“Yes,” said Rhiannon, tears of joy streaking her face. After so many years of absence, her chorus of dream spirits had found her again.
“You will remain here until I return,” Edwin advised. “Under no circumstances are you to leave the cellar. Under no circumstances are you to even walk near the wooden steps.”
She panicked over the thought of Edwin not returning, but she kept her expression confident and kissed her husband for luck. He strode up the wooden stairs and shut the door behind him.
The hours passed and Rhiannon grew sick with worry. No sound was heard in the palace above. No footsteps. No voices. No scratching or moaning. It was as silent as the grave.
“Edwin,” she whispered through a wave of tears. What if the dream spirits had misguided her? What if, despite the flaggarock spear, Edwin had failed to kill the Crigon?
Evening came and Edwin was still absent. He was dead, Rhiannon knew it. And when she remembered she hadn’t told him of their future child, she wept a river and fell asleep amidst the greatest sorrow ever known to her.
The dream spirits didn’t visit her that night. Rhiannon was suffocating in the cellar, and despite Edwin’s warning, she planned to leave. So, she melted more flaggarock pebbles and dipped another spear tip in the pearly liquid.
The Palace of Lights remained silent, but most of the doors were open. The Whispering Forest was warm and filled with morning sunlight, but Edwin was nowhere to be found. After a while, Rhiannon began screaming his name to the trees, but only the whooping birds responded.
When darkness descended upon the land, Rhiannon dragged herself toward the palace with a heavy heart. She felt like the last person on Earth, left behind after the burning war with the Caves of Terr.
The stars and moon were bright, and it wasn’t hard to navigate through the underbrush. But Rhiannon gasped when firm hands seized her from behind, knocking the spear away. She struggled to move forward, believing that the evil Crigon had her in his grasp.
But her fears were soon erased when Edwin spoke into her ear. “As red as the moon apples in the Whispering Forest,” he said.
“Edwin!” she exclaimed, turning around to embrace her husband. He held her tight, but she could feel his anger.
She had left the cellar, despite his instructions, and now she would be punished. Swiftly and harshly, just as he had warned. But, oh, he was alive!
“The evil Crigon has been destroyed,” said Edwin. “We are safe again.”
Rhiannon touched his face and breathed against his neck, thanking the goddesses that her beloved husband had not been harmed. She was so happy she almost didn’t care about the punishment she was sure to receive.
As Edwin marched her to their old bedroom in the Palace of Lights, her emotions wavered between relief and fear. Edwin was alive! But she had broken his strictest rule and would soon suffer the consequences.
“You know why you are about to be punished,” Edwin said. “Remove your dress. Now.”
Rhiannon complied, quickly slipping out of her dress. She stood frozen as Edwin sat on the edge of the bed. She didn’t want a spanking. She just wanted to fall asleep wrapped in her husband’s arms. If she had just had more patience, then she wouldn’t be in so much trouble on a night that should have been joyous.
“Please, Edwin,” she said. “Please don’t punish me. I just got so worried that you were gone for so long.”
“Enough!” Edwin roared. “Excuses will not get you out of this punishment. I told you to wait in the cellar until I returned. No matter how long I was gone! What if it had been the evil Crigon who had found you in the Whispering Forest? Do you have any idea the things he would have done to you? He was a murderer in his days as a mortal man. A thief, a murderer, a rapist, and a sadist capable of the worst evils.”
Rhiannon dropped her face into her hands. She had been so impatient and foolish, and now Edwin was angry and disappointed in her. His earlier threat echoed in her mind.
As red as the moon apples of the Whispering Forest!
She’d seen the moon apples during their walks and couldn’t recall ever seeing a fruit so bright red.
“Come here. Now.”
Though her feet were heavy with reluctance, Rhiannon managed to move closer to Edwin. He pulled her over his lap, pinning her so that her bottom was high in the air and blood rushed to her face.
The spanking began immediately, his wide callused hand lashing speedily against her flesh without mercy.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Edwin slapped his hand upon her upturned bottom, covering both her cheeks, and though she couldn’t turn and glimpse her bottom, she suspected it was truly as red as the moon apples of the Whispering Forest. It was the most painful bare bottom spanking Rhiannon had felt yet, almost as awful as the switching had been. She cried freely, but she didn’t beg him to stop. Edwin was a fair husband, and this spanking was much deserved.
Just when Rhiannon thought it couldn’t become worse, he started into her sweet spot where her thighs meet her buttocks. Only his legs pinning hers down kept her from kicking. It became difficult to remain still under so much pain, and she writhed on his lap as the spanks rained down again and again.
Without warning, Edwin stopped and pulled her into his lap, cupping her face firmly between the very hands he’d just used to punish. His eyes were icy, his entire body tense. “Do you have any idea what he would’ve done to you, my sweet lass?”
Rhiannon was forced to stare into his hurting eyes, though she longed to look away from his gaze. “Yes, and I’m sorry. Please forgive me, Edwin.”
He stared at her for a long while, his deep blue eyes penetrating to her very soul. This was worse than the spanking, she decided. But when he kissed her, she knew all was forgiven and she melted against him.
Rhiannon gasped when he jumped up, carrying her to the top of the bed. She lay down and watched him stand tall above her, tugging his shirt off. Her heart quickened when he pulled the belt from his pants.
“Turn over,” he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Rhiannon obeyed, turning onto her stomach. She should have suspected her punishment wasn’t over yet, given the transgression. But to her surprise, the slaps of the belt upon her bottom were light, sensuous even. Even as they snapped against her freshly punished flesh, it didn’t hurt all that much, and she soon found her womanly core aching with desire.
When Edwin turned her over, he was completely undressed, standing in all his naked glory with his manhood brutally stiff.
“Spread your legs,” he commanded.
As soon as Rhiannon’s legs were bent and wide apart, he positioned himself near her moist folds with the belt still in hand. Her legs trembled and she moaned as he rubbed the tip of the belt against her delicate area.
“By the way,” Edwin said, “you are forgiven.” He smiled as he continued rubbing the tip of the belt over Rhiannon’s burning folds.
They made love long into the night and in several different rooms in the Palace of Lights.

After Rhiannon told Edwin she was with child, they traveled to the gates of Strellia. A fog of light enveloped them, slowly carrying them through the golden gates into the afterlife. The first thing Rhiannon noticed was the shimmering wall to the right of the stretching meadows.
“That, sweet lass, is a window between Strellia and Ettonelli,” Edwin said. “After we greet Stretta, we will go visit your lines of family, including your grandmother.”
Rhiannon gushed and kissed Edwin on the cheek, barely noticing the approaching group of Crigons who meant to welcome them.
Edwin guided Rhiannon ahead, his hand possessively patting her bottom. “Remember what I told you,” he said with a mock warning look. “There are rules here too.”
