------------------

Every year the village of Koori would give sacrifices to their nature god to ensure a good and plentiful harvest that year. However, there was also a legend circulating around that when the bride of the nature god appears and is given, the people would no longer need to set apart a tenth of their crops as a sacrifice. The bride would be their ultimate gift to their nature god and will make sure that the land will always stay fertile.

Twenty years after the legend was told, a boy with green hair and amethyst eyes had been born. Out of all the young people, he was the only one who had such unusual hair and eye color. He had been named Feria, an exotic name to match the beauty and delicacy of his person. As he grew up, it seemed that he could attract the forces of nature to him, and it was then decided that on his eighteenth birthday, he would be their last sacrifice to their god. Feria naturally had no say in the matter. He didn't like the idea at all. In fact, he positively detested it. However, since he didn't want the village people to ostracize his family, he put up with it sadly. Everyday he had to memorize prayers and rituals that he would perform on the night of his eighteenth birthday. He was even taught how to pleasure physically, but he stayed a virgin lest the nature god would be angry.

"It is time," said the guardians of Feria on the night of his eighteenth birthday. There was a rumbling, a stir, that caused the sky to darken, the land to split and the heavy waves of the ocean to dance in a fickle fashion -- and the nature god appeared. A throne elevated from the split in the valley, where upon this figure sat, clad in black. The only portion of his face that could be seen were his eyes, red like the devil's. "Do you have what I desire? For which in exchange you will acquire fertile grounds in the masses?"

Noting the sudden change in the weather, Feria sighed and got up from his seat inside a tent. It was time. The nature god was calling for him already, and he must answer. Otherwise, his people would pay for angering a god. He was going to miss his family; however, it can't be helped, was the general thought running through his mind as he clad himself in orange and powder blue robes that reached his ankles. The jeweled sash was tied around his waist firmly, and servants did his hair and makeup. After an hour or so, a priest went to fetch him and lead him to the altar, where he was to be sacrificed.

"For your efforts, you will be rewarded," spoke the supreme being with assurance towards the small village before snapping his fingers to call upon his raven-winged stallion of obscurity, Odin, who materialized with a startling sound from his throat. From the descending fog of a darkened kind, he trotted, seizing the god's 'bride' on his back and sweeping fast into the split in the earth. The sovereign of nature smiled smugly, commanding his throne to do the same and travel back to his alternate universe. The weather above, in moments, reverted to their normal state after the dismissal of fog.

"Ah...where am I...?" The last thing the green-haired male remembered was seeing a strange descending fog that seized him, and everything went black. Now, where was he? Sitting up, he discovered he was on plush grass, and that the land seemed different here. Flowers of different varieties were in full bloom, butterflies and other animals co-existed with each other peacefully, and the scent of honey and sweet stuffs were all around him.

An unfamiliar weight fell beside Feria. Sitting beside him was the nature god, Aki, not as large as he once appeared for his was in a human state. "You're in my home now..." he murmured, his voice reaching deep accords.

"...Are you...the nature god?" Feria asked, his eyes wide in innocence. He had certainly expected a more terrifying creature.

Aki chuckled. "I am...I prefer the name Aki though." At the mortal creature he winked, settling in a more comfortable manner. "Do you like it here so far?"

"O-oh...I'm Feria, but you already know that..." he smiled a bit and blushed at the wink. "Well...I guess it's alright..."

"You'll like it much better soon..." Aki arched over to bestow Feria with a small kiss on the lips. "You're very beautiful..." He was a god and needn't waste his time in foreplay but get straight to the point, but as one to be of a benevolent and patient nature, as legend dictated, he would have no other way but to give his human lover the space he required.

"Oh...thank you..." Feria sighed at the kiss; it was sweet. "So...does this mean I'm immortal and stuff?" he chuckled a bit and plucked a fruit from one of the trees. He discovered that he was no longer wearing the robes he left home with, but now a sparkly dark green robe that seemed to wrap around his curves and flare out on the ground. Flowers in different pastel hues were painted on the dress, making them seem surreal.

"If you feed off any of these fruits, you shall become immortal...unless pierced directly through the stomach by the steel of an arrow," Aki informed his prince, taking his rightful position as his 'mate' and forming his slender yet, with taut muscles, strong arms about Feria. "It suits you well..." He complimented the gown, stealing a small bite of the exotic, rare fruit of an equally exotic scent.

"...You're coming on too strong," mumbled the green-haired boy with not a small amount of embarrassment. He took a bite of the other side of the fruit, smiling at the taste. It tasted quite different than the fruits he had at home. This one was firm yet soft and honeydew sweet. "Oh...what's your true form?"

"Well...My eyes are more keen, smoldering with a greater magnitude of carmine...every other sense sharper and much taller I am in height...Not to mention my unruly hair." He gave a light laugh before taking the form of a stallion, nuzzling the boy's cheek. "And of course, I can take form of certain creatures and still possess the same tune..."

"...That's scary..." Feria stated. "But while you're a horse, why don't you give me a ride around your domain?" Not giving Aki time to answer, the younger one hopped on his back and kissed the top of his head.

"As you wish." In the form of a horse he galloped to various luscious areas, confectioned with a myriad of groves, different bodies of water until he could no longer trail and lodged his heels at the foot of a lofty protuberance. Beneath the cliff lie the residency of lava and arrays of smoke. It was the passage which lead to Hades, he explained, and the House of the Dead.

"Oh...I wanna see..." Feria giggled, getting off the stallion and sitting at the edge of the lake that separated both worlds. "Could you turn back into a human? I want you to hold me..." he whispered, a blush on his cheeks. He really thought the nature god was something else. And it was true too.

"I'm afraid you cannot witness such a place..." He replicated Feria in his position above the sea of liquid fire after returning to the requested human state. "And are you not being quite straight-forward yourself?" He teased, pulling the fellow immortal into a warm embrace.

"Mmm...but I'm cold..." whined the former mortal. "Can you turn into a puppy? That'd be soo cute!" Feria couldn't help but giggle, relaxing further into the warm arms. He kept silent for a moment, before speaking up again. "How long have you been waiting for me?"

"I could~ but it's easier to keep you warm this way...hm?" He pulled Feria into his lap, brushing away his lovely locks of emerald to reveal a pale structured ear which the god put his lips to. "I've been waiting for you for aeons and aeons...Longer than time itself."

"Ah..." Feria gave a quick nod. He smiled at Aki, leaning in to press a chaste, innocent kiss on the other's lips. "So...do you eat meat?"

Aki let out a snicker, "Not usually, no...but if you ever have the craving for some, there is a grove of trees which bears fruit with the taste of meat - however unusual that may sound." He permitted his thumb to do the stroking of Feria's sloped, baby-soft cheek.

Feria pouted a bit. "Well, where can I get meat then?" he wasn't completely obsessed with meat, but he couldn't imagine eating fruits and vegetables for all eternity.

"Well...It is quiet dangerous but...just past those hills over there," He pointed past the rows of lava. "The sacrificing and feasting of animals is done in that small area." A small smoke could be noted, arranged in the center of three or four wooden huts and if one listened close enough, the fickle and crazed beating of deer-skinned drums. "If ever one plans to journey there, they mustn't be seen..."

"Isn't it part of your domain?" he inquired, his eyes following Aki's finger. There was indeed a smoke, perhaps coming from some sort of campfire. "Hmm...sounds interesting, though..."

Aki shook his head slowly. "My land is shared with other gods and goddesses, sorcerers and their people."

"Oh...that means I get to meet other people as well!" Feria declared happily. "But why are you sharing your land with them? Don't they have their own domains?"

"I would hate to create rivals in this environment of immortality. The land that I've given up has become the border of my domain, the beginning of other gods'." He kissed the ruby lips of Feria gently. "You should be cautious of these other people, my prince. Not all are friendly. In fact, most are territorial and dangerous."

"Oh...that doesn't sound very nice..." Feria mused, returning the kiss of his god lightly. "But tell me, don't they have their mates yet? Perhaps I can make friends, if they have human mates..."

"It's not all about mates, my love," chuckled Aki at his bride's enthusiasm. "The majority are simply servants for some powerful, higher being. Some, like the cluster of huts down yonder, are those who revolted and left their rulers to lead a primitive life in solitude. Such a small fraction as one percent can be dubbed the lovers or mates emptied into this land while the residual are spirits of the dead."

"I guess that means I won't have anyone else to talk to..." Feria bit his lip, squirming a bit on Aki's lap. "So...are there nights here? Or only endless day?" he had always been curious about that. Ever since he was a child, his mother would tell him tales of the land where the gods reside. It never failed to entertain him.

"You will have others to talk to...Do not fret." A warm smile radiated on Aki's visage as he pulled his mate closer. "Time is not an obstacle here as it is on Earth yet as a god, you may command the sun to set and the moon to rise in your own domain..." He twirled the curls about his fingers.

"I see...it's very interesting...ah, but I am tired of talking." He gazed at the other, his eyes pleading softly. "Won't you turn into a puppy for me? I want to play!"

Highly amused, Aki did as he was requested and as soon as he possessed the outline of the jumpy small mammal; he gave Feria's face a lick, the wagging of his tail incessant.

"Oh....so cuuuuuuuuute!" squealed the emeraled-hair one. Feria lifted the adorable little animal, kissing the top of his head and stroking his fur. "You're so adorable..."

The puppy seemed to smile a great deal, letting out suitable barks and "woof"'s in request that they play.

"Awwwwww...!" Feria giggled, standing up and racing the puppy around the gardens. After ten minutes, he finally got worn out and simply took the dog into his arms. For a moment, he seemed to forget that it was Aki he was talking to as he began relaying small details of his former life. "I used to have a lover...he was sweet..."

The puppy looked up with large, curious eyes, almost urging for Feria to continue. Aki wasn't about to scold his mate for having a lover in his previous life but it did anger him some for the one who is to be sacrificed to the nature god is not permitted to persue any sort of relationship before being sacrificed.

"I miss him..." Feria mumbled on, lost in his memories. "He was my first everything..."

The miniature ball of fur let out a sound of sadness resembling a whimper and hopped from Feria's grasp to trail the meadows, gradually returning to his human state. He, Aki, stopped to declare, "You've broken the rules of engagement. It would only be right for me to send you back," in a fierce tone that shook the clouds.

"....What?" Feria gasped, then suddenly remembered where he was and who he had been spilling his secrets to. "Oh, I...I..." he was speechless, to say the least. When the implications of the other's words sank into his mind and heart, he suddenly broke into sobs, crumpling on the ground.

Aki, with his back to Feria, snapped his fingers to beckon his steed, one different than before. Positioning himself on the beast, he outstretched his arm, calling Feria to his feet. "Let us go."

"No, please! Just kill me, but don't send me back! The village people will kill me!" Feria begged through his sobs.

"The dilemma is your own. I am not one to kill but to create. Now, if you will please," he gestured to horse, implying the other get on. "If you wish, I will distribute you to the woods, far away from your homeland."

"Fine. Take me there..." Feria whispered, tears still staining his lovely pale cheeks. He got up slowly and rode behind Aki, sniffling lightly. "You're so unfair. I don't care if you are a god, but you sure are a jerk."

"I would have given you all life had to offer if you would have only complied to the rules..."

"I did! And it's not as if I'm not a virgin...I just wanted a companion for awhile...is that so bad? And if you really love me, or want to, you'd accept me with all my past flaws..." Feria sighed, closing his eyes in defeat.

Aki held his breath, contemplating on the options before him. "If you would prefer your previous companion, I will have Corneus turn back time, another being sacrificed in your place, though I promise I could not love them any amount close to how much I love you... and by doing this, you will be capable of pursuing your relationship further with your...lover." He paused to clear the congestion of emotions. "Otherwise...you may stay with me."

"...I want to stay with you..." Feria had already seen a glimpse of how his life could be here, and his heart beat a little bit faster whenever he was around Aki. He embraced the god from behind, leaning his head against the back of his shoulder. "Onegai..."

Aki took one of the smaller, more delicate, hands into his own, stroking the flesh that seemed to melt beneath his touch. "Very well." He tried to hide his smile as he turned and lifted Feria into his arms and swept off the steed, the stunning horse of large stature hurrying away. He set the male with the astounding emerald-spun hair down in a bed of flowers, observing the flush of his cheeks with adoration.

"I haven't seen these before..." whispered the younger being as he fingered the flowers, the petals being crushed in his hands and releasing a scent, much like an aphrodisiac. Inhaling the scent, he could feel it spread down to his loins, making him tremble at the effect it had on his frail body.

The godly figure, hovering about with arms on either side of the beauty, swooped down to catch a kiss before the cease of convulsing. "Light of my life, fire of my loins...My sin, my soul." He breathed, reciting the verses of a poetic genius. His knees rested, lodged into the earth on either side of the beauty's slender, sparsely clothed legs.

"Aki..." Feria whimpered, returning the kiss and reveling in the romantic words spilling from the other's lips. His arms wound around his lover's figure, pulling him close as the knot of Feria's robe untied itself and revealed his body for further observation.

"How could a being, once mortal, be so charming I cannot peel my eyes away from the reveling sight..." sighed darker-haired male, prohibiting his mouth for leaving Feria's.

"Mm...perhaps because I was made for you..." answered Feria quite shyly.

Aki grinned at his lover's counter as the kiss lengthened to something more passionate.

"Uhnn...A-aki...!" Feria groaned, his body clinging to the god's. "Onegai..."

The other's member was erect, brushing violently at Aki's own clothed bulge, making the celestial one groan himself, rather loudly. "Please what...?" he breathed in a husky fashion, extracting his garments with the aide of Feria's fickle hands.

"Please take me..." Feria murmured with his own blush, drinking in Aki's naked body with his eyes and blushing even more. His lover was absolutely perfect. Going down further, a small stab of fear invaded his heart. How will that fit me? He thought with not a small amount of worry.

The god could read effortlessly the fright in his mate's eyes. "What is it?" He adorned the plush lips with a kiss. "You were made for me, right?....It'll fit." He appeared amused in both his smile and carmine gaze, brushing his strong grip down the sides of Feria until it reached a certain interval, stroking the meat of the boy's thighs and pushing the pair apart.

"Well, it's not funny!" Feria pouted, though small giggles did leave his own lips. "Mmmm..." he was enjoying the gentle touches, laying further back onto the bed of flowers. They were so soft.

"I take it you like this treatment?" The taller purred, no longer before taking up the aroused length of the other in his hands, working the wet muscle with expertise.

"Ah..." Feria threw his head back to give a particularly long moan, his chest heaving with heavy breaths. "Ooohh...please...!"

"Scream for me..." Tipping his head, Aki gave the leaking tip a flick of his tongue, a near loving stroke until devouring it whole.
