I watch, stunned by my actions – though doing my best to hide it – as Azadou casually turns his head to glance at his back. He glances up at me, his face expressionless and my own emotions becoming so amplified I can’t even get a lock on what he’s feeling right now.

“That tickled,” he deadpans.

Have you ever seen that moment in an anime where a character just turns red and keels over? That’s what my brain is doing at this very moment.

It tickled. It fucking tickled. Of course, it did! He’s a God. I may harness the same power as Jartre, but when it comes to conjuring lightning, my bolts only contain a fraction of the power the Gods hold.

Azadou turns his head away for a moment and then proceeds to sit down on the sofa, resting his elbows on his knees.

“I discovered the anomaly the night I woke you up,” he states with a suggestive glint in his eyes.

I feel my cheeks begin to flush at the memory, but I refuse to get distracted.

“You mean the surges?” I press.

  • A Queen Among Tempests   The Excitement of Newness Pt 1 - Orenda

    Stepping into Superno, I try to peer around the people in the crowd packed together like sardines. Eventually, I manage to spot distinctive, wavy white hair as a strobe light bounces off it. Feeling excited, I make my way over to the booth to find Invidia happily sipping on a fruity-looking cocktail. As soon as she spots me she lets out an excited shriek, hurrying to finish the sip of her drink while simultaneously placing her cocktail on the table.“You made it!” she cheers, leaping from her seat and rushing over to pull me into a hug that I eagerly return.“Of course, I did!” I giggle.The two of us are bouncing with excitement, squeezing each other tight as we sway from side to side like two twenty-something-year-old best friends who haven’t seen each other in two days but it feels like years. I’ve never had this before, this kind of friendship. Someone who just wants to spend time with me because they enjoy my company and are so genuinely thrilled to see me. It’s infectious and I

    I immediately begin choking on my drink and have to put it down to catch my breath. I stare wide-eyed, the implication of her words leaving a nasty taste in my mouth. She patiently waits, her dark eyes watching me with innocent curiosity. I swear that expression teamed with her question reminds me so much of Ayawamat. That’s the kind of thing he would say and look just as innocent while saying it.“We are by no means brother and sister,” I correct, coughing to clear the rasp in my voice. “Yes, Jartre made us both, but not in the same way. I mean, he’s a God and I’m not. Jartre used his ability that allows him to tear through the fabric of the universe to tear away his own malice, but it was so powerful and ultimately still a fundamental part of his being, so it ended up manifesting in the form of Azadou,” I explain.“Right… Okay, so then, wouldn’t that kind of make Azadou his twin? If he’s like the evil version of your dad, doesn’t that make him like your uncle?” she continues looking

    Walking up the stairs to my bedroom I still can’t wipe the smile off my face. It wasn’t until tonight that I realised that most – if not all – of my friendships are based around duty and necessity. Spending time with Invidia I see what a real friendship should be like; fun, relaxing and somewhere to turn when you’re at your lowest. Having a few drinks and dancing the night away was exactly what I needed to distract myself from everything going on in my life.As I reach the top of the stairs I freeze in place, the mild spinning of my inebriated mind suddenly being hit with clarity as I feel a blanket of coldness covering the third floor. My eyes focus on my closed bedroom door as I try to envision what – or more accurately who – I will find on the other side. For a second, I consider turning around and trying to sneak out of the house, but I quickly dismiss the cowardly thought. Between the two of us, that’s his style, not mine.I take a deep breath, steel myself, and walk towards my d

    He yanks me with more force than he needs, pulling me down across his knees. A woosh of air leaves my lungs and an ache spreads through my torso as my body connects with his granite-like thighs. I drop my nightshirt in an attempt to brace myself and whip my head around to stare at him in shock.“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?!” I demand as I start to get up.He leisurely pushes me back down and lays his forearm on my back, pressing down with minute force, sending fire radiating through my spine.“You’re going to do everything I command,” he declares in an eerily calm, though still deep voice.“Last I checked, hell hadn’t frozen over,” I snap defiantly, trying with all my strength to get off his lap only to realise my efforts are futile. He’s only using a minuscule amount of his strength to keep me pinned, but it’s enough to make his body weight feel like a giant boulder on my back.His hand begins to caress my backside, the tight fabric of my dress doing little to dull the s

    Azadou rises from the bed, pushing his sweatpants down and stepping out of them as his rock-hard, 13-inch cock springs free like a deadly projectile, forcing me to lean away. I stare at his inhumanly large girth twitching in front of my face as a bead of pre-cum drips from the tip. I’ve never actually seen his cock before. I’ve felt it and from that, knew it was big…but I wasn’t prepared for this. He couldn’t have fit all that inside me, he just couldn’t have! The tip is smaller and pointed but the rest of him is just thick, meaty flesh. To think I’ve had this monster inside me is almost terrifying…Azadou grabs hold of my Dutch braids and fists them in his hand, holding my head in place. If he were anyone else, I wouldn’t have let him get close enough to touch my hair but he’s my animai, him touching my hair feels right, even in this capacity.He fists his cock in his free hand and brushes the tip of his cock against my lips, the bead of pre-cum coating my lips.“Open your mouth,” he

    The sleep begins to lift from my mind, followed by heat burning through my body. The heat is so intense that through the delirium of sleep, I feel as though someone has doused my body in gasoline and set me ablaze. I force my eyes open and suddenly become aware of the dry ache in my throat but that is quickly forgotten when I register the large muscular arm draped over me.I freeze in place, my heart breaking into a sprint while the sound of it floods my ears. I take a slow breath through my nose and register the unmistakable scent of burnt-down ash after a long fire, its coldness tantalising my senses as it engulfs me. Ever so slowly I turn my head, glancing behind me only for my heart to become lodged in my throat. Laying behind me looking rested and peaceful in a way I never even thought he could is Azadou. His blacker than darkness hair splayed out on my pillow as his shoulders slowly rise and fall to the rhythm of his breathing.I dreamed of waking up like this since the day our

    Alertness returns to my mind, and I immediately wish it hadn’t. Before I open my eyes I become aware of agonising pain, radiating through my entire body. Slowly, I force myself to sit up, biting my lips together as tears spring to my eyes. I bite back the groans of pain as I manage to get my body upright, only to look around my room and see that I’m completely alone.Shame and despair begin to drown me from the inside when the realisation that my own animai has once again used me and abandoned me and that I allowed him to do it. I look down at my body and choke out a sob when I see the state of myself. I cover my mouth as tears stream from my eyes, barely obscuring the sight of my marred flesh. Dark bruises litter my thighs and hips and the pain coursing through my body is beyond excruciating. Bile rises up my throat when I see the cum sticking between my thighs which quickly forces me to look away.I throw myself out of bed, only to fall to the floor with a painful thud that brings o

    “Azadou, it doesn’t have to be like this.”I clutch the tumbler in my hand, reducing the glass to powder in my palm as I attempt to dispel those words from my mind. Everything about that creature has been a plague on my senses, yet it's those words above all that cling to my thoughts like gum stuck under one’s shoe. Is it the words themselves, or the pleading tone her voice took when she uttered them? As each syllable echoes through my ears, I recall the look in her prismatic eyes as she spoke them. In their colourful depths, I saw hatred. It’s a look I’ve grown accustomed to seeing in the faces of those who gaze upon me and one I have come to expect. Until this morning, she had never looked at me that way.I sought to break her, to make her beg me for rejection, but never once did the thought cross her mind, not even as hate swam in her eyes did it occur to her. There was something else in her eyes; an unfamiliar emotion I could not place and though I cannot name it, the thought of i

    As if the growing void sucking the life from my fatigued body wasn’t bad enough, I get to add crippling guilt to my list of woes. Every day Ayawamat is at my side, tending to me and trying to uplift me. Instead of living, he’s wasting his time watching me waste away. Every second that passes, I try to fight off the emptiness. I try to cling to the broken shards of my shattered essram hoping I’m strong enough to survive this. If not for me, then for my brother. If I die…he’d be all alone. That thought pains me almost as much as the aftermath of rejection.There are moments where I feel myself being sucked into oblivion, the frigid nothingness taking hold and refusing to let go, and just I find myself surrendering to it, I feel this charge from deep within. I can’t explain it, but it's like an electric paddle to the soul. It doesn’t last, but when it strikes; for the briefest moment I feel the warrior in me resurge, her voice strong and commanding, telling me not to give up and that I c

  • A Queen Among Tempests   Finally Pt 1 - Ayawamat

    I’ve lived fifty per cent of my entire existence in the body of a human, with all of the weaknesses that come with it, but this is the first time I’ve ever felt helpless.It’s been almost a week and there has barely been any improvement in Orenda’s condition. I’d say she’s clinging to life, but that would imply she’s trying and I’m not so sure that she is. Every day I tend to her. I brush her hair, keep her company, and I try to keep her fed. Soups and broths are the only thing she can get down, but at least it’s something. She speaks the occasional word every now and then, but they take so much out of her that I encourage her not to speak and keep her strength. She’s able to communicate much better telepathically, so she mostly responds that way. While I miss hearing the sound of her voice, I’ll take any form of communication she can manage; it’s a sign she’s still with me and hasn’t given up yet.I put the empty bowl of broth down on her nightstand and gingerly dab some of the beefy

  • A Queen Among Tempests   The Gift of Peace - Azadou

    A thunderous, harrowing roar bursts from my lungs as I throw my right hand out like the strike of a hammer, an intense bolt of purple lightning discharging from my hand and striking through the interior of my home, obliterating everything in its path. I stare at the resulting destruction, my chest heaving and sweat forming on my skin as I remain unburdened from the cataclysmic agony tearing its way through me. I pant, my lungs feeling constricted as if air cannot reach them as a current of purple electricity moves across my flesh. With a strained roar, I throw out my left hand, hurling another bolt of purple lightning through my interior, watching it obliterate everything it touches, but still, I feel no better.Feeling drained, I collapse against the banister, the flimsy material breaking under my weight and making me fall to the floor. I move onto all fours, my fingers tearing through the floorboards like butter as the wood triturates in my palms as I clench my fists. Every cell in

    “Is she…” I trail off, my voice trembling as I fear his answer.“She’s alive. For now,” he answers gravely, freeing my heart from the dread that was strangling it.Jartre sniffs the air, his nostrils flaring and his silver eyes narrowing. In a second, all of Orenda’s bedding is replaced, and her dress is replaced by cosy sleepwear as she’s bundled up under a thick blanket that Jartre tenderly tucks around her. I walk over, my eyes burning from unshed tears as I carefully sit on the edge of the bed. I reach out and softly caress the top of her head, my heart lodging itself in my throat as I feel how cold she is to the touch.“What’s wrong with her?” I ask, my voice a strangled mix of anger and sorrow.Jartre stands up straight, looking down at Orenda with a guilty expression. “She rejected him.”My eyes widen in disbelief. I know I’d made those stupid remarks about rejection, but I never meant them. I know the ramifications of rejection. I only said those stupid things out of frustrati

    I was wrong.I’ve always said that to encounter the eyti is to experience true purgatory, but I was wrong. I now realise that the eyti are more than just shadows of the humans they once were. They are not the epitome of purgatory; they are merely shadows of it. I believed the haunting, empty coldness they leave in their wake was the worst kind of emptiness a person could feel, but as I lay here on the jagged rocks – my essram shattered into infinite pieces as my body barely clings to life – I realise that this is true emptiness.Pain and exhaustion circulate through my body on an unrelenting loop, my eyes too tired to remain open. The devastating feelings of despair and loneliness are so consuming they have erased every happy memory from my mind. I can’t even remember the sensation of happiness, to the point that as I lay here, feeling the life draining from me, I begin to question if it ever existed, or if I imagined it.As the darkness begins to take over, a sudden jolt of electrici

    At my words, his mask slips and instead of indifference I now see rage and hatred as clear on his face as it is through our bond.“You blame me for the chaos in the world, but chaos reigned long before me and will continue to exist long after me. Chaos is the very nature of humanity. I didn’t create it, I’m merely pulling back the curtain on it,” he declares, stretching his arms out wide, grandstanding at the terror around him.Tears of anger well in my eyes as disgust burns in my stomach. “From the moment you came into this world, malice has filled your every being and here you are spreading it like a virus and boasting about it as if it were a badge of honour to be worn proudly,” I condemn sorrowfully.In an instant, Azadou is towering over me, his eyes ablaze with fury. “I DIDN’T ASK TO BE CREATED! I was born of your creator’s darkness and hatred because he was too weak and cowardly to face it. You look at me with disgust for being what I was made to be by the very God you call Fat

    As if the universe is trying to emphasise Ayawamat’s words, a burst of pressure hits me in the torso, knocking the wind from my lungs and making me clutch the kitchen counter to keep myself in place.“Orenda?” Ayawamat frets, grasping my shoulders, his brows raised with worry.I blink in confusion, placing my hand over my chest as I collect my bearings, trying to figure out what the hell I just felt when I suddenly feel deep and overwhelming rage rising up like a violent tempest inside me.“Azadou…” I whisper.“Now what’s the fucker done?” Ayawamat seethes through gritted teeth.“I don’t know,” I murmur in confusion as I stand up. “Something is wrong…I can feel so much rage,” I quaver, rubbing my chest as if to soothe the emotions intensifying from within me despite our bond not being completed.“Isn’t that him on a normal day?” Ayawamat quips mildly.I shake my head in disagreement, “Not like this. I have to find him,” I declare, marching towards the front door.“Orenda, wait!” Ayawa

    “Are you okay? You’ve barely even touched your ramen,” Ayawamat points out with a concerned lilt to his voice.I shrug, absentmindedly pushing the ingredients around with my chopsticks. “I guess I’m not that hungry.”Ayawamat slides the bowl away from me and takes my hands in his, turning me gently on my stool to face him. I manage to look at him, but the worry and compassion etched deep into his face has my heart clenching painfully in my chest and tears burning behind my eyes.“Did Azadou say or do something? I’m not judging, I swear. I just know that he was here and now…Orenda, I’ve never seen you like this and it’s honestly scaring the fuck out of me,” he explains, his voice cracking from his concern.That did it.I squeeze his hands tight as the tears break through and fall from my eyes. I throw my arms around his broad shoulders and bury my face in his neck as sobs wrack my body and I struggle to breathe air into my lungs. I thought all the crying I did in the shower was enough,

    I rise to my feet, my nostrils flaring as I hold my arms out, reading myself to try again. With lightning speed, Jartre is in front of me, his hands fisting my shirt as his eyes glow silver and bright, his jaw etched in tension.“Dammit, Azadou, stop this! It doesn’t matter what you do or what you throw at me, I am not going to fight you!” he bellows in frustration.“Afraid you’ll go too far and kill us both?” I taunt with a cold smirk.Jartre’s mouth curls in disgust as he throws me to the side, dropping me on my ass like an annoying bug.“When are you going to get it? If the only thing that came from our deaths was you finally finding peace, I would grant it to you in a heartbeat, but this isn’t about you or me. I’m not choosing not to hurt you because I’m scared for you or myself, I’m choosing not to hurt you because I refuse to cause Orenda any harm, especially the kind that could cost her her life!” he shouts, his words coated in turmoil.I sit up, resting my arms on my knees as
