******Meanwhile, while the men were reuniting their bonds, two little boys played outback.“What is it, Jason?” Helios asked the other boy who suddenly stopped running but rather stood as he glared at something that was laying on the grass. “Come look!” he called to the other.Helios reached him and he too was mesmerized by the jewelry that shone under the warm golden sun. “What is that?” Helios asked as he tried to pick it up.“Don’t touch it. We don't know where It's from or whom it belongs to!” the older boy scolded. “But, what is it?” Helios asked again. It was obvious the younger boy was curious.“I think it’s a diamond necklace,” Jason told him.“Like the one mommy wears?” “Yes!” Jason grabbed the other boy’s hands as he tried pulling him away from that, thing.He didn't like the looks of that jewelry and he hasn't seen anything like that before.Helios pulled his hands off Jason’s grip and ran over to the jewelry. He picked it up but quickly threw it back to the grounds wh

He hadfought to victory against all in the search of his lover.His soul left him the night he sought that beautiful body on his bed where he had laid the injured man but could not find him.His Kingdom was falling and he was failing as king and as ruler of the East Golden Gates.Nights after nights the King had fallen drunk in unworthy places and had been carried into his chamber by guards or warriors.The Council of Elders had called several meetings to which the King gave no heed.Atlas, his wife, has been sending him words that did nothing but infuriate the King more.If only he would see him again.Even just for a few moments.A plea the King has never failed to wish for.************"My lord," Dylan called the s
Chapter:2"Damon."Damon stirred from sleep to find the beautiful face he had known since waking up in this dreaded place called'The Pits.'He had no memory of what his life was like before. Whenever he tried to remember, even just a little, his head would hurt so much that he would grab onto both sides of his head and scream to unconsciousness.Damon had long given up on trying to remember his past and had accepted his fate. He even stopped keeping track of time, but as days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Damon realized he has spent two years in The Pits since he woke up here.He had seen slaves being sold and more being bought. But no one had sold him, and neither does it look as though anyone would buy him.The only person he knew was Erin, whom he considered his friend. A beautiful slave, who looked about his age, with golden locks that reminded him of something or someone, another memory he could not recall.It was a miracle that he still remembered his name, although
Chapter:3"Mother!"The beautiful princess barged into the big meeting hall startling everyone gathered and seated before the Queen, even the guards turned their heads in the direction of the princess.Zara has been the spoilt princess that she is and didn't even bother with the fact that she has walked in on an important meeting, rather she walked straight to where her mother was and stood before the queen, both hands on her curved hips."Could this not wait, princess Zara?!" Queen Atlas smiled down at her daughter."No mother!" The girl yelled."Alright my darling, take a walk with me." The Queen laughed as she walked out of the hall with a much happier princess not far behind."My Queen, shouldn't we conclude before you leave?!" One of the Elders spoke."I will send my mother in to conclude with you all, I can not keep my daughter waiting!" The Queen yelled back and disappeared.**********Queen Atlas has always been known for not caring about other people, she became worst since
Chapter:4Athesmos has not been a happy man since the night he saw Xrysos. What infuriates him to no end was the way and manner he held that boy in his arms, the look in his eyes seeing that the boy was hurt and perhaps dying.How he wished the boy had died that day.Athesmos left the man and his lover when he realized just how broken and how much Xrysos loved the boy in his arms.He felt betrayed.He had lost it all.But being who he is, he will never give up, not after Xrysos came destroying his Castle, killing almost all his men, and for what? All because Xrysos thought he was responsible for the missing boy.Truth be told. Athesmos is more than glad that the boy had gone missing, although he hates seeing Xrysos suffer yet it brings great satisfaction to his soul knowing that Xrysos was alone and lonely yet again.This is his curse.To be lonely.To never find love or be loved.And since Athesmos could never have any of those things, he would make sure Xrysos stays miserable and do
Chapter: 5.*****The beautiful boy gently stepped out of the baths. His skin dripping with water as droplets made his skin glow as if it were diamonds. He walked towards the bed in hopes to pick up the towel that had mysteriously managed to leave the bathroom and was now lying on the bed instead.Once Anas reached the huge bed, he sat down and took the towel. He crossed one leg over the other and was about to clean the water from his wet leg when he heard him."Don't." The towel fell from his grasp and his eyes sought the voice. A beautiful smile fell off his lips the moment his lover came out from behind the curtains. "So that's what happened to my towel." The smile soon disappeared when he realized that the older man was completely nude.This is it.His insides knotted as excitement builds from within him, almost driving the younger boy to tears.His Roman.******It took his oldest brother Dominic two months to convince their father to at least let him be in the same cell room
Chapter: 6.*****Gouria had been with the King since the morning he visited the man. He could not find it in his heart to leave Xrysos, especially in the condition he found the man. Xrysos never drank, but now he drinks and drinks until he has completely lost his senses. He would just sit there on his throne, eyes peering into oblivion and mind wandering. ***********The King saw the beautiful man standing before him with an expression that held nothing but pity towards him. Xrysos stood up to go welcome the younger man.Gouria fell into his embrace the moment Xrysos reached him. Xrysos crushed the man in his strong chest and held him tightly, so protectively as if the man would vanish into thin air."Beautiful Ria," Xrysos breathed into the man's shiny hair. Then very gently he raised Gouria's face and they stared into each other's eyes. Dark blue eyes burn into Gouria's special ones. "You remind me so much of him Ria," the king whispered and Gouria fought a battle to stand pro
Chapter: 7.****The previous night had been one Anas would never forget. His lover had taken his innocence and left him wanting and so very needy all nights long that each time Roman reached his release, Anas would let him rest for a while before he woke the man up again and had him between his thighs giving him with passion what he desperately craved.Anas just could not understand how he had lived so many years without having to feel what he felt right now.Roman made love to his brother with pure lusty abandon, thrusting into him ever so gently and the boy moaning his pleasure was a drive for him to give his young lover what he craves.Just as they both reached their orgasm together, one growled loudly, and the other made sweet little moaning sounds which escaped the beautiful red lips.Roman sealed their lips in a deep kiss, his spent member still buried inside the warmness of his young lover."Brothers look! Our innocent little Anas isn't so innocent anymore!" Linus yelled in hi

Chapter 19.*****Behind each closed door, moans of men could be heard.Anas's eyes shut tightly as his lover pushed his hardened flesh inside of him. The boy moaned, his fingernails digging into his lover's back drawing blood in their wake.Roman growled as he resumed a steady thrust into his sweet heaven.Soon he picked up the pace as his lover had requested and was hitting home again and again. The younger boy moaned loudly as tears rolled down his eyes. He was reaching his orgasm and he could feel his lover's stiffed member throbbing deep inside him."Hmmm!" he cried out and spilled his seeds all over his naked stomach, his walls clenched tightly around Roman's member and the other shot his seeds deep inside his lover. Filling him up and then claiming his lips in a kiss."I love you," he whispered into Anas's ears. The boy already fasts asleep.*******Linus pulled at his long hair while his mouth hung open in a loud moan. Kairos always drove him crazy with his talented mouth.

CHAPTER 17.*****"I warned you to never tell a soul!" that bitter voice filled his head causing him to yowl in pain. Gouria forced his eyes open.He was tied up. Both hands above his head. He was surrounded by tick dark smokes. He pulled at the chains, but it was sealed tight."Let me go!" he yelled to no one in particular."Or what?!" "You do know I have a soulmate, and I have discovered the extent of what I can do!" Evil laughter filled the air painfully. "I know you have a soulmate and I also know that since he isn't here, there is a limit to what you can do." Gaad laughed again. "Didn't your mother teach you that?!" "It doesn't matter, because I can always pull him to me." "Is that so?" Gaad asked mockingly. "Then do it!" Gouria knew the man was with him. But he was hiding amidst dark smoke."Why don't you show yourself to me since you're quit certainly there is a limit to what I can do." Gouria knew he treads a dangerous part as he made that offer but he could not resist.T
Chapter 16.******Tears ran down the beautiful woman's face as she sat atop her throne. The empty throne room filled her mind and thoughts with dread. She feared for her life. Her future. The uncertainty of what would and would not be was too much she could not comprehend.Her plans kept failing.Just this morning her loyal informant had arrived with news that broke her heart beyond repairs.A sudden change in the atmosphere caught her eyes and when she looked up from her throne, he stood there. Glaring at her with that annoying calm expression.Does he not see that they fail in every way possible?How is he so calm when the winds of failure blow at them from all angles?“Sister!” his voice filled the air.“Tell me, cousin,” the Queen spoke softly. “Am I destined to fail?” her eyes wet with bitter tears.“I told you, again and again, you have nothing to fear!” “How so?!” she cried.“I have it all under control!” “You have nothing under control. Damon still lives and even worse he f
Chapter 15.******"I still can't believe we are doing this because of a dream!" Evander ruffled his hair.The Golden Palace stood right in front of them, glittering proudly in the warm sun."This is the most beautiful sight I have ever beheld in my entire life!" Erin Yelled with mouth wide open.Damon's head was in complete disarray as his memories hurt his brain.It was all coming back. But a little too much that it was starting to hurt his eyes making his vision blur.The pain was excruciating as it pushed the man to his knees.Damon grabbed both sides of his head and screamed.Evander and Erin rushed over to him and held the man as his body trembled and shook uncontrollably."What is wrong with him?" Evander asked worriedly."I have no idea!" "Has this happened before?" "No!" "Let's take him back home!" Evander carried the man in his arms. **********"He's here!" Gouria jumped away from the bed, startling Anderios."Who?!" Anderios asked as he ran after his lover."He's right
Chapter 14.****Anderios had been a sorrowful man the past few days. Nothing anyone did cheer the man up. Even his own soulmate could not get him to be happy. It was approaching that time of the year when he had lost his family. Although it's been years, still the man respects that day and never forgets it. A certain change in behavior always graced the man when it came to this time. One would think that after so many years, he would have passed this. It is never easy to let go of the ones we lost.Gouria had insisted that Elena request Anderios's presence that day. He believed that he been with a child might help console the man even just a little bit.So when a messenger had arrived with the news to fetch Anderios, he was more than delighted to watch him leave.What he did not expect was Anderios asking him to join.Together they had both reached the Golden palace and made their way to Xrysos throne room. There they had exchanged greetings and a few chatters with the King before
Chapter: 13**********“I have never been this hungry since I was abandoned as a child!” Erin complained.“You have been stealing from people's farms all day! How is it possible that you are still hungry?!” Damon’s mouth fell open in shock.“We have been stealing.” Erin corrected. “What we got to eat out of those farms is barely filling!” Erin glared daggers at him.“Don’t look at me like that,” Damon whispered.“What? Afraid that I might eat you?” Erin breathed out, his tongue licking at the bottom of his lips, while he eyed Damon as if he saw food where the man stood.It has been days they have been wandering about. They have no idea where they were going but had been walking and stealing a few bites of fruits every now and then. Falling asleep wherever they got tired and then continued on their endless journey when they had gathered enough strength to proceed.Luckily for them. No one had shown interest in them or had attempted to bother them. Although most they saw were harmless
Chapter 12.********Last three months they had all woken up to a warning bell that shook all within the great walls. Atlas and Athesmos have indeed brought the war to the Gates. Big mistake as Xrysos and all his fine warriors had battled and pushed them out and farther away from the city. The battle had been so bloody that they had all fought for days without rest.Men had died and more been sent until the enemies retreated out of cowardliness. They could not withstand the mighty Gates. Whoever convinced them that they would have indeed misled them all.Today they were celebrating their victory in conquering their enemies. Once again the Great Gates has won.“I bet next time they dared to attack us, they will think twice about it!” Aron yelled, obviously drunk.Dylan nods his head and throws his hand around Aron’s shoulder. “You are so very right my friend.” He smiled into the other's face.Xrysos drank with the rest of his men, all cheering loudly and making drunken jokes.It wa
