Amalthea was sleeping quietly in her chambers. The fire energy inside of her activated her human form’s energizing system.She slept every single night now.She has been here for a month now. And she could not have had a more peaceful stay. The fire essence made sure that her every single need was met before she even declared them. She had never felt this relaxed before.For the last one thousand years, Amalthea’s responsibilities were endless. She did not find rest in the sun’s harvest while she acted like an heiress to Paradise.Her consciousness worked without a pause, without a rest.But now that she chose to stay in the underground. The fire essence was spoiling her endlessly.He grew attached to her children as well. It was a surprise for both, Amalthea and the fire essence. The energy that the fire essence implemented inside of her womb got divided into two halves. The children both reacted the same way. They fully accepted the energy, embedding it into their own, changing its
Amalthea became heavy with the energies she carried. Her human form was telling her that it wasn’t going to be long now before she had both of the boys within her arms.Amalthea was starting to get worried.She could not help but be emotional. She had been carrying these energies within her for three mortal months now. They grew inside of her womb with her love and her care. She changed the path she was going to take for them and never regretted it. Each energy was a part of her. And though it was nature’s will that each energy would be sourced by a different father, Amalthea would not have had it any other way.Her children were perfect, just the way they were.“Haaah,”It was starting to become difficult for her to breathe in her human form, but her body was telling her that it was within the best interest of the children for her to stay in this form. And so she listened.The fire king knocked on her door.“Come in,”“Are you okay, my queen?”“…It will not be long now,”He nodded at
Amalthea emerged from the sea in a fire sphere. Her father and her path partner were carried by waves on either of her sides. The second the fire sphere touched the air, Amalthea’s wind surrounded her from all sides.Amalthea smiled, “I missed you too,” she said.“What a peculiar fellow,” the fire essence said.Amalthea knew what the fire king was talking about. She just did not agree with how immortals viewed her relationship with her air medium. It was true that she had never laid eyes on him, but that was just one of his charms. He had been loyal to her since the day she was born into this world, and she would not have it any other way.Once the wind from around them calmed down. Amalthea focused on the view that was in front of her. The Island was in one word, unrecognizable.The place that smelled of death and gave ominous vibes was thriving with the light that covered it from all around. But the source of the light was from within the island. There was a sense of undeniable harm
At first, no one understood what was happening.The immortal babies were so adorable with their round faces, red pouty lips, and their skin that was fair and soft to the touch. Everyone was absolutely enchanted by them. They took turns holding them and marveling at their beauty and innocence, they felt the warmth of their pure white energy and consequently vowed to protect them for all eternities. It was much deeper than anything the crowd had felt before. The type of loyalty that was demanded by these babies without them asking for it. It was surreal.Everyone who touched them felt exactly how precious they were. A blessing, a gift.Yesterday enemies stood unaware of each other, totally focused on the new arrivals. The immortals viewed them as nature’s miracle and the mortals viewed them as fate’s most glorious smiles.These children had brought a new era to the immortal and the mortal world alike.Hylas was a bit confused.He kept wondering about two things. How come he didn’t rec
Deep down in the underground, the fire essence ruled a realm that was considered the core of the earth. The immortal being was one of the first creations, which made him impossibly resourceful.The fire carried healing qualities as is, it disinfected, closed wounds, and it replaced abnormalities with scars of its own.Could the fire essence really heal Amalthea? And with the balance that the universe cherished and operated according to. What would be the exchange for that?To answer that question, the fire king needed to figure out what brought about the absence of her voice.“It is time for us to go back down, Amalthea,”“I will be going down with you, just until she settles down,” Arethusa gave the fire king a meaningful look. The fire essence looked at his queen. He was going to follow her lead on that one. If she did not want the presence of her mother with her underground, then he was not going to allow it.Amalthea simply nodded with her approval.Everyone was starting to notice
A Thousand years later.A pair later…A path partner later…Amalthea and Hephaestus were finally going to be together. She was already shivering, she wasn’t in his room yet and the long since suppressed tension between them was making a manifestation.She remembered clearly what had been discussed between them, she knew very well what he was about to do to her, and she knew very well why.This was about giving her her voice back, but would they succeed?Amalthea followed the fire king into his chambers. It wasn’t her first time in the room but she saw it with brand new eyes. The light that illuminated everything from within was dim, the bed that they were about to share was wide, and him…He was glowing blue. She stood there, mesmerized by his beauty all over again.“…” she was desperate to tell him that he was so beautiful.Amalthea knew that it was not the correct way to compliment a male but she simply could not help it, the honest words that never left her tongue were lost with he
“Mother,”“Amalthea, my precious!”Arethusa ran with sacred tears coming down from her eyes at the sight and the voice of her daughter. She held her as tight as she could.“I am so sorry for coming so late I wanted to go down immediately, and I kept waiting for a fire medium to come but they never did,” she threw a subtle accusation at the fire king.‘Some things never change’ Amalthea thought to herself as she looked at her mother’s anxious face. She knew that her mother loved her dearly, she most likely cherished her over everything else in the entire universe, but had her mother thought for a couple of seconds, or even paused to consider how Amalthea’s voice made a come back. She would have known that it was all due to the fire essence curing her.Her mother’s face finally registered her daughter's quiet complaints.“How… was he… did he manage to cure you?” She asked.When Arethusa heard her daughter’s voice that she lost the day before after immortal childbirth, she had high hopes
The immortal females sat in Amalthea’s chambers for the longest time that day.“Maybe we have thought about it too much that no ideas will come anymore,” Arethusa complained.It was an impossible criterion to abide by. Two adjectives that were the opposite of each other, yet they completed one another and they were both good!‘Honestly, she is asking for a bit too much if not asking for the impossible altogether!’ Arethusa thought to herself when she saw the stubborn look on her daughter’s face.‘She was always extremely persistent,’ Arethusa admired her daughter on the inside.Amalthea was always like this, in fact, it was the first characteristic that she exhibited during her month of maturity, when she wanted to do something, she followed through with it. Unlike the immortal children that knew by instinct that when you get to live an eternity, what did not happen now was bound to happen at a later date. “You were always unique, my darling,” Arethusa caressed her daughter’s long bl
“You ask for the impossible. I cannot be separated from you,” Nereus’s voice was grave. And he was lying bluntly. Amalthea felt him through and through within her core, she knew that he understood. It was just too difficult to let go of the dreams he had for their eternity. “It is what it is, Nereus. I did not choose the shape I was born into.” She was being hard on him because that was what he needed to hear from her right now. He wanted to feel differently about things, but he was filled with an immeasurable amount of acceptance of the fact that she has chosen not to stay in Atlantis with him. He looked at her for a long moment, “ Is this your doing?” She smiled knowingly at him. “Oh? What are you talking about?” Nereus sighed for long. Amalthea had become more than immortal, her physical shape testifies to that as well, and the fact that she was keeping it on her meant that she wanted everyone to respect the upgraded level that she had reached. How could he possibly stand aga
The underground which used to be a place of darkness and inward illumination made a complete transformation. It was not only about the sun that shone in the mornings and then mimicked the soft glow of the moon at night. It was the overflowing energy that came from the mansion of the fire essence where two immortal children were manifesting more extraordinary power with each passing mortal hour, nor their powerful mother that never left their side, it was the change that the fire king exhibited.His energy that was linked with every fire dependent creature within the fire realm was changing qualities, what used to be harsh and dry was now mellow, almost having a liquid quality to its flow.Every fire dependent creature within the fire realm knew that the king’s essence found the peace that he longed for since the beginning of time. And that peace was not only related to the female that his close and loyal subjects knew he had always cared for and loved. But also because of the newly fo
Phosphorus and Hesperus had been sleeping for four days.It was not natural for immortal children to sleep that extra mortal day.Amalthea and Arethusa stood anxiously by the crib of the immortal children. Both babies looked the size of a one-year-old human baby. Apart from the striking opposite hair color the babies had, their features were almost the same.“Beautiful,” Amalthea said as she brushed Phosphorus’s white hair away from his forehead. Then she brushed the back of her hand over Hesperus’s black hair.“Of course they are, they look exactly like you, darling,” Arethusa whispered.“But mother, why do they insist on sleeping for so long?” Amalthea asked her mother, starting to get more anxious by the mortal second now.“Worry not, my dear. Listen to your inner nymph, Amalthea. Do you not feel their overwhelming energy? How magnificently strong they both are? Can you not feel their potential and the amazing possibilities that pave their immortal way?” Arethusa could not get enou
