This night reveals your lies, as your legacy dies.
Red Eyes
GLOW BLOOD
Daggers Stike
Blue Eyes Fade
The Great Voices , are NOT like Great Wine, they simply gave UP and our Universe: CRIED
the GLOW turns GREEN and Poison AVY has come forth and flies HIGH,
Under the Blood Moon Red Sky.
Tristan was King of the Gargoyles, the bands of bees ,theKOSS; Knights of Socrates Service ,were of dark blood and light. He was a sensitive Monster and Ellarya looked at him and said , WTF, happened to YOU.
He said, this : this is what happened to me, Mrs. Niccodemus.
Ellarya felt herself go cold.
He read and She remembered and CRIED.
Giovanni, had written to her, it was many , many moons ago.
Dear Elle,
We have had such a close relationship over the years. No one will give their blessing . NO one will want to see ” US ” together. I would like to try, if you are willing ?
You know , I have very specific circumstances with my hopes for my Career and ” life” , in the other Realms, but I promise : ALWAYS , to return to YOU.
Some friends will claim to want to see you : “happy” , don’t be fooled!
Know that I am the one that LOVES YOU!
Remember this .
When you hear my work, my voice , like a series of Songs…..you know which ones are for YOU❤️X❤️.
Thank you ,( always ) for loving me.
Giovanni Niccodemus
Elle looked at him : you SMASHED the Xrsytal Orb, to get that !
Why did YOU , SMASH IT ? That was the only way for that to be revealed and releaseed.
Heston put it there safely !
That is why you have come like this ?
King of the Guards, You are still my Captain – Go HOME.
Giovanni will come soon now.
He always does.
Blood Dark Black Tears, dripped down as BLACK RAIN , from the Blood Moon Sky .
Vibrations were sent out.
GIOVANNI heard his words, he remembered them.
Damn…. he owed her.
He owed her alot. ……
He remembered that letter, they were still in High School. He had snuck over. Soon after, he remembered what and how he was going to ask her to be with him….. He flew up , up , up into the Universe, he hit the place he took her and danced with that Memory in the Eclipse of the Blood Moon .
He danced with his wife and recalled one of their last conversations:
Honey, don’t be upset or worry. I will make sure that you keep a roof over your head. I have Tristan , looking for houses for you. I can’t work here at the moment , I must return to the other Realm and work there, otherwise , the Voices won’t work. I have my Crew there .
Don’t talk , honey.
It’s ok, just listen, I will keep you safe. I will keep all of YOU safe, you are my family. Stefano will be coming soon and do what must be done.
He came back and moved and danced in memory with his wife and cried, he looked into her hearts and there he saw , he was no longer there.
Heston played and called her back.
His strings and strength , pulled her back and brought her HOME to HIM.
Heston held her under the Blood Moon Sky, and pulled her back down into the Oasis ,that took her HOME.
The sounds of that distant homeland , permeated through to her bones.
They all sat and listened to his brilliance, his genius and his aura was felt by all, some more than others.
Tears flow, rivers were formed :TRS Julius was starstruck, himself, sat: silent and transformed.
Heston listened and ascended , he joined in and there it was, the sounds that were craved. The feelings that made us live, love and say TODAY is a GREAT DAY., a FANTASTIC DAY ! Celebrate.
The pair breathed life and light into the Darkness that had engulfed them.
Heston’s Dark side shone with light, love and all his glorious gifts.
A small white light shone in the distance and was getting closer. The star had a masculinity to its aura . He had wings and came closer and arrived. He was another “ player. A musician , composer , author extraordinaire. He was silent , resilient. He made a difference, the sound grew and grew and developed.
No one moved. Everyone listened.
Ellarya shed tears that flowed. She hung in mid air and hovered. Beauty of the sounds they produced .
THEN, the deep internal proprioceptive vibrations were joined by the SOUNDS OF THUNDER! He kept the beat. Symbols danced across the sky as Thunder erupted and joined the glorious CHORUS ! Magickal sounds .
Annapurina loomed , you felt her , heard her. She was sending out her call for her people and their leader to return home to her. Anna , Anna , Annapurina : her vibe, her sound, her thoughts…. sent out. Time to RETURN HOME!
They were now complete: The Songbird, The Dark Lord, The White Angel and Thunder. Gods they were. They sounded , the Hammers of the Gods cried out : and it was felt, loved and more than endured. It sent up bright light , all of the colours of the both dark and light Rainbows came out from them. Vibrations , Sensations , they were an ERA into ETERNITY , in tbeir own right. They built a Stairway that went up and up into the Celestial Skys and rang the bells of Our Universe . They tipped and see sawed the Jai ladders. They ROCKED OUR UNIVERSES and brought happiness and joy into every reach and stretch of every being , planet and intermediary planetary rock. Nebules were birthed and Suns re-born. They were STARS , they aligned. There they would stay. The Universe had re- aligned.
The Hammers of the GODS had SPOKEN! Wonder, Beauty , Joy and Happiness : pure and simple is what they gave. The hammers continued to fall , the sounds and sensations wrapped in genius and love were more than special : it was a lifeforce and source in one for anyone who felt them ,heard them and understood. You became joined and became one with them and transformed… pure: POWER! MAGICK ! STRENGTH!
Return HOME, those sounds, that time, how we all loved THEM .
Return Home, Anna.
ANNAPURINA
Songbird: Voice.
Dark Lord: Vibrations
White Angel: Bass Notes and Unicorn keynotes
THUNDER: the sound , the beat , its heartbeat: loved , lost and missed, returned this NIGHT. His sound and beat joined and felt.
Altogether they were and stood for the Hammer of the Gods.
They played until the Moon said ” Good Night ” and slowly turned her head and the Sun Arose.
The company started to disperse.
The Last Supper was over.
The Sounds dispersed the heaviness of what had been done and brought to light the next steps.
As the room, transformed back into Heston’s place, Sir Michael finally spoke.
And the last Christ relic to begotten is his blood, more precisely a drop of his blood live and fresh from his heart.
You have your list : Crown of Thorns, the Sword that pierced his side and Blood droplet.
That’s it.
You have until each turn of the coming Seasons, to be met by each Equinox and Solstice , if you do not there will be a penalty applied ! A delightful , joyfully painful Penalty which I will thoroughly enjoy giving out myself.
Ellarya looked at him and knew what would happen and the price and sacrifice that had been demanded of her and her Crew. She looked at Tristan and tKoss and they floated up.
They changed. Tristan was his beautiful self and his band of guards and killer bees transformed into a more discerning and powerful force.
The Gargoyles had finally revealed themself: The Lady’s Guard. Tristan never to disappoint , took hold of Ellarya and before the others could move tKoss flew into a ring around her , as Tristan flew her up and out before the ceiling closed down and Heston’s Palace was back to its enclosed Resident form.
Heston tagged onto the tail of the last Gargoyle and slipped through into OBLIVION.
The Songbird’s lament sounded
The Angel spread his Wings , returned to his glowing light and floated away.
Thunder remained and descended to Heston’s lower levels.
Michael found Heston’s room and laid himself out on his bed and transcended.
The Race was on.
He knew where every relic was!
Ha.
She would loose.
He smirked knowing She would always loose.
Giovanni was delighted.
Stefano was no where , hiding in his dungeon.
The Jankus took flight, a true snitchmunk .The Jankus loved to not show and tell but tell and show off !
Araswati, Kurghan – Ma danced. She spread out her many winged arms . Her slug like body had thinned … and her dancing feet , were heavy , clumsy and club – like ! She waddled and weaved and wobbled her dance ! Her balance was off ! She covered her lack of poise with a fall.She rolled over and after many attempts, finally managed to get semi – upright !
The dance went on with cursing and blood lust … the were after me he blood of Christ after all!
Yra had an idea. She went to join her friend.
ANNAPURINA had let out a cry and called her people : HOME.
Thank you for the Music, The Sounds they Made , the Tours they Took, the Albums they left us.
She listened and if she could get to him, she had decided.
She was going to reach him , finally, one way or another.
She was getting to him.
The BEAR JAWS drooled and hung in the air as the Last Supper continued.
As SHE SPOKE and read out loud what they had done to her, her emotions showed on her WINGS, her colours changed. She dripped with all colours of emotion and blood her sequins and crystallized blood drops and cells , erupted from her in an array of pyrotechnics .
Explosions and tears of all the Rainbow colours, of light , more of Darkness.
She was changing, again.
The golden nuggets sprayed out like the blood spray of being attacked. The golden nuggets fell as coin onto the ground. They lite up like fire and burned. Magick Money that disintegrated when touched.
Only the ” annointed” one could collect it.
She read , the tongue came out , it increased in its SALIVATION and it seemed as if the Heavens had opened up and were crying. The down pour continued and the ” golden ” nuggets continued to fall and burn. A great loss , that fell like that because THE DEBT was NEVER RE-PAID.
IT WAS TIME!
Heston had spread out his invisible UMBRELLA and the Salivation drops pelted down and ran off the sides, no one was drenched in the sticky oozy wet.
The meal continued, the order of beings listened. and Zeus began to change as his fury engulfed and over took him. This was now going to be in the hands of the Gods , THE GODDESSS HERSELF : heard her.
She had spoken to her many times before.
Araswati had NEVER been spoken to EVER. NOR WOULD SHE : FOR SINS AGAINST THE SOUL, THE UNIVERSE FOR HURTING BABIES, CHILDREN. She wasn’t a mother. She didn’t know what it was to be a mother. She only knew how to spurn out DESTRUCTION, LIES, BETRAYAL and FALSENESS.
The Khurghan- Ma didn’t know what that was. She was would NEVER be touched by the GODDESS, that SOUND. She claimed to me more than she was or did she under claim , the beastly witch , the Kurghan- Ma, a SLAVE Witch for Eternity. She was the consummate LIAR , had all the training, the only thing that was true was …………well, it didn’t matter because the LIAR, TRAITOR , BETRAYER ,in her always WON OUT.
Sadly , the good flairy that never was that Elle thought was her friend and worked so hard for was nothing but a LOUSY GREY MOTH , after all. Did her talent matter: NO, no it didn’t BECAUSE!
BECAUSE.
BECAUSE, She was dishonest about that too: trying to always go beyond the usual boundaries of decency and honesty, She delved into voracious frontiers to escape truth and friendship. The Kurghan- Ma was CHAOS and a departure from Serenity.A Departure from Faith. An Evolution into Deceit : called “MARRIAGE”. Into Infinity this went on.
And ON…
AND ON: infinity of lies, evolution of deceit, a departure from serenity, an ESCAPE from truth , setting new frontiers of soul ,destroying sadness.
They would all have to face a trial by brimstone and fire : THE FIRE TRIALS.
Yra , her friend ,her beautiful and kind and trusting friend: that is all Elle cared about, that She and their children were OK. Everyone fuming at how he had treated Dyandra- imagine hiding the violence he been perpetrated on her all these years. Elle had inquired about it a couple of times. She had strong suspicions about him , in that regard, sadly . She was NOT told the truth, yet again. She was set up to be pulverized in a different way, worse than anything she had ever known.
The Read OUT went On.
The Last Supper was a Banquet , ” enjoyment” by the dinner guests.
The table was set , the food and drink flowed to the head table and all the guests. The expanse was huge and the food seemed to automatically replenish itself by Magick there was enough like fish and wine , there was enough.
The array and spray of the Golden Nuggets continued, the fire flames consummed them waiting for the annoited one to come.
The loss of the Motorwings , came next. The vibrations and exultations of them all. Tristan and Jerrick were maddened when they heard this! The question was why didn’t either of them FIX IT ? They had their own and rounded in and of the planetary , universal expanse , having a whale of a time spreading their own particular joy and greetings.
It went silent as the first of the Christ lost Antiquities was sounded out: His Crown of Thorns was to be re- captured and returned to St. Michael. He needed it : to draw blood!
The Songbird’s Lament continued.
He cried for her.
She heard him.
She could not reach him.
Zeus was getting impatient. He started to play with his thunderbolt and tried to catch the golden nuggets before they fell and burst into flames.
Zeus became a slight distraction. He grew impatient for Ellarya and was getting tired of this litany of events. He wanted more from her.
She had not put “it” together . Did She have an inkling of what was to come ?Perhaps, She did! Perhaps, SHE DID!
The Coin, the MotorWings , what was next…. Oh YES:
Her JOB.
Her HOME.
Her Profession.
Ellarya found out SHE was more. She had been stripped of EVERYTHING!
One by one by two by two ,as they had walked into her life, then left ?Or did SHE leave them ?
Her way of life, how it affected the children. As he listened ,he felt a deep anguish and anger.
The 2nd Christ Antiquity needed to be re- claimed: it was the SWORD that had pierced his side.
Zeus began to change, as he caught the coin and his thunderbolt burst and let off an array of bolts. With each coin toss and lightening bolt eruption: feathers started to appear from him. It was subtle and first and then, dramatically, he burst into flames and flew up , as the SONGBIRD : HE WAS: THE GOLDEN GOD : HIMSELF, like a FIRE PHOENIX , He took flight and was REBORN!
Ellarya looked at him: STUNNED INTO COMPLETE SILENCE!
He had the Dinner Gong rang and watched as they came in and took their place .
They came in two by two by two.
They came in order, from the smallest Crustacean to the largest Humalian Being.
As they filed in the front room , simply melted away.
The expansive picture window simply disappeared into thin air, and expanded into the open air.
The flying beings from the smallest Batling , to the largest flying feathered Reptile.
They all took their places.
The constellations came down !
The “Stars”descended and joined the listening audience !
All the Signs of tbe Zodiac were represented :
Aries,
TAURUS,
Gemini,
Cancer,
Leo,
Virgo,
LIbra,
SCORPIO
Sagittarius,
CAPRICORN,
Aquarius,
Pisces.
Around the Heston’s Dining table the empty chairs , waited.
They came in one by one by one:
Stefano.
Giovanni.
The Jankus flew in and landed.
Jerrick and Tristan dropped in.
The Celestial 7 with our trio of ladies ,as well, as the Diablo 7 with their special Trio of ladies.
All the ladies, ha ha ha:” GLARED” ,at him. HIM being : Giovanni ! He looked down at each one. Looked them UP and Down and SMILED , his SILENT , ever so, COOL SMILE. Dangerous : indeed. Soft, Quiet, DEADLY.
Ellarya had let it be know what he had done to Dyandra ! Dyandra had called her for help and assistance. The WORLD changed: that call made Dyandra : her “Friend”.
No forgiveness there, not from any of them !
He sat defiantly, completely derailed and upset he was summoned and not at the head of the table !
Giovanni felt he was the UnderLord of the “New World Order” and he detested not being first !
The children and their Drakes came in.
The Senior and Ruling Drakes came in.
Heston came in and didn’t flinch, and took the seat to the Left of St. Michael,
To the right of Michael , the chair was empty , waiting for its occupant to take a seat !
JULIUS TRS , arrived and took his place ,the right of Michael .
Finally, Ellarya arrived. She floated in and looked at the expanse of beings around.
They had come to witness the Last Supper.
Ellarya had to make her choice.
They were all present.
She waited .
She heard him, her Songbird’s call.
His lament, that was still crying for her.
It was a painful Song, one of longing.
Ellarya reached her chair and Heston watched,
as She took her place.
She came in dressed in her Dark Butterflairy Form.
She was on fire and dripping and She had caught their attention.
She sat by no one.
She floated and hovered and surveyed the open expanse.
She sat not by St. Michael the Darkest and Supreme of the Dark Angels.
She sat by Heston and took his delicate Wings and wrapped them around hers. She trembled and began to cry.
She looked up and at Tristan and said to him: I present our children: all of them.
Each one ran to Giovanni !
He swept everyone into his arms !
His children!
They then , went up to her and hugged and kissed her one by one. The Draklings , now bigger and grown.
Heston greeted each of what he considered “his “ children now and they treated and acknowledge HIM.
It was respectful. He hugged and chatted to each one and took a step further to greet each of their Drakes and their parents. He went around the table and remained and reclaimed as ” HOST”. IT was still his HOME, whether St. Michael saw it that way or NOT.
The Humming started and She looked up and floating about the crowd it was coming. It went up into the middle of the sky and it seems that it dominated the Sky.
The Bear Jaw with its teeth, and wet dripping opening.
It widened and rain fell and a tongue reached out and wrapped itself around her. It pulled her into the depths of the oral cavity.
She was pulled through the floating Bear Jaw portal and she was trapped inside.
Yra was there, and pulled her closer to her and held out a ” helping ” hand, as , all good friends do!
Quickly , we must write it all down, to preserve it all.
And so, they did.
The portal opened , the dripping floated Bear Jaw, spat her out.
She held her flight and hovered.
Heston smiled and as She started to read, his smile faded, his tears flowed.
He had no idea , THAT was WHAT was done to her.
As dinner , was served, the litany was read out, the BIG REVEAL.
Michael expanded himself , as he listened to her REVEAL.
The Children looked at their “fathers”, collectively . They did not understand why they did this to their mother and ultimately to them !
Each and everyone was accountable for their actions !
The Big Reveal was an INVOICE !
Zeus descended with his children and their drakes and demanded – PAYMENT !
Payment demands that had been placed in a suspension barrel!
The barrel had been tipped over and its contents spilled ,by Zeus and Myra , the Night Goddess and protector ! MYRA had been tipped by Diana , the huntress , their PRIME had been wronged .
The barrel had been placed within the protection of the Jai ladder and with the arrival of Michael and the challenge to find the Christ objects , the barrel and its contents came out with the flecks of good and bad , the generate and degenerate that caused both good and bad .
There had to be balance with the fallout !
Zeus himself had thrown his thunderbolt and broke the barrel open ! Like Pandora ‘s box , the contexts spilled out and Zeus created storm after storm when he realised how exactly …….
HOW EXACTLY………!!!!!
Ellarya had been treated !
Diabolical Diablo reign was going to have to PAY ! IT was the only WAY, to RESTORE BALANCE!
Zeus detested betrayal, especially from a friend, a best friend, a lover, a fighter, a monster and a Brainiac, each of which was represented.
The settlement talks were underway , in the expanse of the Butterflairy World and all its witnesses there of, food drink and the Divine intervention was under way.
Ellarya’s Last Supper: to retrieve the information required to collect and return the Christ Antiquities to their rightful owners and place.
I hope every cell in your body feels like it’s on fire !
I hope you swell up and drown in your own stinking bodily fluids.
I hope your sour slug like persona bleeds outright !
“What else “?, Heston said !
“Come on , MY Darling if you don’t hate enough we won’t break through the to the Descent Chamber !
Try something stronger !
It must open a GATE, the pathway, THE PATHWAY to HELL, to blister and stain your eternal SOUL and BEAT THEM ALL , with PURE HATE!
GOSH, ELLE thought, this is really , just bloody AWFUL. AWFUL. This is what she had to do to WIN? GOSH, Gilly , Gosh, Gosh , GOSH! What happened to Rainbows and WHITE UNICORNS, Sweets and Lollipop land IT. THIS was AWFUL! Truly AWFUL. She wanted her MOM! She wanted to go HOME. She wanted to just be at work with the kids and GIO! WOW, She thought, where the HELL did that come from.
THERE IT WAS! GIOVANNI!
Elle squirmed ! She actually hated this ! She didn’t like saying it !
She didn’t wish anyone ill anything but it sure made her mad , how she was betrayed !
She thought long and hard !
She remembered dTHRC, and WHERE the HELL, was he now? OFF with that over family of his. They had not been in contact in decades , it seemed. Their Children all much bigger now. Jade and Jaida all up and grown and living life. Sapphra off in her own little worlds. Their SONS. And She started to CRY. She remembered him, literally burying her ALIVE , with his GRIEF!
Where was he now? He had been so ill. Gosh, Gosh, GOSH, Damn that idiot , stupid man. And She missed him, always her best friend. She really at that moment with everything she was , She just MISSED HIM.For a fraction of less then a “nanosecond” and that vibration went out.IT went out far and wide. It went out to find its source.
Oh Noooo!
Kill HIM! Yes, She could KILL HIM, All that CRAP HE PUT HER THROUGH! She wouldn’t dare. Still the father of her children.
She cringed inwardly , unless , I feel it , she knew it would not work !
Elle came back to herself, in the present, what was HESTON yelling at her. Oh YEAH, they were on this trip for the Celestial 7 to invade HELL and steal back the CHRIST possessions. WOW, how the HELL, DID THEY ASSIGN HER THIS ? With HIM? Only for Jesus , SHE THOUGHT, HE DIED FOR OUR SINS. WOULD SHE KILL FOR HIM?
ON GOING CHRISTIAN WARS? of a VERY DIFFERNT KIND. the Fight for Christendom that is on going for this very day.
Anamules and beings , Flairies of all descriptions – BLUE, GREEN, Purple or otherwise. All needed the same things: all the elements. WHY?
Like a thousands notes and chords and in SONG, She heard the Hallelujah Chorus by Handel and She felt elated. She had a magical assignment. She had to see it through.
Now, where was SHE and what was the next STEP?
OH YEAH, She gets to PLAY with HESTON. Fabulous. Gio would have to wait, until SHE COULD GO AND FIND HIM, HERSELF, or HE WOULD COME TO HER, WHAT A JACKASS!
Heston said to her , with that look , “ Come now and stab me through my heart ! Come and take from me – that LIFE FORCE’s Blood , drink me dry until that moment that your deepest hate brings me back to life. Yes, your blood will surge and join with mine and replenish. YOU know , how very much , you truly HATE to LOVE me.
HATE to LOVE me.
HATE TO LOVE ME.
Come MY DEAREST and HATE ME ! PLEASE BABY, I AM THE ONE WITH AND HERE WITH YOU NOW! ME!
COME ON BABY, COME HERE NOW AND HATE TO LOVE ME!
You know how much , hate we can produce together ! It will be enough !
ANGUS , the Angry : Huffed , sat down and waited for them to BEGIN. He was really going to ENJOY this and might even make him feel HAPPY.
Ellarya steadied herself.
The Celestial 7 sent down SUNBEAMS and droplets within the air itself , little rays of sunlight coming from all the ELECTRONS surrounding her in the elements.
She was within DARKNESS and it was her true inner self that was now coming forth. She needed to keep it hidden. YOU MUST , YOU MUST regain the CHRIST possessions. Remember,he died for all our sins.
The Passion of the Christ is deeply felt and acknowleged. Still the cruelty of what was done to him as HUMAN remains one of the greatest stories and beginning of a Religion with multitude of followers throughout all the lands, worlds and Universe, so it be told. Wars remain fought over for many a way of life and teachings, including these, on going.
The ultimate fight of good and bad , not on a planetary , interplanetary scale but the simple one within ourselves- every being faces.
She looked at Heston and steadied herself . She took the daggers and realized that they were pieces that had been plucked from a thorny Crown . She was being sent to find the original, it had been stolen, misplaced, taken.. however, you want to put THAT was in the wrong hands.
She took the daggers , that were thorns and fashioned a headband , simple and pressed it into her as a necklace , the cut and beads evoked her change and Dark Mistress, Poison AVY , She became the embodiment of the Dark Queen. She had the Mirror , the Symbols of her passage, her sceptre and orbs
She looked at Heston , with true HATE in her heart , the HATE was for having to do this, for HIM, the only emotion she had for him had to remain hidden. She answered his call to go to HATE HIM with LOVE. Truth was , it was LOVE not HATE that went to him and with that, the Gateway / Portal down was opened.
HATE and LOVE and a thorny dagger necklace.
They were at the bottom of the Garden that Michael had taken Ellarya , to be his Queen. The Ozzing around . Elle had walked down the path beside the streams. She could see that her Alistair had been following her and Angus was skipping along delightfully.
They reached the portal to descend as it glowed.
Heston stepped through, delighted and full of all the emotions for the adventure ahead. He turned and fluttered his wings and beats and held out his own delicate wings to bring her forth over this first threshold.
As She fluttered to the portal , a wave from the Xyts , came forth and barred her way. CHAOS laughed again. The Jesters did their dance and the Jai ladder rang out and sprayed down more of its Generate and Degenerate RainDrops.
GIOVANNI had felt the vibration. He decided it was time to come and see this wife, once again. He had left for too long. He thought of their son and their children and how he had just abandoned them. He hadn’t meant too. He always had his other life. He sat and CRIED too.
As the wave, splashed down into place over her, and Heston ‘s and her wings were drenched. The rain and fallout came pelting down , there he stood blocking the way. He parted the waters and came up from them all at the same time.
Heston ‘s room was surrounded with the Scent of HATE , in a luscious lavender , rosemary , thyme and the Ancients herbal Indian Spice Scent !
He had stayed awake now , so many hours , just watching ber as she waited !
She waited to hear to see if her Songbird had returned ! Tbe air was still and no sound , no song , no vibrations and no lament ! The Songbird’ s Song , his lament was no where to be felt or heard or touched !
She was in mourning ?
She wasn’t !
She was surrounding herself in the stabs and strikes to her hearts that he had shot out at her over and I’ve and why she had loved him ?
She let her Hate heat and blend with her and her blood boiled ! The purple and green haze and scent came and surrounded and permeated the air !
Tbe oasis started to churn and move and spiral !
It was coming alive and vibrant and sucked in the scented air into the water and tracked down to Annapurina ,
To Rosedrop World
To Planet Orchaidia
It went down and tracked down into the earth and flowed and found the Waterway Xyts , which lead and had a small tributary creek in his Garden !
The Garden reflected from the light of the Pink Moon and the air scented and perfumed !
The heat of it all being seen by those above !
They watched as she finally rose from her Salted Circle !
She had let go of him !
And he had let go her , the Songbird and flowed and burn feather had bleed out removing the last elements of their blood oath !
Like Giovanni , only the finest most minuscule drop remained , like the thread between her and Gio!
She had condemned them both to tbe past !
Tbe water flowed and beckoned and called !
Heston let her rise as her glorious dark horned fired and blood and tailed self !
He took her to the Gateway of his home and they crossed that threshold into the path that went to his Garden !
He had dark blue roses , Japanese Maples , purple lavender flowers and an array of dark blue , purple and ack roses ! The herbs were dark grasses and hidden gems of Poisonous and Carnivorous plants that loved the taste of fresh blood !
The water way Xyts , trickled and lead them through , there as a Canopy of Firs and palms that didn’t make sense but there it was the Palms blended to the Firs and the heat tuned cooler and the steam and heat settled down not up and then it froze !
She sat in that big bed of Heston’s and she thought , she twirled her Songbird’s feather and it was silent !
She reached out and saw and felt the Gold Pebbles , the seeds that had been dropped by him and planted : the Gold pebble seeds- that held their enchantments and gifts!
The beginning seeds of a world within worlds !
She got up and went over to the fire place , he had set it !
The Songbird ‘s lament was quiet , he had passed over and gone from her !
She didn’t cry for him anymore !
She wsd angry with him!
For his stupid behaviours and trying to steal her gold pebbles and the way he had treated her the last time, the time before that and on and one before , before until she went back and realised that he had just been taking advantage of ber : kind hearts.
Try as she might over and over to be down right as hateful and hurtful as him …. she just couldn’t do it !
She was always her kind and loving and loving and healing self !
She kneeled down in front of the fire place and found the secret space in the floor boards , she pushed and there it was her mother’s small crockpot , the Groudinf flat stone
And the salt , the herbs and she had her blood !
She started the fire and placed the now Spellbound Oncher Crockpot I to the embers base , on a small little trivet stand !
The salt circle was poured so she was surrounded and protected!
She them took the salt the herbs the layers of garlic and onion skin her mother had left her and the herbs – lavender and rosemary and thyme with the hint of her mother’s and grandmother ‘s and the Ancients cardamom and cinnamon blend and let it burn and scent the room !
She took a drop of her blood and her Songbird ‘s feather whiff was silent …
No sound in space , no vibrations , no hint of the love they once had shared , bis cruelty had made them silent !
The feather tip pierced her lip and blood suctioned up into its core !
She threw it into the Spellpot and felt it burn and burn and burn , blood oath dissipated !
No sound .
No vibration!
No Song .
They were no more !
She had fainted and her wings and tail and spread out !
She felt his blows all of them thay had sung out and hurt her and HATE filled her … Heston and come in with that vibe and smiled her darkness , binding her to him!
He let the silence build as he watched ber HATE , build as the memories of how badly her Songbird had treated her pulsed within her veins !
Her wings spread out and became dark and bleed and glowed , the hematite with diamond and gold and silver sparkles throughout her wings with her deepened dark blood and her Poison Avy self with her green earthy and flowery poisonous elements erupting in scent around her !
Heston moved to his bed and let her be.
Her Dark Lord let her be , he just loved her,
He sat in silence as her blood oath to her Songbird disintegrated and HATE for how he had treated her took over !
She glowed and HATE heard her and broke into her hearts and surrounded her in a dark purple and green haze !
She took that dark dagger and held it. She remembered when it was last used. Why was it pulling her ? Ellarya Sierra Nicccodemus , wasn’t sure ! After her last interplanetary trips , Giovanni had made it clear , she was to keep his name , for their lost son ! Would she do that for him ? She agreed , unless , she got married again ! He warned her , that she was his, in the Dark of Life’s Light, his ” wife”.. She had nodded and smiled ( For now , she thought she had finally found her way, out and away from him, finally. She did love him. Their time had come to an end this time round. Or Had it?Someone , somewhere was definitely having a ” laugh” with them all. IT was all the Jokers. )
There were higher peers and powers within the Darkness ! She knew but didn’t know this ! Giovanni did his best to keep this knowledge from her ! He did not wish to be displaced or overpowered , into having to submit and release her to another !
He did worry ! He knew about a past mentor , she had had , who was far superior in all his skills and could literally steal her hearts away from him! It was one of tbe reasons , he had kept Tristan around and close to her ! If she had to have someone else around her , of course she did ! It was going to be by his choosing ! Not hers ! Ellarya had not quite realised this , to start ! When she did , she was already involved with Tristan .
Ellarya , looked at the dark dagger , that had called and pulled her to expose it and bring it out ! She wondered when next she would wheel it ! Drive it deep into the series of hearts that had broken, shattered and finally obliterated hers .
She felt those dark feelings grow and grow, great love does that!
She twisted that dagger with a stabbing motion into the empty space in front of her ! She remembered the joy , she felt when she had last had to use them ! It was JOY of being not being OBLITERATED herself. She was a WARRIOR AT HEARTs ! She did not do well with DEFEAT! She knew it was apart of learning , growing, developing her skills. She also knew that to gain her bands and positions, defeat was part of the course. Her Dark bands were exhilarating. NO wonder her and Giovanni got on so well. She remembered the extreme CRUELTY , to which she was subjected, DEATH , one time at least. She heard within her 7th eye and joined minds : with all the harsh words , lyrics, and vibrations that had been thrown at her.
The Lies , the disappointments, the cruel reality of what they had done to her! She was going to find her way to be acknowledged. If not for herself , for her children.
She could not believe what she had heard , lashed out at her , from her most beloved Songbird ! Her SONGBIRD. HERS. SHE WAS UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY DEVASTATED!
Several rings of bands began to burn, fire up and BLAZE. White LIGHT bands GLOWED. Dark LIGHT bands BLAZED.
“Go find another “, he said.
She had! She had indeed!
She knew , in her hearts , what was to come!
She steeled and prepared herself !
“GO away!”, He had shouted at her !
She had already LEFT! She had said! He asked for a chance! She gave him all he asked , knowing , he had his own fatal flaws. She could see and feel them, before they happened. The same moves , intuition and 7th Sensations that helped to save and secure her LIFE , her blood, her bindings, her Primeship, all her GIFTS.
She relished in the Light of her Darkness .She refined it! She focused it !
She thought of the two beings , she truly , in hearts , now ” HATED”!
YES, she hated them: for their dishonesty and betrayal. Only a friend , a confidant can do that to you.
The Pain of it , has HATE grew opened and developed her BANDS within the Darkness of Black Magick Light.
The Darkness had gathered and changed her hearts , the gold and silver darkened and now bronzed hearts with iron clad valves and darkened heartstrings, black blood , that deep dark purple hue, flowed through her and the hematite crystals and cells began to develop and reach all the corners of her wings and appendages . It seeped through her and hit her brain and hearts and organs and she grew into her Darkness, and she looked within and saw him: there he was waiting for her smiling: HESTON!
Her hearts rings sang out in despair !The beautiful music that she played and heard ! THE SONGS , they arrived in waves , fully formed ! She mused about the depths , it took to open up these avenues ! She was dazed as this happened; she was not confused or stunned by any of this. She in fact had taken on an Eccesential Flight without even moving her Wings.
Her Dark Bands opened and sang out in”the Blues “! She had her awakening with such tragedy and hearts fallen and obliteration !
Ellarya sent out those vibrations and let her Songbirds feel her pain. Only one would ever be able to connect and hear Songs, feel them, as she heard his , just one Songbird , her blood oath bound Songbird ! Just the remnants of the love , they shared remained. She was devastated. It helped. It heightened the depths of her feelings do. She ran through them all , love, hate. despair, betrayal , yet again! She would have to ride this one out too!
“Get someone else to take care of you”!
She was going to! He had given her permission and consent to Leave HIM. She did! Remnants of their blood bound bindings would go into extinct mode.
“GO AWAY”, she could barely move. Her chest hurt. Her wings, her arms , her head were heavy. The black blood flowed and snuffed out the light particles within her, they transformed her! She sunk down. She sunk down , lower than when Giovanni, had tried to bury her alive. Her breathing was slow and deep and she lulled into sleep. She wanted to just fade away!
She didn’t have to wait long.
Her Dark Lord , swooped down. Heston surrounded her with his intensity and wrapped her up and around her and said, the Inkwell is ready.
It is time.
Ellarya looked deeply ,into Heston’s eyes. She sunk into him, instead.
She inhaled him into her ! As she did , she asked , “Do I have to “?, came out as muffled words! She continued to indulge him! He was pleased ! She had much to learn! She was learning well! He was very , very pleased with her efforts!
He looked at her, he pulled her to him with such movement and brought her to him ! As close as he could manage, with full and complete possession of her, he replied with such intensity, “YOU MUST”!
She cried , out , as she sunk into a pool, of their combined ” dark blood shed tears.
He pulled out the dark dagger and split it , in two. She gasped , with this new found knowledge. All the delightful secrets that were being revealed.
Sharing with such depths of his movements, she gasped , with the intricacies of his knowledge. She was euphoric with the reveal, within her ! He did so , in slow and steady increments.
The inkwell glowed , it grew and it opened wider. She was to dive in and be engulfed by the black blood ink that it held.
The Dark Lord was showing her how to access and use the specialized Ink.
He was guiding her , while prying her, with sensations , information and subterfuge.
The Inkwell had belonged to one of the Paternal Ancients. It had helped pen many a Secret, including some of the entries in her Diary of the same Order.
” Let me see it ” , she whispered to him ,as his lips parted from hers.
“It belongs to me after all”, she caressed him and pleaded with him.
“Please “, ” show me , she let escape from her! She begged, pleaded. He already had her down and on her humanoid ” knees” , so to speak. He was loving her pleading, the slight distress urgency and need for him. He was WRONG!
With a penetrating stare, her Dark Lord, hesitated.
” I will “,” WHEN , YOU ARE READY , for it”! “He pulled her closer to him , as if she was going to leave him.
Ellarya had come to him within the Dark and her hearts and changed and bound her to him completely. He had relaxed the bonds she had with Giovanni, over the last few months ! Finally, they simply fell away from her. Giovanni , cried out as he realised he was loosing his “hold” over her; it was actually ,happening! He thought it was all wrong, and he had been mistaken. He was WRONG!
The way things were , it was only Heston , who heard his cries , his curses , his manoverings , to try to keep the Prime with him ! Heston countered his efforts and spells and the incantations by delving deeper into Ellarya ‘s mind , body and soul! He was surprised , how supple and malleable she was , or so , it seemed.
He watched as she delved and changed for him! He plundered her like a pirate , surpassing Stefano’s interludes with her!
The Darkly and handsome ,rapturous,victorious Heston laughed and relished in this knowledge, He flattened Giovanni’s voice ! He let Gio see that he was the Source of Guilio within Alagrom , all along ! He had never let Giovanni have her or possess her, on his own ! He had under-shadowed and accompanied them at their most precious times ! Yes , he was a “MASTER “!
AND NOW , that she had come to him and said “YES” to him , of her own free will , he had no intention of letting anyone else get close to her again !
He was. Him and only him.
Heston let it ring out that Ellarya Prime ‘s Primal Instincts had actually devoured her light and changed her hearts , so, she would turn to him first, before anyone else.
What do you mean , ” you don’t love us ” ! They all whelped at once !
“She doesn’t love us anymore”, they cried out ! It was almost laughable , except that it was “true”!
Was it ?
Was it really ?
She thinks she doesn’t, love us ! They all thought ! They had let her down! They had betrayed her trust ! They had used her goodwill and hearts against her! They all thought that she would love their little cohort of their choosing combined , over anyone else!
They were wrong and their thoughts and aspirations that they had put into she changed with the change of her light and aura ! All of it went down like a lead balloon, a lead zeppelin.
Just look at her ! The 3 of them cried out : Tristan , Giovanni and Stefano!
It was a complete surprise to Heston , who cried loudest of all! He really didn’t think, he had ever cared that much for her, ever!
Just look at who she is with, the Dark Lord, that Dark Lord, the one that counts , the one that takes and binds your soul into Eternity: Lord Prince Heston Azar !
Him, she is with him, Prince Heston, has her completely enraptured and captured !
He is her teacher, her mentor, her guide in all things. She is completely under his spells and how she loves him. She never loved any of ” us ” like that. Nay, they weren’t jealous , one bit ! They were just pissed , she had found someone and left them all behind her !
They were muttering about her “choices” ! She had momentarily lapsed and old connections caught a glimpse of her new self.
Truth is , she didn’t want to reveal all the letters. She was compelled .
Heston was insistent on this! He battered and rammed his will into her , with such enthusiasm. she had to submit to his desires. All his desires and whims !He wasn’t unkind. He wasn’t harsh. In fact, he was the gentlest ,kindest, most loving soul, despite his title. He was a beautiful being. He was a Master of all his crafts. He shared them with elegance and grace. He didn’t suffer fools , easily but had learned to help and be with others , in a calming , sincere manner. His demeanour was one of strength and passion and he had more love and white light in him than all the others put together.
He was more talented and had a greater calling than all of them, and once more, he had completely fallen for Ellarya, as she had him, in that simple old fashion way! They were more than friends, teacher and student and mentor. They were better than ” best friends” ! They were partners, in every sense of the word.
She gave in and with her darkness , took up her mother’s pen , dipped it into the black blood ink and began to write. By joining the darkness with Heston, her light and his was raised up and out and glowed deep and bright. Only those with training and sight would recognize” what they both were”: Beings of light and passion and creatures and servants to their now joint darkness. Their powers and gifts had combined, Ellarya , remained Primal and Prime, always, this was NOT transferable, her gifts most of them remained with her
He surrounded her and wrapped his wings around her. He held her and rocked her and soothed her as she wrote. She wrote and bleed out as she did!
“NO, they didn’t! They didn’t do that to you! And you didn’t “HATE” them “?
Heston , swarmed and cursed and roared. He became half drake and grew. She looked at him and recognized him for who he was, all this time. It was “him”!
She dropped her pen. She went to him and said, if , only , I realized it was YOU.
“Are you ready for me” ? Heston, asked her. He looked at her with love and longing of Centuries. He was not quite sure , how , it had worked out she was with him. She was!
Darkness rose within him for her ,and her for him! Ellarya , she went to him willingly and stayed there , with Heston! Re- united , they surpassed anything she has experienced before !
Fire and ice met in Darkness, with great vibrations, explorations and eruptions !
Deeper tones were felt, reached and enjoyed by them, both and felt throughout their worlds !
How had she finally succumbed ! Heston was so pleased with himself !He let that dark element with him and her , flow between them. Stunningly Beautiful, she had always been to him!
Ellarya pulled out the letters, from the desk drawer, all of them! Sat down and transposed what had been written!
Prince Heston was elated , let everyone read what they did to her !
He was with her now! He had great plans for them both!
He sat back on his bed and watched her as she worked.
Sitting at his small desk , pen and inkwell at hand.
As, she wrote, she glowed , that dark glow that reflected her change and being now joint with him. IT was not a regular bond they had. Their bond was not of blood, light , air or fire, their bond was of all the elements and blood! Virtually, impossible to break!
He saw her fire re-kindle and blaze from within , he saw his Phoenix Butterflairy Prime, arise from the Ashes , her Songbirds had placed around her.
The truth was only one Songbird , ever counted.
He would always count.
He was the ONLY one, who did!
She was , however, lost into the Darkness and had emerged with her Dark Lord Prince, as Sunshine’s Shadow.
It had become worse than it’s own abusers , users and darkest of demons.
It had betrayed ” EVERYONE” !
FAT.
LAZY!
COWARDLY!
SLUG- LIKE!
Sucked in ” LOVE” and then Destroyed it , the power of “Kurgha- Ma”, a ” Destroyer! Not a Creator, not a lover, not even a true Artist, for after all, it was always , just among , amidst , with , ” the Welcher and Friends”!
The Universe would NOT FORGIVE!.
It had decided to let its closest beings know!
YES, the UNIVERSE was going to ” tattle its Flairy tails ” and join them up with all the Sibings.
Double trouble, toiled … as it range the Degenerate ” DOORBELLS” of the Siblings: Mona and Burt!
Let them read and hear , how this Parasite … took and took and took. Lied and lied and cheated , every single “ Speckle” within their “World”
The last piece of work being so very blue , bland and unfinished.
The Prime closed her ” eye” , she closed more into her 7th Eye to see if the connections were still there..
She floated up and out into the above, she called onto all her Songbirds and Instrumentalists to be with her, to hear her CRY and heal her pain.IT was the “only ” way to save the Parasite from certain self- destruction.
The Parasite was festering. It was troubled ! Let every anniversary remember the bitter betrayals it lashed out.
Yes, the Darkness had Risen within her.
She turned the other way.
The Prime glowed ! She Glowed a darkened Purple ,and let it all, “go”!
………………………………………….
Let it all ” GO” ………………..!
For now! Mmmmmmm!
One Black Blood Red Teardrop fell and splashed down! It found its way to the Dark Lord, her Dark Lord.
Yes, he had found her. He would NOT let her go. She already belonged to “him”!
The Dark Lord had not emerged from the Shadowlands , as yet. He had kept his identity all these years.
He held those “Keys” and he knew her secrets.
The Drud appeared.
He placed his staff within the pool within his room.
It sparkled and sprayed, and swirled up the long shaft, snake like coralled skin that was alternating black and gold. It spewed out its fireworks at the alloted time.
Prince Heston Azar stretched out on his bed. He had looked at his Butterflairy , asleep so delicate within his bedchambers. He had pulled all the surrounding curtains. The light was minimal and the room was ” hot” and steamy, was water from the Oasis Pool, bubbled and scented the air.
He hovered above her as she slept. He was a Draconus Dragonflairy and he held the seed that formed the original line of Alagron. He was going to make sure he possessed all of her! Yes, he had to send them at intermittant times to be with her, so, he could connect with her and be reminded of her taste, her smell , her being.
Did anyone ever really think, he would let his prize ” PRIME ” student ever leave him! As she slept, he hovered millimeters above her , Up and down he moved. He let the particle forces between them connect. He took in all her senses. He renewed and replenished his bindings to her. He was compelling her to him.
She was stirring. He gently transformed himself , back to the self , she knew and trusted , so well. He was beside her , as, she flitted awake and turned to him. She moved into him and reached for that single black curl that that hung out of place. She curled , it around her finger and smiled.
Dinner was going to have to wait!
She drifted back into sleep .
She crossed back in time !
Yes , I was going to pull it all out of her and see what it was !
There was a pearl handled pen , like an old fashioned “ Smith & Wesson”!
It was going to be used in the same way ! Words were bullets, the phrases let out like a ” Tenor Altino”,were going to be realized and thrown out! No one would care , they had sung out.
THAT WAS WRONG!
EVERYONE was going to Care what they had done! How very wrong they all were. You can’t harm ” innocent” children and think that it is ” OK”! Gullible and Naïve was in fact plain old Brutality and Cruelty with every ” I LOVE YOU” written and sung!
LIARS
CHEATERS
THEIVES
‘All in A SONG’.
It was floating , the inkwell was special , the ink was filled with the blood of its victims !
The ink was sucked up into the Pen!
The paper was “homemade” and crushed and mixed with blood , bone and sinew !
It began to write !
As it wrote , she cried and whimpered in her sleep !
The Dark Lord held her close and finally he saw , the words !
And so, he went back and saw !
He would have his “Revenge “for her !
He would make sure , everyone knew : every villager , every soul!
When they walked down the street , never knowing , how completely disgusted , all the elements were with all of them !
The plain truth was ” her friends, her “best Friends” had lied to her, used and betrayed her. All she was , was very sad that they had all treated her so very badly. She had deep love and care for them all and would not hold a grudge against them. She had begged and pleaded and done all she can to be compensated , as promised. She never suspected that their word , collectively and as individuals would not be kept. Love does BLIND YOU! Doesn’t it. Didn’t anyone have any sense of honesty, gallantry and promise left ? She was completely STONEWALLED! No one kept their word to her. No one cared about her or her children. Just her , and her Ancients. Prince Azar saw this and flew into a “Deep Dark Rage” on behalf of his most beloved and precious student. She was his gift . “HIS”! Some how, some way , through their passage of time, he had realized , how very much he loved and treasured her. Then, then ,”SHE” was gone. He never thought , they would be brought back together again.
Prince Heston Azar was taking control and decided it was time to reveal “ the letters “, in full ! PAY HER BACK! PAY HER CHILDREN BACK! PAY THEM BACK! Simple ” JUST KEEP YOUR WORD:JKYW”!
JKYW! JKYW! JKYW! with each heart beat, with each hearts beatings. YES those 4 simple letters , joined their hearts and minds and kept them beating together : The Grand Master and his Student. JKYW, Da-Dum, JKYW! Da-DUM, JKYW! Da- DUM , and the heart beats pumped out that particular vibration. He knew she was telling the ” truth”! They all did! As the hearts continued to beat in UNISON, something broke within him and the Rage and LOVE he felt was unsurpassed. He had not ever known a feeling quite like this. It wasn’t just love, it was POSSESSION ! HIS , just HIS, finally, after all this time!
He kissed and nuzzled into her , and fell , into a deeper sleep !
He explored and penetrated her mind. He examined every fold, every curve. made those delicate , delightful discoveries of the ” matter” that made her who she was ; such an amazing mind, along with everything else, that she was.
The Ancients had been right , to bring her back to him! He was after all ,” The Keeper “ of her Secrets now & her soul !
She may NOT have completely “turned “ to him as yet!
He had delved and probed and found her hidden depths and brought them all out of her, to the surface ! She glowed. Behind her eyes, he saw “everything”. How could ” they” each of them treat her and her children like that !
He was going to make sure , they all got what was coming to them !
She may not tell , but “he “ was !
Her Dark Prince had found her and let anyone try and take her from him now!
HE was going to reveal all, for her , whether she wanted that or not. All her Secrets were now his.
The Ancients sat back , took a deep sigh.
The hard work had yet to BEGIN!
Dark Lord Prince Heston Azar was NOT going to let it all go , at all. He was going to Tell ALL! He was going to wind and dine his way and MAKE THEM PAY!
ALL OF IT. Let the Crushing and Cursing weight of the Parasite and all its appendages get wrapped up in their own dungings! SclarabFlairies trying to prevail. They will croak on their tidings of doom and gloom.
Let’s face it ” Croakings” was all the 3 of them could produce now: one blind, one could not hear: deaf as well as ” dumb” , barely speak let alone think he could ” SING” and the other had no feelings at all, an ” empty lifeforce” !
Let the Music begin to play. only those with heart and insight and feelings of unnatural depth and longitude , would feel and see what was in plain site, with much latitude.
Let the Overture play and let the Curtain Rise, the Show had just begun.
The Dark Lord Azar was the Conductor and his student , his muse and source.
We go to: ” NOT QUITE THE ENDING”!
Azar raised his Bow , he strummed , and picked and plucked and the MUSIC SOARED and HE just ROSE!
The Flight of Prince Heston Azar had begun. He was a true Genius and ultimately , the Grand Master of his Draconus Darkened Arts.
It was a dark and solitude night! The wind was a low whisper. The mist was high. You won’t see me. I know where you live “You won’t see me coming “,he said and gave her that look. The one in her “EYE” and smiled that slow and fearful smile. She said, ” it doesn’t matter” I will always ” SEE YOU”!
She had LEFT HIM! LIFE WENT ON! NO ONE WILL EVER DO “THAT” TO HER AGAIN! NO ONE! 🧚♀️🧚🧚♂️
The Storms raged on!
They fought.
As they had come together , it had broken in much the same way.
HAD IT She thought.
Sleep had eluded her.
She finally slept.
She awoke with her solution.
TIME TO LEAVE !
She awoke.
She wrote.
She went to work!
Her heart preserved ,despite ,24 hours ( that is 24 of their planetary hours) of being a target practice.
Cruel words and actions.
Words count.
They can lift you up and tear you down.
Happy face. Hearts. Angry Faces.
Controlling
Brutal
Emotional
IT WAS BLACKMAIL!
She had been there before?
No- NOT QUITE LIKE THIS!
She left him
SHE Left Him
SHE LEFT HIM!
YES, SHE DID!
He had blown her away and dissolved everything.
HOT
HEATED
TEMPETUOUS
She was not going to fall, like this again!
STOOD UP to STAND ALONE, Much much stronger and wiser for what was to come next.
