Amazing Underachievers: Chapter Three
(POV Lenna)
I slowly awoke in what appeared to be an underground shelter of sorts. The lighting was dim, the walls were metal plated and there were no windows. I took notice of Siegfried, still asleep, next to me on the prison-like cot we occupied. Where the f*ck are we? I pondered.
“Sleep well?”
I then took notice of the man who took us captive.
“F*ck you!” I arose from the bed swiftly to strike him but before I could lay a hand on her, a sword was pushed against my throat.
He smiled coyly. “Calm down, little girl.”
I insisted, “Go to Hell. We're leaving.”
“You will do no such thing. As bad as you perceive me to be, the others who are looking for you are far more malevolent than I.”
I slowly backpedaled. “That can't be...”
“I was there when your parents met their end. While it was the crime syndicate that killed your father, it was Mars who ended your mother's life.”
His eyes pierced mine as he mentioned my mother's demise.
“You really knew my parents?”
“Indeed. They were my pupils, looking to escape from poverty, as well as the clutches of the Triads. Unfortunately, I could not save them. Could not save her...”
I could see tears form in his eyes.
“Her?”
“Your mother. Before she was involved with your father, she and I were lovers.”
It was a lot to accept. However, I needed more answer.
“And what are you, exactly? You said you were son of Jupiter, as in the old Roman deity?”
“Indeed.”
“But why would the gods intervene in our lives now, of all times?”
“That story is two fold. One. The Demiurge, and evil god cast in to the deepest layer of Tartarus, has managed to escape with several demons and condemned humans and is prepared to over run both the earth and Olympus. Two. Jupiter has fallen ill and Mars has usurped control of Olympus. Unlike his father, who didn't wish to intervene in human affairs until he felt they were ready to live amongst the gods, Mars despises them. Whoever wins, mankind will be subjected to eternal slavery and torment.”
It started to make sense to me. But he never specified his intentions. “And what about you?”
“Being that I am a halfling, that is half god and half human; I know all too well how feeble you mortals are. I have no sympathy for your kind, albeit what little human compassion I have inherited presses me to coexist with your wretched species, much to my dismay.”
“That doesn't sound very reassuring.”
“Perhaps, but what about your little lover boy over there?”
I was irked. “What about him?”
“Aren't you feeling insecure he'll leave you for a younger woman? Considering your substantial seniority and all...”
I was caught off-guard. “How did you...”
“Your mind is an open book to me.”
“But...”
He interrupted before I could talk further. “I can grant you immortality, thus you never age past your peak fertility and health. That is an ability I inherited from my father. I had bestowed the same gift upon your mother, however it only did no good as she was murdered.”
“What about me?”
“Siggy!” I turned to see my young lover had awoken.
“Why would you be worthy of such a gift? You have no dormant power to exploit, therefore it would be fruitless.”
I inquired, “How are you so certain I have this power you seek?”
“Because your mother had it. I can also sense it deep within you.”
“So, in exchange for immortality, you expect me to aide you fight Mars and the demiurge?”
“Indeed. Although, there is another favor that I require.”
“What's that?”
“Your mother was the only person in this world of shit that I cared for. And since you resemble her so much...
I can't say I didn't expect it. “Surprise, surprise. I have to sleep with you. Let me tell you this, you better live up to your end of the bargain, and he gets to be immortal also, otherwise all bets are off.”
Siegfried was confused. “Wait, what?”
I tried to assure him. “It's okay, baby. Regardless of what happens, my heart will be yours and I'll always look out for you.”
“Uh...” His face was inflamed with redness, still not accustomed to female affection.
“Very well,” Vlok stated. “I shall begin the spiritual ceremony for ascension.”
Without any further, warning, his physical form lit up like a light bulb, blinding us. A very annoying buzz also violated our ear drums.
After what seemed like hours, but was actually a minute, the blinding light and deafening shriek had extinguished.
“Well Lenna, you should now have super human strength and speed. In addition, you both should be resistant to age or disease.”
Vlok looked to the plated walls. “That's several layers of titanium and concrete. However, with your new power, you should be able to punch through it.”
“Huh,” I was curious.
It tried to hook the wall with my right first and needless to say I was able to pierce the plating as well as the concrete. I also felt no pain in doing so.
“Holy shit, can I do that too?” Siegfried inquired.
“I doubt it, you lack the spiritual potency she does. Her power isn't strictly physical, but spiritual as well.”
“That's ****ing lame,” Siegfried mumbled. However, he didn't feel satisfied throwing in the towel.
With but a single jab from my young lover, the titanium plated wall shattered like glass, much to my and even Vlok's bewilderment.
(POV Vlok)
I couldn't believe it. That buffoon of a human had far more spiritual potency than I had thought possible. I was disconcerted that his dormant power was invisible to me; it felt as if there was there was another great power, aligned with neither Mars nor the demiurge, at play here. I knew there was only one capable of such a deviant scheme, however he was killed by Jupiter long ago...
(POV Lenna)
After assuring Siegfried again that I would always be his, he agreed to let me do whatever I needed to do to keep up my end of the bargain and evade Vlok's imminent wrath.
I could tell how tormented my young lover was, yet he didn't fight it. I felt like shit.
However, after Vlok and I had done the deed, I only felt worse. The man, being much older and much more spiritually aware than I was, was a master of sexual technique. Any orgasm I had in life was far and few between, but this half god, this freak of nature was able to trigger my most heightened sense of arousal without effort.
I enjoyed it far more than I hoped I would, and I desperately needed more.
End Chapter Three.
