“How did I get here… How did I find myself bound, in love, happy, with an archangel?” I remember before, while I loved Lycaon, knowing of the existence of archangels and angels, but I had never met one. I remember thinking that they were all going to be self-centred, pompous jackasses, and then I metContinue reading “My Archangel: Our Love, Our Bond”

The Return of the Sea, Part 2
I awoke one morning, not too long after opening the Nymphaeum, and sighed. I knew that today would be the day. Since I had separated from Poseidon fully, I had felt the call to return to Olympus properly. “Ok, Amph…you can do this,” I told myself, and made my way to Poseidon’s dive bar toContinue reading “The Return of the Sea, Part 2”
Fates Collide: I Dance For A King
“The chains linked me to the bar, I could break them… but why would I?” Today was one of the hardest days of my life. Lycaon’s funeral. I had shifted to drakon form and very carefully picked up his bier with my back talons. People had argued with me, but I said I would takeContinue reading “Fates Collide: I Dance For A King”
The Last Door Closes Behind Us
“When one door closes, another opens… That’s what they tell you anyway.” I stood in the doorway of the cabin. This place that had become home to me faster than anywhere else, and I cried. I had been doing that a lot since Lycaon’s death, no one blamed me for feeling the way that IContinue reading “The Last Door Closes Behind Us”
The Return of the Sea, Pt 1
Should I give you a little history of who I am? Would that help in the coming days when I tell my current story and how I got here? Yes? Okay. To start, I am the oldest of fifty daughters born to Nereus and Doris. I am one of the Nereids, the female embodiment ofContinue reading “The Return of the Sea, Pt 1”
Moving Forward Step By Step
“This selfish decision he made… would shatter my bond with him for eternity…” This week has been a blur. Had it only been a week since I lost him? Had it only been such a short period of time since we started to move together finally, only to have his deal renegotiated? His name, whatContinue reading “Moving Forward Step By Step”
Morning Meditations
“My life will not be bound to yours, Jason… not anymore.” I woke up slowly, needing to stretch and I stood. “I’m going to go meditate love, I’ll be back soon,” I kissed the glass above Lycaons face and exited the cabin. As I walk, I shifted my black Victorian funeral dress into a chiton,Continue reading “Morning Meditations”
The Death Of My Heart
“I can’t go on… not without him…” I heard the words I had been dreading since I admitted to myself how I felt. “He’s, he’s dead.” Merlin had brought him back, teleported from some unknown place. He was himself badly injured, I was surprised he managed to get them back, but all I saw wasContinue reading “The Death Of My Heart”
I Make My Own Deal With The Devil
“Of all the fool things I could do… promising myself to him wasn’t on the list” I sent a fire message to Morgan, knowing she wanted to be left alone, but needing to tell her. “Morgan, I know you think you’re not wanted, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. For my part, IContinue reading “I Make My Own Deal With The Devil”
Admissions Abound
“All he ever needed to do was ask… and I would be his.” I heard a noise from downstairs and tried yelling out, only one person would be making that much noise in his own home. “Lycaon…” Lycaon’s voice grates from downstairs. “Can’t win shit for losing.” I heard him growl, digging his claws intoContinue reading “Admissions Abound”
