Part 04: DENNA MARAIS
Denna stared at the wall from her bedchamber at the People's Palace for hours. She would have to find and protect the new Lord Rahl coming from Westland, a poor land far from D'Hara. A forest man, son of a lapse from the insatiable Panis Rahl. But the worst, it is having to protect the biggest breeder and a crazy old. I'm Mord'Sith, my duty is to Lord Rahl only!
Anyway, Denna did what was asked to her. She found and protected Richard and his loved ones. She stayed in their company almost two years, and in those time, she found out life was much more than being only Mord'Sith, and with those three people, her feelings are not a reason to be mocked or tortured by discipline.
Denna realized along the way that her partners of journey - the forest man, the biggest breeder and the crazy old - became the Seeker, the Mother Confessor, and the First Wizard. Denna would do anything for them.
When Richard put the Stone of Tears at the Pillars of the Creation, they saved the world together and celebrated their victory, Denna realized her partners of journey had become Richard, Kahlan and Zedd, her friends. Despite all the things that had happened, they had accepted Denna like an equal, a friend. Although the Mother Confessor Kahlan kept a such distance from her, she did not forgave Denna, but besides Kahlan's hurt, both women had a respectful coexistence. Denna would die for them. More once, Cara was right.
Well, but not everything was easy.

At first, the Mother Confessor wanted to kill Denna because she was Mord'Sith, once she had tortured the Seeker and tried to kill the Mother Confessor, time ago. The First Wizard did not trust her because she is Mord'Sith, he always stayed far from her. But the Seeker, he heard her when she told him in that time, it was Cara who had sent her to protect them, she told what Cara had told her about the future and that she was from Cara's squad, then, he gave a chance to her.
Days later, Kahlan dreamt about she was the last Confessor alive. Richard and Zedd tried to reassure Kahlan because it was only a dream.
"This is real. Confessors do not exist anymore," Denna said dryly. Richard and Zedd turned around to look at her. The Seeker, frowning his brow and the First Wizard, nervous. The Mother Confessor had her head down, her chin on her chest, looking at Denna with daggers in her eyes. If look could kill, Denna would be dead.
"Tell us the truth," the Seeker and Lord Rahl ordered.
"Cara was sent to Valeria with half of our squad, Dahlia, Triana, Garen, Berdine and Raina and dozens D'Hara soldiers. Cara's mission was to take the male Confessor baby to Darken Rahl, kill the baby's Confessor-mother, and every Confessor who were in the way. Cara's squad never fail under her command. But the baby was killed for his own mother before Cara could hold him, then, Cara killed the baby's mother. All forty-three Confessors were killed. The ones who tried to run away, they were hunted and tortured before dying. Apparently, just one Confessor was not there." Denna arches her brow, looking at the Mother Confessor.
"And where were you?" The Seeker asked to Denna. "I and the rest of Cara's squad went to hunt Jennsen Rahl," Denna says looking at the Seeker.
The Mother Confessor falls on the ground, weeping all night long, the baby's mother, it was her sister Dennee. She wants to be face to face with her sister's killer, Cara Mason. Then, Richard told Kahlan and Zedd about the future and about Cara, when he, Cara and Shota were there and what the male Confessor, Kahlan's son, had made. And what Dennee's son could do in the Darken Rahl's hands.

Once, the Mother Confessor was torn in half, an emotional half and a Confessor half. Richard had refused to be with Kahlan separated in two. Then, while the Wizard put the Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell together, Denna approached from the Seeker. The entire Mother Confessor found Denna and Richard, both naked, into one of the bedchambers at the Confessor Palace, and she became insanely jealous and furious. But Denna was just doing her duty to her Lord Rahl. She was the favorite of Darken Rahl, and it seems that Richard was enough pleased with her too, and even, protected her against the Mother Confessor's wrath.

After weeks, a Sister of the Dark Nicci appeared to kill the Mother Confessor and kidnap the Seeker, but Denna did not allow it, catching her in the forest. Nicci's magic was useless against Mistress Denna, then Denna captured her, using her agiel to let the Sorceress unconscious.
At night, when it was Denna's watch, she thought in tortured the tied Sorceress, still unconscious near the campfire. Denna carried her toward the darkness, distant to do not be heard but near enough to run and protect her friends. But when Denna put Nicci on the ground, she was captured by Nicci's beauty.
Often, wizards and witches and sorceresses were ugly and old, but Nicci was the opposite. Denna smirked, Mord'Sith were known to be master in pain and pleasure, and then, she changed her mind, she stripped out Nicci's clothes and her leathers, and laid over Nicci's naked body, taking pleasure on this.
When a dizzy Sorceress awaked, Denna kissed her, without stopping to rub herself against the Sorceress' body, soon, both blonde women were moaning, writhing and releasing an intense orgasm together. Nicci was perplexed, Denna was smirking. When Denna smelled Nicci's arousal, in a heartbeat, Denna's mouth was devouring Nicci's sex, Nicci moaned out loud when her second intense orgasm was released, the sensation invaded her entire body, taking away her strength.
A loud noise coming from campfire did Denna caught her agiel and ran toward the campfire, banelings were approaching of the clearing, Denna screamed, awakening the others and fought.
When all was over, "why, for the Creator's sake, are you naked?" Zedd said, looking at her up and down, and waiting an answer.
When Denna turned around, the Seeker looked at the ground quickly and the Mother Confessor had her face deep red, but she looked at Denna's body up and down before turning her back toward Denna.
Denna looked at the spot where she was with Nicci, then at the First Wizard, "I have needs".
Zedd raised his brow, "the food was not good to your delicate stomach?"
Denna stared at the First Wizard with her opened mouth, perplexed, and before she could answer, she heard the Seeker ask about Nicci. The Sorceress had disappeared.

After saving the Mother Confessor's life many times, Denna was allowed to exchange some words with the Mother Confessor. And hoping to please her, Denna went to hunting and made a fire to cooking the lunch.
The Mother Confessor was talking with a bright blue light in her hand, sitting near a lake while Richard and Zedd were studying a map.
But the forest had some caves, and the lake, full with toxic and flammable substances. If it were not for Zedd's magic, and his protective spell, all of them would be dead by the big explosion.
Unfortunately, the Night Wisps' home was nearby and all area was burned and all of them died. Just like the Mother Confessor, that Night Wisp in the Kahlan's hand now, it was the last one. Although the Night Wisps were more lucky than Confessors, because the one with the Mother Confessor, it was pregnant and Night Wisps would keep their kind.

When Denna returned to People's Palace, she told Cara everything and that Lord Rahl would be in D'Hara soon.
Some days after Richard and Zedd are in D'Hara, Denna wanted to please him again, remembering of Aydindril. She is a woman with needs and, for sure, Richard, the Lord Rahl has his needs too. Then...

Denna is in the courtyard when the portal is opened and a lot of soldier invades the People's Palace.
Denna has killed many Jagang's soldiers when she hears Richard's scream, she sees Kahlan and runs toward her. She is near the Mother Confessor when the blonde in black casts a spell to paralyze Denna, but Denna defects it, and knocks out the blonde sorceress. Jagang grabs Kahlan's arm, but Cara hits him with her agiel, Jagang winces, then, punches Cara, she falls on his feet. He drags Kahlan and crosses the portal. Denna goes after them.
There are so many soldiers, but Denna's focus is to save the Mother Confessor. She sees when the stout man, full with earrings and bracelets grabs Kahlan's arms and throws her inside a tent. Then he turns and fights, while shouting order to his soldiers.
Denna fights hard, and enter in the tent, there is another woman besides the Mother Confessor there. Denna grabs Kahlan's arm, pulling her outside, but the Mother Confessor tries to free herself, saying that another woman is her sister Dennee. But the stout man is in front of them and he puts his hand on the Kahlan's forehead and she bows, "kill her!", the stout man says.
When the Mother Confessor lifts her gaze toward Denna, her eyes are all black, Denna screams and quickly, put her agiel on the Mother Confessor's temple and the woman falls unconscious.
Suddenly, the Sorceress Nicci appears into the tent, she holds Denna's arm and put her foot over Kahlan's hand, pressing it slightly.
