Hymn Of Empyrean

Chapter 13: Desi Hates Pollen

Desi hates pollen and his patience was running out.

Everybody seemed immune to the pollen so why was it only effecting him?

"Desi are you okay?" Ernaline asked but she only got a glare to her face.

'Do I look okay?' he thought. His eyes were red and his throat was irritating him and his nose was sore.

They kept walking until the reached the big tree. There was huge doors that was left wide open, again many people walking in and out of it.

"This place is really cool they even made it into a tree house" Prince Denzin said walking ahead amazed by his surroundings.

"Only you would think about playing about" Desi said following along.

The two female deities glared at each other before catching up to the others.
Inside the the trunk was hollow and large but also. There was wooden lifts going up and down carrying people and items. People jumped off and on from different doors on the side of the walls which seem to lead to different parts of the tree.

The four was taking in the view before a rapid crowd ran into them and pushing each other to get on the lifts.

Ernaline manged to grab a man's arm that was in the crowd running to whatever destination, "Excuse me, what is happening?"

"You must be new here miss but the Legendary Dance Of The Willow Fairy is on show and tickets is running out so if you would excuse me." he replied quickly before blending back into the crowd of green.

"I'm quite interested in this Legendary Dance Of The Willow Fairy, it must be good if this many people are running to see it." Prince Denzin said.
They all agreed that they were curious on this event so following the crowd they jumped on the wooden lift that was going up. It was creaky and flat and had little railings which made it easy to fall off. It looked like they just relied on balance alone.

The lift was going very high so they assumed it was on the top floor. They were right because the lift suddenly stopped and became level with the current marble floor and everyone got off before the lift lowered itself back down.

The hole in the floor where the lift would've been closed up into a matching marble material. The room they stepped into wasn't like the rest of the tree, it was made if marble and looked like a ballroom. There was again many people in green but a few splashes of other colours here and there.

"Where are we now?" As soon as Denzin spoke the lights in the hall turned off then one single light appeared in the middle of the room.

There stood a girl in green, (not a surprise) she had long back hair, hooped on each side into two pigtails by two jade pins. She had a light green dress with white stockings and a green butterfly clip in her hair.
Her eyes were closed, in a dance position and what caught the audience attention most was the two sharp daggers connect by chains in her hand.

Music started to play and she started to spin making the daggers with chains spin just as quickly with her and just missing the audience.

Everyone stared in awe with the young girl in green, the Legendary Dance Of The Willow Fairy as she twisted and turned, flailing the weapons in all kind of directions. Sometimes she will lead the chains back in only to fling it out again making a loud snapping noise as it smacks the air.

The dance contained mostly of spins and poses, containing most of the traditional Gaian District elements.

It was a interesting concept, dance, and how to flow with the music, she moved fast on her toes and engaged with the audience with a smile.
