EPISODE 66
He tilted his head in confusion and put his hands on his waist. Still, throu-ghtheir secret means of communicating, he asked, “So if you are there? Who is this in front of me? fu-ck! I just asked her to make unity with me!!!”
“I’m coming! I’m coming! Don’t you dare make unity with someone else! I’m going to kill you!, Just hold own the woman in front of you” He heard Amanda spoke.
Just before he could grab on to the woman in front of him again, she ran like hell away from Christopher.

“Where are we going?” Christopher asked after being dragged to the courtyard by Amanda.
She had earlier rushed him outside the castle, right after finding him. Amanda was so flustered that he was about to do unity to a fake Amanda!
‘How could he?’ She repeatedly asked herself.
Unfortunately, Christopher was not able to run after the bogus Amanda. He lost her in seconds, or at least he could not find her after turning to another pa-ssage from within the castle. It was as if she vanished into thin air.
“I want you all for myself!” She reasoned before practically jumping into his arms. “Take me away! Let’s go visit Martin.”
They both flew up to the sky, eventually finding themselves next to the redwood tree. The previously dying timber now had more life than the last. It was Thanks to Christopher’s water that their gate to Trinity Bay may still survive.
Martin had returned to Trinity Bay, looking after the house where Christopher lived as a child. There were many repairs that needed to be done, making Martin remain in town for weeks.
It was in Christopher’s bedroom that Amanda told of what happened and how Ca-ssy determined that someone else was pretending to be her.
She was enraged, but she quickly recovered from the frustrating situation, especially since her name was already cleared.
What bothered her the most was her man offering unity to someone else.
After settling her emotions, they casually began taking off their clothes. They were preparing for a shower when Amanda said, “I don’t know how… I don’t know who, but Ca-ssy promised to investigate. Though we all agreed… we found it strange that this is all happening, right after Keelan and his men arrived.”
She shrugged and said, “That could be just a coincidence. Who knows? But for now, Ca-ssy suggested I stay here, here in Trinity Bay. Everyone from earlier’s gathering will know that I am not in Aeros. Whoever shows up in the castle surely is not me and will be apprehended.”
“How did she look like?” Amanda asked after getting fully nak-ed .
He did not answer. He merely hissed and palmed his manhood at the sight of her se-xy nak-ed ness. “fu-ck, you are so se-xy.”
“Pfft! Did you even listen to me? Answer me first!” She demanded while walking into the bathroom.
He let out a heavy sigh and followed behind her. He said, “She looks exactly like you. Even sounded like you. I suppose the only thing that’s different was how you answered.”
As soon as Amanda turned on the shower, she shifted to grip on his incredible length. She said, “The next time you offer unity to someone else, you are going to get it!”
“Ahhh! fu-ck! Amanda – be – be careful with my prize. How can we have kids if you are like this?” Only after she let go did he say, “I did find out… Eventually.”
“I’m sorry, Amanda. My se-xy, hot, master of fire.” He leaned over and cupped her cheeks. “That won’t happen again, knowing such magic exists.”
He rested his forehead to hers and said, “Don’t be mad now.”
She pursed her li-ps and answered, “I wasn’t mad at you. Just the situation. I had no idea they had pent up emptions about me. I wish they could have just said something.”
“Hmm… I know. Don’ t worry, I will help Ca-ssy tomorrow,” he responded before turning amarous, painting a nau-ghty grin on his face.
He cleared his throat and said,” Now, we have more important matters to deal with… Unity. ”
He quickly captured her li-ps, pinning her against the tiled wall, rubbing his torso against hers.
Christopher loved how her soft bre-ast s felt against his firm chest. It made him hiss in excitement.
As water trickle down their bodies, the two masters of the earth gradually engaged in a hot ki-ss. From soft and teasing ki-sses, promptly progressing, entangling their tongues while their hands turning restless in no time.
Like 40 minutes after, They savored the satisfaction and stayed in the same int-imate position for seconds more. Amanda and Christopher merely hug-ged each other, turning to look at their gorgeous faces, and relished on another pa-ssionate ki-ss.
“I like unity,” said Christopher.
pan-ting, Amanda smiled and said, “Yeah, me too.”
The next day, Christopher woke up Amanda, planning to return to Aeros. He meant to help find the culprit. If anyone, he was the best person to determine who was the right Amanda.
While Amanda remained with Martin in Trinity Bay, Christopher pa-ssed throu-ghthe gate from the basement of his home and out into the redwood tree within Aeros.
He met with his sister and father, plus with everyone else who was part of yesterday’s gathering. They regrouped to determine the best plan to bring out the fake Amanda.
Meanwhile, from outside the barricades of Aeros, a woman was gritting her teeth, seeing the progress of Aeros. She could not believe her eyes.
The woman wore a blue, hooded cloak over her body, and her face was painted with thick make-up. Behind her were four of her men, also wearing unusual clothes. They meant to hide their identity.
“How could they make such high walls in a matter of months?” Muttered Diana. She looked at the pit from below and sneered. “All the more, dig a de-ep ditch like this?! How?!”
Diana did not expect that the pa-ssage to the barricade was a narrow one. There was no way they could enter the nation without being detected, especially since they were traveling in a group.
The same party walked back, resting at a foot of a ridge, deciding on how to enter the nation of Aeros.
“Miss Diana, if I may suggest. We can look like refugees from Kedaru, seeking for relocation, but we need to look pitiful,” suggested one of her men.
“We can also enter from different gates,” said one other soldier.
“Aahhhhhh!” Diana screamed, kicking off the dirt from her boots.. She did not like it when her plans change. “Damn you, Christopher! Damn you!”

“Where in the world are they?!”
In an old abandoned house, near the west entrance to Aeros, Keelan had his brows drawn together. He hissed in anger while waiting for Diana.
His frustration went on for hours and only after the sun had set did Diana arrive.
Following the creaking of the door, Keelan and his men turned to find the party they had been waiting for.
“Why are you late, Lady Diana? Where have you been all this time?! I have been waiting for you for hours!” Keelan demanded an answer.
“Shut up!” Said Diana. “You don’t know what we had to go throu-ghjust to pas-sthe borders! We had to pretend like peasants!”
If it were not from a group of evacuees that came to Aeros, Diana and her team would not have made it throu-gh. While Aeros’ soldiers initially took them to a refugee center, they fled as soon as they saw an opportunity.
Some families from other nations have heard that Aeros now had water too. Thus, the neighboring lands who were struggling migrated to Aeros.
‘This ungrateful bit-ch ,’ Keelan silently said. How he wished, he could just slap her.
If it were not for Plethora’s water supply, Terene would not have seen the need to work with them. Nonetheless, he had already gotten himself involved with Diana, he just needed to follow throu-ghuntil the end of the bargain.
“We are still on for tomorrow, that’s what matters!” Said Diana. “Did you bring what I told you to?”
Keelan rolled his eyes first before nodding. He showed her the weapons his men stole from Aeros’ castle.
“Good,” Diana said. She walked closer to Keelan and said, “You need to make sure everything goes well and you can really do what you promised to do.”
Keelan nodded with a grin on his face. He said, “I am confident, Diana… Trust me, they might already think they got us all figured out… But in truth, we still have an upper hand. Haha! Despite suspecting everything, they still sent Amanda away. Foolish, they are! They gave me exactly what I want!” Revealed Keelan.
He then pulled out one of his charms and attached them to Diana’s clothes and said, “Trust me. I have done this many times.”
For Aeros to suspect Keelan was initially part of his plan. He thought it was the best way to confuse Christopher at the peak of the moment. Plus, with Amanda out of the picture, they can only worry about Christopher.
With an evil laughed he said, “Christopher will be in for a surprise!”
“Very well then! Tomorrow is the day we put Christopher into hypnosis and he will not escape,” said Diana as she narrowed her eyes, looking straight at Keelan. “Tomorrow, his power becomes mine.”
The next day, Ca-ssy flew after Christopher on the northern border to report. She was smirking triumphantly as soon as her feet landed to the ground. She said, “Chris!” She quoted with her fingers and said, “Amanda is creating another trouble in one of the western villages.”
“Good! Let’s go!”
The siblings blazed to the sky, flapping their wings. They were very eager to put an end to the phony Amanda, but they did not expect that the reported trouble involved a fire! From above, they saw three structures starting to burn and people fleeing from the location in panic.
Razul who responded first approached the sky and said, “They said Amanda created a fire into those houses!” Turning to Christopher he said, “We need you – we need your water, young master!”
With the power of the blue crystal, the master of water transformed in his second skin. He wasted no time brou-ght out the available water in the village. Christopher easily put out the fire in minutes.
The water practically created a sphere, rotating against the three houses. The water did not stop rinsing the structures from the flames until it died out.
The villagers were relieved that Christopher saved the day, but they were angered at the actions of Amanda for they knew no it was a fake Amanda.
“Ca-ssy! Razul, stay here and help the families who were affected. I’m going to look for the fake!” Ordered Christopher.
“But bro? Can you handle it by yourself?” Ca-ssy asked with a worried expression.
He frowned and said, “Whoever is behind this, is not at par with me. Trust me, he doesn’t know who he is messing with.” He flew up in the air, regardless.
It took about half an hour for him to find the person taking the shape of Amanda, heading towards an old abandoned home, far from the village’s boundary.
“There you are,” he muttered before blazing in the direction of the running culprit.
If their suspicion was right, this person can only be Keelan. He immediately called him as he was closing in, “Keelan! I got you now! No need to deny it!”
When he saw the figure enter the abandoned house, Christopher followed. While inside, he kept calling out, “Keelan, I know it’s you! It has to be you!”
“Chris? Chris? Is that you?” A form of Amanda appeared, crying in tears. “Chris, I’m sorry. I’m losing control of myself. I don’t know what is happening!”
With a frowned, Christopher spoke in his head, “You are not Amanda. I perfectly instructed her to remain in Trinity Bay.”
“Chris, please help me,” said the person who was trying so ha-rd to look pitiful.
Confident that this was not Amanda, Christopher took out the sword that hung on his hip and advanced.
The clashing of the blades could instantly be heard, and Keelan’s transformation quickly came on and off. Keelan was left with no choice but to fight back, also taking out his blade.
As they fought, Keelan shifted to being Amanda and just being Keelan. He was exposed outright while trying to defend himself from Christopher’s fearless attacks.
Just as Christopher expected, Keelan’s soldiers came out from their hiding. They also attempted to attack him. To his surprise, however, there were more than just four back-up, coming from Keelan’s side!
Left with no choice, Christopher used the blue crystal, creating a shield of water around him. Right after doing so, he let out the crystal in his hand.
He determined the best and easiest way to bring them down was to control the water in their bodies.
Just the thought of it made Christopher’s aura turned savage.
Keelan and Diana’s men were taken aback, seeing the shield of water. It was the first time they had seen Christopher display his powers.
The soldiers turned frightened, but Keelan said, “Attack! It’s just fu-cking water!”
To their dismay, no matter how they thru-st their swords against the sphere of water, the force of the rotation was just too strong. Their blades were thrown away in an instance.
Repeatedly, they picked up their weapons and tried to penetrate, only to give up!
Just as the soldiers planned to flee, they felt their bodies trembling. They started to sweat heavily and weakened.
Keelan was the same, on his knees and getting soaked. He ended up prematurely advancing their plans, “Stop! Stop! I have the real Amanda! She is unconscious from behind the debris behind you!”
Christopher halted his attack for a second, only to emphasize, “You think you can fool -”
“Don’t believe me? I will go and get her right now!” Keelan hastily ran to the direction. He dragged a body from behind the rubbish and said, “See! This is Amanda! She came out from the castle two hours ago and I put her under a spell!”
It utterly confused Christopher. He earlier saw Keelan shift from looking like Amanda to another form. Apparently, there was a second fake?
“I’ll give her back! Just – just please stop!” In a split second, Keelan pushed the body to Christopher’s direction, leaving him no time to analyze the situation.
He brou-ght down his protection of water and held the woman in his arms. we-ther or not, this Amanda was real, he could not risk it. He just had to be sure.
He shook the lifeless body and was about to call out throu-ghhis head when he heard the woman call to him, “Chris. ”
He saw the woman open her eyes and looked directly into his own. She held out an amulet and begun chanting a few words, “Biquat taewidhatih , anzur fi eayni , wa’aqae fi halat min altanwim almaghnatisii (With the power of this amulet, I see in my eyes, thy is in a state of hypnosis).”
“Aslaf Muktra ، ‘adeukum, kawnukum sayid hadhih altamimati (Ancestors of Muktra, I call on you, being the holder of this amulet).
Seeing Christopher no longer reacted, the figure in front of him understood the chanting had affected him. She smiled and resumed the mantra, putting the master of water into a state of trance.
“Now, down on your knees,” the woman ordered.
Only after Christopher kneeled down, did the woman finally revealed herself.
With a smile on her face, she turned to Keelan and said, “You can put me back now to my original form.”
Her body turned back to the way it was. The person acting as Amanda this time was Diana. She’s not only had the strange amulet that had the power of hypnosis, but she had one other charm attached to her clothes.
It was thanks to Keelan’s habit of collecting powerful charms that they were able to put Christopher in a state of trance.
Seeing Christopher in such a pathetic state, Diana laughed loudly, delighted by their success!
After calming her excitement, she said, “Now for the best part. I’m going to take your power away from you!”
