughts. She opened her mind to scour the land, and soon found Diamond.
<Yes?> Diamond asked, secure behind her mental barriers.
<He loves you, did you know?> Holly asked, sending an image of the new Prime.
She heard a mental gasp from Diamond. <He's alive?!> She teleported into the living room.
"Prime!" she squealed before throwing herself at him. Prime was so surprised he didn't even react. "Oof. What the hell?" He shot an accusing look at Holly. "Um, nice to see you again, Diamond."
She got up and slapped him, hard. "You bastard! Making me think you were dead!"

Aurora walked out of the bedroom, just in his boxers, looking very pleased with himself. He planted a kiss on Holly's cheek and sat next to her, placing his arm around her.
"Hey Diamond, nice to see you again; when'd you get back, Prime?" he asked.

Prime said, from his position on the floor, "Right when you started screaming 'Oh FUCK HOLLY!' and 'Yeehaww!'" he said bluntly.
Diamond sat down at the table with the others. "Hi, Aurora. I guess something eventful has happened while I was absent. Would someone mind explaining to me why and how Prime is still alive?"
Prime started cooking breakfast, and the smell of eggs, bacon, toast, and tea wafted around the room.

"Pretty simple really. Some evil dude put him back together, sent him after me, we fought for what seemed a year, he brought me to his boss, I owned his boss and turned him normal again," he said really fast. "Unfortunately, it seems he was turned into an adept. Prime can explain what he feels about it because at the moment, I'm glad of my powers, or I would have never been with this angel here," he said with a motion toward Holly.

"Side note," Prime said. "Holly is really an angel. He's not just saying that." He chuckled as he put plates on the table and dished out the eggs, bacon, and toast. Then he busied himself with the tea. "And so help me god Aurora, if you tell her why I'm depressed, I'll refry you."
He turned to Diamond, leaning on the counter. "I've become an adept, and as this change has occurred, it has come with certain difficulties." He walked onto the sundeck, and cut a hole in the back of his hand. The elemental storm momentarily reached into the sky, then sealed itself over. "I've become like Aurora, unable to touch people for too long, lest my focus waver and I lose control of my power, and cause some unsavory things to happen to them. The only reason Aurora here is able to do what he did is because of the fact that Holly is, in fact, an angel."
Diamond nodded. She understood, and she could piece together the puzzle, especially with what Holly had told her, but there wasn't anything she could do. She felt the same way, but... she was a mortal. And he'd kill her if they became intimate... "I'm sorry Prime, I understand how you feel."

Aurora got up and went back to the bedroom to get dressed. He came back out ten minutes later.
"My armor is totally roasted," he pouted.

"That's too--"
Prime broke off, and everyone in the room looked toward the ceiling as they sensed two powerful beings appear through separate dimensional rifts. A mixture of holy and unholy aura covered the world and dampened the sky.
"It has begun..." Prime said quietly.
Holly put her hand to Aurora's chest, and his white knightly armor covered him once more. "My hero," she whispered.
