The grief at the loss of a child is overwhelming. It is devastating. It changes life itself. You can not ever have a happy time without wondering in your life , how that child would be, their smile, their hugs, the little grasp of the hand, the tickles and kissing the little footies. You miss the baby, podling smells. Sometimes in moments, you think your hearts will stop also. The length of time you have to wait , before seeing and joining that spirit again. To have to rely ,on your ancestors to meet that spirit. To bring it home, to your clan ;to be there and wait what seems an eternity to be together again. Ancestors are important. Who you are, where you come from , those lines and lineages are part of your essence , intelligence and being. Family isn’t always blood , it can be chosen too.

AS today’s full moon comes into volition, the StarPrime: chosen , cherished moonchild: Ellarya Sierra, has cast that those that have not kept their word will have their own blood lines go through all that they have set before her: 100 times over. It is simple, for the decree to be rectified NULL and VOID, simply: keep your word, before the coming of the next turn around the Sun of our Galaxy. At midnight ,of this realm and the fireworks sound off, the dragons will take to the skies. The Celestial Ladders will let off their cosmic dust and let it float down for the coming year. The decree will be passed into stone. Ellarya and her children and her blood – line and loved ones will be protected. ALWAYS. For the harm, put to Ellarya , she has passed this decree this night.

We go back in time, JJ and Jaida are now entering , the fifth year of their life cycle. Ellarya has moved into her own small place. She left Giovanni’s castle , she could not be there where they lost their son. Giovanni has departed the previous year, leaving Elle at work and taking care of all the little ones. Little Ricky was now approaching 3. He was a glorious little drakling and he just love bugging the life of the older two. JJ loved sneaking them into her room. She wasn’t supposed to have them there. She told her Mum they all had to keep warm.

Ellarya’s new place was a small holding. She had a few bedrooms. a large garden enclosed and magical. A fun place to be that was hers. NO one could take it from her. She was proud of her achievements and worked hard to put her grief of loosing their Ricky behind her. Giovanni was off working and with his ‘other’ family. Stefano had gone into hibernation working hard in his own musical lair.

Ellarya had to go to meetings at the other side of the realm for her Herebral Alchemy. She took flight and saw huge explosions around her. An invading dark force had come after her. No Guards. No Drakes. She was surrounded by a swarm of dark snakelets. They hummed and hummed her into a trance. The children were left in the care of the Eldar Drakes so were well protected and had care. Jade was in school. Ellarya started to fall from the sky, her wings were over heavy and could not work. She was not gliding and falling hard. As she fell, she heard the laughter and the vibe that came from Yra and Ary : one of dark unspeakable thoughts. Ellarya thought what is this ? I have taken such good care of you as requested. I have been dutiful and kind, I used my own resources to my own demise she thought. The laughter continued and the snakelets started to let out the poisoned droplets. They fell like rain and stained the ground. The purple grass went grey and black , as if they had been singed. Her mind was being blocked ,she could not cry out. The grief at the loss of her eldest son had incapacitated her. Dark Forces had felt that grief and played on it. The dark laughter of Yra and Ary , of pure hate went on and on and on and on. Faith was lost.

Ellarya cried tears and as they fell, the purple grass was restored. Elle would always love Steve. The singed patches repaired. Being of light, Elle’s tears could heal. Giovanni was nowhere near, to hear her cries or pleas for help. If he did , he ignored her, too busy to care or come. He never once reciprocated her care ,for Ary. He just took it for granted. Beloved and cherished Steve was at work. He could not be reached. Her Captain of the Guard: Parian was engaged in battlements further afield. Ellarya could not understand, he was always there. He helped her move into her new place. He helped her with gardening. He had been quite supportive of her and Giovanni , with the loss of Ricky.

Ellarya fell . She floated .She managed to float herself to the ground, instead of crash disintegration. The snakelets came. The humming intensified. Ellarya’s mind was being surrounded and they were trying to crush her thoughts , her connections. The flutter lanes started to vibrate and the winds picked up. The waves along the coast were crashing and rising. The ground began to shake , as the Snakelets batwings flapped.Rosedrop World was in an ‘uproar ‘ state of chaos. Ellarya was sinking. The laughter from Yra and ARY continued. Lightening and thunder struck. Stormy weather developed. Tears from the Celestial 7 were falling. Ellarya ‘s mind was connected to Giovanni through the darkness. He looked down at her and smiled and blew her a kiss: this is for loving Steve over me. This is for having JJ and loosing my son. This is for not being obedient to me in all things great and small. You are bound to me in darkness and this is where I am going to put you, in the ground. YOU KISSED ME WITH A LIE , he SCREAMED at her. A scream full of pain, anger and anguish. A SCREAM of both love and hate. She looked up and one tear fell and it flowed , creating a very thin purple line.

Giovanni so wrapped up in his own obsessional grief and needs about Ary, he had forgotten the basic needs of both his families. Ellarya blamed him for his “cockroach crush”; he blamed her for Steve. They were pretty evenly matched. Giovanni was trapped in his own obsessional thoughts , like a bear trap clapping down on him, holding him and binding him to the dark and closer to Elle .

Parian had been surrounded by dark wasps. He was fighting his way to Ellarya . tKOSS were being slaughtered by dark wasps and darker hornets. Parian looked at his forces being annihilated. He never lost, ever. The darkness was overwhelming. The light was being extinguished. The Grief at the loss of Richard Anthony was overwhelming and had placed a dark cloud over Rosedrop World. Little Ricky had no Ryder had to wait to be assigned. His Mums tried to comfort him. He spent a lot of time sitting with his siblings hoping one would emerge. He didn’t always want to be around the girls, Jaida and JJ. Parian looked down and saw the thin purple line. She’s alive and he felt her. He thought – that’s MY ‘new’ wife down there.

Ellarya was being buried alive and being stripped down second by second. She thought back on her life , knew she was dying. She looked and saw her ancestors through the Veil. She could see , hear and communicate with them. She saw her: BIG MA, Mahaghi, her grandmother standing there. “Betee” get up she said. Get up . Get up. You know how. I have shown you. Where is your light?Ellarya looked at Ma and thought, she didn’t have one. Mahaghi said ,” “shall I come over there and slap you ? Where is your light ? Where is your heart? There is someone who will pull you back, who is that ?”

Ellarya thought, there “he” was , that small little glimmer, that hidden piece of her heart. The snakelets had just about covered her and she was sinking deep into the earth, like a mountain of debt. She looked up and saw Parian fighting , slashing with his sword. He had transformed and the fight was now between elves and men ,as allies they fought , the trolls, the dark creatures of the night, that slash and maim. The dark smoke that transforms into multifaceted armoured dark soldiers. Parian fought, he called on the healers to bring back his forces to assist him. They worked with Elle’s remedies. She staged safety -net healing and protocols , just in case and what if anything happens. Well: IT WAS HAPPENING! Parian was an image of a strength, courage , a masculine figure. He fought for Ellarya ,with hearts and soul. His armour surrounded him. He was dripping with sweat and blood. She looked at him differently. She saw Parian as himself, not as her Captain of her Guard. She felt him with all his masculine traits. She saw his strong arms fighting for her. She felt that ” glimmer ” within her , she knew she had to get up for “him”, both of them, all of them. Her energy and light flowed. She found her life force that had bound her and healed her and helped and those feelings. Parian began to mingle, melt and merge within her. Parian had entered her heart.

Ellarya looked up and saw him fighting for her and her strength grew. She could not transform , she was still too heavy and the snakelets beating and humming had slowed her down. She looked down the connection of minds and saw him, saw them, right in front of her. The connection snapped and there they were, right in front of her. The pain was instantaneous , change came to her. She looked and saw Giovanni with Yra on his arm. She flew into a rage. Giovanni’s heart stopped. He did not think she would care ! He was wrong.

Elle saw Parian and called to him. She got up transformed and came up out of the ground : Horned Red, dripping with blood where her wings had been singed and her feathers were green and red and purple. She was so jealous that Yra was on Giovanni’s arm she decided she was going to take both their heads for this, but first she was going to cut off their arms. She called her chanting daggers with a sudden screech: “GET OFF HIM ” or “I will KILL YOU, this night” ,with magnetic force. She called for her Star-powered sword. SHE was transformed and everyone could see her rage and jealousy. Giovanni’s face dropped. Quite shocked. He didn’t think she would react like this. How absolutely “bloody fantastic” , he thought. So ,absolutely delighted she reacted the way she did. “What a woman”, he thought. “Crap “.NOW , I’ve really pissed her off! The changes in her wings, at least , he thought to himself-” the white” is gone, she was his and needed to reflect as such to everyone. She looked wonderful and so full of emotion for him. He was more than pleased. Actually, he was heart-broken, that he had caused her such pain and so , very , very pleased. Just look at how she reacted for him. HIM! In that moment, he forgave her for the loss of their son.

He took Yra off his arm. He stepped forward towards Ellarya . GIOVANNI stretched out his arms. He cried and rocked his arms, he dropped to his knees, with pure despair. He rose up, placed his head above Elle’s, just inches away from hers. His tears trickled down, Ellarya reached and wiped them away. Giovanni whispered ,” WHERE IS MY SON! Where is he? “.He grabbed his hand -fast wife, he pulled her close to him and kissed her. He bite down on her lip again to remind her. She cried out for him. He swung her around, almost as if they were in a dance again. He kissed her again, a deeper , longer sensual kiss , it delved and explored. He let her go and flew away. He left her , her lip slightly swollen and bleeding, she had a sword in each hand. Her wings had surrounded , Giovanni , after they wiped away his tears. She cried out tears of fury and extreme sadness, as he flew away. She could not believe how very much she loved him. They had been part of each other for so long. Tears flowed for their lost son, from both of them.

YRA was not completely forgotten. NO words for the grief ,at the loss of their eldest son. Yra retreated to find Ary fast. Just as well, Ellarya was heading for her, to cut off her arms then her head, with pure fury in her heart. Ellarya would have done just so, if she had caught her. SHE SCREAMED after her : I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU EVER TOUCH HIM AGAIN! She meant it. Giovanni heard that scream and burst into tears. He never thought she would react like that, it went along way to mending his broken heart. He went and checked on JJ , Jaida and little Ricky before he left. He checked on the remaining Dragon Eggs. They were all still alive.2 more sons , carved blood ,in stone. It was in the future, that pleased him greatly. He cuddled and kissed all the babies before he left. Things were calmer slightly. The vibrations of despair and anguish were subsiding. Ellarya must be calming down. Wasn’t she just magnificent when she was angry. For him, at him. He smiled and chuckled to himself at some of their escapades over the years. Can’t let her go , he thought. So, very delighted and happy , at how , she reacted for him.

The Snakelets humming had subsided. Parian and tKOSS were coming back, in force. Ellarya and Parian fought side by side. She had a sword in each hand , her wings lifted her and her tail was like flame thrower. Giovanni looked over at her from outside the Dragon’s Nest Cave ,saw she was in fit , fighting form and left. Tears for their eldest son, still flowing somewhat less, with the thought they still had two more sons to make together. He went and saw JJ , in her after school club , before his final departure.

Grief, the loss of their child had caused all this chaos and had split Giovanni and Ellarya , for the time being. Giovanni returned to his work, his other life. His son had died and he was promised at least two more sons, by Ellarya It was written in the stars by the Celestial 7, cast in blood stone. She was his hand -fast wife always through dark , not light and especially in sickness , times of strife, beyond life into death, their bonds would remain. They transcend time and space together : past , present and future. He was NEVER going to let her go. The depth of their grief was binding them tighter and closer. They were never far from each other’s thoughts. Blackened heart strings now joined them in their grief and had separated them. They lived apart, never to co-habit together again , in this lifetime…..maybe ????

The fighting eventually ended. The demands at the Herebral Alchemy Healing Centre were mounting, Elle was needed. Her healing self took her back to work , calmed and focused her mind. Parian and tKOSS kept coming with the wounded. Elle treated the badly wounded snakelets , in separate building. She helped everyone and anyone who needed her services without malice or prejudice. These kind acts would stand her in future battles. Elle helped heal the dark creatures and sent them back to Ary and Yra in the dark holds of the Dark Butterflairy Tree and the dark woods behind.

Parian would sit quietly out of sight , when off duty and watch Ellarya work. When on duty, everyone knew he was there to protect her. Days passed. The days became weeks. It was late one evening, Ellarya was due to inspect tKOSS Barracks. Parian had sent message to her this particular evening, they were ready for inspection. Ellarya arrived to find the Barracks were deserted. tKOSS was out on patrol, deliberately , on purpose. Parian had sent them away. They were alone. He was waiting for her. He watched her ,as she walked up and down the Barracks. He stood in the doorway of his quarters , then stepped back as she approached him. He sat on his bunk, pulled back the covers, inviting her to join him.

Starchild Sapphra was created this night, their daughter that would be Prime,she carried the next seed of the following generations Butterflairy Tree. The prophecy had been fulfilled , as Parian and Ellarya melted into one another.

Parian had pulled Ellarya out from the heap ,that Giovanni and the loss of Richard Anthony, had left her. He loved her and helped her to feel whole again. Parian had activated Ellarya ‘s next pregnancy , as Stefano predicted.

Lord Admiral Beaumont knew Parian , Captain of the Royal Guard of the Prime would stand up for Ellarya , his sworn duty, it was more than duty. They looked like they belonged together. Parian had lost his first wife , something that should not have happened. He had grown children. He worked hard and was diligent. He was not a social climber. He loved his work, he had that real killer instinct needed in his line of duty. He also had a very soft heart. Stefano could see they would come to trust each other and become a couple , long before anyone else . Yes, everything was falling into place. He could get back to work. Traces of the chaos were being extinguished by Parian’s Knights.

Steve’s Muffin was safe. He looked and reached out and felt deep within her hearts. Deeply embedded in Elle’s heart, was her love for him. He was the glimmer she felt. He smiled. He told her , keep my band hidden. I will always be with you.

The Season had arrived and as this full moon passed , the suns of our Rosedrop World rose, the Winter Solstice was on its way, the nights were long and dark. Ellarya and Parian spent them together.
