Between spending my nights training in the ancestral world and my days with Craig my skills have gotten much better. I was now able to last a longer time in a battle with Torus and Aquant. It was an amazing feeling to see their approval of my improvements. Hell, I was proud of myself.
The Sea Witch Queen was not kidding when she said I would regret my decision to have her train me. She was much harder on me than Gramps. On our first session of training, she pitched all of my friends against me. One would have thought that since they were my friends that they would take it easy on me. How wrong that theory was. If anything, they wanted to kill me. They spared me offense in each attack.I was on my ass within the first few seconds. Unlike Craig, the mermaid Queen never allotted me any time to catch my breath. If I was defeated, they were told never to stop until I got right back up. According to her, the enemy was not going to wait for me to get back on my feet."Are you okay?" I jumped down on the sand beside Aqualia.She didn't take her eyes off Sophie and Mitch down the beach. I had to admit Sophie was a bit happier than usual. Mitch was more laid back. He did spend a little more time around her than anyone else. I figured it was because they were now connected.Aqualia didn't seem to enjoy their closeness. It was a bit surprising that it no longer bothered me how close they got. I was just happy Sophie was happy and okay. There was no point being stuck in the past, anyway. I guess it was different for Aqualia."I told Mitchalus we should start having babies."I choked on air. The statement caught me much off guard.Aqualia didn't take it as an offense but smiled. "I guess it does sound weird but we are royalties. Mitchalus is not like you. He knows our ways and our responsibilities. Bringing forth offsprings in the final stage of the mating ceremony. But, he got angry and now sleeps
The supreme power could not be earned unless I was in my transformation state. Before then, I should be able to summon my island and get a hold of my trident and crown. Once those three things were obtained, I would be given that supreme power. When that happened only then would I truly be the King of Kings.It was a hectic journey but I managed to get this far. A tougher road was up ahead but I was ready to face it all. After all, I was a King.I tossed in the bed, feeling too lazy to get up. Exams were a day away. I needed to wrap up my training with Craig. My sole focus should be on Fenon but I couldn't forget my exams. It didn't matter that maybe my island was in the middle of nowhere. I worked hard for those majors. I wanted to finish it. At least one thing. Besides, Sophie was allowed to do her exams and I wanted to meet up with her in the real world. Just like old times.A groan slipped past my lips when my room door burst open. Despite my eff
"What are you scared of?" The scenery on the beach paused and the Sea Witch Queen from before appeared.Even though Craig's monster was not moving, it was scaring me. "What is that thing?"Most importantly, did all sorcerers have it? If this was Fenon's secret weapon, then I had no chance of beating him. Without my full powers, I was doomed.The mermaid's followed my gaze. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"We had two different ideas of beautiful, lady.She went on without my response. "Prince Craigleon is the only sorcerer like that. You don't have to worry. It's a manifestation of Prince Craigleon's true personality."That was a bit of a relief. If every sorcerer had that thing, my job was going to be much harder. But, it did not make sense at the same time. Craig was always nice. Ever since I was a child, there was not one single moment where he got upset. He was always calm even when I did something bad. He would sit me
My eyelids parted to an unknown scene. The beach was gone and I was in a room. However, the walls were made of glass, revealing the aquatic creatures swimming by. A large bed sat in the middle of the room. There was no evidence of electricity yet the room was bright.As I was about to wonder where everyone was, Mom appeared. She flopped down on the bed.A smile curled my lips. "Mom?"However, she did not respond. She gazed out at the fishes swimming around us. I tried calling her again, but she ignored me. I couldn't move. Then, Craig appeared."Hey," Mom beamed. "You came."Craig leaned against the glass-plated wall with his hands in his jeans pocket. "Why wouldn't I come? You did summon me here."Mom's smile grew wider. "It's been a while since we have been able to come to this place. Several decades. It's still beautiful."Craig never responded but stared at her.Mom did not let his lack of en
"Did you see exactly where it was?" Craig asked, pouring himself a second cup of tea.I decided to fill everyone in on my dream. Of course, I left out the part where I eavesdropped on my parent's conversation. How it happened was still a mystery. To be honest, I was somewhat happy to learn the truth. It helped me to understand much about myself. Craig would always remain my Father. Peter was my Dad whether his sperm created me or not. He was there for me as a Dad throughout my life. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.Mom had her reasons for not telling me everything. At a time like now, I had to respect that. There was time to dwell on the past and be upset. I did get an opportunity to know Craig. He was that person that stood by me through thick and thin. He showed me cool stuff and never got angry even when I misbehaved. He was that guy that told me cool stories and patted my head when I was sad. What more could I have ever wanted? Craig was my Father e
MarvelonThanks to the efficiency of Mia, Martin, and the guards we were able to get everything in order. Craig's friend was more than willing to have us take the journey aboard his yacht. How we were going to be able to use our powers around the human was a mystery. Craig did not seem to be bothered by it, so neither did I.When he said yacht, I expected to see a yacht, not something as big as a cruise ship. According to the guy, it was called a superyacht. A fancy paradise on water. If I was hating this mood of travel before, with such a yacht my mind was instantly changed.Aquant and Torus traveled with us for the first half of the trip. They spent most of their time with Craig. I would be lying if I said I didn't want to know what they were doing and talking about. I wanted to see how Shelly's star looked and how Aquant would use it. It would be a bummer if all he could do was look at it as an ornament.I wouldn't want that. Aqaunt was
Of all the rooms in this place, why did Gramps have to keep it down there? Such a pain in my ass. I crouched against the edge of the pool of water that led down to the next section of the castle. I could just close my eyes and jump in it. I had to get that trident. The exact room where it was floated in my mind. The worst part was no one else could get into that room apart from me. It was my treasure room.Gold, diamonds, my crown, and trident were in that room. All Gramps prized possession. If anyone else tried to get in there, they wouldn't live to tell the tale.I sighed. This was going to be harder than I thought.I dipped a finger in the water. The area burned as tiny scales covered my finger. Transformation was going to hurt like a bitch. I could wheel the trident in my current state. I would have to be in my true form. And, I had to get that trident to ward off Fenon.I groaned aloud. "Damn it!"My child was not going to
Ever since my dream, fear has crept into my thoughts. I couldn't go back to sleep. I kept seeing that mermaid's face. The way she watched me. It was as if to say 'I know you exist now and I know where you are'. Even when the sun came up that fear still resided within me.Every time I manned up and decided it was foolish to be afraid of the room in my dreams, I ended up stopping at the door and found something else to do. I needed to get down to that treasure room. Being afraid of a mermaid was not good, not like a time like now.That was why I ordered four of my guards along with Martin to accompany me. The more, the merrier. If anything, they would protect me. I hoped. The mermaid was in my dreams, not reality. This was absurd. A grown man afraid of the dark. I was a King. Another King was out to get me, I didn't have time to be afraid of some mermaid in my dream.Martin sensed my uneasiness and suggested, "Me and two of the guys are going to check
