05/05/2020  ESMERALDA RETURNS HOME Category: Uncategorized Esmeralda had had enough.  She had come to see to her ailing father and now it was Vlad’s turn to watch over him.  He was a vampire; vampires did not get sick and die nor would her father.  She had sat the throne of her kingdom and ruled as the Queen with her brother at her side but it was not her brother she wanted at her side.  Her mind often drifted to the memories of her and Apollo camping on that mountain top but alas he as called home and she was called here.  She wrote at first then time with the troubles of this land kept her tired and she did not write nor did Apollo.  So this is the time to go to Atlantis and see if there was a spark of hope that their life together was far from over.  Their son, Adonis, was with his father and he did not write and so this worried her even more.  “Vlad, are my things now loaded on the ship.  I know I could portal there but unsure what I would portal into.  What was happening that they do not write.  Apollo is my soul and Adonis my heart and I must go to them now.  I will sail on the morrow and you can take care of father.  The nurses will see to him.  I do not know what this illness is nor do you so you must protect yourself too my brother.  Please, I will stay no longer as I must need to go where my heart truly is.  If Apollo no longer wants or needs me, I still have my son there.  It has been far too long and I have to set my life back in order.” Vlad put his arms out to embrace her “We will be fine, you will keep in touch or I shall come looking for you and that family of yours.  If you are sure than leave with my blessings and fathers for he would want it this way.  He will come out of this and we shall both visit you.  But if this Apollo hurts you in any way, breaks your heart, there will be hell to pay my sister.” He said knowing that Apollo would not have been his father nor his choice of husband for her.  The man was half werewolf by the demons!  On the morning of the next day Esmeralda said farewell to her father in his bed and then at the docks to her brother.  She walked up the gangplank and onto the deck.  Turning back to the docks she waved to those that were there to see her off safely.  Thus her journey began as she went below to her cabin and changed clothes into a pair of black trousers and a white pirates shirt that hung loosely about her since it was her father’s shirt.  Then she came up the stairs and back onto the deck going to the stern she braced her hands on the oak railing and gazed out at the waves and wondered at the beauty of the Sun and sea.  The day was uneventful and when  evening came she had her meal and her blood then went into her cabin and bedded down in the wide berth.   Suddenly as it comes on the seas a monstrous storm brewed and boiled as it sent the swells of waves higher and harder dashing against the boat.  Esmeralda could hear the men above battening down the hatches.  The Captain came below and called to her through her door “Lass!  Stay in yer room its coming hard and fast this storm and tis not a good one.”   Esmeralda sat up “Alright I will!” she shouted over the booming thunder and lightening.  But suddenly the ship’s large mast crashed down and she had to go up and see if she could help.  It was at that time that lightning crackled an ominous spray across the heavens and the ship was torn asunder.  Esmeralda found herself in the water and trying to cling to a piece of wood.  She closed her eyes and transformed into the mermaid that she was then turned loose of the wood and went under to start swimming towards Atlantis.  That was as her fist instinct was that fateful day she was saved by Apollo.  After swimming miles and miles she was swept up on the shore of Atlantis but was unconscious and did not look like the royal princess she was….   06: PM 4 Comments  (Add Comment)  | 0 Kudos  Back to Blog List

	Queen Esmeralda Tepes Dracul Orcus {M_L~ Apollo} {TAK}	ESMERALDA RETURNS HOME PT 5 Esmeralda was in a dream state remembering the storm that had come out of nowhere and caused the seas to pitch and churl and the ship creaked and groaned. The lightning struck like Poseidon’s trident with many shards striking at the ship until it splintered apart. Esmeralda stood at the railings and tried to see what she could of anything that had dared to bring this storm. Was it the Gods? No she was befriended by the gods, well most of them. Yet something was behind this storm. Someone didn’t want her to go back to Atlantis, to Apollo, to her family….. The next thing that she dreamed was falling into the sea and being battered about. She was dreaming that she had survived a horrendous storm at sea and that she shapeshifted into her mermaid shape. She was swimming with a protective school of bottlenose dolphin. There was no thoughts, no direction, just a voice saying in her thoughts ‘Swim my daughter, ‘People linked by Destiny will always find each other’. So she let the dolphins take her to where she must go. If fishermen saw a school of dolphin leaping and playing they might squint to see what the shimmer of mystical colours were with them. Could it be a mermaid? But they were myths, magic, not real at all. But before they could move closer the dolphins and their guest were gone from sight. Under water Esmeralda was in awe of the colours of the fish, the coral reefs, everything that most human eyes did not see under the sea but in paintings, and other art forms. Many of that was guessed at! On one occasion she remembered a great white shark circling around them. He was about to strike for his meal and he didn’t care if it were fish or mermaid. It was then that the dolphins scattered but the one that took charge of her swam her over to one of those coral reefs and nudged her into the middle of it. She was well hidden in all the vibrant colours but if the shark sensed her the prickly corals would protect her. Her protector then swam away from the corals and into the open water. The shark neared the corals and niffed around it. Spotting something shimmering in the corals he thought to himself ‘a mermaid!’. He would gourmet eat today! And he dove into the coral but just as quickly he turned and swam away. The corals all closed in and their jaggy bits of stems were like sharp razor blades. So the shark decided to follow after the dolphin that had tricked him. Yet the dolphin was more agile and swam in and out of places the shark could not get to and thus the shark went off looking for an easier meal and the dolphin called in high pitched tones to the rest of his school and they came back for Esmeralda. No time was wasted now and a large strong hand scooped up her body much larger than the body that now swam with the dolphins at a speed unnatural. The trident in the other hand a deep voice spoke to her mentally ‘Soon, soon we will have you home brave one, you are your mother’s daughter and like your father you are a survivor. Your destiny lay before you. I will see that nothing more will dare to harm you Princess.’ Next she dreamed she had washed up on a shore and lay there on her stomach as her body changed back to human form. She had hit her head on some driftwood from the very ship that she had been on. Esmeralda you fool, why did you not just open a portal and take you and your gifts safely to Atlantis. She dreamt or was it a dream, of being lifted in the strong protective arms of her beloved Apollo. She put a hand to his face and looked into his eyes and said “We have to stop meeting this way, people will talk”. But now she was at home in their bed and yet she could not awaken. Something was wrong and she lay there in her dream state this time fighting that shark over and over. Her body suddenly began twitching and jerking as her mind fought that shark. Not being able to awake, not being able to talk, …. Not beginning to remember!

She had managed to swim with the dolphins as the ship had run aground oh so close, so very very close to home. The dolphins and sea creatures knew her well and where she truly belonged. Her mother’s spirit guided them as they swam as far as they could to the shoreline of Atlantis. The ship was gone, its cargo at the bottom of the ocean only a mile off the Alantean coast. When the dolphins could swim no closer the great octapus God Cthulhu, picked up the beautiful woman in his arms and carried her as far as he could inshore to where she could breath. He lay her gently down on the ground then disappeared away into the deepest part of the sea. “You are home Princess, the rest is up to fate, yours and his.” He said as he left. Esmeralda lay on her stomach now on the cool sand but was unaware of where she was. She just wanted to rest, to sleep, and in her dreams find her love. She dreamed of a small cottage in a forest where she and Apollo fell in love, Apollo … it was always Apollo, she had never loved another. Adonis, she had given him a son, Adonis. Her mind was a whirling mass of memories, good and bad. She needed to calm her mind. To focus at least on one thing, one person, and that person was Apollo. Thoughts of them living so peacefully at their cottage he had built for them. She could swear she smelt the flowers and his, his scent. The wolf, the vampire, her beloved man. Peacefully breathing but shallowly she could even feel the warmth of his strong body as he used to hold her. If his quiet strength when they made love. Her last time she saw him… that was on their camping trip up a Romanian mountain. Their lovemaking there until a message was carried on the winds to her of her father’s illness and her brother’s need of her to come as he could not cope. She and Apollo split up then, he had to go back to Atlantis and his family there. She promised it would not be long and she would return home to him. That sadly was not the case as his father lingered on death’s door and she and Vlad did all they could to make him comfortable. Time flew like the sands of an hourglass and eventually it had become four long years. She and Apollo wrote back and forth at first but then that even became painful as both did what they had to do. Their son Adonis at his father’s side when needed had also come to visit her in the country she ruled, Romania, but he was at an age he wanted to see the world and so he did. Finally it had come to the point she could no longer stand the distance between her and Apollo. Her mind remembered the ship she was taking back as she had accumulated so many gifts for her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Apollo, Adonis and countless others. But fate was not kind and a storm of unfathomable proportion set on the ship and tossed it around as if it were a child’s beach ball. Then she felt the cold water and unconsciousness as she had hit her head on the mast as it fell to the sea. Now she just lay there and breathed in gently the scent of Apollo as if he were there, she opened her mouth and inhaled as something slipped into her and filled her whole being. She was sure she was now dead or gone mad for she thought she heard his voice. “Es, Es wake up” and so she slowly dared to open her eyes once more as droplets of wet tears hit her face. She suddenly drew in a quick breath and started sputtering and coughing but she got out the surprised words “Apollo! Apollo! Is it truly you! Are we alive or are we death….it does not matter we are together and she lay her head against his chest and put her hand there as well. She was weak of course but she would live!

	Queen Esmeralda Tepes Dracul Orcus {M_L~ Apollo} {TAK}	06-08-2020 3:06:54 Send Comment - Send Message - Block User Apollo picked up his wife cradled in his arms, and mumbled sweet words of love and encouragement as he walked her along the beach towards their cabin. “It’s a miracle that you swam ashore here instead of any of the other beaches. No, don’t talk, my gypsy queen, my love, save your strength. I am just so damn happy that you’re safe and home again. I’ve missed you more than any words can say.” The emotion in his voice threatened to spill over from his eyes. The Prince of Wolves kept talking gently to his wife, smiling down at her face and soft caresses with his fingers to relax her. That must have been a scary ordeal, being shipwrecked in the middle of such a fierce storm and gosh knows what else happened before she became beached. There are predators out in the big blue sea who would love to feast on a tender mermaid. He talked about the cottage and the pretty flowers that they had planted together, now in full vibrant bloom. He talked about his new hobby fishing and how much fun it was. By the time they’d got to their cottage, Apollo was all talked out. He didn’t know what else to say and so there was silence … and a flood of family memories entered the lapse of words. After laying Es on the couch and getting her comfortable with pillows and a blanket, Apollo went into the kitchen to brew a cup of herbal tea for her. As he waited, he thought about all the times they’d made love beneath the stars and the moon. He thought about the day she became pregnant with their son and how happy he was … and still is. His handsome son is the pride and joy of his heart, growing up to be quite the stud (like his father), and his beautiful daughter, Brailey the baby girl of their family, (and the brat); Apollo was blessed to have two healthy children and a phenomenal wife. He considered himself the utmost luckiest man in the whole entire world and beyond the cosmos. Looking around at the objects in the kitchen while waiting for the water to boil, Apollo realized that everything decorative in the kitchen was placed there by Esmeralda’s hand. Of course the kitchen was her personal space, where she got the most creative in cooking their food. Apollo smiled, now thinking of her most deliciously famed casserole dish. It was good to have Es home again. The high pitched whine of the teapot brought him back to the here and now. Carrying the teacup and its hot beverage back into the parlor, Apollo set it down on an end table and sat himself down next to his wife, resting peacefully. He’d noticed a few small bruises on her body but it seemed like her condition wasn’t worse than that. She had no visible cuts or broken bones. Being more than human; part mermaid, part vampire; he knew that she would heal in time. The fatigue of such an ordeal was great, she needed only to rest. He did not wake her for her tea, because it was too hot and would cool by the time she awakened. “Sleep my love, my one and only. Rest peacefully now, you are safe”, Apollo crooned as he lightly stroked her still damp hair. Her hair felt chilled to the touch. Warmth, she needs warmth, he turned to look at the cold stone mantel a brief second before jumping up to quickly stock the fireplace with wood and to light a fire within. It had been a long time since Apollo needed to tend to anyone, his two children were all grown up and starting their own individual lives, although they still visited him often and sought his guidance as a Dad. Esmeralda … he hurried back to her and sat down to hold her hand as she slept. He would be there when she awoke.

	Queen Esmeralda Tepes Dracul Orcus {M_L~ Apollo} {TAK}	Prince Apollo Orcus - Prince of Wolves **TAK** ~ M+L Esmeralda The Island of Atlantis was quiet … the quietude was thick in its absolute silence. His father had gone off to fight a battle somewhere and his mother stayed home alone in her great big castle with only her memories to keep her sane. Apollo would visit her weekly but she seemed to be doing ok. He remembered how she liked her solitude and did not want to be much of a bother to her, only checking up on her. With Esmeralda gone off to take care of her ailing father, his brother busy with wife and a new baby, Apollo decided to get a hobby… something fun to do when there was nothing else to do. He bought a fishing pole and a tackle box, some lures and bobber, sinkers, a spool of fishing line, a net and a filet knife. The first two days he was disappointed by the stormy weather and stayed home indoors but looked over his gear and self-instructed how to set up his pole. He would be ready when the weather got nicer out. Alone in his modest cottage, he sat on the front porch and watched the lightning and thunder sizzle across the sky. Walking along the edge of the beach with his new fishing pole slung over a shoulder and his tackle box with all his gear swinging gently in time to his long legged stride, Apollo looks around with a lazy smile at the scenic view. Fishing sure is a relaxing sport and if he catches anything big enough worth eating, he’ll be well fed and happy. He stopped at an ideal location and set up his fishing pole with a red spinner, cast it out into the ocean and reeled it back in. His mind was relaxed, not thinking of anything in particular but always Esmeralda was never too far from his wandering thoughts. He wasn’t paying much attention to the fishing experience, casting and reeling as if on autopilot until he felt a nibble and then he got focused on bringing the catch in. This went on for about an hour and he had 2 fat trout strung on a thin line of rope so they can stay alive immersed in the water and not swim away. Off in the distance, he mindlessly watched what seemed to be flotsam debris bob along with the rolling surf. At first he saw it but it didn’t register in his brain what he was seeing. Another chunk of debris floated in sight and slowly his brain started to wonder what it was. It had to be a debris from a small ship, he reasoned but without immediate worry. “That looks like a mast pole”, he said to himself as a long cylinder shape stabbed the wave and a torn piece of sail with its rigging trailing after. Now with his curiosity piqued, Apollo reeled in his fishing line and set the pole down on the beach. Further down the beach was a breakwater barrier that extended out to the entrance of the harbor. Apollo jogged over to that and followed it along, out 300 feet to look closer at the floating jetsam. It was definitely broken parts of a ship. His blood ran cold as he glanced further down the beach towards the lighthouse. Had a ship crashed on those rocks? “Oh gawd”, Apollo started running back to the beach and ran to the lighthouse. But before he got there, he saw an even more blood chilling sight; a human, possibly female, laying unconscious on the beach. He pushed his legs to run faster and slid to his knees next to the woman. She was lying on her face, so her identity was not yet known but there was a distinct familiarity in the body shape. His heart was up in his throat as Apollo gently turned the unconscious woman over. “Es!!”, he sobbed with unrestrained emotion, not believing his eyes and hoping she was still alive, but fearing that she was not. He held her limp body with an arm while smoothing back her wet hair with the other hand. His hand sought the warm breath of her mouth and nose and he lowered his face to hers as if to kiss. Apollo was a different kind of demon vampire. He did not feast on blood, but rather, on souls. The vitality of countless souls kept him young and healthy. Now he would give some of that ethereal energy to his wife, exchanged by a gentle kiss. A shinning beam of immortal power came out his mouth and went into hers. Apollo would age 15 years as the process of transfer depleted his vitality. His face filled out, developing a slight trace of wrinkles, as if a middle aged man. His hair naturally platinum blonde became streaked white with age. He no longer had the flawless beauty of youthfulness but was nevertheless still handsome enough … for a middle aged man. “Es … Es … wake up”, he cried out in distress with hot tears streaming down his face.
