FAIR LOVE AND WAR

nd that's a group thing. "Do you have to lie to your grandparents like that"? Justin smirked. "My grandma wouldn't have it that I'm staying out late to have fun". Daniel tucked his phone back into hi

part of it just as everyone you love is part of it and even this kingdom Astera". Basil raised his voice, it was unlike him to raise his voice at me. "You're the next in line for the throne Alec, with you this kingdom can have a better life. Haven't you noticed that lately the corals in the sea are dying at a much higher rate". Basil added seething with anger "And what has the corals dying got to do with me. Alex my twin brother can be the king for all I care. You of all people should know that I don't want the throne". Alec equally raised his voice but it sounded muffled as they were inside the sea "Can't you stop being selfish for once. Think about others and just not only about yourself". "Basil I want this, for the first time in my life I have felt a connection with someone. They're always in my mind. I can't think straight and maybe it's because of him, I was never interested in this sea life at all...please understand". "You're just being selfish and I hate it that I'm your friend and all I have to do is just support you" Basil groaned using his tail to slap angrily a rock that the impact made a dent on the rock. "What will I do without you". Alec smiled. "Shut up". Basil slapped Alec's tail with his. We came to halt at kale plants draping on a tunnel. "This is it". Basil sighed. "It's not yet too late for us to turn back". "No...". Alec said swimming into the tunnel with Basil having no option but to follow him in. "He is going to be the death of me". Basil sighed. The insides of the tunnel were creepy and dirty and it was filled with all sorts of sea life, the ugly ones that Alec never thought existed. It was his first time seeing them. "Who dares come into my tunnel". A loud blast stopped Basil and Alec in their tracks. "It's me, prince Alec, we came to offer you something in exchange for something". Alec stuttered with Basil cowardly at his back. "Come into the light let me see you". Alec swam through the tunnels to come into another opening, in all the walls he saw pictures, bottles, and all manner of containers that were holding one liquid or the other ranging from blue, green, violet red, yellow, and all sorts. "What do you want prince Alec". A mid-fifty man came out from the blue moon, the color of his tail was grey. "I want a human leg". Alec spoke feeling the nervousness in his tone. "You want human legs eeeh". He traced his hand through his grey hair. "Yes". Alec confirmed. "And what do I get in exchange". He gave me a sinister look. "Oh yes". Alec emptied the bag he was carrying, it carried all the human stuff he had picked over the months. "What's all this". He laughed. "Those are not close to what I want, I can use my magic and I will get all that". He said "What do you want then". Alec swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat. "I see you're a handsome boy. What I want is your essence of being young and handsome". He smirked. "I will grant you your wish". He swam close to me taking my chin into his palms. "You will have the human legs you so desire but on a condition. I will give you six months to get a true love first kiss, failure to do that your body will forever be mine. You will be in an endless sleep". He laughed sinisterly. "Please let's go he is giving me creeps you can't agree to that". Basil said. "What do you say huh". The sea god asked. "I accept". Alec replied boldly. Daniel sat glued to the flat screen that was in front of him as he slowly took popcorn in his mouth every three seconds. He never guessed the chilling adventures of Sabrina will be as interesting as Justin suggested, turns out for once he had chosen the right movie. "I'm glad you're enjoying it". Justin was sitting close to me on the thick leather couch. "For once you have picked the right movie". Jasper said not removing his eyes from the flat screen either, he was engrossed with the show.
