Senora The burning lava substance made it's way towards Aisling, as screams from the crowd filled the air around us, a combination of shock, fear, and anger as to what they were seeing of their elders.Rieka immediately stepped between Aisling and the burning material, stopping it with her powers."A little help would be nice!" Rieka yelled as she pushed her feet into the dirt to brace herself.You know how they say everything was in slow motion? Well, it wasn't. I didn't even have a chance to react as I watched from the porch, a mixture of emotions coursing through my body. I was completely clueless about how to react, and if it wasn't for Rieka ...."Colton, what the fuck are we supposed to do?! They're our elders!"Colton turned and looked at me with an equally confused and shocked expression. "You're asking me?! The fuck if I know!"Cerulean shook his head. "Rhi is the only one of us that can actually stop them without fighting them .....""We fu.cking SHOULD be fucking fighting t
FionaThe air was eerily quiet around us as the sun set in the background, making the sky look like it was angry, or possibly embarrassed. I honestly couldn't tell which.It was as if nature itself knew the severity of what I had just done, and was shocked into silence. Not a tweet from a bird, a bark from a squirrel, nor a rustle of leaves from the wind, as there wasn't even a slight breeze. I couldn't even hear the water splash from Seneca Lake. It was like everything stopped to contemplate the meaning of life. After I swallowed the scratchy lump that had formed in my throat, I opened my mouth to speak, my voice hoarse thanks to the fire that had escaped it. "Why don't you all go home and try to relax for the night. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for showing up and supporting me. The others and I have a lot to discuss and try to figure out."As if the Earth's silence became their own, the group of water fairies that stood behind me quietly dispersed.I turned around and
FionaI felt like a child in a classroom as we all looked at the two gray-haired women standing before us. Their combined aura was more intimidating than I cared to admit. I got the impression that Anne was much older than Aisling, despite looking like she was the younger of the two."I'll make this as short as possible, as I have somewhere else I'm needed that's honestly a lot more important than being here, explaining things to you .....""Short, but obviously not sweet," Dhara quipped from Matthew's lap with a smirk as Sharia and Maya giggled.My eyes widened as they went from Anne, to Dhara, and back to Anne again."Just like your mother, aren't you?" Anne asked as she glared at Dhara.Aisling rolled her eyes, clicking her tongue in irritation. "You all just need to shut up for once and listen to Anne. She knows more than all of you put together. It wouldn't exactly hurt you to have a mentor of her standards."Anne smiled as Dhara's face fell. "Aisling and I have known each other f
Levi"Levi, you know I love you. I will always love you." Her sky-blue eyes contained the tears she refused to let fall. She was my best friend, the one I confided everything to, and now she is leaving. So many lives have come and gone from my own over the years. It never gets any easier and this one was by far the worse."Save it, Samara. I don't want to hear it. You're basically signing your death certificate doing this, and you know it." I turned away from the hard stare of her eyes to look out the window of the living room and into the darkness of the night. I just couldn't face her right now, not while my brain was going a million miles per minute.She sighed in frustration, putting her golden brown hair on top of her head in a messy bun. The beautiful, unmated woman who was perfectly chosen to produce children for me years ago was now irritated with traditions, the fact that she's living a secret life, and also with me. I honestly don't blame her, not one bit, but purity is the
Fiona"If they think I'm getting dressed up for a worthless party, they have another thing coming!" I yelled out as I swung the sword at the training dummy standing in front of me as if the straw and wood were responsible for the ignorant old school ways of the fairies. Training always brought me peace and eased my frustrations, and this time was no different. Or so I thought."Fiona! What on Earth are you doing! If mom catches you she's going to completely come unglued!" the annoying voice that belonged to Niamph, one of my three sisters, caught my attention and caused my training to come to a halt as she walked onto the training grounds. I put the sword back in it's sheath and hung it on the training dummy where I found it."Gee wiz, sis! Thanks for your concern!" I rolled my eyes in irritated sarcasm. "And now, thanks to you, I'm no longer training. Do you care to tell me what you're bothering me for?"Niamph's red and brown eyes sparkled and her fire orange-red hair flowed freely a
LeviI was sitting at one of the many round tables with Sol, Celeste, and a few of the other deities that I have somehow managed to get along with these days and trying to enjoy myself as much as my children were."Levi, would it kill you to actually have a good time? You look positively miserable." Selene took a sip from her wine glass as we all sat around eating, drinking, and carrying on with needless conversation.I was honestly enjoying the break in the night's theatrics while we all waited for the future princesses to get ready to be announced. Selene had her midnight hair pulled back so tight it looked like it gave her a facelift, giving her an extremely youthful look. Why women do that to themselves is beyond me. Crazy. They're all crazy. I tilted my head and raised an eyebrow in her direction. "Really? You're going to judge me for not acting like a drunken fool? What about your partner in crime? Where's he at? Why aren't you judging him for not being here?"Sol and Celeste con
FionaThe lake was beautiful this time of night with the moonlight dancing across the top of it, and now was the perfect time to test out the abilities of the suit that I managed to make. The suits themselves are meant for warriors as they are not only built to help conceal underneath any color of water, but they also have the ability to stick with us while we shift, no matter what specific water fairy we are.Because of the fact that my sisters and I will be going in our own directions soon, specific warriors were chosen to train at home in preparation for traveling with us to our new realms. I may or may not have stolen multiple suits from them to make my own, causing a blame game and more needing to be brought in. I recommended them going nude, but no one was nearly as amused as I was about it.I dove head first off of the tall cliff into the water below, and my skin tingled with pleasure as soon as contact was made. I swam around, covering distance quickly to make sure that I was i
LeviI was sitting in my den in the basement, attempting to talk with Sol, but in all honesty my heart just wasn't into it."Where the hell did you disappear to the other night? ....... Dad? You still there?"I barely heard Sol's voice come from the phone because, to be honest, I flat out wasn't paying attention. "Huh? Oh. I decided to leave before everyone got into the heavy liquor. You know how I can't stand to be around a bunch of drunks. That scene is just not for me.""What's up with you today? Usually I can carry a decent conversation with you, but you really seem out of it. Is everything ok?" "I'm sorry, I've just got a lot on my mind right now. Everything is fine, it's just, I'm over thinking things I guess." I hated lying. I hated making my children worry and stress over things. But now wasn't the time to disclose what exactly was going on with me."Let me guess, a combination of mom and the business?"I liked that. That I could work with and play along with. "Yeah, you coul
