Chapter Lolly
'There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement and acceptance, In all the world, there is no love for you like mine. Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.'

Gabriel heaved out a sign as he stares at his old friend, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Michael, you and I know that there is nothing you can do about it, except you want to go against our King order." Gabriel said.
"But I can't seem to forget about her no matter how hard I tried to, her memories are buried deep inside me. I choose my position instead of her Gabriel, I was such a big fool." Michael said. "Can Selena ever forgive me for denying her in the presence of everyone?"
Selena was one of the seven goddesses of the Great Sea Nile (read Chapter 12 when Selena introduced herself to Rae), in fact, the seven goddesses of the Sea Nile were blood sisters. Selena was the seventh daughter of King Nile, who fall in love with Michael.
She saw a shooting star falling from the sky and landing near the back of a cave one night she was alone.
Her sisters and father had gone out for swimming, she was left alone.
Seeing the shooting star, she rushed to where it had landed and saw a man with wings, unconscious. His wings broken, almost tearing off from his back, he was seriously injured.
She lifted him up to her shoulders with the little strength she had, and took him down to her cave filled with water, placing her lips over his, she breathed air into the unconscious wings man, she entered the water with him, transforming into her full mermaid form, she swam lower until she got to the bottom of the cave where she kept her healing medicine. Placing the unconscious man on her large seashell bed, she went over to where her medicine shells were kept. She opened the green sea shell she normally kept for emergence and apply it on the place where the wings were almost fallen out. It healed and the wings became whole again.
Selena smiled to herself as she saw the wings patching themselves up in their rightful places. His wounds, he had sustained started healing at a faster rate.
At that moment, the unconscious man sneezed and opened up his eyes.
He was very surprised when he saw himself inside the water with a beautiful lady with tail beside him, looking at him. He stretched out his arm to attack but Selena used her tail to knock that arm out. He clutched his throat as he breathed in some water.
"Relax, the water won't kill you, I was able to make you breath and talk in the water. I am not your enemy, you fall down from the sky and landed here, I saw you and took you down here to heal you." Selena explained. He looked doubtful though as he stares at her.
He looked everywhere and saw all types of shells, he tried to move his wings and realize that it moved perfectly.
He turned to stare at the mermaid. His broken wings were healed? How?
Remembering what the mermaid had said about breathing and talking and healing, he decided to test that talking in the water, "Who are you?" He asked as his wings stretch out, not so wide. It felt strange hearing himself talking in the water. His angelic voice made Selena smile the more. "I am Selena and you?" She answered leaving out the part of her being the daughter of King Nile.
"I am Michael." He reply still staring at her.
"How did you fall off from the sky? What wings tribe are you from?" Selena asked, she wanted to know.
"I am an Angel who lives in the sky, we are at war with the unholy ones." Michael answered her and without saying much, he rose from the huge seashell which serves as bed to her kind, and swam up.
He came out of the open, at the mouth of the cave and came out of it, surprisedly, his war clothes were dried.
He turned to regard the mermaid coming out from the cave behind him, her tail transforming back to her legs.
"Thank you Selena, when this is over, I will come back."
Without waiting for a response, he flew up and disappeared into the clouds.
Selena watches until he was out of sight, something triggers in her heart, but she couldn't point exactly what the feelings were.
She waited and waited for 1,000 years, but Michael didn't show up like he had promised.
Everyday she hoped to see the angel who lives in the sky, but her dream wasn't forthcoming.
The once happy mermaid became sad, she realized that feelings she had felt when she saw the angel flying away, was actually love.
Her sisters and father had tried to find out the problem which she kept mute and couldn't open up to them.
One day, after she has almost given up on setting her eyes on Micheal, she got a surprise visit.
"Selena, someone is looking for you." Lydia, the second sister, said to Selena. They were out in the open.
"Someone?" Selena asked confusedly as she left what she was doing to face her sister.
Lydia closed her eyes answering her.
"Yes, a good looking young man, he called himself Michael. He said he was looking for Selena and..." opening her eyes, she found herself alone.
Selena ran with her heart in her mouth and hope it was the same Michael her sister is talking about.
She wasn't disappointed, it was indeed Michael, stopping at his front, her smile came out again.
They stared at each other for a long time.
"I thought you had forgotten about your promise and me." Selena finally said breaking off the silence that has engulfed them.
"Forget you? How can I forget the beautiful lady who healed me? Sorry I came back after so many years, we were rebuilding what was left of our Kingdom after the war." Michael told the lady he kept dreaming of every single day after he had left. "I am glad you remembered me." Selena said.
"Who wouldn't remember your beautiful face?" Michael said with a smile which Selena returned shyly. "I was in haste the last time you saved me and didn't take my time to look at you, you are truly beautiful Selena, I kept thinking of you all these years, you are in my dreams and the first thing I saw each morning I wake up." Michael confessed at last as he closed the distance between them, touching her cheek. "I owe you a lot Selena for saving me years back, I am grateful I met you. I love you Selena, this is the second time I am seeing you physically, please do not reject my love I have for you."
Selena didn't know which one of them moved first, definitely her, as they kissed passionately.
Their love story began....
Selena introduced him to her father and sisters. He was welcomed by them.
Michael always sneaked out to see his lover who was not from his world, their love was unbreakable and strengthen with time.
They got engaged and set to marry. Selena knows he always sneaked out to see her and her people.
Whenever king Nile asks her daughter why he hasn't set his eyes on the Angel people, Selena always find an excuse to cover him up.
All was going well for them and Michael was planning on revealing Selena to his king when an Angel who despise Michael informed the king of his movement.
King of the Angels, Aaron, told Michael what he heard which he confirmed it to be true.
King Aaron was outrage when he heard Micheal's confession.
"It is abominable Michael, you, getting married to a fish, a mer-folk, that's unheard off. It is forbidden Michael." King Aaron said.
"But we love each other my king, there is nothing abominable about our love." Michael said.

"Have you ever heard of an Angel marrying outside his or her kind? No, and it will not start with you, if you don't cut whatever it is you said you have with the fish girl, then I will wage war against her people." King Aaron said with finality. Michael hurriedly went to tell Selena what transpired between him and his king.
"I will stand by you, don't be afraid Michael." Selena assured him.
"I am not afraid Selena, I am just confused." Michael said.
"Confused about what?"
"He said our love was forbidden, that it wasn't meant to happen."
"Then we are going to prove him wrong Michael."
When Aaron saw that Michael wouldn't yield to his command, Aaron called out his best angels warriors and they went to war against King Nile.
King Nile was surprised to see an army of Angels descending towards his Kingdom and without waiting to give his reasons for coming, Aaron commanded his angels to kill all the mer-folk.
It was a great massacre as the mer-folk who weren't prepared were killed.
Selena who had gone hunting with her sisters returns to see the angels killing their people.
Lydia shout of rage stopped all the angels in their tracks.
"What is going on! Why are you attacking us!" Lydia shouted in anger.
Aaron then told them why he had attacked them. When he finished explaining, he turned to look at Michael.
"Now Michael you will have to choose between your people and her, choosing her, I will strip you off your powers and wings and you will become a human, or, choosing your kind, you will become my next in command. It is now your choice." Selena knew that Michael would choose her over anything, but she got the shock of her life when Michael choose his people.
"I am sorry Selena, you know I have been fighting for that rank since and I can't let it slip away from my hands. I am sorry." Michael told her sadly.
"Well, it is done, he chooses his people." Aaron said with pride and they flew away.
Michael didn't look back.
Selena who had started crying turn to face her father.
"I banished you from ever returning here again, you have caused us a great loss. From today henceforth, Selena ceased to be my daughter." King Nile decree.
He ordered some of the guards to throw Selena out of his Kingdom.
"We shall all live in our caves from now henceforth, let it be known that all the mer-folks were wiped out." King Nile decree.
With no where else to go, Selena left her home in tears. Crossing to the other side of the great Sea.
She later got to know she was with Michael's child, rather than killing the unborn child, she let it live.
Along the way, she met with others friends, who were supernaturals, Roen's father and so on, together they built their own kingdoms.
She gave birth to a girl and named her Avonmora
Saving stray mermaids, turning evil sirens to good, became Selena's hobby and soon all the whole mermaids made their way to be with Selena.

No one knows that beyond the reef of the sea lives King Nile and his people and her sisters.
"Like I said before, you can't change the past my friend." Gabriel said. "Instead of dwelling in the past, you have the future facing you, if you really love her like you claim, then correct your mistakes now."
"True, I will search for her everywhere, since she was driven away from her home by her father." Michael said with determination. "She is somewhere out there."

Hugging Jorkallun felt right as she relaxes the more into his body. She wished that Jorkallun would love her and not see her as his little sister.
"Rae, we are being stared at." Jorkallun voice broke through her thoughts.
All the students including the teachers had stopped what they were doing and were staring at them. Jack has to open his office door a little bit to peep at them when he heard the students whispering with his wolf hearings. Releasing herself from him with embarrassment. "Sorry about that, I am happy you came with me." Rae said almost blushing, almost.
Jorkallun sent her his charming smile, "It's okay Rae, we get carried away sometimes, come, we are late for class." Jorkallun said holding Rae's hand and leading them towards their class.
Rae smile at their joined hands and felt how right they fit together.
They could make a great couple if Jorkallun would give her chance.
Rae thought as she allowed the pretty red haired boy to lead her.

Lolly was enraged when she left the principal office, King Roen has sided her enemy.
Instead of going back to her class, she left the school in a fit of anger.
She got home and found the house empty, she was glad she was alone. She utter some magic words and a little whirl wind blew before stopping. Tamara stood in the place of the wind. "What is it Lolly?" Tamara asked once she saw the anger in her child's eyes.
"It's a new girl in my school mother, she is really getting on my nerves." Lolly answered.
"Then deal with her, you are an Amazon warrior from your father's side, take some of your best warriors and deal with the girl, no one will question." Tamara told her daughter. "That's it mother, she has defeated me and my girls twice, I have been humiliated by her, and Jason wouldn't do a damn thing."
"And you kept it all away from me until this moment?" Tamara asked.
"Sorry mother, I thought I would handle her on my own." Lolly responded.
"Who is this stupid girl that dares humiliate you?"
"Rae, her stupid name is Rae."
"What's the name of her parents?" Tamara asked.
"She is Lillian's granddaughter mother."
"Lillian? You mean the witch Queen?" Tamara asked and Lolly nodded her head. "She has a granddaughter?" Tamara asked with surprise, she didn't know Lillian has a granddaughter. "Yes and this granddaughter of hers humiliated me."
"Don't worry my child, I will pay Lillian a visit and probably get to see this young witch I haven't encountered yet."
