Mates

Chapter 8

TITUS

The councils, the Queen and I stood at the magnificent waterfall looking down deep. The witches used a locator spell where they match my visions and the picture of Akasha. Which lead us here. We already sent royal soldiers to swim under but they all come back empty handed. I sighed in defeat. Then Anya appeared along with princess Victoria with anger in her face. The witches removed the freezing spell making the princess fall and gasp. "How dare you all i could reap you into shreds!!!!" she angrily shouted at us. "calm down Victoria.." the Queen said to her sister. "i commanded them to bring you to me.." "i said i don't want to take part any of this!" the princess said. "we heard you loud and clear. Just release the Titan and you are free to go." the Queen answered. The princess sighed and look at the waterfalls. "so this is where she held prisoned?" she asked almost in whisper. "yes.." the Queen said. She sighed heavily "Fine. I'll release her but you should keep your word." "i promise.." the Queen answered. "okay old man where is she exactly?" the princess asked me. I pointed at the center of the falls. "There deep under.. Royal soldiers will also join you but you are the only one could go further..the witches will do a protective spell while you're there.." she nod and immediately dive inside the water. I prayed to the moon Goddess the safety of our princess and her mate.

VICTORIA

I swam deeper into the dark waters. I didn't know why but my heart beats faster and faster as i moved towards the core of the waterfall. I saw the soldiers escorting me slowly disappearing one by one until i was left alone. It was dark and i couldn't see anything, i just knew that i have to swim deeper, i was almost out of breath when i saw flickering lights under. I moved towards it and was shocked to see a golden tombstone with big chains around. I pulled it with all my strength and quickly visualize the land teleported before i ran out of air. I gasp and coughed the water out. My lungs hurt from the prolonged lack of air. Lexa immediately covered my shivering body with a heavy towel. I half whispered "thank you." cause I'm still finding my voice. She smiled at me warmly then turned to the tombstone. I followed her gaze and saw how beautiful it is. It has red gems around it, outlined with blacklines and sculpted perfectly. One soldier tried to touch it but Titus immediately stopped him "Don't touch it or you'll end up dead. Only the chosen one can touch and unlock the tomb." He looked at me and said "your highness?" i sighed and walked towards it. I touched the lock and was about to pull it but it unlocked on its own. The heavy chains fell into the ground. Then heavy smoke came out from the tomb we all stepped back. And was now in battle stance if ever something dangerous came out. I could hear and feel my heart fast beating. I stopped breathing when i saw a beautiful creature standing before us. I could feel her powerful aura radiating on every inch of her body. She's wearing a white body hugging silk gown with single strap and slit exposing her milky white skin. Her long Raven hair flow with the wind and her piercing gray eyes can capture everyone's heartbeat. Everyone stood still not moving an inch. She scanned the area till our eyes met. We held our gaze for i don't know how long till Titus cleared his throat drawing us to reality.

TITUS

The look of the Princess says it all. She was enchanted by Akasha's beauty well who wouldn't though. She's indeed a definition of a Goddess. Her pictures from the books could not justify her real beauty. When they gaze each other i knew hope glimmers. And even the Queen and the commander noticed it. The Queen smirked at them while the commander shaked her head. I cleared my throat to draw their attention towards me. "'ahlaan bikum mn jadid aliha (welcome back Goddess)" i said while bowing at her. She followed my every movements eyeing me carefully. "min 'ant? 'ayn ana? (who are you? Where am I?)" she asked.
"'ana titus 'uwrakl fi hadha alwaqti. laqad tama al'iifraj eank min qibal maty al'amirat fiktwrya. nahn bihajat masat limusaeadatikum. ealamuna fi khatar kabir ... jbabrt 'ukhraa yatun lilmalikat wazamiliha ..(I'm Titus an oracle in this time. You were freed by your Mate princess Victoria. We badly need your help. Our world are in great danger... The other Titans are coming for our Queen and her mate..) " i explained to her. She turned to the Princess again then looked at me" nem .. rafiqati la turiduni (yes.. A mate that doesn't want me..) " she said with sadness in her voice. I looked away and was shocked that she knew about Princess Victoria's feelings" 'akhuati wa'akhwati khantuny. jasheahum washahwat alsultat 'uzeijuu altawazun. 'iidha tasababuu fi mushkilat marat 'ukhraa fi hadha alwaqt falan 'ataradad fi aldifae ean ealamikum dadahum ..(My sisters and brother betrayed me. Their greed and lust for power disturbed the balance. If they caused trouble again in this time then i won't hesitate to defend your world against them..) she said. I bowed to her "shukraan lak (thank you...)" she slightly smiled then turned to the Queen. The witches, wolves and vampires are still awe with her beauty. She walked towards her and we are all shocked as the Titan as herself bowed to the Queen" haris alqamar .. sa'ukhdamuk kamalaka .." she said the Queen was confused and looked at me i immediately translated it to her" she said keeper of the moon I'll serve you as my Queen.. "the Queen looked at the Titan kneeling before her. She extended her right arm pulling her up and smiled" no need to bow Goddess cause i now considered you as my equal.. My world is also your world now.. " the Queen said. Akasha was confused and i immediately translate it for her." la hajatan 'iilaa alrudukh alihat alsabab 'ana alan taetabaruk musawi li .. ealami hu 'aydaan ealamk alan" the Goddess smiled and bowed. Then she turned to her mate who is still stuck in place. We were surprised when in a swift motion of her hands princess Victoria levitated towards her. I heard the princess gasp. The Goddess scanned her face intently with eyes that reflects compassion and sadness. She caressed the princess face gently with her right hand then closed their gap. The princess was shocked when the Goddess kissed her directly on the lips then she let go and whispered " 'ant hura.. ". She put down the princess on the ground and stepped back then she bowed. The Goddess accepted rejection and i sighed heavily. Just like that hope fades away..
