I CHÓRA TOU VULCAN
~The King and Queen~
"Are you sure that was Poseidon? I do not mean to pervert your judgement or ridicule your words of course. But I'm just worried that setting the people on a verge for what we're not really sure about could be detrimental to both us and them."
Vulcan took a break, taking a peek at his queen, his love, his woman, Athena. They were standing before the huge gate of the city which had recently been changed. The ramparts were under construction, and the borders of the village were the large forest to the West, rows of mountains to the East, the large lake to the North, and the desert of bones to the South.
You could say that the settlement was a plague or Completion of existence in itself. But many of the people living in the land had no faintest idea of the desert of bones and the large lake.
Everyone knew about the forest but only few knew about the rows of mountains. The f
In the woods.~Prium and Miargos~"Don't you think this is Madness?"Miargos' pace behind her gave her a sense of freedom, yet the stalker would not stop getting on her nerves. She spun around at him and yelled,"You know what madness is? Madness is you following me around. Following me about like a leech, whose anterior sucker connects to its host, giving it a lofty benefit to be stuck on the skin for as long as it wants."The fact that she halted was like a blessing to him. He had learnt to see beyond her bickers and indifference. He had learnt from his father that one's first love is like a gun put to your temple, whose trigger had been bothered. Just a movement of the finger and off the bullet goes, eating through the skin, crunching bones. Every obstacles in its way tantamount to bygone.He had been able to make just an iota of sense from that Maxim. And most times, he had knuckled under the fact that his
In the woods.~Prium and Miargos/ Vulcan and Athena~"Ahhhh!"Her throat almost bursted open by the pitch of her shriek. Without thinking, Miargos hurried to her and held her from behind, wrapping his arms around her, his arms brushing the base of her titties as he pulled her back."Stay behind me."He finally let go of her and looked away immediately at the Lion. He seemed like the intermediary between Prium and the Lion. Or say, the barrier.He stood in the way of the lion, few inches away. His eyes bulging at his socket. The young lion growling and moving in thoughtful sequence."Do you want to get yourself killed?"She called at him but he didn't respond though a silly smile escaped his lips. Who smiles at the face of death? Probably her concern about him loosened a nut in his brain.As the lion closed in the space between the both of them, Miargos began to move in a
The Cave.~Poseidon/Vulcan and Athena~"Is that how vulnerable you are? That you can't leave the mortals out of the show?!"Athena's intonation fell to rise. Her eyes running through the stern face of the young sorcerer who had his back to them. Vulcan was standing beside her.They had just entered into the cave and instead of exchanging pleasantries, Athena had shot those words at the fellow. You could say, that was her own way of saying a 'hi'."You must have a lot of guts to bring him with you."The sorcerer turned to face them. His eyes were red and there was a mask of laser running through his face. Vulcan tripped and freaked out. But then, the mask seeped into the sorcerer's face; his face sucked it in."He's my love. A mortal who has everything your immortal carcass can never reach."She shot back and he chuckled."Do you mean he has this!"He swiped his hand acro
In the wood~Prium and Miargos~"What's that up ahead?"Miargos halted suddenly. He was the one leading the way. Prium was just few steps behind him. She had argued that he kept his distance beyond or behind her else she'd stop him from going with her.She had a torn part of a cloth wrapped around some object which was clutched to her breast.She caught up with him,"Don't tell me that this is your own trick of walking side by side with me."He glared at her,"Funny."That expression seemed to move her."You seem to had grown wings now, eh?""Look ahead."He ignored, tossing his head to the front. She shook her head in disbelief,"Go to hell."She walked away from him towards the ridge up ahead of them. He grunted,"There's no winning with her.""Wait up."He hurried to catch up with her. But as he did, he stumbled on a long th
After few hours.~Prium and Miargos~"I couldn't believe that we are still alive."Prium let out finally, walking side by side with Miargos. She looked at the ridge bordering the rift few metres behind them. She looked back at the front."If you've actually trusted me on so many things, things wouldn't had gotten this worst. But of course you have your reason for whatever you do and I wouldn't ridicule that."He maintained, shooting her just a quick glance."Are you trying to be sweet and mushy now? Sucks."She growled and he chuckled. '"But seriously, what was that thing. For a moment, it seemed as though I was in some myth told by the sages and poets.""You don't think all the creatures discussed by writers are real?""I didn't. But after seeing that creepy creature, there's actually nothing to disbelief or doubt."There was a brief silence,"But your dad used
In the woods.~Tahni and Ayla~"Have you heard of the latest discovery I made?"Ayla spun the circlular soft substance on which she was lying, floating through the lake, around, in the direction of Tahni who was just beside her.The both of them were sunning up their skins, basking in the tingling rays of the sassy sun. The object they each were lying on was like a ring of large balloon made to float on water. Twas just like the present day inflated donut balloon - the floating swimming device for the pleasure of the interested."You've been keeping majority of them to you lately. And I don't really want to talk to you. Not after preventing me from to going to see what that explosion we heard few days ago was about."Tahni argued, looking towards the other direction. She couldn't be sure what Ayla was up to. But the magic was that, the both of them were floating at the same proportion. Not one balloon fa
Under a tree.~Prium and Miargos~"Why do you keep following me, Prium?"He turned to her, breathing heavily. They both had been running through the woods since a while and he decided to take a break since he couldn't lose her. Though he had tried as much as possible to do just that.She was seated next to him, almost brushing sides with him. Twas just too good to be true that the almighty, highly egoistic and indifferent Prium wasn't going to let go of him. Technically stalking him."Why do you keep running away from me? Is it because of what happened before I went to Poseidon's cave? The biting of your lips?"He scoffed and looked away from her to the swell of the shrubs up ahead of them."Unbelievable. How easy it is for you to change the topic, Prium!"He paused for a while then added,"Maybe I should just go then."He made to stand but she reached out her hand and h
~I CHÓRA TOU VULCAN~~The King and his Queen~"Have you seen it before?"Vulcan's gaze had been eaten up by the intensity of his curiosity. He looked way from the guards who were carrying the corpse with several gores all of its body away."Yes. It's called Kin-Lin. It's of a Chinese origin."Athena replied as he turned in the chair,"What's a Chinese monster doing here then?""Do not call it a Monster. If one of the emperors of the Chinese empire hears that, your life would be more than bargained for."The curiosity in his face melted into a molten lava of worries,"If it's not a monster, then why would it had gored a man in such innumerable amount of places.""Tell me, husband. If I go after a citizen and kill such, would you call me a monster?"He shook his head,"Of course not. You have your reasons.""So then, why do you think the creature doesn't have its reaso
