The Summer Solstice had passed.
Ellarya sat with Heston in his bedroom.
She had come up through the Oasis and caught him having a moment of pure musical indulgence.
He was playing for her. He had been waiting.
He swivelled around in his motions and smiled and played.
She came and placed Michaels Horns which She had unscrewed from his head, as he slept from the concoction of Bella Donna and camomile tea , She had brewed for him.
She placed it on the Oasis beach. She sat and pulled out the plugs that screwed and attached the horns to St. Michael’s head. His ” crowning ” glory. Within the tubes fell out the leaves and thorns of the Christ Crown. He had taken them when he had been cast down , once more , after the event. He was supposed to try and stop that pain , instead he let that man be a sacrifice for all. Pain was the remediation and re- birth and re- incarnation that he gave his life for ” our sins” .
How did you get it ? What happened to Julius and Stefano took Araswati?
She said finish your playing. Come let’s go to the dining table and I will replay and tell it all under the starry night for you.
I lied to him. I used love and I deceived him. I made him pay up. I fed him a lovely cup of tea. The biscuits were divinely made homemade buttery caramelized shortbread, a sin, in itself. I indulged his senses and lulled him into a sense of vulnerability and when he finally fell asleep, I took his crowning glory away from him.
I passed that challenge.
Come, Heston, what a delightful musical interlude. It is time to dine, for us , to enjoy one another . Celebrate this fine acheivement.
She looked at Heston and said, if it takes to Infinity, I will win back what is mine and what is owed to me.
Heston , looked at her , stopped playing, took her hand and floated down to his love and said, ” YOU” , NEVER LOOSE ….DO YOU “?
She replied, ” I always loose, I just know how to get up, I had too and that is how, I WIN, every time! I GET UP! I GET BACK UP! I GET BACK UP with My WINGS in the AIR and I FLY.
She placed the Crown of Thorns on the table, as a centre piece.
She cried. Heston let her cry.
They drank and ate.
” Tell me your story , Heston asked !
And so Ellarya went back to the very beginning and told him.
She told him: everything.
