Lights flickered across the sky, piercing through the darkness. Loud rumbling echoed afterward. The sky finally opened up with tears of anger, pelting everything below.
My muscles ached, even my tail threatened to stop working. None of that mattered as I fought the monster that tried to drown us under its petrifying waves. It got angrier with each passing minute. The roar grew louder with the wail of the baby, slapping me under. Again. Bubbles surrounded me. My vision grew foggy. I had no choice but to let go of the basket I held.
People often said when an unlucky person was about to die, they could foresee their life flash before their eyes. All the things that mattered, all the good and bad they did throughout their time amongst the living. Everything would come back to them. However, they were wrong. My life meant nothing without what was inside the basket. All I could think about was how far he was from me. How his cries bellowed through the darkness.
No! This could not be the end! This was not the end!
With all the strength I could muster, I swam towards him, catching the end of the basket while trying to think of a way out. If I swam under the waves, we would be safe but it was a fifty percent chance he would die. But, if I stayed on the surface and swam this way, it was still a fifty percent chance he'd also die.
There had to be some other way.
I knew my past transgressions would catch up to me. Somehow, I thought it wouldn't be from my offspring.
Clasping the pendant around my neck, I squeezed my eyes shut. "Father, please, help us," I begged.
We haven't spoken for years, but he was the only one who could help me right now. The Bedding would make everything okay.
By the time I surfaced, the storm had gotten worse. My eyes opened just in time to catch the raging monster of the sea. They widened at how tall he grew, ready to attack. With shaking hands, I gripped the basket for dear life.
No! No! No!
The storm did nothing to quell the loud wails of the content of the basket I carried.
"Shhhhh." I tried rocking the basket gentler to calm the toddler inside, but instead, his cries grew louder.
Defeated, I placed my lips as near to the basket as possible and begged, "Please, Marv, just stop, for Mommy."
Before I could utter another word, the monstrous tide came crashing down on us. We were thrust under the water. The basket survived the attack and floated back to the surface. I, on the other hand, sank further and further away from it. The basket became a blurred image rapidly disappearing.
Land was a place filled with wonders. It was the habitat for new beginnings. Now, was the time I regretted going there. If I had heeded to the warnings...
Frustrated, I closed my eyes, triggering a current of power. It flowed through my veins. First, it started with a slight humming, then transformed into something greater. My eyes flew open as the power and I became one. My first thought was to pull the basket towards me, but the thought was knocked out of the park when a vivid image appeared in the distance.
I squinted my eyes to observe the blur. Then, another flickered in my peripheral vision. There was more than one.
Whatever they were my son could not be their dinner. I would make sure of it. The figures swam closer. My heart picked up speed.
I hadn't tackled sharks in years, but my skills weren't all dormant.
Energy sang in my eardrums, and coursed through my veins, ready to be utilized. My heart pummeled against my ribcage while my patience was worn thin from waiting to attack.
I needed to get back to him. I needed to get back to that basket. These creatures needed to be dealt with first.
They came closer. Closer. Fists folded at my sides. Energy buzzed louder.
The creatures neared. They weren't sharks or stingrays. They were...
"Aqua, what are you doing?" It was a familiar voice. I swiveled around to face Shelliot, the youngest guardian on the King's Council.
There was never a moment like now where I was relieved to see my people. I pulled the Guard into a long embrace. "Shelliot!"
Not used to such actions from a member of the royal family, she stiffened. A smile curled my lips. I wasn't the same person. Land could do this to people. It changed us and made us throw out our pod's beliefs.
For a second, I forgot why I came. For a second, this was great. Then, it crumbled when reality forced its ugly head. I released the young guardian. My gaze flashed to the surface, then flickered to the Guardian.
"I can't make him stop. I need to take him to The Bedding," rushed past my lips.
Shelliot's eyebrows knitted together as she tried to comprehend what I was saying. When it sank in, her eyes widened before she grew tense.
"The storm," she murmured.
I didn't give her much time to process everything, but insisted, "I need daddy!"
They still didn't make a move. At this, desperation started creeping up on me. "Where's the King?" I choked out.
"Princess, why do you need the King?" Octoria, the lead mer-guard for her team and Shelliot's older sister asked, swimming toward us.
What she had in her arms stopped my heart. Marvelon. She had my baby in her arms. Under the water. He was born on land. He had not yet developed the art of breathing underwater. I wasn't sure he could. His father and I had never taken him under before.
Panic tempted to overthrow me. Octoria realized my horror, and tried to reassure me, "He's okay. He can now breathe down here. I just had to put him to sleep first."
Sleep? Not again!
I swam forward to snatch him from her, but both guards, Shelliot and Crystal held me back. Desperation started to build again.
"No, you don't understand," I yelled. "What you did will only make it worse."
This was what I did. Now, there was a storm and Father was my last hope.
Turning towards Shelliot, I enveloped her hands in mine. "Please, Shelliot, bring me to Father," I begged.
Maybe it was wrong of me to target the youngest guard. Octoria was a guard for too long. She was immune to erratic emotions from the royal family. Shelliot was not.
Shelliot's gaze flickered from me to the baby. Those eyes never dared look at her elder sister as she contemplated what should be done.
Before I could beg again, she eyed her sister, "The storm. The King can help."
Octoria arched a brow. There was no sign of sympathy in her facial features. She pressed her lips together, narrowed her eyes, then sighed. "Come, let's get the King."
Marvelon's story has come to an end. I had so much fun with this story. It has blossomed so much since it started. The first draft was way less complicated than this final piece. The original version was a love story about Aqualia and Marvelon. However, as I wrote, the panster in me came alive. New characters joined the story and the old characters played new parts. Their lives were molded differently. Gosh, most of them probably hate me for all the tribulations I have put them through.Oh, I bet Marvelon does. Aqualia might be. A little. Oh, my gosh, since we are on the subject, I can only imagine what is going through Aquant and Torus's heads. 'All my possessions for the head of the author'. Yep, or maybe they would threaten to find me. Oh, yeah, that's it.Still, they are my babies. Torus is my favorite character in the entire story, and I thoroughly enjoyed the scene where he and Guardian Shelliot sparred in the cave at the Antarctican Manor—yes, I am the psycho who enjoyed reading
"Sorry I'm late, guys," Fel swam into the cave. "Prince Torus has become such a big baby these days."I never thought I would hear those words. Baby and Torus in the same sentence. Though he and Sophia mated, he acted aloof to the entire situation. If it had not been for Sophia and Mitch, I wouldn't have thought the guy would be mated. He was just that kind of asshole. Sophia didn't seem to mind being mated to him or Mitch. I mean, come on, she chased after an ass like me for years. I just wished she would have gotten a better ending rather than Mitch and Torus. After all, she had been through, she deserved so much more.Mitch sighed. "Where is he now?""He's in my chambers, sleeping," Fel answered."What's wrong with him?" I probed, looking for answers.Aqualia's shoulders bounced."He's rejecting his coupling urges," Fel responded. "The more he does it, the more he's losing control. And, a merger losing control is n
My heartbeat pounded in my ears. When the executive stated that the King needed my presence in the King and Queen's quarters, I panicked. Mitchalus has time and time again pointed out he had no interest in sleeping in the same quarters. This was the main reason we avoided this area. It was not meant for us. Which would explain my nervousness.Mitchalus was not the type of person to change his mind out of the blue. He would fight it until I submitted. However, before he did no such thing. Instead, he helped my ruined Kingdom to go under construction. It had to mean he accepted where we were and decided to let me go. For some odd reason, I was heartbroken. It was a much more wrenching feeling than anything else.Mitchalus gave up. It should have made me happy. All I ever wanted was to be rid of this Kingdom and ruled in mine. Now, Mitchalus was giving me the chance to do so and it was like my world was ending.Stupid girly feelings!I had ho
"Are you sure you want to do this, Mom?" I asked as she got ready to leave.It was not that I didn't want her to go. That was the plan, after all. But my visit home was different. There was a tension there that was odd. My house was always a cheery place. It made me feel comfortable and safe. However, when I went home, that calm was gone. It was as if everyone was holding on with a thin line.I couldn't tell if it was me. My relationship with Fel was not too stellar. She was different. No longer was she shy or sweet. She only stuck around because she needed my help to free Craig, and she was not afraid to let me know. Around everyone else, it would appear that she was the perfect mate. Behind the scenes, she was a monster. Too headstrong and determined to do things her way.She couldn't wait to get away from me. The more she rebelled, the more I craved her. I needed help, it was clear with my interest in women. Still, I couldn't help myself. Fel subm
My heart rate went off the charts. A chill ran down my spine. The anger in Fel's eyes had me paralyzed in the spot. This was the first time I have ever seen her and she did not look innocent and shy. The determination and anger were aimed at me. It didn't matter, though. All I wanted was to kiss her. For some strange reason, she was way hotter than before.It could be the aquamarine dress. It was too provocative to be considered such. The majority of her breasts were spilled out from the deep V neck design. The two slits on each of her thighs were enough to keep my eyes on her movements. If that was not enough, the material was thin to invite every heterosexual male. Yet, it was thick enough to hold everything from the viewer.Her hair was down. The crown was a perfect addition to the colors in her hair. Her hair had gotten longer. It swayed from her hip with the wind."Fel," I breathed.She hissed. "How dare you! How dare you!"
"We'll go to see her now," I ordered Amoria.Time waited on no man. I didn't have time to waste. The sooner we found the Seer, the better things were."Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Amoria observed me. "Your mother just died."If I had not been smart and severed my connection to that mermaid, I would have to be resting now. The excruciating pain would have been enough to keep me bedrisen for at least a few days.I pushed from my throne and swam up beside her. "She was no mother of mine. She doesn't deserve that title. I refused to be held back by such a mermaid.""Hmmm." Amoria opened a portal before us. "You really have changed. It's kind of scary. Too bad, I know how to handle crazy bitches."A corner of my mouth twitched at the comment. "Look who's talking? You're the craziest of us all.""Damn right about that."Neither of us moved as the hole got bigger. I didn't trust Amoria one
The three guards never moved or said anything. One of them was keeping a secret, yet none of them wanted to talk. I shifted my tail, getting more comfortable. If they thought they would get away with using their powers against Craigleon, they had the next thing coming."Craigleon was the best person in this Kingdom," I admitted. "I'm sure all three of you can agree. He must have helped each of you in one way or another. He helped me in more ways than one. He taught me things my parents were too busy to teach. He was patient and kind. The kind of person that you couldn't help loving."One encounter with my brother changed many lives. He was a beautiful man, inside and out. Mother's masterpiece. It was no secret she loved him more. If he had been born a girl, she would have tossed me aside from the very beginning. Maybe I wouldn't have been born."When I was younger and scared Craigleon was the one who snuck in my chambers and sang to me until I fell a
Everyone bowed at my arrival to the Bedding Cave. This place was essential to our Kingdom. The cave rested beside The Bedding. Once the star has been passed on from one Queen to the next, the previous Queen would be taken to this cave. Here she could relax and pass away in peace. The Bedding is next to it, which helped to rest her shell of a body there once she passed on to the ancestral world.Father was the only one in the Mother Queen chamber. The minute he noticed me, he moved from the chair beside Mother's bed."Fesel, are you okay?" he asked. Though his lips moved, his facial expression held no ounce of concern.If I had not known the other side of my father, his behavior would have fooled me like it did everyone else. However, I knew what he was like as a Father. And, this was not it. The spark he once had was gone. I needed to know what he did that caused him to look this dead. I needed to know the truth. What was going on? This was why I nee
My eyes fluttered open. It took me a while to recall my current situation. I was a Queen, my mother was on the brink of death, and here I was. My heartbeat pounded in my temples. I swung my tail from the bed and sat up."Your Majesty, you are awake," the dark sorcerer rushed to me. "You gave me quite the scare."Oh right. I sought out the dark sorcerer to get rid of all connections to everyone close to me. Mother was on the brink of death and I didn't want to feel that useless heartache. Therefore, I had it all taken away. I shouldn't have to suffer if any of them die. None of them took my pain when I suffered. None of them."I thought you might have died for sure," the dark sorcerer went on. "I warned you about that spell. It is a miracle you are still alive. Breaking a connection with one person is as much stress on your body, much less three people all at once."The pain was excruciating enough to cause me to lose consciousness. I
