Giovanni was kind and loving to Ellarya , in the next months After the Battle of Mt. LilleyHIll , Stefano learned of it and cried. He had been working in his music den after Elle left, conjuring up some new sounds. Giovanni made no attempt to confront him directly. Giovanni had an audience and certain “je ne sais quoi ” about him that he was all for ” the little Guy” . Deep in Charity work and appearances. All of it ” true” . However , he had a hidden side of dark dealings which had to be cleaned up on a regular basis. This was done by the Durgha DowagerPrime, and this had started long before The Battle of Mt. LilleyHill.

Araswati was a Vagrant , she had no place to call a home. Very sad . A Reject so to speak in her younger days. Her parents and siblings, she didn’t get on with , so it was a ” feeling” of not being accepted and not belonging. She never quite fit in. Do any of us actually ? She had a good school, good home life growing up , but yet, that want , that need to travel. To explore, to get out in the world, perhaps to see if she belonged elsewhere? A certain craving of sorts. We all have them when we are young and feel we don’t quite fit and somewhere else may just be better. Perhaps, that inevitable search for the one who loves me ! She did have her secret life,the key to it all. She was very , very Wiccan!

She ran into her life with Stefano or it was told. Came into his company , at a young age. She ran off to escape her training in a dark sect of Wiccandom. She ran off with Stefano , returning sometime later, after much success and being established in her work in Artistry, Translation, Healing and JPK reports , like NDAs for Giovanni.. She remained hidden from the world and cleaned up everyone’s life errors, mostly Giovanni. Arswati was ,as we know ,did not want Ellarya to be with Giovanni, but never came clean ,as to why. Elle was discerning asked about his other family and alleged ” accounts of aggressive altercations during meetings, known to be a “hard nut” and” hurt feelings”, more than just emotion . She had heard about it all, in relationships Giovanni had had and one particular image of his other wife with a Governor of sorts , in the New Lands. Giovanni was a keen and astute businessman and he had anyone who had any disagreement with him sign N.D.As: Niccodemus Dedication Agreements. The NDAs basically were payoffs, to be silent and gave monetary reimbursement, for the ordeal that was endured and suffered. It was alleged by Araswati, long after they were married that she had to clear up an altercation for Gio. He was late coming back on one of his work/family trips and Elle was concerned . She asked Ary, if she could chase him up. She mentioned that he had gone out with an “acquaintance” ( “business” meeting”) and there was an accident. . The injured party had to have surgery and have her wings and antennae repaired. A NDA was issued and it was all hushed up. Ellarya asked what it was all about and Aryswati said that it is something he is working on and getting Management assistance ( anger management ,in fact ) Ellarya – did not get it or her , Ary about this, in the slightest. She thought it must be a business thing of sorts. Her Giovanni was not an enforcer of wickedness. She knew him his as a good soul. She dismissed the claim as , it being something less and an embellished altercation. She knew but didn’t know and love had turned a blind eye and one thing for certain, Allura did actually love her hand-fasted husband. NDAs that Gio had designed had a flaw, which meant they were only civil agreements that Araswati , as Prime, could keep under control. If ever ,the receivers of the NDAs got together and brought a Class Act against him, in the Rosedrop World this would be of a more neglectful nature and possibly criminally so, would have to go before the Higher Councils of the C7 and D7 combined. This was how it worked. Giovanni always made sure that NDA recipients were isolated and alone with no one to turn or so he thought. Local Regional Governors and of course, Araswati Prime’s 2nd could be approached for appeal, if wished, for lack of a better term. As Elle was the 2nd and hence a potential conflict of interest- Gio, figured he had all angles covered.

Giovanni still had his “business” and family trips that he had to go on and Ellarya was left to work, study and be Araswati’s 2nd, which was taking up more and more time. Her transfer of learning had slowed down to a sluggish snails pace and the demands on her and her finances were unyielding and the promise of support from the Family Dowry from the Beaumont expense account were never forthcoming. Stefano said it would all be sorted etc and he was a man of his word. Ellarya trusted him and their mothers’ words and kept on working very hard.

Stefano decided that in dreamscape , in their 7th EYE, he was going to meet up with Ellarya again. Whenever, Giovanni was away, he summoned Elle to him. They had a hidden affair that lasted many weeks beyond their first encounter. Elle was enraptured and enthralled ; Giovanni had another family. The truth is Elle was very sad in her marriage with Giovanni and was very disappointed in him and she had shared her unhappiness and disappointment with Steve. He reached out to her probably for the same reason. It was an affair but whatever , they were good friends and stood by each other as best they could.

Giovanni remained sweet and kind and loving and everything a good husband should be when he was around which was never long. His chambers were also on the 3rd floor opposite his wife’s. His rooms were elegant and opulent and indulgent. He was a Prince in his Tower , and a Lord of the New Lands ( where he had a palatial home at the base of the Amethyst mountains with his other family) treated, as such, in all his home (s.)

He would come home and beckon his hand -fast wife to his quarters and be one with her as husband and wife should be. He knew something was different and was furious, as he suspected what it was. Giovanni was made of the constellations of Gemini and Scorpio , hence his attributes. He had dual personality with a Scorpion’s sting and venom.

As Halloween’s Eve approached and the seasons changed, Giovanni decided it was time, to teach Allura her lesson. He had awoken the drakes with his temper during the Battle of Mt Lilley Hill and his plan for Ellarya was to take away her ability to enter dreamscape with Stefano. There was a way, It was dark. It was sinister and it was forbidden as very invasive, sexual and intimidating verging on full on assault. He decided that he was going to use dark magic to combine her with his dragon so that their 7th eyes would be connected. Every Drakonryder was connected to their Drake and its senses. It could see ,feel and engage all ther Drake’s senses, even taste. This would mean that Giovanni would be connected to Allura’s 7th Eye through his Alagron and also Mymsha. Mymsha and Alagron were already connected. Alagron had fathered Mymasha’s eggs for their children ,that were to be. So this had already taken place , as the eggs incubation time was years , sometimes hundreds of years and the eggs could lay dormant for centuries, summoned to hatch when the Ryder was came into being or summoned by that Spirit. A drake would only hatch for one ryder only and they would be attached for life and the subsequent circle of life.

Giovanni had decided to use wine and black magic to engage Ellarya and connect them. He would have to take the Drakes’ fluids and mix them in her drink. Once consumed and they engaged in being connected as man and wife, the connection would be complete and Giovanni would have insight into Elle’s 7th Eye. He could also enter her 7th eye and take part in her dreamscape life as he wished- still being her Lord and as far as he was concerned Master of his hand – fast wife in all things, in all places she had to obey him .He was not even going to let her escape him, in her mind- all of her dreamscape between her and Stefano , were deemed a betrayal- the deed, the thought ,the mind , whether it be body and soul or not.

This particular spell was best cast on Old Hallow’s Eve. IT also needed to take place, in the trunk of the Butterflairy Tree. Giovanni ‘s kindness and caring with his hand -fast wife was completely genuine and he enjoyed her completely , when he was back in their Tower. The events of their honeymoon, were not repeated. They both agreed it was too intense and Gio also had to devise a defense against Elle freezing him. He wanted her to turn because he had enjoyed the heat and fire she brought to him in her horned curved humanoid self.

Old Hallow’s Eve approached, Gio said to Ellarya ,that they needed time a way and that he wanted to take her on another honeymoon. There was one other time, the spell would work, in the wake of a New Full Blue Moon.

On this night, Gio decided he was not going to wait. He came home in a hidden and deepened fury unexpectedly and caught Elle in her sleep calling out for Steve. He entered her room and cooly kissed her wake , she responded thinking it was Steve ,as she awoke. Not sure , being half asleep if she had spoken, called for Steve; she smile and kissed her husband and welcomed him home.

He scooped her up in his arms and said come with me. He said lets fly. He flew her around and about the ChessterFields surrounding their home. The fields in lighter and darker Lilac colours laid out like a Chess Board, the different allocations and suburbs within each square, alegrabically assigned , as , Chess Board notation ,from their White Tower. The flowers were in bloom in the different terrains, gardens and all was calm.

Gio brought Ellarya down into the Butterflairy Tree Trunk front room through the back hidden entrance. He had everything ,as their honeymoon. Elle as she turned to tell him it was “HIS TURN” , Giovanni changed. He split into two as if, he were twins. He held her in the front and from behind and had his dragon come and taste her everywhere as he pushed and explored her in his dual form. He turned her around and inside out. He was about to stop and drip the wine onto her and have her sip it , when she cried out. Alagron had gone to far and was squeezing her neck to have her mouth open, she nearly passed out. The wine went down and Gio took his wife and connected with her in every way, to assure the spell worked. Alagron conjured up the ancient words , “una mecum , intra IIT , et esto animo meo” (be one with me , enter to the dark side and be with my mind). They were all one. (Tchaikovsky:Swan Lake , The Final Scene , played in her head and she could see them dancing, the one choreographed by Nureyev, it blended into JS Bach: Toccata and Fugue in d minor- those darker tones with its hint of a more sinister edge) Gio had not turned to ice, instead he had reversed it and Ellarya was the one petrified in ice and his fury with her as he entered her, and invaded her 7th eye and found her trysts with Stefano. He repaid her in kind for every betrayal. He forced Steve ,to not see, but feel her pain and anguish as he stayed with his wife all through the night- on and on and on and on. Alagron feeding her with his specialized blend of wine which had her intoxicated and more than co-operative with Giovanni bringing their pain and pleasure to new forbidden heights that Giovanni knew no one could bring about in her but him.

Mymsha was sitting and guarding her eggs. She could not assist. Shyvra, sat with Ary. Ary felt it was all justified and she was avenged for the betrayal she felt came from Ellarya . Araswati allowed the black magic to take place . IN agreement with Giovanni – they felt avenged. Ary was playing an interview of Steve’s and listening to his voice, it was the interview where NO MUSIC was playing , which says it all really.Steve had played this for Elle , when they first started seeing each other. He gave her his music and that made all the difference, because it came from him- himself!

Ellarya had tasted and been one with Alagron as well as her husband.He had it planned and he possessed the dragon’s eye and insight into his hand – fast wife’s mind.

Giovanni’s intention had every possibility of backfiring. HE was wrong.

Elle’s 7th Eye was now not her own .Giovanni figured he had access to all Elle’s secrets. Ellarya had already taken precautions,before this night. The question was who got up out of their bed earlier ? Giovanni or Ellarya Giovanni was quite sure he did. Ellarya let him think so, you see, Giovanni, mumbled in his sleep and had revealed all. Ellarya had taken an antidote from Mymsha before Alagron summoned,poured, connected and conjured them connected. She had felt intoxicated indeed and her horns and tail had sprouted – fire and ice prevailed between them- love and lust combined is more than a potent combination. They really didn’t need the wine between the pair of them when they both felt that way. Giovanni and his Gemini twinned self, Giulio ,were just the “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” versions of Giovanni that existed within him.

Ellarya had more control that evening, in the wake of the Blue Moon. Gio and Giulio would come to learn this , as would Alagron. Ellarya , was the one, who could see within Alagron’s and Gio’s and Guilio’s 7th Eye , not the other way around. Gio had made a fatal mistake in note waiting for Old Hallow’s Eve. IT was Ellarya , who had put into his head to rush their honeymoon, She was not asleep or in dreamscape with Steve when Gio came into her chambers the previous late afternoon. She was positioned and waiting for him. She had sensed the danger and was more in tune with his arrivals as soon as he was near. Steve was safely tucked away in his music den, oblivious to what was going to transpire. Elle always made sure as husband and wife they were completely alone, she maintained that marital privacy for Giovanni.

Ellarya could see within Alagron’s and Gio’s and Giulio’s 7th Eye directly. Gio was seeing a planted memory and nothing more. Stefano had felt and seen nothing, other than his connection with Elle had been temporarily suspended. He was worried for her and felt odd without her and that is why he wept. He missed his friend, his lover , who was more than a handful. She was comforting and a good ally. ( Stay with me , by Sam Smith was whispering in the background at Steve’s)) Ellarya had protected “her” Steve and done her best by him and kept her promise.

Ellarya had The Dragon’s 7th Eye. 2 Dragon’s :Alagron & Myrethe with all the abilities that came with it. Ellarya had gained power and control and told no one. ( the tune now playing in Ellarya’s head was Tchaikovsky Sleeping Beauty ;she saw the ballet in her head, one she had seen so many times as a child ).
