A Queen Among Tides Chapter 48: Confronting a King - Eisa
With my hand clutching my father’s arm, I remain frozen to the spot as the announcement that came over the kingdom rings in my ears. I haven’t tried coke since the 60s but I’m still one hundred per cent certain I’m not fucking high, but I sure as shit wish I were. An hour ago Sebastian was hunting for Lemuel and on the brink of a mental breakdown, now he’s announcing to the kingdom that the uber-cunt Circe is his animai and soon-to-be Queen. That can only mean one thing: Circe got her hands on ocean jasper just like Isolde warned us about and now she’s controlling Sebastian. I think I’m going to throw up. Our future Kings are now under the control of a psychotic madwoman. “If this is a prank, this is by far the worst prank that boy has ever pulled,” says my father warily, though I can see in his eyes he knows this is no prank. “We need to find the King and Queen,” I say as I find my voice. My father nods and we immediately take off in search of their majesties and are fortunate to
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 49: Protecting Her Kings - Eisa
As soon as I see his body relax I once again take the form of water and use the bowl to begin teleporting to Circe’s location. I find her almost immediately. From a small glass vase of water, I can see her in her bedroom standing in front of a full-length mirror as she speaks to… wait, is that Isolde?! Standing in the mirror looking back at Circe is a woman who sure as hell looks like Isolde, but her expression looks so hard and cold, which is the complete opposite of what I saw when I met her. This has to be Manon disguised as Isolde, and I can see why so many people bought into the lie. I mean, hard not to when as far as anyone can tell, Isolde is standing there about to commit who knows what atrocity. “I have given you everything you’ve asked for. You have to have something that can help me,” Circe begs. “You seem to think I care about you and your Prince’s erectile dysfunction. You also seem to think I work for you. We had a transactional agreement. Both ends were upheld, and I
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 50: Fighting For Him - Lemuel
I lay on the harsh cold floor catching my breath, grateful for the small reprieve from the onslaught of pain coursing through my body. I can now take in just how weak and brutalised my body feels. The fresh blisters that reside on my lips, neck, ear, chest, and dick are a pain secondary only to the pain in my heart. I don’t feel betrayed, I feel helpless. I’ve never felt so helpless in my life. I’m useless. Filled with a God's magic and yet unable to tap into any of it. Forced to lay here and endure the pain of that rapist as she assaults the love of my life. As I wallow in despair and tears burn my ears only to disappear into the stone beneath my face, the sound of fighting reaches my ears. I wipe away my tears and summon my remaining strength to sit up on my knees just as I see one of those bastard guards come flying through the door and hit the far wall. My eyes blow wide in surprise as I see Eisa hanging in the air outside the door holding onto… a stream of water, with a ferociou
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 51: Wish Granted - Lemuel
As my eyes adjust to our new location, I look, only to be met with the nauseating sight of Circe laying on Sebastian’s bed up against him as she caresses his cheek and I immediately want to vomit while simultaneously ripping her hands from her body. How dare she fucking touch him?! Circe’s eyes widen in shock and rage when she sees us, causing her to leap from the bed, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” She spits. “Reuniting him with his real animai,” Eisa taunts, “Oh, and I kicked your minion's asses.” That’s an understatement. I think she might have killed them. Can’t say I’ll be shedding a tear for them anytime soon though. “Eisa, what the fuck is going on?” Sebastian asks as he gets to his feet. His eyes fall on me but there's no recognition in them at all and it feels like a dagger through my heart. It's like he's staring at a stranger and part of me feels the same way. There's something so vacant about his face. My Sebastian isn't like that. He wears his every emotio
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 52: Awakening - Sebastian
I feel like I’m waking up from a deep sleep, only I don’t remember ever falling asleep. I remember a heaviness weighing me down and then jolts of electricity breaking through the fog. I could feel comfort and warmth moving through me and a familiar voice calling out to me. I didn’t understand what was going on, but I knew I could trust that voice and the warmth they were giving me. I reached for them and did what they said, and suddenly it’s like being woken up by a shot of adrenaline to the heart. Every emotion and sensation is hitting me at once and behind it all is a level of pain so excruciating I can’t even put it into words. As the pain dissipates, I blink rapidly and take in my surroundings and as I turn my head I see Lemuel, bent on all fours, drained of colour, soaking wet with ghastly marks on his skin. "Lemuel?" I ask with concern as the fog continues to lift. His electric eyes look at me full of exhaustion, but he still manages a weak smile before his eyes roll back and h
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 53: Agonising Wait - Sebastian
Three days. It’s been three days and Lemuel still hasn’t woken up. I’m going out of my mind. I’ve done everything I possibly can, and that’s not saying much because the truth is, there’s nothing I can do but make him comfortable. We called on makkares who are friendly with our kingdom, to heal Lemuel, but they said there was nothing that could be done. The makkares said that while Lemuel’s curse prevents him from ever truly dying, it also prevents him from being healed by outside influences. It’s like Merlos wanted to make sure he would suffer in every way imaginable throughout his eternal life. I never hated Merlos for what she did to Lemuel. After learning about his past, I can understand where she comes from, but even humans have prison sentences. I don’t even think Lemuel’s crimes would result in life in prison in a human criminal system, and – not to sound callous – his family died centuries ago. How long is he meant to suffer for something he did so long ago that most of the wor
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 54: A Father Apologises - Sebastian
I begin to stir awake when I feel the sheets around me being moved and the sensation of someone touching my hair. I startle awake only to look up at the concerned face of my father, and only then do I begin to relax. “Sorry, son. You were shivering in your sleep, so I was just tucking you in more,” he says kindly. I rub my eyes and look over at the clock only to realise it’s eight in the morning. I slowly sit up with a yawn and immediately look down only to find Lemuel still unchanged and my heart instantly sinks. He just looks like he’s sleeping peacefully without a care, and yet the sight of it wounds me every time I open my eyes to find him exactly how he was when I closed my eyes. I run my fingers through my hair and lean my head against the headboard. Five days now and still no change. I feel like I’m on the brink of screaming and ripping my hair out. I don’t know how much longer I can take this. “I know this is a lot for anyone to bear. Seeing your soulmate in pain… there’s
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 55: His Queen's Wrath - Haemon
I was hoping to spend more time talking with Sebastian and being there for him and Lemuel, especially since I have much to make up for in regard to my mistreatment of their relationship. But when I felt Callista’s rage and grief crash over me like a tidal wave, I had to adjust my priorities. I know Callista was going to the cells to check on everything with Circe, and I have to wonder what was said or done to cause this much fury in my sweet, graceful Queen.As I walk through the palace at a quick pace, my Elite Guards, Rhea and Pierce follow closely behind me.“Is something the matter, Your Majesty?” Rhea asks.“Something has enraged my Queen. I want to know what that is,” I inform them. 'Pearl, what’s wrong?' I ask through my link with Callista as I make my way to the cells. Her thoughts and emotions are so chaotic right now that I don’t want to push and invade her mind to better understand them.Callista and I learned long ago that there is a time and place to use our bond in that
