2024-10-29 19:42:56"The stench was quite strong. I could still fill its pangs in my nostrils. Not sure if I'll get over it."
The lady said. She was still in the gown she had on the previous day. She should be leaving the beach in few days if her husband refused to show up.
The previous day, she had mistaken Ja Lia for her husband and vice versa. The similarities and correspondence of the occasion set the two off and left them with no choice but to get to know each other better. At least, better enough.
"I'm sure she was here."
Vulcan said as he took his seat next to her on the bench which was few metres away from the hut.
"We are very much different I guess."
She said, her arms dancing on the chair. Her moderate waist was bordered by the thick arms. Quite thick for a lady.
"Myself and you or Lailah?"
He asked looking closely at her. He didn't want to miss out on any of the point. He couldn't afford it.
"Is that her name?"
She quizzed. He nodded.
"Thought I told you before."
He argued. She looked away from him towards the sea. The waves of the sea was dragging nearer.
"Maybe I was absent minded."
She agreed. She was quite beautiful too and twouldnt be bad if he talked her into a relationship.
He didn't even have an idea how to go about. But one thing which could be a mill was the pregnancy she was carrying for the man.
She had argued that the man was quite demanding when it came to sex and she didn't have that strength.
Ja Lia thought himself best for her. But time would test the feeling of course.
"So, what next?"
She asked. He didn't see that coming though he knew she'd still ask.
"Clueless. Maybe stick around for a while then resume the task."
She looked at him.
"What task?"
He looked away. He was a dummy. He shouldn't had mentioned it. Well he was smart enough.
"Quite confidential."
He muttered.
"I see."
He could tell by the way her brows were knitted that she was displeased. He wasn't really there to please her though he wanted a shot with her."How about you?"
She stood up and began to walk towards the waves of the sea.
He didn't want to stand up but she didn't look back.
What choice did he have? He stood and began to follow her.
Few metres away from the lapping waves, she stood still, wrapping her arms around her body.
The wandering winds were hitting on her gown like Ja was thinking of doing to her.
He kept walking closer to her. Lots of thoughts were rippling in his mind.
He felt like walking closer to her and wrapping his arms around her. Like he would do to Lailah.
That was very much a bad idea. Plus the state she was caught in, she wasn't very much in the mood for that.
He walked towards her and stood beside her. He was proud of himself. At least he was able to tame the temptation.
"What do you think they are up to?"
She said staring blankly at the sea. He looked towards the location. There was a ship far into the rise of the horizon.
"Fishers, who else?"
He looked at her. That was enough to tell that she disproved of his stance.
"They very much could be sojourners. Not everyone on the beach is there for love affairs."
She looked away again as she lost the ship to the bellowing distance.
"You still haven't answered my question."
He looked at her. She wasn't moved. She didn't seem to be.
"Why do you care. We don't clearly know each other and after now we'll very much part ways and will never see again."
He wasn't feeling her. He needed more. That was his art.
"How about if I want to keep seeing you?"
She chuckled. Ja wanted to take that as a positive sign but it didn't seem to be enough.
"You're flirting with a pregnant woman? That's way too dumb."
She scoffed and resumed walking towards the sea. He didn't know if she was trying to pass a message across.
Ja was getting distracted. He knew that. He should be bent on carrying out the instructions given to him by Poseidon.
He waited for her to get to wherever she was going before he would follow her.
He shouldn't be her puppet even if he only wanted to have a one night stand with her.
She got to the waves of the sea and dipped one of her legs into the retreating waves.
He looked back at the hut. He didn't catch the best view. But he noticed that door was opened. Slightly.
He couldn't remember whether or not he opened the door.
He hurried to her. She flung herself into the sea. At a point, he thought she had been gulped but then she tossed her head up again.
Her face was decked with a rich smile. He didn't know if that was meant for him or not.
He got to her and watched her walk out of the waters.
"Did you open the door?"
He asserted. She tossed her head sideways as though she was going to say "say that again please."
"On a serious note,now."
He said again. She walked past him and began to head for the hut.
"That was a simply questions, you know."
He said again, pushing the sand with the strength of his toes as he tried to catch up with her.
"Why are you being rude, now?"
She halted and turned to face him. He wasn't far from her. He could just move two steps and kiss her. But there was a heat.
"You're the rude one here. Just a question is a thorn in your flesh."
She scoffed and began to walk on. He loved the way she scoffed, he'd loved to see her do that over and over again.
She hurried to the hut and noticed few footprints and a smear on the door.
"Who's in there?"
She called. Ja arrived behind her. She looked briefly at him and away.
She walked towards the door and reached for it.
"Maybe a second thought, woman."
Ja said for caution.
She ignored and pushed the slightly opened door. It creaked.
Then before she could push it back, she saw a silhouette towering over her.
She fell backwards. But Ja grabbed her and ran his hands up to the fall of her boobs.
She regained her balance and yanked him off. Then she saw the person walk out of the room.
"Cloe?"
She called.
"You know him?"
Ja asked.
"My husband."
She said.

"What was she doing here?" Lao Tzu quizzed, still standing at the door of the room. Jimin was still speechless. He didn't know what to say to his brother. Twas quite obvious. What was there to say. The lady had been on him, sucking him and rocking his erection hardly. Lao Tzu saw it. Jim was seating on the bed and looking at his brother who was wearing an emotionlessly long face. He knew he was waiting for something. He wasn't a dummy of course. But he didn't know from where to start. He would look at him occasionally and throw his face away. Then Lao Tzu walked away from the door. Jimin stood up. Fair enough, he was still having his clothes on. He hurried and scrambled till he got to the door. Lao Tzu was under the oak tree opposite the house. He was facing the vast pl

"Was that why you left me back home?" She hurled at the man as soon as she got her words after the balance. Her eyes were tuning and Ja could only but watch. He wasn't really sure if that was the best way to start a conversation but twas never his own problems so he'd steer clear of it. "I have no idea what you talking about." The man said rather confused. He had a skin which looked like a gourd. Inside the skin gourd, there was coconut water in it. He wanted to make a little rite before drinking. He had just figured what he wanted to do before her arrival. "You won't. Probably she'd tampered with your memory too and now you're her puppet." She said again. The man occasionally looked at Ja Lia who made no comment. He was trying not to make the dark thought he was nursing survive

"I still don't get what the fuck is happening." Jim said pacing the aisle before the hut. He was distorted. His brain wasn't working the way it should. He didn't even know how twas supposed to work anymore. Tzu was over the street under the oak tree opposite the hut. Jim wasn't ready to go over to him. He felt like he should be able to have all under his control but he didn't. He stopped pacing for a while and began to walk quickly to the place where Tzu was seated. He didn't know if the elder brother would have the response he wanted. There was nothing to be scared of as he crossed the street. Carriages plied the route once in a fortnight. He walked a little farther after crossing the road and got to Tzu who met him with, "The imbeciles still in act?" Jim walked to the side of Tzu and helped himself to th
Lailah: The Milestone Ja Lia and the pregnant lady
"You know this a wrong direction, eh?" Ja Lia said walking side by side with the lady. He didn't know what he was thinking or why he kept following her but time would test it. That was the belief that had been driving him till that point. And nothing had been tested yet. "I don't want to have to see him again." She said without looking at him. Not only were they or had they been working in the wrong direction. The pace they were covering per minute was nothing pleasant. Ja knew he could never walk that slowly. All was because of the lady. Why did he always have to be in a loo because of ladies. The sea abduction was because of a lady, Lailah. Now, he was straying away from the responsibility with another lady he knew nothing about other than she was pregnant and got jilted by her husband. What if things went wrong and Poseidon came
Lailah: The Milestone The misplaced identity
"You have an idea who bears the name Lailah?" He asked the rather in a haste lady who had a child strapped to her back. She obviously wasn't going home because that route she was plying only would lead to the sea. That was the third person he would accost on that route. And none of them seemed to have an idea who Lailah was. But he had thought that Lailah should be rather popular given by the thing she had said to him when they last met. Twas just an experience which he would love to have over and over again. He looked back briefly at the woman again. She was too young to be bearing such pain. She should be like Lailah, not like his annoying wife. He was walking towards the end of that path. There was a broad field before him. Like a lawn of earth. There was another path to the right of the end of that one he was
Lailah: The Milestone What you get for being nuts
"You think that's a good idea?" The bare-chested fellow with what looked like a short made from the skin of some wild cats said to the two other men in the ship with him. They were at the shore of the sea and could see from where they were, a man and woman lying on each other as though they were dead. The other fellow whose bounty beards seemed dusty and grey had told the bare-chested to go and check if the man and woman were still breathing. The thought felt lame to him in the first place but found a pull to it. The ship was bordering the death of the waves at that time. Shallow enough for the fellow to step out. "It's just a look over then you return." The bounty bearded said. The bare-chested thought for a while, acting as though his inspiration was sucked from the face of the third g
Lailah: The Milestone Loe, the surrogate prince.
"News got to me from your father before your arrival, dear Prince." The king of that village said smiling. He was royally adorned like every other king. Only that his seemed to be an excess of what you would expect. Well, twas very much hard to tell if he had done it because of the arriving son of the Duke or was used to it. "You look very much differently. Do you remember me? It's fifteen years now. You were five when we last met." The king kept flowing. The surrogate of the prince walked to the seat specially consecrated to him. The man was fidgeting, he was only there to meet Lailah but had made a mess of it all. He felt like telling the king about it but couldn't wield the words. Time would test his willingness. "Bring out the King's special." The king ordered the att
Lailah: The Milestone Lailah meets Ja Lia!
"Where are you taking us?" Ja Lia asked. It's been quite a while since they'd been walking through the market square. They had firstly stepped off the ship then they'd started off towards the village. In the first place, Ja had no exception to it since he was very much alive, as well as the lady with him. And by the way, they had nowhere to live. The ride on the sea had been perky experience but he wouldn't want to go again. Poseidon had an eye on him. He could feel the eyes tearing his skin open. Though the lady knew a part of it, but he was sure that she didn't understand the gist of it all. "The King's Palace of course. Or do you think I have some wasted house to spare?" The bare-chested fellow picked on him. Twas a time for a payback. He had been picking on Ja since they started the walk, but he

2 Weeks Later.
2 Weeks later. By the Sea. "What's the beauty of being a king if the queen is nowhere to be found?" Ja shot without looking at her. His face was glued to the hankering horizon and the lapping waves up ahead of him. He could hear the whimpering of the coral reefs and the wandering winds. Probably he was hallucinating. "I won't be gone forever, Ja. I couldn't possibly forget about you. I just have some scores to settle with Poseidon and I'll be back into the warmth of your trained arms. I tell you, it'll only be like a night sleep before I'll be back." Her arms were tucked into each other, folded over her ample bosom. She was also looking towards the sea, probably counting the strokes of the waves. "How about if you failed and that dickhead gains his control on you? What if he subjects you again and then locks

Inside a tree. "Oh well, there. Look who we have here. The king of Havila spending his last day in the tree." She said and closed in the space between the two of them. She was all over him at that moment. Then at once, she hugged him tightly. Like a bone crushing hug. Such hug he'd never received in his entire life. The consequence of such hug was the fact that, those two bounty boobs were pressed tightly on his chest and her nipples were about to slit his chest. He tried to put one of his legs on the bed like the lady so he could assume the right position. He did. He held her tighter than she held him. He was dragging her closer. He wanted his cock to fight its way into her pussy. But he couldn't achieve that. She felt warm under his touch. Her scent was glorious and the urge

The palace. Havila. "I know that several of you are bitter and sad because this stranger had been crowned as your king." Lailah started, pointing at Ja Lia as a reference to the word 'stranger' she had mentioned. Ja didn't bat an eye. He knew he could trust her on such stance. He just stood beside her. His eyes occasionally leaving the converged citizens for Lailah. "But there are few things you do not know that I'm very willing to let you know before I leave your midst for as long as possible." She continued, avoiding Ja Lia's gaze. Ja had shot an ogle at her because of the last phrase she had referenced. She hadn't told him that she would be leaving Havila, though he remembered her making some allusions several days back. Plus twould be quite illogical of her to leave Havila after he had just been recently crow

Ja Lia's Coronation: Questioning
In the Palace. Havila. "We'll be asking you three questions." One of the chiefs threw at Ja. The chief's expression was betraying and by extension demeaning. Probably his own way of threatening Ja to give up before the time. Ja looked at Lailah who was seated by him. In only her face did he find his comfort. Several other faces betrayed his guts. His will to survive was always shallow whenever he gave them such stare. Or vice versa. Lailah nodded at him and he looked back at the chief and nodded. Not that he couldn't make decisions of his own but... whatever. What was the point of explanation? "Shall we get started?" Another of the chiefs asked him. That was the same question he was asked yesterday before everything went rogue and some of the conspirators broke into the square to ruin him. He didn't want to bring back th

The coronation. Havila. "I'm not ready for this." Ja whispered into Lailah's ear. He wished he could whisper into her mind and heart and every other parts of her body that would make her take him seriously. She's just too playful and daring. Those should be cute and sweet qualities, but not at that moment. Not on a day, which was called his coronation day. "Are you really sure about this?" She asked to his dismay. He looked at her. He wanted to dismiss the urge to listen to her but he was moved instead. Was she really being considerate? Unusual as it seemed. He stuttered, "Yes. I'm not ready for it. Not today, maybe some other day. I appreciate your effort but I don't have the resources from their tests. Even though I'm yet to know what they are." She smiled and replied, peace splattered on

Inside a tree. Havila. "What were you thinking?" Ja Lia was eating her up with an odd ogle. He wished he could do more than that. If twere possible to scold someone with looks, he would had done exactly that. But she only sat on the bed smiling, probably making a joke of him. He wasn't vexed. He was acquainted with her nuances. "You could had gotten the both of us killed. I'm sure you knew that." He shot. He saw seated on the chair opposite the bed. The room was illuminated with blue rays that day. He sure didn't know how she came up with the tricks. "It's a slap in my face that you still fear whenever you're around me." Her countenance had fallen. Well, you might think she was sad or something close to that, but in no time she could burst out laughing again. Such was her art.

Public announcement
Before the palace. Havila. "Citizens of Havila." Lailah said for the hundredth time, trying to fight her way around words. Yet the vociferation of the lots kept outweighing her voice, swelling in size and number. All she kept hearing was, "Fuck off bitch!" "We deserve justice!" "Lailah must die!" "All the strangers must go." Lailah at a point was forced to resort to her dark magic but she didn't want to. She wanted everyone to have a shot. A chance of lending his or her voice. The days of anarchy and coercion were gone. But the only thing which could steer the beast in her was if anyone lay their hands on Ja. She might set the fellow on fire. "Die, Lailah, Die!"

The Palace. Havila. "This is just ridiculous." Jim gave up on trying to get to Lailah. He didn't know why Ja was so protective of her. The bitch who had caused all of them such great harm. He wished he could just hold her in his hand, that her blood may be dried. "Let her be." Tzu called at him, but he shot him an odd ogle. He couldn't hold back the cuss, "Have you ever had a choice? You're just being turned about and tossed around as though you don't have brains. Or probably they don't work." Tzu stood up at that. He wouldn't take such insult from his insolent younger brother. "Now let's trade fist. You think you're now a man and can say whatever you want?" Tzu was walking closer to Jim with such long face assorted with determination. &nbs

Welcome Lailah, thou Havila!
Before a tree. Havila. "How soothing it is to feel the caresses of the cruel nature again." Ja praised, his face washed by the bellowing breeze sent by the wandering winds. He had his left hand in Lailah's right. Both of them were standing before that tree. "You never left the comfort of nature. You only travelled through channels." She corrected, squeezing his palm gently. She looked at him and he brought his face close. He kissed her. Quite the brief one. "Comes the time to know of few of my arts when I was gone from the tree. Your cherished question." She said. He felt excited at that. But soon, concern splattered across his face. He didn't leave her wondering, "What of the people of Havila? They sure know the both of us and wouldn't be pleased seeing us together." She smiled
