The wall melted. A cold sea emerged and washed the ashes of our enemies. I looked at Renisham, who melted the ice. He bowed like a gentleman. His cold blue dragon eyes changed into gold before he flew away.
“Stop!” my warriors called.
I turned around and found my warriors bowing before the dragons. Ampharos lowered his dragonhead close to me and said, “Are you not going to bow to us, princess?”
I frowned at him. He landed on the ground and gave me an order to bow down. I could see his cheeky smile behind his playful stare.
“Princess, please,” Eunisa whispered. “We have to address them our respect.”
I grabbed my sword and plunged it into the ground. I kneeled on one knee and bowed. The dragons looked at me with their teasing eyes. I needed to remind myself that I once – still was, attracted to them – to stop myself from slitting their throats.
“It’s General Amara,” a warrior from the back announced.
The warriors and I stood up. We watched Amara as she approached the dragons. Renisham stepped forward and gave Amara a delicate bow. Jealousy struck me. Was he attracted to her? I looked at Amara. Could it be…? No! Amara could not be the woman in the prophecy!
“The Queen would like to thank you with a feast in the castle,” Amara declared. The dragons looked at each other. Amara bowed down and added, “We promise not to betray you.”
Ampharos walked closer to Amara. He moved his head closer to her. I clenched my hands into fists. Why were they drawn to her? I thought angrily.
“We shall join you,” Latias said in an endearing voice.
Amara stood up and answered, “Thank you. We have prepared beautiful tunics and exquisite trousers for you. It is a gift from our queen.”
One by one, the dragons shifted into their human forms. The warriors gasped at their beautiful appearances. I looked at Latias. He did not wear his magical cover. He showed Amara his true form.
I grabbed my sword and climbed on my horse. “Let’s head back to the castle,” I ordered and rode my horse as fast as I could.
* * *
Roses showered the castle halls as the three brothers approached. They wore the silk and embroidered clothes Amara granted to them. The women in the kingdom were all in awe of their masculinity and handsomeness. Another reason to hate this kingdom. My jealous mind thought.
Saicin rose from her throne and I followed her. She welcomed the three brothers with a happy smile. The three brothers bowed before her.
“Please, rise, our saviors,” Saicin requested. The brothers stood up. Saicin looked at the people in the throne room and said, “We will offer our saviors a feast tonight. Let…,”
“Saicin,” I panicked when Saicin stopped and turned paler.
Ampharos stepped forward and said, “If I may, princess.”
Ampharos held Saicin’s hands. His brown eyes turned lighter.
Saicin’s face glowed as her pain diminished. She bowed to Ampharos and continued, “Let us all rejoice with the coming of our saviors.”
Roars of rejoicing filled the walls of the palace. The orchestra played joyful music. I looked at Amara. We both knew that the war was not over. A greater danger was upon us. I looked at the three brothers. A danger that even the dragons could not handle by themselves.
Saicin bowed to the dragons and announced that she would retire for the night. I bowed to the dragons and followed my sister.
“Are you fine, your Highness?” I asked as Saicin’s steps became slower.
Saicin turned to me. Her face became pale again. I grabbed her close to my chest before she could faint. I looked at Eunisa and said, “Call Ampharos.”
Eunisa looked at me blankly.
“The dragon with the golden hair,” I told her. “Don’t let anyone find out.”
Eunisa was only about to leave when the dragons appeared in the exit hall. Ampharos ran quickly to the queen. He blew on her, but the effect of his power did not remain long.
“Your Highness, can you hear us?” Renisham asked.
Saicin opened her eyes a little. He pointed at Latias and looked at me. “I saw him. He turned into a dragon made of ash and with frightening fiery eyes.”
I looked at Latias. I could not understand Saicin. Latias quickly put on his magical cover and changed his appearance.
“What does she mean?” I asked Renisham.
“Dratini and Latias looked the same when we were young,” Renisham explained. “The Queen has mistaken Latias as Dratini.”
“But, it does not change anything,” Latias added.
The three dragons looked at each other with troubled looks. Then, Renisham’s eyes turned flaming red, but the centers turned blue.
Renisham almost fell on the ground. Latias caught him. He looked at his brother and said, “They have awakened his spirit.”
“What does it mean?” I asked. My eyes became wet as I watched Saicin turn paler. I looked at the brothers with anger and repeated, “What does it mean?”
“Dratini would come to claim his heart,” Latias explained.
I fell on the ground while holding Saicin. Only the woman in the prophecy could stop everything, just as Nyxia said. I was not that woman. I looked at Saicin. I had lost to the prophecy, but I would not let it take away my sister.
“We need to find that woman,” I told the brothers.
“Princess?” They replied in shock.
“I lost. I am not that woman,” I said as I let the tears fall down. “We all know that. However, help me save my sister. I will find that woman for you.”
“Princess, we decide whom we shall give our hearts to,” Latias refused.
“I know. However, I beg you. Do not let me lose my sister,” I pleaded.
Latias removed his magical cover and returned to his original form. He wanted to give his heart to me. I could see through him. The heavens are so cruel! I thought bitterly.
I called the servants and told them to carry Saicin to her room. The brothers looked at me. They still did not want to adhere to my plea. I turned to Amara and ordered, “Line up every innocent woman in our kingdom. Let the dragons find the woman they want to give their hearts to.”
“Princess,” Renisham called.
I dropped on my knees and bowed to the three brothers. “I beg you,” I said in tears.
The pain of letting them go ripped my heart. They would give their hearts to another woman, but they would take my heart with them.
* * *
I crawled to my bed and buried myself in the blanket. I succeeded in hiding my broken heart as I told Amara about the prophecy. I asked her to become the first woman to handle the brothers. The brothers adored her, somehow.
Amara accepted my request. It was out of loyalty for Saicin and me, but it would not be hard to fall for the brothers. I did not have any reason why I fell for them. I just did because of their unexplainable charms. Amara would easily fall for them, too.
However, Nyxia was certain that I was the woman in the prophecy. Why would she tell me about it, if I was not? Stop it, Aurora. I told myself. It did not matter whether she lied or not. The truth was clear. I was not the one. The heavens would not allow the prophecy to be altered again. Everything they designed had to happen.
“Princess,” Renisham called.
I pulled down the blanket and rose from my bed. Renisham stood outside my window. I hesitated to open it, but I could not withstand the urge. Renisham entered my chamber.
“You should be happy now. You and your brothers can have Amara,” I spoke weakly, but my voice was full of jealousy.
“We told you. We choose whom we will give our hearts to,” Renisham insisted. “You do not have the right to choose for us.”
“Then, tell me. To whom do you want to give them? I will find that woman for you,” I yelled.
Renisham grabbed me by the waist and pulled me close to his hips. He lowered his face close to mine and answered, “We have already found her.”
Renisham pressed his lips to m
ine. I tried to push him away, but he grabbed on to me. He hugged me tighter until I could not move.
He drew away from my lips and looked straight into my eyes. I could not see him clearly because of my tears. His words shredded my heart into pieces again. Our choices did not matter. Only the plan of the heavens.
“You said, you’ll defy the heavens,” Renisham reminded me. “We will help you find a way.”
“Renisham,” I spoke softly.
Renisham smiled and slipped his lips into mine again. I received them lovingly. We kissed without hesitation, and with all our passion. Defy the heavens? I had lost my will to do it, but at that moment, I only wanted to be in his arms. I wanted to be held by them, even for the last time.
Renisham lifted me into his arms and laid me on the bed. I closed my eyes only for a moment. I wanted to remember the way he looked at me for a long time.
He removed the silk tunic he wore and his trousers. I had seen his body, but I still become awed by his masculinity. My eyes wandered down to his lower torso.
His manhood was also huge and long. It was even bigger and darker than Ampharos'. It jolted my heart with a bit of fear and wonder. I feared that it would cause me more pain than the first time with I was with him but wondered what kind of pleasure it could bring me.
Renisham inched on the bed. We kissed softly. He carried his weight with one hand and let his other hand explore my body. He lifted the hem of my upper tunic and located my breasts. I took a deep breath when he cupped one of them.
He moved away from me and rolled my tunic over my head and off of me. He smiled happily, as he stared at my healthy breasts. I smiled and decided to show all of me. I pulled down my skirt, along with my underwear, and spread my bare body before him.
He placed a palm on my chest and drew a line down to my pubic area. I inhaled deep when his warm palm cupped the lips of my vagina. He leaned down and kissed me on my lips. He explored my mouth with his tongue while his fingers explored me.
I writhed when he inserted two of his fingers into my opening. I spread my legs wider to give him more access. He pushed his fingers in and out of me while our tongues fenced. He moved his mouth onto my breasts.
“Renisham,” I whispered in his ear.
His tongue and lips played with my nipples. It became obvious that he was more experienced than his brothers were. He knew where to kiss me and how to make me crazy.
My thighs tightened as the walls of my vagina became pulsing and greedy for his fingers. My hisses turned into loud moans.
An aching, but wonderful ball of pleasure formed on the top of my pubic area. I drove my hips up and down to satisfy the strange urge to burst in that area. Then, Renisham pulled his fingers out.
“Don’t stop,” I pleaded while shuddering.
Renisham smiled. He planted a soft kiss on my lips and moved away from me. He slipped his hands on the cheeks of my behind and pulled me closer to his pubic area.
I gasped when my wet vagina brushed onto his hairy and erect shaft. Renisham guided his manhood into my opening. I bit my lower lip as I anticipated the pain. Half of his strong shaft slid easily with my wetness. Like Ampharos, the tip of his cock was blocked by something. I closed my eyes when he pulled his penis away.
He pushed hard and stretched the tiny hole inside me. My fingers bit into the skin of his wrists as the pain traveled all over me. It fueled the strange ball of pleasure, urging me to become greedy again. I countered his every push with my hips. His cock slid deeper and harder inside me. My walls clung unto his cock like leeches – sucking all the pleasure he could give me.
Renisham moaned when my walls gripped his penis hard. His body turned red with tiny streaks of gold. I paused from countering his thrusts. I was afraid that he would become too hot and burn me again.
Renisham paused and took a deep breath. The redness of his body faded and he turned light blue. His body became as cold as Latias'. He flashed a smile of accomplishment and began to thrust again.
The mixture of his lukewarm penis and the cold breeze in my chamber added to the pleasure between my thighs. I squirmed on the sheets while moaning like a shameless woman.
“Renisham,” I called brokenly. “I love you.”
Renisham paused and looked at me. He kissed me passionately and whispered, “I love you too, Aurora.”
I smiled happily at him. I encouraged him to continue by wrapping my legs tightly around his hips. He thrust in and out of me again. I pushed my hips harder on him, so he could thrust deeper. His movement became faster, making my body crazy. The ball of pleasure began to turn into a ball of fire, waiting to explode.
“More, my love,” I whispered.
Renisham pushed faster for a moment. Then, he stopped and thrust in long, slow strokes.
“Oh, heavens,” I uttered when his strokes began to make me feel lightheaded.
He repeated his method and made me beg for more. He made me become desperate of getting the pleasure he gave me.
“Please,” I begged.
Renisham moved even faster and harder. He plunged his cock as deep as it could reach, with the intent to give me the pleasure I was starving for. His body began to turn red again, but he could not control it. He did not want to stop to put off his burning heat. I did not want him to stop, either. I was too close to bursting the satisfaction that had kept me mad.
Renisham’s body became too hot. I tried to endure it, but it stung my skin. I felt like I was being thrown into a roaster, filled with burning charcoal.
Tears flowed on my cheeks. I wanted to end our moment beautifully. I wanted us to celebrate with pleasure, but it seemed impossible.
“Renisham,” I cried when I could no longer tolerate the burning pain.
“Just hold on, Aurora,” he begged as he groaned.
He thrust harder while groaning loudly. He sounded angry. The pleasure in my pubic area began to disappear as the burning pain replaced it.
“Re...,”
I stopped talking when I saw his body. His veins darkened and drew flowers on his red, almost flaming skin. The burning pain melted away before the ball of pleasure inside me could disappear.
Renisham thrust fast and hard again. He brought back some of the desire that was lost because of the pain. I became desperate to explode that ball of pleasure again.
“Heavens!” I cried when my body could no longer hold on to the ball.
The strange heat spread all over me as I was about to overflow. I did not know what to do. Should I let it go or wait until Renisham tells me?
Renisham slowed down for a moment and returned to his long deep thrusts. My body shuddered and tensed to his every thrust. He leaned down and gave a quick suck to each of my nipples. He kissed me torridly before he returned to his fast pace.
My broken moans echoed in my chamber as I neared the breaking of the ball. Renisham pushed harder and let his cock remain inside me. My walls gripped his cock tighter. He pulled a little and pushed back hard.
That last strong push cracked the ball of pleasure open. It exploded into a crazy wave of unexplainable fiery pleasure. I felt like a sweet ocean wave swayed me into the heavens. I quivered, writhed and moaned his name as I enjoyed the wonderful burst he brought me.
When the wave slowed down, I dropped on the bed, gasping and tired, but with an elated smile. I looked at Renisham with my still dreamy eyes.
He leaned and whispered, “Let’s have that pleasure together this time.”
I only replied with a nod. It was the most exhilarating feeling I ever had in my life. I wanted to experience it again.
Renisham pulled his cock out from my gripping walls and began to thrust again. His every thrust awakened the pleasure that was about to fade away. The arousal built up again quickly.
I looked at him. He was also desperate to have his own pleasure. I decided to help him. I countered his thrust intensively, making my walls grip his cock tighter.
Renisham’s groans grew louder. His breaths became hotter and heav
y. His eyes looked misty as he got closer to reaching his own pinnacle. I was not behind. My body became weak, but desperate for the pleasure again.
Renisham thrust stronger. He groaned louder by each and every thrust – as if he was trying to control his own body. I clung onto his neck tightly and received his intensified pushes.
The ball of pleasure suddenly erupted again and I moaned loud and hard on his shoulder. I held on to him tightly as the second wave of swayed on me.
Renisham chased his own climax by driving in and out powerfully. Abruptly, his body glowed into a golden red. He groaned aloud and pulled his cock out of me.
He rolled on my bed, writhing in pain. He tried to control his body but he lost. His body erupted into flames.
I quickly jumped out of the bed and tried to put off the fire.
“Renisham, stop it!” I yelled.
Renisham forced himself to stand up and move away from my bed. His eyes turned cold blue and he blew a cold wind towards my bed. Ice covered the fire and completely put it off.
I wanted to go near Renisham, but he stopped me. It took him a while before he could control his power. He dropped on the floor, exhausted.
“Renisham, are you fine?” I asked as I approached him slowly.
Renisham slowly stood up from the floor. He looked frustrated. I knew how he felt. He was left wanting for more. The confidence I regained vanished again. He almost killed me, had he not controlled himself.
“It’s no use!” Renisham yelled furiously.
Renisham looked at me. He explained that he and his brothers had been borrowing each other’s power. He asked them to grant him their powers, so he could counter his own power. It worked, but it was not enough. The powers he acquired could not contain his power when he was about to reach the climax of ecstasy.
I sat on the bed and crumpled the sheets angrily. “It is really impossible to defy the heavens,” I stated with a frown.
Chapter Ten
I opened the door to the private library of the castle. It was a library exclusive for the royal family. It contained books that detailed the transferring of the heart. It also contained forbidden books, which were the subject of my visit.
