The president gave up on getting an answer out of the rebel, so he unpinned her hand from the bars and then half dragged her back to where she was lying down in the corner of the cell. Her consciousness warned her that she was about to slip away into hibernation so she tried reasoning with him some more."If you do not take me up, I will have to sleep the night away."He turned his attention to the nearby barrel and opened the lid."What a twisted way to say that your strange as* electricity would disconnect otherwise, so what is so bad about that for me?"Right there from where Amalthea limped, her hand reached out to clutch his foot in panic."Now that I have found you, I am just not ready to leave you alone, my beloved."After measuring her pair, she knew he was not weak, far from that actually, he was perhaps the strongest human being she had ever met, he took great care of his body that looked and felt like a man's armor, the quality of his magnetic field was also healthy, she kn
Every living thing had its own life force.Nymphs recognized the different qualities of each energy and took care of the world this way. When the destined day came by, a life force would change its shape to take on the next type that suited it.Whether the creatures were ready for the change or not had little to do with the destined time for that change to happen.Supreme life forces like those that belonged to humans had a difficult time accepting the change once it happened, regardless of when it does, as if no human's life force had ever changed shape before, they lived their lives oblivious to the upcoming event or simply ignoring it altogether.Many humans immediately went into denial whenever that promised moment caught up with them.It was true that Hector and Jason were determined to reach Paradise no matter what, but not once have they seriously considered that a ticket to Paradise would cost them their lives.And so, the two men began going into heavy denial as they started
Far from Paradise, on the president's victorious ship, a barefoot Hylas was running to his room seeking privacy.He hoped that no unlucky man would be off the deck after he ordered them to feast until the next day, that man would surely face all the wrath that he had built up inside of him right now.Hylas had made a grave mistake that led him to this run of shame, he had trusted the witch's deceptiveness when she announced that she was to be out for the entire night.This caused him to lower his guard and prevented him from anticipating how a body of a woman, even a fake one, was so bewitching, that he had gone through an episode of temporary madness.'Madness is what that was and nothing short of it'He was sure that her electricity was no more when he first started pouring the dark thick tar over her, but when madness took over, he failed to recognize when she got plugged in again, he let her seduce him into kissing her not so long after."Thank fu*c I did not go further"He would
The president's bare feet had finally managed to carry him back to the kitchen.'Too fu*king late'He had stopped at the entrance to the kitchen feeling like an ice bucket got emptied right above his hot head when he realized that his prisoner was no longer alone.Instead of assessing the strength of the intruder aboard his victorious ship, the first thing his eyes searched for then saw was her, he could not deny that he was abnormally drawn to her.'Like a tiny piece of metal in front of a gigantic as* magnet'She was back to being the porcelain doll with lush pitch-black satin hair that was completely wet for once, the water was dripping from the locks provocatively, like small beads of sweat, and it gave her hair a shade darker as if that was even possible.Her attention and her dark dark eyes were not all over the president for once, pissing him off to no amends.The alligator tears she shed not too long ago were long gone. It was true that he had just met her, and there was no wa
On the victorious human ship that had managed to re-write history as mankind knew it; there was a commotion in the kitchen. The three species who stood there were oblivious to the fact that this particular event would turn their lives upside down.They could never have predicted how this fateful dusk would be remembered as a time for unmeasurable regrets."…He is my pair."The powerful nymph that had been dominating the battle moments before was nowhere to be found, her confession was a mere whisper, like a secret that was not even hers to tell.'How could I have not seen this coming'The imposter stared incredulously at his betrothed as the nymph squeezed her so-called pair right over her sacred heart, he had only seen her taking a human form twice in all the centuries he had known and loved her, her beautiful human form was not comparable to her spirit form, and he had always wondered how she would look like in the third form she had no idea existed in her cocktail altogether.He wa
"Not while I am near, you do not."The powerful medium approached to comfort her, offering her his own energy, their nature took over them, he held her by the elbow and tugged her closer to him, their connection dulled the pain her pair caused her instantly, but the wound he had opened was so deep that there was no way around her soon to come fall, the sun outside was already setting and her chances to harvest were next to nothing, her pair would not allow her to anyhow.Just as her inner energy cried out for help again, and the second she had enough awareness to read what her ex was about to do, though her pair had already given permission for the kiss, she shrieked at him."PLEASE not in front of my pair!"Hibernation took over her, but the imposter's instincts complied at once, as he lifted the heiress by the waist and had his water wrap her long legs around him, he spun around facing his betrothed's pathetic excuse of a pair.His dark eyes made sure he had a full view of the two o
The queen hated every word that came out of his mouth.What she hated more was her inability to deny it, she knew deep down inside that keeping Amalthea in the dark was the best option for everyone back then, but it was never meant to last this long, her memories were supposed to come back to her slowly, the barrier's intelligence was to decide the pace on its own, according to her willingness to face the truth."What if she is not ready to remember yet? What happens to everyone then?""This is not what worries you, who do you think you are talking to?!""YES!... I AM AFRAID! … I cannot lose her, I cannot lose her forever...""...This was all alright before, this was fine as long as he was not a part of the equation we were trying to solve. Things have drastically changed now.""...Who is her pair?""Other males were calling him president, he must be the current ruler of Men's Island.""This is just…""Cruel? Funny?...""Is he…could he be a descendent?""Does it matter?""It matters t
Chloe and Cassia did not get a wink of sleep that night, anxiously waiting for the two men to come back to their senses.They had changed the men's clothes completely and washed them before letting them inside to dry hanging by the fire hearth right where soup was prepared, the necessary food, unfortunately, remained in the pot waiting for the men to wake up. Healthwise, both men were breaking into fevers every couple of hours so that was dealt with as well, the main thing was to keep them hydrated by pressing wet cloths over their lips while keeping their body temperature under control.Both sisters had seen men come and go from and to their island before, even if they had not been within close proximity to a man before, having already decided on getting pregnant this winter, they did not shy away from their bodies or their touch, they were sincerely sorry for what happened to the men's boat, and they were waiting patiently for them to get well soon.***The feast aboard the victori
