Love Amidst Mistakes

Water drips onto my conclusions

Ezekiel entered the grand ball room, getting nods and expressions of respect, admiration and anticipation, by the present ones, the ballroom which was situated in the starry sky of the milky way glowed like a diamond. The starts acting as the main source of light, such shine, and a glorious view, pleasing to eyes.

Some in gorgeous robes, while some expressing serenity in simple colors, several deities, minor or high in positions, blessed the place, with their presence. Wines and desserts open for the audience to enjoy. Nymphs and Sirens dancing and singing, serving the masses with delight. Distaste filled Ezekiel's mind, he was more interested into events of knowledge rather than the lusty glances and dances of the spirits. Seeing Ethos and Helius, Ezekiel made his way towards them, but soon was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. Feeling cringed, his eyes made contacts with his friends, who're amused my the scene that eyes were showing him, with a small smile, he turned towards the water spirit, and said, "I dont think, your body will be able to please its suitors, if I take away your hand" understanding what the hidden meaning was, horror took over the face of the woman, and she instantly took off from there. He looked back towards his friend and shook his head in disappointment, eyes closed for a second. On opening his eyes, he's in front of them, taking in the wine glass in his hand, which was presented by Ethos, he said, "Stop playing tricks on me, or you both will never be able to play them on anyone" listening to that both chuckled, "Oh Lord, it was hilarious, the look on her face, it seemed like, he showed her a vision of her demise" Ethos said, laughing, holding his stomach, the deities around them looked at them for a min, before turning their gazes back to where they were. "that's something he will never do, showing visions too people, he must have used his glib words. What a waste of such deep eyes" Helius said, and sipped his wine.

"Do you still get visions ever like, you know, about things, like you did when you're young?" Ethos asked, eager to know about his friend's situation.

"I have put up a barrier, unless something which can hurt my soul, something of utter importance is there, I wont get them, and we all know, they are of no use, as future is subjective, it can change, let's just leave things on the 'fates' " Ezekiel said, remembering the last time he got the vision, he was 10 at that time, a vision about him of age he's of now, trying to catch a chicken. He smiled, thinking how it wont happen, it's so easy for him to catch one, actually there's no need only.

"There, my dear, you are wrong! They can come handy when one needs, like a warning! Talking about fates, here they come, the triplets." Helius said, motioning his eyes, towards the arrival of the three sisters, who were directly coming towards them. "Say the name, and the devil is here" Ethos said, while Ezekiel just smirked, it wasn't unknown to them, that the Moirais were here not just for fun, they rarely came to parties. Either if the event profited them or they were there to warn. The latter being almost something which happened never, as the three sisters were too proud to come and warn someone, rather then call them and let them beg before they would spill the beans. They had a little prejudice for Ezekiel, cause he could almost hinder their work he want, he had that power over them. They once joked saying "He must be stupid monitor, send to mind us, as our power is something which can't really be won over" to which Ezekiel said, "So make sure you do your work properly, as I never go easy on my employees"

Yes, the fates had the power, which made them invincible, but for Ezekiel, it was not a hindrance, as for him, it was that power which became their weakness, if they were against him. Ezekiel could be modest was but his powers and aura wasn't.

"I have something for you!" Clothe said, looking towards Ezekiel, as soon as she arrived. Ezekiel looked up at her, and was about to say something, when he heard it, "no no no, I cant be caught, run faster, or they'll get you" he stopped a vision, a voice, of a girl, panting, lungs out of air. He raised a hand to motion the end of the conversation. His legs started walking on their own, like his body was out of his control, he was lost in his own confusion, walking towards the balcony, like something was pulling him towards it, but what. His friends, the love and sun deity, calling him. Ethos started making his way towards Ezekiel but as he was about to put a hand on his shoulder, Ezekiel transported. Helius was confused, he knew Ezekiel heard or saw something, a vision, or something, because whenever it would happen, Ezekiel's eyes would turn green. And his cheeks would turn red, like blood rushing towards his face. He knew something was wrong, but what? Was a war coming or a disaster. He looked towards the Moirais and said " why were you here? tell me!" His aura radiated through his vocal. "We sense change, a big change coming towards him, like a curse or something, like a demise, but we couldn't point it. Ezekiel's barriers are so strong that no one can cross them, but the change had so much more influence that it reached us. It can either be harmful or benefit it him but because the way I sensed it, it looked very harmful, we all lost our consciousness for a few mins, you can know what this means, if its harmful and to a very big extent, then it can be harmful to us too, but before I can warn him, he left" Heius took in whatever Atropos said. He calmed down and told Ethos to leave with him, to find someone.

Ezekiel entered the deep forest, he looked around and noticed that he's been transferred to the lands of earth. He changed himself into the clothing of earth and walked towards the sound of water. He felt like something was pulling him towards it. He walked towards the river and when the view came in, he stopped. Their in the river was the same girl he met three days ago, but on earth it would be almost three years. Bathing in the river. Water dripping from her body, as she came out on the surface of the river, her hands moving her hair back from her face, the moonlight shining on her naked body, like adorning it with glory. He took in the scene, breathing in deeply, and as she turned towards him, his cyan eyes met her dark brown ones, a minute later, shyness covered her face, eyes wide, she went down in water, just her hair floating above.

Ezekiel swallowed the lump formed in his throat and turned around. His eyes closed, like saving the image of the beauty. He mentally hit himself, on his shameful behaviour. But he was lost for words as he heard the steps coming towards him. He turned towards the girl, eyes down on the land. But as she came and stood infront of him, a dagger held at his throat, he looked up. Thankful, that now the girl was clothed, a white cloth wrapped around her wet body. Water still dripping from her hair, wetting her sheer covering.

"I can kill you here, and nobody would know!" She said, tightening her grip on the dagger, looking directly in his eyes.

Without thinking, Ezekiel held her hand which was hold the dagger, and tugged it towards him, pulling her close. "Try, if you can!" His words came like a warning, uninterested in his flirtatious tone, she made her move but before the dagger could make its contact with his skin, he held the dagger with one, and with the other, he turned her around, changing their positions, making her back attached with his chest, her own hand which was holding the dagger was now in hold of this stranger, while dagger was held on her neck. Her left hand was trapped under his left hand which was around stomach. She was hating herself for not running away when she had the time, rather then confronting the stranger, unknown about his skills. She blinked slowly, but on hearing the sounds of horses and a certain someone, who's shouting to search the forest, she got scared. Horror and senses kicking in she tried to get off this stranger's hold. What if he's one of them. Her thoughts shared her emotions of fear and she started blabbering, "please let me go, I'll pay you anytime ever we meet for this kindness, just right now, let me escape. I'll always be highly obligated towards your kindness, please" hearing her words, he said "What if I dont let you go?" Irritation took over her and she said angrily, "I'll curse you, and if ever I got a chance, I'll kill you!" Chuckling at her words he let her go, and handed her the dagger, and his cloak. She quickly took them and after wearing, she left to pick up her accessories and started running away.

He was confused by her actions, but when her heard the sound of several horses arriving, he understood she's escaping from someone, running away. Now everything clicked in, it was her voice of plea, her heard.

He looked towards the direction from where the sounds of horses was coming from and moved his fingers, grasses full of thorns, instantly took over the land. Smirking, he looked towards the direction where the girl was ran away. He summoned a white horse, sat on his back and made his way towards her.

On reaching near her, he saw her running silhouette and whistled. She stopped turning towards him, "this will make your run faster!" He said holding his hand out, she took it, her eyes gleaming. In a second, he pulled her up, and made her sit on the front. Increasing the speed, they took off.
