"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 guy.
"Let's be logical now. If I get there and they are not dead, what happens?"
He argued. The bounty bearded looked at the third guy. The third guy seemed to be their resort or garbage.
"Don't give me that look."
The third threw his face away. He looked towards where the lovers were lying.
"We could just bring them in or just leave them. I'm clueless."
The bounty bearded quit talking. The third drew their attention to a recent bother he got stirred by,
"I think the man just moved."
The bare-chested scoffed and joshed,
"How many pint did you take before setting sail?"
The third guy hissed and sat on the deck of the ship.
"Go quickly and be back in a haste."
The bounty bearded ordered. The bare-chested looked at him for a while and began to fight his way off the ship.
"I hope that one day this good act would not ruin you."
He said as he hopped off the ship. He made a splash in the bellowing wave.
As the waves retreated, he dug his legs in the sand and watched the sand swept off by the pompous wave.
He hurried out of the water and looked back at the other two, as they danced to the tune pruned by the band: the ship and the waves.
He looked away and concentrated as he walked towards the supposed lovers.
A pace at a time. He was calculating as well as sorting the soothing words to greet them with or better still wake them by.
He approached them and heard the guy snoring.
"Hell of a sleeper."
He said as he walked round them. The whooshing wind had blown the gown of the lady up.
From her knee to the rise of her thighs, the milk skin glowed, reflecting the rage of the sun and fiddling with his own mental ken.
"You should go now. Eh?"
He muttered to himself. But the dark pleasure he was already a slave to would not spare him a thought.
The lady was much like lying on the man. She was lying such that one of her legs was between the man's thighs, over the border of his erection.
He was moved at the thought of what was wielding in his mind.
He looked away towards the ship. He saw one of the men waving at him. The fellow was saying something but he didn't care.
"No love lost."
He muttered again and walked to where he would be able to catch a better view of her thighs.
He wasn't getting enough. He bent down till his head was to the sand.
Well, he could see a grey short shooting out the curve of her vagina.
He wasn't sane anymore. He was tempted to draw closer and touch it. Even have a taste. He was quite far from it.
He didn't think he could get those, but he could keep watching. Just few more moments.
Then at once he felt a pressure on his neck. Before he could figure out what was happening, there was a leg pressing down his neck.
Lucky enough, the pressure wasn't lapping on his oesophagus, twas the side of his neck.
He tried to fight his way around it and run the hell away. When he get to the ship there would always be a lie around it.
But he lagged, the man had already gotten the best of him.
He was using his two legs to pin down his neck as though they were fighting ULC or Kabaddi.
"This serves you right."
The man said as the lady who recently just woke up moved aside.
"What were you doing? You would rape her?"
The man challenged. The bare-chested fellow kept gasping for air till the man was on him and the lady called,
"Ease his neck."
The man grabbed the bare-chested fellow as soon as he let the neck free.
He had his two hands pressed to the shoulders of the bare-chested and pulled him to his chest.
"I came here to help you two."
The bare-chested tried a defense. The man pressed him harder and said,
"By wanting to rape her?"
The bare-chested fellow at that remark began to break his voice in polished tears as he wield his words,
"How could I possibly think of raping a lady who was with a man. Her lover matter-of-factly."
The lady wasn't patient enough. She hit the fellow in the face as the man kept pressing him down.
"You wanted to rape a pregnant lady? You wanted to rape me? You bozo!"
She hit him again and again till the fellow began to reel over words,
"Ok! I was sent to see if the two of you were dead."
He paused, but the pressure on his shoulders, lapping the veins connected to the neck kept him on,
"His boorish snore made me know that you're both alive."
The fellow said. The man did a headbutt and said,
"Who's boorish, eh?"
"Ignore that."
The lady called. The fellow continued,
"Then I was about to leave when he pinned me down."
He lied. The man had no idea what to do again. He used one of his knees on the ribcage of the fellow and asked,
"How'd you get to the floor before the pin."
"Huta! Huta! Why take so long? Having sex?"
A voice came from waves.
They looked as the bounty bearded fellow drew nearer to them.
He saw the bare-chested fellow pinned and drew out his spear for battle.
"Chill, Mut. It's all good."
The bounty bearded looked around in skepticism,
"Are you sure?"
He questioned. The bare-chested nodded and he drew nearer.
"What then?"
"Let's take them with us firstly, we'll talk on the ship."
The bare-chested said, waving towards the man and woman.
"Are you drunk. Who gave you the right to make orders?"
The bounty bearded queried, wearing out the man and woman with an odd gaze.
The bare-chested fellow winked at him and tossed his head such that the other fellow would be brought to agreement.
The bounty bearded grunted and tossed his head forward as the man and woman began to walk towards the direction his nod nudged them.
Towards the ship. The bare-chested had had a bargain with the two.
"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
"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
"A news just got to me and if the information is accurate, then you two better sort a way of vanquishing eternity." The King of Kula said to the two Warriors standing before him. They were dressed in royal skirts with some touch of fibre garments running from their right shoulders to the fall of the waist. One immediately went on his knees and the second took suit. There were few chiefs on seat and several attendants going in and out of the palace as though twas some market square. "Nobody comes in again! Shoo!" The King ordered at the top of his voice. The attendants scrambled outta his presence and only two were left by the throne. Fanning the king. Left in the palace with the king were the three chiefs, the kneeling warriors and the two attendants. There was a leopard tied to the la
"Where is she?" Ja Lia asked as he paced the room continuously. Twas a large one. Larger than that which he used to live in before the whole turns and twists. Lailah was seating comfortably on one of the three chairs in the room. Aside the chair, the room was scanty. There wasn't anything of interest, except some medieval arts of witchery etched in the walls. Twas a sitting room. "Come have a seat, I have a plan." She said, looking sternly at him. She seemed to had changed. That wasn't the Lailah he used to know. She should had been doing something else or feeling herself. But she seemed rather calm, probably someone had thought her the lesson of her life. Probably, she might be baiting him. She was sure a con artist. He wasn't going to keep quiet and watch her make a fool of him.&nbs
"Come here." Lailah called, breaking the breath pace. She looked sternly at the man walking towards her. She had no idea what really had turned her on at that moment but she could roast an elephant with the heat swelling in the depth of her whole. The surge coursing through her spine was crushing and her eyes were tuning. One thing would lead to another and the odds of being ruthless would be ferocious. All she could see at that moment was a naked man walking towards her. Though the man was clothed in a lose robe, yet she could see his huge erection dangling to and fro. She couldn't wait to put her mouth to it and make a vehicle of it. Twas that hut by the sea. That hut where he had lain with Loe. That same hut had she brought the new man. Far from preyi
"She told me she'll be here." Ja Lia said, looking from one side to the other. One of the guards didn't seem convinced, so he shot at him, "But aren't you two living under the same roof?" Ja only nodded. He didn't know how to explain further. Explain that Lailah who would show up as the lady told him that she would meet him on the way. He had been standing by the gate since heaven knew how long and he couldn't even trace her silhouette let alone her form. "There she comes." He said finally as he turned to the West of where he was standing. The two guards were standing at the mouth of the gate. Lailah was dressed radiantly. Twas some gown decked with several precious stones. He had no idea from where she had gotten the dress.  
"Tell me about Havila." The daughter of the Duke of Ikpala said to Loe. Of course she thought Loe was the assassinated prince. Loe looked at the lady. She was quite beautiful but not as hot Lailah was. He could find solace in her for the meantime till he would find Lailah or just forget about Lailah. Getting married to that lady seemed promising as the king had promised him heaven and Earth. One of the contentions he had was the fact that he was going with the Duke of Ikpala to Havila, to meet his supposed father and for the marriage alliance to be finalized. He had wanted to escape but had been caught by one of the guards who definitely mistook his advances. That had pushed up some doubts about him but he had steered clear of related actions that'd kindle the flame of the doubts. 
"Did you keep this here?" Ja Lia stood at the front of the door. Before him was a helmet. He knew that helmet. He had borne it before. Twas the helmet of Jin. The only question he could think of was what he had shot at the lady who was indoor and walking towards to open it. She opened the door and looked at him. "What?" She said confusedly looking at his confused face. She traced his face to where he was looking at. The helmet. "I should be asking you." She said. Ja looked at her for awhile then looked at the helmet again. He didn't know what to think. "If I knew where it's from, would I had asked you?" He shot at her. He had just gone to the market square to see if he could buy a Cuneiform or some writing material made from Papyrus. He
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
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. 
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!" One of the men hurled stone at h
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
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
