There were wisps in the wind !

Only those who cared , could hear!

Julius TRS, had come into Rosedrop World.

He looked around the Village Green, found the barn where all the Seasonal Festivities took place.

He walked past the lake, the Mushroom and the Butterflairy Tree itself .

There on the tree was a Dragonflairy , watching him.

He looked into the waters and melted into them for a short spell.

When Julius came back out he was refreshed.

Ellarya let him stay at Kela Aheto, Stefano’s place. He took up residence there.

The Dragonflairy followed him there and watched him get settled.

Tristan was in fine form.

He flew out and changed into his King of the Gargoyle- self and found his Barracks, Ellarya was waiting for him ?

” Well “, She said.

He nodded and replied , ” He is settled, come here, I have missed you! He moved towards her and sat beside her and patted her tummy. She put his hands on his and leaned against his shoulder. They sat still, side by side, two friends , who remembered their Special moments together.

Silence lingered and as it so happened , they fell alseep side by side , as they had so many nights in the past.

Ellarya woke up, looked at him, smiled, a gentle kiss, and slipped a way from him. He was going to need his rest for their next adventure , together.

They all would.

She continued her explorations of her Home World.

She checked on all the children, grown up , involved in their lives, partners, friends , DRAGONS, and the baby Dragons now enjoying more and more adult privileges while all skills and knowledge developed.

She had to make sure all was in order. Giovanni was on his way. He was very , very angry with her, an extremely delightful sensation, gripped her , from him.

( if She missed him, She wasn’t about to admit it to him or anyone else, including herself!)

She found herself fluttering along to Stefano’s place, knocked and permission granted to enter. So, She did.

Ellarya looked around and saw that Julius had made himself at home.

The Hessian Carpet was there. it was still and quiescent. IT had a different sheen and aura to it. She could not put her finger on it. She looked through as She stepped on it to make sure it was solid and not water, which it could of course, change its properties in a flash.

She looked on the mantle , the Chinta Rose was in place.

The Music Cave/ Dungeon at the back of the Dwelling had been dusted off , and that is where Ellarya found Julius.

He had simply picked up where Stefano had left off , so, it seemed.

He smiled and said , “any thoughts , on how we are going to tackle this QUEST”?

“You know you have only a few weeks to meet the first task: Finding the Crown of Thorns” , Julius said without glancing at her , engrossed in his newest musical creation.

She looked , at him, and said, “I know where it is, we have to venture down to Hades world and bring Michael to us. He is the darkest of the Angeles , the Crown of Thorns , secrets and location, are with him”.

“How do you know” ?

She replied, ” I saw it” !

Julius stopped and said and looked up at her. ” You did ? Really you did ? You saw it , you know where it is ? Tell me “, he demanded suddenly.

She stepped a way and said ,” No, I won’t tell you ! I won’t tell you everything. Just in case “.

He came up got up from his perch on the Mushroom stool , he had been sitting on. The small gathering of forest creatures, stepped back and hid amongst the plants, the musical instrument, the small Oasis region at the back of the room , from which they came”.

He stepped up and behind Ellarya. He spread her wings and wrapped himself around her. He placed his head on her shoulders and whispered to her , in a dark sultry and very seductive voice, ” Why not ” ? As he tried to tempt and encourage her into his Arms, his blond wavy hair, flowing over her shoulders and down into the depths of her cleavage.

She waited and let him continue with his explorations and then, said , just as he was getting so very interested, Ellarya , as he continued to use all he had to explore her , as he tried to press into her, She said , ” Just in case, YOU BETRAY ME”!

With that, Julius was deflated. She stepped forward and said, ” Heston will be here soon. Tristan ,is my Guard, he is in charge. You need to report to him , soon. Otherwise, he will come looking for you, if he hasn’t already.

Julius, tossed his lovely blonde curls back and slipped a way from her , as , if nothing untoward had just happened. He went back to his creativity and answered her and said,” I will see him this evening at dinner , at your place ? will I not “?

She said , “dinner at mine ? You are trying… that’s a No”! “You are to report to his Barracks. He will speak to you and get you inducted into tKOSS”. Only then, can you come to me, you see if you betray me then, YOU DIE!” I will kill you, no member of my Guardian team is allowed to live if they betray me. And of course, I must induct you into my team, myself for you to take your Oath. Go to him. You have a lot of work to do! Dinner is at his Barracks with my Guard. “

Julius TRS, was intrigued. He was his own being. He was a Water Spirit. He had never been part of a team, let alone a fighting Gargoyle ! ” He had also heard , something about Bees…..He was wondering ” if he would get stung”!

But he wanted to be there with Ellarya and be part of the Quest. He thought about how , She already suspected betrayal from him. Did She know ? How could She?

She wasn’t that good?

Ellarya knew , from the start Julius TRS, would betray her at some stage. She just wasn’t quite sure when it was going to happen. He was a beautiful creature , with such skills.

Ellarya wanted those skills and She knew just how to get them.

She heard him playing. Like wisps in the wind , She let her spirit , warm and love touch his arm, his heart and his neck , as he played. She placed her light beside him. She would protect this one! His power, his skills his abilities were needed to gain, the Crown of Thorns.

Julius TRS wondered what being inducted into tKoss, entailed.

He looked over at her and smiled . He nodded affirmatively and said to her, ” as you wish, my Lady”.

Ellarya departed and left him creating with his musical genius. She had placed a Xyts Crystal Orb , a miniature one , beside the Chinta Rose.

Time stood still and Blind Love : hit her , for him. She could not place , the time or place that She had loved him. She just knew she had. It was along time ago, before her first Marriage to Gio.

She would have to go into trans, to remember, to find him, to remember why She loved him: Julius, TRS, ” HER ” : Transcendtal River Spirit.
