Ellarya was calmed by Stefano. He had made sure Oryon’s Blood had coated every inch of her and within protecting the babies, putting two into hibernation and his Jade into development. He kissed Elle’s neck as she sat on his lap, their wings quiescent and overlapping by their sides. Her tears had finally stopped. Ellarya was in the last stages, of this elevation of her development as Shadow Prime. She had the flutterlanes becoming part of her emotions. The inherited pain of the Degenerate and its Filth. This was stored in special bands that remained closed and sealed until such time they were added, released, triggered. As Ellarya was now with child , the bands remained sealed , their sad contents and distressed away from her children. Stefano moved his hands down her torso and laid them flat lower down. Ellarya put her hands on his reaching and shifted. Stefano felt her and the mood changed within them both. The pond began to lap and beat waves. Oryon glanced over at them and withdrew. He flew out and up and roared. He went to call his own mate.

Stefano watched as Ellarya become alight with fire as he moved with her. They stood up and looked at the pile of hay in the corner . Ellarya blew a cool breathe and it froze. She coated Stefano’s feathers with light icicles and enticed him over. She picked up one of Oryon’s sharp white scales and closed her palm on it. She felt the pain and bleed and lite up. She joined Stefano and together they joined and ice water began to flow with the mixture of blood and sweat. The Cave was filled with the sentiment and smell of love and lust and Dragon’s blood. You could almost taste the emotions of them all in the air. A new life was on its way and Stefano was more than overjoyed.

Oryon’s Cave was a vast myriad of smaller caves and trickles of streams that carried different qualities and properties from the different regions of this Magickal World. The hoard was vast. Admiral Stefano was not just the Captain of the Chinta Rose alone. He had a fleet, a WHITE Light “Pirate” Fleet. The treasure within these Caves spanned many lifetimes not just the present age. IT spanned the last 7 ages of time. These Butterflaires belonged to the World of Elves. In their humanoid form , their ears are pointy. Their skin translucent and of lighter , more delicate textures with a glow that ranged from fair to dark. Elves found in all tones and colours and heritages. The treasures from these different worlds and magickal beings. Stefano took Ellarya to the Indus Cave where the scents and flavours of the Indus Valley prevailed;these caves held the heritage of her own origins. Water that flowed from the origins of “Annapurna” itself. Ellarya had some of “her” qualities, dangerous and difficult to ascend. The colours of Holi celebrations delighted the eyes. This year coming Holi bonfires and Bonfire Night of the Autumn Season prevailed on the same Night.

Elle and Stefano enjoyed the Delights of the Indus Valley Alcove and its contents and found a copy of The Kama Sutra. Stefano gave Ella , a knowing glance and said this is how we are going to live the rest of our lives. A way of life and love and enhancement to enlightenment. Enjoying the duality of being a couple. Ellarya was exotic and supple with Stefano. She danced for him and played with him. He was a traveller of many lands but here he felt a peace and inner depth of connecting with Ellarya. She gave without prejudice or thought and she loved him with no restraints. She touched him deeply. The aromas of the art of love with the divine scents of spice and intensity , enveloped them both as they continued to explore one another.

THEY felt him. Giovanni was on his way back. We are many years back from the present , but the Seasons the same. The Autumn Equinox upon them. He was returning to check on Ellarya. Time to head back. Oryon had left. Ellarya said that she had to go see Alagron before they left. She connected with him and advised him to continue with the elusion vision for Giovanni that she was in the Tower and skirting from there to her parents GHS and the Village charity shops. The ChessterFields both dark and light were getting posed for the incoming battlements of Old Hallows Eve.

Giovanni was happy in the knowledge that his spells had worked. Stefano was no where around Elle and she was busy working. He found that her visits to go THRC were not daily. This struck him as odd. He figured ,Ary was in one of her moods . Everyone just decides to keep clear. Ary claims, she has no control over her emotions and their reactions. Truth is , she does and used it as a tool to manipulate and threaten. Love and respect for her talents, everyone just let it ride. Ary held the knowledge and sadness of the Degenerate who lashed out Filth. She felt it ; so everyone decided that it was best to keep quiet in things they didn’t quite understand and support her “tantrums”. Araswati ‘s tongue was sharp and cutting and there was only Ellarya who could stand it on almost daily basis. Stefano only in short and sharp bursts. His Ary as he remembered her , had seemed to vanish. He missed her. He always left him. She always found something, or someone else more important than him and took off. HE would love to have her back , he found solace with Ellarya . How to make that last, he was not quite sure. Jade would bind them together into parenthood, it did not mean she had to stay with him.

Ellarya was working very hard. Working in her Herebral Alchemist post and taking care of Ary was basically two full- time jobs. Giovanni was pleased , with her taking care of Ary, his ” cockroach crush” on her intact. Gio would be back for the weekend. He was going to surprise his hand-fast wife. He could hardly wait. He was so very pleased with himself that his spell had finally worked.

Stefano and Elle had 3 days to get themselves and Ary sorted. Stefano would not let Elle and himself depart without trying out some of the suggestions from within the Kama Sutra pages. The sultry tastes and emotions of the Indus Valley took an exciting emotional roller coaster for them both. They stayed a couple of days in that Alcove.

Elle and Stefano emerged from Oryon’s Cave. They looked up. Below the highest peak of the 6 peaked range , the 4th one in , Oryon emerged from yet another Cave. He had been with his mate also. Stefano smiled with the knowledge and insight.

They rushed into Alagron’s Cave and Alagron was bursting with joy to see Ellarya . They both came in and as per the custom of presentation of this Cave and its host- they both prostate themselves in their humaniod Butterflairy and Scarabflairy forms. Ellarya was summoned . Stefano was beaconed to take a comfortable seat. He watched as Alagron tasted and enticed Ellarya and renewed their connection. He watched as like a ballerina she twisted and performed for him. The fireballs mixed with sweat and blood. Her flavour dissolving on this tongue, inhaling through his nostrils , touching and feeling within his heart that joined them. She twisted and turned and enraptured them both. Alagron’s tongue utilized as an acrobat’s apparatus. Steve watched and held his breath, with some of the more daring manoeuvres. He never knew. Alagron deposited a dripping and inviting Elle in front of Steve, for him. She knelt down before him and bowed to him and said to him the word’s she had never uttered to any male species or kind: ” My Lord”! She humbled herself before him. An act of pure love and devotion , not because of a promise , because of the being he was and was to her. Stefano lifted her up , he held her in his strong arms, feathered wings. He pulled her inside them , so he could hold her close to him. He walked steady and strong with her in his arms and wings. They entered the Guard’s room. The dark branches of the brown vines closed and sealed the entrance. Hearts became one and pain within each of them from their own partners , were momentarily cast aside. Juices flowed red and purple and cobalt blue. Dispersed within them both, exchanging and interacting with their inner selves with one another. Connecting to each other in ways, Stefano made sure would keep Ellarya enthralled with him for quite some time. Protection and 7th Eyes all intact. Elle more than humbled herself to Steve Beaumont; she gave herself to him completely. This one and only time. No one else had ever achieved that with her. The qualities of Annapurna , Ellarya Sierra was more than most to have her be humble and conquer. Stefano had found the path through to her heart and soul of this Butterflairy’s mountain fortress. Silver and gold tickles joined the forces of flow and energy that connected them.

It was time to find the Chinta Rose and return “home” to Ary. Once back on deck,the Admiral advised Ellarya to go rest in his bunk ,in his quarters and wait for him. with a very “wicked smile”. He put the ship on transmediate directions ,so it self propelled and drove itself back the route they came. He joined her in his quarters for their return trip. Another blissful interlude, before arriving back into their ” real world”.

Back on the pond, the Chinta Rose went down in its bubble and emerged in THRC. They fluttered up and out ,into a huge mess. Ary was on the floor and could not get up. Ellarya calmed her down. She was cursing and swearing and lashing out. She was top heavy and could not get herself turned upright. Shards of magical power sliced through the air. It shattered some of the wood work . There were splinters everywhere. Mimi and Mini went and cowered in the Dragon Alcove. Shyvra was beside herself with anger for Ellarya ,for leaving her mistress in this way. Ellarya didn’t shove crap down her gob and make her , how she was- she did that all by herself with secret excursions and binges. She hid food.

Ellarya’s healing and herebral professionalism , kindness and care with all the love she could muster: went over and gently turned her and advised her how to push herself up again. Ellarya got tea. She whisked around cleaned up and ran out to the stores to get the required supplies and all was well. Stefano marvelled at the kindness and expedience with which she took care of Ary. Steve knew it was all for him.

Stefano sat with Ary while Ellarya had gone for the supplies. He had a brief visit with Ary and said he needed to return to his own domain. He was LIVID with Ary for putting on weight and neglecting herself .He ranted at her and berated her in the worst way. No way to treat someone who carried such hurt and despair within her. He was not kind to her at all, just hoping it would give her the kick up her huge backside to sort herself out. He actually missed her. The harsh words spurted out, were ones coming from his own hurt, dismay and frustration and not being able to help her himself. He had to rely on Ellarya and her generosity. How long would that last? Stefano partially loved Elle, for this.That was how it sort of started and they developed from there. He cared for Ellarya and always would. He would make sure , they would always be friends. He looked at his Ary and tears fell with frustration and anger. Elle heard about it all , when she sat with Ary, in one of their sessions. She played the scene for her , but that was some time away.

Before leaving , Steve checked on the drakes, Mimi and Mini. He ran into Ellarya as she had just returned , outside the Butterflairy Tree. He took her in his arms swooped her up in a crushing hug and whispered to her, “My Muffin you are carrying our little Jade, she is our little Muffin. ” She saw his tears and wiped them. Ellarya looked at him. She questioned him: “You are happy ? “He was. He nodded and kissed her and hugged her. He promised her all was going to be well. He would see her soon. He left. Elle had a feeling it was going to be sometime before she saw him again. She hugged him and kissed him back, not wanting him to leave. She never wanted him to leave. With a slight tear in his eye, he made his way to Mount Lilley Hill.

The Chinta Rose had shrunk right back down .Steve had picked her up off the THRC ‘s Hessian South Sea Carpet, the ocean swirls having died down back into its Special Cobalt Blue Hessian strands,with its special magickal sea properties within the Carpet. The Chinta Rose , he put her in a glass bottle with just a touch of the South Sea Water to cradle her. She went back on the mantle at Steve’s place. A small shelf by his simple Hearth. There also stood a portrait of Chintamani, the lovely lady , Admiral Beaumont named his ship. A true friend of his and his mother , much of his life. A mother figure to both him and Ellarya , alike. Elle just loved her. She passed an Ocean away, a long time ago now. There isn’t a day that passes that her loved ones don’t miss her. Chintamani was strong, and gifted and beautiful and she adored all her children and her friend’s children. One son in particular, held a special place in her heart and that was Stefano. It was reciprocated, his prize ship named after her.

Ellarya sighed, wiped away her own tears and went back for tea . Sat with Ary. Elle was thrilled she was having a little bud Butterflairy and her name was Jade. Ellarya had bought some Jasmine tea. She sat feeling somewhat tranquil and at peace and smiled at Ary. Ary was silent and gave Elle the cold treatment for being away. She re- lived , Stefano’s hurtful words as she sipped tea and fumed inwardly. She controlled her emotions and temper and let it simmer.The Kurgha , felt Ellarya Sierra’s pregnancy and was very pleased about Jade. She loved her too. This calmed her inner temper . Stefano had sobered her. She had been in a depressive state. Such outbursts , can backfire and are not wise, when dealing with a hurt and tortured soul HOWEVER, a new sweet and lovely time was going to be upon them all with the coming of Jade. The place was clean. The hearth let off a warm glow. The Drakes :Shyvra and Mimsha were resting. The Dragon Eggs were off nesting . The smell of Jasmine tea prevailed.

Giovanni returned and walked into this delightful scene. Oblivious to the turmoil and disaster that had just occurred. He paid tribute to the PRIME, who finally broke her icy silence with Ellarya. Giovanni came over and hugged his hand – fast wife and sensed Jade. He looked at Ellarya and said, “why didn’t you send word ,my Love “. She replied , “I only just realized and what luck, you are here. We have found out together”. Giovanni was delighted with the news. His Elle was having his Jade. Thus ,the illusion was cast and kept.

Stefano smiled. He had Giovanni over a barrel. Elle’s and Jade’s security guaranteed. He went home and created beautiful songs for his family that only they could hear. Ary heard them too and the green eyed monster grew another head. Giovanni saw this and decided it was time to take his Ellarya home and leave Ary to all her bad moods to herself and the drakes. Not something, he ever did often. Usually, he would insist that Ellarya stay and cheer Ary up and not return until she was content once more.

Shyvra took The Kurgha out for a ride. The Kurgha Dowager was a master DrakonRyder. There were few who could match her skill. Mymsha , flew out and over the land to the Caves where her brood of Eggs lay . The dragon eggs were within the nest and warm and cosy. The three side by side, they all glowed but only one had its heart beating and blood flowing, the other two were snuggled in sleep until they were called by their Ryders. Jade’s Drakling was named Jaida. Jade and Jaida shared the 7th Eye and a heart. Jade’s being a double heart liker her parents. They had Oryon’s protection and were bound to their true parents always. Giovanni did not need any false connection with Jade. They were family already and he loved her all the same. Giovanni decided that he needed to be sure of something.

He rushed home to be with Ellarya at their home. He had missed her. He said, “My Love,before we leave THRC, can we play a brief visit to our Honeymoon Suite”? Elle was intrigued, by his suggestion. Before they left Ary, they both cleared up, brewed her another pot of tea. Made sure all her needs were catered for and left. They snuck up to the Butterflairy Tree Trunk.

Ary frumped off on her drake.She still didn’t approve of their relationship.

The Butterflairy Tree Trunk was all a glow. The Fireflairydraklings were buzzing around in array of glittering display of sunshine yellow, orange, red and shades of purple and light blue and white. Light Blue and white being Giovanni’s house colours. The scent of Pine , Sandalwood & Eucalyptus in the air. A feeling of serenity and calming waters. Giovanni had Elle s own piano music playing in the background to serenade them. She was surprised. She had not realized, he used to sit and listen to her play. She didn’t know because he never let her see that he was listening to her. She played best by herself. He told her they had no secrets and she could always come to him with anything. He loved her always. He gave her a light and refreshing light nectar. Conjured up from dandelions and elderflower , it had light refreshing quality about it. He danced with her , like that first night , when he took her to the place out in the stars where their love began. The colours of the aura were simulated by the FireflairiesDraklings breathe.

Ellarya glided herself to lie down. She slid off her attire. She could feel the heart of the Dark Drake , with its white heart strings and turned to Alagron , who was in position. He said on the bed’s headboard as he did their Wedding Night.It was clear, Giovanni had requested his presence. This was going to be new for them all. Giovanni had his false connections, but he was Alagron’s Ryder so he had inner connections that went to that first breathe that they both took together as they came into the world simultaneously. As Ryders are “birthed”, their Drakes are hatched. Ellarya crept and slide down onto the coolness of their wedding night bed. She was still ,on the bed spread-eagle with her wings stretched out and open. She looked up into Alagon’s Eyes ,as his tongue ‘s tip just outside the corner of his mouth , not to be obvious that he was tasting and sensing the air around her. His tongue dripped, with anticipation of her taste. His Eyes glowed. His heart beat fast. Ellarya’s heart beat along with his. She began to burn. She began to sweat and glisten. She began to ooze with blood. Her Silver and gold within her blood glittered and sparkled. Her blood was now the same deep purple that were in the veins of Stefano’s white angel wings. Her purple blood with its silver and gold sparkles , the essence of her celestial and magickal being. Giovanni and Alagron marvelled in her aura which lite up the room with a purple misty haze.

Ellarya changed her horns sprouted , her wings were pinned down by Giovanni. She bleed fire. He brought her to the brink and building up heat as her flames laced higher. Wings pinned down and her flames engulfing him, as he hovered above her. He kissed her. She was open and exposed for Giovanni. He settled himself down beside her. Kissed her. again. His hands and wings roamed and played . Exploring and squeezing and pressing all her crevices and peaks. He felt his way down, her curvaceous features in a teasing manner , taking a somewhat tortuous playful touch. He allowed his hands to hover gently and touch her lower regions. Ellarya ‘s horned tailed , feeling and caressing him as he paused over the region where Jade lay nestled and secure. Giovanni rolled Ellarya over to the side edge of the bed, in one fluid and swift motion he swivelled , pulled himself into an outstretched position , beneath her. He rolled her back over him with his head nestled between. He unpinned her wings . He reached and wrapped his wings around them both. He went deep into Alagron’s 7th EYE and smelt and felt Ellarya . He felt their combined hearts, thinking it was only part of the moment. Alagron’s mouth parted. He took in the lovers’ beneath him . Alagron was hovering over them both. His swift tongue darted down between Allura’s outstretched and eagle spread self and touched Giovanni’s 7th EYE. In that precise moment, Giovanni’s tongue came out as a the Dragon’s forked, flicked tongue. Giovanni had himself well positioned for what he was about to do. His now forked, draked tongue delved within Ellarya , he was looking and sensing the baby’s origin. He breathed in her fire and spat and consumed her blood ; his tongue gently roamed around , slithered and touched and breathed within her. Giovanni pulled back his draked forked tongue. Released the trance and his tongue was his own. He looked at Elle who just laid still , she had allowed herself to relax and become one with his senses as they ignited and connected within her. She knew he had sensed that she was connected to Alagron. Had he worked it out? Her thoughts racing as the sensations rippled through her in wave like pulses. Giovanni sending her these emotions and feelings with his explorations . More than pleasing, new heights were found by them both. Giovanni felt his seed and delighted that the baby was his. He had a gentle , rather tame coming together with his hand- fast wife. It was definitely tame from what they had done before, in their honeymoon suite. Giovanni had felt his baby ,not understanding that , Elle was carrying 3 babies: one was Giovanni’s , one was Jade who belonged to Stefano and one belonged to TRISTAN. Ellarya set aside her worries and enjoyed the attentions of her hand -fast husband. She pleased him back with equal endeavor.

Stefano was quiet in his place ,having gone to rest. He knew Jade remained encapsulated and safe. Her origins, only detectable by him.The spells, the protection ,the encounters that bound them all ,had been a success . Only each babies father could detect their own child. This was the way it was. Stefano was the only one , who knew of the existence of the 3. Knowledge of the 3 , also was granted to THE PRIME: The Kurgha , the Celestial 7,the Diablo 7, the Twinned Guardians: M&M, the Higher Council, as well as ,the parental and higher Drakes. Stefano tried not to think that Giovanni had returned to “be” with her.

Ellarya was going to have 2 heiresses and 1 heir along with 3 little sparkly , firey Draklings. Each father had the responsibility to one child. 3 children. 3 fathers. 3 new and lasting bonds .What abilities were these 3 little buddlings Butterflaries going to have with 3 little fire sparklings to come.

It was sometime before Ellarya and Giovanni left the Butterflairy Tree trunk, that night.Ellarya attempting to insist that they had to return home. She wanted to return to her own chambers to be alone with her thoughts of Steve and the re- live their recent adventures in the Dragon Caves. They didn’t listen. Giovanni and Giulio were still in the throws of entanglements with Elle . She moved with them and decided it was best to just be lost with them in their pure indulgence of their surrounding and proess. The Drakling fireflaires continued to dance their heated dance , long into the early hours of the following morning. Ellarya succumbed to her hand – fast husband and his twin’s demands. He had a way of getting around her. She couldn’t think around him sometimes. He did things to her inside and out. When together, they became addicted to each other. They fed off shocking one another. Trying to outdo each other in a power play of games. IT was the strangest of love and marriage and friendship , occasionally , lust and anger that made theirs a unique relationship. Neither of them had to explain themselves to anyone but each other. One would not be without the other for long. They would just look and fall together. Giovanni held true onto his hand -fast wife through the ages of time, as they had promised each other so very long ago. Ellarya sometimes in her anger and disappointment when Gio left her for his work and other family , those memories escaped her. She missed him and would not remember why. . Giovanni let them be opened to her as their time together passed and the memory of their first marriage restored to her time and time again. She knew, he would not willingly let her get away from him. His dark side keeping her on edge and his leash. Her dark side kept the bonds and the leash intact. They both enjoyed the darker side of their relationship ,that salacious enjoyment they craved and found within each other. A togetherness of an entirely different kind through space and time of the ages. Their bonds were of light and dark which meant love and bondage with each other and to each other. They were very ,very weird together. When together they were the best of friends, the worst of enemies ,the kind of binding love and hate that transcended space and time.

Stefano’s dreamt of Elle with Alagron, with Oryon, within the Indus Valley Cave and “quarantined” in his Cabin bunk on his ship, with HIM! He felt and saw how she had humbled herself before him. She had more than just a piece of his heart, he held in his, a part of hers. He had no idea , how he managed to crack her hardcore shell. No one else had done so, not in any lifetime before. With the deepest of humility ,of the esteem and affections with which she displayed for him, in his sleep, he shed tears of joy and happiness for Elle and rejoiced in their Little Muffin, jasmine tea-Jade as she would forever be known as JJ.

The Celestial 7 rejoiced. The Diablo 7 were in conference. When someone stoops down, declares and humbles themselves before the heavens and the Universe , they gain knowledge and elevation. Without knowing it , Ellarya had opened and activated her last band that was needed to become a Prime. This is not something that is taught or told. The candidate either achieves it or not. In order to be a leader , you place yourself below everyone. Only then can you arise to achieve leadership. Love does that. Elle loved Stefano , no one was ever going to take that from her or him. The Kurgha had always thought Elle’s love and care for her would bring her to kneel before her first. Lord Umbral Admiral Stefano Beaumont had achieved what the Celestial 7 had deemed impossible. Ellarya was stubborn, wilful, coy and got what she wanted by standing up , not standing down. The Universe did not ever see her achieve and open her final band. Stefano was very pleased she had humbled herself before him. NO one had ever done that for him. No one. How this young and vibrant Butterflairy just gave up everything for him and handed it over to him, he was not quite sure why. He just knew, she did actually love him with all that she was .The Kurgha had contrived to receive that accolade from Elle herself. She didn’t get it. Stefano won her heart and her humility. Her bands opened , the heavens’ poured with rain to wash out and flush out the old. Flourish and nourish with the dawning and rise of Ellarya Sierra Shadow Prime Morning Star, chosen and cherished child.

Araswaati Dowager and Shyvra had not returned. They had gone to see Mimsha and her nest of Dragon eggs. The Chanting of Monks, the old Gregorian chants, the Hums of the Messiah played. The chanting and the Chanting Daggers from the Amythyst Mountains vibrated and called Ellarya. They usually only called to the Prime, not the Shadow Prime. It was a premonition chant that there was going to be a changing of the Guard and Guards. Only Ellarya and one other heard the chant from the Enchanted Amythyst Daggers. It was a warning of betrayal, subterfuge and the darkest of intent against her.

War was coming.

TRISTAN heard the daggers. He had been summoned by the Universe.

Footnote: “Annapurna (/ˌænəˈpʊərnəˌ -ˈpɜːr-/;^[3][4] Nepali: अन्नपूर्ण) is a mountain situated in the Annapurna mountain range of Gandaki Province, north-central Nepal. It is the tenth highest mountain in the world at 8,091 metres (26,545 ft) above sea level and is well known for the difficulty and danger involved in its ascent.”From Wikepedia

Ellarya looked around Alagron’s Cave. Giovanni had a vast hoard. It was stuffed with trinkets – some large, some small , all of some sort of fabulous gemstone , or of a similar nature. The hearth was large and warming. It had a Magma Sapphire Heart Crystal that was always aflame. It came from the depth core of Rosedrop World and maintained the ambience and temperature needed for Alagron’s comfort and well being. He had his own pool of Honeydew water , which ran fresh from the mountain range direct from the Diablo Double Helix. It had hints of the Celestial droplets as well. It was a must, to maintain the balance necessary for the Rosedrop World existence. In a small recess on the Opposite Side , Ellarya found Giovanni’s Camp. He had a lovely bed and all the indulgent trappings he so desired around it. He had his own bathroom that was hidden behind a Vined Ivy Alcove. The Vined Ivy dripped with a blood like substance that oozed from its deeply red flowers that emerged from the Vines like beaded chains. The blood red nectar trickled down into a small sink , hidden in the recess of the vines, the same color . The Redsink had a drain with a stopcock to redirect the Nectar into a vial or flask. The Nectar run off then flowed outside, where it evaporated once it hit the fresh air. The Vines themselves were a dark and deep blood red, almost black. In there he had some of Ellarya’s belongings that she thought she had misplaced. A perfume bottle, one of her Favourites (a small bottle of Cartier scented perfume) , a necklace her mother gave her (circular gold chains that were flattened where they joined- unique and intricate- Ellarya had misplaced that as a child – it had been given to Stefano, by their Moms many years before ;Giovanni- took it off him ,must have been when he went and smashed up Steve’s place . Found it with Elle’s array of correspondence ) and a waistcoat timepiece that she had bought him and had engraved: Love Beyond Time. She was surprised to see her two items-both precious to her. But he had them with her gift to him, their wedding night. He kept them safe and together. She left them be and didn’t touch them. She found his catchet of tricks , he used to entice people to his way of thinking. She saw the copies of the NDAs, hadn’t realized there were so many. Made her sad. She missed him terribly when he left her. Her parents were away. Her siblings off living their own lives with their families and work. Steve was down in the depths of his own work and Giovanni had left. She had her own work but it was summer and she could spare some time away. She decided she was going to stay with Alagron and make sure that his captured heart remained hers. She had to keep transforming into her humanoid horned self. This was the way Alagron liked her best, as a Butterflairy she was too small and delicate for him to hold . She would sometimes float up and sit on the tip of his nose and wave her appendage tail to tease him and make him sneeze. Fly up to his Left Eye so he could see her clearly and blow him a kiss. He would blink and wink and snort-saying to her, change now , so , I can see and delight my senses with you again. How to entertain a dark Drake with a good heart string flowing through it. Ellarya kept him entertained with music, with art , with games. She would have him fly out over their Chessterfields and he would send a blaze to roll the dice and have the fields in an uproar as a battle ensued. The BatDrakes would come away and fly with them , as would the FireflairyDraklings. ( fireflies that breath fire, the ones that glowed so , her wedding night )

Steve was in a right old “state”. The Kurgha Dowager, was getting more demanding. She had no one to help her and was starting to really put the screws in about one thing or another. She was never happy with him and always had to put something or someone else first before him. This was their life and for the most part he just accepted that was the way it was and he had no choice. She would constantly leave him. He adjusted to the “single” life , but it was a charade. IT made him unhappy. was upset that Elle had disappeared without a word . She created stink. She sent out call after call after call. She didn’t want to cook, clean or do anything but eat ,snacks . She sat and worked . She was so very gifted . She was really a lovely person deep down just when it came to Ellarya – she sort of lost the plot. Ellarya was really Steve’s friend first, all along and she didn’t like it. Ary did her best to come between them all the time with the demands of work , of learning, of spending time with her. Ary as Prime had to deal and fight off the Filth from the Degenerate. When you take over as Prime, these histories are passed to you and you hold the flutterflairy field lanes , as well as the tributaries of the Butterflairy tree streams, that keep all the strings, and streams of the Rosedrop World in place. In these strings and streams , through the Ones of the Filth,she saw the degenerate and their activities. The crimes, the pain , the victims- some died, some had to be put back together. She saw and felt the trauma from this time and time gone past. In certain circumstance, she could feel it in the future . She could alter time. She could prevent pain and suffering. She had the ability to transgress and heal and turn and change events. She held the visions of the Inquisition through time and space that touched the World of Wiccan. She held that all in her mind and her heart. It made her humble and demure. Araswati Prime was “SIMPLY THE BEST”, at her job. ( She did not ever surpass , Dhanya’s innate and natural abilities or those of her Dhanya’s cherished child) Ellarya was to be passed all of this and the passing occurred day and night and was more difficult for Ary , if- she was not around! Ary missed her. Ary and Elle were good friends in spite of everything; very good girlfriends. Elle loved coming and making sure her friend had everything. She hoped that Stefano would see and understand , everytime she crossed Ary’s threshold , she was doing this for him first and foremost. It did not mean she didn’t love or care for Ary she did. Stefano would always have a small piece her Elle’s heart and visa versa. Elle just soaked up the knowledge.

Stefano decided it was time to look for his Muffin. When 6 weeks had gone by and Ary was disorganized, irritable, and her place had a layer of dust. Tuffles , successors: Mimi and Mini were shunned and shooed outside most of the time. Her work had deteriorated and everyone waiting for stuff was complaining. Giovanni shouted the loudest , his charity work was on hold. The press was waiting for the stuff to be printed up and released and he had no ARTWORK! He was going nuts. Giovanni , rarely raised his voice. He was the quite , calm, ice cold steel type , behind those Golden Blue Eyes of his- always fire and ice, jekyll and hide within him.

Giovanni decided it was time for another one of his “private sessions”.Off on one of his escapades: Ellarya called them his ” little trips” . He went off often, on his other wife( not her )on these escapades. Sometimes, he would call her to him to be with him and watch him. When he visited back rooms to watch the gifted performances of Burlesque Dance. He would look but never touch, his rule. He really enjoyed beautiful sensual women and had a sort of love / hate relationship with them. Something, his other wife would force him to get a grip. .It was his way, when , he was out on the road. His time on the road,as far as Ellarya was concerned,as with his other family. (Not her). He would never do that to her. It was ok though when he brought her along. They had lots of fun together- that she didn’t mind. Funny how, one adjusts and let love keep them ” Naive and Gullible”. She was in many senses very naive and gullible. She never actually saw them as so very mean and cruel, which in reality they all were including Araswati. Deep in the recess of Ellarya’s mind and heart was The Promise- a cry for help from a mother for her one and only beloved and cherished son. She would leave him one person in this world who would love him , stand by him to the world and say simply- I love you and mean it for himself.

(Muffin did not need a promise for or from anyone to help Steve.)

Into Alagron’s Cave flew in a Lyopart. It was quite a large one with its own set of wings. Very impressive Lion’s mane of Rainbow Colours and body of a Leopard with its gold skin and black and green spots. The Wings shimmered the colours of the Rainbow. Ellarya knew the Lyopart had been sent by Stefano for her . She bid a parting farewell to Alagron and promised to see him soon. She said she had to go to check on her home, her Prime , her own Dragon and she would talk to him every night before she went to sleep. She would keep him company in dreamscape with Mymsha and their glowing Eggs. (She didn’t get why they glowed , thought that was they way they were meant to be. )He would not be alone. Ellarya decided to leave her ” happy songs” playing , so, the essence of white light would keep flowing through his white heart strings , in the changing once dark and blackened heart. They would feel more than connected ,all of them. Alagron was pleased. He nodded and gave her permission to leave with Goldy, the particular name of this Lyopart. Goldy allowed Ellarya on her back in her humanoid form and flew her straight to Stefano’s at his place.

Ellarya transformed to her Butterflairy self and flew to Steve. He was waiting and he flew into her arms. She hugged him. She had missed him. He kissed her and tasted the change within her. He looked into her Eyes and through to her spirit. He kissed her , deeply. He let his scarab wings entwine with hers. He held onto her , let his hands roam , around and down her length. He delicately played with her wings. He stooped down and looked up into her visage and took in her body , her shape, her wings and felt elation and joy. He stood up and kissed her again. He whispered to her , “we have to go”. He lead her to the Hessian Blue Oval South Sea Carpet. There was a small ship in the middle of the Carpet. Stefano said,”” hold on”. The ship grew and expanded. He held Ellarya. He said hover up with me, and raised her into the air, and onto the ship’s deck, as it grew. There , on the deck , the whirling waters of the Carpet , became the South Sea. The ship went under in a protected bubble and came up in the pond , which was Ocean Waters. The Butterflairy Tree stood on the South Sea Shores in the front garden of the Royal Residence of Rosedrop World. THRC beneath was part of its domain.

The Ship with its Sails opened , it took to the air -up and up. Stefano directed the Ship. He was Captain- Lord Admiral Stefano Beaumont was at home on his ship: The Chinta Rose. Lord Admiral , as it was his duty to defend the waters of Rosedrop World, the air above the waters, from the dark forces ‘attacks. The Chinta Rose was a sight to behold , a full sized ship with elegant sails, Captains quarters and room for a crew and storage below decks. He had the position on the higher deck with the Captain’s Wheel. The main mast went up and up with its grand sails billowing in the sea air. HE sailed the sky and the seas. Stefano could reach up into the Stratosphere, with this ship to look down or up , take in the Universe. Stefano had access to reach the Jai ladders and talk directly with Celestial and Diablo 7. He could sit and have a “Parlez” with them all. On this particular excursion , he was heading towards Alagron’s Cave, Ellarya noticed. They had both transformed to their humanoid forms. Stefano and suitable attire for them both. He had a Velvet Dark Green Captain’s type Jacket. It had black and gold lapels and the buttons were brass. The end of the sleeves were embroidered to match the lapels. He worse on his Jacket, the symbols of both the Morning and Evening stars combined. The stars joined harmoniously. Ellarya could not fathom why he was taking her back to Alagron. He could not possibly know. This was true. Sterfano did not know about Alagron but he sensed the change in her .Thinking the drake affect , was off her own drake, who was being affected by Shyvra, because Ary was in disarray. It wasn’t that alone. It was the scent of the Cave within the Dark Mountains, from the mist there. The mist from these Caves and Mountains had a way of penetrating through into you. It reminded you that they had been there longer than you and held some of the Secrets of Rosedrop World and its vast Hoards which belonged the Drake’s Ryder. Ellarya had on a simple light Pink Rose coloured dress with pretty flowers in a “William Morris” type design that was sliming and fitting with a low V shaped neckline, which just slipped over her. Flat Boots to match, of slightly darker shade of pink almost a light brown hue ,in Suede, with a light pastel green sweater of light wool and cotton , to keep the chill off her shoulders. Her dark and curly waves bouncing around her smile with one curl , always right in the middle of her forehead. Like the poem: “when she was good she was very very good and when she was bad ,she was what ? simply just as ” bad ” as she could be to the delight of the loves , in her life. Their outfits complimented one another: Steve’s from his mother, Ellarya’s from hers. The Moms left their mark and reminders of their promises to one another , in strategic places to be met and come across throughout their lives , once they had passed. Their reach was long and destined to reach to the next generation. Imagine those two with grandchildren. The children : Steve and Ellarya , did not stand any chance at all!

Ellarya, in her relationships, was not alone. They were consenting and they were adults in “lust” , with each other, if not love deep , deep affections with emotional and celestial/diablo bonds. Ellarya had started out very shy but stepped and grew into her sensuality. Dhanya told her and taught her daughter of these ways. Being of science and not so much of Art at the time, Ellarya , just put it all down to Dhanya’s “mutterings”. She did listen and learn,like all of it, not quite believing , any of it would come to pass. Especially Steve – he was well out of her reach, or so , she thought. It all came to pass. Predictions or planned appointed destiny written by the Celestial and Diablo 7. How to change the winds? the tide : create your own destiny . To take control as a woman in a man’s world and still be a lover , kind and caring spouse, ( mother to be- as yet she had not realized although those around her had) and “the chosen , cherished child” that she was. For the Prime ARY , who remained hidden from sight by choice. Her own choice. Just what must have been , that had upset the MOMs , when Ellarya was asked to make her Promise to & for : Steve. They let Ellarya be the one to step out into the world and be subjected to the elements and find a way through the fallout. Ary was Prime, she remained protected and rightfully, so. Her 2nd was to step up and out , as per position demanded. Ellarya was the one to face the professional and personnel ridicules and disciplinary procedures. The snide comments and sneers and jeers. The financial losses too . Ellarya did it with grace, lots of tears and despair at times. She did it , all of it :For the Love of Steve Beaumont.

Ellarya found a small stool sat back holding onto the side of the ship as it rocked and swayed slightly and looked at Admiral Beaumont . He guided his ship. His black long straight hair loose and flowing behind him. The reflection off the sparkles of his the gold in his jacket :”sparkle and shine”. He was as happy, as he could be ,at this precise moment in time. He loved Ellarya , as best he could, if only for the moments , they seemed to capture ,in time between them. The sea mist air spray , from the Celestial heavens, making the journey , slightly cool. He smiled and hummed and sang her all his lovely songs. Some she had heard. Some she had not. The new songs she had not heard before were the really special ones. His Songs were like children and he kept the most special ones close to his heart and not for general release. Ellarya was privileged. She loved him more if that was possible. Steve guided The Chinta Rose to a hidden lake , to side of the foothills just behind the entrance of the Alagron’s Cave. It was like a fjord that went deep into the mountain core and was a hidden passageway. He dropped the plank and guided Ellarya off. They transformed into their Flairy- winged selves and flew past Alagron’s Cave . Ellarya was surprised. Up the dark mountain to another opening higher up… She had not noticed it before. It was a smaller opening, hidden in the open by the shadow of the Great Dark Mountain. You had to know it was there to see it was an actual Cave. Steve guided his Muffin up to this , higher, smaller opening . Inside was a vast Cave. It was a Palace of Caves. It made Alagron’s look like a ” Cottage Cave” :smaller and delicate. Imagine a delicate Drake Cave. Steve and Ellarya entered ORYON’s Cave. Oryon was Stefano’s Drake. Oryon was KING of the Dragons. They both approached Oryon who had heard the fluttering of their wings. as they approached him. Before they entered the Cave proper. Steve took Ellarya, in his arms and said to her : “be one with me before we go inside, I need you to be with you”. They transformed and were one and slept through the rest of the night. They were in the front guards’ room within the entrance of Oryon’s Cave. As they awoke, ORYON summoned them to him. Stefano looked at Ellarya and got up .He revealed to her , his Angel Wings in his humanoid form that she had not seen before. His wings were white and glistening feathers with deeply dark purple veins. The purple came about and developed has his relationship with Allura grew. It represented his love for Ellarya not Ary. This was because Ellarya had stepped forth with him, out into the world and had declared her love for him. To the world ,they were “just friends”!To each other and a select few, much more than that. His dark black hair flowing down his back midway. His beautiful strong features and kind smile. He had on dark jeans and a dark t- shirt. He had a single necklace around his neck. He left his Captain’s jacket on the chair in the guards’ front room. The necklace was gold and held a St. Christopher medallion, a small one. It was one Ellarya had given him many moons ago before one of his trips into the Real World. The Patron Saint of Travellers’ to protect him always. ( he also had what Ary had given him , by way of protection and treasured deep within him- he would not have the career he had without her) Ellarya had to transform into her horned tailed self as Oryon had requested each of them to present to him transformed. Steve stood back and watched as Ellarya found a sharp stone and cut her palm. The pain caused her to transform. As she pressed it deeper she became aflamed and her blood spread and dripped around her wings and down her so she reflected sweat , blood and fire. Steve was transfixed. She had on a sheer black satin dress that clinged and blended with her so well, it looked as if she was there in the flesh and nothing else. They looked at each other , with renewed awe and respect , realizing that they both had hidden depths with each other yet to explore.

Steve and Ellarya , hand in hand , walked into Oryon’s Cave . Steve with his glorious white and purple veined wings holding onto Ellarya with her horned and tailed self with her wings and body ablaze and glistening with swear and blood. They walked into the Cave proper and there he was: A White Dragon, with a tail that turned and reflected all the colors of the Rainbow. THIS was a DRAGON OF LIGHT, hidden within the dark Cave mountains . This kept the balance. He seemed twice the size of Alagron. Steve bowed . Ellarya curtsied. Oryon viewed them both and asked Steve to release Ellarya to him. Ellarya felt herself being swept up much the same as Alagron had done to her. As she swept up her dress fell off and there she was seated on the brim of Oryon’s Nose. She sat side saddle. Steve could see her silhouette -horned and tailed and her wings spread out dripping of blood , sweat and fire. Oryon demanded she mount his snout properly. She sat facing him astride. Stefano went and put on his music. Ellarya was being hypnotized. Oryon ever so slowly was lulling her into trance. His tongue slithered out.

Dripping with Oryon’s saliva from every part of her, the King of Drakes, lowered her , satisfied he had knew everything there was to know about Steve’s Muffin. He returned Ellarya to him. He caught her in his arms and withdrew with her to to the pool within Oryon’s Cave, much like that in Alagron’s but twice the size. It had a heated pit region where,Steve sat with Ellarya as she came around. He washed her and kissed her tenderly. He said did she remember what had transpired. She nuzzled into him and nodded, she did and closed her eyes. She had gone on a trip , a flight with Oryon around his kingdom. He had taken her to Shyvra and Mymsha to see Araswati She had her learning of the past 6 weeks which had slowed down, accelerated and advanced by many years. Ellarya was given teachings and abilities that equalled those of her Prime. This was the role of the 2nd and Ellarya had to be trained . Steve was not going to have Ellarya without, under any circumstances. Their mothers’ had bound them and that was that. In trance and with his explorations of her entire: inside and out – the Dragon King was laying down a layer of protection around Ellarya, as she was becoming a shadow Prime. The protection was in his blood , trickles of his blood droplets that were spread through his saliva . Oryon’s blood droplets were absorbed into Ellarya’s bloodstream. The protection ran through her arteries and veins and through her double heart. She had double hearts: one silver, one gold that held the aura of two dragons. She had the protection and blood of the King of the Dragon’s and she had a small piece of Steve’s heart within hers. Ellarya’s babies including Steve’s child had been protected. Stefano had felt the unborn children when he kissed Ellarya at Kela Aheto. He felt his child, as well as the other two and happy about all 3. His baby was not going to be an only child. His baby was going to have a brother and a sister. His baby was a little girl and he named her JADE, immediately, once he knew she existed. It was their way that the moment a baby came into being , it was named. He was so very happy.

Ellarya Starchild , Shadow Prime came around on Steve’s chest in Oryon’s pool and cried in his arms. She felt Ary’s pain and tragedy. She clinged to him and decided she would do what she had to to keep The Promise and help her friends , all of them. She was going to be an agent of Light. The key to being a successful agent is to understand and dance with dark side- Ellarya had met the requirements thanks to Giovanni and Stefano both. Their mothers were all friends. Was this their doing or was it all planned at one of the Sister Moms’ Infamous Bonfire Nights.

The waters of the pool in Oryon’s Cave had special qualities. As Steve, washed and made sure the protection had been oiled into her , Jade began to grow and develop. The other two went into hibernated state, their development was put into suspension.. Stephanu felt that triplets was too much and he had Oryon help him with the necessary spells to keep all the babies safe and at time of choosing, or triggering , the next baby could develop- one at a time. The trigger had to come from the baby’s Dad. Each subsequent child would be named by their own father at the time of activation. Activation could only come from the father of the child. This would ensure only one baby would develop at one time. He was delighted about Jade and loved her immediately . Steve was a very special sort of guy, he loved all the babies his Muffin was carrying , he referred to them as his little Muffins. Jade was the first and the eldest and his and she would always hold a special place in his heart. Ary loved all Elle’s children , Jade was special and she was gifted to be an Artist too ,at Ary’s bequest, her special affection for Elle and her child by Stefano. A child was a child was a child and in this world- all children were treasured . Children in Rosedrop World and in the Royal Residences were a rarity and had been for the previous generation.

Coming into the present, as Old Hallow’s Eve and Bonfire Night now approach, the new Starchild Prime called on her Parian , the Royal Commander of the Guard and her husband with his guards ,tKoSS to be vigilant. Her position was to remain intact and protected. Kurgha Dowager was to remain encapsulated and roam the pathways between Realms , until the debt owed was settled and explained. NO one had a right to harm and deprive children, let alone kick a defenseless cat. The Beings between Realms on the desolate pathways- the Grey Creatures that dash between the shadows , needed to assure that Ary was safe and undisturbed.Ary had committed 2 unforgivable, inexcusable acts against Elle- which meant Elle could never return to her again ever, in any lifetime. Ellarya did not ask to be Prime- Aryswati gifted it to her,;something Ellarya never asked . She did accept and at almost the beginning of this tale, stepped into her role after 2 years of waiting patiently for time to advise her to do so.

Glamourous NANA remained as Steward and as head of the now Royal Family ( Parian’s and Ellarya’s) and acting state figurehead of Government. His two elder brothers , formed the advisory council along with Parian and the Celestial 7 and Stefano. Parian’s his adult children ( son and daughter ) from his first marriage also lived in the Royal Palace. They formed the Senate of the Government . Rosedrop world had governing bodies along with its Figurehead and Ellarya , the actual Prime. Collectively they all kept the business of Governing the Chessterfields and Rosedrop World engaged, in finding balance between dark and light. tKoSS kept everyone especially Ellarya Starchild Prime and her children all of them safe. Stefano’s protection and love endured. Giovanni’s wrath and troubles continued and Taylor with Parian’s lifeforce that had surrounded and protected Ellarya all those years ago , reached and did so again.

Ellarya kept working, honest work as a C- Level, Herebral Alchemist , this work keeping the dark at bay and the Light within her and her world alive. She held up the strings and helped guide the flutterflairy lanes that kept their world in balance from the opposing forces.Keeping love within her hearts for her friends, all of them , who let her down. Love was the key. She pulled them to her, kept them close to her hearts, their essences pumping through her double hearts and working in their worlds , they remained attached and their circle intact , which included who was in isolation and suspension . Araswati , encapsulated honeydew crystal globe- the very same , she had shown Ellarya, all those years ago . 💕🌹 Mimi and Mini were with her. She had her comforts within the Globe. She had a F.A.V. She had her art tools and paraphenalia. She also had 3 items of Elle’s : Jade’s Baby Hat, Dhanya’s sparkly blue scarf and Elle’s Circle Cloak which had been commissioned and paid for but never delivered. Giovanni had it for along time when he was very ill and far away. He was meant to bring it to her in the sacred alcove with the drakes on their Wedding Anniversary. One delay after another and the cloak was handed over the Celestial 7 for safe keeping.

Ellarya had been passed all the information required was within her and her bands. She had to work hard to keep them open and active and keep the dark forces from within at bay. She called on her drakes , she prayed to the heavens. She changed everything in the structure of her life and her beloved children to achieve what was deemed impossible. She took her place as Prime, as Parian’s wife. Parian was Commander of the Guard as well as Royal Consort and Ellarya s middle child, a daughter , was heir , prime in training and successor. Parian had been chosen as her paternal figure and he was the one who activated her being , quite by accident. Last child , was Giovanni’s: a son.

It was the next morning, Ellarya and Giovanni had returned to their home in the White Tower. Giovanni , slipped into Elle’s room , and slipped in beside her. This was not usual Ellarya awoke, looked at his gorgeous countenance that she loved so much and wished him a good morning. Slightly alarmed that he had worked out what she had done. He hadn’t a clue,Mymsha had covered everything with her antidote. Giovanni was amourous ; he knew the spell had not quite worked and could not figure out what was wrong. He figured maybe perhaps it would work in Elle’s domain.

He had slipped some of Alagron’s mix into her OJ ( a specialized Butterflairy nectar with Alagron’s flavourings)on the Breakfast tray he had brought into her. He had made it up himself. Ellarya was enjoying this new ,kinder side of Giovanni , him coming to her. Then she thought the better of it. Something was up and she had to get more of Mymsha’s antidote or the ” GIG ” would be up! She excused herself to her powder room and found the hidden vial in the vine leaves behind her Honeydew Crystal Mirror on the wall. She took it, just in time. Giovanni slipped in and slipped into her . He had Rossini’s William Tell Overture Finale playing.He said she looked to enticing for him and brought her back to her bedroom. He sat her down and handed her the morning drink to taste. Did she like it ? She did actually; she knew what was up, having had her own blend just before Gio entered into her privacy and space . Her powder room was exquisite. The same as Arasawti Prime with its own step in bathing pool. Beside it a soft and comfortable chaise lounge which Gio guided and placed himself and held onto Ellarya . She didn’t mind when he was ravenous ,insatiable all the things a loving partner should be, delicate and kind. Once back within her bedchamber,he changed again and put on Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Op. 20 Act 11 No.10 – Rough and ready , he had his way with Ellarya once more to collect and complete his intentions of his spell.

He brought her to the brink of changing- he just enjoyed that about her so very much. Greedy and hot and mystically inspired,Giovanni was going to make sure they would always be connected . It was that inexplicable need about possession he had always had about her. It didn’t matter the lifetime or the span of centuries- she was his beloved hand – fast wife and he actually treasured her more than he ever let her know. Part of control , to keep her longing , so she would never leave him. He guessed. He got that wrong , because he had to leave her . She clearly found refuge and companionship elsewhere. He didn’t know for sure , but, he could make sure – they weren’t ever together again. Even worse, this was his Cousin. Elle was a very sensual and caring Butterflairy. She loved being enraptured by Giovanni. He was unique to her in so many ways. She wished he didn’t leave her and go off on his “trips”. Ellarya’s antidote did the trick and produced a false connection and vision for Giovanni, so that he felt connected to her through the Dragons . It was a false connection , with her 7th Eye intact. Giovanni , duplicate self , had his way with Elle. These encounters were consensual and exquisite ,on the brink of sensual ecstasy for them both. Ellarya and Giovanni had a weird and wild way with each other . They spent the entire morning together , ending with 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky).

Later that afternoon, Giovanni satisfied. He had the control and insight into Elle’s mind and 7th eye , that he craved. He set out on another business journey. He said this one was going to be long. He would take short interval breaks to come back to her soon throughout the next year he said. Giovanni said he this trip would last 3 seasons of the year and he would be back at each change of the Season ie the Solstices or the Equinoxes. He said he would come back to celebrate with her and they would play all their tunes and be together for days. He looked at with that knowing gaze. She smiled at him. Ellarya didn’t smile very often. She missed him so very much when he left; she couldn’t handle it sometimes. She would dreamscape to Stefano and escape with him and be happy for short periods of time.Like most affairs, it had nothing to do with her “marriage” ; it was separate and could always come to an abrupt end . Lord Admiral Stefano had no intention of letting her go, ever , something Araswati Prime knew!

ELLARYA could not imagine her life without STEVE ,in it somewhere. She got that wrong. too.

Ellarya said celebrate ? He, said, his return to her and successful business trip of course. He gave her a knowing smile and left. Elle knew it was more but could not work out what it was. This would never do. She had just got around Mymsha”s antidote that kept her 7th eye her own and attached to both their dragons. She had to work out away to remain connected to Alagron even though he was Giovanni’s drake. One Drake.One DrakonRyder. This was not ever overcome ,unless you managed to break the connection or cause a “misconnection”. The ways to overcome or cause misconnection between a Ryder and its Drake were limited. You could kill the Drake, only its Ryder and partner would hear the final death breathes , whispers and screams. and the one causing the passing of a Great Magickal Creature. You could take the Ryder out, to pass, that is ,pass under the Wheel and before they passed , enter their 7th Eye and usurp and transfer the contents , to your own, including that of its Drake. ONE, other way to override a Ryder’s connection and to do that you had to enter the Dragon’s Cave.

Alagron’s Cave was at the base of the Dark D7 Mountain Range ,from behind Stephanu’s place.Through the Dark Forest trails ,to the Deep Dungeon Valley Chesster Fields with its Bronze Pagoda in the Center of the Field. Down each side, through vertical end rows of the Chesster Field ran a stream which had the run off from the mountains to the base of the Butterflairy Tree. The Chessterfield was at 3 levels with the Bronze Padoda stood , in the middle level . It was made of two tiers, each with its own mini field-boards. The Deep Dungeon Valley Chesster Field was a battle field to protect the balance and forces for which it stood and to travel through it one would have to play Chess with its particular Butterflairy special features: 3 levels, the Bronze Pagoda with its checkerboard and snakes and ladders level playing field., The Towers at each Corner of the Field from which Alagron’s Guardian DrakeBats . 4 additional guardian players on each corner Tower and with a roll of the dice to get up the Bronze Pagoda , you could play up and pass ,if reached the top then hop, skip and jump to one of the DragonBat Towers. Each DragonBat had its own quarter to protect and look over. They also moved with the roll of the dice. The dice being , the little dark hedgehogs that mossied and trudged about the fields. They would roll and the Chesster Fields, battlefield would shift and the streams flowed with moats around each Tower base. The battles within the Chesster Fields protecting its side domain , raged on!

Peace was a rare thing. Always somewhere , the was a war. Chaos reigned and the “Jesters danced.” ( American Pie by Don McLean)The Forces of White Life worked hard to keep things in balance as best they could .Like always , it is the little things in life, that bring the forces of good back into balance and harmony. Dhanya’s “Duances”. Nature relies on the green elements of this Rosedrop World, to keep and conserve ,its precious resources that give and bring life and to sustain its” “humanities” ,to educate the next generation. This is what is required to keep the forces and life in balance within one’s self and the surroundings of the planet and the Universe as a whole- so decreed the Celestial and Diablo 7s. The Higher Councils and the beings there of , throughout this Universe – agree. Ellarya was only Second , it was not her time, as yet. All Primes have the ability to do the little things and help spread that joy and happiness and the Feel , that is required to keep balance , with those who would have it the other way. Ellarya was fighting with Giovanni on all these levels , yet , still, they loved each other ,despite their differences. Despite the centuries. Despite space and time and having different lives. They would always be together one way or another. Gio was going to make sure of it.

Ellarya slithered and flitted through it all to reach the Drake’s Cave.Elle heard Mozart’s Don Giovanni during her stealth movements through the dark regions of the Forest Trails and dark Dungeon Valley Chesster Fields. Alagron had to be summoned to join Giovanni when he was away on his other family/ business trips. Elle knew that she had to connect with Giovanni’s Drake in another way; without Mymsha’s’ potion because she only just managed to take it before Giovanni’s surprise. She smiled at how he came to her , he had never done that before. In all their time together, she was always summoned to his quarters. The music and the way he was with her, something was up and she couldn’t put her mind to what it was. She was enthralled and intrigued to Giovanni’s next step. They did always seem to be battling with one another even with their desires for one another.

Ellarya had not to wake the dark magical creatures that lurked about in the darker regions beyond Stefano’s home. She wondered how he was , working away in his music den- happy so she thought; oblivious that he was missing her.

She finally reached Alagron’s Cave. The Cave was dark and dampened with moss. Small little trickles of honeydew , trickled and sparkled. There was a deep pool that reflected ,like the dark side of the dark double helix from which it came. Dark Purple Lotuses floated on the top. They fragranced the air with a delicate , suttle , aorma. A much lighter version of Christian Dior’s Poison perfume aroma: dark, attractive and alluring . This was the aroma one got on approaching Alagron’s cave – a dark , mossy poisonous scent. An Aroma meant to scare intruders away; often the opposite can occur from the original attention. It had a deep sense and feeling of welcome to those who could feel it also. His treasure was strewn about the sides of the cave and shone. His hearth was a flame and Ellarya could see the shadows and reflections of the gold, silver and jewels- rubies, sapphires , emeralds, pearls of all colours , semi- precious stones and diamonds- that were strewn around the base and wall of the Cave. Beside the dark pool was a Clear Crystal Globe, it pointed and looked up to the Heavens through a small pothole in the Cave’s Ceiling, hidden by drippy dark, slimy moss. Only a certain angle could you see the lavender hued sky, its skyline and the Moon. The Moon Goddess had to be high and bright ,in the sky’s night. There was the flicker of wealth, over Alagron’s hoard. The hoard belonged to Giovanni. Puccini’s Madame Butterfly was playing via the Universal Helices. The Diablo 7 played it for its tragedy. The Celestial 7 played it for its undeniable Beauty. Ellarya transformed She was stunning in her tailed , horned humanoid self . She presented herself ,a flame, sweat glistening from her torso , blood tears trickling down her face on one side and bowed low. Her nose scraping the earth, inhaling and being one with its surrounding, prostrated beneath him. Alagron had no visitors but his Ryder ( with his duplicate Gemini self ) and Mymsha ,when she could get away. He looked at Ellarya , stood up and was about to flame her to a crisp when he got wave of her scent and he was aroused by her and stopped. He remembered and looked into his 7th Eye and started to unravel Ellarya .

Alagron was a dark Drake. He was not pure black , his scales reflected all the colours of the Rainbow. He shone darkened and fiery :red , orange, yellow , green, blue , indigo and violet. He shone with a dark glow as he saw Ellarya with sweat , blood ,fire flames glistening, reflecting ,mixed together , suttly and stunningly gliding off her.She was slippery. She was wet. She was more than hot. He reached out his forked tongue, his sharp teeth glowed a brilliant white , drew her to him. He let his tongue caressed her and surrounded her. Ellarya tasted him , when he had his tongue slithered into hers. He picked her up and swung her onto his nose , so she clung to him there and straddled him so they could look at one another. There in this position- Ellarya was open to him in many ways. Her tail stroked and caressed , the great Drake, in a petting fashion.bShe was looking directly into the The Dragon’s Eyes and connecting with his 7th eye. He continued to explore her and lick her sweat and blood soaked drippings that melted on his tongue. He enjoyed the taste and smell of her. He conjured the deeply hidden sensuality , that lay within her. He reached within her the place only Giovanni had been able to penetrate and felt part of Giovanni’s soul there , tied with Guilio .He envisioned her encounters with Giovanni and Guilio and within his 7th Eye, he watched their memories of being together- all of them through time and space. He saw Ellarya imprisoned by Giovanni. He remembered his part in holding her and breathing her into him once again. His senses were tingling with her delicate taste. She looked at him and he rolled onto his back. He placed her on his chest and her head was by his heart and she rested there, catching her breathe and holding it , praying she was going to achieve what she needed , to override Giovanni’s grip on his own Drake. As she laid against his chest and Alagron breathed in his own partner’s Ryder – he felt and delved into her 7th Eye. He touched and saw her sadness and the love she had for Stefano and how Giovanni had treated her and did not understand their attraction to one another. He saw her love for his Mymsha and their children to be. He saw the service and dedication and love , she gave to Arrswati Prime. He saw the Crystalline picture that Araswati had shown Ellarya to re- entrap her when she was so very young. She had total blind faith in them all and how badly all of them had let her down, with the exception of Stefano. He saw her pure love and faith and belief in him , that simply would not be shaken , when even the circumstances , should have dictated otherwise. He felt and saw Giovanni’s cruelty and how,he himself had been used. Alagron felt his heart melt for her and blend with hers. Alagron had turned. He wanted good things for his wife and children and this incredibly shy yet brave Butterflairy had come to him, with her hand in her hearts, to simply have the right to freedom and make her own choices with truth and honesty , not lies and deception. Ellarya had won the Dragon’s Heart. (James Horner’s An Ocean of Memories , played out from both the Diablo 7- for its Tragedy and the Celestial 7- the Beauty of the Music and the Memory of an innocent enduring love it symbolised)

Ellarya lay on Alagron, this beautiful creature of the dark and possessed the Dragon’s Heart . Possession of the Dragon’s Heart ,the 3rd way to override a Ryder’s connection from his/ her Drake. Alagron and Ellarya’s 3 hearts beat together felt as if they were in unison. They laid together, Ellarya on Alagron’s chest with her head on his apex beat of his heart and Alagron had his tongue wrapped around Ellarya with the tip over her double hearts’ apex beats. They did not move and remained together and connected , in a trance. the beating of their hearts creating their unique musical blend. The heart beats like drums. The Universe was still and silent as they listened too because they could hear not 3 beating hearts but 7.

Ellarya was carrying twins.

Taylor with his lifeforce Parian, heard 9 beats- triplets.

One baby belonged to Giovanni.

One baby belonged to Stefano .

One baby belonged to Taylor’s Parian- his lifeforce.

Alagron and Mymsha’s Eggs started to glow.

Music began to play. Shakespeare’s Macbeth’s witches were humming the tunes of ” Miss Saigon”from the D7. The Celestial 7 paused. They played over one by one all Allura’s “Happy Songs” to Celebrate Life. Life was Celebrated. And for this night, Peace was at hand in the Rosedrop World and its Magickal creatures awaited the coming of the Dawn and the Rise of the Morning Star Allura Prime.( the MAIN theme music from Space Odyssey played .)

Giovanni was kind and loving to Ellarya , in the next months After the Battle of Mt. LilleyHIll , Stefano learned of it and cried. He had been working in his music den after Elle left, conjuring up some new sounds. Giovanni made no attempt to confront him directly. Giovanni had an audience and certain “je ne sais quoi ” about him that he was all for ” the little Guy” . Deep in Charity work and appearances. All of it ” true” . However , he had a hidden side of dark dealings which had to be cleaned up on a regular basis. This was done by the Durgha DowagerPrime, and this had started long before The Battle of Mt. LilleyHill.

Araswati was a Vagrant , she had no place to call a home. Very sad . A Reject so to speak in her younger days. Her parents and siblings, she didn’t get on with , so it was a ” feeling” of not being accepted and not belonging. She never quite fit in. Do any of us actually ? She had a good school, good home life growing up , but yet, that want , that need to travel. To explore, to get out in the world, perhaps to see if she belonged elsewhere? A certain craving of sorts. We all have them when we are young and feel we don’t quite fit and somewhere else may just be better. Perhaps, that inevitable search for the one who loves me ! She did have her secret life,the key to it all. She was very , very Wiccan!

She ran into her life with Stefano or it was told. Came into his company , at a young age. She ran off to escape her training in a dark sect of Wiccandom. She ran off with Stefano , returning sometime later, after much success and being established in her work in Artistry, Translation, Healing and JPK reports , like NDAs for Giovanni.. She remained hidden from the world and cleaned up everyone’s life errors, mostly Giovanni. Arswati was ,as we know ,did not want Ellarya to be with Giovanni, but never came clean ,as to why. Elle was discerning asked about his other family and alleged ” accounts of aggressive altercations during meetings, known to be a “hard nut” and” hurt feelings”, more than just emotion . She had heard about it all, in relationships Giovanni had had and one particular image of his other wife with a Governor of sorts , in the New Lands. Giovanni was a keen and astute businessman and he had anyone who had any disagreement with him sign N.D.As: Niccodemus Dedication Agreements. The NDAs basically were payoffs, to be silent and gave monetary reimbursement, for the ordeal that was endured and suffered. It was alleged by Araswati, long after they were married that she had to clear up an altercation for Gio. He was late coming back on one of his work/family trips and Elle was concerned . She asked Ary, if she could chase him up. She mentioned that he had gone out with an “acquaintance” ( “business” meeting”) and there was an accident. . The injured party had to have surgery and have her wings and antennae repaired. A NDA was issued and it was all hushed up. Ellarya asked what it was all about and Aryswati said that it is something he is working on and getting Management assistance ( anger management ,in fact ) Ellarya – did not get it or her , Ary about this, in the slightest. She thought it must be a business thing of sorts. Her Giovanni was not an enforcer of wickedness. She knew him his as a good soul. She dismissed the claim as , it being something less and an embellished altercation. She knew but didn’t know and love had turned a blind eye and one thing for certain, Allura did actually love her hand-fasted husband. NDAs that Gio had designed had a flaw, which meant they were only civil agreements that Araswati , as Prime, could keep under control. If ever ,the receivers of the NDAs got together and brought a Class Act against him, in the Rosedrop World this would be of a more neglectful nature and possibly criminally so, would have to go before the Higher Councils of the C7 and D7 combined. This was how it worked. Giovanni always made sure that NDA recipients were isolated and alone with no one to turn or so he thought. Local Regional Governors and of course, Araswati Prime’s 2nd could be approached for appeal, if wished, for lack of a better term. As Elle was the 2nd and hence a potential conflict of interest- Gio, figured he had all angles covered.

Giovanni still had his “business” and family trips that he had to go on and Ellarya was left to work, study and be Araswati’s 2nd, which was taking up more and more time. Her transfer of learning had slowed down to a sluggish snails pace and the demands on her and her finances were unyielding and the promise of support from the Family Dowry from the Beaumont expense account were never forthcoming. Stefano said it would all be sorted etc and he was a man of his word. Ellarya trusted him and their mothers’ words and kept on working very hard.

Stefano decided that in dreamscape , in their 7th EYE, he was going to meet up with Ellarya again. Whenever, Giovanni was away, he summoned Elle to him. They had a hidden affair that lasted many weeks beyond their first encounter. Elle was enraptured and enthralled ; Giovanni had another family. The truth is Elle was very sad in her marriage with Giovanni and was very disappointed in him and she had shared her unhappiness and disappointment with Steve. He reached out to her probably for the same reason. It was an affair but whatever , they were good friends and stood by each other as best they could.

Giovanni remained sweet and kind and loving and everything a good husband should be when he was around which was never long. His chambers were also on the 3rd floor opposite his wife’s. His rooms were elegant and opulent and indulgent. He was a Prince in his Tower , and a Lord of the New Lands ( where he had a palatial home at the base of the Amethyst mountains with his other family) treated, as such, in all his home (s.)

He would come home and beckon his hand -fast wife to his quarters and be one with her as husband and wife should be. He knew something was different and was furious, as he suspected what it was. Giovanni was made of the constellations of Gemini and Scorpio , hence his attributes. He had dual personality with a Scorpion’s sting and venom.

As Halloween’s Eve approached and the seasons changed, Giovanni decided it was time, to teach Allura her lesson. He had awoken the drakes with his temper during the Battle of Mt Lilley Hill and his plan for Ellarya was to take away her ability to enter dreamscape with Stefano. There was a way, It was dark. It was sinister and it was forbidden as very invasive, sexual and intimidating verging on full on assault. He decided that he was going to use dark magic to combine her with his dragon so that their 7th eyes would be connected. Every Drakonryder was connected to their Drake and its senses. It could see ,feel and engage all ther Drake’s senses, even taste. This would mean that Giovanni would be connected to Allura’s 7th Eye through his Alagron and also Mymsha. Mymsha and Alagron were already connected. Alagron had fathered Mymasha’s eggs for their children ,that were to be. So this had already taken place , as the eggs incubation time was years , sometimes hundreds of years and the eggs could lay dormant for centuries, summoned to hatch when the Ryder was came into being or summoned by that Spirit. A drake would only hatch for one ryder only and they would be attached for life and the subsequent circle of life.

Giovanni had decided to use wine and black magic to engage Ellarya and connect them. He would have to take the Drakes’ fluids and mix them in her drink. Once consumed and they engaged in being connected as man and wife, the connection would be complete and Giovanni would have insight into Elle’s 7th Eye. He could also enter her 7th eye and take part in her dreamscape life as he wished- still being her Lord and as far as he was concerned Master of his hand – fast wife in all things, in all places she had to obey him .He was not even going to let her escape him, in her mind- all of her dreamscape between her and Stefano , were deemed a betrayal- the deed, the thought ,the mind , whether it be body and soul or not.

This particular spell was best cast on Old Hallow’s Eve. IT also needed to take place, in the trunk of the Butterflairy Tree. Giovanni ‘s kindness and caring with his hand -fast wife was completely genuine and he enjoyed her completely , when he was back in their Tower. The events of their honeymoon, were not repeated. They both agreed it was too intense and Gio also had to devise a defense against Elle freezing him. He wanted her to turn because he had enjoyed the heat and fire she brought to him in her horned curved humanoid self.

Old Hallow’s Eve approached, Gio said to Ellarya ,that they needed time a way and that he wanted to take her on another honeymoon. There was one other time, the spell would work, in the wake of a New Full Blue Moon.

On this night, Gio decided he was not going to wait. He came home in a hidden and deepened fury unexpectedly and caught Elle in her sleep calling out for Steve. He entered her room and cooly kissed her wake , she responded thinking it was Steve ,as she awoke. Not sure , being half asleep if she had spoken, called for Steve; she smile and kissed her husband and welcomed him home.

He scooped her up in his arms and said come with me. He said lets fly. He flew her around and about the ChessterFields surrounding their home. The fields in lighter and darker Lilac colours laid out like a Chess Board, the different allocations and suburbs within each square, alegrabically assigned , as , Chess Board notation ,from their White Tower. The flowers were in bloom in the different terrains, gardens and all was calm.

Gio brought Ellarya down into the Butterflairy Tree Trunk front room through the back hidden entrance. He had everything ,as their honeymoon. Elle as she turned to tell him it was “HIS TURN” , Giovanni changed. He split into two as if, he were twins. He held her in the front and from behind and had his dragon come and taste her everywhere as he pushed and explored her in his dual form. He turned her around and inside out. He was about to stop and drip the wine onto her and have her sip it , when she cried out. Alagron had gone to far and was squeezing her neck to have her mouth open, she nearly passed out. The wine went down and Gio took his wife and connected with her in every way, to assure the spell worked. Alagron conjured up the ancient words , “una mecum , intra IIT , et esto animo meo” (be one with me , enter to the dark side and be with my mind). They were all one. (Tchaikovsky:Swan Lake , The Final Scene , played in her head and she could see them dancing, the one choreographed by Nureyev, it blended into JS Bach: Toccata and Fugue in d minor- those darker tones with its hint of a more sinister edge) Gio had not turned to ice, instead he had reversed it and Ellarya was the one petrified in ice and his fury with her as he entered her, and invaded her 7th eye and found her trysts with Stefano. He repaid her in kind for every betrayal. He forced Steve ,to not see, but feel her pain and anguish as he stayed with his wife all through the night- on and on and on and on. Alagron feeding her with his specialized blend of wine which had her intoxicated and more than co-operative with Giovanni bringing their pain and pleasure to new forbidden heights that Giovanni knew no one could bring about in her but him.

Mymsha was sitting and guarding her eggs. She could not assist. Shyvra, sat with Ary. Ary felt it was all justified and she was avenged for the betrayal she felt came from Ellarya . Araswati allowed the black magic to take place . IN agreement with Giovanni – they felt avenged. Ary was playing an interview of Steve’s and listening to his voice, it was the interview where NO MUSIC was playing , which says it all really.Steve had played this for Elle , when they first started seeing each other. He gave her his music and that made all the difference, because it came from him- himself!

Ellarya had tasted and been one with Alagron as well as her husband.He had it planned and he possessed the dragon’s eye and insight into his hand – fast wife’s mind.

Giovanni’s intention had every possibility of backfiring. HE was wrong.

Elle’s 7th Eye was now not her own .Giovanni figured he had access to all Elle’s secrets. Ellarya had already taken precautions,before this night. The question was who got up out of their bed earlier ? Giovanni or Ellarya Giovanni was quite sure he did. Ellarya let him think so, you see, Giovanni, mumbled in his sleep and had revealed all. Ellarya had taken an antidote from Mymsha before Alagron summoned,poured, connected and conjured them connected. She had felt intoxicated indeed and her horns and tail had sprouted – fire and ice prevailed between them- love and lust combined is more than a potent combination. They really didn’t need the wine between the pair of them when they both felt that way. Giovanni and his Gemini twinned self, Giulio ,were just the “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” versions of Giovanni that existed within him.

Ellarya had more control that evening, in the wake of the Blue Moon. Gio and Giulio would come to learn this , as would Alagron. Ellarya , was the one, who could see within Alagron’s and Gio’s and Guilio’s 7th Eye , not the other way around. Gio had made a fatal mistake in note waiting for Old Hallow’s Eve. IT was Ellarya , who had put into his head to rush their honeymoon, She was not asleep or in dreamscape with Steve when Gio came into her chambers the previous late afternoon. She was positioned and waiting for him. She had sensed the danger and was more in tune with his arrivals as soon as he was near. Steve was safely tucked away in his music den, oblivious to what was going to transpire. Elle always made sure as husband and wife they were completely alone, she maintained that marital privacy for Giovanni.

Ellarya could see within Alagron’s and Gio’s and Giulio’s 7th Eye directly. Gio was seeing a planted memory and nothing more. Stefano had felt and seen nothing, other than his connection with Elle had been temporarily suspended. He was worried for her and felt odd without her and that is why he wept. He missed his friend, his lover , who was more than a handful. She was comforting and a good ally. ( Stay with me , by Sam Smith was whispering in the background at Steve’s)) Ellarya had protected “her” Steve and done her best by him and kept her promise.

Ellarya had The Dragon’s 7th Eye. 2 Dragon’s :Alagron & Myrethe with all the abilities that came with it. Ellarya had gained power and control and told no one. ( the tune now playing in Ellarya’s head was Tchaikovsky Sleeping Beauty ;she saw the ballet in her head, one she had seen so many times as a child ).
