After being teased by Eron, I ran to my room. I wasn't ready yet, but I'm certain Mother won't let this opportunity slip away; she is going to devour him. Eron never realized that after his arrival on the island, no more children were born. We, the Amazons, are not allowed to love a man; we can only have relations with him for the purpose of having children. And, for a reason I do not know, only women are born. Could it be some kind of curse?
Today I realized the forbidden love I feel for him. I've already had this conversation with my mother; she sees no problem if our relationship evolves from half-siblings to lovers. My mother has been arguing for years with the Amazons about Eron's fate. Then, a proposal came; she thought it was absurd at first, but the more she thought about it, the more certain she became of the idea. Eron will be our king, the last male demigod and, apparently, the most powerful. We want our daughters to be strong, and what better way to ensure that than a strong father?
In the beginning, I rejected the idea, but over time it started to make sense. I never liked the idea of sleeping with a man without love. Eron and I have a few more years before taking the throne. I want to see the world with him, but I've never had the courage to ask if he wants to accompany me. However, after today, I am sure they won't wait for him to take the throne. I see the desire, the lust. I have to be quick and talk to him, or I won't be able to confess my feelings and be his first woman, his queen.
