Missing with jealously

“Ciri, Where’s Triss?” Yennefer barked joining Ciri by her pool, “She said to me that she had business to attend to and took some things before leaving, most of her things are still there so she will be back” Yennefer thought about it spoke, “How long ago...maybe a few days after James killed Zeus? I wouldn’t blame her you two were nonstop for the next week, she loves him you know!” “No, loved him!” Persephone spoke lounging against the pools edge topless and uncaring compared to the others, “She said ‘loved him’ it’s past tense meaning she had moved on from him...” “Did you know where?” Yennefer queried drinking a goblet of wine and shaking her head Persephone confessed, “I was being nosy but she never said, she only smiled and not in a teasing way but a genuine smile of happiness, I suspect she may have met someone... Apollo was very keen on her!” “Of course he is” Hades grumbled rolling his eyes whilst sitting on the edge feet dunked in the water to cool off, “I wonder how James is, he suffered a lot of wounds in that fight!” Persephone smiled before leaning back into the sun spoke, “Trust me he is more durable then we think, those scars just show how tough he is! I even heard that he actually went home and moped the floors after the battle. It makes you think doesn’t it?” “What does?” Yennefer asked, “As you guess some children of Isu inherit family traits e.g. James the power to decay objects and living things... Just imagine James fell in love with Nyx their child could have all our abilities plus the night plus new ones. Imagine that child sleeping with Eos or Alectrona that would be a finger in the day and light abilities. You could really create a powerful baby eventually. Imagine if Ciri and James had you know the power that child would of had is untelling!” “Persephone this doesn’t answer our question on Triss...” Hades remarked and nodding she groaned, “Fine let’s find her. It’s only been what 4 months and James did say he had seen her a few times in a note a few days back!” Yennefer grabbed her towel before nodding seeing Persephone adjust her top to cover her bare chests spoke, “James first!” Ciri nodded before slipping her boots on spoke, “I warn you Yennefer it isn’t exactly nice down there but still it would be nice to see James again; I would like to talk to him about a few things!”

They jumped down and landing on the ground the familiar screams were present, “Hasn’t changed much!” Persephone spoke looking on in her Grandfathers cell, “Grandfather I don’t know if you are aware but Zeus is dead, James killed him via decapitation!” the man suffered from his torture but smiled hearing her say that. She closed the shutter off again before looking into the usual one which included Selene, “Empty...strange!” “Like I said Selene, I am sorry that it took too long and I am also sorry about your lover...what Zeus did to him was wrong but he is gone now so you are free!” she nodded hugging the man who uncomfortably hugging her back spoke, “Now go, I will continue to release those who deserve it!” “I thank you James and her to, where is she?” “You know her getting changed after her lounging in the Sauna. Now run along and enjoy your freedom!” “And you enjoy your reward!” “Oh I will try!” she nodded walking passed the others before hugging Persephone heard, “Selene, go to my temple I will see to it that you have somewhere!” and nodding she left with the others staring at James who looking away walked back to his room signalling them to follow.

“James we are looking for Triss!” “Oh that’s nice...not how are you James? Just we are looking for Triss!” “Please it has been 4 months since she has left and we haven’t heard from her...we think she may have...you know!” “I can assure you that she is safe!” Persephone nodded before saying, “You know where she is...” I nodded before saying, “Yes” “Where?” “That is none of your concern!” Hades looking around noticed something off about the room and seeing the Queen’s headpiece missing spoke, “What happened to the Crown of Tartarus?” “Safe as well” “Where is she James?” I smiled before seeing the woman they sought standing behind them she spoke softly, “James I thought we agreed not to tease any of our friends!” I smiled before remarking, “I know but sometimes I just can’t help it!” and watching the others turn around Triss spoke, “What can I do for you all?” Ciri wrapped her arms around Triss’ arm same for Yennefer as Yennefer cried, “We are family and you haven’t even given us word for 4 months on where you were. We were worried about you!” Triss smiled before looking over to Persephone and Hades who nodded at what they saw Triss commented, “I’m fine really!” “What are you doing here?” Yennefer asked and smiling she winked at me before saying, “Ruling, loving and more loving. The day we won I came to break the curse let’s just say a few days later I was pregnant and was in his bed permanently; yet to marry but that will come, won’t it?” “As soon as the child is born and you are healthy!” “So you are now Queen of Tartarus?” Triss nodded before Hades spoke, “She wears the crown and therefore rules the realm...I thought you had this type of thing in your time?” “Yes but in our realm they have to wed first...” Yennefer spoke rolling her eyes. Triss took her seat next to me and seeing Ciri turn away to look from the balcony at the creatures who were being tortured heard Yennefer ask, “I thought you wanted to be free from commitment!” “I did and that’s why James has promised when our child or children is old enough they will take over until their child is old enough to rule!” “Until then I will rule whilst Triss readies for the day we can leave!” Triss nodded before saying, “I can wait...especially with all the fun that could be had!” I winked at her as Persephone asked, “How did you become Isu...” “I never, I put the crown on and my body started to change!” “How...?” Hades turned to her before saying, “Some artefacts posses this power to do such a thing but...most of the time it doesn’t work and kills the human; it appears Triss was lucky!” I looked over to him as I spoke, “Me and Tartarus are friends, I respect the compound, the rulership and the job and in exchange it supports me and gives me what I seek. This is one of its devices and it acknowledged us as a couple. A trade for a trade, I get love and Tartarus gets an Queen!” I looked over to see Ciri who turning around spoke, “She’s safe Yen, can we leave now?” “I thought you wanted to speak to him!” “No, I don’t think I need to anymore!” I looked over to the others before signalling for them to leave and for the guards to block the door spoke, “What is it Ciri?” “I said never mind!” I got up before shaking my head spoke, “I always told you to speak your mind! So do it!” she looked over to us then focusing on me stated, “I came to say that I wanted to accept your proposal of marriage and I am sorry for what I said. I was also going to ask if you would still grant me some freedom and ask other questions; it appears you went straight to her after I said no!” Triss shook her head before defending me spoke, “No, I came to him. I confessed my love to him and wanted him to marry me. It was me, not him” she nodded before saying, “I expected as much... Can I go now?” I walked up to her before saying, “No!” she glared at me before snapping, “Don’t give me ‘There’s someone out there’ or ‘You just have to wait’ you actually did me a favour with this...I don’t feel sorry for you!” “I was just going to say, I will always be there for you and if you ever need a place to stay, your room will remain ready for you!” she nodded before looking over to Triss spoke, “Look after him Triss, he deserves someone good!” “I will Ciri and if you want to you know...maybe we could sort something out!” she looked at me before saying, “Thank you for what you have done and even now freed me from obligations and to that I thank you!” she walked away before kissing me left Triss alone with me, “Going to miss her James?” “Definitely but she is free and that is all I ever wanted for her. Now you...” “What?” “Get your clothes off...” she undid her gown and letting it fall to the ground lustfully stated, “Get yours off lover...”
