Fyrre Beasts: Volume 1

Along the Still Water



They have overcome one obstacle but there's so much left to do. They travel to the Islands of Valleys. This is the only possible place left to find Dona and Denvor Gren-Cove.

The Still Water is still as always,some say that it was once a sea that never stood still,stirred into waves by a monster at the bottom. Some believe that once the monster died,it stopped ravaging and became still and cold.

The boat that they recieved was marvellous in Maxwell's eyes. He was in peace with the world when he stared into the water. He watched the people and wished that his life,was theirs. He was jealous of people's simple and meaningful lives.

Maxwell dreamt of peaceful days and nights but he has one goal and he must reach it,no matter what people say,is what he thought before Haleina's words to him."Is this all a waste?Only time will tell,"thought Maxwell.

Clover Virqua's Pov:

The boat tilted left to right. We had to place ourselves well,otherwise we would've fell from the boat. Everyone was quiet and so was the ocean below us. It was dark and we couldn't see much. That was all that we heard,people getting sea sick and drinking and singing.

He was in pain and was by his side the whole time. I watched them bandage him and I held his hand everytime it hurt. I will never forget what he has done for me but I betrayed my father.

I sat and washed his wounds. I still remember how Dany attacked him,I thought he killed him. My heart has been in distress and disbelief. One moment my life came crushing down,and the other rose higher than the tallest castles of Fyrre. I love him but the scarifices has scarred us.

"Does that hurt? Should I cover it up now?"

"No,keep going,their not going to heal if I keep hiding them,"Leo grunted.

" You were strong out there,you beat my brother. They always told me what do or say but they always wanted me safe and happy. That's how I met you,they allowed me to meet you. I know they regret it."

"How long is it going to take you to realize that you were their prisoner". He turned around and looked me in the eyes.

"I was no prisoner,they were my family. No matter how badly they treated me,I will always love them. They made me,the woman you love."

"I freed you from them. You may have loved them but they didn't love you. It hurts,I know. To have family and they don't love you or even think you're alive. My mother left us because she didn't want us. That was it."

A tear fell from my eye. I know....the truth..and yet I keep telling myself lies.

"They forced you,"he held my face with his soft and caring hand,"to tell lies and to follow them but now you can do anything that makes you happy without a price. I never want to see you cry again,you've shed too many tears. You are liberated,forget that their alive,just like Amber and me."

He always knew what to say,he always cared for me. I love him for what he did,but I cared for them as well. That is a thought for another day. I kissed my champion and loved him so. I loved him for all the cuts and burns he endured for me. We made love,for a while,all the passion built up to now. We tried to be quiet because the boat was quiet and so was the ocean below us.

Arthur Gren's Pov:

I was utterly bored. No fighting or travelling,just endless water. I sat on a barrel of wine and poured cup after cup for Oscar. He didn't say a word to me. He drank and smoked and treated me like his servant.

"What's going on,old man,no lesson for tonight?"

"No."

Then the silence went on until Maxwell,the forgotten prince,came to pay us a visit.

"Hello,Oscar,drinking a lot of wine tonight,I see,"Maxwell said.

"I'm tired of staring at the f*****g ocean. How much more?,"complained Oscar.

"Only a couple more days."

They both completely ignored me.

"Hello,Max, where's your manners?"

"Your mother took them."

They both laughed and I got red cheeks.

"Hilarious. Before the night ends,how about you tell me more about Haleina? How am I going to woo her,if I know nothing of her."

They laughed again,even harder.

"Listen,boy,all you have to know about Haleina is that she is tough and doesn't have a c**k between her legs."

"Watch your mouth,she's my wife."

"That's if she doesn't leave,"uttered Maxwell.

"What! Where is she going?"

"She's planning to leave for Swallows' Mountain."

" No,no,no! She can't leave she is my bride."

I stood up and proclaimed my love for her,Oscar pushed me back to my seat.

"I guess you're gonna need a lesson for tonight. Listen. No matter how much you try and protect the things you love,you don't have the power to control them. As a man,when I'm done protecting the king,my family,my friends,I have to protect myself. I'm not going to fall down and cry over something I can't do. I do what is needed and at the end of the day," he poured another glass and gave it to me," I love myself. I drink and smoke how much I want because there's nothing left for me other than my friends,my Blackhill,my wine and any girl that still wants to f**k me."

I don't drink. I still took a sip. I immediately spat it out. It was so bitter and left a smell in my mouth.

"What s**t is this?! How do you even drink this?!"

"Well,to be honest,I don't drink it for the taste."

Maxwell left to check on the boat.

"You think she will go?,"I asked.

"Yes,Haleina has a mind of her own."

"Then what is my purpose being here,if she doesn't love me."

"That's what I used to yearn for,a woman's love. I started to love myself,because no woman loved me. Now,there's girls at my feet,pleading. I found my own purpose,I'm better of. I still love woman but it's no more important to me."

I drank it all. He spoke the truth and now my whole life is changed. I must become a man.

"You're right,Oscar,always have. Once I become a man,I'll love her then but she will remain in my heart until my very last day."

"You're learning well."

Arthur slept that night on a bed for the first time in a while. He thought about what he would do next to attract Haleina. Buy a horse for her,forge a sword,or simply jewellery. The thought hit him and it hard,she wouldn't accept them. Another thought hit him. The people around him has bigger issues than him. He shouldn't be zealous. Being under Oscar's wing is paying off.

Amber Sunsette sat on a little barrel. She actually was happy for once. Her brother was an incredible fighter. For a long time,his anger frightened her.

He would jump head first into battle on the streets and lose. Every night,she would steal cloth and medicine and help Leo. He was always like that,even before mother left us on the streets,she thought.

"Can't sleep on the ship?,"Leo asked as he walked over to her,covered in bandages.

"Yes. I'm still in complete shock."

"Why?"

"Dumb question but you won you're first battle. I'm truly proud of you brother,"she said as tears came rolling down.

"Amber!You're crying. Is it your illness? Are you thinking about mother again? Don't cry too much,let me bring you some wat-,"Leo said as he went to get water.

"Don't. I'm not crying because of my disorder. I'm crying because we struggled so much to get atleast a piece of bread before we became soldiers and now you got us this beautiful boat and you saved your beautiful woman. You're our champion."

"It's my duty,sister. I don't need thanks. I need you to be strong for both of us. One day,you'll need to be a champion."

Leo held her tight as she embraced his warmth. They have come a long way. A memory passed in her head.

Amber was crying uncontrollably and her mouth was cry and her clothes were wet. Her cry became screams as she cried for her mother's love. Leo held her tight back then. She silently fell asleep as she embraced his warmth.

Rey looks out of the window and she stands still. The winds blows against her face. Her eyes suddenly close and she falls to the ground. The stand falls over and so does the big candle. The commander rushes in.

"My queen,are you ill?"

"No,she grew,her body grew once again,"Rey said as she stood up. The commander lost his breath when he saw her. Her face was full of cracks and pores and within was glowing.

The door closed and she dropped her robe. She pushed him back and their tongues entangled. She opened her hair and it covered her brown chest.

She untied his armour and took of his shirt. Senah loved his raw,young body and his blue eyes.

"Do you have a name,guard?"

"Stallis,from Demar's Peek."

"Well,you are a fine man."

"You think so,m'lady?"

"Yes,otherwise,why would the queen show you her luxurious body,"Senah said as she ran her fingers down his body.

"So the rumours are true?"

"There many rumours about my reign and my fetishes. That I have a yearn for men and a lust for love making. That my mother took me in when I was a slave and raised me as her daughter and many other slaves are still under the control of Rey Demar. Do you know of all this?"

"Yes,m'lady."

"Well,it's true. The people do not trust me. They believe I killed Sheen but she was murdered by that Rey Demar. Enough talking about serious things."

She pushed him on the bed and removed his clothes. He blocked his bare parts but she pushed his hands away and mangled with him. She blew the candle out and let go the shackles of control.

She rode him under the blanket. His legs were spread out and she sat on his core,bending back and forth. Everytime,she felt a pulse,she smiled and moaned. She found herself a fine specimen.

When they were finished she sat beside him and waited for her breathing to slow down. Stallis thought for a moment and realized that he slept with a queen,he knew it was a great victory.

"Can I tell you something,Stallis?"

"Yes,m'lady."

"You are not the first guard,I shared a bed with. All the men before kept their mouths shut. I expect you to do the same."

"Will do,m'lady."

"Remember you're still a guard for me. I need you to be at your best for the upcoming war at the First Valley."

"When will that be,m'lady?"

"On the day when the fog has cleared out from the mountains. It will be known as the day when I kill that evil witch and the people will love me finally."

"How will we do that,we barely have a thousand men?"

"It shall be done with the help of Maxwell Foresste,prince of Medghar."
