>>MayaWhen I reached Quincy’s house it was late and Nena had already gone to sleep. Quincy was up and received me.I decided to sleep next to Nena and talk to her in the morning.Slowly and quietly I entered her room. She was sleeping like a baby on the queen sized bed that was clearly too big for her. I sighed softly.Well, at least Quincy gives her all she needs. Actually, scratch that, he gives her way more than she needs.It made me smile and I walked to the bed.It was a reassurance that leaving Nena with Quincy was the best choice. She was already attached to him and I knew he would take great care of her, just like he always has.I climbed on the bed and quietly slipped in the covers, making sure she wouldn’t wake up.Then silently and sealthyly I slipped my arms around my little world, my purest love and brought her in my embrace.It felt nice, holding her like this, it felt really really nice.I kissed her forehead.“Nena,” I whispered, “My little world, my purest love,” I s
>>MayaI went back home, Yohan was already waiting for me even though it was way past midnight.He smiled as he looked at me and I smiled back at him but deep down we both were just hiding the pain.We both knew that and still played along with it.“Do you want anything special to eat in the morning?” He asked.“I feel like I can’t eat anything heavy anymore.” I could barely eat anything with Nena. I practically forced myself to show her I was fine, “So, just something light maybe…” I walked over to the couch he was sitting on and sat down next to him and rested my head on his shoulder.“Did you have a satisfactory conversation with Ruda and Nena?” He leaned his head over mine.I nodded, “Yea,” I smiled, “I’m satisfied.”“I see,” He held my hand, “That’s good then.”And just like that time continued to pass, although I barely felt any physical pain, I got weaker by the day.Yohan spent most of his time at home with me. He brought all his work home and only visited the office when it wa
>>YohanI placed my hand on her cheek while hers was already on mine.In the quiet night where you could hear the far away sounds of cars passing by, where the world slept innocently, unaware that someone was hurting so much because of fate, the two people in love, broken and scarred, brought their lips closer together and joined them in a soft, meaningful final kiss.I felt her smile between the kiss and I smiled back. Then her hand slipped and fell by her side as we parted our lipsThat was the last of her touch I felt before she was gone. She had left me now and the immense amount of pain I was feeling could no longer be contained.And now that she had finally left me, I no longer had to keep myself from crying, I no longer had to put in all of my strength to keep myself at bay.I placed my hand on her cheek again and then saw droplets of water falling on her face.Drops that came from my eyes. Tears, I could no longer hold in. Everything inside of me had shattered. Just like a fr
>YohanYears have passed.So many seasons, so many generations, since I became the king of the Fae and yet I wait, I wait for the day promised to me.The day I’ll meet her.My mate.My eternal love.It was a usual day in the magic realm, I sat on the twenty inch thick tree branch that extended long enough to meet with the tree on the other side, thus making a small bridge in mid-air.Over the years my hair had grown quite long. They reach till my back now and when I look at myself in the mirror I can see how much I resemble my late mother.I had my eyes closed as I hummed a melody and some of the birds chipped in. The forest trees swayed gently along with the hums and created a soft breeze.I wondered how much more I would have to wait.I opened my eyes slowly to the blue sky.Milia, the witch, foretold that if I can endure a hundred years I’ll get what I want.A slow smirk appeared on my face.‘ If ’ she was right that is. I sighed internally and lowered my head to look straight in t
>> MayaI was taking a stroll in the artificial forest that was recently built by the government to calm my mind. I was worried about whether I should go to college this year or save up and go next year. I had to think a lot about it because there was so much I had to consider.I kept walking as I kept thinking and ended up in the deeper part of the forest without realizing it.It was only when I noticed that my surroundings were darker I snapped back to reality and looked around.Oh…I looked at the dark forest and realized I was at the part where there were many natural trees.“Wow,” I whispered.These trees look so much better than the other ones. Is it because they had a natural growth? They’re thicker and feel more alive.I turned my head and my gaze fell upon the most majestic tree out of all.An oak tree.It was the thickest and biggest one of all the trees in the forest and its branches were spreading horizontally.It looked really cool and out of place. It made me wonder some
>> YohanHer words tore my heart and I felt a sharp pang in my chest. The forest reacted and one could hear the sounds of forest woe.“W-What is that?” She looked around in panic.“You want to leave?” She looked back at me while I stared at her with a torn expression, “When you just came? After so many decades?”“…” She looked back at me with unreadable expressions. What was she thinking? She shook her head lightly and looked at the view behind me. Her eyes wandered at different points while her complexion got a bit pale.I held her hands in mine, “Are you not well?”She directed her gaze back at me and looked into my eyes, “I feel dizzy.” She spoke in a weak voice and then right the next moment she collapsed. Before she could fall to the ground I pulled her in my embrace and hugged her tightly.What just happened?I picked her up bridal style and turned around, then paused.I sighed as I looked at the crowd that was standing behind me, almost all the creatures of the forest were pre
>>MayaI slowly opened my eyes and found myself lying on something super soft. As my eyes adjusted and the vision became less blurry I found out I was lying on a bed.A bed?Where did a bed come from?I sat up and looked around the room. It was a place I had never seen before. The room was big, decorated with simple stuff and had a soft ambiance to it.The windows rattled and that startled me. I turned my head to look at the sliding window and saw that it was raining outside.I stood up and walked to the glass.‘Wow. It seems like a storm.’ I whispered to myself as I looked at the violently shaking trees and the heavy rain.I sighed and looked at the door on the other side of the room.Where am I? The lighting in the place was a bit dull.How did I end up here? In a place I don’t know anything about. I glanced back at the window to see outside and noticed how big the terrace was.What happened to me?I tried to remember when a sharp pain entered my brain.AH!I remembered the long hai
>> YohanI triedI really tried but my emotions got out of control and now it’s raining. The forest is crying due to the pain I’m feeling and I have no idea what to do.I’m just standing here getting drenched because I really have no idea what I’m supposed to do in this situation. I’ve spent decades as a ruler and come across countless unique situations and solved them all this, I sighed, I have no hold over.I walked out of the room where Maya was sleeping because I was afraid I might do something I shouldn’t.I was afraid I would do something wrong and then lose her forever.Moreover, I was hurt by her words and looking at her or even staying in the same space where I could see her was giving me pain.I was in anguish, so I left and walked out and came to the terrace in order to think straight and sort some things out but I only made a mess of my heart and brought a storm upon the forest.I hope the creatures are doing okay.The forest has been so calm for so many years, they must
