There were some warriors around the border, they moved back as the strange being coming from nowhere in a whirl of water, and it began to take shape.They looked more closely with their sharp eyes and saw that the being had scales like a mermaid's and the skin color was pale green. They wondered what kind of being it was. It looked human, except for the previous descriptions that differentiated it from a human.It was female, and her mouth was filled with many tiny black teeth with a tiny forked tongue. They had never seen this creature before and didn't know what to do.“You! Go and call the attention of our King,” one of the lead warriors yelled. ~Water was slashed on the guards face, and he woke up in a panicked state. “What strange being?” Asher asked him immediately, not bothering to wait for him to regain his mind’s consciousness because he knew if what he suspected was true, he didn’t have much time to waste. “Yes, my lord. We don't know what it is, but you have to come, my
Alpha Asher's POVI growled out in pain and held onto Sam’s hands. “Is there anything we can do to save him?” I asked her. “Yes, let's hurry to the palace. He doesn't have much time,” the sorceress urged.We got to the palace and then the healer came, checked his pulse and found out he was still alive. “I'll need everyone to go out while I take care of him for now,” the healer urged.I went out of the room with the sorceress and let out a sigh of relief as I could see that there was still hope for Sam. “Where is Marsai?”“She is in her quarters, my king.”I went over to see Marsai in her room and saw her shivering out of shock. She had probably never expected Polyphemus to be this scary.I moved closer to her on the bed and sat beside her, then I brought her head closer to my shoulder and I held her cold hands.“It's alright, you are fine now.”I hugged her, so she could feel better in any way, as I had begun to care about her. I could feel her pain as she began to sob, and her te
Marsai’s POVWe stopped in the middle of nowhere and were panting hard. It seemed like we were still far from any other kingdom. I looked at Sam, he looked a bit pale, he needed to rest.I walked over to him and told him to sit under a big tree, then I brought him fruits to eat so he could regain his strength. I wanted to see him looking better before I leave. If I continued to stay, Polyphemus was going to do more and many lives would be endangered. Sam had tried for me in his own way even when his plans for me kept failing as this one would. But his intentions were good enough for me to care."Uhm... Sam, rest well. I want to get us some squirrels , rocks, and good branches. We would get hungry soon.""It's alright, I'll go with you. It would be easier that way.""No, look at you. You look pale, you need to get some rest. Those fruits I gave you will replenish your energy," I insisted."Alright, do not take long. My brother could be searching for us now.""I'll be back soon," I ass
Alpha Asher's POVI growled out in anger and pain as I watched Marsai taken by Polyphemus. I fell to my knees, weakened and felt defeated. My warriors watched how Marsai disappeared. They all bowed down in front of me, telling me they deserve death.I stood up and rode my horse back to the palace, then called for the sorceress. A few minutes later, the sorceress came in.“How do I meet with Polyphemus?”“That is unknown, my king,” the sorceress answered.“So, what do I do now? What do I do now!” I shouted.“My king, you both are now worlds apart.” the sorceress said.“There has to be something we can do, there has to be a way.”“For now, there is no way except he releases her on his own free will.”“Why is it Marsai she wants in everything I have!” I bellowed, feeling frustrated.“Because there is something special about her,” she said. “She must have something odd which made her unique. It is the only reasonable reason why she will take her.”“So, now he thinks he is granting her a wi
Dark MoonMarsai’s POVI wondered why Polyphemus went inside the cave. Did I annoy her? As I was about to go into the cave to check what was going on, and the Polyphemus was already coming outside. I moved backward as she came closer. She had already dropped the fruits that were with him.Then she signaled for me to follow her. She was heading towards the sea and when we got there, she made the sea calm and able to reflect whoever looks into it.“Look into the water, what do you see?” She asked, with a poker expression.“Myself,” I replied, looking baffled and trying to understand what she was up to.“Can't you see how pretty you are?” She asked with a smile on his face.“I can.” I replied. “Good, never call yourself ugly again,” she said, with an expression that spells accomplished.And then she turned back to the cave, I followed her and thought of what to say while we were going back to the cave.“When you are done sightseeing, you can leave,” Polyphemus said, with her big and maj
Marsai’s POVIt was the next day and I could see preparations were being made for today's event. I was getting anxious and clueless about what to do. There was no way I could escape as I was inside a cage.I looked around, I could see they were going to prepare a feast too, then one of the warriors opened the cage and dropped food for each of us, then he closed the door back.I watched as the other captives in my cage ate like hungry dogs and were munching on their food. They were barely taking time to chew their food well.“I'll advise you eat because after this, there'll be no food for today again and if after thirty minutes, you're not done with the food, it would be taken away from you.” The confident captive explained, with food filled in her mouth.I took my food up and began to eat, it tasted nice but looked too small to enjoy it. I devoured the food as fast as I could, and then I slept, minutes after. I woke up an hour later and noticed our cage had been moved to the far end of
Alpha Asher's POVThe next day, Sam and I gathered a few warriors and mounted on our horses, preparing to search for Marsai in the forest.“Remember, this is the chance to show me how much of a warrior you are,” I told him with a smile.Sam smiled back, and then we started moving with our horses at a fast pace. I started tracking her with my blood, which is still in her.“How far is she?” Sam asked, with beads of sweat on his forehead.“Still very far, she went far away. Let’s move!”We got to where I had met Sam the other day and found tracks that show she was dragged. The feeling that she wasn't too far became stronger, and I signalled to the others to ride at my pace.About thirty minutes later, I had gotten to a kingdom, I felt her presence strongly, and I rode into that kingdom and observed they are having some sort of tradition, and then I spotted Marsai.A warrior stood before her, it seemed like they wanted her to fight with him. That's like making her bow at death's feet. The
Marsai’s POVA few days later, I began to enjoy school the more and even bonded more with Tasha. I had also resolved issues with Sam, I knew I tricked him, which was so not right, but he forgave me and now, we're cool.I was in class and the teacher had not arrived, so, i and Tasha began to talk.“I keep smiling every time I realize you're really here, Marsai. Those days, I was so bored in school without you,” Tasha kept repeating every few hours.“I missed you too, and I know I have missed numerous things,” I winked at her, indicating I was talking about Adam.“Oh my, you really know how to make a person blush,” Tasha blushed, covering her face with both hands. "So, tell me,” I whispered, giving her another wink. Tasha laughed a lot as I did and said many things that made her laugh. I also told her my experience when I was captured by the other Kingdom. Although, I left Polyphemus' part out. When it was closing, I went towards the entrance, hoping to meet the guards as usual. But
