Ellarya is a very happy Mum with baby Sapphra now reaching about one and half of her age years. Jade was 5 and Jiery was 2.5 of their life years. Jiery was more or less part of the family and filled the gap of their lost son. The sparkly little drakes were 3: Jaida , Sephra and Little Ricky. Between them all they kept their parents all of them busy.

The elder drakes and a hard time with Little Ricky, he was an only boy drake and longed for his brothers to be born to join him At least once a week he would sneek into the Dragon’s Cave with the Nest and have a look. Yep – still asleep the two lightly coloured blue eggs but there were 4 there and they were all shades of blue. He used to look at them sleeping and sit with them . Rock them gently sometimes and sing to them and try to cajole them into joining him. He would nestle up and sleep with them. Dormant heartbeats. Mymsha had a special place in her heart for this lonesome little Sparkling. She summoned Giovanni to entice Orion into taking Ricky under his wing.

Giovanni being back on the scene, stayed in Devia’s Cave in his rooms there. He let the ” happy families” play happy families. Yra had had their daughter : Dhanya Loti being born of Lakshmi and her Blessings, the good and light side of Durga. Giovanni dwelled on his sons that they had not as yet been begotten. The promise and prophecy had been made. He had no idea how they were going to come into being. He had to be the one to activate and bring his sons into the light of being. NO one else could do this. This would also trigger two of the Dragon Eggs to start to develop. He was as far apart from Ellarya ,as they had ever been in his life. Always the best of friends, for that he was grateful. She always forgave him. He could always count on her.

Ellarya had developed into quite the Herebral Alchemist , having achieved her desired Specialist Level. Her GHS was going well and her private practice and flourished and finally gifted as her own. Yra worked there too. The babies were developing and growing and Mrs. Haiden and her cohort of approved Nannies , always at hand to see to the children’s needs. The Nannies had a way with the sparkling drakes having been taught and guided by Mymsha and Shyvra how to speak and guide them. All lessons being given through dreamscape. This way they could communicate in the same language within the 7th Eye connections.

The Circle of 7 that Parian had trained up as part of his special Force to protect his family and their surrounding lands of their Realm was finally complete. He dubbed them his Olympian 7 as they had some of the powers and gifts of Olympus combined, excluding Zeus. Lt. Shivrona had done a fine job with the training, assisting him. His team of 7 was made up of :

1. Lt. Shivrona Kharmarhan, Cobra White Light Flairy, JPK
2. Durghanna La Fraise , another White Light JPK, Queen Cobra Flairy,
3. Luis Voix , Cobra Flairy . JPK
4. Gregoire Illuminatus , another Scarab flairy, one of Stefano’s tribe
5. Jeryl Le Roux, Dragonflairy , part of Taylor’s Cohort of Musicians , Motorwing Driver
6. Antonio Trousseau, a scorpion flairy and one of Giovanni’s colleagues.
7. Devanndra Dominiquay , Butterflairy of the same tree from which Ellarya came. Ellarya and Devanndra were family!

Parian had them on separate higher training above what they did with tKOSS. His family including Yra and little Dhanya were included. Parian was comfortable in Giovanni’s old rooms. Ellarya moved back into her own rooms, there and gave Yra and Dhanya her home to use. She did this out of friendship and love. It was always understood the home remained Ellarya’s property , Yra was welcome there with Dhanya, always. There were no conditions put down bar that one had to be of white light to cross the threshold and reside there. If Yra went back dark, wards would prevent her from entering the property. Dhanya, being a child would be immediately warded to Ellarya , to take over her upbringing. Dhanya, however, did have to be instructed in both light and dark , so provisions were made within the property so support this. There was teaching without practice. For Practice , they had to return to the dTHRC and work there. Every quarter for two weeks of the that quarter , Yra and Dhanya went and resided in the dTHRC to keep those embers burning within them. For them , this was part of their being. They came out of the dark and part of their essence from this was needed to keep their life blood going and their breathe of life going. They both however, as part of balance did live in WHITE Light. Yra’s heart was now of white light and had darkened heart strings. They twanged every now and again , but nothing more. She was happy in her world with Ellarya, Parian and their children and Giovanni was a splendid partner. Yra had now stepped fully into Ellarya’s hand-fast wife roll. Yra was not bonded to Giovanni , only their child and mutual desires for one another kept them together. Ary didn’t like this at all, Giovanni loved her the most and it seemed he had found himself a replacement for her. IF Dyandra , only knew , who the TRUE , love of his life was: some imaginary fictitious frumpy artist , who just really doesn’t exist in the ” real” world , at all! Thankfully, for Dyandra, where would she be ,otherwise! She had him , in reality: the “perfect ” family picture. He kept the NDA’s hidden , from her too! (or did She always know ? )

Lord Admiral Stefano Beaumont had disappeared from their lives. Jade had not seen him. She felt him. She heard him. He never came and put his re-assuring arms around her and gave her a hug. All she gave to him, he NEVER came to her, not once

They all so it seemed , left that to the Moms.

The Diablo 7 started to buzz and hop and round. They had meetings , that brought about some foul weather. The Diablo Double Helix jangled , the Jai ladder . The Rain storms and winds came down with hail and sleet. The debris flashed down and spread out and about , as the frozen degenerate droplets cascaded down into Rosedrop World.

The Cobra’s Snake pit summoned 3 of Parian’s Olympian 7. The snakepit being part of the Dark Butterflairy Tree Realm. IT was seasonal breeding time and all the original Snakelets had to return to their birthing pits. Shivrona’s PIT was filled with the deepest darkest most venomous Cobras, Corale Snakes and Vipers. They lived and breeded with hate. Lustful and sinful enjoyment with full on gatherings of their clans that engaged in group ” training ” sessions.

It was that time of year , once a year this magical time of year that the Cobra Flaires needed to return to their pits to sustain their breathe of life. They had freedom of choice always to be of Light and White light, which as part of the Olympian 7 , had to be. Lt Shivrona had developed an “attachment ” :to Lord Admiral Beaumont . She had decided she was going displace Ary even further. As Ary’s JPK , Shivorona and Ary shared joint accounts and communications. Shivrona decided to gain favour with Steve. She decided to displace the accounts and leave Ary, without means. She had kept her actions covert. She had gone into the pit and come out changed with wanton thoughts. She was displeased with her present course and saw an opportunity to change it. Ary never saw it coming. She always blamed everything bad that happened to her on Elle , yet relying on her to take care of her at the same time. She gave Elle , hell on a daily basis one way or another. Shivrona as butter wouldn’t melt, watched Elle take her heat. Elle worked endlessly to support Ary, during this particular period of their combined history.

Araswati, not knowing what had gone wrong, having complete trust in Shivrona, called Ellarya . Ellarya was her Prime , now too. It wasn’t that alone, Ary wanted her friend . Ellarya had no issue helping her, this always being part of her call, promise and compromise for Steve , Dhanya and Savi. She did it with love and grace for all that asked her. Elle exhibited blind , faith and trust in them all. Ellarya was determined to get to the bottom of what was wrong. She knew things were not right. She didn’t know what it was, so she put out a 7th Eye Beacon for help. Giovanni would be the one to answer that call for help.

Giovanni would laugh at her for this, later on. It gave him the upper hand. He would also take advantage of Ellarya’s heart and helpful nature, again. The Cobras did the jester dance and Ary was left without. Elle came and settled all the accounts and Shivrona kept watch , rotating her guard with the others. 

The storms grew fierce and the waters of the Seas surrounding our Realms and shorelines swirled. Ary was in the THRC and Ellarya was with her. The children all at home in Giovanni’s Castle with Parian. Jiery and little Ricky more or less part of their household now. They scuttled off to bed on the children’s floor supervised by Mrs .Haiden. She had warm coco and milk and biscuits. A small glowing coal fire in the hearth . Once in their PJs and wrapped up bedtime wind down time started. A little game of EYE Spy , then a drink and a biscuit . With warm tummies and all snuggled in their beds. The stories started. Jiery loved the Aesop’s Fables and the girls favoured Grimms’ Fairy tales ( of course they did ).

They children had no idea that the battles had started this night. The Cobras had left their pits and summoned the scorpions and bat Dark Flaires and the fighting with tKOSS and the Olympic 7. Within THRC, the Blue Hessian Carpet started to swirl and hum and beckoned Ellarya. Ellarya told Ary to stay. She had everything she needed and was to remain secure and safe. Elle created a bubble and without a ship went down into the swirl.

She came up in her bubble with the Empress Rubyna Drake waiting for her. She mounted the drake and saw she was being taken to DEVIAs Cave. She ran to him and asked what is wrong. Why had he been sent for her . Giovanni said he had worked out that Shivrona had duped them all and caused this madness this night. He showed Ellarya the accounts. He then took her to the seeing dark waters of his cave and activated them and showed her the problem surrounding Lord Beaumont.

Ellarya said show me the children and nothing happened. Giovanni pulled out and created her DARK MIRROR for her and said, command and you will find out. This Mirror will always show your true inward reflection. You can not hide from its truth , or me , Ellarya . You do know that , Giovanni told her. He smiled at her. She said that she had to go back to Parian. Giovanni said, she didn’t . Parian had arranged for The Empress Drake to fetch her ? Why ? Elle said for this ? To show me books ? and that yet again? I have been betrayed by someone trusted. Giovanni pointed out that Ellarya had not been betrayed , Ary had. Ellarya countered that Lt Kharmahan was part of the Olympian 7, part of Parian’s special forces of tKOSS , to protect their family, all of them. Any betrayal is to those vows and hence to her, before anyone else. Ellarya rarely said it, but she reminded Giovanni that she was Prime. Any betrayal was to her , before anyone else.

“So ,why am I here Giovanni, “couldn’t all of this have waited until after the holidays”?, Ellarya asked . “NO”, he said. “I needed to remind you , that I AM YOUR FAMILY FIRST”.

He raised the darkness within them. He raised those feelings they had for each other. He raised and pulled her to him and said on this day of all days , you will be with me. Her bonds with him burned and she looked at their wrists and the threads of the strings that glowed within the air that bound them together.Giovanni heated the strings , so their flesh burned together. HE watched her change into his most desirable joint humanoid butteflairy form for him.She was furious with him and tried to leave. She could not, their threads bound them and she was angry and furious as was he.

Giovanni, laughed at her and said, “You think you could ever leave me” ? “You can’t. Come here to me Allura”. He whispered it so softly, and reverberated it loud in their 7th EYE , so , it shouted within her head. Her head was swimming, Parian had sent her to him. The skies thundered down and thunder and lightening, from the warring factions, was still on going. The magic of the night was lost on her. Gio pulled her to him in a whip like motion and said to her ,with tears in his eyes. He held her gently and said “MY SON”. He cried, as he placed his head on her shoulder. 

Ellarya looked at him and held him ; it dawned on her , why she had been sent to back to Giovanni this night. Both their anger dramatically dissipated into floods of tears. They stood and held each other once again with sadness over taking their anger. Ellarya looked her hand -fast husband and dried his tears. He wiped away hers.

Giovanni lifted up his hand -fast wife into to his quarters within the Cave. They let the storm rage on and let the war be fought. ON this Magickal Night , they remembered the love they had for one another ,that created the son they lost and brought two more into being. The hand -fast bonds of husband and wife re-united with love and tenderness , once again this night.

Uncharted waters to this couple ,unique to them alone, through time and space the MAHAGiQUE” of the night, the moment overwhelmed them both, in togetherness.

Two of the Dragon Eggs glowed Blue: One Cobalt Blue, the other was Aquamarine. Two remained dormant. The stormy night and its magick raged on.

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.

The Snow Blizzard raged on and the battle was fierce. When Giovanni entered into the Seeing Realm, he found Ellarya Prime fighting off swarms of dark forces. They had come for YRA to try and claim her back. Giovanni although he was a Dark Lord, could not stand by and watch “his “Ellarya be decimated. He felt that YRA needed to remain in the world of Light and his child be born into Light. He had sense enough for that. He was angry and dark and he joined his hand- fast wife and when he charged , dark lightning and thunder were released from him. They hit out in all directions against the opposing forces . Ellarya saw Parian’s soldiers fall. She called out for him and seeing and looking into Giovanni’s heart she saw what had him in his Dark Red Mist Rage. Shocked that it was Ary and not her. She felt for him. She sent out a longing and love for him in waves. She kept fighting and his thunder and lightning kept coming out of him. He was crying with rage. Ellarya’s wings were back red and purple with a hint of green. Green and her hints of silver and gold. Green was not envy . Green was mother earth with her nurturing ways. She sent out another wave of emotion to feel and touch Giovanni, to calm him down. He looked at her and coming back into himself could see in his 7th Eye , the commotion he was causing.

Ellarya was fighting. She was flying on the back of Shyvra. Mymsha was with her eggs. Giovanni was on Devia , a dark Drake. Ellarya started to stir, she was going into her time in the real world. Giovanni was pulled back out of the Seeing Realm. He was holding Ellarya , his hand on her tummy , he felt the start of the contraction. They were in their humanoid form. Parian was being summoned out to fight for Yra. Yra being pregnant and in transition from dark to light, could not go out either. Parian came with tKOSS.

Giovanni realized that bringing , the next Prime with her seed into the world was going to be his job. Ellarya was still in a coma , and the contractions continued what seemed hours to Giovanni. He waited watched and prayed. When the time came he positioned, Elle and helped ease the new Butterflairy in her humanoid form into the world. He brought baby Prime Sapphra into the world and heard her cries as the Sephra’s egg shell cracked simultaneously and Sephra , more or less just popped out.

Sephra was bright pink with purple and black highlights with blue green aquamarine eyes. Her eyes shone and matched that of her Ryder. Sapphra was born with a big cry that pierced everyone’s head and hearts. She had strong and powerful lungs. Giovanni held this little one and blessed her with long life and prosperity. She would help keep the balance of all the forces of nature. She would have the power and strength of all the elements. She was born of the Solstice which meant she had light in dark as well as light. She passed her seed into Giovanni’s hands and he held the next generation of this world in his arms and the palm of his hand.

Sapphra cried. She called for her drake and her Mum and all she had was Giovanni. He knew she needed some milk. What to do ? Gio remembered about the next steps in passing a podling seed baby into the world. HE placed the the new born in a make shift crib of his best embroidered pillows , thinking the bright colours and laminae would be catching and calm her down. She reached out to the silver and gold and rubbed them. She caught his finger and squeezed it, as she continued to ball her little lungs out , Gio, checking her grip. He let her be, then positioned her Mum and placed her on her breast. There was peace and quiet. That Baby was going to be a handful and that piercing cry that went through your head. He was drenched in sweat and baby birth and so was the bed. NO one was around.

He found the spare sheets and managed a bed change. Sapphra screaming when he had to place her on the makeshift crib , now amidst the carpet and the pillows on the floor. He kept Elle safe and cleaned and preened her and took her in his arms once again. He kissed her and asked her to come home to him one day again soon. He then scooped up Sapphra and placed her back on her Mum, so she could be quiet for a while. He fashioned her a nappy from one of the smaller pillow cases. Her wrapped her in his shirts that he folded around her, HIS silk shirts. GIOVANNI decided that this little baby that he brought into the world didn’t belong to anyone else in this world before him. He brought her into the world and his heart strings attached to her immediately. She needed a brother(s) , his son(s). Elle was with Parian. He was with Yra, and she was expecting his child also.

Yes, he smiled, fine woman, Yra, so like his Ary. Elle was still in a coma. He felt he had enough white light stored up from the birth that he could go out to her in trance for a little while. He needed to check on her. He laid down beside them, re-wrapped their arms and wings around each other with the baby settled, he went back to sleep and re-entered the Seeing Realm.

The fight raged on. Ellarya Prime was now fighting alongside Parian. He was a magnificent fighter. Gio saw what Elle saw in him , pleased with her choice.

The drakes threw their flames , twists and turns to miss being burnt to a crisp. Many of the dark creatures were flame resistant , so , they had to be cut down by sword, by blade one by one. Elle drew up her bow and arrows , like the huntress Diana, and she let them rip out. They struck sending out waves of flames , like flame thrower as they passed and hit their targets. It was as if the arrows flew. They did , in blaze. Parian stood back slightly from time to time to catch his breath and watch his Lady, his fiance , fight. He noticed that her bump was smaller. The baby had been born. He was a father, once again. Parian held back his tears of joy. Dark pressing matters at hand.

The dark forces- the snakelets had sprouted into flying snakes: Cobras, King Cobras, Coral and Venomous Creatures. They blew out poison with their flames. Parian and his forces cutting them down. Parian decided that they were winning the battle and it was time to leave tKOSS , his 2nd a fierce Lieutenant named Shivrona Kharmarhan. Shivrona was a Jurs Prudence Keeper (JPK) in the real world. She was an ally of Lord Admiral Beaumont, and someone that Ary trusted completely. Something ARY got completely wrong. She would make Ellarya pay for her mistake.

Lieutenant Kharmarhan took command and Parian eased himself , their drakes and his Lady back into the reality of Rosedrop World. In transitioning, the drakes returned to the nesting cave to see the new Sephra. Sephra was destined to be Light Empress Drake- supreme above all drakes. She was also a battle drake. Ricky and Jaida loved her immediately.

Ellarya awoke within Giovanni’s arms , him holding her and her new baby on her , fast asleep. She looked at him, smiled. He looked at her. They both fell back asleep. All was good safe and sound. Giovanni’s red mist had settled with his hand -fast wife and his new daughter in his arms. The Butteflairy seed was in his safe within his possessions, hidden and out of sight.

Parian came in and saw them. He let them be and sat and watched them as they slept.

Parian delivered Jade, Ellarya’s baby from Steve.

Giovanni delivered Star Sappra, Elle’s baby from Parian.

Yra had Giovanni’s baby with the dark Butterflairy seed .

2 little girls , and one more on the way.

one lost son and two more on the way.

Ellarya was told she would have 7 babies , 3 had come to pass, 4 were yet to be and two of those babies belonged to Giovanni. The prophecy did not say who were to sire her last two.

Parian had dozed off. He was awoken , by Giovanni, placing their new daughter in his arms. Parian, this being, his 2nd family, looked at the nappy and shirt and smiled. You would never think that Giovanni was a man of darkness. Giovanni, a man who showed depths of love and kindness at times, at ones most vulnerable moments. He had mastery of having a good soul within the depths of disguise.

Ellarya also awoke and looked at them both, with her youngest child and smiled. Yra joined them , her baby ,to join them all next. She thanked them for fighting for her. She said the GHS was quiet and the staff were handling the work at present. She would be back again tomorrow, to keep it all running smoothly.

YRA asked what had happened at the Snowflake Ball. Giovanni whispered to her that it was the start of the contractions that made Ellarya drop. As he said this , they looked at each other. Ellarya heard every word of the conversation. She had super hearing ability that kicked in when needed. Giovanni ‘s and Ellarya ‘s eyes met ;they both knew what had happened.

Ary sat looking into her glass globe and saw them all happy. She was not. Her plans had backfired. YRA was in charge ,not her. She sat and fumed and ate and smoked her crap makeshift leaves. It all helped to calm her frayed nerves.

You can never really understand sometimes why someone just LIES and mistreats you. Ary sent the poisoned dart into Ellarya, not Parian. Was it a mistake ? Perhaps it wasn’t. Aryc tried to break Ellarya ,so many times, on so many levels. Shame. It didn’t have to be that way at all.

Star Sapphra was a Winter Solstice baby, beside her natural gifts and inheritance powers, she had the essence of the Moon , Sun and stars within her , more powerful than her mother.

Giovanni looked over his shoulder and saw her hovering. He blocked her and sent her back realing so the globe clouded over.

The Queen of Sheba by Handel was playing softly in the background. Giovanni had put it on for his Girls .

Ellarya lay in her healing bed,deep within a Coma. She was caught and trapped within the Seeing Realm. Ellarya was once again , wrapped within Giovanni’s arms. Heavily pregnant with the next Prime and the Butterflairy Tree seed, her world was on the verge of implosion. Her world would collapse without her.

When last we saw Ellarya , she had been summoned by Lord Stefano and Giovanni had momentarily interrupted her calling out to him. He managed to push Giovanni back using his Umbral Senses. He used the power of retraction which caused her to be pulled to him. He used her own light, from within and she glowed , pushed away the dark and within the light, Stefano brought her back to him.

Above all else, Elle and Steve were friends. He made it very difficult sometimes. He was nomadic in nature and did not stay anyone place long. Steve had called Elle out to him, to congratulate her on her new betrothal with Parian. He wanted her to be happy and well. He was happy with Jade and Jaida’s progress. He asked her if she had his band. She said she did and it was well hidden. NO one would ever , replace the love and care that placed that particular band on her hand. It was his and his alone, and he made sure , she had that love from him , with her always. NO one , would ever come and replace that for her. He would always have a small piece of her heart and him, hers. The dark would try, they would NOT succeed.

He smiled. In dreamscape , they were together and happy as they always were. Stefano took her through flight and they surveyed the realm . Steve told her there was going to be an attack. Her safest protection was to trance into Cocoon. She would stay there , until it was deemed safe. He said that was all he could tell her other than, Star Sapphra would be born healthy and happy and full of mischief. Her mind and abilities would surpass all that went before her. She was going to be an extraordinary Prime. Her drakling was to be called Sephra, would inherit Drake Knowledge complete. The transfer of knowledge would take place, night after night as she slept and grew. Complete in its take by her 21st of our Age years. This would also be true of Sapphra.

IN flight ,Steve was in his Scarab Flairy form and Ellarya, in her Butterflairy form. Their wing colours had changed once again ,blended and complemented one another. They did so , because underneath it all love, respect and loyalty remained for each other. He took her back to Orion’s Cave and there he said, through these waters. I will return you back to Parian. He held her for the last time. He told her don’t forget me. Take good care of Jade , she will be a challenge for you. Jaida will follow her and keep her safe. He sat and held her , as they listened to Purcell’s Canon in D. I will make sure you are taken care of. Ellarya believed Stefano ,that he was a man of his word. Stefano was responsible for the care of Jade.

How could she not believe in him? Going forward in time. Steve did NOT keep his word and how Ellarya coped with that ,is part of her story.

Ellarya woke up, returned to Parian. She drifted awake . She awoke with Parian , looking directly into her eyes.. He said to her.,”You have come back to me. I wasn’t sure you would”. Elle responded ,” Steve put you in a trance.” Parian smiled, kissed her, “I am a lightforce , trances work different for me. I can always feel you. I will always know where you are. NO one will EVER be able to block you from me. ” I am also part of you now. “”Come”, he said ,”there is a ball tonight and there is much to do”. Yra walked in and said delightfully, “your not up yet” Parian swung her into his arms and put his hand on her tummy. He looked at her and said. Your seedling will be brought up in light with us. Yra smiled. She was going to be a Mum and she wanted pretty and happy things in her world.

The Silver Snow Ball is this night. I have our dresses and our wings will match. We will need them outstretched as we enter in our “human” forms.I have also some lovely earring cups for our pointy ears. Luscious lipstick also. They were two glittering Silver Belled Snow flakes and their White Satin dresses were adorned with Silver and Gold snowflakes , their wings matched.

Parian laughed. Let them be and went off to work . There was much to be done. The Ball was not just for their Village but the sounding Villages also. The barn doors were opened and Marquees attached either side. The Silver Snowball is serves as Buffet with the head tables being where the Food is laid out. There is a Head Marquee with another Obsidian Head Table with the matching Head Seats: one for Ellarya & One for Yra. They overlooked the large barn yard which had hay put down and sand. Surrounded with hay bale and picnic tables. Softening cushions with throws to match. Small Piles of hay bales build up like couches. with Seated cushions and pillows. All flames were distanced and in Seasonal fire holders that held coal with protective fire glass and grates. The seasonal coolness was in the air, but the extreme chill was not. Seasonal toddies and nulled wine. Spiced fruits and Horderves. A wonderful variety pork, marinated and BBQ and Veggies with sumptuous dips :hummus , guacamole and tomato, amongst them.

Beside the head marquee , was one for th Musicians. Within the center stood a planted a Solstice Tree adorned with Baubles and Ornaments and the Star Glitterball was at the Top of the Tree. As the Fires glowed the Firelight hit the Tree and reflected light transformed the Barn Yard into Ball Dance Floor.

Parian had tKOSS , in place and he had teams that rotated within , flew over and they all had assigned times to be on and off duty. There would be change of service throughout the night. NO intoxicating drinks , were for his team and there were alternatives such as Spiced Fruit Teas and Mulled Spiced Cherry Juice , exotic flavours.

The guests started to arrive . Yra and Elle mingled and entered separately and met up at regular intervals. Araswati fumed. They had no chair for her. She was wrong . They saw her approach , a third special adorned chair was pulled out for her. They placed her in pride of place, and together sat by her side on the right. ON the left, was her own designated Guard. Parian did not leave Elle’s side. Sappra seemed to be kicking along and doing her summersaults to the music. Confinement time was near and everyone rejoiced in the knowledge , the realm had its Heiress. Yra felt stirrings , equally pleased about her pregnancy as were both realms. Children and Drakes always welcome.

The skies above were patrolled by the Drakes: Shyvra and Devia , kept watch. Everyone felt the Snow Blizzard arrival they just didn’t know what it was. Parian and tKOSS remained on high alert.

They danced they sang. The musicians were on form. They were having a glorious nite. The Ball was a great success. Yra smiled and ran to Giovanni when he arrived. He held out his arms and let her run to him. He just could not resist her. She was not Aryc. He looked at his most beloved and smiled. He danced with Yra, then walked back to the head marquee. He greeted them all. Kissed his hand- fast wife. Knelt down and put his head to her tummy and hand to hear and feel , the baby within. He smiled. He stood up went and got Parian a drink. Giovanni laughed and exchanged news. Giovanni was brought up on the reports of the running of his household and tKOSS. Once caught up, He gave Parian the nod and thanked him. He leaned over and kissed his hand -fast wife. As he did, tears fell, he wiped them away , told her there was no need for tears this night. Giovanni went over to the Aryc and asked her dance.

Aryc was in fit form, as Araswati. She smiled and took Giovanni’s hand. Always a handsome figure and her friend, who rejuvenated her complexation, energy and youth. Araswati was happy, GIOVANNI was here with HER. She knew in his heart, no one compared to her ever throughout the years. As they danced, Araswati took out a small discrete pipe that looked like a half penny whistle. She turned around so Giovanni could not see what she was upto and she took aim and blew.

She missed Parian and hit Ellarya . Ellarya dropped to the floor. Giovanni left Araswati and sped to his hand -fast wife. He literally cursed Parian, who was crouched over his fiance and Lady and as Giovanni, cursed him. He pulled him down to him and told him to ” SHUT UP”! She was darted with poison. I didn’t see the direction. The dart had pierced one of Ellarya ‘s hearts.

Giovanni was beyond furious. He felt Ellarya’s heart being pierced and had left Araswati . He literally, left her! She was really upset , he left her , like that. Gio was running to Elle, as, he felt her falling. He would not stand for anyone to hurt her before him. Ary was very surprised. She thought he would literally hate Elle for Steve and Parian, this was not the case. She kept it quiet that she was the one who darted Ellarya with Poison. She was about to step up .She was going to ” claim” , what she thought was “her” place,as Ellarya had been incapacitated.

Aryc was wrong, they thought as Araswati , all would be restored. This was NOT the case. They could not take Elle’s positions ,even as her, because of Elle’s love within her. She was cherished and she helped out of love and hate had incapacitated her.HATE could not take her place in the larger scheme of our Universe. The Celestial 7 had watched over her and made sure, out Prime , kept her position. The Diablo 7 raged, but they could not over power , this law. Elle had placed Yra , to take over , thus keeping the balance of power and peace . She satisfied the Diablo 7 calling, of which she was part and she championed her Celestial 7, by bending a knee and choosing her.She gave immense “happiness ” to YRA , in this action. Happiness prevailed, despite the dastardly deed of Araswati.

Giovanni stood up and said to everyone , that IT was just her confinement time had come and everyone was to await new of the new arrival in the next hours or days. The Snowball was to continue in Celebration of the expected Arrival. Yra was a Queen in her own right and would stand in place and as per Ellarya’s wishes. Ellarya had made if clear with Giovanni , that Yra was to be her 2nd , if she was incapacitated . It had already been agreed and set up. Yra and Parian , kept up the festivities. Giovanni, not wanting Yra to be left alone in amongst a killer.

He held his hand-fast wife in his arms and took walked her into the main Hall of their home, which was now occupied by Yra. He smelt the poison and recognized the smell, trying to place it. It came to him and he knew where the dart had come from. His heart and mind fractured, with the realization.

Aryc had done this. The smell was that of Belladonna Berries. He had seen them and smelt them at Ary’s the last time he was there. He went into his own private stores and found the antidote : the Calabar Bean. He had a few, in a tea there was enough antidote to counterbalance the effects of the Nightshade , Ary had used on Ellarya . He spooned it into her mouth, as tears fell. She didn’t stir. He picked her up and put her, into his room. He stripped her off and cooled her down. He removed his own jacket and shirt as he took care of her himself. He felt the baby move and she was still alive. He got in beside her and held her in his arms. He felt her hearts , he listened to her breathing , it was deep breathing. He realized that she was caught in the Seeing Realm. He knew that there were only a few people that could hold her there and he was one of them. He held his pregnant hand – fast wife in his arms. By her side her placed her on her left side and made she she was elevated and not flat on her back and he cuddled and held her so she would be comfortable, safe and baby too. He would have to go into trance to find her , why she was not coming back to them.

The Snowball came to a natural end. Yra was asked by Parian to work Elle’s shift, at her GHS and take up her rooms there. Without hesitation, Yra stepped up and stepped into Elle’s shoes. She was more than honoured and could not believe how they had just taken to her . Parian looked into her and saw all her heart strings were now white and her bronzed hearts had now specks of silver and gold intermingled. Yra’s aura and balance were changing . He smiled motherhood, was changing Yra. She was beautiful and smart and more gifted than Ary. Yra had all of Ary’ s knowledge and know how as well as her own by her own creation and coming into the Rosedrop World . She had descended from the Diablo 7 but she was being cared and brought into the light by the Celestial 7. She was going to have knowledge and power of both the upper branches of the Universal Feelings.

Parian knew what was transpiring. He went into his 7th Eye that was joined with Ellarya and hovered over her. He looked and saw that Giovanni was taking care of her and he held her in his arms. There was nothing he could do but work , wait and watch and hope.

The Snow Blizzard was ranging in the Seeing Realm. Ellarya was in a sword fight with dark forces. The ones that had come to try to take Yra back. Giovanni was holding her and noticed her wings were back white. He would have to do something about that in the future. He held his hand-fast wife and thought about their sons : the one lost and the ones yet to come.

Parian had been due to be bound to Ellarya , in the light ,this night. He laughed, sort of that , it didn’t happen. He was still ,the only one bound to Ellarya ,as her husband. He would always be first in her life. He would make sure of it one way or another. Let her marry Parian, in light. He would have to , as she was having his child. He didn’t care about that, so long as Elllarya and “his” baby were healthy.

His fractured heart and mind held her,he could not believe Araswati Dowager Prime had done this to him, to her , to them.

Aryc had shot , the poisoned dart, while they were dancing. There was explosions and fire in his heart and mind as it burned with pain, anger and sorrow and fear.Giovanni cuddled and rocked Ellarya , he was not ready to loose her quite yet. He finally calmed down enough, he entered into trance. He called upon the drakes to come and help them. From his fractured heart , he pulled it together ,to enter the fight with her ,himself. Ellarya would have to trust him , again.

Araswati returned to THRC. She sat with her cats. Her Raven. Her drake was out. The Hessian Carpet was quiescent. She couldn’t go see Steve, he would kill her if , he knew what she had done. She had underestimated Ellarya and everyone’s love and care for her. Ellarya was someone who believed in the goodness of people. She really didn’t have devious mind. Her mind didn’t work that way. She had not counted on Yra and Ellarya being such good friends. She felt jealous actually, Ellarya had been her 2nd. She used to be Prime , and should be again , Yra would fulfill that role now. Aryc had brought her into their world by design. It had all gone terribly wrong.

Giovanni was a Dark Lord , with a fractured heart was dangerous.

Happiness was in the air., as the New Moon came into Light.Rosedrop world was getting ready for the Second Winterball of the 3 Seasons’ Balls: the Snowdrop Ball. It was to be held at the weekend coming. The dressmakers were busy. The chefs were planning. It was to be a Silver Bells Snowdrop Ball. The decorators were having a blast getting the village barn all decked out.

The ice rinks and toboggan runs were filled with skaters and sliders. School was out at the end of the week and Winter fun had just begun.

Ellarya and Yra were in their elements. Elle let Yra have artistic freedom and direction. Yra was thrilled. Creating and being an Artist, like Aryc, was her thing. She was expecting and she was enthralled with work, in Light. How did this happen?

Elle was heavily pregnant and getting very excited about the arrival of Starprime Sapphra. She had a lot of time to just sit. She looked into the Celestial waters at the Dragon’s Nest Cave. Mymsha and Shyvra had directed her. They slipped her into the waters and a trance. There is dreamscape , Ellarya entered into the ” Seeing Realm” , where the future is possible and altering the past is dangerous and a rarity. Elle saw that Giovanni’s heart had broken with the loss of their Son. She saw that his little glimmer, was still there ,that stupid “Cockroach” Crush , he had on Aryc ( neither a he or a she , Giovanni , was crushed, but always saw her, as he saw “her” I mean the first time he saw her as a he, Tristan and Parian, just thought they would pass out from laughing the absolute ” just THAT “look” on his face, it was priceless, NOT that way inclined himself, he , however, didn’t actually care , love was love at the end of the day).

Yra was her identical mirror and was not attached. Ellarya saw , Giovanni’s reaction to Yra and his plans with her. Giovanni had wanted to hurt and punish her for a great variety of reasons over the years, most of them over “loving Steve”, for having Jade. She thought the best way around that when she saw it was to hand her to him and did just that. Elle saw that Yra was lonely and sad . Loneliness bleeds into the dark and expands its power. Elle thought let them be together. She was falling more and more for Parian and was happy about their child. She had a wonderful feeling about him. He was Tristan’s lifeforce. In dreamscape the drakes , took Ellarya back to her childhood and the promise she made to herself about marrying Tristan and his response , in twirling her hair. She saw this and held her breathe. She looked at his smile and remembered just how he struck and hit and strummed her heart strings.

Aryc was strong , beautiful and emerged from THRC to join Yra with the plans for the Ball. She had missed the first one. She decided , she was young and strong again and needed to be on the scene ,as part of the hierarchy of the Rosedrop World. Araswati Dowager Prime, still retained her Starpower, it was in suspension. Araswati was more than just being a Prime , when she was Prime. She was a Drakyn Dark Wiccan Warrior. She had knowledge of DARK “”MAHAGIQUE” , a shapeshifter. She could travel in light and dark auras. She could enter into the flutter lanes and cross the seas. She spoke a multitude of languages and had considerable knowledge to all the ancient ways.

Few rivalled her knowledge , NANA, Parian’s Grandma ,being one of them. Aryc was made of stern and brave stuff. Aryc was not really of white light at all. This was something that PRIME ELLARYA NICCODEMUS would come to learn, much later in her life. Aryc was brought up , in a dark wiccan sect many moons ago. “They” had been enslaved and ‘broke free’.

Aryc’s aura surrounded and wrapped around Stefano’s -he would come to truly despise this- completely fall for another, who would eventually, leave him, feeling sad and alone , once more: the way ” they” always left him. No wonder : SAVI , was always , so worried about him! Left him with Ellarya, the one being , she would ” love” him , blindly always ,or would she ?

Aryc had been one of the carriers of the “PAIN” of the Wiccan World, “they” had betrayed their post, position/ OUR WORLDs. They held all the memories of the tortures and inquisitions that had taken place throughout the realms in space and time. Prime Niccodemus now held it , passed to her with her position: PAIN. Pain changes you. It can make you dark and Aryc had the power of dark magicka.

She was bonded, or so, she claimed, to Lord Admiral Stefano Beaumont. Stefano had other ideas, he lied to her, cheated on her and was never faithful to her in anyway. He had no regard , or care for her, just used her for her” abilities ” . Ha ha and sometimes , and that was a ” joke “between them both too! Ha ha ha.

Admiral Beaumont ,if you recall from our beginning chapters , is an Umbral Lord, a master of dark and light within himself. Lord Admiral Beaumont , master of the Sea, had the ability to casts :Umbras. Umbras are dark regions where there was almost no light. Penumbral areas sometimes , had some light, sunshine. Steve was master at casting both and with them , he caught Aryc; he only wanted from her , what she could do for him with his CAREER , in the realm of the Other WORLD. He was the one , who came and broke her free from her darkened and imprisoned wiccan sect- that is another tale , altogether, which , will be told , in time, our ” RUNAWAY” story!

Aryc decided they were going to cast some dark magicka through the glitter balls that made the room seem to dance with Snowflakes. They were going to take that PRIMAL position back. They could do that if Ellarya Niccodemus became completely incapacitated. Aryc would have to return to being Araswati and choose to have her bounds- regenerated with Stefano( them having BROKE ,when Lord Lucuman showed up claiming his partner). Aryc would have to then CHOOSE STEFANO , over and above :Lord Lucuman ( he was so delightfully, handsome and brave ). Araswati could claim her spot back, find away to “DUMP” Stefano,( truth is – was actual PAYBACK, for all the times : he actually cheated on her, lied to her in the OTHER Realm) and keep her truly and only beloved, Lord Lucuman Zohan. The only problem was getting past Parian., and giving up her Lord Lucuman , whom “”they” treasured , close to worship. wasn’t really an option. PARIAN, as , a life FORCE was formidable. He was CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD and Companion Consort in waiting to the now PRIME, Starchild, CHERISHED CHILD, with Moonlight essence and abilities of all the elements above land, and claimed from the air, water and of course, FIRE: Ellarya. PARIAN had POWER. HE had GIFTS , HE had it ALL, actually. HE was going to be a problem, OF COURSE HE WAS. She would, JUST HAVE TO figure something out.

She decided on a single poison dart, to put Parian to sleep, would be ideal. Aryc decided that they were going to shoot him, right in the throat and break that BIG TALK of his. YAP , YAP ,YAP about Ellarya, WTF, she didn’t care about her or any of them anymore. She didn’t care about herself. She didn’t care for her animals , hardly, that remained the last element… Elle was pissed off at her over – feeding the defenseless KATs, making them wobble and FAT. She more or less “killed” tuffles with treats. Ellarya thought she was a real BITCH for mistreating her animals in that way! Stuff , stuff , stuff herself and them!

Aryc went about making good, or pretending to do so. ALWAYS a liar, a cheat ; always disappointing those that decided to trust and believe in her. Araswati helped Yra deck the halls and everyone sang along. The barn looked like a delightful Winter Wonderland. Snow Bells, Silver Bells and pretty snowflakes , sparkled the walls. The long tables were set with Sterling Silver and it had both entities catered for Butterflairies and their humanoid forms. The Head Table chairs were made of Obsidian and reflected a deep purple and blue. They were softened with cushions and drapings with silver laminae within the threads , that gave glitter of snowflake appearances in multi-layered fabrics.

The glitterball had been designed by Yra . Elle marvelled at how similar their styles of YRA were to those of Aryc. Aryc felt Yra’s pregnancy and the dark seed and laughed a great laugh when she felt that Giovanni had sired them. How wickedly delicious, she laughed heartily ,out loud. She had missed the fact that Ellarya , had planned it all to help heal Giovanni’s broken heart. Aryc did not realize , how much she missed out. Ellarya would be faithful and despite Aryc’s feelings and attitude towards her remained true and tried to support the Dowager , thus keeping her word to the Lord Beaumont and the Moms. Ellarya stood up and sound against all the negative energy from Aryc. She tried to bring rays of sunlight and hope with every visit, only to be lied to and deceived further and further. Aryc mistreated Ellarya in the worst way.She was a “friend “, who betrayed Ellarya’s trust. Aryc was the worst”” best friend” ever. She lied and mistreated everyone , she came across, that is why Lord Beaumont, kept reaching for someone else, sheer abuse from that “temper”! He was very , very unhappy , alot of the time. Elle understood this about him and loved him blindly, as best she could. He loved her equally, the best he could and told her so, many , many times. He called her ” out ” to him, and she always found him. In time, there would be another , that could reach her like that and the colour and feel of that call to come, was ” aquamarine” !

This is a time of a New Moon , and with this particular New Moon, disillusions from the past can be washed away. The New Moon Shine brings with it a particular beauty with hidden passion and secrets. However, some of the planetary movements within the Diablo heavens were slow moving . The slow planetary movements cast upon the New Moonshine Light which made straight forward light and happiness , complicated and chaotic. This was the perfect time for Arythenia to inflict her “charms” onto the Silver Bells Snowdrop Ball.

Parian, found Ellarya in the Dragon’s Cave. He came and pulled her out of dreamscape. He cuddled and kissed her and brought her back to their reality. He looked over at the single glowing pink Dragon Egg and smiled. He held Elllarya in his arms and asked her to marry him at the Winter Ball. He said he wanted to marry her in Light , would she?

Ellarya wept and said she would. The moment she accepted she felt them. Giovanni reared up his image looking up at her from the depths of the Celestial Pool. Lord Beaumont sent out a call that only Ellarya could hear. She had been summoned by the Admiral Umbral Lord Beaumont to his deck quarters on his ship.

Ellarya and Parian made their way back to his Barracks, after checking on the children and the little drakes with their Nannies and the elder Drakes.

Elle did not sleep, although it seemed as if she was sound asleep in Parian’s arms. She had been called out. Lord Admiral Stefano Beaumont used his shading umbral abilities and brought Ellarya Prime, his ” cherished child” , to him.

The Snow Blizzard was well on its way, and it was all going to hit and bring with it snow and ice and blistering ,ice rain and wind , the night of the Silver Bell Snowflake Ball.

The darkness was sliding along , humming its merry tune. The Umbral regions remained hidden. The Chessterfields, both dark and light , started to move. The Forest Trees talked , as Rosedrop World entered this New Moon phase.

Stephanu was waiting for Ellarya to arrive, with his, OPEN ARMS. Giovanni reared up and grabbed her to him first. Music played and it started to Snow. Parian stirred and Giovanni, held onto Ellarya with a vice tight grip and said : in dark you are mine – don’t ever forget. He let her go, Stefano grabbed her before she fell into and under the Great Wheel. Parian was kept in his trance. Steve’s music started to play and Ellarya was nestled in his arms once again. Stefano was not going to let her fall.

Aryc was “”cracked” with fury. Giovanni, saw red and the Dark Red Mist within him rose.

A Snow Blizzard was coming.

Didn’t know how to lie to you

Did sure know how to cry for you

Did not ever TRUST you

Doesn’t mean I don’t LOVE YOU.

Ellarya went back to her Parian’s Barracks and stayed with him the following few weeks there, between working and taking care of all the children.

She let Yra stay at her place to feel more at home and surrounded by light and love and ” happy things”. Allura looked at her sometimes and wondered.

Ellarya sent word. She and Yra came together and it was decided.

Ellarya sent word for Giovanni, his presence was required at the dTHRC.

Giovanni was annoyed to be summoned by his hand – fast wife. He came because she promised him a re-creation of their “honeymoon”. He was not sure why, she said the dTHRC, that worried him slightly.

He came in and Ellarya was in the position at the head of the bed , where Alagron had been stationed. He came in and she looked at him and repeated the phrases :

“Didn’t know how to lie to you

Did sure know how to cry for you

Did not ever TRUST you

Doesn’t mean I don’t LOVE YOU. “

As she said this, Yra came up to him. Giovanni looked at them both. “No” he said.

“YES” , they both said.

Fire and brimstone and the snakelets started to hum and beat their wings. Giovanni stared at them both, as they changed , danced , entinced and teased him.

Giovanni, looked at Ellarya, why ?

She replied : ” Why not ? ” , She kissed Yra on the way out and said , don’t be too gentle with him. She turned and looked at Giovanni’s handsome face , tears flowed and she said to him:

Your Wish – my Dark ,”hand -fast ” Lord, bowed to him , and left.

The 90 day tour had begun. Giovanni, took Yra with him to his other world. He kept her with him for the next 90 days. Everyone wondered if , he had left Dyandra. He had not, he had just taken a diversionary interlude. He could not have his wish, but this came a close 2nd.

Aryc Dowager Prime, was livid. She was indeed the Witch of the Gingerbread House. She baked and ate and gave the sweetened light gingerbread to the Village children. Gingerbread , gingerbread, gingerbread man, you need to bake me a cake, so I can be the “Sweet” Lady around the Village. Dowager Prime, was trying to recruit her own Army. She had lost Parian’s when she had been dethroned. She was not ready to make a choice as yet, but figured She could train them up once she had them under control with their sweet tooths. She was getting ready for a comeback of sorts. Shyvra told her it was a very “bad” idea. Did she heed her Drake’s advise? She deposited it for safe keeping in her mind.

Ellarya spent her day working, and all her nights were with Parian. Sapphra was happy and thriving and the Dragon Egg Glowed a lovely Light Pink Rose and began pulsate with its hearts beating so , vibrations were sent out. She was a little dreamer. She rolled summersaults, this little Drakling, every time Sapphra matched her in her. Parian would laugh and put his hand over her to steady her and calm her down.

The Babies grew and 90 days turned into 190days, then 380 days into total. The 90 day tour was over and Yra returned. Yra went over to find ,her now heavily pregnant ,friend at work. Yra came back and Elle said your glowing, is it done ? Yra nodded!

It had to be done. Only a Dark Lord , could do what was required. Yra was with child, with the dark seed of the next Generation of the dButterflairy tree. Giovanni had sired the Yra’s children, on the 90day tour. Each 90 days, another pregnancy was seeded. Yra had 3 pregnancies by Giovanni. Each pregnancy was going to match, Ellarya’s children. 2 pregnancies went into hibernation, one developed.

The power of balance needed to be matched. Ellarya figured she would do her best to give Giovanni, his heart’s desire. Giovanni didn’t really understand , why Ellarya handed Yra over to him like that. He was worried , she had given up on him and didn’t like the thought of it. She still owed him two more sons.

Yra returned to Ellarya, happy , her loneliness and sadness lifted. She was happy and glowed with the embers of white light in her heart strings , within her blackened hearts: Yra’s hearts being of Bronzed Gold and Silver with flecks of sequences darkened diamonds , that sparkled , within her and her wings when she glowed, enhancing her ” Elvira ” look. Giovanni fell for her hook , line and sinker.

Ellaryawas playing the longer game of light. She was determined to win. As the moon cycle continues there is a changing of emotion: mood swings and chaos. Its that what pregnancy and life is all about.

Giovanni returned to Dyandra and his other family.

Ellarya remained with Parian, knowing Tristan was on his way.

Yra found herself living in Giovanni’s Castle , occupying Ellarya’s old room. She loved it especially , the bathroom with all the white light features. She was happy and the dark seedling grew and developed in white light of Giovanni’s and Ellarya’s home.

“Didn’t know how to lie to you

Did sure know how to cry for you

Did not ever TRUST you

Doesn’t mean I don’t LOVE YOU”, sang Ellarya ,for Giovanni.

Giovanni heard her. Sat down and wept.

It is The Season, a magical time of year. Ellarya had decided to throw a Winter Ball. There was excitement and happiness in the air. The snow was on the ground and the lakes had frozen over. Skating and Skiing and Snowflairy Flakes .Magicka was about. Ice Sculptures and small little huts with fires and toddies that sprinkled throughout and around the lakes of both dark and light ChessterField Woods. The Moats around the Strategic Castles were built up to be ice rinks and toboggan slides. Lots of fun and JJ and the little drakes had a blast. After school activities , until it was time to go inside. Ellarya placed the wet clothes over her hearth on a drying rack. She got JJ into the bath and the little drakes into the sandpit to preen and clean. All the “Mommy ” drakes to their turns but no over ruled any of Mymsha”s decisions, not even her mother. It was hard for little Ricky, he was sort of by himself. He tried to be happy but he was missing having a Ryder to be his own and feel like he belonged. He remained a happy little chappy and decided the best way to avoid being in the doldrums was to entertain himself by “bugging” the life out of the ” Girls”. He stuck glue in JJ’s school shoes. He decided one day it was a good idea to lock them in the outdoor shed. Until, he discovered everyone was looking for JJ and Jaida and he was gonna get into a lot of trouble. They found a secret way out and slipped up to their beds. Came down as if what was all the fuss about… they were taking a nap. Ricky decided he owed them one and would not lock them up for at least a month. Will have to think of something…. the something was oil on the door handles to make everyone slip. They never found out it was him.

Ricky became a little village prankster. He kept the adults on their feet. He had a little cohort of helpers. Jiery Valance was his best pal. A little village boy with dark brown hair , with blond and red highlights that glittered light when he played , nice disposition bright, cheeky & musical. Jiery V as he was affectionately called was destined to be Ricky’s Ryder. Jier was from one of the nice , more respectable families in Elle ‘s domain. Jier’s mother was one of her ladies in waiting , that had been assigned by Giovanni along time ago. Elle had not availed of her services , until JJ came on the scene. She was grateful for her help ,along with Mrs. Haiden, the Celtic Nanny, also chosen by Giovanni.

Ellarya had to admit to herself , how very much she missed Giovanni. She buried it. She heard he was off working and being successful. He was healthy and happy and she could not want anymore for him than that. She missed him. Daily the thoughts of how their son would be, would fleetingly enter her mind and she would busy herself with home or work. Her Herebral Alchemy post was expanding and she was building her own reputation and practice and really enjoying herself. Her nights were spent with Parian when he was not on duty. She glowed. They kept their pregnancy hidden. Elle was carrying the next Prime with the next Butterflairy Seed, this pregnancy was part of a prophecy. She had decided that Giovanni had flown off on her for the last time. She was in her own place with the kids and supporting herself. Parian had his barracks, his own family homesteads and dwellings. Parian came from Rosedrop World Royalty, one of 3 brothers and their grandma: Nana , legendary. She was one of the Elder, the Elydras who held knowledge about their world and how to protect the Prime. Nana’s knowledge and wisdom helped them win many battles over the Centuries , she was as ancient as the trees. Her wrinkles were life lines, filled with laughter and sadness, like rings on a tree , they told a story. She was petite; wore her hair in a bun, tightly pulled back. She had cane, like a ballerina’s timing stick. She knew how to use it. She glided elegantly around and arguing with her was like arguing with mother nature herself. They were good friends.

The preparations for the first Snow Ball of the Winter Season were well underway. The same barn was decorated with Seasonal Holly and Berried herb Spriggs. Cinnamon and Nutmeg, and all Spice smells delighted the senses and the taste buds from the baking treats. Full Seasonal spread for both Butterflairy forms and their humanoid counterparts. tKOSS were embroiled in patrols . Parian was enthralled, to becoming a father again. He knew he could not slow Ellarya down. He knew she was busy , so busy ,to keep her grief at bay. She never got over the loss of her eldest son, neither did Giovanni and it bonded them together in away he knew , he could never separate them. He decided the best thing was not to be jealous ; protect which was his duty and keep her happy ,if he could.

Yra and Ary were separated. Ellarya went to her friend and convinced her to come home and be with them in their Butterflairy Tree where she could take care of her. Yra stayed in the dButterflairy Tree. Yra was lonely. Ellarya thought she was pretty and although she was a Dark Heiress and her supposed Opposition. She liked her. She had her over , told her to come help with the kids and they actually became fast friends. Dark and light enjoyed being in each other’s company. Their only problem , was Giovanni and Ary. Ary ‘s dip in the Diablo waters was wearing off. She looked at her reflection in Yra and ate more, in hiding. She figured no one knew. Yra and Elle knew. They did their best to encourage her to healthier options, which fell on deaf ears and inevitably ended in an argument or Ellarya being told off , insulted. Ellarya despite this , helped daily -treks, cleaning, taking care of the felines, little cuties. Tuffles was always missed.

Yra and Elle planned the feast and had it already. They wardrobes were red and green and mirrored one another. They changed into their Butterflairy forms and Elle’s Green, Red and Purple Wings were matched by Yra in the Opposite ,a sort of mirrored pattern. Yra was great with the kids and the little drakes. She had a special way with them. Life went along pretty good. The ladies in waiting, well they just had to take a back seat. Everyone worried that Yra and Ellarya were friends, they were destined to fight one another. Elle kept Ary safe. She had made a promise and she stuck to it. NO one knew. Not even Stefano . It would be many years before they all learned what had been asked of Ellarya , when she was so very young; one man, one life , one love that just endured.

The night of the Winter Ball arrived. Everyone was having fun. Ellarya and Yra entered together. Elle asked Yra to sit in Giovanni’s chair beside hers ,as he was not around. She looked at her and it was the closest Yra every came to tears. She was so pleased. They had fun the strobe lights played tKoss showed up and all the combined ladies in waiting with the villagers danced up a storm. Food was brought in. Parian had his guard around and he stood behind The Prime’s chair and watched his pregnant companion-wife entertain her friend, possibly her worst enemy. They laughed and drank and complemented one another.

He arrived. Giovanni appeared. He stopped ,as he watched the scene of Yra and “his” Ellarya laughing , having what appeared to be a wonderful time. He had come in on the quiet. He actually saw them together and thought he had literally died and gone to heaven. They looked amazing together. NO NO , he thought, it would never happen and he chuckled more to himself. He came up slowly and passed Parian with a nod put his hand out and asked his hand- fast wife to dance first, as he winked at Yra, simultaneously. Ellary looked at him ,with tears in her eyes . Ellarya got up . They went to the centre of the dance floor. Giovanni took Ellarya in his arms . Their aura combined once more, he said, your pregnant again. Sapphra is most welcome . We are very blessed to be expecting another child ,within our homes. As far as Giovanni was concerned, Ellarya’s children and belongings were his. It was an ancient law that had been squashed in Rosedrop World, by the feminine hierarchy of their governing ways. Giovanni had told Ellarya ,the way it was( for him, or so , he thought. She would listen to him rave on about it…” how unfair”, not under my roof, etc… “YES DEAR”, was all she would say. ) He figured he had her wrapped around his little finger. He did to an extent. She was blind, when it came to him. They danced. Parian watched “his” companion – wife and , his PRIME , dancing with Giovanni. The guards were doubled around them.

Giovanni brought her back to Parian and placed “his” Elle’s hand in his , as he went and asked Yra to dance. Yra looked worried .Giovanni said, its ok. She won’t take your head for a dance tonight. I promise.” Yra smiled . She stood up. Ellarya looked over and thought how pretty Yra looked , completely over looking that she was in Giovanni’s arms. Elle went over to her , asked Giovanni to go take a seat . Ellarya took Yra in her arms , the girlfriends: danced the night away . The ladies joined in some of tKOSS stood back and watched also. The ladies had taken over the dance floor.Ella and Yra combined their light this night and kept the peace.

Yra looked over at Giovanni, winked at him, then she kissed Ellarya , right there in the middle of the dance floor. Ellarya kissed her back. Parian and Giovanni were gobsmacked. Neither had anything to say, they each sat there with what knows what was going through their minds. The ladies , arm in arm said it was time to say good night and set off to see their children and left them all stunned. The music played well into the night. Lots of dancing and ‘ after party’ mischief was a foot. Flirtatious smiles and exchanges, that lead to clandestine liaisons. It was an interesting night for a few couples. The extravagant , extraverted , more voracious individuals that exchanged their dance cards throughout the night.

Elle and Yra, snuck off in laughter. They had a lot of fun doing that. Yra asked, her, “would “you take my head for Giovanni. Ellarya looked her and said with a deadly stare: “YES”! However, you would have to have your own wicked way with him, then , I would then we both would and well… really.. that in itself would give him a heart attack. They burst out laughing and agreed that Giovanni was not actually worth the trouble anymore. Somewhere , some how the ladies had found a kinship with each other that surprised them both.

Ellarya put her arm through and around Yra’s and kissed her again. It would be very hard to hurt you in anyway , my friend. Let’s try and keep the balance of power and peace for the rest for this Season and remain friends during “OUR” time, this span and beyond ,if we can. How does that sound? Yra burst into tears. Ellarya decided , no stupid “guy” was worth more than her friend ( accept Steve , of course, that ” damn , silly STUPID , man).

They looked in on the little ones. The Nanny close at hand , told them they were fine. They left and as they walked away from the Nursery ,Yra looked at Ellarya ‘ reflection .”Your expecting aren’t you ? I can tell, you have that really happy glow. ” Yra felt her tummy. Ohhh, you have the Seed as well. Yra asked , “I need to have one as well. We are supposed to be enemies. Our children will be enemies.” Ellaya said to her, “we love each other, so let’s set all that aside for now and enjoy the rest of the evening in each other’s company”. Elle knew the way around that one. She smiled to herself. For Peace , she thought. It will just have to be that way. Yes, there were going to be stuck with each other , one way or another , that’s for bloody sure.

Come Yra, Come be alone with me , let’s connect our superior feminine powers this night , magic and harmony will be felt in” our” world. We will send out this vibe. Really , good harmonious vibrations.

Ellarya flew back with Yra, back to Giovanni’s Castle and her quarters there. Giovanni heard them go into Elle’s room . With all his might, wished he could walk in on them, but knew he did not dare. Parian stepped from the shadows. He said to Giovanni, I will leave them a guard. Let’s go drink the rest of this night away. They did and their ladies , well, they had tea and talked and tried to put their heads together about keeping the balance and avoiding having to fight one another. Dark and light became fast ‘girlfriends’, the best of friends.

Ary looked into the Celestial water bowl and thought: How did that happen? She had brought Yra into this domain to KILL Ellarya and there they were the BEST OF FRIENDS, without her ,as well, Elle was supposed to her friend! Damn it . Damn them!. Damn them all. She yelled and wailed and smashed glass. Her usual , like a 3 year old, same height , as well! YES, and there they were planning ,another baby and what they were going to do when Yra had her little dark seeded podling. Really, Ary didn’t really like babies at all. She didn’t really like children, she was in fact the Witch of the Gingerbread House, if ,she could eat children , she would. She had a better plan for Ellarya and Yra and their children. She was going to starve them out. Cause such hardship for Ellarya and Yra that they would end of fighting each other over that old harsh enemy: “COIN”. Ary looked at them and laughed. Giovanni would help Ary. She could always warp /wrap Giovanni around her little finger. Gio wrapped Ellarya around his little finger ( & every where else as much as he could) Ellarya decided that Yra was her friend first before she was dark anything. Yra was absolutely at a melting point, at how ” happiness” with Ellarya, had lifted her darkness. She found a true friend and this made her happy. She was born into and of darkness but thought friendship and love found light. YRA was changing.

Giovanni and Parian went for drinks in the great hall. Sat in the main chairs where Elle and Yra had been sitting with visions of them dancing .They danced like Sugar Plum Flairies., in the Nutcracker Ballet by Tchaikovsky .

Like the ballet, the visions of sugar plums dancing did not last, the darkness came with approach of the dark “mouse” parade. Rosedrop World was descending into a Winter Blizzard, despite the good vibrations.

Yra and Ellarya fell asleep arm in arm, plotting to protect their peace and friendship. Believing like all good friends do, it would last. Elle and Yra were not lovers , but some ,wondered if they were. Giovanni thought he would finally get his threesome with them both, if he dared. Parian laughed at him ,when he mentioned it. It made him sad. He knew she was still hiding her grief at the loss of their son. Giovanni stood up, shook Parian’s hand, said he had to get back. He congratulated him on his expected daughter , Sapphra. Said he was a lucky man to father the next Prime. He asked Parian to good care of them all. He would be back soon. He handed Parian the keys to his Castle and said he could use his quarters when he was not there. HE told Parian, he expected him to survey and keep things going in his absence ,that he was no longer just the Captain of the Guard, he was also the Companion Steward of Ellarya Prime and Rosedrop World . Parian’s job and duty had somehow just expanded. Tristan arrived. Drawn by the Good Vibe he felt. He immediately joined with Parian. Tristan joining with his lifeforce once again.

Giovanni tiptoed back to Ellarya’s room and opened the door a smidge. He saw the two friends side by side. Yra had her hand on Ellarya’s tummy feeling and protecting the just noticeable little bump. Their heads were side by side and they had their wings surrounding each other and wrapping around them , like hands entwined. They had their hair strands, entangled within each others, they were that close. A rainbow surrounded them and a dark halo , then another grey sort of rainbow… the combinations of dark and light with their protective forces in balance. The balance of dark and light and peace… rarely one gets to see it in this world. It never lasts, but on this night, the first Winter Ball of the Season, magic had hit Rosedrop World.

Giovanni closed the door. He went and looked in on the babies. Ricky was at Jier’s house. He snuck in their also to check on them both. He went had tea with Ary in what seemed to be the very Special RoseDrop Cafe this night. He poured an elixir for her. It was made with the waters from Diablo pool. Ary’s youth was restored. He left her , in the hands of Ellarya and Yra.

Giovanni went into the dark Butterflairy Tree – THRC and slept there. He dreamt all the terrible things that Ellarya had to endure for him, by him, because of him. He had no idea how he would make it up to her if he could. He didn’t know how. Neither did she. They grew farther apart. Giovanni left for one of his long extended business trips and his other family with Dyandra , his other wife. Dyandra had no idea about his life with Ellarya , best kept that way.

Fate looked down and smiled. It cried for the loss of their first , eldest son and declared that the last part of the three part prophecy had yet to be fulfilled.

Tristan found his way, to his future wife’s bedroom door. He had no hesitation and stepped into the room with the two friends, to entertain them both. They were sleeping. He sat quietly in a chair , over looked them both. He walked over gently, put his hand on Allura’s tummy just above Yra’s and felt the baby beneath. She would be joined by twins in the future, his. He smiled. Laid a gentle kiss on Ellarya ‘s lips, not waking her. He sat back down and waited for them both to stir awake and let the fun begin, even if all he got to do was serve them both breakfast in bed. The Feminine Delight would prevail.

The magical snowflairy flakes began to fall . Magicka dropped down again onto the habitants of Rosedrop World , a Snow Blizzard was on its way. Love and beauty started to fall , nestled in every snowflairy flake. Passions and secrets were formulated.

Dark Beauty and Love of light intermingled and a Dragon Egg started to glow pink.

( as per the magickal calender of this month Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty enters into the time and leaves signs for secrets to develop and passions to soar. Moon Beams shine down and Moonlight shines down on Rosedrop World. Pearl droplets have sprinkled down into the depths of our Seas. )

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.

Bonfire Night, the Trio lit their fire within their Drake’s Den. They had their Diabo Pool and they sent out their vibrations to call for Giovanni. He was with his expecting hand-fast wife within her quarters. Her confinement time was near. She took on her Butterflairy form , waiting for her pod to be birthed . The pod would open ,to reveal ,with , as the perfectly formed JJ. Giovanni was nervous and kept looking around the room. He looked over at her balcony .DEVIA had arrived for him.

He kissed Ellarya , said he would be back. Going for her favorite nectar to sip and would be back in a ” nip”. He thought perfect timing, he was starting to feel claustrophobic and locked in. Just a short “ESCAPE” ; he would be back, shortly. He really needed to just get some air, a little of his own time,to just clear his head , before their new arrival. He was a father already with his other family , but this was Ellarya and as far as he was concerned – anything that came and around her belonged to him. He was the one she needed . He told her so over and over, even after their marriage had ended.

Life would be have been much simpler for them both, if they just left each other alone.

DEVIA had other plans, once Giovanni mounted her. She took him back to her Cave and said he was expected within. She said to him, “bond with me”, “Dark Lord” and be my “Ryder”, with my dark Lady. Giovanni needed that Drake. He reached out and caressed her snout. Her tongue flicked out and surrounded him. He told her, I don’t share you. You are mine or nothing. His taste and flavour suited her and she agreed. Devia told him , he would have to go inside, celebrate becoming her sole Ryder , advising YRA , she had bonded with him , himself.

Giovanni walked in and saw the Trio dancing ,welcoming him. A special little ‘backroom’ show for him. Burlesque dance was exhilarating . He saw them dance .They were scantily dressed , in their respective ethnic “swimsuits” ,that barely covered anything. He sat back. They changed from “flairy” form to humanoid form. They flitted and flirted. They had set up some dancing poles, to wrap around . They had a comfortable chair for him, with a small table. He sat like a ” King” ,beside the Diablo Pool. They poured him wine and let him sit back and enjoy ” their show “for him. They used the pool beside them, giving a wet revealing look, very slippery. Giovanni got lost in time with them. Yra entered the “arena”. She was dressed in a harlot red satin dress that mirrored the previous night’s dress. Gio ‘s eye bugged out of his head. The dress was wet and slippery ,clung to her. Nothing was left to imagine. Her curves ,crevices revealed. High slit up the thigh, just one side, elegant and classy. She sat down opposite him. He took his drink , had a sip as she sat back and crossed her legs in front of him. Knowing he was mesmerized, her ” ARY” likeness. The ” cockroach crush” that never dissipated. She got up ,sashayed over to one of the dance poles. She flipped back and forth between dark butterflairy and humanoid form. A mirror image , extremely colourful Butterflairy joined her. They flitted and flirted with him and when they sat down beside him. Gio found that he had Yra sitting opposite him as before. Yra had ARY on the other side of her.. They were “together” . An extremely ” romantic” show was underway for him. . Allura ‘s nectar was forgotten. They drank and danced him through Bonfire Night, until he fell asleep.

Ellaryas confinement at the same time had arrived. She was by herself. Gio showed no signs of returning soon. She really would have liked a sip of that Nectar.

She was alone.

She got up and flitted down into the Celestial Pool. There she sat and waited . She was calm , cool and collected. She did the wing exercises that were meant to be distracting. She sat in the pool , flapping her wings with calm steady strokes.

Parian arrived. Wait for the next bout of “contractions” Ellarya . I would like you to transform for me. I can assist you better that way. He removed his armour and slipped down behind her.

We will do this the very old fashion way .He had her sit on him and he held her through her pain. When the time arrived , they both transformed. Just before they transformed , he whispered to her, you will be my wife and kissed her cheek gently. As they transformed into Butter and Dragon Flairies combined , Parian surrounded Ellarya’s wings . They were entwined .

OK. Ellarya , he told her and shone and transferred his lifeforce to her through their enraptured joint wings, Jade came into the world .a new powerful Butterflairy Scarab was born. The pod passed out gently with ease and opened to reveal a perfectly “Sparkly Pink” Baby Butterflairy, full of magic and POWER. Jaida , our bright new sparkly drakling ,cracked her shell and sent bits flying. She peeled herself out of the remaining shell to be licked and preened by her Mum. Jaida was ” a sparkly bubble pink” too.

Gio awoke. He looked over at his Drake. He realized what had happened. He woke up ,she was there with him alone. The TRIO with Yra and Ary had disappeared. Yra was a dark Prime. She had equivalent of Ellarya- she had her Trio. They had departed to the Black Butterflairy Tree with is own THRC . Ary went with them.

Parian called the tKOSS and the new Mum with Jade ,were transferred to her healing room ,at the GHS. The staff were delighted . Parian had made advance arrangements for a room ,two moons previous , just in case. Stefano was waiting .He greeted them. He got up and hugged Parian. So delighted to have his ” Muffin” with their little Jade. He pulled out a clear crystal globe and showed them the new drakling ,Jaida. Steve assisted with transfer of Elle and JJ. The joy and hugs and kisses ,at their reunion. Lots of happy tears flowed .

A new Butterflairy Scarab , with a combination of gifts and powers of both her parents , along with the strength and protection of Parian. Giovanni eventually showed up , with a somewhat heavy head, tearful and remorseful eyes.

Ellarya of course had seen it all, through her 7th Eye. She was tired. She thanked Parian .She kissed him . Elle asked him to stay close. He replied to her ,” always “, my Lady. Giovanni sheepishly looked at Jade. Steve was simply glowing. Elle , my son will be next and smiled. ( the closest , he came to an apology )He shook Stefano’s hand , so delighted at the family addition. He announced that he was so pleased they all had all come to see their daughter . HE could not wait for the other children to arrive, as ,well as the other draklings.

Mymsha arrived. Jaida wobbled in , through the window. She toddled and wobbled her way. She crawled up the side of the crib. There, beside JJ , she wiggled in ,to smell her, lick her . She fell asleep. Their little snores synchronized. Mymsha said she had to return to THRC to be with Ary. She was granted permission to leave by Steve.

Dragon – speak is to the mind. It is a difficult language and only the very special “Flaires” could hear them, understand them. You simply had to BELIEVE, have faith and never stop believing in the “Magic” of Dreams such as Unicorns & Dragons. To your mind’s 7th eye, you would not miss a thing with strong faith. Trust would always be broken usurpers and betrayers and traitors. One must be still to listen to “Dragon – speak”, secure and sure and that was one thing Stephanu had faith, trust and belief for him by Elle .

Parian took up guard. tKOSS surrounded the ward ,at the GHS. The grandparents began to arrive.

Elle felt spaced out. She accepted their kindness and love. Stefano entertained and made sure everyone could say “hello” and see the new arrivals.

Gio sat on the other side of Elle , in the prime position beside her. They played happy families.

Stefano said adieu to his “Muffin ” ,JJ & J,and Giovanni. HE congratulated him once more. He knelt down beside Elle ,he took her hand and looked into her eyes. He placed his own gold band , in her palm . after removing it from his own hand. He had taken her hand , as if he was just gesturing to say ” good- bye”. She closed her hand over it, keeping it safe from sight. He leaned over ,kissed her cheek, brushing by her ear he whispered ,”when you are ready, wear this for me. It maybe all, I can give you”. He stood up, smiled , winked , looked at Gio , who had missed the exchange. He said he would be back shortly.

Gio sat and smiled. His head was really sore. They were all being so loud. Thankfully, Jade was sleepy and quiet. Over and over , the events of the previous night, went through his head. The Trio, Yra and Ary had conspired to cheat him out of being with Ellarya . They had used the Diablo seeing waters to sabotage him. Yellow- Red fire explosions , from the Diablo 7 showered across the sky .

He thought he had been robbed and was more than overwhelmed at the thought of how he was duped. His “blindness “,amidst the Celebrations of ” Bonfire ” night. Clearly, they knew his weakness , yet another devastation.

Ellarya never let on, the devastation of his absence. She kept his secret to herself. Having burned the note he had left her,with its confidential and private information. Literally, the moment she had read it , she made sure it was gone. She did this for herself. As and when Giovanni, let her down , she could never use it against him. She knew where the remnants lay.The original still existed,she warned Gio to get rid of it! Elle loved him .She would not see any harm come to him .No matter ,the circumstances. No matter , his cruelty to her .

ELLARYA , never thought her childhood , friend : GIOVANNI would let her down in this way. She hoped against hope. She believed his excuses , the alternative was too painful. He was deliberately sabotaging her, for ARY.

She had not quite been “blind-sided” , as GIOVANNI thought or felt. She knew it was coming, before it happened.Ellarya really did love Giovanni Octavio Niccodemus . She decided the best thing was just “Let Him Be”. Hope , faith and believe : one day, he would come and make things right., in spite of Ary and now Yra, as well.

YRA & ARY had struck Gold. The Trio danced. Ellarya was devastated, by Gio’s absence. You can’t imagine , just how much she missed him ,at that moment, in their lives. She allowed Parian, with his kindness ,care, to just take over ,protect and be with her. When thinking back, she couldn’t quite remember the exact moment , she felt that she loved Parian. She just knew, she did.

The Celestial 7 looked down. The Celestial Jai ladder hit out.Celestial debris shot out and were dispersed. If you looked closely, amongst the fireworks light going off ,in the nights sky ,on Bonfire night, you will see the Celestial glow from their heavenly blue fire.

The Celestial 7 sent down the White Lightening Three, at the first breathe of JJ and Jaida.

Everyone was happy, at this precise moment in time.

YRA &ARY of course , fumed. How could Ellarya be happy? All the deliberate cruelty they had raged down upon her at her most vulnerable moment in her life!

Elle smiled and looked at her family. All her guys had arrived. Jankus strolled into her room with Tristan, Tristan and Parian , joining together as one. Steve behind them with a “big smile”. This one time , her guys came together for her, for Jasmine Jade , and her little sparkling, Drakling. They all watched as the two little arrivals snuggled and nuzzled and felt and inhaled each other! They laughed with the thoughts of them playing and being just good friends ! Just wait until they took to the skies.

Giovanni had his arm around Elle , the other held her hand. Her head on his shoulders. Every now and again he would give her a kiss , his way of saying to her : I am sorry . She knew. She never asked him to say it out loud, not once, not ever.

Celebrations blew away the devastations. Happiness flowed , this most happiest of joint Birthdays.

THE wind changed again. Stormy weather was on the way. Ary decided she had better visit Yra . Ary had crossed over .She stepped over the threshold of the dTHRC. She stayed with Yra . Plotting once more .

The Lightening Trio entered THRC and cleansed it, much the same way as Ellarya Prime.Elle always trying to bring light and love with her .Elle when she stepped over THRC threshold, she held Steve in her heart and believed, in the magic of the Man, his being. She had put his gold band safely away ,hidden from sight. She did, as he had told her .When the time was right, so many years later, Ellarya wore Steve’s band of gold.

Ellarya and Giovanni Niccodemus marriage , lasted 15 years. They were bonded into infinity by the dark bands that Giovanni had placed on Ellarya their wedding night .A night between them , made of love and passion , that travelled BEYOND TIME.
