She thought he was just her delusion but little did she know that when he makes a promise he keeps it.
Will she be able to see inner self Or will he make her scared.
What will happen when the BEAST from the other world will come to take her??
Why...
The morning sun was now high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the palace grounds. Elysia, feeling restless and eager to explore, decided to venture beyond her chambers. The opulent corridors stretched out before her, each corner promising new and wondrous discoveries.
The palace was a labyrinth of breathtaking beauty, filled with exquisite tapestries depicting legendary battles and mythical creatures. Elysia wandered through hallways adorned with intricate carvings and passed through grand archways leading to stunning gardens and courtyards. Every turn revealed something new and awe-inspiring, fueling her curiosity and wonder.
As she explored deeper into the palace, she found herself in a secluded part of the castle that seemed almost forgotten. The walls here were covered in vines of enchanted flowers that glowed faintly, creating an ethereal ambiance. She marveled at the beauty around her, feeling as though she had stepped into a fairytale.
Her journey led her to a small, hidden courtyard. It was a peaceful, almost magical place, with a crystal-clear pond at its center and delicate, multicolored flowers blooming all around. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blossoms, and the gentle hum of nature was the only sound to be heard.
Elysia’s attention was suddenly caught by a small movement near the base of a tree. She squinted, trying to see what it was, and gasped softly when she realized it was a tiny, palm-sized creature. It was unlike anything she had ever seen before—a fantasy animal that seemed to belong to the realm of dreams rather than reality.
The creature is a palm-sized, adorable being with a soft, fluffy coat that shimmers with iridescent hues in the light. It has large, expressive eyes that seem to hold a world of wonder and curiosity. Its small, delicate paws and twitching nose give it an endearing charm. It had big delicate looking ears. With each movement, it exudes an aura of gentleness and innocence, captivating anyone who lays eyes on it.
The little creature noticed her and quickly darted behind a flower bush, its tiny body trembling with fear. Elysia, not wanting to frighten it further, slowly sat down on the ground, folding her legs beneath her. She extended her hand, palm up, and waited patiently. “Hey there,” she whispered softly, trying to sound as gentle and non-threatening as possible. “It’s okay, I won’t hurt you.”
Reaching into the pocket of her gown, she found some nuts she had been snacking on earlier. She placed a few in her palm and held it out, hoping to coax the creature closer. The tiny animal peeked out from behind the bush, its large eyes fixated on the nuts.
It hesitated for a moment, then cautiously approached her outstretched hand. It sniffed the air, then her hand, and finally the nuts. Encouraged by the lack of any threat, the little creature took a tiny step forward and began to nibble at the nuts.
Elysia’s heart melted at the sight. She watched with wide-eyed fascination as the animal ate, its tiny jaws working rapidly. Once it finished the first nut, it looked up at her, almost as if asking for more. She couldn’t help but smile and offered another nut, which the creature eagerly accepted.
The little animal soon grew bolder, climbing onto her palm to get closer to the food.

Elysia giggled softly, feeling a rush of joy and tenderness. She continued to feed it, enjoying the simple yet profound connection she was making with this magical being.
Unbeknownst to Elysia, King Thornvald Draconis had been watching her from the shadows. He had followed her out of curiosity, intrigued by her movements and her evident sense of wonder. He had expected to find her exploring the grand halls or perhaps gazing at the enchanted gardens, but what he saw instead touched him deeply. He watched as she interacted with the tiny creature, her face alight with pure, unguarded happiness. The way she sat so patiently, the tenderness in her eyes, and the genuine joy she expressed were all qualities that spoke to her true nature. Thornvald found himself smiling, a rare and genuine smile that he reserved for only the most precious moments.
Elysia, completely unaware of his presence, continued to bond with the little animal. She gently stroked its soft fur, feeling a sense of peace and contentment she hadn’t felt in a long time. The creature seemed to sense her kindness, nuzzling against her hand and making soft, contented noises.
As the sun continued its journey across the sky, Elysia eventually realized she should return to her chambers. "I guess i have to end out meeting here my little buddy. See you soon. " She said softly while strokimg it's soft fur. She carefully placed the tiny creature back on the ground, offering it one last nut. It looked up at her with what seemed like gratitude in its eyes before scurrying back to its hiding place.
Standing up, Elysia dusted off her gown and took one last look around the magical courtyard. She felt a renewed sense of hope and determination. The encounter with the little creature had reminded her of the beauty and wonder that still existed in the world, even in the midst of her current trials.
As she turned to leave, she couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. She glanced around but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Dismissing it as her imagination, she made her way back through the palace corridors, her heart lighter than it had been in days.
Thornvald watched her go, his mind filled with thoughts of the enigmatic young woman who had entered his life so unexpectedly. He had seen a different side of Elysia today, one that made him reconsider many things. For now, he would keep his distance, but he knew that the bond forming between them was something unique and powerful.
As Elysia walked away, the king remained hidden, a silent guardian watching over her. His smile lingered as he thought of the small moment of joy he had witnessed, a reminder that even in the darkest times, light could still be found in the most unexpected places.
