Don't fight Allen!

As Philip balled the ring in his fist....he felt a tingle coming from the ring

"give it Philip!" Allen repeated his request...this time stretching his left hand forward and taking a step forward... causing Philip to move backwards simultaneously that he crashed into the first step to his throne ...he staggered backwards but eventually gained his balance. He was determined not to be taken unaware...his gaze hovered over Allen conscious that he is the prey. His danger instinct killed him hard but there was no way he could out run this lord. He couldn't apparate ... he had speed since he was a blood sucking deity but he didn't have that magic in his possession. And this lord?! _he was everything and more!

"I'm not giving you the ring lord Allen" Philip retorted like a toddler would... hiding a candy behind him in his tiny balled fist. Allen only smirked

"I was trying to be nice... don't let me hurt you Philip..I wouldn't say this again" this time...his nonchalant rhythm was what he breathed... Philip didn't know why .. instead of ease...the atmosphere suddenly became heavier and he felt like he'd be choked by this 'oh so calm lord' ...was he always like this?! wasn't he supposed to be serious? Philip became even more wary of him. What should he do?! what can he do?! .

and as if a light bulb appeared in his head... Philip was so fast as his eyes glimmered in hope... Allen launched an attack almost immediately but too little too late ...he was blasted backwards...but he maintained his balance...his feet scuffing from the feet on the throne to the end of the throne room... causing the rug to flame... and the room suddenly was on fire...

Allen was in shocked surprise...he was too late...he could hear Philip's mind chanting 'don't fight Allen'...but immediately he heard 'wear the ring' he'd approached to collect the ring but he was too late... Philip was now endowed with the power of the ring... The ring had blasted Allen backwards... recognizing him ...yet protecting it's new bearer from the wrath of the god. Allen was disappointed ..he'd miscalculated yet again...if he forces this lord to give him the ring now ...he'd be forcing the lord to an early grave. As if he could already hear Melissa's voice telling him to let go ....he dusted something off himself and whispered to the air .. causing the kindling flames to die down and the palace returned to it's original form. Philip was amused but he didn't want to act all sheepish now. ...he was up against this lord and he couldn't read the lord or see anything about him...he had to watch his clock and be on alert.

Allen signed and turned away...he looked over his shoulder one last time before apparating... Philip knew that look ...'id be back!'

He knew Allen wasn't scared...he knew it was more of 'I don't want to hurt you' Allen had told him .... although he was grateful...he still was bearing grudges against Allen...he didn't know why they weren't dying down. He also knew...there was no point going after Allen.

Allen appeared back in the land of lilies...just right at the shore and he looked into the crystal clear water... melody emerged...her tale flapping... almost sprinkling water on Allen...but Allen stayed rooted to the snow white sand. Melody stood up and as she swam out of the water...her legs began to form...her long black hair dropped to cover up her breast and she rolled her hands in the air and a towel appeared...she immediately tired in around her waist before her fish body completely disappeared and reveal her nakedness to Allen.

Allen who didn't look interested in her features only watched her approach him looking almost disgusted as if that was an ill view ...but melody was a beauty...her entrance was a wow sight to behold....but that didn't make the atmosphere light

"don't fight Philip lord Allen!" melody said...as if ordering him ...she immediately realized her tone and flinched... taking three steps backwards as if ready to parry "that was what the goddess had said!" she said.. defending herself... making it obvious she only repeated the order she was given to pass on. The atmosphere began light again and she let out the breath she didn't realize she was holding.

Allen was looking at her with questioning eyes...he didn't have to speak...melody better understand what those looks meant ... and thank God she did

"I was looking up at the moon last night... hopefully to see her return...but all I could get was her voice filtered in the wind...that was all I got"

Allen didn't say much...he only turned to leave and melody rushed after him... leaving a space of at least five steps between them
