these dark waters - prologue



summary : the village of greyslew is in deep trouble- crop rotting , finding parts of dead lemurians ashore and not to mention the sudden death of their folk due to mysterious circumstances. being fishermen and pearl catchers, no fishes were getting caught in their nets and oysters they catch never bear any pearls. the godspousing ceremony, a tribute to the legendry lemurian sea god that ensures their abundance, is in shambles as all the girls selected by the village chief are being returned and rejected. but a divine vision lets them know that the only sacrifice the sea god wants is the secluded and feared necromancer that lives at the edge of the forest, with her peculiar coven. only because she is might be the key to mysterious deaths of the lemurians and the humans alike.
pairing : seagod!rafayel x necromancer!reader
genre: romance, muder mystery, arranged marriage/godspousing, reader is a necromancer
notes: i know i said i would upload the prolouge days before but irl stuff happened and caleb's myth came so i was busy guys, i am so sorry for the delay! also its not proofread or edited, so expect spelling and grammer mistakes! i have decided to invent my own terms and items for the story, so it won't follow canon lads story! likes, shares and comments are always appreciated.

reader's pov
"do you know this is the fifth body we found in the shore?" the panicked tone of the village head did not produce any reaction in me as i stood behind huge oak tree, in a such a way that obscured my entire frame. the wind blew in an ominous way and the tanginess of the salt hung in the air like an impending doom. well that's not too far from wrong since there was a decaying body lying on beach shore now, maggots making it's home around the left over entrails.
"chief, what can we do? the girls we sent for the godspousing ceremony are being returned to us by the sea. i think they are not happy with them. not to mention the villagers are spooked too, about the mounting of dead bodies" another man who was examining the maggot infested corpse spoke, as the chief wiped the beads of sweat away from his forehead, looking nauseous.
"i am sure that damn necromancer must have something to do with these dead bodies. she must have killed them for her own selfish purposes " hearing the chief say this, a small laugh escapes my throat. these villagers never change - blaming every single misfortune on me and my coven, as if i or my coven all had the time in the world to go and kill.
there was a pause on the conversation as the sound of the waves churning made those two go wide eyed with fear. the waves began to lull towards the shore in huge surge, as if it was seeking vengeance. the chief and his helper quickly began to mount the rotten corpse on the back of a wheeler. before they can go back to the village, i step out from the hiding spot, strutting towards them. they turn to my direction , their exhausted expression morphing into dread and disgust as soon as they lay their eyes on me. i offer them a dazzling smile in return.
"what a somber day, isn't it chief?" i say as i slowly move towards both of them. i could see them trying to wheel the dead body and leave the place as fast as they can but was staggering due to weight and fear. internally laughing, i stand there as i watch them struggle and leave the shore towards the village - a mere speck of grey and brown line near the beach. in spite 0f my nonchalant behavior just now, i am cautious about the sudden deaths too. i need to investigate more about what really is happening.
as soon as they are out of my sight, i turn back to the path from where i came, to return to the warmth of my coven. but something in the far wave catches my eye. no something lurking beneath the waves in the distance that is. before i notice what that thing is, a sense of dread creepes up along my spine. i could feel the hair on my skin raising up and drops of sweat appearing. the salty sea breeze blew over a feeling - a feeling of being watched. as if someone or something is waiting for me beneath those murky foam. my eyes scanned the surface of the dark blue-grey waters, and caught a pair of iridescent eyes flash in my direction, before sinking beneath the tumultuous waves.
as i hastily make back to my coven mansion, i realise one thing. the chief might be right - greyslew is in danger from something sinister lurking beneath those waters.

this is the third death i have seen in a span of two weeks. immortals like us scattered around , our bones crushed and flesh mutilated was a sight none of us could ever imagined we would lay our eyes on.
'i have to get to the bottom of this malignant murders before i lose anymore of my people.' i think to myself as i clutch the worn out paper in my hands, the one that came like a lending hand from the universe itself. a page from an encyclopedia from the looks of it. i found this coincidentally in front of my yard this morning.
NECROMANCER - MYSTERIOUS PEOPLE WHO CAN SPEAK WITH THE DEAD AND EVEN RISE THEM
the title of the page suddenly struck a chord in me as soon as i saw it ,an hour ago. if a necromancer can speak with the dead, then surely these grisly murders can be solved. or at the very least some clues would come into light.
finding a necromancer is not tough job, since i have heard about rumors from the human village of some girl being accused and sent to outskirts of the town to live due to her being a necromancer. but how to bring that girl here? it would be blasphemy if i kidnap a human. so what should i do?
suddenly a brilliant idea began to form in my head, an idea that would bring that necromancer to Lemuria without any difficulty. I race to find Merith, my friend and owner of the apothecary, my heart high with hope for the first time in a while.
"Merith, i need the Dreamslider Vine you have" i say as i burst into his store.
Merith gives me a convoluated look before he searches for the plant among the tiny glass bottles on the shelf. "My dear man, why do you want it? And why do you have that crazed out look in your face?" he questions slyly as he hands me over the tiny blue vine I asked. A small smile spreads over my mouth as I examine the vine.
"I believe i found a solution"
i will try to upload the next part by next week, irl is really hectic guys! hope eveyone have an amazing day, stay safe & healthy!

The sound of songbirds chirping and whistling outside the room made her wake up from her slumber. The moment her eyes flutters open, she could see a silver of light filtering through the thick red velvet curtains, illuminating the room in such a way that took her breath away for a second. As the claws of sleep slowly loosened it's grip on her, she registered another fact. She is not alone and someone is right next to her, still clutched tightly by the embrace of sleep. The sleeping form next to her was exuding warmth and a sense of familiarity that made her heart beat a rhythm faster than it should.
Her employer. Her lover. Her Rafayel
Tousled lilac hair swept gently across his godly face, as he slept soundly. One of his hand was on top of hers- the hand that wiped away her tears of sadness, the hand that paints exquisite wonders and the hand she so loved. The fingers of the hands she so loved wound it's way around her fingers in such a way as if to assure she wouldn't leave him alone even while sleeping. She slowly turned to face him, his divine face now illuminated by the ever shifting morning light. The planes of his face was perfect, as if carved by gods, like the rest of him.
Raising her hands, she began to push his hair from his face. A miniscule movement - a small pout and a muttering- made her jerk her hands away from his face, afraid of waking him up. But he didn't wake up; he was still the beautiful pearl whom sleep very much wanted to keep in her shell for a little time longer. Chuckling to herself, she observes him for some time as they both lay peacefully on the bed, one wide awake and another still sleeping.
'Maybe I should make something for both of us to drink ' She thinks to herself as she heaves herself up to sit on the bed, the velvet fabric creasing in the process. As she readies herself to get up, a murmuring stops her. A faint strings of words, coupled with the movement beside her, made her turn back.
Rafayel was thrashing and turning in his sleep, his mouth moving to form some incorrigible words. Such a stark contrast to the peaceful form she witnessed some seconds ago. As she turned to comfort him, his hands suddenly caught hers, pressing it to his chest. A pulsating sensation began to vibrate through her hands as his heart hammers against his chest.
"Don't......"
Rafayel cries in a melancholic way in his sleep, his hands pressing hers even tighter against his chest. She doesn't withdraw her hands from his grip as he pulls her closer to him again.
"Don't go. Don't leave me alone....again" Rafayel mumble, this time more frantic.
Her heart spasms in pain as she hear his pleas. When your heart is connected and bound by the thread of fate, there is no way you can avoid feeling what your other half is feeling. And she feels what he feels - immeasurable sadness pulling at the strings of his heart. She clasps her free hand on his intertwined ones, feeling the perfect planes and mounts of his contour, wondering what was nightmare he was going through in the throes of sleep now. "No I am not going anywhere. I am here and will always be here, with you".
She looks up at him to kiss his forehead, only to see two pair of galaxies, with purple and pink swirling adorned by stars, staring up her. Even with groggy eyes, Rafayel's gaze softens, his expression morphing from sadness to glee when he sees her, a slight smile spreading across his face.
"Good morning sleepyhead. Did you have a troubled sleep? You were muttering and thrashing in your sleep" She whispers as she plays with the hair which was obstructing his forehead from view.
Rafayel stays quiet for a few seconds, his eyes just taking in the sight of the ethereal goddess that is in front of him, bathed in glorious morning light. He suddenly pulls her towards him, making her fall into his chest. " You could say that cutie. But it was after all a dream. A formless, transient entity. But I just know a way to make that horrible feeling disappear " Rafayel replies as his hands caress her cheeks.
A moment of silence passes between them, as nothing but the sounds of two hearts beating in synchronicity can be heard. His hands caress her cheeks, making her heart beat even more spasmodically.
"What will make your horrible feeling disappear?" She questions as she looks at him, moving even closer.
"You, my goddess" Rafayel pulls you even closer to him, his lips crashing against hers. Her senses plummet and time stops as his mouth slowly moves across hers in an adorning, worshipping way. It is as if thousand asteroids were shooting through across her bloodstreams and threatening to explode any moment. But she would not have traded this feeling for all the gold in the world, as Rafayel wrapped his hands around her in a way as to say she is the most precious pearl of his. And just like the mermaid that turned to foam, she melts into the ocean of his arms, drowning in love and adoration till they both ebb away in each other's affection.
all kind of feedbacks, likes and shares are appreciated!
