Eveleen

After reconnecting with Nate and Luke for several hours, I finally convinced Victor we needed to speak with the Void. We stood outside and I let his magic take control as we suddenly found ourselves in the darkness. It felt like a sandstorm as the wind picked up. "What's going on?" I asked, our hands tightly gripped together.

"I don't know," he said, trying to pull me closer, but the wind seemed almost angry as it tore at us. "Jewel!" he roared as the nothingness of the Void swirled around us like gale-force winds and I felt Victor's hand being ripped from my own. My skin was battered by what felt like tiny granules of sand as the wind raged and howled around me. I sank to my knees, terrified.

"What do you want from me you bastard," I screamed to the Void, then felt a searing pain as if my lungs were being filled with fire.

Insolent child! Your power comes from me and you dare to question me. Perhaps Erebus would have been a better choice, the Void growled in my mind. A scream ripped from my throat as I felt hands on my hips forcing me face down. The Void's laughter filled my mind as I felt myself being penetrated.

"Hello little fairy," Erebus gloated as he began pumping inside of me.

"This isn't real," I said out loud, trying to get away.

Laughter filled my mind once more, but the pain didn't stop. "Does it matter anymore?" I cried out at the sound of Deimos's voice, remembering when he'd asked me that exact thing. I tried to turn my head and see behind me, but the wind and shadows obstructed my view. I could still feel myself being fucked as fingers now pinched and circled my clit.

Maybe you need to become one with me to understand, the Void said almost like a lover's caress as I felt grainy hands massage my hips. You can be mother to a new race of Titans, Eveleen. No beginning, no end. I groaned as I felt what I now realized was him, using my body. How do you fight nothing and everything all at once?

"No, no I don't want that. I don't want this," I gritted out. "I want my husbands back, my family back."

He chuckled and I felt my body shudder, What you want doesn't matter.

I can only describe what I felt in that moment as a bomb going off inside of my body, but feeling like it was trapped inside of me. A scream tore from me as I orgasmed and felt myself slowly falling apart, almost disintegrating.

So broken, so beautiful, the Void crooned as my mind seemed to still and take in everything around me, but my body wasn't there anymore.

What have you done to me? I demanded.

You are remade. I didn't push you far enough before, but now, now you are unstoppable. Can't you see your own darkness, your own potential? the Void asked.

I don't understand.

Think and will it into existence, it said. I focused on my sons. I had no idea if I was alive, human, or even still pregnant. I ached to know them, to hold them. Laughter filled my mind as it spoke again, Are you ready?

Ready for what? I asked, becoming more and more frustrated. Suddenly, I felt a searing pain in my abdomen and screamed.

Ready for that, the Void laughed and I found myself surrounded by warmth and light.

"Patience has never been your strong suit, Star."

"Sean," I asked, my voice cracking.

He stepped closer and I felt his arms wrap around my body...wait, I had a body again. What the hell is going on here? I started to open my mouth, but another wave of pain shot through me. I grabbed my stomach only to realize I was huge. How long have I been here?

"You're in labor, Star. We need to get you back," Sean said, supporting my body.

"I...I don't know how," I whimpered, fighting another contraction.

He chuckled softly, "The same way you manifested your pregnancy to full term. The same way you called me. Simply will it, Eveleen. You're a goddess now. Stop thinking like a human or even a fairy." Was it really that simple?

I closed my eyes, clinging to Sean, and envisioned the home we had been staying in. I pictured each of them waiting for us and let out a slow breath as he counted softly to me.

"What the fuck?" I heard Gabriel gasp and opened my eyes to find them all standing around a large bed that I was now lying in. "How the hell did we get here and how did you just skip months of pregnancy?"

"Sean," Owen said in a scratchy voice. "Is...is that you?"

He held out his hand to Owen, "It's me, my love. Come, you and Victor need to help her. It won't be much longer now," Sean told him.

I let out another cry as a contraction hit. Sean waved his hand and the bed quickly shifted to a hospital-style bed with my feet in stirrups. I raised my eyebrow at his new magic but he only gave me one of those panty-dropping smiles that sent a heatwave to my core, then began checking me. "Almost there, Star. Owen, and Victor, take her hands. On the next contraction, you're going to push hard, beautiful girl," he grinned.

I looked up to see both of them crying. I could feel their joy, fear, and excitement like a current flowing through me. I reached out, pushing my energy toward all of them, even Deimos. I felt lust, anger, pain, hollowness, and need radiating from those still in captivity. Then I heard him.

Seirína

I felt a shiver in my soul as his voice cut through my mind. Mo chaomhnóir, I called to him. I will find you - I promise. I swear I felt his hands against my cheek as the next contraction hit and I began to push. Sean counted and I fell against strong arms as he reached ten.

"Good job, baby. Now, do it again on the next one," Sean said. He rubbed my ankle reassuringly. "Do you want me to let them see?"

"What do you mean, who?" I asked, completely confused.

"Silas and Axel," he said with a smile. "Morpheus can help me show them. I felt Silas reach out to you already. They are the least changed of those that remain. They still know who they are, it's just been warped, however, their love for you is still true. Neither took a mate or even touched a female leviathan. They have honored their bond with you, Eveleen. So, do you want me to show them?"

Tears sprang to my eyes as I nodded, "Yes please."

"As the goddess wishes," he said, but now it was Morpheus in control. He shifted his gaze to the side and a swirl of black appeared. It was like looking in the side of an aquarium tank as Axel and Silas came into view. I was shocked by their appearance. While they both still had their mermen forms, now they also had large iridescent black tentacles that swished through the water keeping them in constant motion. Their eyes were almost solid black as well.

Dove, Axel said in my mind, you look beautiful.

"M'anáil," I whispered, then winced as a contraction began. Victor and Owen squeezed my hands as I pushed.

I felt a release of pressure and heard a shrill wail. "Owen, would you like to cut the cord?" Sean asked as he held up our son. He looked like a miniature version of Owen in his Fae form, right down to the swirling grey eyes.

"Tesoro, he's beautiful," Owen sobbed as he cut the cord and held him. I reached out my hand to our son and when the three of us came into contact a myriad of visions filled my mind. I heard Owen gasp as we both spoke, "Idris."

"You saw it too?" I asked.

He nodded, then placed a kiss on my forehead, "Yes, love. You have given me an amazing gift. Now, take a breath and get ready to show Victor his son."

I noticed Silas and Axel tracking Owen's movements closely as he showed our son to the others. I felt the next contraction hit and began pushing. "You're doing so well, Jewel," Victor cooed as he swiped my forehead with a moist towel. I could feel him pushing energy into me as I let out a small yell that was soon drowned out by our son's cries. He quickly cut the cord and held him up against me. "Our little shadow, Ash," he whispered. He had his father's fiery eyes but his hair resembled my now silvery hair.

****

I sat up in the bed holding both boys as Silas and Axel continued to watch us. "You seem very interested in Idris?" I finally said.

Silas looked at me. "Something about him calls to us. We don't understand it. Owen, will you bring him closer?"

He looked at me and I nodded, then said, "Just keep Sean close." Sean winked in understanding and walked with Owen to the portal Morpheus had created. We watched in fascination as our only hours-old son reached out to touch the swirling black waters and his entire body lit up with red mist. A splashing sound filled the room as the portal collapsed and Silas and Axel fell onto the floor - completely human.

"Holy fuck," Luke gasped.

"I second that," North said, reaching out to Silas as Nate moved to help up Axel. "Are you guys, well, you?" he asked.

They both looked completely shocked as they patted themselves then embraced and nodded, "Yeah, um, we seem to be," Axel said. "Just how powerful are you all now? I mean, that was insane. How did he even do that?"

Sean kissed a gaping Owen and laughed, "I think you'll find all of us are far more than we once were. The stronger our bond grows, the more powerful we all will become. Not sure if the Void saw that coming or not, but by now, he's no match for any of them," he explained motioning to myself, Victor, Owen, and our boys. "If Idris can do that now, imagine what he will be like as an adult?"

"What about Ash?" Victor asked. "Have you or Morpheus seen anything about him?"

"I believe our lovely wife already has those answers, but it isn't time yet," he answered.

I reached out my hand as Silas and Axel came to the bed. "I've missed you both so much," I whined as they kissed me. I felt their power as we touched and whispered, "It's still there, isn't it?"

Silas nodded, "Yes, I can still feel the power, but now I know I can control it. I don't think we will ever be just merfolk again, Seirína. I'm sorry."

"Mo chaomhnóir, just as I told Owen, I love all of you no matter what form you are in. You are my husbands and my destiny. That goes for you as well, m'anáil."

Axel cupped my face and kissed me softly. "I love you so much, Dove. Oh, and just as a reminder, we aren't too far from that hundred-year rut." I squeaked as my face turned crimson and all of them laughed at me.

Author's Notes:  Two more reunited.  Hmmm....who or what is next?  Any guesses on Ash and his powers?

I'll be out of town for 4-5 days, so no updates...sorry.
