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.

She was ready to emerge.

DEVIA came down and waited for her.

She emerged from the pod and her Trio fluttered around her.

They made their way to the Ellarya’s Village on the Other Side of the Pond.

They found the Old Village Hall and entered the Festivities of celebrating the Harvest. Elle and Giovanni were seated at the head of the table and watched as they danced and sang and ate.

The Old Hall was traditional. It had high Oak Beams and hardwood walls. The iron chandeliers dripped with candle wax. The Tables were long and the head table had throne like cushioned chairs. The seasonal strings of dry herbs and pumpkin vines , decorated the scant brown walls and offered hint of colour. The tables were heavily laden with fresh produce and baking and pies. A roast pig and all its trimmings. They residents of the Village participated in this feast in their humanoid forms.

Giovanni had a weakness. It was in fact women. He had a love -hate relationship with them. He could not live without the ones in his life or the ones yet to enter his life. He was a huge flirt. He had a secret. One he thought Ellarya , did not know. Of course she knew. Gio muttered in his sleep. Ha. ha.

The dark butterflaires floated down and changed into their humanoid forms: a redhead, a brunette and a blonde. Voluptuous Beauties they came and entered the Hall. One in Celtic dress. One in a Red and yellow Sari ,flecked with Bronze and Haematite diamond drops, along its border, the last with a tight corset with a short leather layered , drippy , clingy skirt with tightly drawn leather boots up to her thighs. Hell sent, they looked heavenly. They caught the Dark Lord’s eye. They politely courestied to the hosts. Ellarya smiled as she watched her hand- fast husband’s eyes come alight. You can look all you want she said and left it at that. So far, he had not disrespected her in that way. He would,this she knew.

The dance went on and so did the feasting. Some ate and the meat juices trickled.Pudding was about to be served: spiced pumpkin pie with a dollop of light whipped cream, sprinkles of honey roasted pecans with dribbles of maple syrup scattered over the top of the pies.

Giovanni went around and served the cream. As he approached our 3 beauties, the new dark mistress arrived. She came in and Giovanni and everyone froze. YRA entered the room , she was of course ARY’s exact duplicate . She was small and fiesty with her ” Elvira” straight black hair. Curvy with somewhat shortened and stumpy ,pear shaped legs , that stood on 6 inch , long leather spiked leather heels. They made her elongated and definitely, more attractive and provocative. She came dressed in a sleek tight satin black dress with a curved neckline that dipped down to just reveal her decolletage- snow white rounded mounds that were pushed up and becoming. Her necklace was an upside down “Primestar”. Pointy pretty ears that had single dark garnet studs, that glistened and sparkled. She was glistening herself . She held a single red rose. A deepened red rose almost black , that matched the colour of her lips. A hint of that shade of reddish bronze that darkened and highlighted her rounded cheek bones ,with a strong jaw line. She was the exact duplicate of Ary, with one exception her eyes were not silver- blue ,they were grey- green and she had the scent of Christian Dior’s Poison, not that peculiar smokey aroma. Yra, a stunningly beautiful Creature of Dark Light and that deep sinister velvet aura.

Ellarya got up and greeted the new arrival , knowing exactly who she was. Giovanni was mesmerized .Gio was gestured to continue to serve the cream. He did serve the cream.

The night was young , dancing had yet to re-start. Someone picked up a viola and started a reel. The old country square dancing started and they got up coupled up and Gio waited his chance. It came eventually.

Elle was heavily pregnant and could only watch. YRA looked at her and smiled.

Ellarya’s heart froze as she knew;before it happened she knew. It wasn’t her 7th eye , it was that 6th sense of just knowing. She cried internally, but kept up a brave face. She had children to raise. She thought what is love? It is blind faith and honesty and just truth. She knew. ( She thought about Steve . She sure did miss him. She quietened her mind and focused on him. There he was . Not so alone , or forgotten after all. JJ ‘s little legs started to kick , the moment she felt him. Jaida was doing summersaults and causing her egg to twirl. What was life going to be like when these two arrived. Just around the corner now. )

Happy Halloween she thought, then she laughed. She laughed a wicked laugh which sent out vibrations. She sent for her guard and tKOSS came with their Captain. Parian came and sat by Ellarya and held her hand for all to see. Giovanni went livid and remembered he was actually dancing with YRA.

YRA had not expected this sort of retaliation. IT was going to take alot more to pull Giovanni away from Ellarya Prime. Parian sat back and waited. He was very very good looking in his uniform. tKOSS mingled . It was a jolly old scene of a typical Village Barn dance on All Hallows Eve.

The snakelets, the scorpions and the bees arrived. Everyone transformed simultaneously. Yra called for her Drake and Devia arrived. Gio looked at his Drake that he needed and reached her first. He pulled Yra up and held back before taking off. He surveyed the Hall and watched tKOSS and Parian fighting off the dark hoard of flying bats that had also arrived. PARIAN was indeed very skilled. He watched his hand – fast wife watching him. He didn’t like that one bit. Why wasn’t his Elle ,looking for him ?

Elle watched as Parian and tKOSS took control and made mince meat of the dark creatures. They had not been defeated as yet. She marvelled at his skill.

Yra was with Gio on DEVIA.She sat behind him with her arms around his waist. Poised and holding him she had let her long hair strands , cover and surround one of his shoulders like a cape. He stroked her hair , as if it was his own. Elle had not even noticed. She didn’t look over to see him with her.

Ellarya was watching Parian quietly. She glanced at Giovanni and their eyes met. Elle let one teardrop fall. Just one. She smiled. Her inward distress , had sent out a beacon.

Tristan arrived and joined with his lifeforce. They became one. Tristan had arrived. His motorwing – arcade was left on the Village Green. He strode in, his long legs and his big smile and his beautiful dark curly black hair. Black jeans and light tanned t shirt. An array of necklaces and rings adorned him. He sat himself down by Elle , in Gio’s chair. Tristan picked up Gio’s glass , continued to eat Gio’s meal and toasted his hosts. He leaned over and kissed Ellarya . She didn’t blush or flinch. She kissed him back, her hand gently reached up and touched his cheek. He sat back and took a sip of wine from Gio’s Goblet.

Happy Halloween , the party had only just started. Gio got down off DEVIA. As he got down off the Dark She- Drake. Gio walked forward, Yra’s hair fell from him. He had strided over to his hand-fast wife. YRA watched . Seated by herself on Devia. Giovanni greeted the Captain of the Guard , in his present form and thanked him for his Service. Gio pulled up a chair, on the other side of Ellarya and pulled over her plate and matched Taylor’s toast. He took the Red Rose that Yra had brought in and offered it, to Tristan, as he leaned over and kissed Ellarya. Elle placed the Red Rose , down on the table, in front of Tristan.

Ellarya Prime grinned back at YRA and winked. Tristan took the Red Rose that Ellarya, had just placed on the table .He gave it to his wife to be. She looked at Gio, he nodded and she accepted the Rose, again. Her hand this time firmly squeezing his ,as she accepted it.

The dancing continued with the 3 :Giovanni, Ellarya and Taylor ,at the head table.

The Trio of Dark Beauties were on the dance floor ,having a pretty good time with tKOSS. The villagers were having a splendid time. The music played on with reel after reel of country square dancing. Lots of fun , which actually , kept the dark at bay. Light and love had entered the Hall. Light and love had changed course. Babies and drakes soon to arrive.

Yra sat in alone corner , hidden in the shadows , almost forgotten. She surveyed the dancing and the head table.

Giovanni glanced over at her . He smiled, that smile. His venom had started to stir and his scorpion’s’ tail’ was on the rise.

Happy Happy Halloween.

It is the coming of the Blood Moon and dark forces can transfer through the Veil for a short period. They can invade and spread Chaos. The new Prime , was still learning. She relied on the Light and inner wisdom and the ancients to protect her. She had her Guardians: tKoSS: the Knights of Socrates Service, to keep her safe. Dark forces were not going to penetrate her defenses these next precarious weeks.

Believe. Believe. Believe.

Have Faith.

Keep Her Faith.

Central soul and shine in the Light of Faith. Her inner core was purple, with a streak of green. The Green was to keep the worst of the dark elements away. It was not poison ivy but the gift of healing of being a Herebral Alchemist.

The Bees buzzed.

The Scorpions tails filled with venom.

The snakelets were poised with their batwings.

Ellarya sat with them on the red topped Mushroom outside the Butterflairy Tree of Light. They swarmed around her. Jasmine Jade hummed and kicked.

Giovanni lay at the foot of the Mushroom, looking up at Ellarya as they swarmed around them. Her love, all the love she had in her as she looked at him made her glow. The light lavender and blue glow , with silver and gold flecks ,surrounded them and kept them safe. They were secure in that little bubble and the 3 of them , waited until the swarm passed , relented and returned to the dark Butterflairy tree. They waited for the Mistress of the Tree of Darkness to emerge.

Blood Moon coming High. Dark Mistress to emerge. The Kurgha was plotting. Strong and glorious in her magick, she would attempt in many ways, to change Elle’s heart , hue and inner core.

Blood Moon , Ellarya simply surrounded herself with family and threw a party. Joy and happiness and love filled her home. Darkness was kept at bay.

For now.

Giovanni & Ellarya awaited the arrival of JJ and her little Sparkling. They remained happy and together in their “bubble”. They spent their days helping the surrounding regions recover from the recent battle. Everyone grinned at them both knowing they were the cause of the last battle. The gardens were being harvested and the homes that were damaged or lost , were repaired and replaced. Neighbours helped one another and life returned to “NORMAL”.

Ellarya kept up with her Alchemy, venturing into her herb garden to review and study and continue her natural remedies. She had also created a crystal rock garden with trickling water features. Natural droplets that came from the Celestial Helix.

Within the dark Butterflairy Tree, the Dark Mistress pod was developing. She was fed by her underlings. They kept her . They infused bitter orange and dark chocolate nectar with mulled dark licorice flavoured PORT that satisfied her nourishment and present appetites. This followed by little crumbles of a blue green stilton cheese that tasted divine but smelled diabolical. Sensual and lush flavour combinations were fed to her.

Time passed quickly. The thinning of the Veil at this time of year allowed her in her present transient state to relate to those from the past , the present and the future. The Diablo 7 , came down, just the ladies: Aiessa, Ara D and Ardini.

They enjoyed being within the Rosedrop World. They came down as fire rained in the recent embattlement. They had brought the pod directly from their Helix being created to bring a new delight of darkness and chaos into the world. They delved into the intricacies in their plan and decided on their new target.

They laughed and they danced and they waited. They cleaned and they grew the natural herbs to create their own concoction of delectable and enticing flavours to entice ,entrap, ensnare their intended. Delicacies and delights to intoxicate and create dependance. Seductive tricksters with mischievous and malicious intent. A trio of dark witches had arrived: Aridini ,a redhead with celtic powers, dark complexion with an array of bright vibrant colours throughout her wings .Ara D: a brunette with the powers, likened to Durga and Kali, had a bronzed complexion with wings of burnt orange , yellow and red . – Aeiessa was blonde, delicate with the lighter complexion with her wings of shades of blue and darkened grey with onyx and hematite flecks ,with physical legendary strength of Nordic Folklore . They were Beautiful Dark Butterflairies, beauty to make man ,woman , LGBTQ :melt.

They looked into their Diablo Bowl and the waters spun and they looked at the calm and peace that had come across the their new World. It was time to mingle and blend. The dark pod was fed and kept warm and the dark mistress grew and developed.

Ary , suspended Prime, remained hidden with quite a dilemma. She had to choose between realms, between friends and between ” husbands”. Ellarya called everyday and assured that she was safe and cared for in her kind and caring way. She continued to be the brunt of Ary’s bad moods and tantrums. Ellarya had to endure and provide the much needed tetrateel. She provided it with love . It was needed to sustain Ary who had become acrid despite her beauty and gifts. She needed the tetrateel to breathe. Ary continued her friendship with Elle , which was double sided . This is the nature of some “friendships”, beneath the betrayal and jealousy there was still somewhere respect and love. This was the belief that Elle held, hoping her once mentor ( ha) Prime would come back to her , in a true and valiant fashion.

Ellarya kept her ” innocent” views and remained oblivious. Ary was determined to break Ellarya , she figured that Ellarya was her student and “her” friend and that she was going to have her all to herself. She wanted to have Ellarya’ s heart and her children all to herself. She didn’t want to share her one bit and was determined to break those bonds, Ellarya had one way or another. Elle was not phased. She put up with all the “noise” that came from being around Ary. Listening to some of the worst music and dramatizations created, over and over again from that distant realm of Zohan. ( just awful) One would think they had come from the dark side to torture Elle. Perhaps, that was the intent. Elle crossed into THRC, with her love for Steve, firmly in her heart. IT was this love and the joint love and blessings and consent from their Moms that held the key to Elle’s protection. Steve sent word that he had started to work again. Great news.

Ellarya buried herself in her work , preparing for all her children and the little darling Draklings soon to arrive. Giovanni would have to leave her soon and she was going to be ready and not saddened by his departure this time. She had been preparing herself. She loved him and he knew this and for now with each other’s company they were happy and content.

Elle wondered what the next argument was going to be. Hoping against hope there wouldn’t be one. She didn’t have to wait long. The next argument was not of either of their doing. It was coordinated and planned for them.

The Diablo Trio , had their plan and were just about to release it and themselves into their new environment and its inhabitants. Seasonal fun for witches was just about to begin.

Elendryl with both his Ryders took off. Parian became one with Elendryl joining his light force and making , everything , stronger for Ellarya. Ellarya was now front and center on his back. Parian had brought her sword with her starpower. Ellarya called and summoned her Chanting Amythyst Daggers. She beat her wings and with Stefano and Tristan’s musique vibrations she channeled her own sounds and brought her daggers to her. She rode her Drake like a pro. She was on her White and Purple toned dragon with her own White feathered wings with the purple veins and they sprouted heaven’s fire. She dripped blood stained with silver and gold flecks , with sweat and purple and gold flames. they focused into her daggers which she shot out repeatedly at the Fiery Batwings Snakelets. The chanting daggers let out the sounds of the different Chakras from within Ellarya and pushed them off balance , disorientating their sounds. Parian’s guardian bees came. Their stingers like knives also shot out and fired flames and torches. Ellarya fought and the Game Boards of both Chesster Fields were in play. The world was in uproar as the powers of light and dark embattled.

Giovanni was livid. Why was his hand -fast wife with someone else? And why was she in the wrong Butterflairy tree. He had never taken her there. Alagron hide his mistake. Giovanni was going to cut down Elendyl for flying off with his hand -fast wife. He was going to take her back and when he did , pregnant or not. She was going to answer for her actions. He had locked her up pregnant once before. His heart was hurt. His heart was hurt again.

Ellarya understood him and she saw and felt the hurt in his heart. She connected with him and sent him her love. He swooned and nearly fell of Alagron when he felt the love she had for him. Why now ? All these lives and times together.

On the ground the Chess Board fields, the land owners and inhabitants moved and fought. Fire Ants and Scorpions invaded the board and were like the pawns taking over regions of land one at a time. The invasions were like those of biblical plagues. Strategies and embattlement plans. The Towers that had moats and water , let them rip open to flood and block the advancement of the fires. The waves of drakes, did not come this time round. That embattlement was left to Alagron and Elendyl to face each other down. Husband and Hand – Fast Wife were in battle and no one interfered with that. The larger darker creatures were on stand by to come if called.

Giovanni had no idea about Guilo so Ellarya showed him. She played if for him so he could see it in their connected 7th Eye. He saw how Alagron had invaded their private time together. Giovanni saw this and cried out. Under his very eye and he had allowed it to happen . Ellarya blamed him for the invasion of her person. She knew it that first night on her honeymoon , it would come down to this, some sort of weird fight with Alagron.

The forces of light were holding their own on the ground. The creatures of dark were being deterred. They started to withdraw back to their own territories. The Parian’s Guardian force started ‘the clean up’. Checking on homes and occupants. They brought out the cleaners and the healers into the great hall. The grand kitchens opened up their larders and helped feed the fighting forces and the landowners with their families.

Giovanni’s heart grew dark. He had used dark bounds to bind Ellarya not light. He tried to activate them to hold her to him. The drakes were firing at each other and Ellarya was alight herself. He thought she looked magnificent and could not believe he was fighting her. Gio looked at his hand -fast pregnant wife and realized he had done her wrong and he flew his drake at her. He swerved. Ellarya cut off Alagron’s head with one sweep of her Starpowered Sword. Giovanni jumped and held onto his hand – fast wife, he wrapped his arms around her waist. He patted ‘their ‘ baby bump. Ellarya and Giovanni, both ,heard his Dragon’s last scream . Ellarya let him cling to her tightly, she turned her head and kissed Giovanni ,as he saw the light go out from its eyes, as Alagron/ Guilo, fell into dark oceanic waters below.

Elendyl took them both back to the Dragon’s Nest. There they entered and looked over the Dragon Egg’s. Jaida was active and Giovanni laughed as Elle took his hand so he could feel JJ kick and tumble. They looked at the 7 Dragon Eggs and sat beside the Nest. The 7 little Unicorns came up to Giovanni and each one let him say ” hello” and have a play. Giovanni played with Unicorns, the light was still there within him, white light that Elle could always see and feel. Elle watched him with joy and love. At this time after such a fiercely fought battle , that had started out against each other, they ended up together, laughing and happy. They were eccentric lovers and friends, to say the least. Ary showed up and served them tea. Ary had come for time out ,as, to decide what to do about Beaumont and Zohan. Aryn had come into hiding. Ellarya knew she was now Prime. Ellarya Prime said to Ary go home to THRC . Be at home for now, until you decide.

Ellarya had taken Alagron’s head for what he had done to her. Giovanni did not betray her. She was very pleased. Giovanni said it was time for them to return to their home for awhile. He wanted to be there to support Ellarya for the rest of her pregnancy. It was not long now until JJ would come into the world and “the” Jaida would hatch all bright and pink and bubbly.

Elle went home with Giovanni. She stayed with him in his quarters. They decided not to speak of ‘Guilo / Alagron ‘ ,again. Giovanni was without a drake. Elle said go get Devia, another Dark Drake , far superior and talented to Alagron and once more was female , definitely ,more talented. This would suit him. They talked about their dark sided attraction to one another . Discussed the balance of things in their lives. They talked and talked and laughed and cried and remembered that they had always been good friends and could talk about anything with each other. Giovanni finally asked her about Stefano plainly. Elle told him.

She revealed to him, how she had worked so hard . Her bands she wore them of gold and of silver , on each hand. They symbolized all she had been through . Her bands, a ring for each of her children and their respective father(s) . ONE , specially for her lost twins and their father. He told her of the predictions. Giovanni genuinely sad they would loose ,4 little ones. He understood , his hand -fast wife more. He said he was sorry for leaving her alone. HE was sorry she had not been there for her. He said he had his other family and his other life and that was the way it was. She knew this. He understood the “friendships “she had. They had “make up” time together and made peace with one another, for the time being. They were never far from an argument of some sort and never far from literally loving one another until it hurt. Odd and beyond weird,no one would quite believe what they were to each other. Both happy, about 7 new Sparkling Draklings that had to be named and 4 would have to be assigned Ryders.

Giovanni knew about Stefano.

Stepfano had left Ellarya pregnant and expecting.

Ary had to decide to be Ary Dowager Prime and remain in Rosedrop world or go with Prince Zohan and be Lord Aryc Xichan, Lightswords man of a far away realm. ARYN did take refuge in THRC , but had to take on her form as Ary to enter. She felt home and secure there.

Tristan had returned to work with Jerrick . The very long road trip continued. The Motorwings empowered them and more good vibrations were spread throughout the different lands , worlds and realms .

JANKUS was not sure about what had happened at all and decided to fly off with Tristan for a spell.

Jasmine Jade found the sounds of “Led Zepplin “and made her mother play them over and over again throughout the rest of her pregnancy. She would often , sing along to ” The Immigrant Song”, as if played along in her favorite ogre movie. ( which we all know as SHREK) .Wonderful memories for her Mum. Happier times for them, that Mum, cocooned , cradled and protected them.

Mymsha remained with the Dragon’s Nest and felt relieve at just being Mum and having her cave back to herself.

Shyvra had returned with Ary Dowager Prime to THRC.

Elendyl went home to his Cave in the White Mountain Range.

DEVIA , Dark , She -Drake sat and waited for Giovanni to come and join her. She had decided she was going to take on the ” Elvira ” look for him. She prepared herself and her cave for him and waited.

Ellarya Prime had taken the head of the Drake that had invaded her. She had her Starpower. She had her swords, one of the stars , the other of the Amythyst Mountain Steel. She bowed and gave thanks. She looked into the Moon and knew at the next Full Moon at this time of year the Veil is thin and the dark tries to rise. She was a Starchild with Moonbeam Essence. She went to her own room. Sat and cried at what had happened to her. She cried buckets of tears this night, Her tears splashed onto the dark dagger which never cut or sliced her palm. She did drop it into the bath water, but she caught it with her forked tail as she flew up and out. Ellarya kept it for ” just in case”. She cried more tears, for the fact, she even may need it. Her Prime had allowed all of it to happen and did nothing to prevent it, she had planned it all along.

ARYN had decided to hold off calling the larger creatures of the dark. She had wanted to return home to THRC. Hoping perhaps Ellarya would come and visit her as they used. She would miss her friend. Love and Jealousy two sides of the same coin and sometimes between friends too.

F is for Friendship.

R is for Reliability.

A is for Ally.

U is for understanding .

D is for Destroy, destruction, the Forte of the Khurga, as the ARYN, would reveal its true self , thus betraying them all.

“FRAUD”, all the things ARY/ ARYC was: (the foresight of the Moms, for Stefano, the 7th Eye insight , was true) to Stefano, lost and lonely soul , he was, the insults and humiliations to Giovanni who adored her , to Tristan , who thought of her as an Angel, simply missed everything in the light of day , very sad for him, lastly, to JANKUS , who did her bidding for Giovanni, nothing more than a jumped up gopher to her. IT was them she betrayed. Elle worked for them and they were her friends. She didn’t let them down; she was let down by all of them.

Parian remained an independent lifeforce and sided with Ellarya , or so she thought, when he came to remove her from danger from Guilo. Parian had a sworn allegiance to protect the Prime and as all of this was occurring ,Ellarya was Prime, acted as such and everyone knew it, accepted her , for the way , she fought for them all.

The Kurghan BETRAYED everyone within Rosedrop World, with the arrival of Prince Zohan.

ALLURA SIERRA NICCODEMUS was absolutely, 100% ,PRIME. She planted herself firmly to her promises, her allegiance to her world, the land and herself.

The Rainbow Zebras that guarded The Umbral Lord Admiral’s place were creatures of light. They had the central long single horn. They were Unicorn Zebras and there were 7 , one created by each of the Celestial 7. They were sent to protect the Lord and those he assigned and let them be designate recipients of direct Celestial protection. The Umbral Lord Admiral had passed one of these to Dhanya , many years ago. With his consent , it had been passed to Dhanya’s second daughter. She held the protection of the Celestial 7.

Just who were the Celestial 7? They came about at creation . Mind and entities of magical power that congregated and helped fashion and dictate our worlds.

Orus , Herk, Drack and Kefus figured they would have the edge over Casseia , Ara and Indra. They didn’t as one was always held the Seat of Power with the final vote . The seat of power was not by chance, it rotated as the Moons and planets passed and the seasons changed.

Orus was stern. Herk was strong. Drack was mysterious and Kefus quiet. Herk and Orus were the ones that checked in on Ellarya on a regular basis since came into being this time round. Ellarya nearly passed under the wheel a few times in her early life, She was caught each time and kept on this side of the Veil. They did not let her pass. Orus and Herk helped breathe the life back into her each time and passed her back to Dhanya . The Unicorns came to Ellarya . She ran and played with them and became one with them. Only someone pure of heart can play with Unicorns. You have to be filled with love , a blind passionate love that is true and untainted. Ellarya had that love within her heart always.

Orus had a lovely round and jolly face and if there was a ever a Santa Claus , look alike it was Orus. He was also the Librarian of the hidden Tower which contained all the scrolls and teachings of time. These were the transpositions that had to be drawn up from the Butterflairy Tree Rings as each year passed. Daily little work elves did the transpositions under Orus guidance. Here Orus lived and oversaw the work and care of the Library of Butterflairy Tree.

Ellarya trusted Orus and they were good friends. He would often come and be with her at her work. He would oversee her spelling and help her with the little things that would stump her. He was fascinated by her skills as they were healing in nature, kind and caring. There were times when her work was scary when agitated and scary clients showed up and the skills needed to alleviate the discord. Ellarya would then discuss a course of treatment and whip up a suitable alchemist herebral remedy to suit the individual client.

Orus one day, told Ellarya the Celestial 7 had failed her. This was when Ellarta learned the nature of ARY’s true being. Ellarta s heart and body broke with the news that the C7 had failed her. Looked at that old man’s Santa face, as it shed tear,s as he told her. Orus knew he was breaking her. She stopped and was silent and waited to hear and she heard it and her broken heart mended as she felt her own strength and faith in herself , keep her from shedding a tear in front of him. She dried his tears. She felt her lifeforce and that of Jade’s and bent her knee. She did not break. Her heart did not flow with tears or her eyes at this time. She stood her ground and rose up. This time her strength came from within herself.

ARY/ARYC was embodiment of ARYN of both female and male entities. Aryn could be married to a man or a woman or both. ARYN had his/her own rune that was developed from 3 straight rays , a snake , a cross and a forked dagger. ARYN had lied to everyone within both her/ his world’s and this came to be known when Prince Zohan had shown up to claim his ARYC. By the laws of the land, Araswati was no longer Prime, she had automatically been replaced by Ellarya once it was learned she was a he. The Kurghan was not of female entity and could not be Prime once this was learned, she had betrayed her position and Stefano. THE MOTHERS had been right. The Celestial 7 had failed and the Diablo 7 raised the roof in Celebration.

As Ellarya looked over at Mymsha and the Dragon’s Nest and the lovely little Unicorns of 7, she heard a deep inner call it was Giovanni’s twin Guilo. Guilo’s other side. The call puzzled Ellarya and she was told to go to the THRC and wait. Mymsha heard it and pointed to the Hessian Blue Carpet. One of the fleet bounced up and Ellarya fluttered onto it and whoosh down she went and up she came in the THRC.

THRC seemed different. It was darker. It had a darker , harsher scent. Her learning chair was a chaise and deep forest dark green with purple highlights and black ruby and gold flecks. JANKUS was there. He had changed into his humanoid form. Ellarya he said, Guilo will meet you up in the trunk of the tree. He wishes to reenact your wedding night. He has asked me to escort you up into heart of the trunk, the front room.

Ellarya had not seen Jankus in this form, for many years. She went with him, trusting, holding onto his arm. Before letting her enter the front room, he turned her to him. Looked at her, and then let her go. Later he would say, he had “no choice”.

Ellarya went into the front room of her Honeymoon with Giovanni. The doors closed behind her and she looked and saw Guilo sitting there on the bed waiting for her. He said, you must bathe first , when you go into the bathing pool you will change into the form in which you took during our honeymoon, your white and purple feather’s have no place here with me this night. This night Ellarya , I will possess you as myself alone , as Giovanni is indisposed and has sent me to attend you.

Ellarya had missed Giovanni and if this was his bidding then she was willing to abide by him. Not quite getting ,why he had sent his other half. Ellarya stepped into the bathing pool, it was not of scented floral rose and sandalwood, as she expected. It was more harsh and salty with bitter elements. Everything was darker, more sinister and the FireflairyDrakes were dark with bright red and blue flames. They hissed a dark and seductive and enticing sound that was hypnotic. IT drew Ellarya in. There was a dark dagger which Guilo told her to cut herself and he would watch. He wanted to watch her change for him into her fiery self with her dark red horns her wings blood shot sweaty and dripping with blood that sparkled with gold and silver and her forked whip like tail. Guilo smiled with anticipation as she brought the dark dagger to her hand. AS she held it there and looked around , the wood was dark Eucalyptus with blood streaks. She held the dark dagger and felt the source. This was a dark magic dagger and she was in the Dark Butterflairy Tree. The Fireflairys were not her Drakling ones they were the snaklet ones with bat wings and the end of their tails shone out like the fireflies the dark red and blue flames. Their intoxicating sounds as their bat wings beat were having the desired affect. The pool was warm and spiced and steaming. She looked over at Guilo and saw his eyes has changed. DRAGON’s EYEs. He had got up and moved closer to her and sat on the side of the pool and watched her as she picked up the Dark Dagger. She held it and closed her palm around it . Gio let his tongue sleek out ,to surround her neck and pull her towards him. Ellarya saw the forked dragon’s tongue and the Dragon’s Eyes and saw the fury within and knew this was ALAGRON. Gio’s drake. HE was no twin. He was not Guilo. There was no GUILO. Alagron had decided that first night when he saw ELLARYA change that he had desired her and that He was going to possess her over his Ryder himself. He had created Guilo. Giovanni ,as he was part of him ,did not feel him as he surrounded Ellarya during their times together . Guilo had cloaked himself to Giovanni. Alagron wanted his connection with Ellarya back and he figured this was the way to get it back. He could not overide the Light or Elendyl but he could use Dark Magic , like his Ryder to bind her to him permanently.

Ellarya , as yet, had not cut herself. The humming from the FireSnaklets was about to overpower her and she was just to slice her palm when she heard them. TRISTAN’s Motorwings and those Good Vibrations and Elendyl with Parian arrived at the top of the Dark Butterflairy Tree.

Fly to us Ellarya , come to us Ellarya , change and fly up we are here for you. Alagron heard them, his tongue darted out to capture and surround Ellarya’s neck and hold her to him. He missed her. She glowed and allowed the steam to rise, so the dart missed. She dropped the dark dagger in the bathing pool and she flew up as her White Feathered with its Dark Purple veins up and out to Tristan with his, lifeforce Parian, in tow, on Elendyl’s back. They had the guard with them.

Alagron screamed out bloody murder. Giovanni appeared bewildered and looked up and saw his hand -fast wife on Elendyl with her arms around Parian’s waist as they both rode their Drake together. Giovanni was livid that was his hand -fast pregnant wife. He got up on Alagron and with a dark forces and beings flew up into battle.

Ellarya awoke and looked into Giovanni’s Blue Eyes, her “Blue Eyes”. He referred to her as “Blondie” sometimes for her inadvertent “stupidity”. No you know those moments when you make ” dumb” mistakes and think,” Holy Crap”, gotta get back on this one. As usual, this nickname was based on the care of ‘thing’ Khurga. Giovanni had to remind her to sort out “Coin”,for the month, way back when. She got the dates mixed up looking at the wrong calendar and he said to her, well, “Blondie” you had better go and sort things out. I have already sorted out our staff. She figured ” WOW” he pays them all , a week early. Ellarya finally worked it out and sorted things out. Elle did this with her own “Coin” ( naive and gullible, by love, its’ elf ) She did this for Stefano, as he was indisposed ( he had left) Giovanni had stepped in to “help” to keep “on top” of Ellarya and assure she did what was required of her. She did it ,with love for Steve everytime. This all happened ,sometime after Steve had departed.

Elle looked up into those( her) BLUE EYES , reached ,wiped the tears away. He just nuzzled in next to her and didn’t move for sometime. He held his hand – fast wife as if he was holding her for the last time.

Giovanni said to Ellarya , you need to go to THRC and make sure it is sorted for when our Prime returns. Remember that you are not , a Shadow Prime anymore. It is your responsibility to keep on top of things. She was half way through her pregnancy, the help of “magic spells” it was well hidden and only those closest to Ellarya /knew she was expecting. JJ was just started to quiver and move and make her little self known to her Mum and those around who could feel her aura. She had a delightful little girl’s perfectly PINK aura. She would float and move and be a delightful little flower butterflairy with properties of her father as well. She was scarab and worlock too. Gio came and kissed his hand-fast wife. Felt their baby and said to her be careful, I don’t know if I could cope if anything happened to either of you. It was a sincere statement. One of the few he ever made to her.

Ellarya got to THRC and went inside. Shyvra was gone ,as was Mimsha. Shyvra was stuck with Ary on the Dark Mountain Range outside Devia’s Cave. Mymsha was at the Dragon’s Nest . JJ’s sparkling was doing well and glowing and just starting to hum , her brother and sister were in hibernation.

THRC was ,as neat as a pin. Araswati Kurgha Dowager had left a note for Ellarya , as if she was still her 2nd. Ellarya :you are to go and seek Elendyl, Guardian Drake in the Opposite Caves of the White Mountains. You will find him in his reflective positioned Cave to that of Alagron. You are to go to him , you are his Ryder. He was hatchling to you in your previous time and you are to become one with him and take position as his Ryder once again. Mymasha is still yours, as a Prime , you, need to have a more Senior Drake. Here with, Ary had acknowledged , inadvertantly, Ellarya was Prime , as she was no more. The Drake had to be handed over.An Experienced Drake, in our ways, in case it is needed for combat,that time is coming soon. He is of Light and his aura is the same as your own and reflects much in the same way. Elendyl is a dualed Ryder Drake. He was bound to you in a previous lifetime and this lifetime , he is a Guardian. which means Parian is also part of his lifeforce . TRISTAN BRANDYN is also his Ryder.

She was not sure how she was to get to her new drake, when Mymsha showed up to take her. I am here, my Lady , she said to Ellarya . I must take you to my Father. Ellarya looked surprised , she had assumed that Alagron had been paired with Shyvra or Oryon.

Ellarya was dropped off at the entrance. She heard a whirling and a drake’s roar and fire stream out, a warning. Oryon had showed up with Stefano. He said to her: did you think I would let you enter this Cave without me here to assist you?

Come before you enter the Cave proper we need to check out the Guards room. She looked at him surprised then smiled. He looked deeply into her eyes once again. He picked up a white scale with deep Purple marbled edges and said: I am going to cut you deeply. This was no cheap trick at all.You are to surrender to me. He asked her gently. We will have our time together once again and then I must leave you for a period of time. I need to make sure JJ is safe and you are protected. Remember Ellarya your power comes from within you , not from things , or attachments. Come and be with me , as it will be sometime before we see each other again.

She went with him and surrendered to him once again.

He got up and kissed her ” Goodbye” and left. You take care of our little JJ. I will always be with you. JJ would grow up to have Stefano’s lips and smile and the shine of his eyes. Everytime, Elle looked at their daughter, she would see all the love, that created tbat smile, those lips, those beautiful eyes.

Ellarya had taken sometime off her work as a herebral alchemist to do her Prime’s bidding. She with love created space and time for her, in her own right besides” the promise”. Ellarya cared for Khurga ,deeply. She cared for Admiral Stefano , and the Khurga was helped , only because Stefano, had asked for that help,no one would ever replace him in this. He would always be the star, one of two highest in the sky for Ellarya, as she looked into the Celestial Heavens. Giovanni had flown in. He flew out. He had arrived , at the bequest of Araswati Dowager Prime. He had placed the note for Elle in the THRC.

Ellarya went in her changed and horned and tailed and vibrant self. Stefano , in deed cut her very deeply. He knicked himself simultaneously. This assured his blood mixed with hers to reach JJ and the other babies. They spent nearly a day and a half together , behind closed green sweet pea vined doors.

Ellarya came out quite intoxicated with his passion. Quite bewildered that he had to leave without any sort of explanation, just take care of JJ. She didn’t cry for him at this moment in time. She had her Great Drake to meet. The Drake that would save her life time and time again through space and time.

She went and saw the most exquisite Eldrian Drake , Elendyl had her colourings combined as herself and when she changed. He had red firey horn ears and snout and tail that blended into cool soft white with shades of purple which reflected silver and gold. Eldrian, meaning being of ELF and of Celestial 7, a true magical being. Only those with faith are touched by such beautiful beings. Ellarya had faith.

Come Ellarya ,he said and revealed to her mind. I have a drink ready for you. You know what it is .You need to drink it and kneel before me and prostate yourself until I our joining is successful.

She did as she was told. Waited what seemed hours. She glowed and her insides tumbled. Her wings felt heavy and floppy as the Dragon blend of Rose wine this time ran though her. Babies protected all of them. Stefano had assured they were all protected and JJ sleeping.

Elle asked Steve , how she was going to be challenged. He said that is in the future, it has not happened as yet. I can only see so far but you will need to be very strong and remember: I LOVE YOU always. Elle you don’t need a ring or possessions to know this. You will see and hear it in every song , I sing .You will feel those Traces of love, I have for you within you. Winter time, the Silver and Snow Bells, will ring , when you hear them remember me. Enjoy the Season , ( and like Dhanya) Stepfano, expected her .to always keep it magickal and special. She did! , Bar one year , that year, the Season festivities saved JJs life. ( a much further chapter , down the line) It is not the gifts that matter ,Ellarya it is your love and affection that you continue to give all those who come into your life. You do this for me and don’t forget me as time passes on. Ellarya , Steve said to his ” Muffin” : “TO THE WORLD YOU MAYBE ONE PERSON BUT TO ME YOU ARE THE WORLD”. To this day, Ellarya holds that sentiment within her, gets up and carries on. At this time, he also revealed to her about her other children and their parentage and the little Sparkling draklings that were also on their way.

Ellarya played this in her mind. Elendyl was angry. He was breathing and spitting fire and blood over her ! It was taking a very long time. Suddenly, he raised his head and went very quiet. He told her to get up quickly and run and hide behind him tucked away . She looked at him horrified. Just what was this drake asking of her. He said it is the only place I can hide you my Ryder – change for me. Change into your Butterflairy form and go nestle there for me just at the side there is a little pocket of space that closes over so no one can see you. Hurry.

His Cave had been breached by dark creatures: snakes and trolls that had been sent by The Kurgha to seek revenge on Ellarya for Stefano. Elendyl had smelt them coming and they had passed a gas to make him sleep. The Kurgha did not want to kill a Drake. She didn’t want Ellarya killed, quite yet. She wanted her to suffer great loss and pain of all that was important to her starting with JJ. The Kurgha had decided from that very first day, she was going to be the one to have Ellarya ,all to herself. She was going to put her back in that capsule she showed her. IT didn’t work quite that way. First Steve got in the way, then Giovanni and Tristan well he just went on about with the Angels and his life light force , Parian. Parian was an extremely handsome fellow. He had dark eyes and long straight hair. His jaw and chin were strong with small central dimple. He had striking cheek bones and he had a kindness and softness about him only revealed to a few. He was part of the Guard and could ” kill” in an instant ,just like Tristan. Tristan needed his lifeforce to survive they were one in the same.

Elendyl protected her in the most delicate way. He had a small little skin flap that created a little cave on the right side of his inner thigh. Ellarya was well hidden and protected and also went to sleep.

The Snakes and the Trolls searched. They brought the Scorpions that were controlled by Giovanni , who had been told by The Kurgha they were needed to defend Ellarya, not attack her. The scorpions were there to seek her out. They could because of Giovanni. Stefano made sure they would fail.

They searched and searched . The Trolls were green and slimey and oozed a snotty stench that dripped off them as they passed. The droplets turned into fire ants and searched out the lovely silk worms that would turn into more Butterflairies. Elendyl had cast a cloaking spell over them , so they resembled plain stickants , nothing more. A quick and hasty decision that saved countless Butterflairies. They hatch with the arrival of new borns and hatchlings . They come out with the new arrivals in batches and waves until the toddler reaches two;then the next child is due to come along.

The snakes were venomous red coral snakes. They oozed and left firetrails behind them as they slithered and darted their tongues out. They wanted to find Ellarya and invade , surround and wrap around her . Fill her with snake eggs so she could incubate them. , a parasitic invasion. A particular dastardly deed , a poisonous one that The Kurgha thought up all by herself.

The Trolls toppled the Great Drake. The snakes , hissed and rolled him over. Fire ants surrounded and ran all around him. The Gruesome , dumb witted trolls just kept laughing. They stood on him as if he had been defeated. Elendyl was not fully asleep but more in a state of paralysis. He would have his time and avenge himself for these acts. Alagron came in and tried to find Ellarya with their connection with his 7th Eye. He looked over Elendyl and sneered at him. He flicked out his tongue to see if he could taste her in the air. There was nothing. He roared a great roar. Feeling his heart pierced that he had lost his connection with her. This would never do. He would have to get that back one way or another.

They searched the caves, the satellite caves. They kicked and made mockery of his hoard. Thinking it wasn’t as grand as the dark Caves they knew so well.

Elendyl’s hoard was of the sea more than the earth. He had pearls of all sorts .He had shells that shone. He had colored rocks of all sorts and his Crystalline droplet pool ran mother of pearl shades. The Cave had a delicate balance of Sea Mist and Sweet Peas. The Sweet Pea vines with the lovely flowers sparkly and decorating and hanging from variety of surfaces and colours . They depicted triumphs and losses through the ages. The high Cave ceilings , dripped and reflected crystal patterns that shimmered with white reflected light.

The Degenerate tried to create Chaos and not finding Ellarya to unleash the Filth upon her, eventually they left. Snakes included they could not find the Silk worms , also another egg burial place as the snake eggs would take over the cocoons and come out half and half: flying snakelets with Butterflairy Silk worm wings, agents of darkness that exist. They come from the Dark Butterflairy Tree. The Scorpions nested there also. Gio’s scorpions were under his complete control. They couldn’t find her or taste her. Their sensors were out….Giovanni found her. He saw and felt where she lay in his 7th Eye. He was so relieved she was safe. He had the Scorpions surround the Great Drake to keep Guard. They were the last to leave. Giovanni made sure they didn’t give her away. Ellarya felt him with her in her sleep and smiled. He always came , when she was really scared. He never let her down. Not once not ever, that was Ary aka ARY. Giovanni was just blinded to her. Sometimes, you just can’t help who you love and Ellarya understood this about him and herself. They weren’t that different after all.

Ellarya woke up and fluttered out from beneath Elendyl. They had been bonded in the process. Ellarya was now bonded to Parian: Tristan’s and Elendyl’s lifeforce. Elendyl’s connections overrode , those of Alagron, who was filled with rage at the loss of his heart. He would get that back . He flew to Giovanni to report that Ellarya had not been at the Cave, their information incorrect.

Gio couldn’t work it out. He went to find, The Kurgha back from her jaunt to the Dragon’s nest. She had returned as her young strong and enchanting self. Giovanni was enraptured and he was enthralled to hear what she had done. Momentarily forgetting about Ellarya , not being where he expected or was told she would be. Giovanni asked Ary what gift she gave the Empress Drake, Ary’s face dropped. She realized her mistake: you can not take and steal what is not yours ever. It just doesn’t work that way.

Ary knew she had made a grave mistake. IN truth, she had made several. She was jealous of Elle and Stefano She didn’t want Elle with Giovanni in this lifetime because she figured he would hurt her again. This was her excuse. Gio and Elle would always be true friends , lovers, enemies through space and time. In this space and time they were at times everything to each other, best of friends and called each other everything under the sun. Ellarya never believed ever, that Gio would harm her or her children , even with bold face evidence in front her. She stood by Gio and went to help him every time he called upon her as true friends do. Childhood friends that stood the test of time. Ary put Elle with Tristan , forgetting that Parian was also an independant lifeforce and could make decisions and choices and actions of his own.

Ary was ARYC . She was a he and he was actually not married to Steve at all but to Lukuman Zohan which meant Araswati Kurgha Dowager as ARYC could not be Prime. She was so jealous of Ellarya with Steve. She had made Lukuman decide it was time to come and remind him , as her, who HE really was! He was Aryc Xichan , Lightswordsman from the Heritage Lands of the Morning Calm.

Ellarya remained protected and unharmed . She took off on her great drake, Elendyl and went to see her Mymsha and the Dragon’s Nest. Her world was going to fall apart. This she knew. How and when she didn’t. She could feel the change in the wind as she flew down to the Nest. As she flew on the back of this Great Drake, she changed, her horns disappeared, her tail retracted and her wings duplicated those of Stefano: white feathered angel wings with deep purple veins. The white feathered appearance shimmered with gold and silver flecks. Her elvian part of herself was becoming stronger. Stefano had bound them together and left. She shed tears for him and he felt her tears and whispered to her, so, she would not miss him so much. He sung to her and hugged her heart. Ellarya could not ever put into words , how very much she loved Steve and just how much she missed him. ( as she flew she heard Pachelbel’s Canon in D play for as if it was the last time she would hear it like that )

She was to have 7 children, only 3 would survive , but all the little adorable sparkling Draklings would hatch as expected. 7 new Draklings. As bad as it was going to get Ellarya found joy in this and tried to set aside her grief at the loss of 3 baby sons and a little baby girl.

Ellarya stepped into The Nest Cave, she was greeted by 7 little Unicorns. Mymsha cried out- come and see we have 7 glowing eggs. only JJ’s drakling Jaida was in development. The others still quiescent had a very low glow. Jaida was as pretty little bubble pink shade glow and JJ squealed and tumbled. Elle thought, now it starts. She wanted to” heave ho” and squelched the sensation of true pregnancy morning sickness ,when Jasmine Jade felt her Jaida. Life was never going to be the same again.
