An invisible house on the lips of a lake.
"What news do you bring?"
Vulcan asked, looking at Ayla, then looked away to Tahni and asked,
"And did you have a nice time?"
Tahni was the first to speak,
"Ayla already told me that, we don't get to ask too much questions when we expect an answer. One question at a time."
"Indeed."
Prium scorned, rolling her eyes.
"Ignore her."
Vulcan came on and built on what Tahni had edified,
"That's quite a way to think. So, Ayla, what news do you bring from the land of the mortals?"
Ayla stared blankly for a while as though she was trying to find her voice.
"The land will be plunged into chaos sooner than later. Though we didn't hear from the direct source because we didn't have the time on our side, but there is a rumor of war in the air which wouldn't be favorable to the people of the land. The men we saw the last time are with ill moti

Same."I've got some words to break with you. Meet me outside."Ayla called at Vulcan and walked out of the house. She heard Prium calling at her,"Rude phantom."She didn't care. Prium turned to her father,"Don't tell me you'll just go to her."Vulcan took a glance at her and stood up. He walked out without answering. He heard Prium scorn,"Had no idea that she now orders you around."Vulcan looked back at her, he was standing at the doorstep. He twitched his eyes and shook his head, then he walked out.Ayla was standing at edge of the extended base of the building. The whooshing wind danced in glee across the lips of the lapping water."What's this about?"Vulcan stood beside her. Looking away from that place to the end of the water opposite him. From distance, he could count the numbers of granite stones being washed by the excitement of the flowing water.T

War."Over there."A man called at another who had a spear in his hand and was running after a lone man who was dressed differently from the two.The caller was quite swift but what he had in his hand was an ax, whose wooden handle seemed to be under a spell of splitting.The man who they were on was running through the ruins, avoiding the fallen houses and burnt barns. The whole village was in tumult and amongst the several invaders where those two who were keen on taking the poor lone man down.Unfortunately, the man stumbled on a fallen part of the roof of a house which had been destroyed. He fell on his face, his left hand plunged into a 4-inches nail. He screamed and wrenched in pain."Hell of a runner."The first invader got to the man and towered over him."You all and your lot should had left this land when you had the opportunity but look at you now.

The hut on the lips of water."What is it?"Vulcan asked hurrying after Ayla who had just walked out of the house. Her round cum pretty face had stiffened in concern and jealousy though Vulcan couldn't place it in the first place."A war is going on in the land now."She said sternly looking to the shore of the lake. Her back to him as he caught up with her."I don't think that's all. Since when did you start to be concerned about the war of the land. Aren't I your concern?"Then he stopped talking for a while, trying to read her expression. He hadn't seen her that way ever. He hated to think that probably Prium had spread her dark qualities on his precious Ayla. That couldn't be right.Then suddenly, something popped into his mind. It could only be that. He touched her left arm and spun her to face him,"Is Athena here? Is she? Tell me."Ayla stared at him for a while, her dark eyeba

After the war."Gather around."The lady with a baby who was the first to see Athena called at those who were still alive. She yet had her hand to the wound. Her other hand to the back of her daughter's head. Athena was standing next to her. In the heart of the market square.The people had gathered around. Several of those alive were casualties; some lightly and some heavily wounded. None of them was barely wounded.Vulcan or say the new and hot Vulcan was standing with Ayla next to him. There were yet a lot of things to figure about his new self but he was certain that time was the best tester. He would be tested. Himself and Ayla were standing at the very front where Athena would never leave their sight."I know I am in no place to summon you all, because after all, who am I? And what worth do the words of a lady have, let alone a dying one. But please listen to me."One of the men who was badly wound
Half of you, Vulcan! Some twist...
On a road."It's feels good now. Don't you think?"Tahni said looking at the path up ahead of them. Ayla made a sound in her throttle and nodded her head without saying a thing.The both of them were walking back to their former house. Yes! Former. The return of Athena had changed everything. And now they wouldn't have to live in hide anymore.Therefore, they had been sent by the King and Queen to go fetch their sister, Prium. None of them could really explain why Athena was so eager to want to see her. Prium of all people.Tahni felt like when Athena discovers who Prium really was, probably, her interest would change. Or come to think of it, who knows? She might had change due to the magic rain which had made the forest greener and richer.Even on their way, they had seen some new creatures on the trees. Creatures they had never seen before.Tahni looked at Ayla. The latter hadn't see
Half of you, Vulcan! "She bewitched him...Arrrgh!"
At the Palace."Where is that bitch."Came the thunderous as well as pressured shout coming out of the palace. Entered through the door was Prium, with long face and blunt reaction hurrying towards the throne. You would think that she had been hired to kill at sight.But at once, she choked on all her advances and rage and shouts as soon as she noticed the man on the throne and the lady seated next to him. She didn't even bother looking at Ayla nor Tahni who were standing opposite the throne but in parts. She hurried instead towards the throne.But the guards before the throne reached out there spears to the middle and made an X-shaped barrier, preventing her from advancing forward."We now have limits, you can't just go up to father of your own freewill anymore."Prium's jaws dropped at Tahni's comment as she looked away from the young man on the throne to Tahni. She walked towards Tahni instead,<
Half of you, Vulcan! Wave of Rebellion
In the woods."Hey pretty."Prium heard a group of men calling at her. When she left the palace and was walking towards the forest, she had noticed that the men were coming behind her but she had thought that they were only going of their own wills but now that they had called at her.She didn't want to stop and she didn't. She didn't even look back. She hastened her pace instead. There was only one thing she could think of, giving by the account of what Tahni and Ayla told father the previous day. Rape. Molestation or more like it."We won't harm you, stop."One of the men called again. Prium's legs were trembling as she walked on. But at the call on the last man, she stopped walking. But before turning to face them, she fixed her face,"Who told you that I'm scared of you all? Even if you plan on hurting me, it would only end as a wish."She feigned, turning to them. Her face now long and

At the palace."My Lord, this man refuses to take his claim off my land. After what happened to our land and the Queen, blessed Athena came to our aid, there have been misplacements of lands. Which was owed to the destruction caused by those animals from Aiowa. But then after the rain and the land was fixed, returning into a state much better than the way twas before. This man had thus taken that opportunity to steal what is mine, conning his way into my own property. And I have brought this before you, my Lord."The old man stopped talking. His cloth was ragged and his face wrinkled. He reminded Vulcan of his old self.Vulcan sat well in the throne. Athena was next to him. He was glad that she was. He sincerely didn't have the mind of this trouble the citizens were bringing to him. What did he know about being a king?He signalled Athena who took a stance,"With the honor given to me by my Lord, I shall take this matter in
