14 I Am Your Prisoner For The Eternity.

Celestia's POV:

"Everybody covers your ears," Darius shouted. " And don't stare at their eyes. No matter what happens, look at the ground."

How can we battle them if we are not allowed to look at them? But I don't have to follow his instructions. This emerald amulet protects me from all kinds of enchantments. 

After a while, four beautiful young ladies appeared out of a white smoke of air. Can Sirens transport from one place to another without a portal? Even I can't do that! 

The Siren girls were so pretty. Their eyes were crystal blue, just like the ocean tides. They all had a metallic golden harp in their hands, and they started pulling out the harp's strings. 

Their music was sweet and mesmerizing. But I wasn't enchanted by it. I glanced at Darius. He seemed to be a bit dizzy. Perhaps he is not entirely immune to the Siren's music.

"Darius," I called out. "Are you alright?" 

He slowly nodded his head as if he was waking up from slumber. " Yeah, I am fine. Come on, warriors. Let us imprison the Sirens."

I turned around to look at the warriors. They all were enjoying the music. It seems like I am not the only one who gets affected by enchantments.

I took out my sword and stepped towards the Sirens. I thought that they would get terrified. But they were all smiling at me and continued to play their harps.

Suddenly, an ecstatic wave hit me. I dropped my sword on the ground when I heard a piece of new music. This tune was ten times more melodic than the one Siren girls were playing. I ran in the direction of the sound. 

The Sirens followed me, but I didn't care about them. I don't care about anything or anyone. All I want is to do was keep on hearing the song. 

And then I saw the person who has been haunting my dreams for a long time. His pearl-like elegant hands were playing the strings of a Silver Lyre Harp. I felt glad that he wasn't covering his face with his cloak this time. I admired his physique for a while.

Silver Shadow started to hit the high notes of his musical instrument. I wasn't able to control myself anymore. I started swirling around to the rhythm. What am I doing now? I never knew that I could dance.

He watched my every movement without blinking his eyes. My heartbeat stopped when he stepped closer to me. I stopped dancing and glanced at him. 

He placed his hand on my face. I should be battling him now. But I didn't. How can someone this gorgeous can be cruel?

"I am not your enemy, Celestia," he whispered. " I am your destiny."

He then bent his neck a little forward and pressed his lips on mine. Whatever he said was right. He must be my destiny. If he is not, then why does this feel so right. 

After a while, he pulled away from me. " Be mine, Celestia. I will show your true self to you. I'll help you with unleashing your hidden powers."

A sharp, loud, and rumbling noise in the sky distracted me. I was puzzled. This is not monsoon. Father Oberon must have manipulated the weather. Only he has the power to control the weather in this realm. But why is he doing this now? 

Then it started raining heavily. When the rainwater touched my skin, I was free from the illusions. What just happened now? It took me a while to come back to my senses.

Did I dance to his song? And Silver Shadow kissed me? My worst nightmare has come true. I took a step away from the Tempter. He was still grinning at me. 

"How dare you touch me?" I screamed at him. 

"Celestia, please don't suppress your inner desires," he said. 

I went frantic. He has haunted me so much for the past few days. He must pay for that now. I raised my hands, and I was about to strike him with my golden sparks. I thought he would fight me back, but he just knelt down on the ground and accepted defeat. 

Why is he not battling me? " Get up and fight me, you coward," I screamed at him.

"My love, I can never attack you," he replied. " You can imprison me in a dungeon, or you can throw me in the deep abyss of torment. But still, I won't be able to hurt you."

His response moved me. He must be really in love with me! Then I realized what he did the last time. He surrendered to me the same way, but he snatched away the moonstone from my hand. 

This time he could do something like that again. I am not going to let that happen. I struck my golden flames at him. 

But an invisible shield neutralized my flames. The Siren girls surrounded the Silver Shadow. 

The tallest girl among them scowled at me. " He might kneel to you. But we will not do the same."

" Fine! Then bring it on," I shouted at them. 

" Ivory, stop," Silver Shadow yelled out. " Don't hurt her."

" But she was going to hurt you. And we are obligated to protect you," she protested. 

Silver Shadow got up from the ground and stood in front of me. "If any of you try to hurt her, then I won't hesitate to fight you back."

The Sirens were taken aback. Even I was stunned. Is Silver Shadow ready to fight his allies for me? 

" Now, why don't you all go back to Selene," he said to the girls. 

" We can't do that," Ivory said. " Queen Cynthia won't be pleased if she knows that we abandoned you."

He groaned. " I yielded to Celestia, and I am her prisoner now. So it is best if you girls leave."

The Sirens were disappointed by his statement. But they followed his orders and started to fade away slowly in white smoke. 

After they left, Silver Shadow turned to me. " Where are you going to take me, my love?"

" Stop calling me like that," I snapped at him. "It is time that you pay for everything you did to me. You are going to be confined in a cold dungeon."

He wasn't a bit offended by my words. " I am willing to do anything you ask me to do, Celestia. I want to be your prisoner for eternity."
