The Accacha Chronicles, a trilogy by Nicholas Lens

Part III: Amor Aeternus, Hymns of Love

Introduction

Love
mum of creation,
you generate love,
no way can your force be cured by herbs.

The god Flammarius/Aquarius makes love. He makes love to his wife the goddess Maramnan. His divine retinue, the dragonflies Lecka & Pecka and the epicenes Ismaïl, Stoycé and Luna-Serena are watching closely, with their mouths half open, holding their breath. Also Cypher watches, but not really showing himself. Luna-Serena is clearly the most excited. She wets her lips, and rubs her legs against each other with lazy moves.
Stoycé stares with his eyebrows high above their usual place. Ismaïl has this boyish smile and seems far away. Lecka & Pecka look at each other almost every five seconds, their eyes are wide open, while The Whisper Kid sleeps in a corner.
Maramnan lays down on her side. The goddess is half naked, nevertheless she looks queenly and doesn't lose one bit -even in this position- of her royal dignity and grandeur.
Flammarius/Aquarius makes majestic love to her with gentle kingly moves from behind. From time to time he removes locks from his face, hairlocks from his long white beard and curled hair.
Flammarius/Aquarius watches his privileged divine audience while he's doing what he's doing and says: "As we all know, we, the gods, couldn't care less about time. However, to kill some time, I was thinking of having some entertainment."
His listeners, this heavenly ragtag crew of gods, spontaneously nod in agreement. The Fire- and Watergod is perspiring as a result of his own physical excitement. Maybe his sweat, negligently dropping in the Galaxy, will cause a couple of new Milky Ways. "I was wondering," Flammarius/Aquarius says, "why do mortals behave so bizarrely and strangely when they have to deal with feelings of love?" He turns his back to his audience and continues to make love to Maramnan.
"Mmnn, yes, okay, that's fine," murmur the listening gods all together, "but what about the promised entertainment?"
Flammarius/Aquarius calms down and whispers confidentially: "Imagine that we're a bunch of ordinary people going through this love spell on a human level, and fantasize about it. Put yourself in their shoes and feel free to use and to imitate all possible sensations and feelings that humans experience daily: intense love, joy, deep sadness, self-pity, jealousy, fear etc... In other words: Let's have some fun!"

Almost everyone thinks it's a great idea.
Only the naughty Stoycé suppresses a yawn, again. But isn't he secretly happy as a sandboy as long as something happens?
The dragonflies Lecka & Pecka argue about the latest fashion on Earth and what to wear.
Cypher feels quite comfortable with all this love stuff and dresses himself in a three-piece dark fancy suit. He walks in front of a mirror while he watches himself closely, to examine his cool.
The lovely Luna-Serena dreams of getting back into the emotions of a female human being like she did in Flamma Flamma and Terra Terra. Not surprisingly a quick decision is made.
The princely Ismaïl looks really dismayed! This time it was really his turn to play a girl! Later on the boyish epicene is only too pleased to remain an androgyne, what he is and always will be.
The Whisper Kid sits in front of Lecka & Pecka, drawing a not very flattering portrait of the dragonflies.
The graceful Maramnan -who still cherishes the gods as if they were her own children- resolves to join them in this challenging but innocent pastime.

And Flammarius/Aquarius?
Once again Aquarius is amused to see how his suggestion gains a lot of support and giggles quietly. A little drop of his love-sweat escapes from the royal spot between his legs and rivers down on the fast approaching Earth. Flammarius/Aquarius doesn't realize that the drop from his restrained joy provokes a world love flood the likes of which mortals have never seen before.

Definitely, beyond all doubt, this must be Amor Aeternus, Hymns of Love.
