Strange desires

In the woods.

~Tahni and Ayla~

"Have you heard of the latest discovery I made?"

Ayla spun the circlular soft substance on which she was lying, floating through the lake, around, in the direction of Tahni who was just beside her.

The both of them were sunning up their skins, basking in the tingling rays of the sassy sun. The object they each were lying on was like a ring of large balloon made to float on water. Twas just like the present day inflated donut balloon - the floating swimming device for the pleasure of the interested.

"You've been keeping majority of them to you lately. And I don't really want to talk to you. Not after preventing me from to going to see what that explosion we heard few days ago was about."

Tahni argued, looking towards the other direction. She couldn't be sure what Ayla was up to. But the magic was that, the both of them were floating at the same proportion. Not one balloon farther than the other.

To some extent, twasnt quite remote to place. What would you had expected having a deal with a Nymph? Of course several things are bound to be.

"I never stopped loving you, Tahni. There are two basic things I hold back from you."

She paused, pushing her floating device towards Tahni's. Tahni wasn't so good at the navigation, so she couldn't move at a rapid pace away. Giving the Nymph an upper hand. Plus, Tahni was pretty scared that she might tumble into the lake. Not that she wouldn't be saved if she did, but since she was mad at Ayla, the last thing she would fancy was her help.

"One, anything that has to do with the new developments of your dad. Which means, things which would help hasten my desire of making him mine. If I told you what these desires are, wouldn't you had put a stop to them? Wouldn't you want to talk me out of them?"

"And why shouldn't and wouldn't I?"

Tahni argued but Ayla ignored.

"Secondly, anything that would hurt you is better held away from you. You're in my care, and as long as you are, I'm responsible for your safety. And I wouldn't gamble with that. Not because I have given my words to anyone, but I wouldn't forgive myself for letting any harm come to you. One of the codes of the Nymphs."

Tahni sneered. She scorned,

"If you really care about me, you would let me have all that I want and not keep preventing me in the name of knowing what is right."

"Tahni, do you know what is out there?"

Ayla tried to stand up and she did. But when she did stand up, the circular balloon deepened and increased in a rectangular slide. Making it possible for Ayla to sit comfortably on it, her legs gobbled up by the lapping waters.

"When Athena and Poseidon held the contest and each lost of his powers, a rift was opened in the earth. Do you have an idea what that rift is capable of doing?"

Tahni grumbled in dismissal, even though she couldn't help wanting to figure out why.

"The rift is an open portal between the human world and the world of the gods. And there are some creatures that are neither humans nor the gods. Higher than the humans, lower than the gods. Creatures that are terrible and quick. Ruthless and trickery. Evil and alluring. Cute but deadly. Hot but suicidal. They are now the wanderers of the land and forest. And you expect me to let you go there? You must be a clown."

She stopped talking, going down on her back into the rectangular alternative. This time, she was stirring the floating device towards the bank of the river. Tahni's also was taking the same route.

"And what is the new discovery you just made?"

Tahni seemed to had given up the rage finally. Their floating devices were drifting towards the bank slowly and steadily. There was a soothing feeling to it. Feeling the waves of the wandering winds inhabiting the lips of the lapping waters as well as the warmth of the hankering sun.

"The dice had turned for your sister and her stalker."

"You mean Miargos?"

"Your sister had eventually given the heart of a lion to Poseidon. Her quest for ending Athena seemed kindled by persistence."

"What does she really plan to do?"

"It's simple. Take the form of Athena. Go to the land and pretend to be the real Athena, fostering her argument of Athena being a witch. And by doing that, the real Athena sent away, and she takes her position beside Vulcan, her father and lover. All she had ever wanted."

Tahni shook her head as they both got to the bank finally.

"How crazy Prium could be!"

She muttered, neither of them willing to get off the devices yet.

"But you wouldn't let her, or would you?! Since you want Vulcan also. She would have to face you."

"Not necessarily."

Ayla stood up and Tahni took suit. The sun crashing against their bare skin. They both walked to where the fine brown sand was dry and set to lie down.

Tahni watched in surprise, expecting what Ayla would do, whether or not she would lie on that hot sand with her bare back. They were both naked.

But acquainted with the charms of a Nymph as we all are, as Ayla went on her back to lie, suddenly sprouted from the sand a long woolly wrapper from seemingly made from a lamb. She laid on it. Tahni took suit and the same thing repeated. Only that, the skin on which she laid was from a wild cat. A cougar.

"What do you mean?"

Tahni let out the hanging question at last.

"When I said the dice had turned for her, I meant the focus is displaced now. A stray naiad who had wandered from a neighboring waterfall communed with the winds which brought sense to Miargos. The biddings of the gods. And now, Miargos is no longer the stalker. Dice turned."

Tahni sat up suddenly, tossing her face aside in disbelief,

"You mean my sister is the stalker now? She wouldn't do it. Too bad."

"You can't be sure. Not when her hope of destroying Athena lies only in that."

"Poor Prium."

Tahni sympathized. She wanted to lie back down but hesitated. She held up the face of Ayla in her bewitching eyes. Ayla was looking sideways.

Tahni traced down Ayla's eyes to her nose, then down her neck. She couldn't stop at the chest, her hurrying pupils fell on the erected titties and calling nipples of Ayla. She lost her sanity.

She began to tilt her head towards Ayla gradually.

"What?"

Ayla was firstly stitred by the shadow falling on her, but twas too late to avoid. Tahni had closed her lips on the nipple of the first tit, tracing the tip of her tongue around it. Her right hand grabbing the other and the left sliding down Ayla's stomach till her fingers hovered over Ayla's mini moo and went straight inside, hunting for pleasure.

"Stop, Tahni. My heart is given to another."

Ayla shuddered beneath her, but Tahni wasn't ready to let go.
