Wormwood

All Grown Up

                  Present Day- 6th May, 2025

        Its been nine years since the arrival of wormwood and eight years since we started training with them; the fourth trumpet had not sounded yet. There were rumors that the war and the end wouldn't happen again, some said that God hadn't made up his mind yet, while others went back to their old habits and way of live. Six years ago king Saros inaugurated a tournament in honor of my father, the highest ranking officer in Nigeria, chief of defence staff Matthew. He and the king had grown fond of themselves and spent a lot of time discussing business that didn't concern us. On the other hand the princess and prince started getting close to us, teaching us everything they knew combat wise, we in turn taught them table manners and how to get girls (in prince Sirius' case he was a staunch prude). I just turned 18 and Mmaette 21 so king Saros made the tournament in our honor this year. Prince Sirius and Princess Aerglo had grown stronger over the years and were undefeated in the games but we too were undefeated although for some reason the king never let us fight in the finals.

'Have you guys ever wondered why your father won't let us fight in the final stage of the tournament?' Mmaette asked wearing her training gear.

'Your father!' Sirius answered, gearing up too for our usual daily training together.

'What does our father have to do with his decision?' I asked walking into the empty arena.

'They are very good friends.' Aerglo intruded. She seldom smiled or spoke, but had the sweetest heart. Sirius is older but everyone always thought she was because of her carriage and for the fact that she fought very well. When we started training she was always upset she couldn't beat me.

'I know how much you like her but don't let her kick your stupid ass again; its quite humiliating to walk around with you when you lose.' Mmaette whispered into my ears

'Like I care what you think mama!' I retorted making the middle finger

'I'm going to tell dad you're swearing.' She laughed

'Whatever.' I scoffed

'Have you finished whining?' Aerglo taunted taking her fighting stance with a smirk

'You look ready today.' I said with a smile

'I think your sister is a badass, I'm in love with how she moves.' Mmaette complimented, with Sirius just staring confused.

'Mmaette, its been 8 years and you're still saying no to me, may I ask why?' Sirius asked

'Like I said before I'm not ready for a relationship. And even if I was it can't be you...'

'Why!?'

'Dude you're not human, although you have our form, I don't even know what my womb will conceive. Sweetheart that space between my legs is not a laboratory.' She rolled her eyes

'Ready?' Aerglo asked charging towards me

Practice was always brutal, strenuous and long especially because we all enjoyed training with each other. Prince Sirius was in love with my sister or maybe infatuated, although he was strong Mmaette always won him during training ---he probably let her because he couldn't bring himself to hurt her. Mmaette had grown into a human goddess, her curves, face, her breast and buttocks were nearly fully formed. She is the picture that gives young men wild dreams and older men broken homes. For some reason she never seemed to pay any attention to all the passes made at her no matter how handsome. Dad was never worried in fact he said she was focused and she would be very great with that type of determination. I, on the other hand had a thing for Aerglo but she was either stubborn or too proud to admit she felt the same way.

For the romance lovers, I know wormwood has been a little bit stiff and full of muscle so we'll relax a little.
