Blend On The Water Astoria Queens Novels & Stories

The sea breeze carrying the fresh scent of salt brushed against Avery’s face as Ashton opened the car door for her. Before them stretched soft white sand blending seamlessly with the blue Atlantic Ocean at the edge of New York’s horizon. The rhythmic sound of crashing waves created a calming natural symphony, far from the blaring horns and concrete bustle of Manhattan. This place was a hidden paradise, a private area specially chosen to become the silent witness to the union of their vows.

The cool night breeze ruffled Carver's hair as he approached the dock, its wooden planks worn smooth from countless feet over the years. The faint glow of the dock's lights reflected off the gentle ripples of the water, painting a serene picture. At the very end, Ava sat there with her legs dangling over the edge, her silhouette outlined by the soft luminescence of the moonlit water. Peyton's voice momentarily interrupted the gentle lapping of waves, attempting to bring levity, "Don't jump. It isn't that serious."

It sat high up on a cliffside that rose high above the sea, the crashing waves thundered against the rock and the pounding of the waves spoke of death from its depths. There was no snow on the ground, the north was the only one to still be affected by the snow, and only a cold wind whipped across the land. Adelaides hair whipped across her face as they stood on the beach. Adam shifted on his feet beside her and she felt his nervousness as his eyes darted around his surroundings. The cold air bit into her skin and spray from the sea hit her in a refreshing wash. It would have been peaceful if it didn’t hold a sinister tinge to the air.

Without the city lights, a million stars sparkled in the sky while below us the Pacific Ocean was a blanket of black. I gasped as Bella came into view. In a sea of nothingness, blue LED lighting glowed like an aura surrounding the monstrous yacht. The closer we flew, the better I could see what Rei referred to as a big boat. Holy crap. It wasn’t a big boat; it was a superyacht. I counted at least four levels, with a swimming pool and hot tub, both glowing with underwater lights. A Mexican flag flew from the rear deck. “Why the flag?” I asked.

Terran The blue sky bleeding into the blue water had captured my attention. I couldn’t look away. I wanted to chase the horizon, go where the sky and the water became one. I stood on the sandy beach watching the waves roll in and out, my surfboard tucked under my arm. It was so peaceful. The sun was setting lower in the sky, changing the blue hues to deep oranges and yellows. I could pretend my life was perfect. Forget about everything and just be.

This is going to take longer than I thought. “Queen Asteria only kills men at sea. No women or children are harmed by her or her people, which is more than I can say for some shifter’s even some human’s. Her people only attack to preserve their way of life, their food source. Queen Asteria has already agreed to this treaty. All she asks is that her and her people are left alone. She rules the tides as long as she remains in the water and is not provoked. She will not be a problem. If that condition isn’t met then she will march her people on land and kill without mercy. Sirens in and out of the water are the ultimate predators. No-one will be safe.” I shudder at the thought of the siren quee

LUNA POV I am in Hector's car now. I got the chance to sleep for more than two hours since we arrived in that hotel this morning. Hector woke me up to join him for lunch. We ate some kinds of seafood and the taste was amazing. Looking from the outside, I am enjoying the beauty of this place. Hector told me that we were in Astoria. The seaside town of Astoria borders both the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia River in far northwest Oregon. I can see the antique streets with several visitor magnets, like restaurants and boutiques. We also passed by the Captain George Flavel House Museum and the Oregon Film Museum. I've never been to this place before. Hector stopped the car. As I went out of the

Her kind blue eyes blinked at me with so much assurance and between the sound of the water gently hitting the rocks and the wind brushing past the trees, there was a sense of peace that was embedded in this moment right now. “Yes… I… I agree.” I told her before she gestured me to come nearer and she turned me to face the skies. We watched as the sun dipped below the horizon, the fleeting colors of dusk started to slowly fade away. The dark black rocks that were scattered around the shore shimmered beautifully before the dark fell upon them and you could barely see them in the night. Asteria’s words echoed in my mind over and over again. “You’re still here so that means you still have a lot t

When Asteria rises up on her tail, her upper body and some of her lower body out of the water. “Hello little one, my name is Queen Asteria and I am very good friends with your family. Why don’t you go and play with my family? Artemis, come forward.” I watch as Artemis swims closer to the rocks that surround the cove as she pulls herself up onto the rock. Her beautiful blue fin was still in the water, her violet silver eyes watching Rosa when she smiles at her. “Come, little one, we won’t hurt you.” She waves over to Rosa who is bouncing now like a shaken bottle of soda ready to pop as she runs towards Artemis and I chuckle at her excitement as Charlie comes closer to me.
