“Ah….”

Livia looked down at the sea beneath that wrapped around her waist. The ocean, beautiful at first glance, was so deep that one couldn’t tell what lay submerged below.

While the imperceptible depths were frightening to human eyes, that wasn’t the only emotion she felt. After all, not everything unknown had to be negative….

As she gazed quietly for a while, she could see light somewhere in those deep, dark depths. The brilliant silver light was like a lamp carved from moonlight, beautiful like the shimmer of sunlight reflecting off the water.

Perhaps, Triton… could you be waiting for me down there…?

Just as her body began to unconsciously lean toward the depths, Zagreus spoke.

“I wanted to keep meeting you. I was worried that you might not have received Demeter’s invitation. That you might not be able to find your way there properly. But no matter how many times I tried to enter your dreams, they just wouldn’t open.”

“Really? I didn’t know…. Ah! I think I’ll be able to go to the banquet. Don’t worry, Zagreus.”

“You can manage without my help? That’s a relief. But Livia, don’t you want to come out of the sea?”

His question sounded strange to her. It felt as if he was asking whether she had any intention of escaping from Triton’s grasp.

Livia looked back and forth between the sea she was immersed in and Zagreus above her with confused eyes.

“I….”

Before the hesitating Livia could give any answer, Zagreus hastily flapped his wings and approached her. The shadow of his large eagle wings completely covered Livia.

“No, Livia, you don’t have to answer. I think you should get out of there quickly.”

“What happens… if I leave like this?”

“Your physical body will remain in the sea while your soul comes with me. It was difficult until now because ‘his’ power was too close, but today it might be possible. So let’s hurry. Okay?”

“…Just my soul goes?”

“Don’t worry. The river of forgetfulness will wash away your concerns. You can forget all the complicated and difficult things. If you just forget, you’ll be at ease.”

His words about being at ease sounded incredibly appealing.

…Could it be? Would it be possible? If I could forget, could everything be undone?

“Let’s go see your younger sibling. You’re worried about them, aren’t you? What about your brother? You’ve heard that he became Charon’s ferryman, right? I’ll help you find his boat.”

Zagreus whispered enticingly as he extended his hand before Livia’s eyes. With his back to the sun, his darkly shadowed face couldn’t hide his urgency.

“Everyone you miss is there, Livia. Come with me. We can think about the consequences later.”

Lete, Iason….

The reason she started her revenge. The only ones who were warm and gentle in her desolate life. Her family whom she still desperately missed.

She wanted to see them so badly it made her heart ache. It was so frustrating and sad that she couldn’t even say goodbye before parting.

If possible, she wanted to greet them even for just a moment. She needed to thank them for taking in someone like her as family out of pity….

She wanted to tell them how much their sweet kindness had warmly embraced her, and that what they gave her was the only thing she ever needed… She should have told them that….

She felt so sorry that she couldn’t protect those who had protected her childhood. Foolishly, out of embarrassment, she had never even properly expressed her feelings to them.

Because of that carelessness, thinking this peaceful happiness would last forever….

So she wanted to meet them just one more time.

She wanted to finally deliver those greetings she had kept postponing, saying she was too shy and embarrassed throughout her life.

‘If I take this hand, could I meet them? If I follow this man….’

As Livia stared blankly at Zagreus’s outstretched hand, her eyes filled with misty moisture.

The thought of Triton in the sea was pushed aside by the hope of meeting her family whom she thought she would never see again.

“Really, can I meet them?”

“Of course, Livia. If you follow me now, I’ll make sure you meet them.”

His resolute whisper seemed quite reliable. As if enchanted, Livia slowly raised her hand.

Before she could rationally comprehend what it meant to abandon her body and let her soul depart, Livia’s hand moved toward his palm. Just before his large hand could grasp her small one,

“……!”

A massive silver shark burst up from the sea, snatched her waist in an instant, and dragged her into the ocean.

“No! Livia!”

Zagreus’s voice, screaming her name like a shriek, penetrated her water-filled ears dully. Livia’s consciousness was pulled into the dark, deep abyss, frightening in its unknown depths.

***

What awakened her before consciousness was a sensation that rose with piercing sensitivity.

“Uh….”

A soaking wet tongue deeply licked up between her neatly closed folds. An eerie, strange sensation diligently hammered at her sleeping consciousness.

Livia twisted her waist, trying to close her trembling thighs, but her caught legs only spread wider.

“Ah… Huh….”

As her shyly parted flesh revealed a round bud, plump lips sucked it in without hesitation.

Unlike Livia’s burning hot core, the tongue licking and sucking her wet flesh was chillingly damp, making the sensation even more vivid.

Tsk, Chup, Chup….

The sounds of wet flesh tangling and sucking echoed clearly, producing a horrifyingly lewd sound.

“Hah, uh…!”

Livia, who had been bucking her hips, gasped, unable to hold back her moan. Her hazy consciousness fully returned, but she couldn’t tell if she was in her right mind or not.

Waking up from sleep with her legs wide open and her lower body being sucked. Far from waking up from a dream, it felt like she was being tormented by another ridiculous dream.

She definitely dreamt of Zagreus….

Her heavy eyelids still drooped as she stared blankly at the man positioned between her legs. A voice, suppressed to hold back a moan, whispered his name in disbelief.

“…Triton?”

Am I having another dream? He hasn’t come back yet….

Her drowsy mind, as if unable to accept the sight before her, spun slowly.

However, the moment Triton, who had raised his head at Livia’s call, met her eyes without a moment’s hesitation and stimulated her by licking her core, everything became clear.

Livia, her eyes wide open, hurriedly let out a moan and pushed his shoulder away.

“What are you doing… Haaah!”

“Shh.”

Triton, his gaze fixed on Livia, whispered softly as if to soothe her, and his broadly extended tongue dug and burrowed into her trembling flesh.

“Huk! W-why suddenly… Uh…!”

Startled, Livia twitched her hips as if to shake him off, but Triton was unmoved. No, he even firmly lifted her hips and buried his face in.

“My female smells of another male.”

His gaze still fixed on her face, he murmured incomprehensible words, his tongue darting. The cool tip of his tongue stimulated her cl*t repeatedly, and a tingling sensation began to heat up Livia’s lower body.

“What are you, talking…. Hah!”

“What kind of beast’s scent is this?”

“I don’t, I don’t know what you’re, talking… Eung, Hngh!”

His firmly planted tongue dug deep, exploring every corner of Livia’s flesh, and swirled.

At first, as if searching for something as he had said, it fumbled about, but at some point, it began to indulge in licking and sucking, as if intoxicated by the taste of her supple flesh.

Squish, squish…

The explicit sounds of wet flesh colliding and rubbing against each other erupted incessantly from between Livia’s legs.

Livia tried to stop him by wriggling her caught hips, but he was not a man to listen.

This beautiful and shameless god unhesitatingly rubbed her cl*t with the tip of his nose and sucked between her fluttering hole with a sound as if he were kissing it.

“Haahh… Uh, ugh…!”

At his sucking so powerfully that his cheeks seemed to cave in, Livia felt a fainting ecstasy and lifted her head. A delirious moan escaped her parted lips incessantly, but she had no time to care.

“Ugh! Haa… Tr-Triton! Stop, Hah! Ah, uh. Aah!”

The moment his swirling tongue stabbed deeply somewhere inside her, her mind went blank and her captured lower body trembled.

As the familiar feeling of climax approached, Livia took a deep breath, preparing for the oncoming pleasure. However, it was not the kind of sensation she could dare to endure, so no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hold back her scream-like moans.

“Tr-iton…! Heuk! Hngh!”

Along with tears, her fluids spurted from between her folds, which Triton’s tongue had meticulously licked and kneaded. She could feel the w*tness trickling down her b*ttocks and spine.

Livia, who had barely opened her flushed eyes to look down at him, flinched. He was staring at her with intense eyes, as if he hadn’t taken his eyes off her for a single moment.

“…Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be leaking from here.”

Triton, who had been staring at Livia for a while, muttered, licking his wet lips with his tongue. Then, he closed his mouth over her flower, which was soaked red like a ripe persimmon, with a soft sound. Carefully lowering Livia’s limp lower body, he laid himself on top of her and met her gaze.

“Then….”

He sucked on Livia’s parted lips, kissing her chin, cheeks, earlobes, and finally whispered, his lips resting on her forehead.

“It’s here. Isn’t it, Livia?”

His lips, brushing against her cheek, added in a lower, darker voice.

“…The place that damned eagle bastard messed with.”
