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.

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

    Arethusa could not understand why her pair cared what others thought so much.She had stopped caring ever since the day she left Atlantis, turning her back away from her path partner and the essence of the sea. There was one being that she cared about still and could not cut ties with.Her daughter was the one person that she could not let go of.She was trapped in her own world of thoughts today. Her pair was getting concerned for her. It was not like her to be this quiet, he was desperate to console her."Sigh…I know you have brought me something with you, will you not uncover it for me?"Yes, she brought him another gift."I brought you something that will show you what I love most in this world."He eyed the thing; it was the length of one of his hands.'At least it is not a building this time.'"You gave me enough already; I do not understand…"He felt her hurt through the bond and immediately got annoyed with both, himself for hurting her, and his pair for being ever so unreason

    For many reasons, some known to him and others remaining completely undiscovered territory, Nereus was agitated lately.His uneasiness was the culprit behind the fact that sea waves were fluttering and clashing continuously at the surface. He was unable to shake the sinister feelings away, and so, he kept an eye on his Amal at all times.If there was such a thing for sea folks, he would be worried sick with his restlessness. and Amalthea? Well, she was surely enjoying it.'She still craves attention, at least that much has not changed.' Nereus thought to himself.While he was analyzing his betrothed, she was still deeply immersed in politics. She touched his face, and he immediately gave her his undivided attention, their dark eyes danced with one another. His were hungry to touch her while hers were urgent."You know mother better than I do…" she implied.Her betrothed did not comment on that. It was one of these topics that he avoided, not because Arethusa still meant something to h

There was something even worse than that.He refused to meet with his only daughter, the one he adored so much.Nereus knew that his Amal was hurting deeply for what came over her father, had he not sunk this deep after his wife's betrayal, would she have bothered going to such lengths and planning an intervention that could change the face of the mortal world?Amalthea knew what Nereus never told her, she knew he wondered whether things would be different had he prevented the destruction of Atlantis instead of racing to her that day.He was not the only essence that rac

    "HAHAHA! he was feeling guilty…"The laugh the woman let out was one of hysteria, but the baby in Amalthea's hand was sound asleep. Someone else was alerted at the hideous sound. Amalthea felt the lover's magnetic field approaching.She loathed the man and loathed the fact that his field was slightly attractive even to her.She planned on staying away from him. Her mission here was accomplished anyway.'Finding the real father of the child will have to wait for now.'"HAHAHA!""HAHAHA!"Amalthea placed the baby in the crib and turned around to look at the woman who was obviously having a mental breakdown. She decided it was too dangerous for her to leave the boy alone, so she stayed in the room until her mother's lover came running in."WHAT'S THE MATTER WHAT ARE YOU DOING?""AHAHA.. SO YOU WERE CHEATING TOO?!"The man looked through Amalthea, his eyes not seeing her, he ignored his wife's question and ran toward the baby he thought to be his."STOP HIM DO NOT LET HIM TOUCH MY BABY!

    There was one thing left for the couple to do. Nereus caressed the white hair of the female he adored so much. She had the silkiest texture to it, and he took a long moment to admire that, as well as the smooth pattern and general state of her hair, with regards to how it looks and feels. Her hair was one of his most precious possessions. "Will you switch your inner energy with me?"Amalthea was suddenly concerned for him."Are you sure you can handle it?"She was much stronger than Nereus."I will try to, even if it would be the end of me."That was not the answer she wanted to hear. Not now and not ever, her betrothed was too important."Are we having our first argument as path partners then?""No, you are technically still my betrothed. Now let me into you, my queen. Surrender your control to me."He placed his lips on hers as he laid her above a bed of water inside the sea that floated in the sky, his energy was lucid and warm, humming inside of him, impatient to fill his female

    The love Amalthea and her path partner shared resonated all around them.The warmth that filled the sky reached the sea, corral leaves blossomed, the life that was about to turn into different energy had a boost that prevented the transformation, and eggs that still had time before they matured were ready and healthy.When they got down, the general was there waiting for them to descend from the sky. He could have never imagined what had happened for the essence to leave his position in the sea and leave his general without any explanations or prior notice, but the moment he saw the couple, he immediately understood what had happened between them.The general who was loyal to Nereus and the female he had chosen to spend eternity with felt heavily conflicted with emotions, he did not know whether to laugh or to cry.“Your Holinesses, my heartfelt congratulations could not have come in a worse timing.” The general’s voice was grave, and the look on his face was even graver.Amalthea and

    “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.

    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

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 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.
