The Cruel Prince
Author by Natalie Ernison
The two husband and wife couples took care of the two bodies lying on the river bank, when they were in the river.
This man who had been helped had just woken up from a long period of unconsciousness.
“Where am I ..—” ahkk ... he suddenly realized that he was looking for something, but dizziness really tormented him.
“Are you aware young man?” said someone from the side he was lying all this time.
“Who?” the man who just realized this was very surprised and widened when he saw the figure in front of him.
“Thank goodness you're awake. We thought it would take a long time for you and your woman to come back to their senses..”
“You're not human? said the man.”
The man just smiled and said, “dress yourself in these clothes, then we will talk slowly.”

“We are a nation of elves.”
Elves are living creatures who have pointed ears and like to live in hidden places. In some fictional stories, elves are depicted as figures who have power.
“I'm Mr. Efis, and this is my wife Mrs. Eve ..” said the man who is an elf.
“Your woman will soon wake up,” said his wife, Mrs. The Eve.
“Oh, thank you Mr. Efis and Mrs. Eve, we are very indebted to you guys ..” said the man they had helped.
“What's your name young man?” asked Mrs. Eve.
“Me, Abed ... and ..---” Abed began to discuss everything that had happened and also Nathasya who was currently under treatment.
“Amazing, your followers are so loyal. Are they elves?” asked Mrs. Eve.
“They are supernatural beings, but have the same physical form as you...”
“Ohh good you survived, surely this is what you can do. We love to help humans, even though most of the humans are very ...” said Mr. Efis, the head of the house.
“Thank you very much sir, we are no longer possible to return to the human world ..” said Abed with a sad face.
“Stay here Abed.. and consider us your parents.” said Mr. Efis while patting Abed's shoulder.
“Thank you very much sir, and I really want to marry that woman ..” Abed looked at the place where Nathasya is currently lying.
“Is that woman very precious to you?” asked Mrs. Eve.
“Yeah, he's everything to me, and he's the reason I'm still alive..” Abed said as he walked over to where Nathasya was lying.
“I'm sorry, because of me, you live happily ..” Abed whispered beside the bed where Nathasya lay.
“You love him don't you?” said Mr. Efis while approaching Abed.
“Of course, I love her very much, even everything I will do for this woman ..” said Abed as he fell down beside the bed where Nathasya lay stiff.
“She can still wake up with the warmth of your own body.” said Mrs. Eve with a genuine smile.
“Is that true?” Abed immediately got up from his sledge.
“Well… you guys should warm each other up.”
“warming each other...” Abed still didn't really understand what Mrs. Eve, the elf princess.
“Yes Abed, using your own body,” said the two elf husband and wife couples, then Abed and Nathasya's body wrapped in leaves.
Abed suddenly remembered the ritual he had performed at this time. Nathasya corrected the same thing as this, namely not waking up from his unconsciousness.
“Master Efis, mistress Eve!!” Abed hastily the two elf pairs.
“What's wrong Abed?” said Mr. Ephis.
“I need a candle, and a chest made of the finest wood..---” Abed explained what the materials they needed meant.
“Fine, we will find a carpenter who can make the best chest for you…”
***
For days Abed continued to prepare his rituals, he prepared red candles although in a different shape than before. A chest is also available.
He lifted the naked body of Nathasya who was not clothed, he placed her into the crate earlier. Around the rim of the chest, Abed moved the candles earlier, all night and even day, Abed kept watch.
Argh ... hakkk ... ahkk ... Abed suddenly moaned and grimaced violently.
“Why at a time like this…!!!” Abed screamed, and made the elf couple rush to the room where Abed and Nathasya were staying.
“What is it?” Mr. second eye Efis and Mrs. Eve widened her eyes in surprise when she saw the change in Abed.
“Don't come near master!! ahkkk....” Abed began to change shape, and again his back let go of two pairs of wings and suffered more and more.
“What should we do?” The two couples ran to Abed, and tried all kinds of magic to heal Abed's pain.
Hakkk ... arghh .... ahhkkkk ... . Abed howled in pain, the open wings began to fall and the fall of his wings turned into invisible ashes.
Bhukkk ... Abed staggered, dripping fresh blood from his knees.
“What should we do?” Mrs. Eve.
“He is the complement of dark creatures and humans. After all we have to give fresh blood ..” said Mr. Efis while hurting
“No sir!! I will never like to drink the blood of innocents...” hakkkk ahhkkk ...
“Young man, have a drink... it's okay.. all is well..” Mr. Efis thrust out her injured wrist.
With tears in his eyes, Abed drank the blood of Mr. Ephis.
“Aren't I so disgusting!!” Abed asked, leaning against the side wall of Nathasya's chest.
“No young man, you have good reasons for that. Now let's get on with your work, we'll go find some groceries your lady can eat..”
Abed tried to calm his mind and got back up trying to approach Nathasya.
“I swear, from this second no one will succeed in hurting you again..” Abed whispered while holding Nathasya's face.
He began to strip off all the elf clothes he was wearing. He lifted Nathasya's body, she lay in the coffin. Nathasya's innocent body woke hers up.
Damn, something started to rebel and couldn't be tolerated anymore.
Abed tried to calm down, this wasn't the first time he tried to struggle with his instincts.
Slowly he lifted the innocent body onto the mattress in the simple room belonging to the elves.
He continued to hold Nathasya's innocent body, he also pulled the blanket that was provided. Now the atmosphere is getting colder, and Abed wraps his body with Nathasya in a blanket.
Wrapping and caressing Nathasya's soft body.
“Hurry up my lady, otherwise I will miss you very much ..” Abed finally fell asleep with his embrace on Nathasya.
------
“Husband, it looks like the human girl will soon wake up,” said Mrs. Eve.
“Yes my wife, because now the aura that emanates is quite warm ..”
~ ~ ~
Ah... “Abed!” Nathasya was surprised to find herself in Abed's arms, and moreover she was dressed.
Huhh.... Nathasya breathed a sigh of relief, and started smiling at Abed.
Slowly he turned around, and gently caressed Abed's face.
“Thank you for all your sacrifices ..” Nathasya thought.
“Have you cared enough for me?” said Abed as he opened it.
“You're awake!” Nathasya was very surprised, apparently Abed had already realized this.
Grepp...
Abed took Nathasya's hand, and kissed her cold hand.
“I love you very much ...” Abed kissed Nathasya's forehead very gently and carefully.
