A Queen Among Tempests The Power of Pleasure Pt 1 - Azadou
My hand moves across the paper before me as if guided by an invisible force fuelled by rage and madness. Dust from the stick of charcoal between my fingers swirls in the air, their tiny particles magnified by my keen eyes and yet not even they can distract me from that face. I stare down at the crude etching of that which haunts my every waking moment, my mind a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts. I’m plagued by those rainbow eyes that looked upon me as they widened with an emotion I never thought I could bring out in another. Though I have tried to purge the memory from my mind, I still feel the burning in my fingers from where my flesh touched hers…Touch…I touched her…The cursed flesh that has damned so many met hers and yet she remained unchanged. Her essram did not contort into a mutilated version of itself, drowning in malice. I touched her…and stranger still, she liked it; craved it even, and for some reason that I’m sure is Zarseti’s doing, part of me felt the same. Even now

“In the name of the cosmos! Is your inner monologue always this dreary?” I hear a familiar voice groan in exasperation, taking me by surprise and filling me with disgust.I glance behind me to see none other than the irksome Merlos, sitting high up on a tree branch above me, staring down at me with irritation etched onto her face.“Keep out of my mind and we won’t have a problem,” I snark, glowering at her with disdain.“For someone with all the power of the universe at their fingertips, you sure love to bitch. Far more than me,” she quips.My lip twitches into a sneer of its own accord as I cross my arms over my chest, her very presence filling me with an insatiable desire to rip out her entrails. Assuming she has any…only one way to find out. I launch myself at her with celestial speed, hand outstretched, ready to grip and crush her dainty neck until I feel her windpipe turn to dust in my hand. I smirk a malevolent smirk at her when my hand locks around her throat, the excitement of

I thought that overgrown carrier pigeon would never fucking leave!The sun has set, and the moon is now high in the night sky though obscured by clouds. As soon as Orenda’s ‘brother’ takes off – no doubt to see to patrols – I transport myself into Orenda’s bedroom and find myself momentarily thrown, not by the overpowering scent coating every inch of this room but by the aesthetic.Everything about this creature is about light and colour. Their home from what I observed through the ridiculous number of windows is bright and open. Predominantly white with contrasts of earthy tones and accents of black. It radiated warmth, the natural opposite of my coldness. But I find myself thrown and confused by how vastly different her room is from the rest of the house. It’s dark and I mean the colour not the absence of light. Almost storm-like. It’s mostly warm browns, navy blues and golds…it instantly clicks that her room looks like a more subtle, underwhelming version of the colours of her bird

I feel like I’m going crazy.Every night I have had these overwhelmingly vivid dreams where in them, Azadou comes to my room at night touching me, pleasing me and telling me that I am his. They are erotic as hell, but they are driving me insane. Every morning I wake up exhausted, soaking wet and frustrated beyond belief. I’ve tried masturbation but once again I gave up extremely fast because no matter what I did I just couldn’t finish. My touch doesn’t burn and excite me the way his did and if I’m honest, it’s not fingers I’m craving.I feel like my mind is reliving the frustration of that day in his house. I fantasise about his fingers inside me or his mouth on my body because at least I know what one of those is like. I’m incapable of picturing what it would be like to actually have him inside me I guess because I have no idea what he looks like naked. I’ve seen him shirtless and that…that was enough to make my brain explode.I still recall circling the battlefield when our bond cli

I take a deep breath and sit up, letting all the air out of my lungs as I look over at my closet. I reflect on Aya’s words, realising he made some strong points. I don’t wallow or whine about anything. Of course, I’ve never had anything to wallow or whine about until now. Even with my duties, my life has been relatively carefree. I feel like the carefree side of me has been snuffed out a little since my animai came into my life, which sucks because an animai is meant to make you feel whole and complete, not miserable and frustrated.Aya is right, I do need a night of fun!Launching myself off the bed, I march over to my closet, push open the sliding doors and begin examining everything I own. I’m starting to question my own taste when a particular ensemble grabs my attention. I grab the hanger and look over the skimpy little number as a wave of rebellion washes over me. Would Azadou be enticed to see me in this or angered? Well, he’s likely to never see it so why the hell should I car

With our impeccable speed we arrive at Superno in record time, landing in a parking lot behind the building so we don’t attract too much attention on the side street. We shift back to our human forms and walk to the front of the building. As soon as the bouncer at the door takes a good look at his, his eyes zeroing in on ours, he immediately lifts the blue velvet rope and lets us pass, bowing his head respectfully as we enter. I admit I’ve kind of missed that.We enter to the sounds of music pumping, to the point I can feel it in my chest. We push through the throngs of people – supernaturals from every walk of life – and make our way over to the bar, the icy blue and red neon lights of the club contrasting making me unsure whether I should feel warm or cold.Aya leans across the bar to get the attention of one of the bartenders and I just know the first thing he’ll do is order a lemon drop. He goes crazy for them.The bartender walks over, freezes for a second staring at us in surpri

I turn off the tap, compose myself and step back into the club. I only manage to take a single step when I feel strong arms snake around my waist from behind, their contact burning my skin like salacious fire, making me gasp in pleasure. I don’t have to look to know whose arms are wrapped around me. I feel it in the core of my being as my essram rejoices to finally be in his arms. He pulls me close, my back firmly pressed against his chest, burning my skin with our contact and once again I don’t fight it; I relish it. I take in a deep breath, inhaling his scent like oxygen. The more chances I get to experience it the better I can describe it. He smells like frost on a cold winter’s night, the kind that chills you to the bone and turns your breath to fog. I never thought such a scent could be so alluring, but here we are.He leans down, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear making me shiver. “Is my little avifauna trying to fly away?” he whispers, his deep, bass of a voice sendi

I have become consumed by my consumption of Orenda.Bringing her body to pleasure has turned into an obsession that continues to rob me of my faculties. No longer am I satisfied to see her vulnerable, sleeping form writhe in ecstasy as her mind fills with dreams of me, now I crave to see the pleasure in her eyes. I sought her out like a shark seeks out chum in the water. I let her touch me and her touch became my undoing. The exquisite burn of her skin cast a blinding, primal haze over my mind and in that moment, it was no longer just her pleasure I craved but my own. I hungered to feel my pleasure through her, but I was not prepared for it.I never knew my body could experience such euphoria. It felt foreign and confusing. All I have ever known is malice and coldness, but I feel heat and desire when I am near that frustrating avifauna or even think of her. Giving into my desire left me sated and ravenous, all at the same time. I hunger for that feeling again, but do I hunger for it of

Something forceful shakes my body, pulling me from my slumber and sending shockwaves of pain through every nerve in my body.“You are not ruining everything I have worked so hard on,” I hear Invidia’s voice angrily hiss close to my ear.I struggle to open my eyes, only managing to catch glimpses of her through blurry slits. I see the dreaded syringe in her hand and begin to scream internally, pleading with my body to do something, anything. My vision repeatedly fades between darkness and Invidia’s small frame hovering over me as I struggle to keep my eyes open even a fraction. I can feel the life leaving my body bit by bit like water going down a drain. I want to scream, I want to cry, but I don’t even have the energy to produce tears anymore.The despair strangles me like a noose around my neck as I watch Invidia lift my shirt, ready to jam another needle inside me. Her eyes turn obsidian, her golden pupils glinting at me with disgust when suddenly a soft lilac-blue stone hanging aro

“Wh…what do you mean you can’t grant me a wish?!” Ayawamat stammers in confusion.Tituba sighs sympathetically. “Don’t you remember? You accidentally triggered a wish two centuries ago and I had no choice but to grant it.”Ayawamat’s face scrunches up as he thinks hard, followed by a look of realisation that confirms Tituba’s words to be the truth.“Fuck!” he shouts, clutching his head. “You’re right. I remember Orenda and I came to spend time with you; we were drinking, and I stupidly tripped and fell right into you,” he sighs lamentably.She nods solemnly. “I’m sorry, Aya. I really do want to help you, but you know I can only grant one wish per person,” she gently clarifies.“Then grant me the wish,” I instruct, walking over to them.Their heads snap to me as they both look taken aback.“I’ve never granted the wish of a God before…” she muses warily. “But if it will help find Orenda, I am more than willing to try,” she declares confidently, extending her hand to me.As I reach for h

With Ayawamat at my side, we appear on a cliffside high atop a mountain, standing at the entrance of some cave. The cliffside has a scenic view of the surrounding forest; a sea of lush colour that stretches on for miles until it reaches the ocean on the horizon.Orenda would love this view.I’m startled by the sudden thought that infiltrated my mind. Why did I just think that? How the fuck would I know what Orenda loves? I don’t know her any more than I know myself, and I’ve come to realise I am still a stranger to myself. I shake away the unruly thought and focus back on the cave, becoming aware of the magic exuding from within.“How exactly can this cave help find your sister?” I question sceptically.Ayawamat rolls his eyes and steps inside. I heave a sigh and follow in behind him. He raises his hand in the air and summons an electric charge to his hand, using its energy as a light source to guide his path.“This cave is home to a visum named Tituba. She has lived here in isolation

“You know, over these past weeks I decided to do a little extra research into your species,” she discloses like a teacher addressing a class as she slowly starts to pace in front of the bed, making me uneasy. “I knew you wouldn’t willingly answer my questions, so I went back to my old method of scouring magical libraries around the world only to realise I’d already exhausted that avenue the first time I started researching you,” she says with a dramatised sigh.She pauses, waiting for me to prompt her to continue with her monologue but I remain silent. I’m painfully accustomed to this performance by now and still refuse to feed into her need for an audience, though it’s obvious where the need stems from.She huffs with irritation at being denied her spotlight, but continues, turning to face me. “I was racking my brain when suddenly an idea hit me!” she exclaims. “I needed to expand my research parameters, after all, humans have tons and tons of lore on supernatural beings all over the

“Spare me the virtuous bullshit,” she rasps. “You think you have me all figured out, but you don’t have a fucking clue,” she ridicules.I force myself to sit up, pushing through the overwhelming ache in my body. “Then explain it to me,” I insist lethargically. “Because from my side of things, I see a promising young woman so hell-bent on accumulating power that she’d sacrifice her future and soul without a second thought.”“This isn’t about power!” she snaps in reproach. “Power is…it’s nothing!” she continues with contemptible disinterest. “This is about respect. This is about reclaiming everything that I was denied!” she declares forcefully, her eyes wild with determination. “That heartless bitch treated me like some dirty little secret, using me and my powers to make herself stronger, all while making sure no one ever knew I existed,” she reveals scornfully. “Oh, she wanted me to believe that it was for my own protection, claiming people would try to hurt me if they knew I existed,”

As I slowly wake up I am met with an unbearable soreness emanating from every part of my body. Within seconds I am pleading with my brain to let me go back to sleep so I might resume being blissfully ignorant of my suffering. I shift slightly, grimacing when the soreness intensifies only to then groan in pain when I feel the profound throbbing and swelling spreading throughout my right cheek.“About time you woke up,” grouses a voice I detest.I reluctantly open my eyes and see a distressingly familiar wooden vaulted ceiling. A glance at my surroundings confirms that I am back in the bedroom that doubles as my prison cell, with my warden sitting on a chair at the foot of the bed. Invidia's eyes are obsessively fixed on me as a glower fills her features. She’s leaning forward with her elbows on her knees, her muscles rigid with tension and her hands clasped tight in front of her. Her white hair is pushed back with a headband, allowing me to see the beads of sweat gathering on her brow.

“You said everyone believes the eyti surges were a trap to lure in you and your sister and that whoever was behind them has and is cloaking Orenda,” I repeat for clarification, trying to stay focused.He nods, looking intently at me. “That’s the current theory, but it hasn’t helped us figure out who it could be.”“I think you’re all right. I think this is related to the false surges and I believe I’ve come across the person behind them,” I announce.“What? When? Who?” he sputters with rapid fire.“I don’t know who, but I’m sure Orenda told you of the conversation we had on the matter,” I suggest gently.His brows knit together so tightly they almost become one as he thinks hard. “She did tell me how she told you we believed a makkari was behind everything and you confirmed that was true. That you had figured it out and just didn’t bother to say anything,” he recalls resentfully.The list of all the ways this is my fault is becoming exceedingly long. Not only is it my fault Orenda was

I stare at him in disbelief, the chasm of despair that formed inside me the moment I accepted Orenda’s rejection widening painfully in response to his words. Abducted? All this time Orenda has been held captive, left all alone while…“So why the fuck did you come here, Azadou?” he questions angrily, his voice congested as he fights back tears. “Why after all this time did you finally decide my sister was worth doing right by? If that’s even how you feel at all,” he adds cynically.I wade through the emotions that are drowning me from the inside, as I see the turmoil oozing from Ayawamat’s pores. His pain is so intense that I can barely detect the stench of malice. I have been suffering because I pushed Orenda away. I did this to myself and deserve every drop of pain that comes from it, but Orenda doesn’t deserve to suffer, and neither does her brother. I’m understanding this is what sympathy and compassion feel like. I know I have to tell him why I came here, but the compassion I now

I scrub my face and run my fingers through my hair, taking in a lungful of air as I stand up. I push down the pain and the fear and transport myself to Orenda’s home. I appear in Orenda’s room, expecting to see but all I see is an unmade bed. I take in a deep breath, seeking to inhale her scent and reprint its fading memory on my mind, but as I do a frown sets on my face. While I can detect traces of it lingering all over the room, giving me a relieving sense of comfort I haven’t felt in ages, I am confused by how weak it is. The scent is so faded it’s as though she hasn’t stepped foot in this room in weeks.Feeling perplexed and uneasy, I open the door and step into the hallway. Having only ever been in her bedroom, I wander the house in search of her. I’m detecting numerous scents, her brother’s being the most prominent, but not Orenda’s. I don’t hear her or smell her at all. As I look around the open layout of the ground floor, not finding any trace of her, I feel my heart deflate
