Ria's Secret, You Are My Everything

The evening grew darker, as the air had a mellow mood, Marius was now seated together with Ria, who sat within his embrace like a docile cat, his arms wrapped around her slender waist as he took in her flowery fragrance from the back of her slim neck.

Feeling his breath behind her neck, Ria felt a bit heated. Her legs twisted as her eyes were almost entranced; this wasn't unexpected, as a female Hellian, the strongest urge other than her nefarious thoughts was none other than lust.

Ria licked her lips with a slight moan, trying her hardest to press down her mood as they watched their children in silence, looking at the play together with the two tiger cubs.

Marius said nothing; he merely gave her the time needed to organize her thoughts; he didn't even interrogate her, patiently awaiting her words.

While her seductive state had engrossed Marius, as he could even smell a woman's 'poison' emitting from her pores, her voice soon woke him from his daze, "Huzy..."

"Em...?" Marius replied with a low sound.

Ria leaned back her head into his chest, staring up at his face from an upward angle, her dazzling purple eyes with long eyelashes seeming as if it held power to swallow his spirit.

Marius tried his hardest to suppress his manhood as he spoke, "Are you ready to speak now?"

Ria made a cute nod, as she stared at him and spoke with slightly complex eyes, "Huzy... you might have known this since our very first meeting, but I am not a human,"

Marius nodded and replied, "Yes, I knew, I figured that much since way back in those times. I've also realized that our children weren't pure humans as well. When I came to this old man's abode, he mentioned the term, Hellian, but that's as far as my knowledge has reached."

When Marius said this, he gave Ria a deep look, he soon noticed that her face had a somewhat pained look as she spoke, "I see, so you already know, then I'll get straight to it. Huzy, it's true that I'm a Hellian, and our children are both part Human and part Hellian. However, I must share the core matter to you about my race, and where I come from, in all truth, I was actually born of this world, born of the Hellion Race at the farthest realms of Valoria, a place known as Hellshire."

Marius nodded as he looked at her; he didn't know what Hellshire was but he had already gathered that she came from this world.

Ria seeing his composed look, sighed and continued, "Hellshire is a world that exists at the boundary of Valoria, you could even say it exists within a separate realm connected to this world. A vast region saturated with chaotic power in its lands. Because of this, people of our kind, are born with a tendency towards evil desires, the stronger amongst us capable of mostly suppressing them or erasing them, but the weaker of us are more prone to instinct, craving destruction, and other things. Due to this reason, our kind is viewed as enemies of all within the land of Valoria. It's now even believed that ever since the dawn of time, we had been at war with both Artimans and Spiritans."

Marius listened keenly, but he soon frowned and spoke, "Ria, I get that this is part of your clan's history with this world, but what does it have to do with coming to our world?"

Ria stared at his face before biting her lips; she made a hesitant look before she spoke, "It has a lot to do with it, just listen for a little while longer."

Marius saw her look sighed and nodded. Ria took a deep breath and continued, "Because of this war, and our Hellian Race having more superior experts due to our more harsh environment. The Spiritans and Artimans were losing too many forces; they had each began to search for new ways to more easily destroy the other side. After many years of research, an incredible method was found. They discovered the Summoners System, a network that can connect to a myriad of distant worlds. Each of these worlds had beings with high potential and great spirit from a myriad of races, and any of them summoned to our world can blossom into splendor. From this point onwards, other summoned warriors from these worlds would be sent to aid in the battles against our kind, pushing us back to the realms of the Hellshire."

Marius narrowed his eyes at those words; he seemed to have realized something that gave him a bad feeling.

Ria as if reading his thoughts finally spoke the core of the matter, she sighed and spoke, "Huzy, it's as if you've guessed, to counter the summoned war-no, Summoned Heros, our kind found a countermeasure. The Hell Elders and Hell Kings of the Hellshire researched an even more complex path in the Summoners System, finding a different world, and it this very world, that they were supposed to summon one being. A lifeform with potential far superior to all others, one who was destined to aid them in achieving rulership over the entire world..."

Marius's face turned dark as he heard those words, he looked at Ria and spoke, "You... you don't mean..."

He was about to say something, but Ria, whose eyes had a hint of sadness, looked at him and spoke, "That's right, my dear husband, the one they wanted to summon was none other than you. The human with the greatest power amongst all humans, an irregularity like none seen before."

Marius gripped his fists tightly as he didn't like this feeling; he didn't like others trying to control his destiny. He took a short moment to calm down as he looked at Ria and spoke, "Ria, although I'd like to push away this feeling, for some reason... I know that it's true... if it were back then when I used to have those feelings as if something was trying to pull me away. In those times when I lived only to kill, then maybe... maybe... I'd..."

Marius was about to say something, but Ria placed her finger on top of his lips, as she spoke with a smile, "It's okay, Huzy, I know... but it doesn't matter, what matters is it didn't work. After all, they couldn't summon you in the end, and had to use different means..."

When Ria said this, her eyes showed a pained look, as it was getting to the part she didn't want to speak. Ria struggled for a while as her eyes began to grow moist as she prepared to talk about the truth now, but it seemed that she didn't have the chance.

Marius being smart, having listened to her this far, knew what she was implying but he pretended not to hear it. He stopped her from speaking by pinching her mouth softly as he spoke while looking at her, "Ria, summoned or not summoned, plotted or not plotted against, none of that matters. If you never came to Earth, or you weren't in my life, I... I would never be who I am today. So Ria, don't say anymore... I don't need to know anything else, what matters from ever since that time and forever always is that you are my wife, my radiant star in the darkest of nights, my dazzling rose in the abyss of blood-stained thorns. You, my love, are my everything."

When Ria heard those words, no matter how she tried to suppress it, her emotions went wild, her eyes pouring out tears like rain as she spoke, "I... I... don't deserve such lo.."

Marius snorted at those words, not even letting her have her way to finish them; he acted fiercely, lowering his head and swallowing her misbehaving lips.

Ria's eyes widened in shock, but as she felt the forceful mouth that enclosed her, she soon after lost herself into it as the two lips began a tug of war, as if trying to engulf each other's souls.

Grevlin, who was playing with Little Rose, looked up innocently; being the smart boy he was, he knew what was going on to some degree. He hurriedly did the usual, by drawing Little Rose's attention away from the wild couple that did such acts without a care in the world.

By this time, the Mountain Ax Senior was about to check up on the surroundings. However, the moment he left his house, he saw the sight of the couple fighting a battle with their lips locked tightly.

The Mountain Ax Senior made a disturbed look as he thought to himself, "Jeez, what's wrong with these people? Can't they act more modest?"

He sighed, knowing full well it wasn't his place to interfere, hurrying to enter back the house as he left the setting sun to witness the passionate exchange of man and wife.
