The powder room in Stefano ‘s place had the secret passage to the other world. Ellarya was resting after healing and being with Stefano. He had fully recovered from the blackening of his heart. He kissed her and left her where she was with a note that when she was ready , she was to wear his bands. He had given her a number of them over the years. She was to wear them and remember him. He wasn’t sure when he would be back. It would be over 6 years, before he returned to her.
The passage was left open by mistake. They had accidently triggered the release. Steve had not noticed before he left. Ellarya found it and went through. It carried her through flutter lanes traveling through space and time into Planet Orchaidia.
Planet Orchaidia had blue – lavender – pink horizon. Its water and lands were opposite to that of Rosedrop World so they balanced. The two sides of the ponds were two different worlds: one of the Old World and one of the Asian World. Old World was an Opulent Venetian Court, the presiding Governor, was a chap by the name of Giacoma Valentino. He was blonde, strong and beautiful. He loved beautiful things and he loved beautiful exotic women. He had his own palace with its own courtiers and impressive , expansive gardens. His world was North of the pond.
The south pole of this world , was Asian origin, with two domains with a Maharaja and the other an Emperor. They two had opulent palaces , gardens with their respectful peoples and heritage.
They were mixtures of Dragonflairies, Butterflairies, Scarab and Cricket and Cobra flairies.. The skies were full of drakes. The blue skies were over Giacoma’s palace, Lavender over Lord Zohan’s realm and pink over our Maharaja’s place. The scents , the food, the aromas reflected the respective heritage.
Lord Beaumont , using his umbral cloak had gone into the Zohan’s realm and took the Amulet for Ellarya , many years in the past. This was so she would have the power to save him. His Drake Ekuziel was a Draconus Angeles, he was a Dragon Angel. Through Dragon speak , he had foretold Stefano what was needed to be done , so , he could assure his own recovery from Giovanni’s attack. Ellarya had seen this in the Dark Mirror and between them both. Lord Admiral Beaumont survived.
Ellarya had left Lord Beaumont a compass, which he kept on his person, so, he could find his way home to her. It was how he was able to find her again. On departing Ellarya , this time, he left her the compass, he left with a piece of his heart within it, for her to keep. He could stop and listen and hear how she was progressing at anytime and her twins. , Giovanni’s twins. He had no idea , how he was going to control Giovanni’s wicked streak and jealousy. He knew Ellarya was going to take the brunt of it from all sides.
Zohan had been stricken down into different planes of the void. Ary changed into ARYN and snuck out to find him. He was transected and dispersed and ARYN could not recover Lord Zohan on his own. Aryn had to leave THRC but was stuck inside. Elle had bound the Butterflairy Tree and the caves and dungeons beneath. No one could leave. Aryn roared and flashed and banged his head against the stone wall. No one cared. No one came.
Elle had caught hold of Steve before he left her with the compass. He had put it down just a little two softly and she awoke. She looked at him, sat up and said to him, ” you don’t get to ESCAPE ” me that easily. He smiled and gave her a little more of his very specific attention and left.
Ellarya went into the powder room and found the secret passage. She stepped out into Lord Zohan’s realm. She was changed. She was one of his princesses. She had gone back in time, to their stolen joint histories where Lords Xichan and Lord Zohan were apart of the same clan. The Leader of the Clan , Emperor Tao PAHN , was a cruel man with a blackened hearts and was a Dracon DragonFlairy, which meant he had properties of a DRAGON. He could breathe fire and ice depending on his mood. His hair was straight black and shone with a blue hue. He had strong features and a noble kind of face: strong jawline, with a straight nose , high cheek bones. He was a beautiful strong man within himself. He prided himself on his appearance and strong physical appearance. He was swift and nibble. He ran his court with an iron grip. He loved beautiful men as well as women and devoured them both with equal attentions. He always had more than one companion with him. He was a voyeur , a barbarian and he often combined his cruelty with his voyeurisms. His court was rich and flush with all its own special luxurious features. He had courtiers . Each courtier had his/ her own attendant. He was not sexist in that he allowed women to be his courtiers as well, for a price. A very specific and hefty price. A women courtier had to prove their worth first as a courtesan with him. Med too. It is ,within, this court and atmosphere that Lords Xichan and Zohan became more than clansman to one another.
Ellarya was known as the ‘ Princess Zenya’ . She had completely changed in the transition, her pregnancy was camouflaged . Upon her arrival, the passage,on the other side ,opened into another powder room .Giovanni was beside her. She looked at him and said how? Her wrists burned and he said that’s how. I told you- you can never escape me. I came here to show you something. You don’t really think, I am going to let you go anywhere with my babies inside you, do you ? He held her and kissed and welcomed her to him.
She pulled back slightly and looked at him and asked him about blackening Stefano’s heart. He laughed at her and kissed her and said to her, well, you saved him didn’t you ? How much did you learn? How much of your gifts and healing powers do you now control. Do you think that you can get anywhere, without me making you come into your own being? Remember this Ellarya , you are mine in the dark always and those are my sons you are carrying. We are here in this time because, in 6 weeks, one of the babies will be lost and we are here to prevent that. Ellarya was alarmed , ” what “? Before she could finish her ask, he kissed her again.. She squirmed slightly , as Giovanni , kissed and explored her and said to her , ” didn’t you miss me ” ?
Giovanni continued to her, “we can’t loose another boy. We won’t be able to take that , neither of us. Come and see. Giovanni was Ellarya ‘s Lord in this realm in time and space. She belonged to him and him alone. He was himself in this court. He was the Ambassador , of the Venetian Court , and Ellarya was still Ellarya . It was insisted when in Pahn’s Palaces, she wore his bespoken attire that he chose for her. Giovanni allowed this concession , as diplomatic manoeuvre and she was known to Pahn as the ” Princess Zenya”. Ellarya. Giovanni, advised her, ,”We are expected in the Emperor’s private room for tea”. They went through the long hauls and passageways , up the stairs to the grand balcony and waited to be called in. The doors to his private room opened and there on the grand bed was Lord Beaumont, “come”, he said to them,” quickly, look at them”. They have come back from their latest raids and have the Belladonna berries. The very same ones that were in THRC. “Do you see ? Ary has been travelling and cheating on all of us with that fool Lord Zohan. I wish he wasn’t so good looking and such a I swordsman. Giovanni, it will take both you and Tristan to cut him down. Ellarya she will ask you to go into the void to retrieve his pieces. You won’t have a choice. She will harness your love for me and hold you hostage”.
Steve took Giovanni’s hand and said that was hard ,the blackening of the heart. She did well, didn’t she! Ellarya looked at them both? “YOU PLANNED THIS “? She screamed?” REALLY” ?
Giovanni said , “it was the only way for you to learn and gain your next set of bands and skills”. ” Why, are we here? Steve? , ” Ellarya asked .”You let that passageway, be left open , knowing , I would come through?” “He nodded! “How many times , Ellarya have I told you not to be so curious and not to go through anything new without telling one of us “? She looked at them both and said ” OK” !
Giovanni said, “we are here to save our boys. How”? Lord Admiral Beaumont replied , “You have to go and venture to the Dragon Angels Caves. You need to find Ekuziel and ask him for your sons ‘life, in the future. The price for this is you will have to go and retrieve Lord Zohan yourself and you will have to tell Tristan why. Tristan will make a demand of you and you are to keep that demand, whatever , he asks. You are to give him blindly for without this blind faith and ask, one of your son’s by Giovanni will pass”.
Giovanni looked at her and said heated her wrists, both of them and her ankles. He drew her to him with their threads. She had returned to her butterflairy form, the one that he loved, so much, breathing fire and ice and blood. Steve was mesmerized with her transformation. Giovanni said to them both: ” Bound to me in darkness, ALWAYS, and those are my sons. You will do ,whatever, he asks. You understand Ellarya “. He pulled her to him harshly. Stefano bowed to him and left, as the Emperor of the Realm. He was using his umbral skills to impersonate the fierce leader. Pan , himself was, ”otherwise” ,engaged within one of his ” Special Rooms” with 4 companions. HE was being lenient with them all. He loved to watch.
Why here ? Ellarya asked Giovanni? Giovanni replied to her, the amulet ‘s origin’s that Steve gave you come from this realm. I need to make sure, no one has more power over you, than me. You can’t run my darling Elle. Our departure for Ekuziel will be tomorrow. Ellarya, my dearest , Sweetheart , do you remember our wedding night ? She nodded ,smiled, backed up ,as he approached her and said to her, as she remembered her own words, as Giovanni , whispered them to her ,
” MY TURN”!
Happy “Chinese” New Year 2024- Year of the Wooden Dragon, for all those who Celebrate. Joy, Peace,Prosperity and Health
