"Did you see what happened just now?"
She said walking towards the middle-aged man who also was also walking towards her. They almost walked into each other when the man stopped and said,
"What business did you have with her? She's not whoever she says she is."
The man's husky voice came, his face rough, but quite trained to filter whichever emotions he was nursing at that moment.
"We barely talked before she left. I actually freaked out seeing what she looked like and ran away. But she just stood there watching me like I was mad and had just made the whole stuff up. Then I walked back to her and then she didn't wait for me. She then walked into that tree. You saw her. Please don't say I am mad."
She paused to catch her breath finally. The man looked past her towards the tree in which Aynea had entered. He then started walking towards the tree.
"Please say something. My state isn't good for t

Inside a tree."Unbelievable."The princess gasped as soon as the darkness was swept away like the cover of a book. Twas like a trance to her. All she knew was that they were in a tree, but it didn't look like it. At least, not what she had expected.There was a blue and crystal lake few metres away from her, but no building in sight. Aside the lake, the whole place was surrounded by different types of beautiful trees. And a green pasture tantamount to a lawn, spread across the space the water was generous enough to spare.Then she noticed Vulcan and a super beautiful lady standing before the lake and obviously arguing.Twas quite strange that the lady no longer had hoofs for legs. She was as every lady would look, but she was more than beautiful.Her beauty seemed to be reflected or mirrored by the body of water neighboring the two. The gentle breeze which crashed against the lips of the water, did
Half of you, Vulcan! Prium and Ayla
Prium and Ayla. "I want to go out of this tree." Prium said in akimbo, glaring at the indifferent Ayla who was looking towards the pool. Prium's body, especially her waist, swaying to the rhythm of her want. "You Ain't deaf, servant. You must do as your mistress order you." She said again as Ayla turned towards her, wearing the inquisitive gaze. Then Ayla asked, "What is it that you want, mistress?" "Why do I have to repeat myself over and over again. I want to go out of this tree." Ayla shook her head and said, "I ain't holding you, mistress. You can leave now." Her shoulders doing the dances spelt by her guts and body. Prium at that was quite vexed and didn't hide it. She wasn't fashioned to hide such emotions, "Are you fucking with me now? If I know how to leave this tree would I had asked you in the first place?" Ayla scoffed and stood up, "I don't know too."

Outside a hut."I don't think it's safe here anymore."Tahni said finally after been quite since a while. Her mother was seated on her usual stool, her back to the door. Tahni was standing beside her, staring blankly at the worn path which leads to their hut."A little uproar shouldn't change the fact that this is our land. If we all run away, who will defend it?"Her mother said without looking at her."How could you say that, ma. Even the princess is no longer in the land. She had been banished, with the pregnancy in her. The men who had done such thing to her, do you think they would make exceptions for us?"She heard her mother chuckle and looked at her."It's a wonder you found this funny."Tahni said bluntly. Now, her arms were tucked into each other and wounded around her stomach, immediately below her titties."What's there to be particular about? Tahni, do not worry. J

Inside a tree. "You can't keep me hostage here for long. I will not have you treat me with such contempt. You will let me out of this shithole once and for all. And I mean it. You will let me out of this place right now." Vulcan raged, he occasionally would look away from Aynea to the princess who pretended as though he was not there. He had tried all he could to get himself out of the place but he simply couldn't. He still couldn't understand how he had been able to walk out of the tree when he was with Prium and Ayla. Only Ayla had the answers to that. He wished she was there. A part of him missed her. "Only one day more. Aynea be take her words seriously." Aynea said, meaning to stand up and enter into the hut she had called out with magic. Vulcan hurried to her and held her arm. He spun her around that their faces brushed. He could almost rest his lips on hers. He let go of her and stepped back
Half of you, Vulcan! The lover boy II
In a forest. "You can't keep following me, you know." Tahni stopped at once under a tree, gawping at the indifferent Miargos. They had been walking since forever and that was their second day in the wild. Twas a wonder that the cave in which they had passed the night didn't toss misery at them. At least, that was a pretty sense to it. "What choice do I have, Tahni. I have lost everything I had back in that village. I do not have a choice. If I should die seeking for my love, I shall. Plus, you sure need help in this wild. Even though you pretend not to." She leaned on the bark of the tree and pursed her lips. She shook her head in annoyance and shot, "This is madness, Miargos." Miargos moved closer to her. But he stopped few steps away. He was sure not to walk into her. Only if he wanted to press himself on her. "If finding and fighting for who I love is madness, then I do not want to be sane."
Half of you, Vulcan! Chaos
The same day. Same time. Inside a tree. "Now have you had your fill? Have you, witch?!!!" Prium cried, her voice almost cracking. She didn't care. She was already used to screaming and shouting and snapping at the always indifferent Ayla. "These three days you've held me against my will. You'll pay for it. Believe me, you sincerely will." She threatened again. Ayla as usual didn't say a word. She was also used to the noise and bickering. She didn't have the strength neither did she want to hurt Prium. After all, Prium was her mistress. "I command you to stop walking right now!!!" Prium screamed again as Ayla slackened her pace, her back to Prium. She was just few metres away from the tree. Ayla, unknown to Prium was walking to the portal of the tree to open it for the both of them. But she didn't want Prium to know. So, she didn't tell the restless mistress about it. Ayla had one more punishment

Same. "Tahni. What are you doing here?" He asked walking towards her, as she finally fought herself off the rude Miargos. She flung herself into his arms and he held unto her for a while. There were a lot of thoughts pacing his mental ken. One of them was the fact that he never thought that any one was missing him. At least not his other daughter. He had thought that she had taken after her mother and wouldn't give a damn about him. But it seemed that he was wrong. Like he was about Prium. But he hoped that Tahni's love was the family type not an illusion like her sister's. "I've been worried about you father. I thought something evil had happened to you. I couldn't help thinking of the evil mother did to you. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you, save you from the cruel judgement. But I'm so glad that you're alive. I don't care how. I'm glad." She said raising her head to see his face. But then she looked away from him to see

Outside the tree. "You can't keep escaping using with your crappy magic. You don't think you'll get off my grasp this time. You thought you could fool me? Or what were you thinking. But it's a pity to see that I --" Prium stopped chanting as soon as she stood up, and turned to the group of people looking at her. "What in the actual fuck!" She muttered. Trying to hold her gaze on one of the group. She didn't know who precisely to pick on or get on a brawl with. Her father was standing in the middle of the group and beside him was Ayla. To the left was Tahni holding unto that princess who had caused the death of her father? Then isolated, by the fallen and uprooted trunk of the tree in which they used to live, was that wierd lady who had came to threaten them in the wood many days back. She tried to understand what was going on as well as struggle with the implication of the whole matter. She

At the mouth of a cave."News got to you too."Tahni was the first to start, of the six people present. Two couples and a mother and her daughter."Should we call it a sheer coincidence? Of course we felt the wave, but twas point in time we returned that things escalated."Aynea had stolen the stance from the princess, her daughter."Don't say I speak out of turn, but how about your baby? Where is she/he?"Miargos had a contention. His left arm was wrapped around Prium's waist. They were all standing at the mouth of a lone cave. A cave conjured recently by Aynea."Mother left him with the fairies back in her world. To be taught the art of magic and survival. We would return to him when the time is due, but at the moment, he's in right hands."The princess explained. Tahni didn't seem really convinced. She edified,"Fairies?

Why do we fight in the first place, if we are to lose?"One of the Gladiators queried. He was lanky, his skin toned brown, his voice thick and puffy. His eyes red and face stern."Be mute Simian! Who told you that you could wield words of your own accord! Be gone from here dog and do that which you've been bade to."At once, the three kings turned their backs and walked in the opposite direction, while the wooden door creaked before the Gladiators and opened to the sticky passage.The large iron gate which led into the arena was pulled open by five hefty men and the G

Tahni was seated at the base of a large. The large tree in which they live. While Ayla was pacing the gaunt path before the tree.Ayla stopped at her call and turned to Tahni, not leaving the position she held,"Something you've been meaning to talk about, or something you've been talking about yet haven't gotten a response to... but you want to, at all cost."Tahni stood up suddenly."Whatever you call it."Ayla smiled and walked off the way."I'm all ears."Tahni snapped,"You act too wierdly these days. At first, I thought it was some Nymph thing. Like it was bound to happen and then would go away. But then, it just kept coming and coming, so obvious that if I'm indifferent, then I'm nothing but a fool!"<

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

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

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.

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
