An angelic, alluring voice wakes me up from my sleep. I reach my Adhiti beside me but there's no Adhiti. I sat up and the sun beam meets my eyes. The sweet voice wakes me alive. Or more like, I was hypnotize that makes me slipped off from bed, walking to the direction where the singing voice is. Even the humming sound, makes me more alive as I come closer.

I enter the room, and found her on the big bathtub washing herself while singing. I gapes on the view. She wasn't fully naked because she's wearing a nylon sleeping dress. She smiles at me that makes me smile like crazy.

"Good morning, dear." She greet very warm and very sweet. She stood from the bathtub, mesmerized on her perfect curves as the long dress molds on her body and show the real color of her skin. I was instantly aroused by just seeing her like that, where everything are visible. "Did you sleep well?" she asked me as she wrapped her wet arms around my nape.

My gaping mouth almost falls down, and my arms automatically wrapped around her back as I press my full body with hers.

"Do you want to look for a better view?" she asked, really tempting me. No, I was so into her that makes my throat dry and gulps on her question. Her voice hasn't been that seductive and alluring that makes me really hypnotize. She leave my neck as she slowly and seductively pulls down the thin sleeve of her blue and white sleeping dress.

Her mark around her chest is showing and I have a better look until she shows half of her nude body on me. My throat goes really, really dry that makes me gulps big. Her breast was in perfect round full shape. And the thorn vines of her marks was around her waist that has a bud red rose, and fully open green rose. And then an unexpected thing she does is she drop the dress that shows her fully nude body on me. It is my first time seeing whole of it personally. It was beautiful. Her skin, her marks are perfect. In my eyes, everything on her are perfect.

It makes me really arouse by just looking at her. Her eyes are blue-green, like the color of deep water or Deep Ocean. My hands wanders around her perfect curve and big hips. There are different kinds of spiral shapes around her body. Like it has a life of its own.

"Do you like it?" she asked me, in the same lovely voice that allures my lustful side.

"I love it." I murmurs. It was my own mouth who said it without a control from my brain. God, what is happening to me? I was simply out of my mind. I was really into her. She's just perfect in my eyes.

"It's all yours my Prince." She scoop my cheeks, tip toed as she kiss me passionately. It wasn't the kiss that Adhiti gave. It was a kiss that is full of passion, lust and desire that wakes my sleeping hormones. But those kiss wasn't just passionate, lustful and desirable, but there's a dark loneliness and I feel it.

"It Serina, my Prince." She speak softly as she gently pulls her hand gently putting it to my face, seducing me and hypnotizing me with her voice. "Make love to me, my Prince."

That's when I wakes up from my lust. I immediately pulls her until she wrapped her legs around my waist. I carried her towards the bathtub and join her there. I don't know what I am doing but it will be one of the way to cover her nude body into the water full of blue petals of roses.

"Don't you love what I look?" she asked in very lonely voice. Her eyes was so lonely too. I bent down to her pushing the petals to cover her nude chest.

"I love every inch of you, my love. But Serina, I love Adhiti so much. And now you are not Adhiti."

"Loving Adhiti means, loving us." She told scooping my cheek. She gave me small kisses on my jaw line. I was confused. I don't know what she's talking about. Like there's not only my Adhiti and Serina on that body.

"Us?" I asked, really confused, my head hurt badly.

"Uhuh…" she murmurs and she licked my lips. I was dumb right there. I don't know how to react. First thing comes into my mind is that, she has multiple personality disorder cause of her traumas back then or maybe because she pushed to be Catastrophe. She pulls my hand towards her breast, and I was still unable to respond or react. I was so surprised on what she told me. "Make me happy, please." She begs. Her eyes are very lonely. A siren who allures men in the sea and make them happy, was so lonely in front of me. I only gave her a peck on her forehead.

"Are you hungry, Serina?"

"Yes. I am very hungry of happiness, my Prince. I had been dying of loneliness for hundreds of years."

I scoop her cheek gently wipe the tears that turns into pearls. I felt so sorry and I felt her loneliness. But I never know how lonely she is.

"You don't need to get laid to be happy, Serina."

"But I want you, is this body is not enough?" she insisted as tears and pearls kept falling into the water.

"Hush, my beauty." I embraced her as she cries and cries until she fall asleep. The bathtub is almost full of pearls. Pearls?

I wrapped her in dry towel and put her back to bed. I wrapped the duvet on her nude body as I gently brushes her long hair while drying it. Almira knocks on the open door of the bedroom and look at me with confused face. I kissed my beloved's forehead as I gently slipped off from bed and went to the closet to change my wet clothes.

I headed to the kitchen where Almira is waiting. I gulp a glass of water as Almira waited for me to speak.

"I see that Adhiti is still asleep. Did you undress her?"

"Well, its kind-a confusing, Serina almost make me do it."

"Serina?" Almira asked as she changes her sitting position. "That name was familiar."

"Last two nights ago, a very weird attitude of her wake me up. She was staring outside the window directly to the bone-fire festival on the castle. She's really mad and she even burns me…"

"She—what?" she asked baffled.

"I need to speak with Princess Amanda. I have this feeling that she's the key for all of the confusion that I am feeling these days."

"Tell me, Kuya. What did she exactly do to you?" Almira's full of worried eyes makes me worried too.

"It's really not her. She murmurs about hatred towards the people, she exactly said my people killed her dragons."

Almira gasps that makes her covered her mouth. Then, I continue telling her everything that happened that night and that includes this early morning. Almira said that she'll entertain Adhiti when she wakes up so I can travel to the Psychē to visit the Princess.

I started packing few meals and pieces of formal clothes. It will take at least two days to get there with my horse. I feed the horses and pour buckets of water on their drinking through. I got startled almost my heart jumps out from my chest when Adhiti screams my name. I immediately walk back inside towards the bedroom. She's standing with a satin sheet around her naked body.

"D-did you undress me?!" she asked really peeved. I flushes remembering how beautiful her full nude body.

"Uhm, I…" he murmurs. She was about to kick my balls but, I immediately caught her with giggles and kiss her forehead. "Babe, love, I need to talk to you. Okay? I am leaving to Psychē. Is it alright if Almira will stay here with you?"

"W-why?" she asked as her eyes started becoming lonely.

"It is something that I am concerned about you. I need to speak to the Highest Highness about few things that confuses me. It will only take few days."

"How many days to be precise?" she asked, wrapping her arms around my nape.

"Seven days maybe. I have to travel there that will takes two days plus another two. I have to stay on the Kingdom for two days about my consultation and about the festival."

She sigh in very dramatic way. And when she realized that she's still nude, she hold the satin sheet that is wrapped around her body and grimaced at me. I only smiles, friskily like showing her how much I love her without those covers.

"He-" Almira stop when she saw us. She gave an eyes rolling and turn back. I just shrugged and kiss her shoulders, down to her arms.

"I love you." I murmur.

"You have to leave early so you could get back to me shorter than seven days." She said. I trace few kisses on her marks on her shoulder that makes her giggles. Beautiful.

After I pack few clothes and food for my travel, I immediately leave my cottage. Giving lots of missing-you-kisses and hugs to my love. I will simply miss embracing her, deal with her changing of moods and identity and cuddling with her. How much time should I miss to cuddle her and kiss her?

I prepare my horse for my voyage giving him enough food and water and grooming him. Staying in the Kingdom of Psyche might take all my time on helping preparing on the five Kingdom's festival as a united one that will be held on the Kingdom of Psyche.

I glance around me, my cabin has full of wild animals that sometimes hard to tame. I remember. The day when Wendy came to visit me. It was clear on my mind. The anger of Adhiti makes all of those herd angry at my guests. I still can see on Wendy's eyes on how surprised and shaking she is. I have to speak for the herds of wolves to calm them, but even my horses are acting bizarre. Wendy's warriors stepped and pulls out their swords. I raise my hand to them to stop them from attacking my animals.

"W-what is this Prince Nicholas? Did you summon them to scare me?" Wendy shakily asked, hiding from behind of her gigantic warrior.

"It confuses me too. There might be dark shadows around you, that's why they are acting bizarre. It is not that I am saying you are the dark shadows, but my guardians around my cabin never acted this way."

"How impudent you are Prince Nicholas." She gritted her teeth.

"No, Princess Wendy. You simply mistakenly took my words. You have to leave if you wanted to live…" I murmurs. I look around me. No dark shadows that gets into people's mind. But simply a summon from the Goddess.

"There's no dark shadows around. But only your animals are acting bizarre."

"My sincerely apologizes Princess Wendy…" I turn back from them and tried to hush the alpha of the wolves. "Alpha, all is well. No one will harm your pack." The wolf's fangs elongates and it is staring at them. "Alpha, I command you to retrieve." I said in very powerful voice. They are calms and even the horses stopped whining. I face them and they all put down their swords. "Would you still like to get in?" I asked them while caressing the thick fur of the Alpha that is now sitting.

"No, thank you. I had enough this day." I smell the soup that I prepare and I guess they smelled it too. "I am looking forward on your visit on my castle." I bow my head to her and they all hurried on leaving. I grinned and kissed the alpha's head.

"Good job." I walk inside and it baffles me about the twines crawling my cabins. "Adhiti." I found her sitting attractively on the velvet chair like a queen wearing an emerald dress that shows her perfect curve and has a long slit in the middle that shows her perfect long legs. "Did you just…"

"Oh, I do. I hate her so much." She said hatefully while she's twirling her fingers on the goblet that she's is drinking. Her emerald eyes look directly into my eyes. She's acting really weird. "Where's my kisses?" no, that's not weird.

I walk towards her leaning my hands on the arm of the chair as I bend down, licking her lips, biting down her lower lips so lightly and kissing her passionately. Her hands crawl on my nape pulling me to her to deepen the kiss. She smell like jasmine and lemon grass. I pulls her up and she jumped on me grinding her hips as she wrapped her long legs around me. She gasped when I leave her lips, we are both panting from that hot session and I started kissing her neck, nibbling it gently. Her breathing hitches as her fingers pulls my hair. Good. That turns me on.

"Ohh, Nick…" I shove my face between her chests that is slowly exposing her breast. I left her chest and crawls my kiss up to her throat to her lips. "Really, I am hungry." Her emerald eyes that surrounds a hazel-nut color around meets mine.

"Ready to taste my specialty?" I smack hard her lips.

"Oh, I do…" she breathed. "Let's do that again later." She's talking about our session. I would very much to give her pleasure. She giggles and unfurl her legs around me.

I will really miss her so much. But I have to hurry to ride on my mustang Pillet to catch a boat to the Kingdom of Psyche. My stomach hurts a little because of the nervousness that I am feeling. What if Adhiti holds the souls of the Goddess? Or what if she is the keeper of the souls? I am afraid that I will lose my love. I am afraid to lose her again.

I didn't sleep but I only stop for a while to feed my horse and to give him energy. I only have two hours to catch the boat to Psyche on the harbor. 24 hours to ride on the boat to Psyche and two hours to travel to the house of the Highest Highness Princess Amanda.

I travel, I can't stop thinking about her. What if she's not safe on my cabin? Lately, I had seen shadows around. Dark shadows. Princess Amanda warns me about them. They can enter anywhere and if they can feel your anger, madness, fears…they are can easily possess you. They are known as son of Abyss who lives on the Abyss of Torment, known as his castle or hell.

I pray for Almighty God to keep my love safe away from those shadows of Torment. After hours of waiting, the gigantic castle of the Psyche is coming to my view and as we come closer and closer. I slept for hours and hours with Pillet. I don't even know why I called her Pillet. It just suits her because she's an adorable mare.

"I wonder why his highness is riding a public ship." I glanced at the Captain of the ship. The old friend of mine. He tip his fedora hat to mine with nod and smile showing his two golden teeth.

"I am in hurry, Captain Seagull." I call him that name because he loves seagull and whenever I am riding here with Princess Amanda as she took me to her castle where there are few in-training maidens and where she also open a school for young ladies for proper etiquette. Maybe I should bring Adhiti with me next time. So she can meet her.

Then remembering again. Princess Amanda is Adhiti's biological mother. I don't know what really happens and how those things happens. Princess Amanda told me everything, every consequences and on why I should protect her with all of my life.

"Meeting the Highest Princess?"

"Yes. And helping a little bit for the festival."

He chat a little bit about his sailing and about he missed the times when the Goddess of Water, sea, oceans, lake and rivers sang to them to give them a safe travel. I had never met the Goddess before they died. I had read about the assassination from the Elder who wrote the history. Every Kingdom's has a history and how their Goddesses gave them a gift for protecting their Kingdoms from Abyss's children.

"Pass my greetings to Princess Amanda."

"Aye." I salute at him and pulls my hood. "Have a great day Captain Seagull!" I winks and departed with my Pillet. I immediately rode my horse directly to the House of Princess Amanda. It was less than two hours. I pull my mask and show my face to the guard and he gave me pass.

Few servants greets me as they took Pillet from me. They will feed her and groom her. The servant's already know that I am going to talk to Princess Amanda. The usual clothing is white long dress and slippers for them. Georgina is Princess Amanda's loyal servant. She's the Head Mistress of the house which is more like the manager.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Sure." I utter and look around. "Where's her highness?"

"She's on the library with the ladies. Would you like to meet her now or have a rest and to bath?"

"I would like to have a bath first. I don't want to meet her highness with dirt." She giggles and nods at me. She leads me to my room in the house, well the house is like a small castle, a mansion and full of rooms.

After I take a bath and change my clothes in more formal but still simple. I am not used on wearing heavy clothes with full of glimmering stones. That doesn't suit me. Adhiti might laugh at me. She love me better without shirt and on ripped jeans. Just thinking about her makes me miss her so much. If we have cellphones here and network tower and electricity, I can hear her voice every time I wanted.

I sipped on the delicious wine and feel refreshed already. I took few sweet grapes and went directly to the library where she teaches. I just got a feeling that I wanted to see her. I miss Princess Amanda and wanted to embrace her. The door is open as usual and I peek on her and glanced at few beautiful maidens who are laughing gracefully as Princess Amanda is telling them a secret about boys. Which is I guess, men's ego. Princess Amanda has never been in lots of relationship, the only she love all of her life is Darius. Said to be a human.

"So if your father visited your chamber with a young man, though you don't like them, you have to make a move to kick them out. Am I right Prince Nicholas?" she asked me the question as they all looked at me. I smiled charmingly at them.

"I have to agree with you, Princess. You are always right most of the time."

I can see and feel that they are all gaping at me and murmuring about me. Yeah, I am all used at that and if Adhiti saw them, she will probably shoot a glare at them or worse if one of them flirt at me, she will surely burn their hair. No. I have to shake that possibilities. That's not right.

"That's all for today, ladies. I have a date with this young handsome prince." She walk towards me. I

spread my arms and she embraced me kissing my cheeks. "I miss my little Prince." She scoop my arms and I nods at them as we exited the room.

"Well, your little prince is not little anymore." I told her. She giggles at me as we went to her secret garden.

"You must be tired. How's my Princess?"

"Well, that's why I am here. My concerns about her. I missed her though."

"I am sure that she can take care of herself. I sent my messenger to look over her."

The servant's bows at her as they pass us. When I saw that white big cotton like wolf my eyes immediately lit up. He crawls up at me and I immediately embraced him.

"Oh, Ruin. I missed you so, so much!" I even kiss his nuzzle.

"Sometimes, I think, we need to meet." Princess Amanda utter. "My heart feel empty. And that's what Ruin feel too. He misses her so much."
