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

In the woods.~Vulcan~"Go go..."He called at the men on horses behind him, while he slackened the pace of his, and the white horse whinnied. Well, a way to think of it is that he was scared to lead the way, but he had his mind on several other things.He watched the horsemen zoom past him as they chased the skipping creature up ahead of them all. The creature wasn't really running, twas as though the spirits of a gazelle, stag and a cheetah came into it. So, at a time, just two sway of its body and far into the length of the forest it went."Make the call!"Vulcan screamed at the top of his voice and one of the horsemen blew the horn of a reindeer in his hand. And at that, the top branches of two trees opposite each other and had the path in between, tilted and out of the earth came a thick cage of net meant to catch the creature.At first, the creature was caught and refrained. But sudde

In the woods.~Vulcan~"Athena!"He was riding with haste and passion. The horse whinnying through the path, such haste which could make it tumble."Athena!"He called again, urging the horse to the rhythm of his heart. He had been told by the palace groom that whoever wants to connect with his horse must marched his heartbeat to the horse's. And that was what he had been doing."Athena!!!"His tempo laden and sodden this time. The horse snorting at intervals, its eyes dimming, unknown to its rider.Suddenly, the horse slackened its pace but the force of the haste was too quick to be halted all of a sudden. The horse bumped into something which threw both Vulcan and his horse back and made both crash into the length of the path."Arggh."He groaned, trying to fight his legs on the earth. As soon as he stood up, he helped his horse too and pat it,"Let's see what h

Somewhere in the woods."Ah... shit. I can't believe that Ayla really did this to me."Tahni grunted, pressing her back to the base of a large beech tree."I'm sorry, Tahni."The fellow standing before her pleaded. He was dressed in a long but smeared black cloak with an upturned collar. Tahni couldn't help but consider him with such huge contempt.She traced her almond eyes down his cloak to the tunic hanging loosely under the preferably borrowed cloak. She didn't have no choice but to hover on the torn sandals of the fellow."Don't make it sound ridiculous, young man. The only thing I don't understand is how you knew Ayla and what the both you agreed upon or what she had promised you..."She had looked back at his face.

She pushed a lump down her throat as Aynea, who had been leading the way, was forced to halt and spun in her direction, walking back to her to match the position."For the past few weeks, you keep repeating the same thing with no precision."She paused and pursed her lips, then let go,"Being a Dryad doesn't mean that I can read your thoughts. You should come out clearly and not assume that I have a faintest idea of what you're talking about.""Forget it then."The Princess dismissed and began to hurry away. The Dryad, who now was a typical beautiful lady with nice curves and ample bosom hurried to catch up.She got to her and reached for her left arm, spinning her to hold her gaze."Please."The gentle word escap

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?

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
