Kie's Hut.

"Shamaica?"

Kie queried, staring blankly at the dragon-woman who had just transformed before him. It hadn't been more than few minutes since they arrived at his mother's hut, wrapped around her handful bosom.

Shamaica was his long-time admirer in whom he took no delight. He had never taking a delight in any lady in all his life.

Charlene Shamaica (Kie's stalker) was a blond. 5"5, thick and curvy, oblong face, silver eyes, button nose, and soft medium lips. She loved Kie so genuinely and would do anything to make him hers, even being a terror to several other ladies who would not take love as war. No matter how many times she was rejected by him, she kept giving it her best. Everyone who claimed to love Kie was her worst enemy, a nightmare to her. And she wouldn't back down unless she goes down.

She used to be very ugly and without focus, a seamstress kicked about like some balls by almost every one who hired her. But one summer, she disappeared for few weeks. But on her return, she was already a strikingly beautiful one. The most beautiful of the ladies who lived in her time. Twas said that she gave a huge price to a goddess who transformed her and gave her several taboos which were summarized into, "You shall be a central of attention, but shall not be regarded as a human."

And even at that, Kie would not accept her feelings. He had said that he didn't want her. But not to be mistaken for him not finding her attractive. And they had gone their separate ways ever since then. Since five years ago. But now, circumstance brought them together again.

"That isn't your own way of saying 'thank you for saving my life', is it?"

He looked down at her. She was cladded in a fine blue gown with gold embroidery,

"You stole that didn't you?"

He strayed off the discourse.

"I could turn you to a wooden stool if you don't find manners."

She threatened. He scoffed.

"And how would that seem? You rescued me from the blow of Wealene's sword to turn me into a stool. How epic."

She sneered, the beautiful curves of her face carved out elegantly

"I should had left you to die!!"

She walked away from him. He called at her,

"Some ladies met with a sorcerer who gave them a potion which will keep them from ageing. I bet that sounds familiar to you."

She halted. Her head turned to him, but her body retained the present position. Then the body turned too as she walked towards him,

"Some fool was asked out by a powerful princess but he would throw it away because he hates her father."

She pushed her shoulders up in scorn,

"An argument well supported by the acclamation of his dead uncle."

He argued,

"I haven't refused her yet. But I will. And that's not because I hate her father... for I will still get my revenge on him. I will never accept a lady I do not love in the name of power and wealth. Something you can never understand."

Her countenance tuned and her eyes turned red in rage. A ball of fire grew out of her right hand. She stared at it for a while till her gaze softened and the fire waned out.

She looked up at him,

"Everything I've done because of you, I regret until this day. But I know too well, and feel it everytime I hear your name, that sooner or later, I'll have my scores on you."

She turned away from him and began to walk away. He made an attempt to call her back but he didn't push.

But then she stopped again, staring at the path which led to the city from there.

"What do you see?"

He called, walking to catch up with her. But as soon as he got to her, he caught the sight too. A lady running as though she was being chased by a wild animal. Running in their direction.

"Everyone familiar with you gets into trouble."

Shamaica scorned as the lady got to them, panting heavily.

"They are coming. Run, run, Kie, Run!"

The lady kept saying, repeating the 'run' as though twas some dark tune.

"Who are those coming? Where's my mother. What have they done with her?"

Kie picked the lady up in both hands. Shamaica hit him away, glaring,

"You handle a lady with care."

She bit. Kie looked too quickly away to the lady,

"Tell me, Iseult. Where's my mother?"

"She safe. Just run. It's her words I bring. She said she'd rather die than see you dead."

Then they heard the clopping of hurrying hoofs towards the hut. The three looked, and charging at them were several guards of the king riding towards them. Led by Jaith.

Kie stepped forward,

"I'll speak with them. I'm acquainted with their leader."

But Shamaica hurried to him and thrusted her left arm out past his body. She caught an arrow which had been aimed at him, by Jaith.

"Indeed you know him. You won't die under my watch."

She ran her right arm around his stomach and zoomed through the air towards the forest. He had less time to act.

Iseult being the only one left sort a way out for herself, knowing fully well that the hut was no sane option.

The guards arrived at the hut.

"Search the hut! Bring them out alive."

Jaith barked an order. The men hurried into the hut and were gone for few minutes, knocking off every valuable things and turning the inside upside down.

"Not of worth here. And they are gone."

The second in command addressed, walking out of the hut. Jaith looked away for a while then back at the fellow,

"Set it on fire. If he doesn't have a place to get back to, he would be forced to being a wanderer and eventually he'd be caught."

The hut was set on fire.

Kie, in hide saw what was going on and with burning rage stood up, and yelled,

"I'll have your guts. You fucking ingrate."

His vociferation precise, aimed at Jaith. Shamaica pulled him down, but twas too late, they'd been seen.

"Now you know how it feels being ingrate."

He rolled his eyes at her as Jaith and his men began to hurry towards the bridge which led into the forest.

But Shamaica put up both her arms, stretched towards the bridge and out of her fingers coursed balls of flame which wrecked the wooden bridge and denied the horsemen passage.

"Come with me. Before they find a way around it, we'll be long gone."

And for the first time, he followed her without a question.

He hurried in the direction of the dungeon.

If you're there let me know please."He went on his knees, throwing his face into the bars to look into the far end of the pit. Then suddenly, he heard a movement in the pit. And soon, the silhouette first, then the frame of his mother came to view."What have they done to you mother. I will have the head of that foolish Wealene.

They were taking the early morning stroll as usual, and the path to which they were headed led to the final hut at the outskirt of the village, Kie's Hut."What say do we have over the wills of the gods?"Malisa came on, taking a quick glance at her. Then looked to the front,"My father, the king, could seem harsh and tough and ruthless. Which all best suit him. But he does have regards for the gods. And he wouldn't go out of his way to insult or ridicule their words."Samantha was quiet for a while, but responded eventually,"But what would you do with the hostler.

Only that twas rustier and hardly plain. But it did cut through the hoof, sliding off the hard keratin.After that push, he took a pause and said to his mother again,"If getting married to that wench is what you call sense, I'd rather be senseless."His mother scoffed,"You call the princess of the land a wench?

Respect or -- whatever."What is this?"Wealene queried as Kie stood up tall before him."Didn't you say she's not worth your while? That you'd rather get married to a -- Jaith what did the lad say the previous day?"Jaith, who had hurried there, standing behind Kie for any quick ambush if necessary, mumbled incoherently.

He looked at his back, at Kie who was elegantly dressed as a king, the gold crown sitting majestically upon his head. Beside him to the right was Malisa and to the left was Sam. The parents were behind them; that particular elevated spot of the arena had been consecrated for the royalty and family. Kie nodded him to continue and he did.

    Through the woods of Agranah. "What if Malisa figures out that the both of us disappear a day before the coronation? Don't you think she'll have a lot of reasons to be jumpy?"Kie took a glance at Samantha whose horse was going gently beside his. She smiled at him,"Are you saying that she would think that we absconded again?"He nodded looking away,"Definitely. It's quite the thing to think about. And to think of it, we found our way back to each other after that sex. Now I know what I want and who I truly love.""And who's that?"She teased, intentionally avoiding his gaze. He chuckled and made his horse stop. He climbed off it and walked to hers which had stopped too. He got to her and turned her on the horse. He turned her to face himself then buried his face in her stomach. "Of course you, Samantha. You are the one I love genuinely."He looked up at her, his face soft and reflectiv

Naturally, the boat should tilt and fall over but 'twas mysteriously stable on the water. You could call that magic. "Why do you make it sound like you have done something evil. All you did was tell the witch the truth. If I was a third party, I would think that you have an ulterior motive."Amani turned to her and the boat shook. Shamaica was seated at the extreme end, on a plank connected to both ends of the boat; six other planks like that made rows of seven seats. "Sorry, master. That wasn't the intention."Shamaica apologized. Amani huffed, then started walking back to her, jumping from one seat to the other till she got to the middle. "Why do you call master?

    Night. The King's chamber. Agranah. "I don't think this is the right thing to do."Kie was reluctant to walk to the bed. His back was pressed to the door. His eyes traveling across the room. The room was lit in red candles, the floor clothed in beautiful flowers. Kie needed no soothsayer to tell him those were the efforts of Malisa. And Malisa was already in bed, half-naked, her white night gown was transparent and revealed every sensitive part of her body; especially her hard and standing nipples. "What do you think, Sam?"Kie decided to look away from Mal. That was the only way to counter the arousal he was having. Sam on the other hand was still wearing her gown. Though her cleavages were revealed, but her dresses were at the peak of modesty. "I don't know. I'm not sure I can stand it."She walked away from the bed, beside which she had been standing, heading towards the door. Malisa slid

"But for a fact, one must agree that Wealene is quite the genius. How could he had thought of creating such deadly shortcuts and traps. He must have a lot of things going on in that thick head of his.""I bet you can't say that it to his face."A feminine voice came from behind him. He was familiar with the voice, and therefore found no reason to turn to her. "After all, he's the father of a woman you love."She added, advancing towards him. "Go away, I don't want to talk to you."She halted few steps away from him. He kept on walking towards the pit. She followed. As soon as he got to the pit, he stopped then looked into it. 'Twas

    Within the Palace walls. The dining hall. "Now let's talk about the king's coronation feast."Elonaise proposed over breakfast. Everyone of them was gathered at the table. Only Hannibal was missing: he hadn't arrived from the island yet. "Can't it wait until we finish dining?"Wealene had made an exception. He seemed to be in a better state now. For all that there was, he was seated and had his usual expression stalking his face. "There's no kid here. Why should we do that? Or do you fear to choke on the meat?"Elonaise trolled. Wealene glared at him for a while. Mara looked from one end to the other. Kie was seated between his wives. Mara between the two men, each set opposite each other over the table. "Kie, when do you want the feast to be?"Kie who had been enjoying his meal, paused for a while, then looked up at his mother. He could feel the eyes of the rest heating up his face.

    Through the neighborhood of Agranah. "Where are you taking me to?"Kie was impatient now, and he wouldn't move anymore. He had been keeping his calm all this while but now that they were past the arena and were walking through the plain towards the East, he'd decided to stop his horse. Samantha who was leading ahead of him didn't stop. She wasn't going to give in to his threat. She was now a different person. Ever since Kie placed her as a second choice. Twas quite a wonder that he decided to come with her after she told him that there was someone who wanted to speak with him. "You think I'm joking? I'm turning around now!"He pushed the threat further and then she stopped. She turned on her horse and called at him,"Don't be a sucker and catch up. We are almost there. What a bore you are!!!"She grunted and nudged her horse, turning away from him. "A bore?"He called on top of his vo

He was on an unnamed spot between the woods behind and plains ahead.He resumed walking, his clothes dusty and dirty. His hair unkempt, face rough, lips cracked, shoes worn from the tiring journey. His heart was faint, but dropping dead or refusing to walk would do him nothing close to good. "Why are there no wandering warriors on patrol?"He remonstrated, advancing towards the plains. A realization dawned on him,"Even if many died in the war, but I left few back at home. Aren't they supposed to be worried about me?"He was now walking through the plains. "And there is no horse. What fate is this. Why do I fall into wrong hands over and over again."The view up ahead of him was blurry because of the hotness of the sun. He could hardly take a long s

He took a long gulp of it, not allowing the bitter taste to ruin his motivation. "Like shit. But it's a relief that I won't die. Let that choad just wait till I recover, he would wish he didn't know me."He tried to lie back down, after handing the cup back to his daughter. She looked inside the cup,"There's still some portion left. It'll work together.""Malisa?"Wealene called, after getting comfortable. "Yes father?"His face housed a thin smile,"How about you be a good daughter and take the remaining portion for me."She rolled her eyes at him,"Why would I ? Was I the one who was bitten by the dick of a God?"She tried to laugh stealthily but he caught her. "So, now you're against your only father?"
