Lieutenant Shivrona Kharmarhan had her hands full. She was a Cobra Anamule: a Cobra Flairy. She had started life as a snakelet and within WHITE light, she studied and worked and became part of Aryc’s work force in her Jurs Prudence Keeper role. She was a keen and sleek and very athletic build, strong but tiny and petite. She had dark auburn hair, green- yellow eyes with a hint of purple and light cafe au lait complexion. So very athletic in her humanoid form ,able to wield spears, arrows and swords. She was keen in battle and defence classes and earned a position as part of tKOSS. She rose within the ranks and became Parian’s 2nd.

The swarms and dark creatures that came for YRA, fought hard to re- possess their Queen. Aryc needed her on her side. How else to over come Ellarya Prime and her heart. She never banked on Elle having children and told her off . Araswati actually, told her off for her 3 children. You aren’t supposed to have any , you are supposed to be here to “SERVE ME”, that’s your role. ( THAT STUPID FAT FRUMP ACTUALLY SAID THAT! and even more so THE STUPID BITCH BELIEVED IT! She thought of Elle as a SLAVE! This was her mentality! Elle ” WOKE ” Up with those words !She was more than SAD , this was “her friend’s attitude and thoughts. This was what all her hard work for them amounted too! Elle sat , listened and waited for more! one thing she knew STEVE was never of this mind set , ever, not any life, not any place ,not for any nanosecond in time. ) You won’t ever amount to anything . You are barely a “healer”! Scoffed, scorned , belittling , Elle at every turn. It was this day, Elle realized and started to see the Aryc for what it was : a simple lump of useless flesh. A bitter and brutal soul with her outer wrappings.

After the prophecy was made, the one telling Elle : you came back into my life and you are having children. You are not supposed to have anyone before me. Your commitment to me comes before motherhood. Ellarya responded only someone who wasn’t a mother would say such a thing. Ellarya retorted , more than appalled at Ary’s selfishness, “nothing comes before motherhood, only a mother would know that”. However,” I will always do my best to stand by you”. Loyalty works both ways, one would expect. As we know, not always. This is how lies, deceit and tragedy are born. The heartbreak within one’s heart and how to find the strength to get up and mend it. Hate doesn’t break a heart, only love does that. An Enemy can’t break your heart , only a “friend” can do that.

Pain and breakage of spirit with fracturing of a soul , is difficult to treat. No one wanted this for Yra. Darkness, pain and splinters the being, so ultimately, they too become what they are about: a being of solitude , loneliness , darkness ,so trapped within themselves, unable to break free. Ellarya did her best to help Dowager Araswati with her pain and burdens .Elle did it ,for all , who had asked her until that burden of pain and understanding became hers as well. WHITE Light within helped by her good actions. The “Duances ” that help keep balance in the world , being all the little things that count. One after another , after trust was given, deceit , lies and tragedy struck. Lying was more of a BETRAYAL, that belonged to Steve & Ary, or Hazel , or the newest name on the horizon: Moglah Majhi. Whatever, Aryc decided to all itself , herself, himself, their selves. Humph.

Deceit belonged to Giovanni and Gianni and tragedy struck from someone , Ellarya never saw it coming, not ever. It is many moons from this point in our story but her heart , finally broke.

Lt. Shivrona was a Cobra Flairy. She was of white light and in her flairy form she too had Butterflairy Wings but her body was that of a Snake. Shivrona’s body was of red , white and blue snake like corralled cobra -like pattern.Blue for Bravery, Red for Blood, White from her light within. During this particular fight, she was so ferocious in her fighting , her Cobra hood shone and paved the way. Her red hair standing out like a Medusa Headdress.She glimmered and shimmered with gold and silver threads. if you looked closely, you would see one dark, black spec. This spec was the one that every creature within the WHITE Light Rosedrop world had. The dark ones had white specs. They would either remain small or grow and develop. At any stage anyone ‘s light can change by thoughts and actions. UP to the individual to make it right. The white Scorpions were similar as were the Vampire Bats. They lined up soldier to soldier, like for like and fought. There was cross fighting and sharing of gifts and powers , when needed. The sharing of gifts was directed by Parian and Parian alone. This was his special power that he could utilize if ever needed. He had the ability to share powers within flairy anamules. Some would call out and on the ability to blend and connect in our make believe worlds .In this world, it was called Power Paired Sharing.

PPS was something that ARY despised. She hated and cursed anyone who had PPS and was distinctly biased against them. She kept her hatred words about PPS to herself , unless in Ellarya’s presence. Elle didn’t like it and reminded her that in her world, all the Anamules were equal, welcome and had a home. Ary would usually scoff at her about these ideals and proceed to give off a litany of reasons to support her biased opinion. Elle would listen and leave in tears. Ellarya despised any form of bigotry. She herself didn’t get or understand what it was. She loved all beings great and small. Moglah Majhi was a bigot and a racist and that was always unacceptable.

She would have to find her way to her home. Shake off the bad vibes and get on with her daily work at hand. She would think of Steve and remember her promise and believe everything he said and was , it would all be ok. The important thing was that He was ok and his request of her to keep ” Ary” safe was maintained. Ellarya did her utmost ,for Steve: above and beyond ,that simple call of friendship, faith and trust.

When fighting the silver and gold threads turned into swords, daggers and whips, flame throwers and whatever they needed. IF strong enough, the power of the fight would prevail as would the weapon of choice. The black spec was also a dagger. This dagger if used , would inflict pain and death that could not be brought back by a simple ” pull back” from beyond the veil , or pulling back and reversing the wheel of life in the sky. What was needed to reverse the power of the black spec dagger was NECROMANCY and dark blood spells: dark magic was needed. There was a way in white light , only very few knew this: Araswati was one of the specialists. She had passed this knowledge onto Elle. What Araswait , did not realize ,at the time, she had had also passed on the power , with the knowledge. Araswati by choice , had chosen to give up and pass , all her knowledge, gifts and the “power” of those gifts to Ellarya. Ellarya never asked for it. It was a gift and when the realization came to her, she kept those gifts , as Dhanya had instructed her to, so , many , many years before. Dhanya was wise and instructed the future Prime well.

Prime Ellarya Niccodemus would have to work hard and deep to access it. Elle would in the future use it to save Ary , herself. ELLE would save Ary with this knowledge which meant one thing: Ary was using the Sight Seeing tools, circles, gifts and spells to see what it was Ellarya would need to help her. She handed over to Elle, all the knowledge , gifts, privileges of post of Prime Supreme, thinking she had Elle , under her control .

Had Ary put a spell on her? Was she playing a black magic role? One could almost hum that tune if you did would black dark notes come out. Was it born of smoking ? Was it born of crime? of passion? of both? Time will tell you, as it has yet to pass at this stage in our story.

Lt. Shivrona was first and foremost part or Ary’s team before Parian. She held that special JPK abilities that bound her to the Khurghan, with that black spec, Ary was able to keep the bond , live and active. Shivrona always had a feeling it would cost her , her life. She would appeal to Lord Admiral Beaumont to intercede for her if needed. Ellarya would be the one to do the interceding. She went after Ary into the void to retrieve and save her. Perhaps that is why the knowledge was passed? Self preservation? Ary was delving more and more into the black arts and each visit , was worse for Ellarya than the last to THRC.

This battle raged on long after Parian had left , long after Sapphra and Sephra came into the world. The balance of power shifted with their arrival. The sprays of venom loaded flames , were dashed and cut down by tKOSS with their arrows, spears, swords and counterbalance flames that were of cold ice shafts that melted on contact and neutralised the venom and flames from the dark creatures. The sky had light up with multitude of explosions and fireworks. The dark creatures cut down and minimal casualties to our Young Lieutenant’s tKOSS force.

The battle was overcome and after visits to the GHS premises , Shivrona returned to the barracks. Her room was at the opposite end of the barracks from Parian. He had left her a message that she was too take up his quarters and be comfortable. She was to choose her own 2nd and start training them up. Thus Parian, moved up and trained up tKOSS. He aimed to ended up with a circle of 7 specially trained PJK with assassin abilities. All to protect his family and would be asked to bend a knee and swear loyalty and fealty to him. He explained that his service was sworn to the Prime , so their service through him was to the Prime Niccodemus and in her absence , her 2nd and dPrime YRA Niccodemus.

Parian knew that the PJK, were sworn to the Prime and the Kurghan, before him always, but fighting: he was to have full and complete obedience because without it the battle , hence the war could be lost. Parian, always a strong ,had the killer instinct , needed to be a protector and a warrior and a battler commander , a discrete strategist. Commander in Chief : Parian with Tristan Brandyn held the highest level post for any man in the Realm, bar Giovanni Niccodemus. Giovanni made sure he had one foot in all the camps , so , to speak. Wasn’t he just a a “super” man. Wasn’t he just !

Parian’s Lieutenant Kharmarhan had won the day, finally. She saluted her team and toasted them and as they sat down to a feast that was brought in by the villagers for them. They all sat and remembered the story about this guy named Stephen, who also passed from his world fighting for his beliefs too. They had fought for liberty, against oppression of any kind , for justice, freedom without prejudice they joined together this cohort of warriors and ate. They talked of their individual battles. Their joint and celebrated efforts to overcome and the feeling of happiness that two new little ones were amongst them. They had fought in waves for almost a week. They mourned their losses and prayed for the injured and less fortunate. They all sat and enjoyed what they came to also call: The Feast of Stephen.

They all remembered the story of Saint Stephen gave thanks in humbled gratitude and prayer. The Celestial 7 looked down and showered them with strength , wisdom and healing through the GHS. The new parents were exhausted. The little siblings all of them felt very big and grown up.

Turned out to be a wonderful St. Stephen’s Day.
