My mind is a maelstrom of conflicting thoughts. This can’t be real, but I am looking right at it. I know I’m not asleep so it’s not a dream. A glance behind me reveals David just standing there, eyes wide and mouth gaping. He’s as dumbfounded as I am. Again, I look at Pharone, undulating and wavering as the currents and eddies push and pull at her lovely body. I have to know. Curiosity has powered my mind for as long as I can remember but I have never been this curious about anything before in my life. With that thought in mind, I do something I have never done before, begin to undress in public, well as public as the beach and its single spectator could be considered. As Pharone did, I turn to throw my clothes to David and I do notice, his eyes are on me and for the briefest of moments, I feel exposed, vulnerable and dare I say it, judging by the expression on his face, desirable. Steeling myself, I turn to face the vertical wall of water, then hesitantly at first, reach out with one hand and then the other to dip both into this inconceivable wall of liquid. Before I can react, it feels like both hands are grasped and with a splash, I’m dragged into the surface then spun around and a scream comes unbidden from my mouth, not from fear, but surprise.
I feel like I’m just floating in a pool or the ocean at first. My initial thought is that I’m not sinking even though I’m making no effort to prevent it like I normally have to. I become aware of gentle pressure pushing up at me, like standing in the shallows when the breakers roll up the beach then flow back past your feet. It’s actually rather pleasant. I can feel the gentle pressure of the water under my arms, on the soles of my feet, between my legs and even under my breasts. The pressure slowly changes in form and substance. it feels like waves now, rolling up my body in relaxing regularity. The sensation continues to change; now it’s faster, like ripples and I can feel it in every part of my skin. Then it’s pulsating, like someone tapping you on the shoulder but all over simultaneously. My breasts are rippling in time now and I become aware it’s now stimulating my vagina. It’s an odd sensation and I start to squeeze my legs together but to my surprise, the water surges hard against my thighs and calves, resisting my efforts. Then the feeling again evolves and it feels like hands, caressing me, but a hundred hands and no part of my body is excluded. The pulsing is tapping my clitoris and regardless how odd it feels, I’m becoming aroused.
This can’t be happening, my mind informs me but the body is arguing the point. Then with a gasp, I have the sensation that a man’s penis is probing the entrance to my womb and when I force both hands down to stop it, there is nothing to feel but water. I don’t know what to do. My breasts are being pressured, waves and ripples and even quivering against my nipples. Waves of pressure are undulating up and down my back, my sides, legs, arms, even the soles of my feet. The feel of a thick solid penis is driving into me and causing me to gasp in time with its thrusting. I strain to turn my head and there’s Pharone, apparently limp in the water and in the blurred vision through the water surrounding her, she has surrendered herself to the same sensual onslaught that is tearing at my resolve. Whatever is causing this is irresistible and no matter how I try to protect myself, the water just flows around my hands and between my fingers. Then I just give up fighting it. The feeling is incredible and I just do as Pharone has done, give in to the surging demands of this briny presence. What even is assailing me, there is obviously intelligence behind it and was it a man doing it; I’d believe he was an extremely experienced lover.
Before I know it, a clitoral orgasm rocks my consciousness and as its exploding in my head, the penis-like feeling driving into my vagina seems to grow even bigger and this time, the climax begins deep inside me and drives me to quivering rigidity. When next I am aware, it’s the feel of wet sand on my back and low waves, rolling past me and then I am aware, someone is holding my hand. I turn my head to see Pharone also lying in the shallows on her back and it’s her holding my hand. She looks like I feel, stunned, spent and limp, moving gently only because of the waves are washing up past us then retreating back to the ocean, moving our limbs. Something drips on my face and when I look up to see what it is, there’s a column of water that rises from the shallows and in a long graceful arc, terminates just above my face, defying gravity. I must tense because I feel Pharone’s hold of my hand tighten in return and to my utter surprise, on the end of this column hovering just above me, a face forms on the surface of the water. It’s a man’s face, stern-looking, with what appears to be a long flowing beard, bushy eyebrows over piercing eyes that are looking right into my eyes. Pharone releases her grip on my hand, raises her fingers and inserts them into this amazing phenomenon.
“Poseidon calls you, the girl with armour within,” Pharone mentions and where I can tear my gaze away from trying to fathom this incredible sight, she’s smiling at me. I’m speechless with surprise. “I assume he knows about your metal chassis, Dayna. Poseidon is puzzled because apparently, you can’t hear his words. Try putting your hand into the water as I am doing.” Hesitantly at first, I comply but all that happens is that I feel like I have my hand immersed in water. “Nothing,” she asks. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be doing but all I can hear is her talking. “He is calling you, my child. Can’t you hear him?”
“All I can hear is you, Pharone.” I mention.
“I assume he’s having the same issue with you I have. Your mind isn’t a human mind. I can’t see your thoughts and apparently, he can’t either.”
Suddenly, I’m aware my translator software has detected something in the water and the program is analysing it. A moment later, in my HUD, a word appears, child, then a moment later, given appears then there is nothing for a few seconds before the word call appears. “I am getting something, Pharone, just a couple of words.”
“He said, my child, you have given yourself freely and without reservation to me. From this day on, there exists a bond between us. You need just call my name and I will come to you.” The spent waves that have been rolling past us suddenly acquire bulk and purpose, enveloping me and the sensation resembles a cuddle or a hug, but it’s all over my body and I can feel it on every part of my skin. The urge is to return the gesture but all I can feel is the water but apparently, my gesture is not lost and the face on the column of water smiles at me before slowly and inexorably, it withdraws back to the ocean from where it began and is gone.
“I don’t know what to say, Pharone. The reality I have lived in my whole life has just frayed at the edges.”
“Are you satisfied with my proof,” Pharone asks as she sits up and looks me in the eyes.
For a long few moments, I’m running the sequence of events through my mind, again and again, looking for some plausible reason for what I have just experienced. That post-coital feeling I always experience after sex is there. My vagina can still feel the effects I can always feel after I’ve had a man within me. The canyon of water is unexplainable by every law of the world I know. The columns of water defy description. The lingering few words the translator seemed to have plucked out of nowhere remain. There is no logical explanation for any of it. The scientist that I am has always given respect to the Christian faith, not so much the belief in the Christian God, but moreso, the wisdom in the Bible and the words of wisdom it offers. All religions are based on the same thing, faith. Until today, Poseidon was a myth, something the ancients believed in as a way to explain the world they inhabited. They didn’t know about microscopic organisms called viruses so when disease stuck, they only way they could explain it was to believe it was sent of the gods. They didn’t know about gravity and how the moon and sun created the tides. Solar radiation causes the weather, heating and cooling the lands. The only explanation they knew was attributed to being the work of the gods.
“I guess I am, Pharone. Try as I might, I can’t find a logical explanation for any of it.”
Pharone lurches to her feet and offers me both her hands. “Come, let’s go for a swim. I don’t know about you, but I have sand everywhere.”
“Is it safe to go back in the water? I mean, I’m not going to get ravished again, am I?”
“Only if you desire it,” Pharone winks at me and laughs. “Poseidon and I have come to an understanding about that.”
“What sort of understanding,” I am curious to know.
Simple version, he’s a God. Gods are in the habit of doing whatever their heart desires. Long ago, on a beach not unlike this one, he raped me. Not because he believed it was rape. He was just doing what gods do, taking what he desired and without consequence. His thoughts on the matter were that I should have felt honoured that he had given a human such a privilege as getting to experience the sensual arts of the gods. For a long time afterwards, I shunned him. I turned my back on him. How dare he do this to me? I had been loyal and faithful to every task and duty he wanted from me and he repays that by raping me? He could not see the problem. In time, he came to me, perplexed why I was avoiding him. We had a long talk about it with the result, if he wanted my respect to return, he had to offer me his. He now understands, that it’s every human woman’s right to decide to whom she gives herself. Any other way is a crime against human rights.”
