SEA'S BRIDE (PHILMYTHO ROMANCE II)

CHAPTER 51

My eyes won't stop from yielding so many tears and as so as my sobbing, it continued for a long while until I notice my head moving upwards. It was as if I’m being lifted. And just as I was about to open my eyes, I saw a silhouette of a man before me that was so swift to steal away my lips. I wish to struggle and slap him for his imprudence but I was also too weak to move. Dying and being harassed on the verge of my death is such a horror to even experience now.

His warm greedy lips pressed against mine and I instantly felt a surge of essence traveling from my tongue across my throat. It was magical. It’s like the essence soothed my whole body with an immense amount of energy. The feeling woke up my organs from complete failure. My breathing became normal and the sores across my body were gone. It was like, I am completely healed.

He withdraws from me and I was so disappointed that his face is too blurry for me to recognize. Maybe because I haven’t recovered from the drowsiness despite the enchantment of essence this man has given me.

I tried moving but the man restraint me, keeping me immobilized after placing me down on the bed of wet sand once more. He rose to pick up a spear weapon lying on the ground and took his few step away from me. I was surprised that his sudden movement was unimaginable. After he placed his palm on his chest, I stirred up hearing him bellowed in a low groaning pain. Just what is he doing right now?

At this moment, I am anxiously trying to fight over my visions while witnessing him pulls out an immense spherical light from his chest that could’ve been the cause why he is shrieking from that pain. I can sense it was painful, but somehow this unidentified man tried to confide it as much as he can by only creating a low bellowing cry.

I wanted him to stop what is he doing, to discontinue whatever is he trying to get from his chest that gives him such agony and discomfort, but before I could even do so, he has already stopped. And after successfully pulling out a glistening spherical crystal that looks like a pearl from his chest, he placed it below the ground and used the spear to cut it in half. A crack of lightning bolt sprouts out in between the pearl that blinded me even more because of the immense light that the pearl is immitting.

With all the light glowing around the shore, I assume I could finally see his face. But as I was trying to see who was the man who did that for me, I was so astounded that a blinding light came between us preventing me to see the face of this man.

He went closer to me and forced me to swallow the other half after he gobbled the other. Our bodies glowed enough that it is still too radiating, making it too complicated to see. What’s more is the fact that after he let me swallow the other half of the pearl, I feel as though my tongue is going to melt because of the burning pressure it creates. I cried as the pain he was feeling a while ago was shared with me by forcing me to eat the other half.

I thought I was going to perish from this, but the man soothed my pain by ceasing my mouth once more and relieving me with the essence his mouth is transferring into mine. This is disgusting yet it soothes my burning throat. The massive light that our bodies are slowly subsiding giving me the hope to finally see the face of my savior.

But before I even had the chance to withdraw and look at him, he opened his eyes that flinched me. It drowned me with its completely oceanic-blue hue that quickly hypnotized me. With that, he was able to make me close my eyes to sleep. And before I knew it, I was already awake from my reality.

Just as I thought, it was really a nightmare. A kind of nightmare that gives me a surreal vibe that it somehow happened to me but the only thing is when and where?

***

My body was forced to rise from the scent coming outside the suite room. It smelled like sautéed meat with a little touch of mix vegetable redolence, I also smelled the luring scent of sweet honey and butter as my feet drags me outside.

Amanikable surprised me while sitting in on the leather seats parted by a coffee table between. And I wasn't wrong from what I smelled. It was the fried meat drizzled with butter and honey on top of the mix vegetable serving as its garnish.

"What took you so long to wake up?" He greeted or more like ranting at me. His face was just calm but I can sense from the frowning of his thick brows that he's just trying to control his anger. He's such an ill-tempered one. Yet, he manage to hold his wrath up until now.

Since I can't afford adding more fuel to the fire, I instantly came up with something to divert his anger. "What time is it?" I rather ask than start my morning with a debate. I'd rather fill my stomach first than to consume stress from this man this early.

"Around twelve." he was quick to respond.

I was surprised that I've slept that long. Maybe because I was too consumed by my dream, that is why. And thinking about my dream last night, or rather nightmare, I couldn't help to withdraw it from my head. What could be the meaning of that dream?

This isn't the first time I had a weird dream, but for some reason what I had seen or more like experienced last night was too different from the previous weird dreams I had. This time, it's as though I've seen that scene before yet I know it's impossible because I don't have any recollection when or where it actually happened.

What just bug me is that the man who saved me in my nightmare resemble so much of Amanikable. Perhaps I am just overthinking it since that man had the same oceanic-blue eyes like Amanikable. He can't be the same with the man in my dream. The concern of that man was too genuine which is too far from Amanikable's traits.

"Your meal is getting cold, won't you eat?" Amanikable woke my senses from my daydream. I have been spacing out for quite a while that I didn't notice him almost done with his meal.

"Who prepared these?" I just thought t ask to change the topic and keep him cool. Like I said, I'm trying to avoid arguments especially if I hadn't eaten anything. I'm scared he might eventually throw everything on the table out of rage because of my provocation.
