Trion looked for a best way to appreciate Tia for what she had done but couldn't find one. Wow, she had helped Araxie to come around, what else would he ever ask for! Quickly he picked Tia from the ground and embarrassed her while he cried. The whole situation had left him emotional. "Today you've proved that you aren't just a mere bird, but you're my mom. You've done what a mother would've done for her son. Thank you mother. I always doubted my thinking but after today, I feel like calling you mother for the rest of my days. You're my beautiful mother Tia. I'm so happy that you never left me. I love you so much Mom."He was planting kisses everywhere on Tia's wings."W-where...a...am I ?"Araxie later asked after her eyes had fell open. She didn't remember how she returned back there in the cave. The only memory she had was that she was swimming to the top. "Why did you bring me back. You knew I wanted to go home, you should've helped me take me to the top instead you brought me back
"They used to visit the bridge every evening. I guess...."Judith said eating her fingers out of fear."You're even not sure! Oh my gosh, this woman wants to waste my time." Marina was naturally rude!"I think you have a problem with me personally."Judith pointed. "At least I'm guessing, and you... what are you even doing. It's like you've come only to follow me around."she added. Judith was always a soft woman and everyone knew that fact, but she was so different when the matter was about her daughters."Are you challenging me now? Am I following you around? Anyways, I believe you are right about that. I've been following you around because I expected something from you but not anymore! You're just good for nothing like every other human. You said they're here but I can't see anybody around. I hope you aren't going to ask me to jump into the river to search for them. Hahaha!!! But I don't blame you Judith. I blame the fact that you're a human, so innocent and brainless."Wait! Was sh
The next time Marina opened her eyes, it was already morning of the next day. She had to go back to the Sea. She hoped to find either Araxie or her corpse.Thank God Araxie froze before making it to the Sea surface otherwise Marina could've found her.Marina and her sailors were seen searching as much as they could but didn't find anything.This left Marina with no choice but to declare her dead.It didn't take long before people gathered at Marina's house to sympathize with her.Hoping that Araxie was still alive, Judith and her daughters never felt the need to go to Marina's house.Judith too was convinced after Sarah told her what exactly had been happening in Araxie's life."I hope he saves her this time as well."Judith breathed after listening to everything.Elsewhere, Trion returned after crying his pain out. "The water is no longer cold, let's go."he said.Wait! What's going on?"Are you sure you want this?"Araxie asked looking at how strange Trion was behaving. A moment ago he
"Oh no! I will say it again.""Ahaa..."Trion looked like someone waiting to hear something interesting, with his right brow raised."Don't give me that look.""Oh my God! She's shy again."he sighed through clenched teeth.Due to shyness, Araxie began holding her dress, looking at her feet like she was discovering something new about them. "I like playing with water. It feels cool."she wanted to divert."Sure. I love it too especially using my tail, but I don't think it's the same story with you cos so far you've drowned twice and froze once. I don't think you love playing with water.""I said playing with water and not playing in water. These two are different. One can play with water on a dry land.""You've won ma'am but something is still pending."Araxie was praising herself that she managed to change the topic little did she know that Trion was still on it. Reminding her wouldn't cost him anything."So difficult to convince! What will you gain from taunting me?""Everything. You w
"The Queen's bead! I once read it somewhere long time ago. I saw its images but I never thought it's real. I thought it was only the author's fiction but.... How did you get it. I saw that only Queens of the sea have one. And why does it listen to you? Tell us Araxie."Aurora was asking a lot."Yes Araxie, how sure are you that it will listen to you.""It will surely listen to me. In fact it has already done so with Aurora's healing. A moment ago ma'am was wondering what to do about her condition but look now... look at her..""My condition. What condition?""Nothing.""Did you tell your bead?"Judith asked with a simple smile but filled with dissatisfaction."Yes ma'am.""Wow. I can't believe it though."Sara was left astonished."I can do a lot more than that.""Tell us how you got it. We're all curious as you can see."It was indeed a long story and she couldn't bring herself to tell it all to these story hungry lovers."I will tell you everything one by one.""It's okay."Thinking o
"No Mom, don't give up so easily. You have to fight back. You simply can't leave me like that. I'm coming to help you."I said but mother stopped me, "Don't come here please. This creature is very evil my child. I won't show you any mercy at all. Listen to me and run away dear. I don't want him to kill you too. You still have a wonderful life to live my dear child."she said as the vampire was pulling her on the ground, taking her from the road.I was left frightened that I even feared to get inside the car. My eyes had swollen and my lips and noise had turned red. I was trembling so much but all I could do was calling out for my mother but I guess it was too late.Wondering what to do next,I entered the car and thought of driving when I didn't know anything about the car. I didn't even know how to start it.I had thought of hiding in the car when I saw a group of six men coming. I could've shouted for help but I felt I shouldn't. They looked strange to me and I found it hard to believe
"I'm sure slapping my daughter wasn't a part of this, right?"Araxie had nothing to say other than nodding."Then why did you hit her, huhh?""Sh...she was talking ill about me... I mean my friend."Oh no! She almost exposed herself but thank God Marina didn't mind."So what? What if she said dirty about her, how does it concern you?"On hearing that, Araxie immediately fell down on her knees since she couldn't believe that Marina could ever say such a thing! "This means Judith was right and this woman here.... she doesn't love me any bit. She doesn't care if I live or die."she breathed in realization.This left some people shocked along with Araxie. They too didn't expect such words from a mother's mouth."Follow me dear."Marina grabbed her daughter's hand and took her inside the house.Araxie who was planning to go and apologise to Judith later changed her mind and followed those two enemies of hers. "You've left me with no choice but to stalk on you both. I have to know what's going
"Did you say wife? So... you remarried?""Unfortunately yes. When Tia left on my special day, I was shattered. I couldn't think right anymore and instead of being happy for a new journey, I was feeling lonely and all lost in thoughts.I couldn't imagine life without her by my side and before I knew it, the committee proposed that I should choose any random woman and crown her my queen because they were already angry with Tia's decision.""And then... Did you just choose her in a haste? Like they didn't give you time to find another woman of your choice.""I didn't choose anyone since I couldn't bring myself to. The committee members are the ones who chose her for me and made me crown her as my new queen."Beryl was already in tears."I'm sorry sir."Araxie found herself apologizing even when she knew it wasn't her fault at all."I remember I vowed not to share any physical relationship with Malinda whom they chose for me.She was so beautiful and lovely with a sexy body but I couldn't b
