Torn between mates

68. Finding Nema

Lea

“Valentin, my Sun,” I said as I walked towards him. 

“What happened Angel? Why do you look and feel that so sad?” He asked as he wrapped me in his arms.

“It’s Nema... she disappeared; she is nowhere to be found within the 6 realms. My aunt, Luke, and Siena’s mate are looking for her in Limbo...”

“But she might also be in the Human Realm,” Valentin concluded. 

“Exactly.”

“Let’s find your friend and bring her back home.” He told me.

“Thank you so much! Thank you for doing it for us! For doing it without even hesitating.” I said as I hugged him tightly.

“She’s your friend, Sunflower. There isn’t any other way, there is nothing to think about. Let’s go.” He said taking my hand in his. “If we have anything from her, a piece of clothes, or even an object, it will be easier to track her.” He added. 

“I’m sure Sienna or even Argo have something... wait, I have this pendant that she gave me,” I said as I took the small flower pendant in my hand. “Does it work?”

“Yes.”

Valentin and I went to Aureum to take everything we needed to track and find Nema before he opened a portal to the Human Realm. My last time in this Realm didn’t end well, but I still found the place fascinating. The Realm with no or little magic, where the ounce of magic that existed was hidden in the little things. 

We arrived at a green field, there was nothing and no one around. It wasn’t what I expected. I was looking around a bit confused. 

“We just need to be somewhere in this Realm, to be able to track someone who is here.” My mate explained and I nodded. 

“Angel, I’m a Fae, I can’t cast a tracking spell.”

“But how can we...?” I asked as a new wave of worry crept up in my insides, making a knot form in my stomach. I thought that he could do it somehow, the truth is, I didn’t know the exact extension of my Sun’s powers. 

How would we be able to find Nema?

“You will do it.”

“I can’t. It’s impossible, I’m not strong enough.” I replied. I was certainly not one of the most powerful beings in the Realms and my magic surely wouldn’t work in this Realm. 

“I’m your mate, we share a soul and we also share magic. You can channel my magical energy and use it to make the spell.” He replied

I hope it would work. Otherwise, just Avalon would be able to track Nema, since apparently only wizards and witches could cast a tracking spell and he was the most powerful among us. 

Valentin wrapped the pendent Nema gave me around a crystal pendulum, gave me his hand and the pendulum before he placed the dozens of maps on the floor. 

“It will show where in the maps she is. Close your eyes and let my energy flow inside of you, sunflower, while you cast the spell.” He instructed me.

After taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes. I could feel his energy overflowing through my veins. It felt good, warm, and tingling. It felt that not only our magic was one now, but we were one. We were connected and intertwined in all levels and all the ways. 

I chanted the spell, “perditus factus est, invenient me.*” and opened my eyes when the crystal flew to one of the maps on the grass like an arrow. “She’s in a place called Acharnis.”

We went to the place the tracking spell showed to us, it was an old house in the middle of nowhere. Valentin took my hand and we knocked on the door, a male that I was pretty sure wasn’t a human answered it. It was quite sad that I was in the human realm, but probably I wouldn’t have the chance to see any human this time.

“He is a Pixie,” Valentin told me through our bond and tightened his hold on my hand. 

“Come with me.” The pixie said with an odd smile. 

After crossing a narrow hall, we went to an ample room. My breath caught in my chest; I was feeling numb and almost dizzy in utter shock due to what was happening before my eyes. 

I was taking back what I thought; I saw a lot of humans, way TOO MUCH of them, we walked through a sea of naked bodies. Many, too many of them, I was trying to not look, I was actually taking my eyes off it as if the sight of the whole entanglement of bodies alone would burn my eyes. However, it wasn’t something I could do, they were everywhere, so not looking was impossible. I closed my eyes and almost tripped on something, if it wasn’t for Valentin catching me in his arms. When I opened my eyes again, I realised that ‘the thing’ that almost made me fall was three very naked people untangled on each other, I couldn’t differentiate what limb belonged to each of them. 

Goddess! 

“Are you feeling alright, Angel?” Valentin turned to me and wrapped two possessive and protective arms around my frame, pressing my back against his chest. I felt more comfortable – or less uncomfortable – this way, surrounded by my mate’s arms. 

“I…let’s just find Nema and get out of here as soon as possible,” I muttered. It was something very disturbing to see, a scene that I was sure would make even Liv blush and look away, even during her pregnant-nympho phase. 

We had to look to the crowd to find Nema, I couldn’t stumble around while avoiding looking at this… mess of naked or semi-naked people. I have never seen so many p*****s in my life. Obviously! Oh Goddess, what these males were doing with that broom? Some people were tied on tables, chairs, on other people. Moans and whimpers, groans, screams, the noise of flesh banging against flash. 

It was TOO overwhelming.

“Are these people… who…what are these people?” I asked confused.

“Most of them are humans and Pixies. But I’ve seen a couple of Demons and Nymphos and even a Vampire.” 

“I don’t understand why they all come to the Human Realm to do it…?” I muttered as a sliver of curiosity rose among the shock, the little horror that was overwhelming my senses.

“Here is a place where no one can be tracked or even attacked by other magic beings since magic hardly works in this Realm. This way, most of the creatures feel more comfortable and safer here. 

I heard that Pixies come to have very big s*x parties in this Realm because to organise or even have access to large orgies in the Pixie Kingdom, they would have to pay a lot of taxes. 

Moreover, Nymphos were forbidden to join huge orgies in Hell by Laius, a few years ago; because of this most of them are going to orgies in the Pixie Realm, which are rather expensive to get inside, or here in the Human Realm. The other beings have the… curiosity to have s*x with Nymphos, have them in orgies, so they go to bacchanalias where they know they can find the Nymphos.” He explained. 

“Why did Laius do it? Forbid nymphos to join this kind of…event in Hell?” I asked inquiringly. Poor Nymphos, I guess. Why Laius would do such a thing?

“Actually, he did it to help them. It was one of his acts of kindness inspired by your sister Liv. Nymphos shouldn’t go to big orgies that often, it can’t be very dangerous for them, so Laius forbid it to protect them.” 

“How dangerous?” I asked. While talking, we didn’t stop walking and scanning the place with our eyes, looking for Nema’s ginger hair or any sign of her. 

“There is something called The Vapor. It’s like something that Nymphos eat, but if they have too much of it, they become addicted and they lose themselves to it. High amounts of The Vapor are very dangerous and such dose is only found in big orgies. That’s why Nymphos can’t go to such events too often, if they do so, they will become Vapor junkies.” 

I was quite shocked. I didn’t know any of it. I thought that Nema was only confused and heartbroken, but I didn’t know she was at risk as well. My heart trembled with deep worry, fear; we must find her soon. 

“We will find her. She is somewhere here, Angel.” My Sun reassured me, pressing me flush against his chest, he must have felt my fear through our bond.

Richard

When I couldn’t reach for Lea through our bond, I feared for the worst. 

I imagined that the Psycho Alexus had kidnapped her once again and put her under some kind of spell, preventing her to communicate with me.

I feared that she went to him by her own will and closed her side of our bond. 

I spent the whole day between brooding around and having rage fits. I ran in my wolf form, let Titan run free into the forest. But not even that helped. 

We both needed our mate. Needed to know she was safe and hasn’t left us for that monster. 

After the run I waited for her, my fear and my rage were only growing further; I had to find her. 

I tried to look for her by tracking her bracelet, but it didn’t work. It was out of reach. It just could mean one thing; she was nowhere in the 6 Realms. My desperation only grew further. Where she could be? 

I asked Cassandra to make a tracking spell and it also didn’t work. So, we concluded that, or Lea was under some kind of blocking spell, that prevented us from tracking her; or she was in one of the two places where people could hardly be traced: Limbo or the Human Realm. I mind-linked Luke, I was trying to reach him for a long time until it finally worked. It was rather atypical.

“Luke, Lea disappeared. I can’t reach her for many hours now, Cassandra and I tried to track her, but it didn’t work.”

“Maybe she is looking for Nema, Astoria’s Nympho friend. I’m looking for her with Astoria in Limbo now. If Lea isn’t anywhere in the 6 Realms, nor here in limbo, she only could be in the Human Realm.” He replied. 

A loud and feral growl broke through my chest. She is looking for a Nympho in the Human Realm! She could be in danger; the last time she was at this Realm she became an easy target and was kidnaped by a vampire.This thought unsettled Titan and me a lot, my wolf was growling and pacing desperately in my head. We both only had one thought, a single goal: protect our female, bring her back to safety.

I turned to look at Cassandra and Sarah, they both had expectant faces and Sarah was very worried about Lea, although not even an ounce of how worried I was. 

“Cassandra, Lea is in the Human Realm. We must go there and track her, bring her back.” 

“What happened? Was she kidnapped?” Sarah almost jumped; her eyes grew wide, and I could hear her racing heart. 

“No, she is apparently there looking for her Nympho friend,” I explained. 

“Nema…” she muttered. “But how can you manage to track someone in the Human Realm?” She asked. 

“It would be hard. But the tracking device in Lea’s bracelet work with proximity, if I’m in the same Realm as her it is supposed to work. Cassandra should come with me to open all the necessary Portals.” I told them.

Cassandra nodded, “I’m getting some runes to enhance my powers and help me to obtain enough magic to get to the Human Realm.” She said before she portaled away. 

“When you find her, Richard. Please remember that she is only doing this to help a friend. Don’t be too rough on her.” Sarah uttered.

My wolf was on edge to take control and force shift, we were both very unsettle due to our female’s disappearance and the fact that she could be in a den looking for the Nympho. Worse than that, her hybrid blood could have attracted another monster, put her at hazard. We would hardly remember anything, we could only register one thing in our shared mind right now, we must bring Lea back.

Lea

We walked into another huge room, there I saw her ginger hair, she was alone naked on the floor shivering. I took a deep breath and clenched my eyes shut for a moment, biting my bottom lip in an attempt to hold back the couple of tears that wanted to flow freely from my eyes. Seeing her like this broke my heart.

My poor Nema!

Two male demons walked towards her with a scary grin on their faces, I swallowed hard as a jolt of dread travelled down my spine, making pearls of sweat form on my forehead.

“Don’t get any closer to her!” Valentin ordered. His voice was so imposing and commanding, kingly. It made the demons go away without a second thought. 

I looked back at my Sun in half-awe, some light was radiating off of his body. We got closer to Nema and I crouched down in front of her, holding her head up and trying to help her to sit up.

“Nema” I called.

She only hummed in response. 

“She is too high.” Valentin chimed in. 

He hovered his hand over her forehead, and after his healing was done; she sat up and opened her eyes slowly. 

“Lea.” She whimpered after blinking a couple of times.

“Nema,” I replied softly.

“What are you doing here… Oh, King Valentin is here too…” she muttered. 

In the next second, all of a sudden, a very naked ginger lady (who looked a bit like Nema) approached Valentin and ran her hands across his chest. He took her hands off of him fast and held her in place for her to not be able to come any closer. I felt an unfamiliar sensation growing in the pit of my stomach. Goddess, I wanted to slap this female so badly. 

My gaze was throwing daggers at that female, but before I could say something, Nema started, “Anja, stay away from him! He is my friend’s mate….” Nema said. 

“Don’t touch my mate!” I busted out, my voice carried anger, possessiveness.

“It’s an orgy…” Anja mumbled in a groggy voice. 

“Away NOW!” Nema almost yelled and the female went away immediately. She turned to look at me once again. “What are you doing here? I never thought I would see my baby chick in an orgy…” she muttered confused.

“We are here to take you home,” Valentin said. 

“There is no home, there is nothing… I’ve nothing left there. I’ve nothing left. My love is gone.” She replied looking down. 

“No. There is something.” I uttered; I didn’t know what to say. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. 

“If there is no love for me, at least there is The Vapor. It’s the only thing left for me. Now I just want to lose myself onto it. Let me go.” Nema muttered.  

“You’ve much more than that!” I tried to convince her. I wished Liv was here, she was much better at it than me. But my poor sister really needed some worry-free time and a good rest now. 

“No! Argo and being with him was what took me out of this life. Without him, there is only The Vapor, Lea. I came back here; To my place, the Elven Realm is nowhere for me anymore. Having him was what made me something more than this.” She said looking down at herself and then around.  “But I was lying to myself. That’s what I’m. I’m a nympho Lea, I’m only s*x, nothing more. The rest was only a dream.” Her words made my heart sink, and some tears streamed down my eyes. I couldn’t even imagine how heartbroken she was. She loved, loves Argo so much. He was her lover and partner for around 40 years, and all of a sudden, she couldn’t be with him anymore.

That should be the way Daisy feels as well. 

“That’s not true! You’re much more than that! You’re also much more than the love of Argo! Maybe being with him was what took you out of this life and the addiction, but afterward, you found and built much more. You’re my friend, my teacher. A great teacher and friend, and a beautiful person! s*x and the relationship with Argo are a part of you, but not all you are.” I told her. 

“All the Nymphos end up losing themselves to The Vapor, soon or later. There is no sense in postponing something inevitable.”

“You are not ‘all the Nymphos’ or any nympho! You are our Nema.” I said. 

“Nema, we won’t leave without you! You’ll come back with us to Emeraldia or Aureum, it’s your choice. But you’ll come back, soon or later! There is no point in avoiding the inevitable.” Valentin smiled at her.

She sighed deeply. 

“I won’t. There is no point in being in any of those places without Argo. Without love. Love is the only drug that can replace The Vapor, baby chick.” She replied looking at my crying face. 

“Please Nema. I love you; Liv loves you. Aunt Astoria and Sienna too!” I pleaded. 

“I believe that’s more than enough to keep you high on love, Nema,” Valentin added. 

“It is! Please, if you can’t see to do it for yourself now, do it for us! Please! Don’t break our hearts! Besides that, there is a new baby chick that needs your wisdom. We don’t want baby Aurora to grow up and be a prude.”

Nema let out a laugh and tears before she moved closer and hugged me.

“I can allow baby Aurora to be a prude like your aunt was before she found that fine specimen of wolf.”

I laughed and hugged her tighter.

“Let’s go home,” I told Nema and my mate, as we both helped Nema to stand up; she was still a bit dizzy. 

“To Aureum?” Valentin asked and I nodded in response. He gave his cloak to Nema and she covered her naked body. 

Before we had time to flash away, we heard a loud and powerful growl, that reverberated off of the walls. 

I knew this growl. 

Richard. 

Tracking spell: *(lost place, find me.)
