Too pure to be loved

Finn was busy cooking meals. The table filled with sweet mosses, cakes made of planktons and corals.The freshly roasted aroma of the sea fish filled the room. Asher eyes lit up and he quickly grabbed finn's hand stopping him as he was setting the dishes.

He didn't taste the sweetness of the moss or the rich fish aroma; he tasted only the fear of the secret burning on his tongue. He pulled Finn close to his chest.

"I went to the lighthouse, to summon siren, and help us retrieve what I truly deserve. Asher continued. It showed us the path but it needs your support too. Asher paused. Finn kept listening he gave an assuring smile.That's enough for Asher.

He didn’t soften the details. He told him about the Trident, about the powerful Queen Elora's diamond, and finally, he spoke of the Siren's hardest price.

Finn, the second weapon—the one that destroys the Sea Spells. It requires the grief tears of the spouse. I—I used them. Every single pearl you cried last night. And all the others I kept.” Asher braced himself for the hurt, but finn didn't pull away, he didn't scream or cry. He buried his face into Asher's neck deepening the hug.

"I cried because I fear you Asher. The fear of losing you was worst. if my tears were your powerful weapon to destroy the fake king and stop this war, then they were never mine to keep.

A wave of pure love washed over Asher. He thanked the heavens for sending this pure soul. This was his real crown.

Asher broke the hug. He cupped finn's checks, eyes fixed on the youngsters plump lips. Their lips moved with slow rhythm and passion.

Asher bit Finn's lower lip, making a quiet moan escape his lips. When finn opened his mouth, Asher's tongue entered tracing each inch raw and intense.

Suddenly,Finn pushed Asher not too unkindly. He wiped his mouth, breathing unevenly he spoke - Enough. Have a meal. He insisted. "You said we have an early morning journey to the volcanic base".

Asher chuckled. He shoveled the spoon full of sweet mosses into his mouth enjoying it a bit too much as he watched Finn.

The morning came fast. Finn is busy packing the survival essentials while Asher packing all the ritual things into his kelp bag. He even put the conch shell in it. just in case he needed it for emergencies to protect Finn.

The couple began to swim to the south towards the deep ocean ranges, they met with many new and exotic species of their kingdom. The temperature suddenly spiked as they were near the spot.

The legendary Trident of authority glowed above the volcanic crest. Climbing it seemed impossible : though it didn't fully erupt, a simple shift in the rock was enough to end every species in the water and on land.

Siren soft beam echoed : It's not the physical task, Asher. Remember what I told you about the trail of worthiness. You have to prove it with your mental abilities along with Finn.

Finn murmured "Isn't this worthiness about trust. My grandmother used to say that. It uses the Mirroring task effect like using the forbidden spell formations of both clans."

Asher lost in his thoughts.
