"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 eMarvelonThanks 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
MarvelonInstead of waking up in my castle, I opened my eyes to the ocean view of the ancestral world. The scared feeling was gone and my body buzzed with energy. I had no idea what Queen Ophelia did to me but it had my heart pumping faster than normal. I was too excited. For what reason was still a mystery.The pier came into view and I trodden through the sand up to where Sophie normally was. The benches were empty and neither of my friends was anywhere to be found. I relaxed in one of the seats and admired the view before me. It was nice and quiet. A vacation in a hectic time."Hey?" Sophie strolled down the pier. "Is it time?"I slouched in my seat. "Time for what?""Fesel's crowning ceremony, you dummy."Oh, right. That was today. I wished I could be there to support her. Craig was gone, so she was going to be lonely.Sophie nestled in the chair across from mine. "I thought this is why you are here. I
Horrible! This was getting out of hand. King Mitchalus has been so stubborn, stuck in his pride. He refused to sleep in the same quarters as me. The executives were taking notice. I was sure they all thought it was my fault. They kept their lips sealed and their minds at ease around me. That alone made it obvious they either pitied me or blamed me. This was the Antarctican Pod, everyone was busy and their minds often buzzed with thoughts. Then it stopped around me. And only me.Prince Torus was busy most days but once he spotted me, he never spared me anything but a death glare. Without a doubt, he was blaming me for his brother's actions. Unlike the executives, he was not discreet with his disdain.They were all accusing me of doing something, yet King Mitchalus got away with his actions scotch free. Heck, all there was left for him to do at this point was bed another mermaid. He mated both his paramour and his first mate. Therefore, he was unable to impregnat
The ancestral world was nice to sleep in. No dreams were out to prevent resting. No extra noises or discomfort. This place was awesome. I loved it.Sophia left a couple of hours ago. It could be minutes. There was no way to tell time here. It did feel like a long time. I dozed off twice and she had not returned. As per my request, she left to gather information from the ancestors about where Queen Ophelia might have sent Craig. I just wanted to ensure he was okay. Once that has been ticked off the list, I would return home and get myself sorted out before Fenon's visit.Alex was yet to show up too. Which meant Amoria had not left for Fel's ceremony. That gave me peace of mind. I still had a little time left. Once everything went smoothly here, I would be able to have enough time to get all my priorities in order.Sophia returned with two mermaids. Though they had different appearances, their demeanor was similar. Out of the three women, Sophia was th
The island was under attack. It was still too early. Damn you, Fenon."What is our defense status?" I asked, desperately hoping we had enough manpower to fight off Fenon's guards.Mia thrust pieces of metal against my chest. "Please put this on, sir."This was it. I took too long to get to the friggin' treasure room. Even though time dwindled, I was still too careless."There are guards positioned to keep you dad at all cost, your majesty," Mia reported. "We don't have a lot of protection, so Martin and a few are trying to hold off the enemy from gaining access to the castle."Most of my guards were on their way here. Craig had managed to teleport some of them here before he left for his home. Still, we had the remaining traveling here via ship. Mia and Martin were even supposed to hire more guards. All those were supposed to be done before Fenon got here. We expected him to arrive later. Surely, the ceremony has not started yet
The time was here. The time for Princess Fesel to become a Queen. I was more than looking forward to this. We were not invited but because this Kingdom was allied to the Sea Witch Queen, we were given the privilege of getting a broadcast. We would not be able to view everything as when we would be in the City. Rumor has it that only the eyes of sorcerers were able to witness certain things. Why? I was still not sure about it.I never questioned it. The executives were the ones I had to talk to and it was odd that my mate never taught me these things. Their words, not mine. Of course, it was talked about when they thought I was not listening. Therefore, I limited the number of questions asked. These days all I did was eavesdrop. I admitted I was a bit clueless about being the Queen. Mitchalus was always busy and when he was not he avoided me. There was no other way to gain information.Hence, I fixed my schedule, so I, too, would be busy. It has helped a whole l
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
