I CHÓRA TOU VULCAN.
~The King and His Queen~
"As we all can tell. Things haven't been what they used to be in the past few weeks. And you all know what that means."
Vulcan's pace on the words was slow but thoughtful. He seemed to be conscious of making sure that his voice travelled to the multitude of citizens who had been increasing by time.
He walked away from the door of the palace, holding Athena's hand. He halted after guiding few of his steps as well as his Queen's to just a stone throw from the public.
"Of course, we do have a good news too, amidst all the odds."
He took a peek at Athena and nodded. Then back to the public,
"In a month time, the project which had been going on since over two months would know its completion. And when I say, project, I mean the forts, ramparts, Colosseum, bridge over the large lake and other royal constructions."
He fancied the necessary royal pause

The Palace."Put the light out!!!"Vulcan's voice, no matter how loudly he had yelled and called, seemed lower than his growing confusion. His eyes keen on the group of guards pouring out water on the blazing fire eating into the fort in the palace square.The side of his face suddenly caught a figure walking out of the palace. He turned quickly in that direction, as Athena walked briskly towards him."Where have you been?"He looked away from her to the guards who kept running about. Trying their best to fix the scar the monster had left on the palace."Tending to some business.""Business quite intense than being around your Lord at this critical moment?"His ogle was tamed but the tempo of his voice was unbridled and couldn't hide the swelling rage."It's something I had to do, my Lord.""Without my consent? I bet you just do whatever you think best for you wit

In the woods.~The King and his Queen / Ayla~"How far more shall we go? No sign of it anywhere."Vulcan considered the rift up ahead of them closely then held Athena's face in his gaze."It seems like we've come to a stop."Her face was glued to the front as their horses came to a stop. He traced the side of her face to the direction. He already knew what to expect,"You mean, the rift? We can't cross it?""Of course we can but it comes with greater risks."She climbed off her white horse and walked towards the rift as Vulcan took suit. There were at least fifty horsemen behind them. But the warriors knew too well to keep their space between the royal horses and theirs."Help me understand."He caught up with her. She was standing few steps away from the rift. There was a swelling fog at the other end of the rift. And at their end of the rift, there were green patches of stic
Half of you, Vulcan! "Be Jealous!!!"
At the Palace.~The king and his queen~"Why don't you get jealous?"Vulcan's eyes emphasized how raving his heart lapped on his voice. He was seated directly opposite her in the royal chamber. She was seated on the bed."Jealousy is one of the three greatest defects of humans."She replied, keeping that cool beautiful face. He stomped his left foot and leaned forward in displeasure,"I'm mad at you. So do not play around words with me. Answer my question reasonably or either of us would regret having this discussion."She stood up from the bed and walked over to him. She sat on the arm of the one-seater wooden chair, decked with the skins of cheetah and cowries lacing the bases.She put her arm across the top of the breadth of the chair but he shot,"Don't touch me."She took a deep breath and stood up. She paced the room for a while with no words. He seemed to had gotten tired of i

Several months later.~The king and his queen~"Die! Die! Die! Die!"An echo of the chant swelled to fade as it travelled across the four corners of the circular Colosseum. A woman wounded in wild ecstasy threw both her arms in the air, a fierce movement which threw her two handful boobs out of the loose gown. A man standing next to her reached out his hand to feel the swell of the inviting mounds, but another standing across from the other side spared a quick punch, which shifted some of the tissues in the former's nose. A fight was birthed. A fight quite mediocre to the death-battle, at its peak, in the midst of the arena."His head... his head... his head."A gladiator bathed in thick sweat and patches of drowsy darkened blood threw his gaze in the directions of the audience who kept telling him what next to do. He was standing over another, who seemed too weak to stand.After a long millisecond reverence t

Same.~The King and his Queen~"Who are you?!!!"For the first time, came a deep, thick, and slightly fuzzy voice from wine. Vulcan and his lover turned to their back. Twas the king of Aiowa, probably seeking an attention or meaning, to bring the insolvent peace and quiet to a halt.The king of Aiowa walked out of the hollowed space towards the front and nodded slightly to Vulcan, eating up Athena with a slightly contemptuous gaze; a gaze stalked by tons of questions."And who are you too?!"This question was directed to the archetype Athena in the heart of the arena."What did you mean by the first question? Are you doubting the authenticity of my queen?"Vulcan argued, his ogle pacing the grim face of the king of Aiowa. But both of them were deprived of they comeback as they all heard a sudden wail from the heart of the arena.Everyone turned in that direction, even the crowds caug

Later that day.~The Archetype and Vulcan~"And that god left the child to the justice of the wild hunting winged bull with the head of a lion, Lamassu. But the child being the offspring of a god, a god himself, tamed and lured the monster with his innocence, until he had climbed on its back. The redhaired, neon-eyed child gave a loud shriek and the rage in him was intense and ripe enough to explode... The hot lava which had coursed from his remains burnt and melted the Lamassu. There go the story of the god who lived for three years... died with his foe... and at reincarnation, became the slave of the Lamassu who now takes the form of a Centaur, the father of the woman whom he loves."Vulcan took a deep breath as the archetype stopped talking."That's a story stalked by grief and pain and anger."He let out finally. She chuckled and held his hand. They were standing before the Palace surrounded by strong walls - fe

The Next Morning.~The Archetype and Vulcan~"Athena."He rolled in bed and crashed on a lady next to him by the left. His left arm, pressing on the tit of the lady. He didn't seem to get the best of that mood as he turned to the other side. He crashed against another lady. His left over the thighs of the lady.He mumbled again,"Athena."As he kept fighting to lie peacefully in the bed, surrounded by ladies, he didn't get the best of the mood. His eyelids began to pave gently, till his pupils caught the life of the day."Oh... goodness."He sighed as he began to realize what was happening. He had requested for maids to satisfy his pleasure yesterday. And he had been on the loose, pleasure-wise, until he passed out.Then suddenly, he felt a silhouette standing off the bed, obstructing the flow of the clamoring rays of sun. He looked towards the window and his eyes widened. He s

The Royal Hall.~Royalties~"Long live Athena, and her king."The three kings bent their backs forward in a gentle bow as Athena and Vulcan walked into the royal hall.Twas a large building within the great walls of the palace and had only a single room. The room was lit up in the golden rays of the standing lamps which were arranged at the corners of the room.There was a large table in the heart of the room around which there were long benches for whoever saw it fit to sit.There were numerous jars of mead lined on the table and wooden plates of steaks and venison. Rarely steaks, more venison."To what do we owe this visit?"Athena got to them and sat one of the two chairs at the edge of the table. The three kings sat back down, standing behind them were thirty hefty men of different stature and forms, dressed in straps and belts. Most parts of their bodies, like chests, backs and le
