Not very late that morning, the long-awaited ship had finally docked. Ten men appeared and formed a row, right after they took ten steps ahead, the impossible happened before the men's eyes that were eager to see their legendary mortal enemy, the one they had only read about in the books of the fathers.Hands tied behind her back, feet chained dragging an iron ball, a beauty with thick dark coal-colored hair, the fairest of all skins, and eyes that matched the darkness of her hair color walked alone slowly.Ten steps after her, the president and five more men started following, no one in the crowd saw the men who walked in the back, all eyes were on the angelic-looking creature in the middle.Amalthea dragged the iron ball with ease, her pair gave her specific instructions not to hurry, and so she refrained from doing so. The unified magnetic field of the crowd was one of complete bewilderment, but Amalthea knew how flickering testosterone was, she prepared the dignity that walked alo
Nature never overlooked ugliness or cruelty.On the contrary, many times it deliberately celebrated them. Nymphs believed opposites existed to highlight each other, so no nymph had ever failed to find good things about the worst situations they were forced to be in, Amalthea was not about to change that any time soon.'The best thing about leaving me hanging on a cross under the sun is that I will get to harvest today.'She was left with her pair alone after he had dismissed his men in black, her inner energy's constant celebration near her pair was at its dullest, her eyes that were so hungry for him sought the comfort of the earth again, and she felt the water's wish to wash her sacred body in this human form, and she patiently continued to hear the soft sobs of the winter wind, her most loyal companion that had followed her here to hell all the way from Paradise."You should have stayed in Paradise, my old friend."The president looked at his nymph sideways, he was forming new theo
Not so long after, in the women's village, Hector and Jason who were each in one of the two sisters' beds, had finally regained enough strength allowing both of them to wake up."Argh… it… burns…""H..Hector… Hector? Are you okay man?""Cough!... Cough! Jason… my man… is this hell?""Really?… the ungratefulness is painful...but welcome to Paradise."Hector and Jason turned to the very soft sound that felt so good as it reached their ears, there were two figures, standing in the shadow of the room that had thick curtains blocking all sunrays. The blurred figures were so new to their eyes, yet so familiar and right at the same time.The men's hearts started pounding in excitement.Eager to hear more of the softness and a bit disoriented still, Jason and Hector mumbled incoherently."We died, I mean, we drowned, it… we called death to our boat… and there was white hair...…. right?""Right… right… one thing is for sure… we died... that is right."Chloe and Cassia exchanged a look and nodd
"His name is not important, my beloved is a strong leader who will not take a warning about one of his men lightly."The annoyed look in his eyes turned into one of denial, it was a calculated move on Amalthea's part, she kept her words ambiguous enough to test his waters, she was content to see that her smart pair did not trust that man of his, not completely anyway.'His instinct is as faultless as ever.'"… You dare cause a rift between two men of the same blood? Do you plan on manipulating him enough until you put him up against me? A plan worthy of the devils, like you."Her pair pushed himself up, then spat next to her cross, a couple of decades old sadness was evident when she tested what had been distorting his magnetic field.'My pair is aware of the other man's deceit.'As soon as her pair stormed away from her, and before she could even think, a particular element sang to her from the earth's core, it offered her its main medium and requested an accord.While Amalthea was a
The president had no idea if what he was going through was due to his incompetence, or due to a spell the nymph had cast. But would she be petty enough to target his mirror now? There was no way for him to tell.What Hylas felt was not important, he can feel endlessly, so long as he did not let those feelings blind his judgment and affect his decisions making system. The one he worked so hard on over the years.'My plan will not change no matter what, my backup plan is to remain the same as well.'His little experiment with tar, the one that failed on her, was as good as it gets for a test on the weapon that he planned on using to bring back order to all mankind.'If this little tar proved effective, the weapon is promising indeed.'The last thing the president wanted was for his original plan to fail, because once he was sure it did, he was going to immediately switch to the backup plan, the one that he really did not want to go through.'No, I will not rethink what I had already dec
The two nymphs went back to trusting their essence to the earth, it gracefully carried them until they reached their heiress. After both had successfully accumulated in front of the cross, their spirit forms screamed in agony at the disagreeable sight, and the earth beneath Meliae cracked with her anger. The president who sat in his office, with a view of his nymph on her cross, also felt the slight earthquake."What is she up to now?"Amalthea quickly pulled both her followers into a mental connection, she did not want her pair to know what was going on, she was still in her human form for him to see her, and her followers were invisible to his human eyes.'Meli! Get your anger under control!''How could you let this happen to you…'Meliae's white eyes shone dangerously. While Anna's white eyes would have wept if she was still a human.'Who is he Amal, you found your pair haven't you. He could not have… could he? Was he the one who DARED cause all this to you?''That is only my busin
"YOU…!", "MELIAE!" Anna got the room's attention when her white eyes shone dangerously, a lot like Meliae's eyes were doing just a short while ago. Amalthea was the only one who was not surprised by her outburst, she could sense her becoming a ticking bomb for a few moments now, she knew her follower was about to explode at any second. "THE QUEEN OF NYMPHS HAS AN OFFER TO MAKE TO THE PRESIDENT, NOW EVERYONE BE QUIET AND HEAR OUT WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY." Everyone refrained from commenting afterward, Amalthea had seen it before, the quiet ones always scared a crowd whenever they lost it. She waved a hand to close the hole that was under her pair's feet and whispered to her wind to gently place him down. She was happy, for the second time just now, to witness his cousin visibly relax after her pair was back on the ground and out of harm's way. 'There is a history between these two that I must understand in order to judge the situation correctly.' Hylas felt conflicted, he was still impa
One thing was for sure, Amalthea's pair was incredibly smart. After the two nymphs and the heiress received Hylas's counteroffer, Amalthea asked herself one question.'Do I trust him?'The answer to her question was easy, the answer to her question was hard.'No, I do not'The nymph that he had in his arms during their first embrace, the one that bared her neck fully for him and wished their fall from the sky to last an eternity, that nymph was no more. While the significance of a nymph baring her neck to someone had nothing to do with survival, it had everything to do with the power of will, and surrender.It all came down to one thing and one thing alone. The nymph's sacred blood when they were in their human forms. To taste a nymph's blood was to have an ultimate power to order her, it was a lot like knowing a medium's name.Amalthea had longed since wondered what caused nature to come up with such a defect. Why would there be an option for creatures to rule over one another like t
