Hylas slept for a long time after completely pouring his heart and soul into his pair, everything he gave out to Amalthea charged her, while his strength slipped away slowly but surely, she was only more energized by the time sleep took over him. She stayed awake, looking at him.He was a different man while he slept so soundly, his precious body that took her to places she had never been to before relaxed completely, he breathed deeply, not minding that he was naked under the bed covers. Amalthea had pulled those over him once she felt his skin cooling down, it happened a while after they stopped with all their lovemaking. The thought made her both happy and sad.'Nothing lasts forever.'Startled by the sorrowful thought that bit on her inner energy, she decided to occupy herself with memorizing his every detail, knowing how humans changed shapes often and grew day in and day out.'Will the change I caused in him slow his rapid aging?'She could not bring herself to hope so. It was t
It was a fateful afternoon when the following events took place on Men's Island.Alexander, who was the last to hear of the initiating order, had taken Anna and her father with him to the drilling rig where he knew his cousin would be heading soon. Anna was giving him a hard time. Not trusting him in the slightest degree."What is all this suddenly, and what was that about the heiress.""For the third time woman, I mean nymph... all of you are in serious danger right now and we can only prevent that by stopping the lunatic from giving the green light at the sight!""…What makes you so sure the president will listen to us, counselor…" Anna's father asked."You are the only one who can make him stop this madness!""…A lowly cook like myself, you overestimate me.""No, you underestimate how much you mean to my cousin, he probably forgot that Anna was a part of all this, I know him better than the fool knows himself, he is as cunning as the devil, but he always misses the big picture, he
The president realized something too late, he never had control over her.'Lies and tricks as of the first fu*king minute.'The female he worshiped in his bed the night before, the one he swore to hate then made love to so tenderly, stood there gazing at the drilling rig, assessing its structure like a soldier. Not a regular soldier.'She holds the highest rankings in the opposing forces.'He knew she saw his engineer standing by, looking at his president, albeit waiting for the green light. He felt her decision before she even turned his way and looked at him, his female was no more, and the being in front of the drilling rig was the representative of a regime he wanted to take down by all means necessary.When her dark dark eyes met his, the light inside of them was gone, they looked dull, turning her beautiful doll-like features beneath her coal-black hair into other unknown ones. One thing was written all over her face.'She will not stop until my plan is ruined.'All the memories
The following events took place exactly ten centuries ago."Tell me more about Atlantis, Arethusa!"A beautiful woman with long red hair and big blue eyes sat next to her friend. The woman looked was in her early thirties, the other female's age was a mystery, she never aged a day since the woman met her fifteen years ago. They were at their usual place over the smooth rock by the seashore."You ask this every time! It is really the same as Human's Island, only located deep under the sea!"The woman did not look satisfied. So, her friend put more heart into the explanation."It is the most alluring part in the marine world, much bigger than Human's Island, the exhibit to all worldly pleasures and a place full of treasures, it is as enigmatic as it is inviting.""If only I could see it with my own eyes, tell me more about how you rule such an amazing place!"Having been the first lady to Human's Island, the beautiful woman was always full of questions about politics."Three main royal

She told her pair everything that night. Or at least, most of it.He listened, giving her his full attention, and not interrupting to ask the many questions he must have had, not even once.'My pair has a high level of emotional intelligence.'She explained to him about things men did not know existed around them, and he never once doubted her. She felt his unconditional trust in all that she told him seeping through the pair's bond. She marveled at his lack of doubt when she knew how a human's mind was narrow that way, their subconscious and true instincts were one with the nature around them, but their logic tended to deny things their eyes could not see, like other spiritualities. And so those steered away from them.She did not tell him everything at once.The love they shared and the bond that formed between them helped the heiress to be frank with him about the hidden secrets of the universe. But there were some safety laws that neither sea folks nor nymphs could easily break, a
After many a lifetime and an astonishing outcome to their union, Arethusa thought she had her path partner all figured out by now, but she clearly had not. When Cetus detected the exchange of life forces on her, he went mad with jealousy. "ARETHUSA! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Cetus, the next in line to take over the throne of Atlantis for this century, was causing an earthquake in the depths of the sea. "Cetus, you have got to listen to me! He is my pair! The one nature chose for me!" "YOUR PAIR! A MAN THAT WALKS THE DRY LAND? DO YOU TAKE ME FOR A FOOL! I AM YOUR ONLY PATH PARTNER!" "Of course, you are! … do you think I would have it any other way? Do you think I can exist in an eternity without you?" "YOU GO UP TO MEET YOUR FRIEND AND GO DOWN TAINTED WITH ANOTHER MALE'S SHI* AND THEN YOU PREACH TO ME ABOUT EXISTING IN AN ETERNITY WITHOUT ME!" He was not listening to her, and if she did not find a way to stop him, Atlantis was going to fall apart over their heads. She wished Nereus wa
Exactly one mortal year later after the day when Cetus ruined Atlantis once and for all. Arethusa sat down in the presidential office inside the colosseum, she was having a less than pleasant conversation with her pair."Are you going to sleep here tonight?" she asked him, but she was already aware of the answer."…No."She knew he felt the pang she felt through the bond, so she quickly had to disguise her feelings of hurt as ones of excitement."Oh? That is wonderful news! so you will sleep on Nymph's Island with me then?"Arethusa had moved out of the sea into an island not too far from her pair's island. She spent a lot of time with her pair there, where no other human could see.It was the best year of her entire existence, she would not have traded it for the entire world.Arethusa already knew that her pair was trying to fix things with his wife, he planned on sleeping in his castle tonight in an attempt to win his wife's favor.Arethusa kept the president under the illusion tha
“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
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
“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
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
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
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
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
