Chapter 15.

******

"I still can't believe we are doing this because of a dream!" Evander ruffled his hair.

The Golden Palace stood right in front of them, glittering proudly in the warm sun.

"This is the most beautiful sight I have ever behold in my entire life!" Erin Yelled with mouth wide open.

Damon's head was in complete disarray as his memories hurt his brain.

It was all coming back. But a little too much that it was starting to hurt his eyes making his vision blur.

The pain was excruciating as it pushed the man to his knees.

Damon grabbed both sides of his head and screamed.

Evander and Erin rushed over to him and held the man as his body trembled and shook uncontrollably.

"What is wrong with him?" Evander asked worriedly.

"I have no idea!"

"Has this happened before?"

"No!"

"Let's take him back home!" Evander carried the man in his arms.

**********

"He's here!" Gouria jumped away from the bed, startling Anderios.

"Who?!" Anderios asked as he ran after his lover.

"He's right outside!"

"What?!" Anderios has no idea what he meant by that.

Gouria bolted out from the palace and ran down the flights of stairs.

He stood and looked on both sides as he tried to figure out where the man was.

He saw them.

Two men.

One Carrying another in his arms.

"There!" he yelled at Anderios who ordered that the men be stopped.

"Stop right there!" Someone yelled and they halted.

"I knew this would end up a terrible idea. We should never have come!" Evander hissed low in his throat as he watched men on horsebacks surrounds them. They didn't look like the kinds to make funny jokes. They were men that are out for business and they should never have brought themselves here.

First, they were found lurking around the Palace front and now they were headed back out in a haste with a dying man in hand.

They do look rather suspicious to anyone who cared enough to look at them for longer than three seconds.

Gouria was the first to reach them.

He hasn't seen Damon before but the pull was as strong as the one he felt for his lover.

He neared the man that carried him and smiled warmly at Evander.

The man did not return his smile as he was terrified.

Gouria might not be a warrior but he has a beautiful body, but it wasn't his body only that intimidated Evander, no, far from it.

It was the other man that stood behind him.

His dark eyes burning into those of Evander's and for the first time in his life, he felt weak to the knees for another man.

"Damon!" Anderios laughed and in one swift motion took the man away from Evander's arms. "My beautiful boy!" he cried.

Damon peered his eyes opened and what he saw gladdened his heart beyond words.

"Anderios!" he cried and a few tears ran down his beautiful face.

"Yes...yes....yes, you remembered!" Anderios pressed his lips into those of the younger boy and kissed him for all he's worth.

Damon hung onto him and willingly let him ravish his mouth whichever way he pleases.

"Come, lover, let me take you home!" Anderios whispered and carried the man back the way they had come.

"Well, shall we?" Gouria asked the other two men but stopped when he caught sight of Erin. "Elena?" he asked.

"You know her?" Erin asked.

"If she were a man, she would look exactly like you!" Gouria told him.

"She's my twin sister!" Erin cried and fell into Gouria's arms.

"Oh for Pete's sake, how much more secrets have you two been hiding from me?!" Evander yelled not the slightest pleased right now.

He looked rather foolish been here.

"I will tell you everything." Erin smiled at the man. "Please take me to my sister!" he requested and Gouria led them back to the palace.

Gouria had heard about Elena's lost brother, whom she had thought is long dead and gone.

He just could not help but wonder what her reaction would be if she saw him again.

***********

Xrysos raised his head when he heard the doors to the throne room bust open.

He smiled when he saw Anderios walked in but frowned when he saw he carried someone in his arms.

Xrysos worried as he thought it was Gouria. He gently came down from the throne and stood there watching Anderios who was still standing right there at the doors.

"He's right there. I'm going to put you down now." Anderios whispered into Damon's ears.

Damon didn't know how he should feel.

His emotions going wild inside of him as Anderios gently let him down.

He was facing him and after Anderios had kissed him on the lips, he turned him around and both Damon and Xrysos gasped the moment their eyes met and Anderios wore a smile so wide it could light up a room.

Tears ran down Damon's face as Xrysos approached him.

The King reached him and very calmly assessed him over. Checking to see if it was truly him who stood before him and to be certain he was alright.

"Mon!" that one word.

That cursed one word.

Damon lost his footings and fell. He was caught in Xrysos strong embrace before he collapsed completely to the grounds.

"My beautiful Mon!" Xrysos claimed his lips as intensely as Anderios had done before.

Xrysos carried him in his arms, lips locked together as he made his way into his chambers.

He pulled out his lips long enough to call the meeting over and reattached his lips to those of the younger boy immediately.

******

Anderios heard the doors open again and Gouria walked in with the other two men.

"Meet Evander and Erin!" Gouria introduced. He had learned their names and many more about both men as they journeyed back to the palace.

"Erin?" Anderios asked while looking at the man. "Looks so much like Elena!" Anderios whispered as he ran his hand in the boy's curly gold hair. "Just like Elena's." he breathed out.

"That is because he is her lost twin, stupid!" Gouria laughed as Anderios mouth fell open in shock.

Even Evander laughed seeing his expressions.

He was falling for the man hard.

His heart was skipping too fast in his chest.

"I knew you're still alive!" Anderios told Erin. "Do you taste like her?" he asked the shocked man.

While Erin's eyes fought a failing battle at Staying opened. Anderios had kissed his lips.

"Just like her!" he whispered after he pulled out of the kiss. "Come!" he pulled him towards Elena's chambers.

Gouria and Evander right behind them.

******

When Erin found himself standing face to face with his sister, he could not help but feel like that weak, sick child from long ago.

He fell into her arms and had cried like a baby.

Elena didn't need help from the gods for her to know who it was she gripped in her arms.

"I have missed you, sister!" Erin cried.

"Me too!" Elena spoke softly.

"How did you end up this way?" he asked, looking around the room.

"Long story short, I bore the King a son!" Elena smiled with tear-filled eyes.

"You whore!" Erin teased jokingly. "You're so lucky!" he laughed.

"No, Gouria is Lucky!" Elena jokes.

"What?" Erin didn't catch on.

"I'm the wish maker." Gouria laughed and when Erin understood his meaning, he joined in on their laughter feast.

"You have been staring at me for a while now. Is there something you would like to share with me?" Anderios asked to the surprise of Evander.

"N-No." the younger boy whispered.

"I think you lie to me!" Anderios pulled his face up by the chin.

Breathings heavy, mouth a bit opened, Evander blinked back tears.

"Come with me!" Anderios led him out of the room.

Gouria right behind them.
