Swirling Storms: Book 1

Orexis

''Where do you think you are going?''

His sea-green eyes were filled with worry, Julienne noticed. The very ones she fell for and the ones her child, giggling in her arms had got from her father. His gaze dropped to his daughter, and Julienne saw how all the stars in the world shined in green as he picked the six-month-old child up and swayed her around, her laughter encasing the house with pure delight.

''Sei, you know he's my brother-''

''Yes, the very brother who disowned you, darling, I remember that right''

''Of course, you do. But you know Lily is a very sweet person, and besides I want to visit her and my nephew after all that happened to them-''

''And what if something happens to you, darling? How am I supposed to bear it? How is Ave supposed to bear it?'' He put his hand on her cheek and bought her daughter between them so she clutched her mother's cloak.

''Sei, you know the Dark Lord attacked them. I knew Harry was the child of the prophecy, but I was unaware of how the Dark Lord beat the Fidelius charm. I have to go and support them. And besides, me and Ave will be fine'', she said, taking her daughter in her arms, ignoring his cry of protest as she turned away and he hugged her from behind.

''But I will miss you''

''Sei, you have survived millennia without me''

''Survived, darling. Not lived"

"Stop trying to charm me into staying back, because it's not working'', she said in response to his jade green eyes scrunched in an attempt to be cute, much like her daughter.

''Sei, we'll be fine. He's my nephew, I have to visit him'', she said getting her luggage zipped up with her wand and taking her daughter in her arms. She hugged her lover and he embraced her back, wishing the serenity of this moment could last longer than his life. But Julienne pulled away, and his daughter kissed him on his cheek as he ruffled her hair.

Julienne sent her luggage ahead to the Potter mansion by floor. He found it weird that fireplaces and a magical powder could be used to commute people and goods, but this was her world (Hecate's really), so he just said 'magic' and moved on. And he knew how fatal it would be for her to venture into his world, so he tried to gatekeep as many of these precious moments as he could.

Julienne waved back at him from the fireplace, her auburn red hair encased in a plait, her copper eyes warm with love. Their daughter also waved back enthusiastically at her father, green eyes so similar to him, like the sea waves and that messy mahogany hair she inherited from her mortal grandfather flying in the wind. 

Several years had passed, yet the memory of that moment remained vivid in his mind. It was a poignant memory, for it marked the final time he laid eyes on his loved ones. As the ruler of a vast realm, he held dominion over the oceans, commanding their ebb and flow. However, despite his formidable power and the boundless expanse of water at his command, he could not secure the treasure his heart so desperately craved.

His Ave.

AN- I know, I know, you all are waiting for the first chapter, and the introductions and all, but please bear with me, I am also writing another story and my junior college will start soon, so updates gonna be slow, but I promise, I'll be here.

So, Ave is going to have the events of the events of the wizarding world as they are in her lifetime and the first Percy Jackson series. We will meet Percy in the Titan's War, though he will be introduced earlier. I just wanted to give a glimpse of the special relationship between Ave's mother and father, and how she is much more precious to him, as not only she is his first demigod daughter, but now according to the timeline, she is also the first child of the big three, even before Thalia (Nico and Bianca are still stuck in the Lotus Casino, so yeah).

Thank you all for the love and the next chapter will be posted after at least 20 comments! Bye!
