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
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
