Under the sun of a mournful day, right by the surface of the sea, three of the most powerful beings were standing in the face of the most powerful being of them all.Amalthea, a direct descendant of the most powerful sea folk family, carrier of the sacred nymph blood on her mother’s side, a scholar that had roamed the world and the seven seas.She was wrapped up in a sinister cloud of pure darkness, she was everyone’s redemption today. The bringer of their end.If it wasn’t for the purest goodness inside of her heart, and if it wasn’t for the tiniest chance fate through the universe’s way, she would’ve never had the smoke removed from her eyes.But she did.It was their only chance now, they had to do something about it.“DAUGHTER, DO YOU NOT SEE ME? DO YOU NOT HEAR ME? KNOW THAT THIS MOTHER SHALL NEVER DRIVE YOU TO THIS STATE EVER AGAIN, YOU HAVE MY OATH FOR THAT! COME BACK TO ME!”Arethusa sobbed over and over again. While Amalthea stood there, a frozen monster of darkness, her eyes
Near the seashore of Men’s Island, right next to the ruins of what could have wielded the ocean’s gas into a weapon of mass destruction, The horror-stricken president, his counselor, and the rest of the president’s special squad stood motionless, they all felt eerie with the eyes on them, completely hidden away from them, they were being observed by the many sea folk soldiers and their General.Waiting for the order to kill.But that order never came through. Amalthea handled the whole situation so brilliantly that Nereus didn’t even have to lift a finger, and then they disappeared with the great Cetus back into the depths of the ocean back to the lost city of Atlantis.But the sea folk were thirsty for blood, they stood there observing, hoping, begging nature to receive an order from his holiness the sea essence.But something interesting was happening on the shore of the pathetic island that had dared hold her holiness captive. “CAPTURE HIM!” Alexander shouted. Anna was still
“Your… your…" Hylas took a deep breath. "She feels it too? where... IN THE ARMS OF HER MASTER!”Arethusa glared at him.“The insolence…”He glared back at her.“Get the fuc* out of here, never come back again.”“…How can two people be so similar…yet so different?” She asked him, or herself. He could not care less about her or whatever she had to say to him.But there was something about her tone, not her words, that had Hylas’s eyes glued to her, and when he gazed deeply inside her eyes, something felt wrong to him. There should not have been sadness in the unknown female’s eyes.“Are you another fan of the great heiress then?!” Hylas said after a long moment, trying to place his finger over the unexplainable sadness. Did she harbor feelings for her subordinate? His blood boiled and burnt through his veins at that idea, his female had enough of those to go around.“You think you love her and so does he, but no one will love Amal the way I do. Nothing can begin to compare with a moth
“I am listening, what is it that you came here to offer me?”That was it, the opening Arethusa was looking for, but judging by those few words she had exchanged with the president, her offer was doomed before she got the chance to even make it.‘I need to change the offer at once,’Arethusa’s offer was based on the knowledge she received from the time she spent talking to her pair, the founding father was extremely interested in politics and the economy, he had big dreams for the community he was trying to build.‘I was going to offer him construction and prosperity,’ she thought to herself.Arethusa was under the impression that these two things would be what any president in the world dreamed of. She could have her mediums build this island the way the president dreamed of, she could make sure they have enough rain to maintain the harvest until all eternity, she could be the president’s lucky charm if he would agree to what she had to ask of him.But that all had to change now.‘He
“I am going to have you now, Amalthea. And just to warn you, I shall not take it easy.” Amalthea’s eyes darkened with desire, and something else. The same emotion that had been in her eyes every time the couple made love for a week now. Nereus did not want to admit what Amalthea’s secret emotion was. He was terrified to his very core to admit what it was. And to admit that it might just never go away again. His water pushed both of them onto the bed in the far corner of their headquarters. “I want to feel your skin on mine.” He told her. Then he ripped her dress in one go. His eyes softened when he registered how shocked she was to see him behaving like this. “I shall get you a better one,” he told her between deep kisses and light pecks over her lovely breasts. He took his clothes off almost as quickly as he had taken hers. Then in one thrust, he was inside of her. “Hah…hah… for nature’s sake,” Cynthia moaned with pleasure. And the sound of her relief and happiness resonated
It had been three weeks since the destruction of the weapon. The negotiations about the future of women were ongoing for the second week now.In an unexpected turn of events. The president of Men’s Island was leading the negotiations himself, assisted by his cousin and counselor, Alexander.The counselor first objected privately to the president’s involvement. But besides the fact that the men around power were only loyal to Hylas, the allegations Alexander tried to press against him were baseless, Anna was not a human woman when he made an attempt on her life.And nymphs, until this moment, were still men’s worst enemies.The prolonged bitter dispute between men and nymphs could not possibly end in one night, but the men held their tongue for one thing and one thing alone. The possibility of getting their women back into their lives.Hylas had ended his solitary confinement all of a sudden, and the mad man that was unapproachable looked almost alive once more. He would arrive at the
On an island that had recently changed its name from Men’s Island to New Island, excitement filled the streets.Women were not back yet, but the news that they would be back soon was more than enough to create a commotion amongst men.They dealt with the news very differently.Some of them broke into festivities, there was food in the streets more than ever now, and many men even distributed free samples only because of the joy that had filled their hearts.Barber shops and tailors were packed with customers, their businesses were blooming. Their owners had never made this amount of profit in their entire lives. Both the owners and the happy customers had nothing to complain about.It was cleaner than ever.Neglected houses were undergoing repairs, shops were being upgraded or redecorated to a brighter style. Gloomy curtains that marked the windows of Men Island were being replaced with new colorful ones.These were the men that took the news well.There was another group that panicke
There was no doubt about it. Amalthea was not okay.The increasing levels of pain she felt inside of her slowly turned into fatigue, the mornings she spent with Cetus planning the reconstruction of Atlantis were cut short when she started nodding off in the middle of them.It was not normal, not natural. And extremely concerning.The nights were not changed much, Amalthea sought comfort in her path partner’s touch. But she couldn’t take in his love for the entire duration of the night.She would fall asleep then too.Nereus and Cetus talked long about it. And though the topic was infuriating, they discussed the source behind the depletion of Amalthea’s energy.The most obvious culprit would be her separation from her pair. The two of them did not see Arethusa when she was recovering from ending her relationship with her pair. But there was a big possibility that the worthless human was still hurting her.There might be other causes as well.Her dignity was under attack for the entire
“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
