Solis chuckled a bit.” Yeah they are Ezra is usually a bit
calmer but when they both get worked up…yeah. Before vacation
there was a big ol’ slap fight, jalal had a time pulling them
apart.” He said chuckling.
Once inside cookies and some juice were distributed, save for
Eden. She had some honey rolls, with one of her favorite juices
watered down. She ate it without much complaint as she didn’t
eat the really sweet stuff that much. Honey and breads would
always be something she enjoyed most. She did have some dried
raisins as well though and ate it just fine. It took some
convincing after a time-that it was something special when she
got upset about the others getting something good.
Ezra was the lucky one to get some cookies and a juice to drink.
He learned his lesson after making fun of Eden not getting a
cookie, by getting nothing but celery sticks with peanut butter
a few times. He drank it down and scarfed the cookies for Eden
to look over.”You’re gonna end up with celery again if you don’t
slow down.” She said as he drank his juice to get the last bit
of cookie down.”I’m fine.” He retorted.
After snack time, the few who decided to go went.
Ezra would be a bit downhearted when he didn’t catch one like
the others. After a bit of waiting, Ezra caught one.”AH I got
one!” He called and pulled a little.”Kinda heavy..” he said
before stepping back and managing to reel it in. He got a little
bit of help and smiled.”I Got one!” He called out a bit to jalal
who saw this.
Eden who didn’t really have the patience was allowed to just dig
around in the sand to build sandcastles at the beach line.
Sitting in one spot really just wasn’t her thing at all. Solis
was with her watching her go at it while keeping an eye out.
Since what happened he wasn’t gonna let these kids suffer
another kidnapping for sure. He heard jalal call a little bit,
and talked about watching the kids shortly.
Once the kids were settled, Solis and Zan began their stories.
“Yeah, poor john, if it hadn’t been for billy’s aim, the griffin
would have taken him to the nest. Said it was a good ride.”Said
solis chuckling as the kids giggled. He gave them a few stories
of his own adventures he had so far, one of them being a
favorite was the ruin of the fae castle.”It was crazy…swore I
heard a voice saying…‘I want buttered toast.’ No, it was Lorie,
messing with me…that’s when I decided no spooky stories before I
enter ruins..ever again.” He said flatly..
[hr]
Jalal and Namor went on their long ‘walk.’ It took a bit of
ways…but jalal was led to apart of the beach that no one really
went to, it was quiet..secluded, and full of sand.
Jalal being wise had a big blanket to lay it down, and sat on it
before feeling namor sit by him.It felt awkward at first for him
cause it had been very long time. He scooted a little closer to
the scruffy man before feeling his face turned and a hot mouth.
A soft noise came out -a groan at the feeling before he felt
himself laid down. he took a breath when they separated to feel
the mouth again, the sounds of their mouths groaning into the
others was apparent. Things started to come off, stripping and
being laid to the side his red hair splashed out around him
before watching namor go down. he blushed a bit.”oh I’ve had
someone before just…been a while..” he said before feeling his
legs moved. It was clear he was hard and ready, but he felt the
man getting him ready, and waited to feel the pressure.
A slow moan slid out as he felt the fill. This guy had girth, he
felt the man wait as he knew he was getting use to it before the
movements began, slow at first. his moans slipped out as he
looked up at Namor. The slow movements became quicker and harder
before he felt a hand start stroking at him, his head tilted
back as he felt the build up, trying to hold back a little to
enjoy the feeling of bliss at the end.
The moment he let go, it felt like a rush, his seed spilled on
his stomach before the pace quickened more as he made small
cries, the spot being railed felt good to him.
“Ah…fu.ck…namor…there..mm” he sounded before feeling the hot
seed fill his ass.

Zan tried to not laugh too much imagining Eden and Ezra slapping
each other. "They probably just need to get used to spending
more time around one another. There are some people that need
time to adjust to one another." He replied.
Zan was more than a little impressed by the beach manor, taking
it all in silently as everyone gathered in the kitchen for the
snacks the cook had provided. He watched as Lucas and Atreus
seemed in engulf their cookies and smiled when Adan offered them
some of his. Hama and Einar snuck a few of their cookies to the
younger boys as well, when no one else was watching.
When fishing was brought up; Hama and Einar asked if they could
stay and get cleaned up instead. "It;s been ages since we've had
a proper bath," Hama explained, and scratched his neck. "The
swim probably helped, but I need soap,"
Halder who'd made an appearance led the boys off to the bathroom
and found some clothes for them to change into.
Lucas grabbed Atreus and led him off with the others, very much
wanting to catch some fish. "Are we gonna eat them too?" He
asked looking happy at that thought.
Namor chuckled at the boy's enthusiasm and nodded. "Sure will. I
can show you how to clean them up after we catch enough."
Namor got everyone set up with fishing poles and went around the
boys, showing those that needed to know how to bait the hooks
and cast the line out. Soon enough they started catching fish.
Lucas caught the first one, a rather nice-sized one that Namor
stashed in the bucket to keep. Adan and Snow caught theirs at
the same time. and then Ezra finally got one. Atreus was mostly
just watching, not all that keen on fishing, but willing enough
to be there for Lucas.
Finally, there were enough fish and the boys were satisfied.
Namor showed them how to gut and clean the fish. After letting
them try on a few, he finished expertly finishing them up, and
filleted them so they were ready for the cook to use for dinner.
He sent off the fish with the boys who headed up to the manor
with Eden and Zan and Solis. Once there, the two adventurers
regaled them with all sorts of tales, some scary, some funny,
and some just crazy. Atreus seemed far more interested in
listening to the adventures they'd gone on together, leaning in
with interest on his face.
"Lorie always did like messing with you," Zan couldn't help but
snicker. By now he'd all of Solis' stories, though they still
entertained him.
"All right Zan, what's your craziest adventure?" Hama couldn't
help but ask, having been listening from the doorway with an
amused expression.
Zan shot him a look. "It involves skiing half-naked down a
mountainside with a hawk attacking me," He replied, chuckling at
the memory. It was quite a funny story, involving goats that
kept coming after him and butting him while he tried to
negotiate a trade between two tribes. "Then..they decided the
only way they'd settle was if I could make it down the
mountainside on a metal shield! I made it down, and then wiped
out face-first in a huge snow drift! The hawk..well, I guess he
thought the hat I was wearing was food," He ended with a
chuckle.
When it seemed that Zan and Solis were done with storytelling,
Adan hurried off to get the book he'd finally finished
translating. "Here..look at this. It's a book about a portal to
the lost world of Atlantis; Snow and I are gonna go next year
and find it." Adan said proudly as he laid the book out so
everyone could gather around to look at it.
This drew everyone in to look at the pictures and they listened
with great interest as Adan read through it, explaining what it
said with a great deal of enthusiasm and excitement.
"We should all go! It would be so much fun!" Lucas exclaimed,
glancing up at the others. "It would be a great adventure!" He
began singing a little ditty under his breath, not realizing
that it might affect everyone else in the room. "Adventuring we
will go, adventuring we will go, high in an airship to find a
lost world in the oceans below."
By now Tahvia and Caltharas had been drawn in by everyone's
excitement over the book. "it might not be a bad idea," Cal told
his wife in a lower voice.
"Caltharas..we have to get back in a week," Tahvia reminded him.
"No we don't. I trust Katsu and Arnar to run things. Plus...we
could take more time off. We should have a proper family
adventure." Caltharas replied. "We can wait to ask Jalal what he
thinks, but I'm betting he'll agree with me."
"We could take my ship," Zan suggested, the wanderlust stirring
inside him.
Tahvia raised an eyebrow, while Caltharas chuckled. "We'll need
a bigger ship for supplies and everyone that's going.
Though..maybe you bring yours as the scouting ship."
[hr]
Namor was more than ready to get Jalal to himself, and they
headed off on their walk while the kids were distracted by the
adventuring Zan and Solis' tales. He couldn't help but think
that this new relationship would be a great adventure.
Namor smiled, watching Jalal lay out the blanket on the sand. He
hadn't thought that far ahead when he'd brought the man out to
the secluded spot. He moved to sit down, and let his gaze slowly
go over Jalal's profile. He was about to ask the man if he could
kiss him when Jalal scooted closer. He took this as a sign and
reached over to pull the man's face to his own and kissed him
deeply.
They progressed a bit naturally after that, and Namor pulled
Jalal down, feasting on the man's mouth before pulling back and
pulling in a breath, before kissing him again.
Their hands were quick in removing the clothes between them
until they were both bare. "Gorgeous," Namor couldn't help but
murmur at the sight Jalal made with his hair splayed out around
him and moved to kiss down the man's body slowly.
"Good to know," Namor murmured against Jalal's skin and moved
his legs up, and took his time pleasuring and loosening Jalal's
body. It was a good bit of time before he was moving to push
inside. "Gods," He breathed out, bracing himself over Jalal, his
hair falling down over Jalal's face. He kissed the man, and he
started to move, slowly.
Namor tried to hold back from going too hard, but the more he
heard Jalal's moans of pleasure, the more it turned him on and
made him go faster. He was lost in the sensations and moment and
reached down to stroke over Jalal. "Gods...Jalal, you feel so
good," He groaned and sped up a bit more, and felt the other man
cum, spilling between them.
Namor angled Jalal's body just a bit and moved faster, nearly
ravaging the man's body. Namor came hard, with a loud groan, and
released a huge load into his new Lover's body.
"Well..damn," He groaned and caught himself in his arms before
he could crush the smaller man. "There's definitely chemistry
between us," He said with a grin and leaned down to claim
Jalal's mouth in a deep kiss.
After feasting on Jalal's mouth for a long time, he finally
pulled away with a happy moan and slowly pulled free and rolled
onto his side next to Jalal. His hand roamed over the other
man's chest and teased his nipples. "Next time..you can do
whatever you want to me." He said, wondering a bit if Jalal was
the type to like both sides. "Probably should have mentioned, I
like to be on the receiving end too."

Jalal couldn’t help but blush at the man a little. He felt the
deep kiss, to kiss back.”yeah… just can’t get over the fact your
magnet and I just get pulled toward you.” He said with a
chuckle. He felt the touches and blushed a little.”only felt
right being taken first.. then give.”
Jalal said honestly.”sorry for being awkward.. I’m actually
quite old, and hadn’t been with someone in 50 years almost.. my
last mate passed away back then, so it took time to heal. “
Jalal explained to him. He trailed his hand a bit on the man’s
chest some. “I know I’ll have lots of fun and adventure with
you…” he said with a sexy voice before kissing the man again.
[hr]
Ezra and Eden listened to the stories intently, some making them
laugh and more. But at the same time Eden became quite quiet.
She remembered a lot of jalal’s stories of travel, and some of
their own.
She watched as Adan ran off to get the book, and excitedly
telling the rest about how snow and him would go. She got a
little quieter. Ezra noticed how Eden was a little and looked
over at the boys.
Whatever was going on in Eden’s head she somehow rebounded
some.”I wanna go, “ Eden said and her head tilted.”Jalal talked
about wanting to go for a long time- he travels lots.. well he
use to..” Eden said softly. Part of her wondered if he ever felt
tired of her, and missing the adventures.
Solis who was thrilled a bit himself- noticed a change in Eden’s
demeanor, but went with it asking.”oh he did too?” Eden nodded.
“He’s been to lots of old places.. says history is
important…”Eden said as she felt a bit dozy. The singing from
the small boy, made her feel a little funny, Ezra was nodding
off a little too, and settled back on the couch some. Eden
shifted a little to put her head on her brothers shoulder to
yawn.

Namor let out a deep laugh at Jalal's joke about him being a
magnet. "I haven't heard that one before." He murmured and let
his hands explore the man next to him some more. He smiled,
nodding at the other's explanation. "I have seen your generous
side, so that sounds about right,"
Namor leaned in to nibble on the man's neck, only pausing when
he heard how long it had been for Jalal. He pulled back, giving
the man a look of sympathy. He knew very well how hard it was to
lose someone..and the process of healing from it. He wasn't
quite mortal himself..and from the sound of it, he and Jalal
might have a long life together. Which was a very pleasing
thought.
"I got the feeling you were an old soul, I just didn't realize
how old you really were," Namor said softly. He shifted under
his lover's touches and smiled at Jalal's next words. Oh, would
they ever!
He met Jalal's kiss, and deepened it, his hand sliding into the
other's hair to pull Jalal closer. After some more heated kisses
between them, he pulled back to take in a long breath. "There's
something you should know Agapo," He said drawing the man's face
to look him in the eyes.
"I'm not that young either. Why I travel around so much is
because I don't age like others. I'm a demigod. My father was
Poseidon..and my mother a human. I have one gift, but it's not a
major one. I guess long life could also be considered a gift, at
least to some. I'm nearly 500 years old, and still going strong.
I've had a lot of lovers..and seen all of them pass. So I know
how hard it was for you. But..fifty years is a long time, I hope
I didn't hurt you,"
Namor's hands continued to roam over Jalal's body. "Whenever you
feel ready, I'm all yours."
[hr]
Zan was rather pleased with the idea of being a scouting ship
for such an adventure and pulled out his every convenient pocket
diary to jot down some ideas and things he knew they'd need for
the trip. He glanced up when he heard Eden mentioning that Jalal
used to travel a great deal. "Oh? Well I am betting he'll want
to go too then! We'll have to ask him when he gets back. I
wonder if Namor would want to come, he'd come in handy," He
commented recalling how the huge man had gone straight into
danger the day before without blinking.
Hama shot a look over at Einar who was yawning and reclined back
on one of the couches. "Why am I suddenly so sleepy?" He mumbled
and ran a hand over his face.
"I probably wore you out," Hama couldn't help but tease in a low
voice, and moved to wrap his arms around Einar's shoulders from
behind. He thought no one was looking and leaned in to steal a
kiss.
Einar froze, and glanced around to make sure no one had seen;
and saw Solis looking at them. "Hama! Not here," He whispered,
feeling a bit worried about how everyone would react to them
being more than the friends they pretended to be.
"Fine," Hama murmured and ran a hand through the other's hair.
"But later..we're gonna sneak off so I can get a turn."
Snow couldn't help but notice how sleepy Ezra and Eden were, but
figured with everything they'd done that day that they were just
worn out early.
"Looks like you two could use a short nap before dinner," Tahvia
commented looking down at the twins, with a soft look.
Atreus glanced around, noticing the sleepy kids, and scratched
his head. It was kind of weird that he and Lucas hadn't been
affected. They'd had a long day themselves. "I can help Ezra get
to his bed," He offered.
Snow moved to lift Eden up, rather pleased he was strong enough
to lift her. "Might as well, we're gonna get too loud out here
for them to nap. He led the way to the two rooms and laid Eden
on her bed and covered her up with a blanket. "I'll come to get
you up for dinner," He said and glanced around before laying a
kiss on her cheek and leaving.
Atreus laid Ezra on his own bed in the other room and made sure
he was comfortable. "Have a good nap, Ezra," He told the boy,
smiling when he spied the kitten in the room. He moved to pick
Shadow up and set the kitten on the bed with him. The cat let
out a soft meow and curled up next to Ezra, more than happy for
a soft bed and a hot kid to nap with.
Back in the living room, Snow joined in with the planning and
got a bit excited about the idea that this adventure was going
to happen much sooner.
"We may need a guide of some sort. I wonder if Namor has been to
Thescara," Caltharas murmured. "I wonder when those two are
coming back. That walk turned out to be a long one,"
Zan shot a grin at Solis, they'd seen the two men looking at
each other and were quite sure "walking" wasn't what the two
were doing at the moment.

Jalal blinked as things slowed some as he heard the man tell him
he was a demigod. He had ran into one before in life- a woman
who was a product of Aphrodite and a human man, so it shouldn’t
of surprised him to run into another- let alone know he’d have a
long one with this one!
“Oh despite how long it’s been- I’m okay.. be sore- but that’s
not a bad thing.” Jalal said to smirk a little as he let his
fingers trail down and gently grip the man to start moving his
hand on him.
“One more round.. then a bit of a talk.” Jalal said in a sexy
way. He rolled them both over to capture the demigods mouth
feverishly. The feel of his mouth in his was apparent, his
fingers delved in the man’s hair entangled while he soaked his
fingers to angle the man’s legs to loosen it up.
Once he got him ready he slid in, he gasped a little at the
tightness. Jalal moved his hips as he began to move inside the
man. Slowly at first, almost as if he was enjoying feeling the
man completely. He picked it up, pounding a spot as he listened
to the man’s sounds.. and before long, and several rolls in the
sand later, were breathing heavily, Jalal was laid up on top of
namor as he took a moment.
Once finished, he rinsed in the ocean a bit, given the romp did
cause sand to come on the blanket and places before dressing..
then he spoke.”I’m well over 1000 years old.” He said bluntly.
“I was mortal once, but in an effort to save what was left of
the people I made what was considered law breaking.” He
explained.”my younger brother did the same- he’s just under 1000
years old… I can’t explain it all as the knowledge was struck
out by the fae queen in an effort to strike down what was left
of the forbidden knowledge. The only ones to remember such a
tragedy would need to be 700.. maybe 800 years or more- think
the elves fit the criteria.” He said with a sigh. “They were
smart keeping their distance.”
“The children I have are adopted.. the brother came a little
after as a result of the negligence of his father.. his sister
way before- being left all alone in the desert.” Jalal said
simply.
He went a bit sad all of the sudden. Eden, he knew once they get
back- her test could result in her no longer being among them if
not prepared properly. Only one woman had succeeded in becoming
a living stone- but that was 500 years ago. He shook his head
away.”ready.. to see the rest of them?” He asked.
[hr]
Solis had caught the kiss to smirk a little. He understood their
feelings but kept quiet, he figured they had their reasons and
would say something in time. He noticed Eden visibly starting to
droop, and was about to move to see snow lifting her up for bed
instead to give another small smirk.”cute.. carrying her like a
princess.” He shot a little to watch as what he could see of
Eden’s ears turn red.
Eden couldn’t help but snuggle just a little against snow. Her
feelings had been strange- despite how forward she was in the
beginning, kissing the cheek of the two. Her eyes looked up
though snow would not quite know it since her head was on his
shoulder.
They reached her room to feel him lay her down and the promise
to wake her up.”okay..” she said softly before the small kiss to
her cheek. She pulled the covers over her head before hearing
the door close as she was now about the color of her own hair.
Ezra just let atreaus carry him piggy back and almost snoozed a
few times before they made it to his room, when he was laid down
and covered up. He saw how he put the kitten near him.”can you
stay?” Ezra said with a small tremor.”I ..ah don’t want shadow
to run off” He lied quietly. The boy still suffered from
terrible dreams, mostly running from the red king, it often left
him crying some nights to be soothed. Even the occasional short
naps sometimes didn’t even keep them at bay. All he knew was
this kid was nice enough to take him to his room- he hoped he
was nice enough to stay long enough to make sure he fell asleep
okay.
Solis now enjoying the quiet a little heard Caltharas.”oh..hoho…
they’re doing more than just walking.” Said Solis with a
grin.”all I know is I hope we can get a long ‘walk’ in.” He said
winking at Zan.
[hr]
The twins slept hard.. and for once Ezra’s nightmare started as
one to turn into a sweet dream- which was a first for him.
It started out with the chase, and him getting away to feeling a
pull to a much better dream.. as if he escaped into a zoo full
of animals.
Eden on the other hand- had a strange one. A strange woman stood
in front of a pyramid and seemed to be talking- but Eden just
couldn’t seem to understand her. The words felt strange and was
repeated- over and over.. what brought her out of it was snow
gently shaking her shoulder.
Eden was talking in her sleep- and the whole time Eden
muttered.” I don’t understand.. say it again?”before fully
waking up.”dinner time?” She asked before taking her mask off to
rub her face as she sat there trying to remember what that woman
was saying.”I’m coming.”
Jalal and Namor had finally popped up around dinner time, Jalal
had his hair pulled back in a tie, his shirt somewhat open- but
seemed way less uptight. He helped get the kids plates, making
sure Eden only got the portions what he knew she’d only beable
to eat.
Ezra on the other hand- thought he was really hungry and got too
much, as he ate he made a small face as he realized he had too
much. He didn’t know what to do as he didn’t want to get in
trouble for not finishing his plate. What surprised him was
atreaus and Lucas giving him a hand, swapping things to keep him
from getting in trouble- even the stuff he didn’t like to eat.

Namor was more than a little surprised that Jalal wasn't
reacting more shocked by his revelation. It made him curious
about Jalal and if he'd met another like himself. Perhaps
Artemis? He'd run into her once before around the Greek
island..funnily enough close to Thescara.
He let out a sigh of relief when the man assured him he was okay
though a bit sore. Namore shivered under Jalal's wandering
fingers and let out a soft moan when the hand gripped his
stirring member. "That's good to hear, oh..fu.ck," He groaned
his hips moving in rhythm with Jalal's moving hand.
"Sounds perfect to me," Namor purred back, not fighting when the
man rolled him over on his back. Their lips met, tongues tangled
and they made out hotly. His hips bucked a bit, as Namor ran his
hands down Jalal's back and groped the man's ass a bit harder
when he felt fingers going through his hair.
"Fuck..Yes," He groaned when he saw Jalal sucking on his
fingers. He assisted the man in moving how Jalal wanted and
groaned as the fingers sank inside him. It hadn't been quite as
long for him, but he wasn't going to protest Jalal touching and
pleasuring him in every way.
When Jalal slid into him, Namor let out a low groan as pleasure
rushed through him. "Oh gods..yes agapo..more," Namor's moans
remained the same, low and frequent as Jalal has his way with
him. "Ah, gods.." He groaned out cuming hard when he was filled
so wonderfully full. His arms wrapped around Jalal, as he moved
his legs around the man's waist, tightening just a bit.
"That was amazing," Namor panted out and ran his hands over
Jalal's back and as.s, groping him a bit more.
He released the man after a short while and followed Jalal into
the ocean to clean up himself. Namore could see that the sun was
starting to get lower and knew they'd have to head back soon.
Not that he minded. He knew there would be more time for them to
have fun with one another soon enough.
He went back to the blanket and started to redress, shaking the
sand out of his discarded clothes when Jalal began talking.
Namor's eyebrows shot up high when Jalal announced an estimate
of how old he was, and then went on to talk about how that had
happened. It was a bit..shocking, and yet...Namor was happy at
the same time. He pulled on his pants, and shirt, not bothering
to button it up.
"I didn't realize you were a cradle robber," He joked lightly,
rubbing his jaw as he looked Jalal over. "You look so young for
your age," He added more softly. "All joking aside, I am not the
type to judge. You're who you are because you wanted to save
those you cared for. In my book, that makes you an incredible
man, even if you broke the rules to do it. I'd very gladly keep
you as my agapo if that's what you want."
His expression softened when he heard about Eden and Ezra's past
lives. "Well..they have a good father in you. And...I
hope..maybe a second Dad. I have always wanted to be a father
myself. I just..could never imagine losing a child..even to old
age. I know it's got to be painful." He added, thinking that
Jalal might have gone through that very experience with how old
he was.
Namor nodded and stood up, offering Jalal his hand. "Of course I
am." He pulled the man up and into a deep passionate kiss. "I
think...I'm not going to let you go anytime soon. When you
leave...I'm coming with you."
[hr]
"Well she is one, to me at least," Snow told Solis as he left.
The more he thought about it, he realized how true that
statement was. She might not act like what others thought a
princess should, or behave. But that wasn't what made a
princess. She had a kind and open heart and was fierce and ready
to defend those she cared about. To Snow..that was enough to
make her a princess. And maybe..one day he could make her one.
Atreus wasn't sure why he'd carried Ezra. He knew someone else
could have, but seeing the boy so tired and in need of help had
tugged at him. Kind of how Lucas being sick or hurt had done the
same thing.
He stopped, a look of surprise on his face when Ezra made his
request to stay. Seeing the kid's tremors made him flash back to
the ones he'd had after he'd been hurt in the past. Plus..poor
Lucas was always shaking when he was afraid of his nightmares.
"Sure Ezra," Atreus murmured and moved closer and shifted the
cat and boy further onto the bed, and then laid down next to
Ezra. He gently ran his fingers over the boy's back as he did
for Lucas. After a few moments, he began to sing an old lullaby
he remembered from long ago. It was one of the few things he
remembered his mother singing. It was in some old tongue that he
didn't really understand, but it had helped Luxas sleep and it
seemed to be helping Ezra as well.
Once the boy was sleeping easily, Atreus slowly got off the bed
so as not to disturb him and went back to where everyone else
was.
[hr]
Dinner rolled around as did the talk of the trip, which amused
Namor quite a bit. Though he didn't say way. He'd tell the
adults later when the kids were off to bed.
He couldn't help but notice the looks he and Jalal got from the
older kids and the other adults. Apparently..their slightly
mussed clothing and hair gave away what they'd been doing.
"Well..if you're all set on this idea of finding Atlantis..maybe
we should go. I can help as a guide, and translator if need be.
I've been in and around Greece many times. It can be tricky to
get around some of their mountains. There can be some pretty
nasty weather during this season though. We might want to hire a
weather witch to help," He added thoughtfully.
Atreus and Lucas couldn't help but notice when Ezra looked
worried that he couldn't finish his large helpings and waited
until the adults were focused on other things to steal the boy's
food bite by bite. Even after that, both went to get more plates
of food. The cook would come to discover they were bottomless
pits, much like Snow who was on his third plate already.
"How can you eat that much?" Adan asked, his eyes a bit wide.
"I must be growing again," Snow replied with a grin. "Or maybe I
have hollow legs,"
Adan shook his head and rolled his eyes.
"What's a weather witch Namor?" He couldn't help but pipe up,
overhearing the man mention it.
"Well..they're kind of like tuners, but they don't need stones
to focus their powers. They have a connection with nature from
their bloodline. Most don't come this way all that often.
Something about how Audora was split apart, messes with their
control. Only a really powerful one would venture here." Namor
explained and got up with his empty plate. "Want some more
Agapo?" He asked in a softer tone, turning to Jalal and using
his special endearment.

Jalal took the man’s hand and made a small shocked look.”is it
really okay? Mean.. you’ll be jumping in right with me and the
kids.” He said blushing as he felt as if the man proposed.
Eden had heard snows response as it had been the reason she
blushed more. She really started caring for him and Adan. She
hoped deep down it would be ok to be with him. Jalal did have a
talk with her that there might be a time he may not beable to be
around due to duties.. but it made her a bit sad at the thought.
Ezra seemed more than happy to see the food go and mouthed thank
you, when the adults looked away. Eden listened a bit immersed
at what the adults were talking about.
Jalal also seemed interested.”I’ve wanted to see Atlantis all my
life.. it’s one of the few places I haven’t., and would be wise
to get one for sure.” He said agreeing with Namor.
Solis chuckled a bit at snows response to Adan.”he’s a
beanpole.. can see him getting big quick”
Eden was still a bit distracted. But more or less still thinking
on snows response about her. She finished up her food as she
looked over at Jalal and Namor.
“Yes I would like more amar- just a little.” He said as her head
tilted at his behavior. “Dad… is he gonna be our new dad?” She
asked as Jalal froze, his fork dropping some.

Namor smiled at Jalal, giving himself a moment to think it over.
"Yes, it is. I'm more than ready to join your family." He said
softly. Namor had never been more sure of anything in his
entire life than wanting to spend his future with Jalal.
[hr]
Atreus gave Ezra a wink, more than happy to help the boy out.
Lucas smiled around a mouthful of the delicious blueberry pie.
He eyed the piece on Hama's plate and waited until he was
looking away to steal a bite.
The thievery was caught by Tahvia, and she raised an eyebrow at
the boy. Lucas shrank a bit in his seat and tried to hide behind
Ezra, making Atreus laugh.
"What's going on Shrinking violet?" Hama asked turning to look
at him.
"I stole a bite of your pie, and the lady caught me," Lucas
mumbled, looking a bit fearful.
Hama merely laughed and gave his pie to the boy. "Have at it
kiddo,"
"Well, then let's go. It might take a few days to get everything
ready though. I'm sure if everyone pitches in it won't be too
much work." Caltharas said glancing around the table.
"Though..what about Adan's cat?" He asked with a frown.
"Bring it along. The ship's likely to have mice that need
catching," Namor said, with a shrug of his shoulders. "Most
ships have a cat..or two. Depending on how big it is,"
Zan nodded, piping up. "I'm actually looking for a cat for my
ship. I'd take Shadow in a heartbeat if he was a good mouser,"
Adan was happy to hear that Shadow wasn't going to be left
behind and chuckled at Solis' comment about Snow. He couldn't
help but frown though when Zan said he'd take his cat. "I'm
supposed to take care of him. He's my responsibility. I can't
just give him away."
Zan reached over Solis to muss up Adan's hair. "I wasn't
completely serious about taking Shadow. I was kidding."
"Oh..okay," Adan said with a sigh of relief.
Namor smiled and reached for Jalal's plate after he'd answered.
He couldn't help but grin a bit wider hearing Eden's question
and glanced down when Jalal dropped his fork.
"What was that we spoke about earlier?" He asked in a teasing
tone. "I think we both decided I'd move in after this adventure
is over. I hope you and Ezra don't mind too much. I'm quite fond
of your father." To prove it, he leaned down and kissed Jalal
gently on the mouth before pulling back and going to grab some
more food, whistling happily.

Ezra blinked as he watched the boy trying to hide behind him and
chuckled some himself. ”she may look scary but she’s a nice
lady.” He saw how much he ate and looked at Snow. “Bet you are
going to grow too.” He said with a smile.
Jalal blushed a bit at the soft kiss and let off a happy sigh.
He recovered a bit as he finally said. ”yes he’s your new
daddy.. and will be living with us.” Ezra noticing how Jalal was
and finding out Namor would be with them blinked some himself.
Dinner had ended and most were sleeping in the idea of adventure
and some romance, it felt as if time sped up.
Things were packed and out on the airship, and as usual, Eden
was everywhere on the ship. Jalal was about to set the girl down
till he noticed Solis got in front of her to bump into the guy
and fall back a little on the deck.
“Remember our rules?” Eden’s head shot up some. ”you ran so you
gotta get the leash”
Eden made a face and blushed hard.”No!”
Jalal’s face got a bit of amusement as he watched Zan put a
leash up and tie it off on Eden for her to groan at first.
Solis smirked. ”it’s not that bad”
Eden puffed a bit to cross her arms. She slowly looked at Jalal
wondering if she’d pout enough that he’d tell Solis to back off
to hear.”I approve of it.” And deflated.
Of course, during the trip Eden would end up making the best of
the situation- granted some of the other kids would do the same.
She would run, stretch as far as possible to let go back.
They eventually made it to Thescara, Eden had run herself ragged
by then. Jalal for once was relaxed and enjoying the trip than
worrying about his daughter falling off the ship, though was
highly amused at his son now doing what Eden was doing before.
Seemed the boy was starting to finally gain some traction- but
at the same time Jalal dreaded it.
He looked at Caltharas and Taviah. "Okay so where do we go from
here?” He wondered aloud. He knew they needed their storm witch.
And before long they’d find that gate. Jalal couldn’t help but
feel excited him self.
Solis who was watching Eden make most of things after being
embarrassed for all of 10 minutes brought a juice to give to
her. ”see wasn’t so bad.”
Eden just turned her head away grumbling at him. “Yes it is..”
she said as she didn’t want to admit she was just trying to
distract herself from the fact that Snow and Adan saw the whole
thing. “Are we there yet?” She asked for what seemed like the
50th time. To be met with . ”no not yet,” Eden would let off an
exaggerated sigh.
Ezra ran again to go as far as he could to feel the yank back,
and the giggle to sit there. It was kind of fun! Granted the
looks he got from Jalal about how he was acting was a little
odd. He looked a bit at Atreaus and wondered if they’d have a
room together. He ended up arguing with Lucas one night as it
came out that Atreus helped his own nightmares. He figured he’d
just continue to ask for Atreaus and Lucas to room with him
after that.
Eden had piped up about them just sleeping in the same room.
Which ended up happening for a night. Of course, it was followed
up with Eden asking about sharing a room with Adan and Snow to
be met with no. She didn’t understand; being given a talk about
how she was a girl and couldn’t sleep in the same room with
boys. Of course, it just left her grumbling on how it’s not fair
and ignoring Jalal the rest of the night.

Lucas would come to find out that Ezra was right about the
queen. Especially during the trip to Thescara. When memories
surfaced from his near abduction, it was Tahvia that helped him
through it. Well.. she and her pet monkey. The distraction of
Albion's antics and tricks, had Lucas laughing. When the monkey
got tired, he joined in with the games of Lalitha and Tahmuras.
Once the ship was ready to head out, the kids joined the others
on the deck; though the little ones were leashed off like Eden
and Ezra.
Lucas wasn't all that sure why there were leashes, though they
did look like they were a bit funny when he saw how Eden and
Ezra had turned them into a game. He almost asked if he could
have one too until Atreus dropped an arm over his shoulder.
"You feeling better now?" Atreus asked, pulling Lucas off to the
side where Snow and Adan were using a spyglass to check out the
horizon.
"Yeah, Albion was fun to play with. Litha and Tahmn too." He
said with a smile, using the kids' nicknames. "Can I use the
spyglass next Snow?" Lucas asked.
Snow turned and handed it over. "Sure, So..was the whole bunking
situation fixed?" He asked Atreus with a slight grin.
Lucas turned with the spyglass still on his eye. "What's he
talking about Tre?"
Atreus slid a hand through his hair. "Oh..nothing. Just that you
and Ezra are bunking with me in one of the rooms."
He really didn't mind it, though his thoughts often did go to
where things might be in the future. Maybe he should just try
and be a kid for longer and not stress over the future. It would
certainly be easier if he did.
"Oh sweet! That's awesome," Lucas beamed, quite happy.
Adan kept turning to discretely watch Eden and Ezra's game,
thinking how it looked far more fun than when Snow had bungee
jumped with him from the crow's nest all those months ago. Snow
must have read his mind, because the next moment he suggested.
"Hey, you all want to go up in the crow's nest? We can hang out
up there out of the way,"
"No Snow! I'm staying right here," Adan said frowning up at the
older boy.
Atreus chuckled, having heard the story from Snow earlier. "I
don't blame you, that crow's nest is at least 25 feet up, that's
even higher than the one you jumped from."
Snow shrugged, a grin on his face. "I was just teasing," he said
winking at Adan.
The strong winds took them to Thescara in far less time than
they'd anticipated, bringing the group to the island a good day
early. Zan tied his smaller boat to the side of the big one and
climbed on to hear what was going on.
"Well, there should be a job corp shop here, it's where you post
jobs you want to be filled. Sometimes the people that run them
know people with the skills you are in need of. They'll contact
them to know a special job has come up. There's a small fee to
use their service though," He explained and shot a look at Solis
and the younger kids that were sporting the leashes he'd
designed after dealing with Eden during their first trip.
Namor nodded and glanced at the excited and impatient looks of
everyone that had been stuck on the ship for so long. "We can
dock the ship down in one of the ports and then explore the
island while we wait to be contacted. Most times they'll send
the person to the ship. So..we might need a few to stay behind,
in case they show up while we're looking around."
"If we can take turns, Hama and I can take the first watch,"
Einar volunteered.
Hama nodded. "We're all going to want to see Thescara. It would
be fair to take a few hour shifts, maybe overlap a little."
"Good idea, Sol and I can take the next watch," Zan spoke up,
shooting a knowing look at the two. They'd recently come out to
him and Sol about having feelings for one another, and being
lovers.
The Emperor agreed to be back after four hours so that he and
Tahvia could take the next watch, with the younger kids so they
could rest up. Everyone got busy gathering up what they needed
while the ship made its slow descent into the port to be docked.
With how big the Emperor's airship was, it took a good hour to
get down safely. Zan and Solis left first in Zan's ship to dock
at a smaller pier close by. They figured they might need to use
his ship separately at some point.
Namor took time to pair the kids up in different groups before
they landed; with instructions to stick close to their partner.
Snow was paired off with Adan, which didn't surprise him that
much. Eden and Ezra were paired up, much to their annoyance,
while Lucas and Atreus were paired up. If they got separated
from the group, they were to find the square in the middle of
the island and stay there.
While Namor headed off with the twins in tow to post the job
listing; Snow sighed when he heard Adan suggesting they stop and
see the island's museum and library.
"Can't we do something fun for a change? Like..see some of the
ruins or go on a hike? Or check out the market?" Snow asked.
"Something outdoors?"
