Ellarya lay hidden in the stems of the Daffodils and Hibiscus flowers. She made camp and was quite comfortable. Tristan with Parian has been gone for sometime. She decided it was time to rest and meditate.
She cocooned herself within the stems and closed herself off. She hung upside down , as per custom and saw him, Stefano was crying. The Pahn was refusing to release him. To release the Pahn, Stefano needed to blend with someone to help extract him. He asked her would she ? She didn’t know , how to say “NO”! to him. She knew she really could not refuse , such a request. She went to him and stayed with him.
For the extraction to take place, Ellarya and to pull and tease Stefano , while she was with him. She could not believe it when Giovanni , piped up telling her what to do , otherwise , it wouldn’t work ! She looked at him and said, this is as close to that threesome , you keep asking me about , that you will ever get. He grinned at her, stop teasing me! You see, he said to her, I always get my way with you Ellarya. She bit her tongue and stifled , her , non- existent response. She could never win , with him!
Finally, Stefano was free of the Pahn. He looked at Ellarya and said , guess we are sort , saved each other , didn’t we. Elle , how did all of this start? Do you remember? She looked at him and cuddled close to him and said , she did ! As she cuddled him, she felt herself becoming transparent. Ellarya , Giovanni , said to her, your cocoon is being tampered with, it is about to be in transit. You are not where you left yourself. You need to go , go now. Ellarya , he Giovanni , said to her, we both “thank you”! Family First. How are my sons? They are fine! They are safe, hidden , growing and will remain camouflaged, until we bring them into this world. Ellarya, you will always be mine , through dark into the light. Remember that, he looked at her with a deep gaze with those deep blue eyes.
Ellarya replied to him, I will have your sons, our sons, Giovanni, then , life will move along. MY BOYS will remain with me, you remember that. Stefano , stepped , in and said to her, they are going to move you. Who ever , “they ” are! Giovanni said to her, you are being brought from the haven of your light sanctuary to dark empowered caves. You are being brought to darkness Ellarya .
Ellarya , we need to suspend your pregnancy and pass those children to a surrogate now, Before , she could muster up, the babies were passed to the Celestial trio, who appeared and with star power and higher permission, pulled the babies into” safe haven” up into the stars to continue their development , out of danger. Giovanni and the Celestial Trio, took them up into the stars , where he took Ellarya , dancing all , those years ago. Where light and love began and music played. There his sons would be safe.
Elle went back into her cocoon , leaving her men , her friends, her loves , behind her. She would not lay eyes on Stefano again , for many, many years. Her boys would be full grown. Jade would be a woman. Sapphy would be a fully grown little half- pint cutie- pie. Ellarya would continue to possess Stefano’s ring. This was to remind her of the love of friendship and that , if she had to do , it all over again , to see him, alive and well , as he was :she would. IT helped her to forget the hardships. To forget and get over the horrible things that were going to happen to her. It didn’t have to happen. Why ? Did they let that happen? There were no tears anymore. Just a simple ring, from a long lost , and cherished friend. Tristan couldn’t get it off of her either. He offered and offered . She always said , she didn’t need anything like that from him, just ” him”!
As Ellarya awoke. Her cocoon had been stripped. She was in a deep and dark cave. There was a fire, it burned in blue, cold ice. 3 small ravens , were within the flames. They grew and burned and became outlines of dark elves. The dark elves were the 3 of the men from the Diablo 7. They had come down to try to eradicate , the light force that came from Ary, by hurting , and tormenting her friend. This was an attack on the source of light itself. They wanted to break her. They were hoping to capture , her children, but that didn’t happen.
She was planted and bound on a cross rake! Her wings had been pinned. Her tail had been bound. Her mouth had been gagged. She knew before they came at her. They stripped her down and took everything. They threatened her life, her being, her friends, her children. They laughed and toyed and used obscene implements to invade her. She didn’t make a sound. They were an odd 3. They stepped back and watched as, she started to bleed and drain from within. No one was around her. NO one had come to save her. No one kept their promise. They just stood back , toyed and played and continued to bleed her dry. The silent , hot tears fell. Where were they ? The promises to be there , to help her , weren’t kept. She was stifled and suffered. IT seemed , like the whole world was laughing at her and pushing her down. IT was . She could do nothing. She had to accept what was being done to her.
The 3 odd men stepped back and put down their invading devices. They went back into the fire and spread out. Two became wings and the smallest became the body. They joined and the great Fire Black Drake of ICE stood before her. He came over and stuck out his tongue, just like Alagron and licked her. He flicked her . He took that tongue of his and pulled it back and laughed. HE revealed himself as Alagron’s creator. HE was avenging his off- spring. IS it slow and painful ,what has been done to you Ellarya ?
Ellarya was in the Dark Caves of Stage 5. She was still on her quest. Parian would arrive soon. She would call him to her. The Snakelets began to hum and fly in unison. The dull , hisps and whisps of the darkness of the night. They Snakelets blocked , Elle’s callout to Parian. She knew , she just knew , he would find her. Surely , they would not allow her to loose her head, her heart, her home, her being. IS that what good friends do ?
The Dreken Drake , as he was called, Came and sat by her. HE looked at her and kept up the flow , with his tongue. He never allowed her rest, or have a break. He never let up. HE kept her swimming in her own juices. He plundered and pilfered her. She was cut up and dying. Her blood , her power, her position was being suctioned.
Ellarya , so it seemed, lost the war, as well as the battle. She was not going to get to Ekuziel. The Dreken had blocked her way. Ellarya had lost. She lost everything.
The Pitcher Plant and the Snap Drakon Plant were plants, as we know, that eat. They crave meat, flies , insects of any kind. Once again ,Ellarya was in danger of being eaten.
Parian stayed with her. He joined her as a light force, so that her strength and abilities would grow. No one would see him. As far as Parian was concerned this was his wife and no other. Giovanni did not count. ( Ellarya’s father , always said that) They were of light and love and that should always count more. Life as we know doesn’t always work that way. True darkness can sometimes have the edge , including the winning edge. Parian believed his wife truly loved,maybe ” him “most of all. The truth is, he was right, but only from “his” perspective.There were no exceptions , none.
Tristan with his lifeforce Parian, was the KING OF HER HEART.
Stefano had a piece of her heart.
Giovanni was usually in the ” dog house” for one reason or another.
King of her Heart, she loved him. She loved him, as Tristan when she first met him. She loved him as her guard. She loved him without. She just simply loved the man he was. Her heart with him should always win. She didn’t need anything from him…. just ” himself”! Would that be enough? Time would tell!
She went with her friend, Kyra to one of his big shows. She was still in training to be a herbalist. She was concentrating on Jerrick. She barely , looked at me, Tristan , thought as he recalled the evening. He was dancing and singing and standing in front of a few thousand people. He had them all in the palm of his hand. All but Elle, she just stared and stared at Jerrick. He was very skilled. Finally, she turned and glanced at me. Ahhh, I caught her eye and smiled at her. She just looked at me up on that stage , looking back at her. I wasn’t quite sure, I had caught her correctly. I had. She looked back at Jerrick, but , I could now see she was more than just glancing over at me. The show went on and ended. I saw that she was left standing by herself . I sent one of my guards to give her a note, to ask her to join me, for the evening.
Pretty Lady, come and keep my company? Would you? And I signed my name ! I sign it very specifically. ( “Hearts” & “Crosses “, just like “x”s & “o”s). All by the powers that be , the Celestial Creators. She was the little girl , I once knew ,all grown up. She had sent me back an answer, saying , who she was and to call her mother and get hold of her that way. She said she would love to see me but the circumstances had to be right. Her friend had returned and off they went. Kyra , as it happened , had a very big crush on me and well, Elle didn’t want to hurt her friend. She was a good soul like that.
So , I did it! I called her Mom and we made plans that were sent to Elle. She came out from ,The Templar Boulevard GHS , one day and, I was standing there waiting for her. Her Mom had told me where to wait for her. We spent a blissful evening together , just talking , over at a cafe her parents knew and well, we became good friends. I asked her to join me on my road trips. She said , she had to stay and finish her studies and qualify. She couldn’t do that to her parents. All these years later, we ended up together again. Parian has helped to join us. We keep our secret life.
Ellarya was hidden in the Sunflower stem and she looked and saw and felt what the next battle would be. If they weren’t careful, they could all end of a sticky digestive mess at the bottom of a plant stomach. YUK.
She decided to mediate and feel Parian’s inner self and his power. Wow , he was a strong , beautiful man. He sent her his thoughts and she knew what to do. She came back within the Sunflower stem and pulled strands. She pulled out a the small black dagger from Alagron and pierced the underneath of the ceiling the base of the Sunflower Head. Golden liquid poured out. She caught it in a flask , which she quickly conjured out of her bag. She pulled out , an array of herbs and started mixing and testing.
She got it just right. She changed and adjusted herself into a Butterflairy version of Diana the Huntress. Ellarya pulled on her moon essence and harnessed her skills. She had her bow and quiver full of quills. This is where she relied on Parian to keep it filled. She went out into The Venomous Jungle of Carnivore plants.
Ellarya came out and they started to spray. She had to pull in her wings and walk. She ducked and dived and hid within roots and weeds and grubs. She hid in the slime and rolled into the dew ponds. As she went , she planted her poisonous seeds. As the venomous sprays hit her seeds, they opened and spread. The tricklings were coloured gold and they sucked up into the Pitchers . They formulated and found their way into the sticky dew drops on the Snap Drakon plants. As she went, the dull slimey red and orange gross green plants turned bright yellow and gold. They transformed . the Pitchers turned into Daffodils and the Snap Drakon with their traps turned into lovely Hibiscus Flowers. The aura of stage 4 had changed from Carnivore and dark to Vegetacious and Light.
As she dithered and dived in the muck and slime and dewy smelly ponds. She left behind her sweet smelling and fresh flowers with clear streams and beauty. She had used her herebral alchemy to defeat before she set out. Parian was delighted and he came from out from within her and congratulated her. Elle said thanks as he had kept her quiver full as her little arrows , shot out and planted the poisonous golden seeds.
As they looked upon the foothills of the surrounding base rocks that lead to Ekuziel’s Cave, they were aware they were not alone. The heavy breathing and snoring and scent of Trolls was in the air.
Parian said ,”we need to find a foothill cave that isn’t occupied. Stay within the Daffodils and Hibiscus , so , I can , go and scout. You ,my dear, proved your worth and that you were right to complete your studies”. She looked up at his face and Tristan was there. “I always wonder what might have been, if you had come with me , way back when. My heart felt for you and missed you when you turned me down all those years ago. It takes a brave soul to say ‘ NO’ to me. I think , I just loved you even more from then. I am very proud of you, Ellarya”.
Ellarya was left in his wake, as Tristan and his lifeforce went to scout for a cave. They were among trolls, dark elves and bandits.
Ellarya Prime, chosen and cherished child with Moon essence with Starpower and Celestial Blessings was terrified. The 3rd stage to the Draconus Angeles looked like it had something that was going to eat her. The green blades of grass were Praying Mantis, type stick insects. They had big yellow eyes with black hole pupils with a fluorescent green surround. The eyes of the insect bore into her. Ellarya did not move from under the Sunflower. She remained hidden in the shadow of looking out at the blue and purple blades of grass that she had to get through. The ground was fresher than the previous stage. It had a salty taste to the surrounding air. The sea breeze floated and kept the air damp and humid. The sea water of some sort had to be near by. They didn’t seem to have eyes , or hidden wings which she felt they had. Her senses were ” tingling”. These insects could fly and capture her. She cried. She thought also, please “don’t eat me”. “Don’t Eat ME”, the VIBES went out.He arrived. Out of thin air: Tristan arrived. He arrived with tKOSS. He lifted her to him and said, you do understand , who, I am to you. She said , “yes” , you are head of my guard ,my beloved and cherished friend , who has been with me all my life. He curled around her and slipped a single finger around that curl in the middle of her forehead and kissed her cheek, gently, you will remember, soon enough. His motorwings zoomed into action and the Praying Mantis took flight and fight. They as they flew up their jaws looked enormous as they opened out and long sticky forked frog like tongues tried to capture them.
Tristan flew with Ellarya to the next grove of Sunflowers and hide with her in the stems. She was trembling and racking her brain, trying to remember what it was about that curl. Yes as the nursery rhyme went, ” when she was good, she was very , very good. When she was bad she was horrid. How many times had she heard her mother say that particular rhyme to her. Pick her up, give her a cuddle and a kiss and say, ” if , only , I could tell you! She was only beginning to understand what all that was!
Don’t be afraid , my Lady. We are here with you. I am here. Do you really think, I will let anything happen to you ? He held her close and whispered into her pointy ears. He whispered and nibbled and kissed around her ears. He tickled her chin and dried the tears that were falling fast. Where is Parian , Tristan ? He glowed with his lifeforce and surrounded her, so , she could feel them , as they were one. Parian , she felt his warmth, his glow, his strength and she remembered everything. She looked up and him and said we aren’t in your barracks right now, there isn’t time. He looked at her smiled at her , kissed her deeply and said , we can make time! They heard the chopping of the stickle , stick insects, trying to sniff them out.
We are well hidden, Parian said. We are going to split right now- Tristan is going to go out with the Motorwings and tKOSS and tease them all away. Ellarya, you and I will have plenty of time to get reacquainted . Before she could object to him and his intimate thoughts of their coming together, Tristan decided he was not going to part this time. He was going to stay with her. He sent up with Motorwings with Jerrick, who had come along as his 2nd and Jerrick went off to distract and attack and fight off the flying , chomping, scary stick insects. Horrible forked tongues that kept darting out. tKOSS kept buzzing and sticking them with their stinging swords and they fell between the purple and blue blades of grass, turning a dull grey,as they were being absorbed into the ground of Planet Orchaidia.
Mr. Tristan Brandyn , looked down at her with that knowing smile and Ellarya looked at him and remembered. She remembered her thoughts of him,her wish ,her promise. She said to him, you always know , how to smile at me! I remember Tristan . He looked at her and said, the last set of babies you will have will be mine. You will be my wife , in light, not dark. and those bindings will be eternal. You are right, there is “NO” , time right now. I must go join Jerrick and the Fight ,with my Motorwings, for you. I will leave Parian with you. He knows how to “take care ” of things for both of us. He winked and smiled and was off.
The battle was fierce. The praying manti were like flights of arrows coming at them. Everytime they thought , they had got through them all, another volley was launched. There were flying bits of mantis with horrible , icky yellow , goey blood that dribbled and dropped and smelt bad that was slightly acidic and left a slight burning sensation if it touched any part of viable wing, flesh, or appendage of any of the Butterflairies,tKOSS or AnamuleFlairies.
Parian grabbed Ellarya , told her how much he had missed her. He asked her how the boys were doing. I know they are camouflaged here but I can still feel and hear them. They are very strong. Our babies will be next Ellarya. Giovanni is only bound to you in the dark. Don’t disappear about him. It is a shame that you were not able to chase him out of your heart and memories completely. She looked at him and said , you saw ? He nodded, of course. He held her , until she stopped trembling. He found a private shaded place within the grove and said rest here with me. She did , and within their 7th eyes, they were back in his barracks and together. Parian looked at her and said, excuse the pun, but , I am going to take a bite out of you, this night.
The marching and stomping brought them into the 3rd stage on Planet Orchaida. The marching sounds were little miniature squirrels, some grey and some browny red. The Browny – Red were part of creatures of light, the grey ones were of darkness. They came marching through the blades and were sitting back on their tails and fighting with one another , much like fighting Kangaroos. The Kangaroos very similar to the ones that guarded Stefano’s place at Mt. Lilley Hill. Ellarya and Parian whisked back in time to the present Sunflower Grove , which was now fully alight and vibrant which reflected their inner activity. They looked at each other and laughed.
tKOSS were holding their own against the Praying Manti but they were sustaining burns and bites that Ellarya with her herebral alchemy was going to have to attend. Her and Parian turned their Grove into a quick make shift ,mobile GHS. Elle reached into her small little leather pouch, ( her kids always referred to it as her “Mary Poppins : Carpet Bag” , as she always contained something ” Magical”)and pulled out a small little pill size box. She needed to open it. She had no time to make a cut , to use a drop of her blood, so, she as lady-like as she could drippled some of her sweat onto it , mixed with some saliva ( she spat basically and dripped sweat ) on it and it opened up and revealed all her needed supplies for a small mobile GHS. The reigning supervising idiots could not take away her skill or her dedication.
Bites and Burns were attended too. Parian had seen her work so many times, he knew exactly how to assist her. They were well and happy together and spread that into tKOSS team . IT gave them all assurance to carry on. The squirrels battled on….NUTS…. they seemed to be also searching for NUTS. They were searching for the Sunflower heads, the seeds would do. Ellarya realized this was why they came marching through the Bladelands, through the purple and blue blades, to find the Sunflower Grove Clusters with its seeds. The seeds held genesis of life and gave lifeforce sustenance.
Elle started to realize that the seeds with their different colours had different properties that she needed to learn and master to improve her herebral alchemy skills. She was so excited to have new skills to master. She took and rounded up as many seeds as she could reducing them to microscopic sizes for storage and down into her small leather pouch with its hidden secrets. It was in fact like a “Mary Poppins”, carpet bag. ( as her children, repeatedly , reminded her ).
Hours went by and the battles wore on. As dark descended the creatures retracted to the shadows. None shone out to fight in the dark. They rested.
Elle and Parian went back to the Barracks, through their 7th eyes. Giovanni felt their vibrations and was livid. He retaliated, by going off on one of his own little adventures. The ones that drove both his wives crazy with jealousy. Elle was furious with him. She had hoped to be free of him but realized now ,that they were eternally bound in darkness. She also recognized the extreme darkness and voracious side to them both that kept them bound to each other.
Parian could care less, because everything was different in the light of day. The day came and it was silent. Tristan and Jerrick and tKOSS had gone and completely eradicated the stick insects including their eggs. While Elle and Parian, rested and played in the Barracks back in Rosedrop World, tKOSS and Tristan with Jerrick, went and killed them all while they slept. As Elle and Parian, came back into their Butteflairy forms, Tristan bound with him , so Elle woke up in Tristan’s arms and Dragonflairy wings around her. He looked at her and told her the way was now clear. He walked with her under the Sunflowers , through the blue and purple blades of grass and said to her, I will be your husband soon, count on it.
She looked at him and smiled. He was so tall and handsome in his features. She was mesmerized by him as they walked. She seemed to be floating along and she came back and noticed the blades of grass now had what seemed to be now and again a new type of plant. They hummed. There was a sort of pitcher type plant and one that was like a half moon with spikes that folded together. It opened and closed with a snap.
As they continued down the path to Ezukiel , the plants became , bigger and larger and the humming turned slightly treacherous and dark vibes came out with venom beads.
Tristan , looked at Ellarya and held her close, wife, I will leave you now. I must return to my work with Jerrick Our Motorwings must fly on. He looked at her and said, Parian will remain for the remaining stages, until you get to the Draconus Angeles dwelling. At that time, he will leave you to get Yra. She will need to be with you to help gain favour with the Great Angel Drake, She is fine by the way and both of you will birth your babies together. It has been predicted.
There was a glow and a flash and they were off. Parian, her Guard, her friend, remained with her. Allura , do you recognize these plants. She nodded she did.
Stage 3 had ended in success and re- kindled Ellarya’s romantic appetite. Giovanni had to save Stefano, from the Pahn and start on his road to Ekuziel , as well. Giovanni had his other wife and life and was stuck , on another planet , twittering back and forth when he could, so that Dyandra would not feel abandoned. He felt stressed and angry that Parian was back around. He could just fire him except , he was too good as his job and she really did need someone when he wasn’t around. Yes, he would have to relent on that front, for now.
Back to Stefano , the Diablo 3. Yra was not forgotten and would also have to come through to the twinned planet. How were they going to explain all of this. Later, he thought, back to saving Stefano, from that idiot- Pahn.
Stage 4 to Ekuziel , had begun, Ellarya had Parian , the head of her Guard , rank of Lord General and tKOSS with her. The air had shifted once again.
Araswati looked and looked into her looking glass bowl. She sent Jankus ,on a wild goose chase. The new incumbents of Elle’s GHS did not have her expertise, the place was reassigned. Elle hinged on the brink of disaster the next few years… all because someone was JEALOUS and someone decided that one of her kind, could not have what you have. You fell into this and we will find a way to make sure you don’t keep it.
This was bigotry and anamulization the term for racism in this world. All because someone was lazy. Someone could not do the work. Someone just decided they were going to mess up her life. The question remains who was the actual culprit ? Was it Ellarya ,herself ? for the choices she made ?The blade moved and sniffed and chewed. Elle and Parian remained hidden in a Sunflower alcove, they were nestled and secure. tKOSS stood guard.
It was just one of the caterpillars that had mosied on down from stage 2. Well, well, there are some tasty tid bits in this part of the world it wondered and vibed out. They would come and spread out. Elle was going to have to go through stages 2 and 3 , with the same old slimey , icky disgusting legged worms. YUK Funny how someone just moves in at another’s great loss. They stand in triumph over them.
Ellarya decided to take her mother’s advise: stoop to conquer my daughter. Wait and your rewards will come to you. Karma is a wonderful thing Wait for it. Be humble and kind. Wait. Watch and See.
The lines, the vibes , the “flutter lanes” : bent and crook.
Remain bent and crook, until FAITH , BELIEF and FRIENDSHIP is restored,repaid, renewed.
Love keeps faith.Or does it?
Time continues to slip away.
The Compass shows your way home!
Feel its heartbeat!
Find your way home!
Where ever that is ,safe and “home”.
Time , eternal will stand still,
Faith , love and belief can be re-stared.
Broken hearts can heal and mend.
Bring two , who are worlds apart , together again.
Love lives with hope in flames, both hot and cold, faithfully, so , it seemed.
Repay,
Replenish,
Restore.
Time continues to slipped away.
She stood up and carried on.
Listen and hear her cries in the wind.
Tears fall as raindrops, whistles in the wind.
Time stopped to listen, stuck a match , re- kindled that flame
Time will NOT blow it out.
Despicable.
Sabotage.
Barbaric.
She stood alone and tolerated it all.
She waited.
She anticipated.
She was disappointed. Every time! How was she going to take care of her children? She is not sure how she managed ?
She did and she took care of YRA too and all the their children.
No one ever said , even a simple , ” Thank you “!
No one , even took her for a ” coffee” , or that tea she liked !
Time slipped away and life passed, only Surrender remained.
It was just a ‘CHEAP TRICK ‘, in another Song.
Dedication: to Mr. Robin Zander, one of life’s true and gifted frontmen and all of Cheap Trick, Rock Band. Thank you for all the music and the long tours and spectacular showmanship ,from all the Performers and behind the Scene , support teams and Management. that helps to make it all happen.
Ellarya fell asleep in the tall grasses of the 3rd phase, stage to Ekuziel.She gathered her energy.
She saw her the great ” Arteest”. She was in fact the great ” Con ” !
She lied and cheated the world and her closest and dearest friends. She had at first , felt trusted and ” special” with this news. In Fact, that wasn’t the case. She don’t know why she believed in them all ! Why ? She tried not to think about it too much. Just concentrated on the task at hand. Mum ,I MISS YOU! Big Mahaji , I miss your hugs and all the wisdom , you passed down to me!
Yes, the worst is she lied and cheated me,that Kurghan. She hurt children. It was a being, hurt and broken within itself. IT figured the whole world owed it something. IT took out her whip and hit hard- in words and deeds !IT broke them all one by one , hurting them. Staying away. Running Away. Made her GIOVANNI Cry! Never to be forgiven! Those sweet and kind ‘Blue Eyes’ ( She still managed , to see him that way from time to time; She knew he never really loved her. It was just the power and the type of warped bindings and bondings that they had with each other. Elle was no longer convinced fully it was love. )
The Kurghan, gave a pretense and charade of being an ordinary person. It was a person of great wealth and means. IT lied to all ,who loved her. Stole from the neighourhood shops and trades Anamules. Annacondra, she was a Snakelet Butterflairy. She had Butterflairy wings and snake like characteristics. She hissed and slithered and flitted and floated.
Annacondra was the Great Arteestic Condra otherwise known as the Great Con. She lived with Stefano at his place. She was his hidden secret. She appeared in piecemeal , one way or another in his work in the world. Didn’t matter. She was the stow away , hidden “muse” of sorts, in him with him, in his music studio. hide away, the one that Giovanni busted up! He would do that a few times! Giovanni was the great lock picker, safe cracker and as we suspect , a whole other life of subterfuge.
In her Dreamscape, Elle travelled to be with Giovanni. He had asked for her support at a party, one of his great ‘wind- dig’ parties , that he just threw for the ‘hell ‘ of it. He had actually thrown the party , so, he could bring Ellarya into his other world. He figured if Yra and Ellarya could be friends, that they should include Dyandra. He wanted everyone in his life to get along and for all his children to know one another! he had 3 families and he was very , very happy with them all. He didn’t really like the idea of ” sister wives”. He liked having things he way he had them: one in real life, one in his ” other world ” and his mistress. He didn’t have a mistress, in the real world, he attended his own private shows. He really enjoyed beautiful women performing for him. He had secluded rendez-vous and clandestine meetings. Were they affairs , or just satisfying that other need? When that need hit him and hit him hard, he would fly ” home ” to Ellarya. He would go to the dTHRC , now! There he would call her to him. Call for her , sending out that “Beacon Call”, he was in need of her. He would then have to stay and go visit Yra as well. Elle would insist , she was not to be abandon , or forgotten. He did know , that if he did , she would “kill ” him. Elle would not stand by to see her “Friend” hurt! Giovanni floated through life , he actually was a very hard worker. He cared about his craft and delivering it to a high standard. Dyandra stood in that lime light with him . As far as Ellarya was concerned , rightfully so, accept for this one time, when, he brought her into the limelight with him. It was a hell of a fight!
“Well, well , well.,Aren’t you a little late with those Roses ” Giovanni,” has he held them up to Ellarya , she said to him.
“I LOVE YOU “,came the reply. “I am so, SORRY”! Giovanni whispered to her in a deep and dark husky voice. He sounded so inviting and exquisite. She looked at him came very close and said, ” you are very late, a lifetime late.”
Giovanni, said to Ellarya , “You are here, because of me”.
She replied , ” DITTO”, In similar words to ” Hans Solo” to Luke Skywalker in their assumed “roles”, our Elle retorted: ” That’s two you owe me junior”. “I SAVED YOU LIFE”! “In this battle, I WIN”! She stepped back, took the flowers , smelt them, smiled and held on to them.” Why now ? we are in front of people ? Everyone gets it. They aren’t stupid. You left me remember? NOT the other way around. You left me in a heap! Here because of you? Here , in spite of you”! She was so close to his face, as she leaned into him. Their wings mirrored the other’s movements. They flitted up and down and around. They put on quite a spectacular distraction with what turned out to be a battle of retorts. Ellarya looked at Gio, and said to him , ” Tell me Honey, who do you think got out of our bed earlier ? You or me”? He looked at her with a smirk and replied , ” you ask such a thing ? Obvious , isn’t it ? He looked out at their audience, surrounded by friends and family. The gathering was one of Giovanni’s grand parties that he threw with his other wife.
Elle looked at Giovanni and smile a big smile, and knowing look at the surround, well darling dearest, ” OR, I just let you , think , YOU DID ! Because THAT IS WHAT LOVE DOES”! She almost kissed him , but didn’t! ‘Struck’ her to bite him back, the way he did to her when he wanted to make a point. Ellarya looked at him and said, ” I DON’T LOVE YOU ANYMORE!! And there is ” Nothing” Nothing”, “NOTHING”!!
Giovanni cried out and felt as their bonds , disintegrated, It was all unravelling, His grip on her, Their binds and threads between them, kept disintegrating and dark threads and feathers fell to the ground, underneath the Sycamore Tree. The crowd of friends , started to gasp and stare. They surrounded one another weaved in and out and fluttered up and down. Their wings coming close to each other , their appendages surrounding the other and caressing the space just before touching . Giovanni was the one chasing and not allowing Ellarya , to leave. She countered his moves and parried and stared him down. She held that thought until there was just one grain left. Giovanni bit down on Elle’s lip in front of everyone. In a flash, like a Tornado the fallen threads and feathers rebound and bound them back together. He pulled her close and circled around and fluttered around her. His Scorpio tail , touched and explored her there in front of everyone. IT was as if they were dancing the Tango in the air. A lover’s dance and fight at the same time. It was much , much more. The threads rejoined and as their wings stretched out and changed all the different colours of every time of their joining , the threads bound them tight. The threads renewed their weave into Ellaraya and Giovanni. It surrounded their wings and connected them with darkened powerful threads. The threads were re- enforced with bronzed steel. The bindings also joined their wrists and ankles. There appendages braided together and became one. They were re-fashioned and burned into each other. It was all happening at a ferocious speed. Gio let go of Elle’s lips . The bite was hard and fractious of a second, but kept his lips pressed to hers. Once their wrists, legs and wings were rebound. He looked at her kissed her softly and gently and said to her, ” YES, YOU DO”!
He released her, now fully re-bound to this wiccan wife of his. He turned around and went to find his more ” traditional” wife and family. Ellarya was left standing , still bound and pregnant with his boys. Under the Sycamore Tree, in front of all their friends and family.
Lord Admiral Beaumont snapped his eyes open. He emerged from within the Sycamore Tree and took Ellarya , under his wings and surrounded her. I am here , my Muffin. She leaned and turned into him. She rested her head on his shoulder and nuzzled into him and started to cry. He wrapped his wings around her,lifted her up and carried her away.
He had arrived just in time, as the Annacondra slithered out ,from its own root cave from Under the Sycamore Tree.
Under the Sycamore Tree
Love did not die , it came back to life. It was reunited and joined. It was betrayed. Love was bound and time stood still for Giovanni & Ellarya once again. Their life, a darkened wiccan shadow, hidden behind his ” traditional” life.
Under the Sycamore Tree
Stefano showed his kindness, his care, his friendship, his love for Ellarya . As he carried her away, he felt her wings. They were on fire , a cool icey blue fire which was very different from the hot red- yellow fire that bound them before. This cool darkened ice blued bronzed steel threads were eternal. Ellarya had tried to break free of Giovanni’s grip and failed. He was never sure with the pair of them. He didn’t interfere , he just came to her because , the call came out , she needed him.
The Annacondra was going to get in the way, the great Condra Arteest,flexed and slithered and hissed. She had not meant to send them away together.
The ” Sangflow” beat and pumped and harkened and called Ellarya She woke up in the purple grass of stage 3 to see the long green stemmed blade just opposite wear she laid , had eyes, deep , deep yellow with green surround and black pitted centres.
Under the Sycamore Tree was a vision of the future, a possibility. A future that would join Ellarya with Giovanni into eternity and have Lord Admiral Beaumont, enter Ellarya’s life , once again.
Muffin always believed in Steve🌹💋
She was WRONG!
To All those who love ” Star Wars” , a true space Odyssey fantasy , adventure that has entertained generations.
The sun was shining as Ellarya , spread her Butterflairy Wings and stretched out her leg. She had Giovanni’s Scorpio tail that she had tucked away curled up, while she had slept, she stretched it out and opened the end tail. Within the tail, she looked and saw his image. She blinked again and he was gone. She closed her eyes and simply sent out the vibes , please don’t show up. Giovanni was proving to be very bad luck in Ellarya’s life. He was a walking disaster zone. Out in his other life, you wouldn’t know the absolute “rubbish” everyone had to put up from him, to keep him going. Thankfully, his other wife ,in that life had to deal with him. They would make their public appearances as the “shining ” couple! What she had to put up with , behind the scenes, was something else entirely!
He was going to show up, one way or another, he always did. She always forgave him. He just knew , how to get around her, everytime. Truth is, she often saw his “crap” coming a mile away,she put up with it ,because part of her always just , just did. She loved him, the idiot, stupid, being that he was. They just knew how to push each other’s buttons. Giovanni whispered and muttered in his sleep. Ellarya would sometimes , just sit and listen, in fact: she could take notes. She didn’t. She didn’t record him. She just let him be and rest.
He was such “fun” ! The times she had with him, despite it all, she wouldn’t want to see anything “horrible” happen to him. She was never sure, he felt the same, ever. Just a “power” grab. never meant a word of anything! It came a point, she no longer cared. The fallouts he left her with. The clean up. She had her memories when things came to an abrupt end for her, he shot his arrow through her heart and darkness. Ellarya remembers the fall and the darkness to this day. She was at a loss , why she ever trusted him , again.
She had fluttered down from the Sunflower that had been bright and yellow more than black with its shade that had allowed her to feel like she had a roof over her head to rest. She started on the next phase of her 7 steps to Ekuziel. She felt it again, the “Sangflow” call. It flooded and pumped through her and for her. She listened to its beat and heard him in her head. He was wooing her and enticing her. He could see and feel all around her. Ekuziel had seen what Alagron had done to Ellarya . He saw how she cut off his head and how Giovanni rushed to her ,to be by her side. Ekuziel recognized there was NO coming between those two. Not at the moment .He had to get around Giovanni to claim Ellarya as his Ryder. There was no way around Giovanni. None. He was true and absolute in his binding to Ellarya Ekuziel searched and went to both the Celestial and Diablo 7s to find away to break Ellarya from Giovanni. The only way ,was for Ellarya , to very simply: NOT LOVE GIOVANNI anymore. IF Giovanni could be removed from Elle’s heart , the bindings would dissolve. To dissolve there could be no love , nor hate.Elle’s feelings for Giovanni would have to go into the “void” zone.She would have to have no feelings at all for him: neither in day or night, nor through dusk or dawn ;her feelings would have to be completely extinguished ,in both dark and light entities. She would have to hold those thoughts and no man’s feelings for Giovanni until all the threads were dissolved, then , their bond would be broken. Ekuziel had seen , there was a possible way ,to make that happen.
Giovanni in his room snapped awake. He saw the thought and flew into a rage. He was going to have to find Stefano and the pair of them were going to have to follow Ellarya and see that Ekuziel’s plans were thwarted. He looked and decided the best thing was to back to Rosedrop World and find Araswati. He was worried, she had decided to be a hedge witch.
Ellarya should have let her be;but, they had all begged her not too! Yes, Ellarya was developing a lot of animosity for the way she has been treated by them all.!
Araswati , in fact , would be in THRC, where Elle had kept her safe!, despite her transgressions. Gio decided would use her Celestial Bowl to see the future. He was going to find away around Ekuziel. Giovanni was going to take on The Great Angeles Draconus. It was easy actually, Giovanni was bound to Devia , the Drakes other half. Ekuziel had missed that trick. They were all connected already. Gio could see and feel his thoughts through Devia. Gio went deep into trance before he left Orchaidia. He looked into Ekuziel had simply told him: ” NEVER” ! You will watch and see how and why.
Elle had been zipping up the path towards Ekuziel’s Cave. She noticed that the array of Sunflowers were changing from predominantly from yellow more than black to black more than yellow. The aura of the path was growing dark and black. Ellarya heard a drumming . It was creeping and marching and stomping towards her. Thump, thump, thump. Thousands upon Thousands of marching feet. The path had grown slimey , and sludgy. She found that her feet would sink if she stood for too long. She saw them , they were on the Sunflower stems, and under the flower heads: the Spikey Caterpillars with a multitude of feet and appendages. The Caterpillars were dark and grey will luminous siding around their thick ring worm like long bodies. The spike stuck up out of the back like a long spine. They produced the slime that oozed down the Blacked Sunflowers. The slime gave out a variety of ode ours and changed the air. It smelt off and like disintegration of flesh . There was a foul stench in this part of the Ekuziel Trek. They hid camouflaged on the stems and underside of the flowerheads with the Sunflower Seeds. The seeds held both sunflower and Caterpillar Eggs. The eggs were green and red seeds darted throughout the blackened sunflower seeded flower heads. The Yellow Sunflower Seeds held Sunlight Butterflairies . The balance of dark and light creatures once again. Ellarya shivered and flew and couldn’t rest for too long , otherwise she would sink. She felt Giovanni’s rage and knew something was up. She loved it , when he felt all ” hot and bothered” ! She went on her way and was really annoyed with herself , at how , much , he was on her mind. Giovanni felt those thoughts and said to himself, she will NEVER be able to forget me! This he knew 99.999% , in himself. The 0.1 % part was negligible and would never happen. Ellarya not feeling anything for him. He went through back to Rosedrop World. He went to find the Kurghan, in her Hovel, as one now referred to her THRC.
Ellarya was fluttering around and through the Sunflower Forest that now dark and moldy and mildewy. It reeked of old eggs and swampy with slime and critters that had started to dart mucous balls at her. Splat. Splat. Splat. The heavens opened up and she looked for cover. She could not take any , the underneath had the Spikey Caterpillars. The spikes were venomous and like snails when alarmed or angry darted out their poison. Their poison was a stunner, not a killer. It caused wing paralysis which meant, if you could not fly, you would get stuck in the sludge. You would become one with the sludge and turn into mulch food for the Dark Flowers. Gifts would be divvied up by those who could absorb them. Unabsorbed gifts would pass into the ground to wait until the turn of the great wheel brought them a deserving soul.
Ellarya was drenched and smelt. She flew on. She was now darting around the Dark Sunflower Stems. She would weave between the big raindrops , avoid the underneath of the Venom of the Spikey Caterpillars and not rest more than 30 milliseconds to avoid being stuck and sucked and sunk down into dark icky mouldy slime and swampy surround.
She hesitated and felt a drip of venom hit her lower left wing. IT slumped and she had to use her Scorpio tail to hold it to be balanced to fly. She kept going. She was drained and sore and her Wings the ones that worked ached. She sent out a call to him. Gio had gone through to Arythenia. He missed her call. Stupid , moron of a man , where was he. She needed him and he had disappeared. Truth is she missed him at this precise moment. He was a strong fighter as well as lover and she could use his cunning and deciphering intellect. Giovanni had a very clever mindset.
She had a 1/2 paralysed wing. Fatigued and drenched. The Spikey Caterpillars kept dribbling their poison drops. Raindrops which would cause her wings to stop beating from wet and poison drops that paralyse. The mucous splats that would pin her against the stems of the Darkened Sunflowers. The debilitating stench of the swamp and grime.
3 sets of watery , deadly droplets. She looked up and saw the blackened Sunflowers were thinning. She was nearly through and splat. She got hit and pinned to a stem. The Spikey Catepillars swarmed her. She cocooned herself and pulled it out of her small leather bag. She pulled out a bomb bead. She embedded it into the stem at its base with her Scorpio tail . It darted out from her cocoon and darted back in. She waited until it blew and went off. The stems went in all directions. Slime plattered and there was an in pouring of fresh air that entered the vicinity of the bead bomb site. The fresh air reached Elle’s shell . It cracked open . She flew up and up and carried her damaged wing. She flew up and above and into and through the clouds. She could not sustain such height , the air was too thin. She looked down and saw that the Blackened Sunflowers were now behind her and the Grass was now shone off red, yellow and black with purple and green threads. The Green Strands Grassses were speckled throughout the next phase of the landscape on the Road to Ekuziel. She was going to take join with this Great Emperor Drake, unique in his kind. She was going to feel the power and strength of his ” Sangflow” within her. The “Sangflow” to mix with her star powered blood that flitted and sparkled silver and gold throughout her wings.
Ellarya had made it through the 2nd test. She was hurt and damaged but whole and quiet alone. NO Giovanni ! No Stefano to surround her aura and help her. She flew down and found a small pond with a friendly looking Mushroom Dwelling and rested.
Ekuziel sighed with relief. He was not sure if she would make it. He could only entice her with his “Sangflow” call. He could not help or assist her. Elle rested , fell asleep.
The Empress Prime,cherished child, beamed and felt the essence of the moon and its strength find her and with its healing forces combat and heal her poorly wing. Ellarta had used her lifeforce blessings to ask for healing and strength. The Celestial 7 heard and granted. The Celestial bell rang and the Jai ladder spilled out and the fall out was crystalized healing water droplets. They ran into the small pond that Elle was by and when she awoke and drank and ate some of the surrounding fruit. She was healed. She rested one day. The 3rd test awaited amongst the red, gold , black grass with its threads of purple and throughout each Green Grass that was NOT home.
You left You ran You left me Obsessed Crushed Dying Lying Faith Cried Life of Mine Blood tears wept I stood up I Croaked The Joker did his dance Life Cried You ran You left Running Away It Never Ends
Ellarta had just left Giovanni’s quarters, dressed and camouflaged in her own clothes and skin. She flitted out the escape door and started down the long ancient path to Ekuziel’s habitat. She had to remain low and out of site. The Pahn had spies and she had escaped him. The pathway was fixed with small little stones, rocks, pebbles, crystals and wood chips. They intermingled. The Rocks roared as she floated, flitted, walked , ran, skipped past. She gazed among the tall grasses : some green , some blue, some purple. The flowers leered at her , some inviting , some hostile, more amused and intrigued at the new adventures of this enchantress , Empress that she was .
This being the first step of the 7 tests, she would have to endure to reach Ekuziel and become joined to him. She didn’t know what they were or what it was , that imminently ,she had to face. She heard that same old humming. She froze with terror of remembrance of this particular sound: the humming and chanting of the snakelets. She had almost lost her way that day with Alagron and Guilio. She tried to fly and felt the same heaviness once again.This time she didn’t fight it. She joined and hummed and chanted with them as they arrived. They searched and searched for her the Snakelets but could not find her. Ellarya had blended in with the sound cloaking her own being. She chanted and hummed and saw them arrive.
The Fire Ants.
They flew and spat flames, little droplets of fire that burned and pebbled dashed the ground. They spat and planted themselves and started the search for Elle. Ellarya hummed. She chanted and she swarmed ,with the snakelets.
The rocks were quiet as she passed. Silenced by her sting. She had adopted Giovanni’s scorpio appendageal tail ,so she could release venom if needed. The crystals felt her and shone, so ,only she could see their light and light the way for her .The Fire Ants tried to throw her off the trail ,into the multitude of traps.
She had to pass the snakelet pit without being attracted to join them. She looked in and saw Giovanni, he was writhing and riding the snakelets, whispering to her to come down and join him. She watched as the rocks dribbled into the pit. Trickling down into the moving bottom . It slithered and swirmed hissed. The were an orgy of activity amongst themselves. Some were engaging in the act , some were being eaten , some were squeezing , some were biting , hissing and some were just humming along.
A snakepit of images . They writhed and rolled. The moved in waves, some fst , some slow. Some allowed themselves to be devoured , only to be reborn and come out with multiple heads, like a hydra
. The stream of rocks was slow then it became heavier and thicker and faster and Giovanni rose to the heights with them and soared . He laughed and showed himself , his strengths , his weaknesses and revealed all to her., he was being crushed , alive. He had lost his voice and his ability to sing had been stifled.
SNAP, the mirage of Giovanni vanished. The pit had not been able to entice her down and trap her. Giovanni was in his quarters at The Pahn’s Palace and he was on his bed, missing his wife. He had laid his head on her pillow and fell asleep. He went to her in his dreams and watched her pass the test by leaving him destitute and a prisoner within a snakelet pit. He whimpered in his sleep for her. She cried out for him to hush and rest. She soothed adn comforted him in his sleep. She assured him , his voice was fine. He was secure. She would never let anyone hurt him. She gave him that much ! She would always stand up for him. She would say, YOU GO THROUGH ME FIRST! I will be his shield. She was , until , the day came that her shield would passed through him , destined for another. For now , she let him know , she would be home to him soon.
Ellarya ignored the snakelet pit and she clug to her small little leather bag with its endless hidden delights. She felt Giovanni turn in his sleep. She reached out to him and touched his cheek. He felt the shimmer of a feather-lite touch of her . He tried to wake up to grab her and could not. He was held in trance. She would never know , if he missed her. She assumed , he just didn’t care once , he lost her control and all that came with it. He had wanted her power. He wanted to usurp her position, he almost succeeded. She had loved him beyond time. Time hesitated and he lost her!
Ellarya passed the snakelet pit and kept on chanting and humming. She was eased up the path , passing the stones, the rocks, the pebbles, the crystals , the wood chips. Between the stones , the rocks , the pebbles , the crystals and the wood chips , the roots of the very deep and surrounding woods started to come up the ground and twist and turn. The deep roots travelled and snaked up and along the path. Ellarya decided it was time to flutter. She hovered above and watched as they started to grow upwards to try to reach out and handcuff her. As she dodged and turned, she remembered Alagron and Guilio and how he had wanted to handcuff her. The only one to handcuff her was Giovanni. He jolted with sensation of the memory ,in trance and sent waves of not devotion or love but of possession to devour and conquer and keep always what he simply thought was just “his”! Elle decided he was right and let loose the the venom from the scorpio tail she had adopted and adjusted for this flight this night. She was enraptured and captured in the dark waves of the Green vines and wood root that tried to grab her. The roots sprouted green little delicacies to try and entice her to turn and join them. They wanted to bring out the Poisonous Avy side of her. They didn’t realize she was already there ,as she sprayed them and made sure she ventured forward to the next stage of the first path.
They came fast and quick the FIRE ANTS and they flew through the winding vines that shot out and tried to hold and bind her. The Fire Ants came in swarms of a bands that kicked off , as they ran over only the rocks. Over and over the Fire Ants and the rocks combined. They spat out and hissed and broke the chanting. They were blocking the sound waves. They were testing the wave barriers to see if there was anything hiding behind. Ellarya sank and went back . She went to the snakelet pit and hovered until she pulled in Giovanni’s mirage and there in the snakelet pit, she let the Fire Ants discover them. They found her with him being entangled and swarmed by the snakelets.The humming and chanting heightened and beat as Elle exposed the mirage of Giovanni and watched as the Fire Ants tried to sting him with the touch of their Fire Wings and feet. She let them see her protect him. She placed him in a protective seal made from the snakelet shed skin droppings.
She refashioned him in the case and left the mirage of him there, under what seemed to be clear stone. The mirage was just that. Giovanni was safe and sound and oblivious to the mirage’s activities. Ellarya , then ,went after Giovanni’s shadow next.
Two adversities had not been avoided by Ellarya . The snakelet pit, she escaped twice. Giovanni was safe. He was Happy in his dreamscape world with her. They were happy together and chased one another. They played in the Butterflairy tree and were more than best friends and lovers. Ellarya went on.
The last part of this first test was filled with thickening of the wood vines into filtered levels of up and down around the stones that become quite large boulders , the rocks that remained dark and sinister with undertones of darkness. Waves of bad feelings and sometimes darted to hex and jinx any passer-by ,if they got caught. The vines of different levels created veiled curtains and shadows. They were the balance of passing under and through the Veil. Ellarya could hear the sounds of those ,on the other side. She could not touch them. She could not see them. She could hear them calling her. She heard Alagron’s scream. She felt Giovanni rush to her side. They both watched the Drake plunge into the darkened waters. The Veil was playing tricks on Elle’s mind. Trying to draw her in. It played so many of Giovanni’s tricks on her . With Giovanni ‘s shadow , it was making Elle re-live some her most painful memories with him . Her deep seeded love for him, stood the test. The power of love and obsession, that seemingly gives someone that type of control over another soul. Some would say it is loyalty. Others would say , it is abusive control.
Giovanni didn’t realize. He didn’t have any power at all. Love and hate were the tools of power. Ellarya could be ” controlled ” by Giovanni because of ” love” . For Giovanni, Elle was never quite sure if he just hated her for ARYN, the he / she that was his most beloved secret ,”Crush”. She remembered, how hurt she was for him when she heart Araswati say, how much she actually hated him. He was the Dark Lord and he would attempt to take her life for power. Elle looked back many years later and would laugh at the thought, what would he say, if he knew that this “CRUSH” , he had , well and truly : hated him. Yes, they would have battles , they would hate. Elle would always want Giovanni to win. He afterall was a Dark Lord and she was part of its shadow too.
Ellarya went on and the Darkness of the Wooded Vines continued to call her. She had Giovanni ‘s aura, his “mirage” ,encapsulated. He was protected. He was safe. Elle came out of the Veiled Wooded Vines and found some sunlight and sunflowers. She stopped and rested under them. She had made it through to the next phase of tests. She had outsmarted the Snaklets and the Fire Ants..
Ellarya was one step closer to Ekuziel; one down, 6 to go!
Ellarya, let Giovanni wake up and eat, drink, engage, bath. He then had a day of frivolity, in one of his ” secret ” hidden chambers of the Pahn’s lower levels ,within the palace. Giovanni returned his quarters and once again ,missed his wife. He put his head on her pillow . Ellarya came to him in their combined 7th eye and sited to him, on this day so many moons ago, in a different time, in a different place, a leader took from Giovanni, his heart’s desire Elle stood back and watched as he stood up in the spot light , sang his songs and tears streamed down his face. She reached out to him and dried them .She stood behind him and hugged his heart. She held him and kept him from passing through and under the veil. The Vines had tried to take him. Ellarya would not let that happen. She stood by him and watched as he re-joined and settled in their room , in his quarters. She joined him there for a brief minute , then left him again.
She woke up and was in sunlight and sitting curled up on the head of a sunflower bed being shaded by another. Mother Sunshine and smiled down on her. The first stage to Ekuziel had been conquered.
Ambassador Niccodemus and his wife were announced to the Emperor’s Court and allowed to take the long walk to him. The room was of asian , oriental decor and heritages combined. The oriental carpet was green, black and gold. There were long pillars along the way , with centuries.. Within those pillars were the Guardian Drakes whole and Spirits, sources of amulets and protective Wards. Clearly , weight bearing pillars that held up the levels above. A 3 storey , Pagoda type building. It had hidden depths, passages and some very private , hidden rooms, stone walled and Iron Cast Cages , beneath. The outside had opulent and manicured oriental gardens: sands and stones with extravagant water and mirrored features. The long end of the room had a small stage upon which was an Ornate Dragon looking Chair, with black panthers statutes on either side. The Drake could have been Alagron , if, it were alive. Seated was Emperor Pahn, long straight pin- like black hair, strong chin and jaw line with prominent straight nose and blue -black eyes that could look through and devour you. Ellarya looked and saw Stefano . He smiled and winked at her. Giovanni whispered do you see him ? Do you see who is sitting there ? Stefano was ‘superimposed’ , on Pahn, he was ” one” with him. Steve was going to enjoy watching Giovanni, kneel down and prostate himself before him, although it was actually Pahn, not ” himself” . They could see and feel him. Yes, part of this was going to be “fun”! They still rivalled with one another , on a variety of levels.
“Ellarya , this is a different space and time and in this life , you remember that you are my wife,my Lady”, Giovanni Niccodemus , whispered to his dearest beloved. It was a plea , more than anything else. IS that clear! His grip on her arm was fierce and possessive. She smiled and nodded to all the guests and royal occupants, household. As his grip tightened on her arm, his nails dug in, the fire and ice between them ignited and she changed before the court. She spread her gloried wings and simultaneously, Giovanni spread his. They presented themselves to the court in full Butterflairy and Scorpioflairy form. Elle ‘s colours of purple, blood red and green sprinkled with gold and silver shimmers , shone. The palace occupants were beside themselves with excitement at the couple, revealing their true selves. All had heard of them, few had seen them like this. They reached him and bowed and curtseyed respectively.
Emperor Pahn, not to be undone, stood up, and held up himself. He spread his own wings, that of a sting- ray with a sharped barbed tail. It emulated , Giovanni’s scorpio stinger. The chair came to life and Alagron stood up and breathed fire. The black panthers, reared up on their hind legs and spread their black and green wings. Alagron still belonged to Giovanni, unbeknown to Pahn. The panthers were Stefano’s of course, he was the Umbral Lord. He balanced himself within the host, keeping quiet and calm and listening to Pahn’s cold and devious heart. He looked at Ellarya ; yes ,she was indeed! He looked , he delved, he must have. Fun. He raised his barked tail and waved his wings and beaconed her with him , towards him.Yes, this was going to be an afternoon , he, they would not forget.
They all settled down , into their humanoid forms. The Pahn , spoke out: to Ambassador Niccodemus, “your Governor has recalled you. You are to leave immediately”, in a much softer and more delicate tone, Pahn said, “your good Lady -wife is invited ,to stay and wait for your return. She may leave with you now and is confined to your quarters and that part of the garden which is for use alone. You must go now, but with your permission, could she be allowed to stay and help me greet my other guests “? He pointed to the chair just to the right of his.
“Emperor Pahn, with your leave, of course she can”, Giovanni replied.He kissed his wife’s hand, bowed , turned around and left. Giovanni was fuming and once more that idiot cousin of his was sitting there with his wife and there was nothing he could do about it at all. Why had Valentio? recalled him ? Must be about money and the debt they all owed. Yes, that was waying down more and more.
Lady Ellarya Prime had not said one word. Not one! She was in stunned silence. “Come, Lady Niccodemus Prime , help me with my guests”, Pahn/ Stefano, said to her. She went up to him kneeled and looked up at him as he put his hand for her to kiss , his ring! Sheepishly his finger , found its way into her mouth and over her tongue and caressed it. His sting-ray tail, creeped up up her leg. It went higher and higher .He looked right into her , and through her with those blue – black eyes of his, with the hint of green surround. As she stood up to move, to the anointed chair for her, he squeezed her hand ,withdrew his tail, before releasing her hand, ever so faintly , just above a whisper, breathed out “HELLO Muffin”! He leered close to her and breathed her in. As he let his ‘forked’ tongue, slither out and just touch, the tip of her upper lip- so fast, no one would have seen it. Oh Yes, She could ” taste him! She could feel him within their connections. He was going to ” play” with her, in front of this audience. She steelled herself and her heart , with ice.
Ellarya played her role. Smiled , greeted and was diplomatic to all of Emperor Pahn’s guests. They were paying him homage and presenting him with gifts from all the regions of his realms. He whispered to Ellarya the gifts were actually ” taxes” and had to be paid! How else would things run. She answered him and said ,” you have a very bad reputation in this time and space “. Emperor Pahn, cooly replied to her, as he stepped closer to her, bent over her , he slipped his hand into her robe , so no one could see and said, ” and, so , do you ! ” His hand groped, and massaged , he felt her in places he should not have . Before she could react , his hand withdrew , as if , nothing untoward had happened. She just looked at him, hotly and did not say ” a word “. The shock , the surprise and the boldness of the act in itself , she was angry, frustrated and rather intrigued, to see if , anyone noticed. NO one reacted. As she looked , everyone seemed rather engaged with the flow of items, being gifted.
They worked through the day. Taking short breaks, for nibbles and drinks amongst themselves and the guests, being constantly served. The Emperor was flirtacous with all the court and presenters. He was rampant. When it came to Ellarya , he was subtle , respectful, so , that no one was aware but the two of them ( and Stefano , of course ) Everytime, Ellarya went for a drink, or a taste of a new and inviting delicacy. She was ‘invaded’ .,one way or another. His tail went up her robes, touching and probing and reaching. His wings would slip, up the sleeve of her arm and down the front of her dress, underneath, cupping and flicking and squeezing , as if the tip of his wings were licking and tasting her. In fact , that is exactly what he was doing. He had those specialized sensors on his wing tips. He was very functional , this Pahn. His wing tips flicking, and squeezing and tasting her. His tail, up her leg, rubbing and reaching. He did his best, to tease, appease, titillate and caress. None of it worked. Ellarya completely ignored his overtures, as , if they weren’t happening at all. As far as the court was , aware , they were oblivous. Stefano was fuming. He could do nothing, but make sure, that Pahn, did not compromise her completely. Then it happened, Aryn and Zohan with their clansmen, approached , Pahn. They said their gift to him was their swords, their protection. He nodded and glared at them. Patience “Muffin”, this is why you are here, with me ! Stefano intervened. You understand. She did, she got up and as they offered their gift, Lady Ellarya PRIME was the one who stood up , at the Emperor Pahn’s invitation, his hand had reached out to her, indicating she was to accept the gift .The Pahn advised the Court and the Courtiers that this gift was not just for him but also, the one , who accepted and took it. for him.He had Ellarya Prime take it off the lovers: Xichan and Zohan. Their allegence and fidelity had been sworn to Ellarya Prime! The two did not raise their heads. They offered their swords and allegince and obedience to her. They were indebted now to her service. Xichan and Zohan had been out manovered by STEFANO ,as the Pahn. did and he then pulled her back to be seated ‘on’ him, into his lap. Yes, he was going to enjoy this, immensely. He allowed both Xichan and Zohan to rise and look at him, with Ellarya Prime on his lap. Ellarya did not disappoint. She made sure that Xichan could just catch what was hidden to the rest of the court by them. Xichan could see all of Stefano’s caresses and invasions upon her person , in front of the court. Yes, Ellarya was revealing in this moment! All the absolute crap she had taken for that alter ego form ! As the clansmen couple moved back, the Court now saw that Ellarya was seated on the Pahn with Alagron’s wings surrounding them both. His tail had slide forward and protected them. Ellarya remained seated on the Pahn, in a much superior position, in the court , from when she had entered. Everyone held their tongues and gasps. They feared retribution . The Pahn’s guards had no mercy! They loved to collect taxes , in a variety of forms.
The Pahn and Stefano whispered to her , “yes , my Lady , you have their allegiance and swords combined with me. This joins us together. You know this joining must be fulfilled. I have every intention of collecting what is owed to me! This is not a tax , this is payment and thanks with gratitude for what , I have given to you.” Ellarya allowed his tongue to catch her for a second longer than she should. She allowed the caresses to delve and linger as long as he wanted. She did not blink or bat an eye.She let her wings shimmer and disperse shows of coloured light and scent to camouflage his overtures to her. Yes, the Pahn was going to play a symphony on and with her. Ellarya just loved to ” play” with them. Stefano was slightly alarmed , when it dawned on him that the attraction was now , not just with him, it was with the Pahn, himself. Ellarya had decided that she was going to be Empress and Giovanni and Stefano were going to be sent back to Rosedrop World, after they both had seen her rise to this position.
Ellarya Prime, child of light , of the sun with moon essence and power of the stars and elements , was going to rise from being Lady Prime to Empress Prime! To do this, She was going to have to engage , indulge and devour the Pahn, to satisfy his ” twisted” needs and desires. She looked at Stefano , within the Pahn, knowing he was going to enjoy all of this as well! The Dark within her was flowing!
The SilverBlue Butterflairy Clansmen, retreated. Realizing that Emperor Pahn , had them all just declare allegiance not just to him, but to Ambassador Niccodemus , the realm , he also represented and his Lady -wife, As Ellarya Prime took their swords, and accepted their pledge and gift: it was pledged and gifted to her first. Ellarya PRIME took it all in and said. Well, well , well, aren’t you just a ” clever” clog. Pahn looked at her deeply , letting his hand roam through , around, as well as, slightly penetrating into her discreetly, and he replied to her, ” of course, I am “! They just declared and gave allegiance to you first. Not quite what they planned. The babies are doing well , are they not ? You feel well , don’t you ? This was Stefano talking, not Pahn. He looked at her and slowly withdrew his hands from her, that was Pahn, not Stefano. Stefano, did enjoy feeling her and being close to her again, even if it was this way. Giving her a tempestuous smile. He leaned into her , so, she could feel him, all of him., once again Pahn, not Stefano She dare not move, or his discretions would be there for all to see and she would be ‘compromised’. She looked at Pahn and saw Stefano within. She wasn’t sure if she cared or dared. It was an intriguing position to be in. She had the two men within her grasp and hold. Th court looked at the now Emperor with his Empress and knew that there had been a shift in the balance of Power , throughout the Universe.
Ellarya , once again, hid her surprise, and nodded. Stefano , within Pahn , mumbled into her ear, “the cloaking of the twins, is for the rest of the court and your safety”. Pahn then said , “She was here with him, with Giovanni’s full consent. She was to remember that”. Ellarya looked at Emperor ,The Pahn and said, ” yes, that’s right, and I will honour him, in this space and time” .
Pahn, looked at her and said, ” will , you now “, are you so sure, you will be able to resist me”? Ellarya looked at both’ Pahn / Stefano with a subtle and defiant stare and said, “I have no intention of resisting you! “We will see, just what we can mange, shall , we hae some fun on this throne? “!
She suppressed the urge to laugh in his face, as a shiver of pure revulsion, shook through her. Stefano started to cry for her. She felt his tears, as, she suppressed her own. Our Lady Prime knew what would happen to her , if , she were to dare laugh in his face or openly defy him. She let his finger find her tongue and she let ir roam around, she was going to have to get used to the Pahn’s ways.
“The Silver Blue clan has departed and so must I, find out what is behind the Belladona Berries. You maybe Emperor , Monsieur Pahn, but I am still Prime! ” , “thanks to you an Empress Prime”. She wasn’t sure if she was talking to Pahn or to Beaumont. Either way, she knew that she was going to be invaded one way or another! . He had probed and pushed and penetrated her, in a way , she could not object. She had to remain diplomatic and demure. First time, she was so grateful for the protection of the layered dressing robes , she had been attired.Giovanni had insisted on dressing her before they left. She wasn’t sure if he knew , if it was his way of controlling her: this is what you say, this is what you do, this is what you wear, on and on. If she disobeyed him? It seemed one way or another to be under his control. He was the same Giovanni that had placed her in that bubble and killed her and their child.
Yet, she really missed Giovanni and she actually shed a few tears for him. She missed him. She missed him terribly. She missed him , that her heart ached for him. She missed him , like she had never missed him before. Actually, she could not remember a time or place when she did miss him , ever …. so , why , now? It must be the babies! His babies. She was still and listened and she heard it…. the humming draconus, central, cardiac beats of Ezkuziel. She could find him with those sounds. She could feel the flow of ‘SANG”, his blood flow. Yes, she was sure she was the only one hearing him. She bowed and humbly kissed the Emperor’s ring , which he then placed in his mouth, and licked his lips for her to see. With an icy stare, she requested permission to leave. It was granted with a smirk , which , implied, ” for now.”
She departed and went to her rooms. She disrobed as she entered Giovanni’s rooms, and let them drop , in layers, as she walked into the bathing room, and soaked , and washed and cried. However, she had that allegiance from the SilverBlue Clansmen. She wish she had a bubble wand ,to check on their twins. Giovanni was right, neither of them could cope with the loss of another son. They had to do something to save both babies. She heard it again. The drumming cardiac draconus beats and the ‘Sangflow’. The ‘Sangflow’ called her. She went into cocoon mode, so she could feel and connect and see the pathway to access and be with Ekuziel. The Draconus Angeles was looking for its rider, if she got there first?
Pahn was a “PIG” HE was engaging with her with such delicate subtlty , she was almost welcomed his overtures , the intricate , daring nature of his advances , so publically , had a height of danger and inticment to them., almost addicitve. She really did love that side of things. Gosh what would he do , if he saw her true dark self. She smirked and laughed within. . She would love to ” hog” tie him down and give him , a dose of his own medicine. She really love that role within her. If it hadn’t been for Stefano trying to restrain him , it would be much worse. She had guessed that he was going to demand that the old rule: observation of the couple consummating their marriage and partnership, was one that he really enjoyed. The Pahn really enjoyed such displays, he had the lower chambers of his Palace designed as such. Such was the positions of kings with their queens in the past , to assure the joining of the newly ” married Couple” !
The Umbral Lord was very good at host invasions, usually. He was not fully successful with this Creature. Pahn was evil , through and through. Stefano was not, that was the problem. One day, Ellarya decided , she was going to take those clan swords and slice right through Pahn for what , he did to her, in front of his court. This would leave her as Empress and Supreme.If the court noticed , no one let on they did. She wasn’t completely revulsed. It was after all a necessity. Giovanni had warned her the previous day during their bath. He told her she had to obey the Pahn and secure her position with him and await his return. He would then reclaim her as his wife and be Emperor with her! Giovanni warned her that if she betrayed him in this, their twins could be lost. She was gaing worlds for their children, all of them! He wanted a world for each one of his children , his sons as well as his daughters. Giovanni, said that their worlds was to be provincial and state Governors when they grew up! He wanted his daughters jointly in charge of Rosedrop World and his Sons, in charge of Planet Orchaidia . Giovanni was a big planner and dreamer and he had no hesitation to PIMP out his wife to get it!
In truth, Pahn , usually ,would make sure that there was nothing barring his way , conquer and invade, the chosen, right in front of his court. He would appear ,as if he was doing nothing more than, having a solemn conversation, getting a closer connection and welcome to his afternoon guest. He would have them, delicately invaded , until his dampness,subtly coated them both. Ellarya Prime, was saved this by the Umbral Lord’s quick thinking to use the dressing robes as protection. Thankfully, it worked. Lord Admiral Stefano looked at the space, she had occupied , long after she left. Pahn had momentarily gone into paused, relaxed suspension. Steve sat in his front of receiving room , now alone and waited. Giovanni stepped back in to the room from one of the hidden side entrances. ” She did well! Didn’t She”?
Stefano looked at him and said ,” she did”. Giovanni , said to him, “you really need to stop , mauling her like that! She doesn’t like it”! Stefano , said to him, Are you so sure ? ” Giovanni, ripped back at him, ” I am ” , you can’t bring ‘it ‘out of her, only I can do that! ” And with that , he looked at Stefano and said, Valentino says , “the poison berries, are because of the amulet that you took. Do you know what he means “? He also said, “you need to pay your debt. You know what he is talking about ? He said that he has written to you, your own heads of your governing factions and that , there has been stonewall- silence/ no response”. He said ,” that you have harmed children and starved families and usurped homes. What on earth ? Is he talking about. You know , I am a philanthropist and I don’t approve of such abhorrent deeds ,against any being “.
Stefano ‘s face looked worried and he replied, ” yes”, I took an amulet off the clan, the essence of it, helped to protect Ellarya and all her children and yours through space and time. I gave it to her in her bands and symbolized and entrusted and encrusted to her in a ring of mine. “
Giovanni, said to him, “Ohh, you mean , the ring you gave her when Jade was born “? Stefano , nodded in agreement. “You saw that? ” Giovanni , said , he did not, he felt it. There was a difference. ” Stefano , Giovanni, said to “him “, what are we going to do ? I don’t want to loose another son. ” Stefano , said to , him. ” we won’t”, the problem , is, someone , is trying to block your sons, before they arrive. They are trying to get at YOU! At me at “US” , this is our family Giovanni. We need to establish , “why” ? Someone , is trying to bring down our “house”! There is something , in the future, they are trying to ” block”! We must work out what it is!
Giovanni, nodded in agreement and went to join his wife. He had a delightful surprise for her. He had missed her , this afternoon. He never missed her. Not ever , not once, in all the years, but he did this day, and he was not sure, quite, why ?
Pahn went to his quarters, where, 4 attendants waited for him. They pampered and catered to his every whim, every wish and every sensual need, in a variety of poses and positions that pleased him greatly. Lord Admiral Stefano hovered and looked and left. He wasn’t sure how he was going to explain this. She looked really upset with him. Had never happened to him before , that , he could not fully control the host. Wow, this Pahn is something else with his sexual exploits and now he had his eyes set on Ellarya .
He had made her his Empress !
Pahn had a taste of her and he would go for more, of that Stefano was sure. Giovanni would have to kill him. He would kill him. Yes, he would have to go before the Consummation Wedding Night Party was planned.
He would tell Giovanni in the morning.He would have to reveal all to Giovanni , eventually. He figured the best way would be to “playback” , the afternoon for him. He would use dreamscape and their 7th eye connections with Ellarya and have her show him , what she endured. He decided that he needed to rest and play it all back for himself. As he observed, he realised that Elle was not as revulsed as he had thought. He caught her coy smiles and such look of “shocked” surprise , as , she actually played and moved in and out of his reach. He observed and realized that it was the other way around, Empress Ellarya Prime, was playing them all, including the Pahn. Her Darkness was dawning.
Giovanni went to his quarters, expecting to find Ellarya resting. He went into the bathing room and saw that she had cocooned herself. Something had happened. The cocoon was empty. He looked around. She had left. Had she gone back to her own space and time? Giovanni, could not see , the full extent of Pahn’s intrusion into Ellarya. But he knew , it had to be ,”that stupid Pahn”. He told, Stefano , he couldn’t get past that idiot. This was a chap who had what he wanted, anyway he wanted it. He was cruel and calculating. Much like ARYN, delved into the being , to know them, to conquer and manipulate.To get what he wanted, no matter the cost , the effect. As a Supreme leader, he had total control over his domain , his realm. He tolerated, no disobedience of any kind.
Well, if you can’t over power him, then you have to join him to get around him. He would have to find Stefano, he had to be lurking around somewhere not far. Taking over a host is very complicated. Perhaps, they should have included Ellarya , in their plans. They had figured the element of surprise would be the best approach. But was she upset about Pahn and his reach or touch or was it him ? Did Stefano , get through to her or had they both, upset the applecart , so , much, she would simply banish them both. She was one stubborn female, kind and sweet , but if and when you pissed her off! It was explosions of a very a murderous nature.
Stefano felt that everything had now changed between them. He was right. Ellarya would never be able to look at him again , with those unblinkered eyes. She would see him as he was, then, he was part of Pahn, a cold -hearted tyrant, cruel and power hungry. She knew , he was NOT Pahn, maybe he was worse/ He had afterall joined with the Pahn and he was there and present as they both touch, probed, licked , twisted , delved in and out of her. They had put her through alot and she smiled and played and glittered and flowed and glowed and sent out lovely colourful light bursts and really put on quite a show for them all that afternoon. IT was as if she had instigated the whole thing and was in charge of them all! She really did lean into him just once too often , to totally be revulsed by the Pahn !
She was now an Empress , with all the enhancements and gifts that came with her new position and POWER!
Time would heal, perhaps, perhaps not.
She would look at him differently, feelings between them, now changed.
He was not ever sure, if they would return.
She wasn’t sure , if he would ever care?
He did. ( Giovanni)
He always did.( Stefano, like all men of power, he wanted to retain what he had conquered and thought of as his. )
Giovanni could feel , his beloved upset. He could feel it. How to eat ” humble pie” ! She is going to let rip at them both! He knew it. Giovanni , decided it was time to get some rest. Find Stefano and they would have to ” tackle ” Empress Ellarya Prime! together.
Our Empress had turned her impossible position , being at the receiving end of the worst from , some friends, from colleagues , from some neighbours , when she was helpless and powerless to fight back, when her kindness and generosity and belief in her ” friends” was taken full advantage , at that bottomless pit of despair, SHE FOUND HER POWER!
They would need help! Time to get to Ekuziel, the great Draconcus Angeles.
This particular chapter is dedicated to those who found themselves compromised. To anyone , who has felt powerless to do anything ,because someone ‘cornered you’. To the system that ,would ‘blame you’, that needs to change attitudes that recognize and support, hear and see you.
Equally, to anyone who has been unjustly accused and persecuted. To the ‘innocent’, falsely accused, that same system that,’ blames you’ .To all who didn’t listen.
For time to show that you stood up regardless of being ‘cornered’, either way.
May circumstances and life help you find your way and feet again.
This is mine.
Be Well.

When a GIRLFRIEND, your best friend betrays you. Your heart breaks. You feel pain and despair, like no other. “BEST FRIEND”, nothing else. Simple pure friendship. Elle would grow to realise , her best friend was the same best friend she always had, since CHILDHOOD. Despite all the year apart , since their early learning years , thet were still BEST FRIENDs. Ella and Dara Hielander and their children and all their sisters would remains friends, into the generations. There was only one brother among the Girls: Antoine Dominequay.
What do you do when someone is so unhappy within themselves, all they do is create havoc around them? For you. For everyone around them.

Lord Beaumont had come through the channel , to find out about ARYN.
Ellarya came through the channel ,because of curiosity .
Giovanni came through the channel for power and control.
Aryn/ Araswati was caught in limbo within time. Araswati was bound within THRC. THRC, was in fact a sacred and protected place. The waters that flowed through it ,trickled down from the Jai ladders themselves. They dripped into the Mountain Ranges of Rosedrop World , flowed down and into the surround. The waters were of both Generate and Degenerate Origins, Light was attracted to light and Dark was joined and flowed into the Dark.
Xichan was back in time with Lord Zohan. Their clan were experts in espionage and had experts in poison, antidotes and medicine. Their expert was Xichan. He was bound to an ancient sect as well as his clan. They were Worlocks , Assassins, Shape Shifters.
Lord Beaumont had come back into this point in time , to see if he was bound to someone , that had the capabilities of destroying them all individually, to pick them off one by one. He used his umbral capabilities to undertake covert surveillance.
Ellarya and Giovanni woke up the next morning, vacating the emperor’s borrowed quarters. Giovanni lead Elle back to his own suite of rooms, within the Ambassador’s quarters within the palace. This was how it was run. He sttipped off and said , let’s have a bath before we go. He grabbed Elle’ s hand and showed her the sunken bath which was ready for them. He stepped down first. The water was milky with oat essence and rose petals. It was warm and soothing. He said look, I have your favorite- lavender soap and all the creams you like. She looked and saw that he had everything perfect for her just the way she liked.
The bathing room was unique: teak and black onyx slates. The bath was oval and sunken, you stepped down into it. The sides were smooth and laden with ferns, and foliage. Lotus flowers and hibiscus blooms scented the room. The sides of the room also went up in steps of black onyx slates with teak wooden planks that were smooth and scented with a combination of teak and linseed oils. The foliage was dotted up and down and trickles of waterfall droplets cascaded down. The room was heated from the earth below so it steam. Water had its own drainage system through to the back ponds which went through a series of reed ponds to filtrate and be one. The back ponds were dotted through the gardens. There were regions of water collection that came from rain and channelled to water the gardens and be treated and utilized within the back gardens.
The palaces gardens were lovely and steeped with flowers and food and natural anamules that blended into the landscape. They were the magical inhabitants that made up Emperor Pahn’s Realm.
Elle looked at her husband ( in this space and time ) and said to him ,”how did you know “? Giovanni said, “we have to find out about the Belladonia. Stefano needs to find out about Zohan and this was the best way.
Yra and the nannies have taken up the mantle” Ellarya said,” they are going to take my shop from me.Bigotry and old fashioned racism,;that board doesn’t like anyone different like us ! What can I do Giovanni, we all worked so hard ?” Gio replied, ” there is nothing you can do Ellarya when the people within the system decide to target you. They all make sure , “the tides” turns against you! It is short lived. They don’t know , who theya re targeting. You have learned this lesson before.
You know this from your training and having to repeat all those exams. It wasn’t you that failed, they failed you because they wanted your Dad’s money. Figured you were foreign to them, so make you pay and pay again. Did you know they tried it once too often. Another school, tried it and the student took their own life. Plans like that always have a way of backfiring .
Yes, they went on to target , what they considered ” home grown” but still foreign, like you. You predicted well their next planned targets. You told your parents. They were aware. So , no surprises when it happened. You persisted. I am still so very proud of you.
You are strong and formidable. You did very well, in the end. Come here and let me ‘ wash your back for you.’ How are my babies doing? No bubble wand here at the moment. Are you feeling ok ? You enjoyed ‘us’ last night didn’t you? Allura ,we have a long trip ahead of us. Ekuziel’s Cave is far away. It is at the edge of this realm . He lives in the Whispering Woods of the Ancients. Lovely old forest. The trees talk to you.”
On and on he went. Elle realized he was nervous. “What is wrong , my blue eyes ?” He looked at her and tears fell, it had been many years , since he heard her call him that.He looked at her and said, “what if it doesn’t work ? What if he says ” No”! Tristan more than likes you , you know. He always has. We will save our child and I will loose you. That will be his ask. He will ask for you because, that is what , I would do ! “
Ellarya , said, “do you think we will get to the bottom of the Belladonia Berries? He will ask that of me , won’t he! We will save our sons, first , then work out the rest. Right now that doesn’t matter. It is one step at a time. We have to get to Ekuziel, first. Do we fly ? Don’t we have our own dragons here”? Giovanni said they did: the great great grandparents of their present drakes. Same names that just get passed down their line.
They finished getting ready and were about to depart to summon their Drakes, word was sent that Emperor Pahn had sent for Giovanni and Ellarya. They could not leave , as yet. their audience was to be the following day. Gio assured Elle , as time was on their side right now.
Lord Beaumont came bounding in. He was breathless and sobbing. She did it. He did it. I havto be sure, “Muffin”! The Belladonia Berries are the very same that poisoned you. They are in Zohan’s private stash. The question is ? HOW DID THEY GET THERE ? He looked at them both, Smiled and nodded at Giovanni and was off. He left with a murderous gleam in his eye.
Giovanni gave a low whistle. Ellarya, my lover, we have another day together. What shall we do ? Giovanni looked at her and said , “let’s go for a walk, not a flight, a walk.” Look at this from a different perspective and enjoy this time together. Elle asked , can we save or ” Ritchie”? ( Richard, their lost son, always grieving for him) Can we bring him back ? Can we do that ? Giovanni, hugged her . ” No, no we can’t! But we can save these ones. We have Jiery now, don’t we? Come Elle, we are in a fantastic place in an ancient time and we can enjoy being together without interference here , in this time, you are my first and only wife. Does that help you ? He smiled at her. He was the Giovanni she remembered, the one that was her childhood friend, the one who loved her and was all the things a “husband/ partner” should be: loving , protective, respectful, recognition of all her abilities ( within the home and outside the home).
Elle’s next memory as they walked ,was her entrapment by him. He looked at her and his blue eyes went dark. He said to her , in a low deep voice, “you have remembered, haven’t you” ? She nodded! He laughed a wicked laugh as they walked. “My dearest heart and wife, that is all in the past”. We will enjoy this day and see what our Emperor Pahn wants of us. We need to show Pahn , a united front. He smiled at her again, his eyes , going back to the light. They had walked down along path into the Palace Gardens. He lead her to a small Gazebo, enclosed and secluded. He banged a small gong and waited.” Lunch please, he told the assistant , then leave us “!
Gio looked at her and asked, Elle , dearest, my love, darling,” do you remember the Fall?” She nodded she did. Ellarya said “,why,” ? ,One teardrop fell from the corner of each eye: one blood red teardrop and one black ,bloody, venomous teardrop .HE looked at her again- with deep dark eyes that glowed with red fire behind them, in a voice deeper and harsher than she had not heard for a great many years , Giovanni replied ,”because, you were going to leave me “. You know, I will not ever allow that to happen. Actually, it was the same ‘horrific ‘voice, he used when he kidnapped and enslaved her, before sending her to her death. She remembered it all , so , very well. The fall, then just darkness and nothing. Nothing was not light, was not dark, was NOT even the Void. Elle had gone into suspension , between worlds, her light held within the palms of both light and darkness, until it was decided by the Celestial & Diablo beings which was she would return. They held her in suspension, waiting for her return into and amongst her ” friends” again. New lifecycle , same friends. You can’t get away from them ever, their spirits and essence remained connected.
Come meet our drakes, Giovanni, summoned them and Alagron’s great , great , great grand father arrived, first. He looked at Ellarya , leered and smiled. His forked tongue went out to her as she bowed down to greet him as was the custom. He allowed her to rise and Giovanni said touch him , so he can see everything. Giovanni pulled her in front of him. Alagron’s most Ancient Father, slipped out his tongue to her. He took her from Giovanni and teased her onto his front paw. She stepped into its palm. He manipulated a front claw , around her. He sat back. He said to her, slip out of that dress garment and let me see you. She held his gaze and did just as she was bid. His tongue , traced all the regions that his great, grea,t great grandson had explored. He made Giovanni watch the exploration. He held her , directly in the line of site, so he could take it all in. Giovanni was enraged, could do nothing, Their 7th Eye memory videos replayed for them, the 3 of them. He made her feel it all , as , re- connected and kindled their acquaintance. She felt his claws, surrounding her and sinking into her skin. He was imprinting on her again. He was puncturing her with microinjections of his own blood , saliva, sweat and being into her. He was avenging the loss of his heir. He held her as she re- lived it all, including how they battled with each other. The drake , finally , withdrew from her hand and blew fire and ice in the air when he saw that his great great great grandson had periled, by his own heinous ,lustrous acts. Alagron’s Ancient father had not as yet finished with her. He was not the source, that had yet to come. This was a start. Giovanni recovered his wife and helped her to dress. He was going to smooth over the regions of the darkened bruising micropunctures, Ellarya looked at him and held his hands as they blended the darkness over her. She stepped close to him as he pulled up her garments and secured them for her. Their eyes met and the red hot fire burned behind them and within them both.
You got that , he whispered to her. She smiled and kissed him. I did ! No one will ever harm our sons again. Come she said to him, we need to get to Ezuziel , to get that blessing , and secure their lives. Giovanni asked her , how was it ? Giovanni, she said, you know exactly , how it was and is and how , I am!
“Ellarya “Giovanni, said to her, “this is how we need to be when we meet the Emperor Pahn. We need to be strong , together and one when we meet him. He will try to look, right through you. Don’t let him. Use this vision of us fighting together and defeating a traitor , a drake and let him see our skills together. It is very important. We will hide our twins from him. We will need to cloak them. Come, let’s nap, this has been tiring. In dreamscape, the cloaking will commence. We need to protect our sons , that is why, you have been reminded of these events.” Ellarya nodded, as she settled down beside him. He sang to her , something, he had not done for along , long time. Dreamscape pulled them back, through the channels , into the time when they were first together and happy. Ellarya was very happy with all the memories. She had remembered , the ” source”! She remembered “him”! Ohh she had missed him! She had hid this from Giovanni and let him see and play out himself, as her Dark Lord. He wasn’t! He wasn’t even close! The babies were hers, all hers, and hers alone!
Mymsha arrived and guarded them both. Shyvra was in this realms Dragon’s Nest Cave. As they slept, Mymsha used Draconian Magic to shield and cloak the twins. She gave them the lifeforce infusion, that she was allowed to give to Ellarya and Giovanni. She tried to give them teh foresignt and insight, needed to out manoeuvre the obstacles and entrapments ahead. The drakes hoped with this support , they would reach the Dracon Angeles, Ekuziel. Ekuziel was of pure light. They worried , everyone , he would reject Elle and her babies , along with Giovanni. They danced with the dark too often. Ellarya was beginning to have a yearning for it. This friendship with Yra and them sharing Giovanni was turning into something , none of them had anticipated. Ellarya thoroughly enjoyed Yra ‘s company and teachings. They spent a lot of time together. Elle had even spent a few nights wrapped up in her pod in dTHRC. She was becoming one with the pain that had been inflicted on her!
Ellarya and Giovanni slept on into late afternoon, then headed back to the palace for the evening festivities. They made a brief, show of face and retired to Giovanni’s rooms early. They spent along and passionate night together.The passion had changed, their was now pain.
Painful Memories started to obliterated the good ones.
Pain and Passion with Giovanni were always part of their ” love”, obsession with each other.Elle had learned that when it became too much, he would leave and go back to his other family. She had changed. She had learned that his return to his ” other” life , was simply for him to gather his strengths, his being, his dark passion with all its brutality and cruelty. to return to her. Yes, his road trips were designed to gather more and more of those dark elements to come and ” play” with her! She was starting to love when those “Blue Eyes” of hers , within him, turned ” BLACK”! Yes, he would make her blood black tears fall and fall. He would inflict such cruelty with his love to her, she could not wait , until , the Universe decided to pay ” him ” back! Would she step in to save him?
They really should learn to leave each other alone. Giovanni knew this, but felt that time was not quite yet upon them. She was his, in the dark , by her own free will. Yes, Elle was still very alluring to him, beautiful in her darkness. He was her Dark Lord after all, or so he thought!
