Master of Death

Chapter 48

Next day in morning, Consorts and Lovers of Hadrian came to Hadrian's bedroom to wake him up. They wanted to surprise him but got surprised by seeing new twins with their King. Hadrian felt presence of all his bonded, so he opened his eyes with smile.

Hadrian: "Good morning, Love"
Terry came forward with smile: "Good morning king, you look better"
Hadrian Laughed: "What's with this look everyone? Oh they are my newly bonded from outer space. You do know two objects I carried with me from Space. Well death told me about them and here we are."
Theo: "You don't have to explain us anything my lord, we are just shocked."
Hadrian: "I understand. Now what should we name them? They don't have any name."
All had confused look by question.
Hadrian: "This is there new physical form, when I mated to them they were in their spiritual form only so this is new life for them."
Ernie: "Can we see your spiritual form?"
"Why not dear"
Hadrian changed his form for couple of minute before returning to his physical form.
Charlie with blush: "That was so hot"
Hadrian just laughed and stood up from his bed.
Hadrian: "Come here each of you. I missed you all so much"
Hadrian kissed and hugged all his bonded.
Tom: "Let's go to court room there are many people waiting for you my king"
Hadrian: "Of course love, let me take shower and change then we can go together. Why don't you guys help twins for their first day on earth and in Kingdom"
They nodded. 
As Hadrian got ready, he along with all his lovers including twins who they named Aiden and Ethan (overseer) went to court. Hadrian had smile and surprised look seeing all decoration on walk way. He gasped as he reached court room. Every one was present with marvelous outfits and it looked like festival type decoration. He thought that's why death didn't wanted him to walk. He then looked at Terry with accusing eyes.

Terry looked on floor: "Everybody wanted to welcome you on your return and celebrate. We realize that it's century from the day you became King of Atlantis so it's occasion of double celebration. We decided to surprise you not with just small celebration but something big. Come with us my king and see what this Kingdom and it's people have prepared"

Hadrian nodded with smile and followed them. There was parade like formation with many animals and performers. Each of houses has different color decoration, Kingdom of death master can make brightest star look deem.  There was crackers, cheering and performance everywhere. Instead of taking ride Hadrian decided to walk, his guards and lovers followed suit. Hadrian respectfully thanked each person who greeted him. To make the show more better Hadrian used his demonic powers, but instead of fear it showed happy memories to everyone. Hadrian cast his signature patronas spell after asking everyone to touch soil of Atlantis. Thousands of animals hologram started running in sky in between people giving them tickling and happy feeling. Twins also have smile all the time on their faces seeing all this new things also how their beloved is respected and liked by everyone.

The whole day passed with celebration and grand feast. Next day in morning Vulcan came to Hadrian to ask for permission to leave. Hadrian can feel there was hesitation in Vulcan's voice.

Hadrian: "What is it love? What are you trying to hide from me?"
Vulcan looking at floor only: "It's...It's nothing"
Hadrian: "I can feel it Vulcan. Tell me or else I will use my powers to make you say it"
Vulcan: "When I was on my tasked mission, I got many allies. Empress Neramani (Deathbird) of Shi'ar Empire took special interest in me and offered something."
Hadrian: "Shi'ar Empress that's very powerful ally, what she offered"
Vulcan: "She offered to make me Emperor if I marry her."
Now Hadrian turn his head not to give disappointed look in eye contact:" And what do you want?"
Vulcan with tears: "It's pretty big opportunity for me and our mission"
Hadrian: "You know I am not asking that Gabe"
Vulcan dropped on his knees: "I know what you want to know. I don't like her like that. I don't want anyone except you but this is ones in life time opportunity for me."
Hadrian also sat on his knees near vulcan: "If that's what you want than I can free you from my mark. I can wipe out all memories of me and my love, you can have happy married life with her."
Vulcan cried heavily: "That's not what I want. I don't want to remove my mark or want any one to touch me. I just want to be Emperor to powerful species and warriors. I want to prove you I am worthy choice."
Hadrian kissed him on forehead to calm him down: "You are worthy my love. Each of my bonded have place in my heart. I love you all no matter what choices you make."
Vulcan with pleading look: "Do you have any other way apart from what you suggested? I refuse to make love with anyone else. I have been thinking about this from last 3 months but I just can't find anything."
Hadrian with sad eyes: "There is one way but it will be very painful."
Vulcan with determined look: "I am ready for pain"
Hadrian shook his head (in negative way): "Not physical gabe. I can give you Atlantis ring. Whenever you will have wear ring on you, it will make your clone with sexual desire. This clone will have your physical stamina but no powers. When you remove ring the clone will disappear but you will get all of his memories in your mind like you did it which can give you mental pain.  Clone can't produce offspring. Moreover if I don't remove my mark you will not be able to have sex with her. Are you sure you want to go through such painful life?"
Vulcan hesitated: "I.."
Hadrian stopped him by putting his figures on Vulcan's lips: "Shh gabe.. you don't have to answer it now. Think about it then tell me when you have answer and you are ready. Just don't stress out by worrying much, I will accept whatever you decide."
Vulcan nodded. 
Hadrian looked at Vulcan and asked: "Can I?"
Vulcan nodded again and they kissed which led to heavy make out session. As Vulcan slept in Hadrian's embrace, Hadrian just kept playing with Vulcan's hair with sad eyes. Hadrian has many lovers but never ones he put one above or below other. For him each had part and place in his heart. So removing his possession mark from his lover is as painful for him as  heartbreak. He wanted to cry about what will happen if Vulcan doesn't want him but he can't. He have to be strong, but that didn't stop the raw emotion. After few minutes he also slept. 

After an hour Vulcan woke up and looked. His head was in King's lap. King was asleep but  there was frozen tear on his cheek. This made Vulcan realize that how much his King actually loves him. He never doubted his king's love but never knew it will be this intense that even thought of loosing him can bring tears on his eyes. He tried to get up, which also woke up Hadrian.
Hadrian: "Hey..Slept well?"
Vulcan nodded.
Hadrian didn't know what to say so he got up from bed trying to leave room when Vulcan hugged him from behind to stop. 
Vulcan: "I have made my decision"
Hadrian froze for a moment his heart started thumbing at faster rate, Vulcan can also feel it.
Hadrian took long breath to calm himself then: "ok what have you decided?"
Vulcan: "I want ring"
Hadrian turned to make eye contact: "Are you sure? I know you are doing this for me. I will be fine gabe. There are many people to help me but you will be alone. Think again the mental torture will be unbearable for you. "
Vulcan with smile: "I have given enough thought. Our make out made me realize what I will miss if I loose you. I know if you remove mark and my memory, I will not remember you. But I am sure that I will feel some hole in my heart which no one can feel no matter what. I don't want that feeling and I know I will never be alone. I know you will come for me in a moment I call you. I can deal with all mental trauma. I can't loose first person in my life who showed me love and happiness after dealing with all torture in my childhood."
Hadrian with small smile gave him ring: "if you ever feel to change your decision just let me know without any hesitation."
Vulcan took ring and kissed Hadrian: "I will my love. See you soon"
 With that Vulcan fly from there to go in space.
