Inside the tree.
"When did Ayla tell you that she would arrive?"
Vulcan's voice was barely high but it got to the wandering Prium who at the moment stood at the front of the portal, arms tucked into each other, wrapped over her boobs, her back to her father.
Immediately, she turned and began to walk to meet Vulcan who was lying on the green lawn which was quite distant from the house now with three rooms and a living room. Each room for each of them.
"She didn't say. Who cares whether or not she's done with the crazy task. Who even asked her to act as the king? We all know the king is dead why go an extra mile in the name of complications?"
She was almost close to him. He didn't sit up, his legs yet were spread out, his bare back to the green and his waist covered in a kinda wrapper woven from the hides of cheetahs.
"Why do you dislike her this much?!"
He asked finally! His voice refi
Inside the tree. On a bed."Do not say a thing."Vulcan's voice authoritative, yet tampered with compassion and concern. His eyes tracing the curves of Ayla's face. She was lying on the bed.Prium was seating on one of the stools in the room to the end of the space by the entrance. She was reading indifferently from a scroll.Vulcan didn't know why she had come into Ayla's room if she knew she wasn't going to be of any help to her. The Prium lady could be some big big dick.Occasionally she would look away from the scroll up to see where on Ayla's body, Vulcan's hand was touching. You could tell even without an expertise that jealousy was her reason for being in the room.But Vulcan didn't know why she was still persistent. He had made himself clear to her several minutes ago. He wished he could send her away but that would be ridiculous. He couldn't do that. He didn't have the mind for
Under a tree. A forest."For how long will we sit here?"Tahni asked the barely clothed Aynea who was picking some crushed twigs in the earth. She didn't know why the lady was quite creepy and spent her time doing dirty and pretty crazy things. Things you can't possibly explain its reason of being.The stooping Aynea looked up at her, her back to the stretch of shrubs and woods. Then she said, her dusky face fawning her words,"Aynea be sit here all day. If you be want, you be sit with Aynea."Aynea had that naughty and childish face that Tahni found appealing which was one of the reasons she hadn't decided to let the wierd dryad be all by herself."Aynea!"Tahni called immediately, distracted from her precious thoughts. She was jumpy, wishing she could break into the bark of the tree and enter through."Be scared for Aynea?"Aynea said without looking at her back, unaware of t
At the Palace."I call this meeting firstly to discuss with you chiefs before I take it to the populace."She started, picking each of the five chiefs in her curious gaze. Especially that one chief who wouldn't help but rant if he had the knowledge of what she was about to say."We're at your service, my princess."That same man she feared said, his bulky eyes lapping on her guts. She wished he could just stop looking at her. Even though she hadn't said a thing, it felt to her like that chief already knew what she was about to say."Thank you."She hesitated, thinking of the appropriate way to start the conversation. Or say, the intended."The king as we all know is worthy of our references and reverence. Knowing fully well what he had done both for us and this great land."She paused again, as that chief snapped,"We do not need to be reminded of that, my princess."Obv
A hut. "Where have you been all this while?" The middle-aged woman asked, her mean gaze eating up the indifferent lady walking towards her. She was seated on a stool at the door of the hut. "Didn't you hear what has been happening? Don't you no one is safe anymore? Did you think I have been out working too? Isn't you the one have been looking for? Or do you want to end up like your father and sister too?" She asked, standing from the chair. She wished she could make lashes off her words and lash the lady, but twas a mirage. The lady was very much beyond lashing. "What do you care, ma?" The lady shot at her finally, halting few steps away from the confused mother. "Do not speak back to me in that manner!!!!" The mother shot walking towards the lady to match up her face. "Tahni, let that be the last time you would speak to me in that manner." But Tahni thr
Inside a tree. "Now that all the work is done, what stays you yet, Ayla?" Prium shot at the indifferent Ayla. All Vulcan did was supplant his rude and mean stare on Prium. After all he had done to her and made her seen for herself, she yet wouldn't leave and would keep constituting the nuisances she thought she had her grasp on? "You don't get to choose who stays or leave, Prium. You might as well leave if you're tired of being here." Vulcan found his words, but Prium seemed like a rock which bounced back whatever got to her. She didn't seem beaten nor moved. She said, "Was only saying, she should leave and go and call her mistress, afterall she is a slave all along." Vulcan slapped her and she was so shocked. She didn't expect it. Like when a rollercoaster which seemed to had been mute, out of nowhere, from behind you knocked you out. "Say one more thing about her and you would get another. Gone are t
In a forest. "Where do I go from here?" The princess muttered, breathing heavily, the sac containing her clothes in her hand. She stood in the path not certain where to go. She knew that going back wasn't even a choice. She would be beheaded at sight. She could risk her own life of course, but not of the baby in her. She was dead already to herself. She was living because of the child in her. She looked at her back, there was no one in view. She opened the sac of clothes and brought out the skin of water. She drank from it. That was the last drop. She wasn't sure whether or not they was a stream nearby. She was already doomed. But then she looked up towards the other direction, to the front. She saw a wierd lady seated under a tree all by herself. She began to hurry towards the lady. Probably she could be of help to her. As she drew nearer to the lady, she noticed that the lady had her head down tracing her
Still same."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
