Chapter 20 - Arrival of the outlawed Immortals (II)
Space began to warp and twist till it gashed wide open and folded to reveal a massive hole that lead somewhere else, and that was to the World of Mortals where Ethena and Aerracles currently inhabited.
"Before you go in, I will have to warn you guys." Ljourne who was with the outlawed Immortals, said with great concern in his tone.
"The person you are about to face individually or as a group in battle, isn't someone that you can easily surmount and kill. We have sent more men before you who were quickly slain by her. So, when you get there, do not carry yourself with pride and arrogance before her, thinking that she is someone not worth using your full power and complete sets of battle skills. Just dash straight into doing what my Lord Immortal assigned you to do. Then when you are back, you will definitely be handsomely rewarded, just as promised." Ljourne said while the group of Immortals that listened attentively to him, nodded their heads in reasoning.
Ljourne then said further, "Our ability to track her down have been greatly compromised since she killed someone that took a special tracing artifact along with him to the World of Mortals that pinpointed her immediate location. So, when you get to the World of Mortals, you will have to go searching for her, in all of the cities that you can find. Although she will be really low-key as she wouldn't want to expose herself as an Immortal to the people around her, just brew up a vast storm of destruction over there and that will simply draw her out from her hiding nest. Then you can go ahead to slay her. No need for introduction or exchange of greetings between yourselves. Just go right ahead to concertedly unleash your heaviest and most powerful killing strikes at her. This will hurt your ego and pride as top-class Immortal warriors, true, but you just have no choice. Or you might regret it."
Immediately Ljourne finished saying that with the group of outlawed Immortals standing before him nodding their heads in complete agreement to what he said, he said further, "Alright folks. You can go in."
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!...
Immediately, the outlawed Immortals began to jump into the portal one after the other to cross over to the World of Mortals and search for Ethena who they had the sole purpose of maiming and killing.
...
A second after the outlawed Immortals appeared in the World of Mortals, the portal behind them which they used to arrive in this world, began to fluctuate before diminishing greatly in size and ultimately disappearing.
"Brothers of carnage, let's be professional about our work. None of you should dare to think of subduing that Ethena girl and having a taste of her sweet and delicate body."
"Although her flawless and divinely body is highly tempting as it can spark up strong and raging lascivious desires in each and everyone of you gathered here, just resist those overbearing sensations that will flood your groins and do what you were sent here to do, after you have been able to finally to surmount her in battle. Then we can bask in riches, glory and great power for as long as we want. Understood?" Ubre asked, looking at his colleagues who looked back at him with comprehensive gazes in their eyes.
"Well said, Ubre." Fyroki said while the others nodded their heads in unison.
"Good!" Ubre said.
He then said further, "Let's split up so that we can look for her very quickly."
Then they split up to go search for Ethena who was currently enjoying the sunset with Aerracles in a truly bonding intimate position.
"Aerracles, Ethena... Food is ready. Come and eat." Jake who had dashed towards them from the house, said with brimming excitement in his voice.
"Alright." Aerracles said with the nod of his head, while Ethena who had abruptly stood to her feet, tried to help Aerracles up by stretching a hand out at him.
Then when Aerracles stood to his feet too under Ethena's support, they followed behind Jake to the house to eat the meal that Jake's mother, Sharon had prepared.
After settling on the stools in comfortably seating positions and being served plates of rice that had fried stew and large pieces of fried oily meat on top of it, Jake asked looking at Aerracles.
"Aerracles, can you fly faster than Ethena?"
Immediately Jake asked that question, Aerracles was instantly taken aback. Then he began to think of the response to give Jake who stared at him with a curious look in his face.
"To be sincere, I really don't know. And the only way of knowing that is by engaging in a furious race with her. But I am sure she is too elegant and queenly to engage in such fun stuff." Aerracles said with a smirk in his face, while Ethena who heard his reply, didn't bother saying anything.
Then directing her look towards Jake, she said, "Angels are generally faster than Immortals. But there are some Immortals that can move much more faster than some of the fastest Angels. And an example of such Immortal is me. My speed can go far above a thousand times that of lightning, which should be dozen times that of Aerracles's peak speed."
Hahaha!
Aerracles laughed in a rather carefree manner, as what he heard was simply outrageous.
But he didn't bother saying anything in his defense, as he knew that Ethena was only trying to pick on him,
Then like that, they continued to speak delightedly with one another until they had finished their meals and then stood to their feet to retire to their individual rooms for the night.
"Aerracles, can I come with you to your room?" Ethena asked while Aerracles who definitely wouldn't reject Ethena's request, quickly nodded his head in both amazement and joy.
Then after they got to the room with Ethena relaxing herself on Aerracles's small bed, she said with a solemn expression appearing in her incomparably seraphic face, "Actually, I thought about us again... I don't know if this relationship thing that we are trying to build and nurture can really work. Or what do you think?"
"But left to me, I will strongly suggest that we sever our newly established relationship before we both become too invested in it."
Immediately Aerracles heard these, he froze in his current position. While his mind was thrown into a state of complete disarray. Besides, he could feel that his heart was beginning to crumble into pieces at that spot that he stood.
The moment Ethena delivered that news to him, it was like an all-powerful bolt of lightning descended really hard upon his heart from somewhere in the universe and struck it with an unimaginable destructive force.
Standing tremendously shocked and bedazzled as he looked at Ethena who quickly looked away from his gaze that emanated all sorts of feelings, Aerracles said with great resolve in his voice, "No, Ethena. I won't suggest we do that. We can make this truly work. Besides, you can't take me to heaven one moment and throw me to hell the next. It's not a nice feeling, you know."
Then still looking at Ethena who was actually expecting that statement from him and only shook her head disagreeably, Aerracles said further, ignoring her physical reaction to what he just said, "I don't know why you suddenly suggested that from nowhere. But what I want you to know is that we can still put efforts into trying to make it work. Or what thought exactly flashed in your mind and caused you to utter that? Please, make me comprehend."
"Well, we are both of different races that are simply bitter and deadly rivals of one another. I don't think they will ever accept our union, talk more of bless it." Ethena said.
"Well, do they really need to know about our relationship? We can just stay in this world for as long as we like and nurture the miracle that we would beget into a fine young man or woman." Aerracles said.
Ethena heard that and only broke a slight smile in her face. She then helped Aerracles to rather complete his statement, "...who will cross the void to all the worlds out there and exude this vast aura of incomparable magnificence and surging might that will strike both bottomless awe and boundless fear in their hearts."
Haha!
Aerracles laughed.
He then said, "Exactly."
Then with a serious expression replacing the smile that previously surfaced in his face, Aerracles said, "Ethena, you don't need to worry about your people. They wouldn't find out about what we have done. None of them would. And even if they later discovered, they wouldn't do anything to us after seeing the miraculous fusion of our two worlds. They will accept it like that and let us be, with the deep and totally irreconcilable hatred that exists between them fading away till it completely disappears and let us merrily unite."
Aiiiiii!
Ethena sighed just imagining what Aerracles said.
She then said, "I hope our thoughts will come to reality and that the deep-seated hatred that exists between our two races will vanish totally and let them unite in peace and harmony."
"Definitely, Ethena. It will surely happen." Aerracles said.
He then looked at Ethena with a small current of fear still circulating about in his heart and asked, "So, what do you say, Ethena? Would you like to give our relationship a try? Please be rest assured that it will definitely work out. I have long visualized everything that will occur and have come to a conclusion that everything will play out just as I have imagined. I mean, all the actions that they would ever take will certainly align or conform to what I have imagined."
Ethena exhaled and said with a radiant smile appearing in her face, "Alright. I will believe you and hope that everything you have said works out just the way you have visioned it."
"So, does that mean yes?" Aerracles asked with the brewing storm of worry in his heart beginning to slowly abate in strength, as he felt that he had managed to convince her to a great extent of their amorous relationship working out, despite the great animosity that exists between their two races.
"Yes." Ethena smilingly nodded her head while Aerracles grinned with great relief in his heart. He was absolutely scared of her saying no and deciding to abruptly stop everything that they had going on currently.
"So, want to discuss any other thing with me?" Aerracles asked slowly as he gazed lovingly at her.
"No. That's all I that wanted to discuss with you. I will be returning to my room now." Ethena said and stood to her feet from Aerracles's bed. While Aerracles who looked at her as she stood up, mentioned with a certain look surfacing in his face.
"We are lovers, right? I mean couples if I am to put it right. So, why don't you stay with me in my room? I don't like the fact that we are separated from one another."
Ethena heard that and only grinned.
She then said with a silly smile appearing in her face, "I can see that you can't wait to ravage my delicate snow-white body and taste from my pot of sweetness. Haha. Well, just take your time, Aerracles. Since I am all yours, it will happen. I myself will make it happen. So, just bide your time. Give me more time to develop romantic inclination towards you. However, if you bring up this topic again without me firstly initiating it myself, you will be restricted, or worst, forbidden from plunging yourself into my small world of pleasure. I assure you."
"Ugh! Come on, Ethena. I wasn't referring to that." Aerracles who understood all that Ethena said, tried to dissuade her from believing that that was what he really meant.
"You want to go all defensive about it?" Ethena asked while Aerracles immediately shut his mouth.
"Yes. Be a good boy." Ethena said with all seriousness in her face.
She then walked closer to where Aerracles stood and gave him a really tight hug that caused her twin peaks to press tight and flatten against his chest. She then further took the initiative to affectionately kiss him on his left cheek, leaving the bright glossy pinkness on her small and succulent lips on that part of his cheek.
After intimately hugging him for sometime, she detached herself from the embrace and walked towards the door to leave the room. While Aerracles who wasn't expecting that in any way since she had threatened him earlier, couldn't help but stand at that spot and smile from ear to ear in a rather sheepish but greatly delighted manner.
