Chapter: 108.******"You swim too fast, wait up!" Tide called to his excited friend. "Alexander!" He yelled using magic to swim faster and in the process crashing into the other laughing merman. "You know I have a duty to keep under the sea, why do you always pull me ashore like this," Tide asked as he pinned the other into the sands, their tails linked and lips nearly touching.The blue merman smiled, using his tail to knock the other off him before transforming his tail into legs. Tide watched in awe as he transformed into a human, just like the first time he had watched him transform before his eyes, he couldn't stop himself whenever he saw this, his reactions stayed the same. Alexander ran toward the rock he had hidden their changing clothes and grabbed them. After the first day before they returned to Aquarial, Alexander had asked that they hide the clothes there for next time and since then they only changed into those clothes. Tide shook his head at the memories as he watched
Chapter: 109.******"Naga!" Tide called to the Elder Merdragon who had just appeared out of thin air. Naga's wings were beating as he flew down towards the Tideian, his eyes shining brightly in a mixture of joy and curiosity. He landed in front of Tide, looking him directly in the eyes, Tide stilled and just stood there, allowing the Merdragon to finish with his Soul searching. And once the Merdragon was finished he shifted into a Merman and began swimming away to his abode, Tide was following closely.When they arrived at Naga's home, Tide took his time to look around the beautiful home of the Elder. He has magical furniture and millions of soulbutterflies floating around in glass confinement; their constant buzzing added a certain calming tone to the abode making it seem as though the Whispering Ghosts were within the walls of the Merdragon's home. There were shelves lining every wall each filled with different kinds of magic spell books and magical musical instruments, the Merdrag
Chapter: 110.******Alexander stood at the bedside glancing down at the still sleeping Tideian. His Soulpearl thumped loudly within his core; it felt as if it would burst right out from within. Until he woke up that morning he didn't know he had missed the merman this much and before he could stop himself he was swimming off and toward the direction of the Tideian's cave. He went in uninvited and now floating beside his bed and just looking down at him, he couldn't find himself doing more than just watching him sleep. He looked so peaceful and so maddingly alluring. He reached fin-laced fingers forward and before he could stop their movement they found Tide's face and caressed him slowly. Tide nestled into the warm caress and moaned softly into the stroking fingers, they filled him with so much warmth and excitement. Even asleep he knew it was his Half stroking his face. He smiled into Alexander's touch and nuzzled further into the hand. Alexander stifled a chuckle at his tender act
Chapter: 111.******The Mountain Tears Festival went by greatly and Tide couldn't be happier with Alexander closer to him now than before. He has even taken him before Neptune to show him off as the one who has won the Pearl of the Tideian's Soul and Neptune in turn gave his blessings. Now, Aquarial eagerly looked forward to their Soul Bonding ceremony and Alexander had assured him they shall soon have it. Time flew by fast and Tide waited patiently for his Lover to be ready for their lifetime commitment yet Alexander wouldn't give his consent. Something often seemed to draw him back, make him change his mind at the last minute, it was exhausting but not so much that it would anger Tide, he understood Alexander's fear, and he stood by him, waiting on him. All that mattered is that Alexander had returned his love now if he doesn't want to perform the Soul Bonding then so be it. Tide would be there for him no matter what. A certain uprising rose amongst the Human and the Seas. At first
Chapter: 112.******Both Mers went into the Underwaters, there just like Naga said they came across a Crystal. Nexie cloaked Tide with her magic and he approached the Crystal quickly, after a few broken fins he succeeded in killing it, with his sword he cut the Crystal's chest and pulled out its heart, the Ocean Heart, it was the second time he would behold such beauty, like the brightest, biggest precious stone, it glowed in his hands, carefully he handed it over to Nexie then returned to properly bury the Crystal not without thanking her for her gift and for helping him save his lover. Both Mers then returned to the home of the Merdragon. Naga upon seeing the Ocean Heart could not express his joy another way, he quickly took it from Nexie and laughed so loudly it had the Mers laughing along with him. "Besides the Great Halls of Aquarial, I alone will have the honor of owning one of these in my own Home." He boasted to them and then began casting a spell for a crystal orb where he
Chapter: 113.******Tide didn't know what to do at this point. None of these solutions favored him in any way. Should he just let him sleep? But, then wouldn't that mean when he reincarnates he will remain as he is now, alone and miserable? What fate is this? His eyes wandered to the DragonRock and he watched the steady beating of the SoulPearl, a smile crossed his face as he remembered the day he had woken up to find him by his bedside, caressing his face, they had shared a kiss and a bond. He will bring him back no matter what and even if he doesn't love him in the end, at least he would have given him a chance at living a happy life, maybe one where he will explore all the beauties of that World he loved so much and maybe find love one that he would bask in for as long as his human life shall live. "It is the price you should be willing to make, Tideian, remember, love planted with magic weakens with its magic and fades in time so I can not make him fall in love with you even if
Chapter: 114.******PRESENT DAY.******Easton, who was coming out of the elevator for the millionth time in the last hour, was more than pissed and worried that Alexander was nowhere to be found and so was Falcon. He was sure he came into the office that morning and in fact, was present at the meeting but now it was more than annoying that he couldn't find the man or his best friend. It wasn't in Xander's character to just leave without doing as little as informing him; it made it all the more worrying for the man. No one seems to have seen them leave the company either, which was weird since April had informed him that neither of them was in Falcon's office. After waiting for another hour he decided it was best he went up there and looked for himself. Now, he's confirmed that Alexander had vanished from Falcon. Insisting that April opened the doors for him he noticed the discarded clothes on the floor, the cuffs and a few other toys, the office was in a wicked state, with files and
Chapter: 115.******Once in the parking lot of Falcon, Easton stood and waited while a car drove in front of him. One of the men pulled the car door open and ushered him in. Easton observed the chauffeur first before he went into the car and sat. The soft leather felt so good he nearly moaned, it was after the man in suit had shut the door had he realized they weren't coming with. He didn't speak to the chauffeur, as the man wound down the glass separating them so that he could communicate with him if he wanted to. Easton would say he appreciated that but he didn't see what they needed to talk about so he simply ignored him and relaxed further into the seat a short while later the chauffeur pulled the window back up giving the man his privacy.The drive took longer than Easton had thought it would. They have driven far off the city and headed deep into the countryside. It was not as dense, but the land was a mix of green, grassy fields and rolling hills that were dotted with patches
