I trodded through a long path of darkness. The words 'We're done. We shouldn't be friends anymore,' kept flickering in silver along the way. Sophie's laugh in all its age transformations flashed in the dark with images along the side of the path. Sophie when we first met. Sophie, two years later. Each stage of her development in all its glory. Those disappeared and the path grew dark again. The silence drew me to the edge of insanity. Weeping pierced through the silence. I came to a stop in front of a film of Soph crying. She was an adult. The last time Soph cried was when we were sixteen. After that day, she changed. She got stronger, vindictive, and manipulative. In this film, she looked weak. A sad little girl. Liquid trickled down my skin. I touched my nose. It was blood. I was bleeding. My nose, ears, and tear ducts leaked the crimson substance. My mouth pooled with blood. I spat it out in the darkness.Related chapters

Weakness.Though I didn't understand what Mom and Shelly were discussing on the phone, the strength of my body declined. My movements were somewhat sluggish. My powers, on the other hand, were still intact. Most of all, I was sad. Depressed, even.I couldn't remember anything of last night other than my argument with Soph. Everything else was a blur. The memory evoked in my sleep kept replaying in my head. Soph and I were sixteen. I lost control and she didn't run. Still, every time it played in my head, I got more depressed.This could only mean one thing. Soph was finally letting go. She wasn't going to pursue me like every other time we argued. This was what I wanted. Yet, my whole being refused to acknowledge that Soph would leave me. She was the most stubborn person I knew. She got what she wanted and she has made it clear she wanted our friendship.I remained in bed for half the day. A rarity in my family. Mer
The Hidden King Aqualia
That traitor! He should pay for what he did. I was going to make sure of it.After several almost close collisions, and three failed attempts of not running off the stupid road, I managed to maneuver the driving technique. The vehicle still refused to remain on the road. With good reflexes, though, I was able to take back control of the wheel. Good enough, the stupid thing didn't kill me but got me safely to the Antarctican Manor.I couldn't bear to stand still and watch Sophia die. After my attack, there was no way she would survive it. Then again, she had the King to help her. If he was strong enough to control my rage, no doubt, he would be able to save her. Deep down, I wished she would die.However, she was a human. She was unaware of all the things going on in our world. I was sure she had no idea of what he was doing to her. The poor human went in blind. And… and… this was what he did to her. This was what he did to
The Hidden King Aqualia
I made sure to scrub my body until it felt sore. The sight of Sophia's blood being washed down the drain made me feel disgusted. Most of it was aimed at me. Sophia and Alex were the first humans to show me what being on land was like. Without them, I doubt my knowledge of land life would be this advanced.I never would have assumed this would happen. I could have stayed away from her. I never would have been led astray by Prince Mitchalus.Oh, darn that merman!He should have kept his hand to himself. Guardian Torus made it clear Prince Mitchalus mated Sophia for more than what he relayed to me. It would mean all this time he had been lying to me. He gave me the impression Sophia was just a friend he was coupling with to blow off steam. Like an idiot, I believed every since word.Now, only for Guardian Torus to reveal even our relationship was a lie. What did he even want from me? Power. What more could it be? If we

Waiting for information about someone's health was the worst thing ever. I couldn't stand the thought of sitting around doing nothing. Feeling helpless was not in me. I had to put some distance between me and what was going on in that house.Outside near the beach had a better atmosphere. The ebb and flow of the ocean kept me calm. No tension resided here. The sea breeze cooled me down, and the water sang a sweet lullaby.If anything happened in the house, the wind would bring the information to me. A nice eavesdropping technique. I learned this trick in High School to find out what others said about me after the incident with Alex, Soph, and me. People had a lot to say about us back then. Too many theories of why we had split up. I needed to know everything.Over time this technique got perfected. Now, I could be miles away and hear a conversation. The wind could carry each voice to me. It was most effective whenever I was nearer to the sea.
The Hidden King Marvelon
I sensed Mom before her voice boomed through the walls. Whenever she was angry, it was easy to sense her rage.The irritation entwined with the air and made the atmosphere tense and hot. No one wanted to be around her when she was upset. Not even me.Her visit here was inevitable. It has been a week since Sophie was with the healer. She was still in a coma. I couldn't get myself to go see her like that. In fact, I didn't have the strength to do anything at all. Not even get out of bed.No matter how much I tried to act like everything was okay, a flood of sadness would knock me from that pedestal. I haven't been to school, nor anywhere to be exact. I tried to shake off the depression and went to sign the contract with the hotel owner. The signing was a success, but my spirit was never lifted.Construction on the hotel started. Shelly went there to instruct the workers. She was monitoring their progress. Shelly took the time out every night to up

I spotted the merman before he did me. His stance could be sighted from a mile away. It was too distinctive. I drove into the garage and cut the engine of the vehicle. He opened my door with a smile. "Hi, you're getting better at this driving thing." That charming smile. The same one he flashed me the day I walked into the shelter. Craig, that was the name he called himself on land. He had been an amazing help these past few days. I didn't know there were so many rules we had to abide by here. Craig taught me every necessary detail to live in this world. I didn't know what I would do without him. I exited the car and handed him his car keys. "Yeah, your car isn't that hard to drive. Besides, you're a great teacher." I had to park Sophia's car. Countless times, I planned to leave it at King Marvelon's house, but fear often stopped me. The thought of going there when he was home was enough to trample the idea. Instead, the vehicle was parked at the apar
The Hidden King Aqualia
No other thoughts consumed my mind but Princess Aqua's. I couldn't help but wonder why she requested my presence. No, there were a hundred reasons why she would want to see me, but was I ready to see her? Heck, no. My actions had been terrible. It was unheard of for a mate to attack the paramour. They lived in harmony. In fact, it was said the mate often felt the connection of the paramour before she coupled with the King.The thing was I never felt any kind of spiritual connection to Sophia. Yes, I liked her. She was a nice land girl, but that was it. I considered her a friend. There was no foreseeing her and Prince Mitchalus. No instant connection between our beings. Nothing. Even during and after I attacked her, there was nothing. No pain. No love lost. I was empty with nothing but rage.One could analyze this as a result of Sophia belonging to another. She was never meant to be connected to me. This had to be the reason for my sudden hate for her. It had to be.
The Hidden King Aqualia
Strange.I wasmore than nervous to enter the King'shouse. My mind kept showing me images of him being angry at me or with all three of these people ganging up on me. Despite what my thoughts were, the opposite of them happened. Guardian Shelliot didn't address me but carried on as if I wasn't there. I figured she was still feeling the impact of Princess Aqua dismissing her.Princess Aqua guided me to the room I used to stay in. She retreated to the King's room after. At dinner, he said nothing to me. In fact, he walked past me. Everyone communicated as usual and acted as if I wasn't even present. I guess it should have made me feel relief. However, it made me feel worse. If they didn't address the problem now, then they would do it later when my guard was down. That would be far worse.Unable to sleep, I convinced myself it was wise to speak with Princess Aqua. We needed to have everything out on the table. Only then could we move forward. It was bet

The Hidden King Author's Note
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
The Hidden King Marvelon
"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!"
The Hidden King Queen Fesel
"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
The Hidden King Princess Fesel
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
The Hidden King Princess Fesel
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
