"Wonderful…" whispered a velvety voice. - Although I did not expect to hear such words. After all, a hundred years have passed."
"During this time, I realized that you are dear to me."
"I am very glad that you have feelings for me and I will cherish them. But something happened... You know, there was a beautiful woman who confessed her love to me, gave birth to a son."
"Who is she?"
"Queen of the Winged. Nobody told me this for a long time and I now live with her."
"So I am a trouble to your family happiness?"- Eriolan was upset.
"No, my dear. I chose you for eternity, wishing that you would never leave me. Women are changeable and she told words of love not only to me."
"The same as Ray?"
"Call him Eurol. I'm mad at him for leaving me... rushing off with that windy blond immortal ... after all I've taken care of him. Good thing it's not as far as I thought..."
"Why does his act cause such suffering in you? And Gideon!? He actually died of grief."
"It hurts when a lover runs away with someone else, although it is no longer used. Betrayal! Can this be forgiven? What do you think?"
"It is possible, - Eriolan answered without hesitation. - It doesn't look like a betrayal. Ray was immature teen and addicted to love relationships. Arlow had met him earlier and made him more attached to him. Whatever relationship we both had with "The Shining", the crown prince meant more to him."
"And maybe he didn't mean to run away. Arlow could have stuffed him into the portal. I'll find out all this soon, - Rohen sighed heavily.
"So you can forgive Eurol when you meet him?"
"It's hard to say what will happen. Now it's not the Ray you remember. Something broke in him, a completely different person. Not the soul of a young boy, but a wanderer exhausted by a long journey with a frozen heart. I invisibly entered his spaceship and watched him. It needs a serious overhaul."
"Like this? - Eriolan was surprised. - Is it possible to heal the soul?"
"Anything is possible, - Rohen smiled, holding him close. - You are just the way I wanted you to be: beautiful, attractive, and you like me. My gentle friend for eternity."
A sensual kiss left his lips and Eriolan, crushed by a strong body, was covered with sweet lust due to careful sliding touches on the hips and waist. Something burned his larynx and he breathed rapidly from the excitement that took over his mind, as if he had drunk an intoxicating drink.
"What, what is it ... with me?" - he squirmed in Rohen's arms.
"Hmm… don't worry, it was my energy that entered your body. Our bonding, since you yourself want it, is a careful process. I'm a creature from another reality, far from yours."
"I… feel very good…" - Eriolan breathed, wrapped in euphoria.
"Illy didn't prepare you? Have you not kissed?"
"No… I avoided him…"
"All these years? Poor Phoenix! You starved him to death."
"He's not a poor thing! - Eriolan exclaimed indignantly. - He did what he wanted: seduced a lot of young women and made bunch of kids…"
"Why did you reject him?"
"He is too cheeky! You're much more delicate... If Illy behaved more modestly, maybe I would sometimes be favorable to him."
"A-ha-ha! - Overlord cheered up. — Scoundrel! I'll send it to the right place for sure. Now I will entrust nine white-winged ones to you. Can you do it?"
"And what should I do with them?"
"I'll leave them here to breed…"
"What!? - the King was astounded. - Why is this?"
"Your Creator Irmay asked. He really likes the winged creatures and he wants to hybridize ... A mixture of people and syrinxes on his planet. Living with them normally will not work, but women can have children. Only a part of them inherit wings, but that's enough to change life."
"Wow! How many worries! How to bring up such hybrids? They will be out of control!"
"Until the age of fifteen, there is an opportunity to discipline boys, and it is important not to miss this moment so that they can serve society in a quality manner."
"Will only boys be born?"
"Aha!"
