LEGENDS: The Fall (Season, #3) ✔️

Taste Of Colors

"I found the colors I've been looking for in your orbs, it feels butterflies, it tastes happiness. I finally found it, YOU."

***

Kingdom of Eufrata

It's almost midnight but the lamps from the Royal's balcony is still on. The night sky was starry and the evening was algid, the place was blessed with the dazzling moon's light. The Princess was there, on her pen and paper. And Damon couldn't help but wonder what the Princess was doing as he came to approach her carefully.

"What are you doing at this hour, Princess?" Damon asked as he approached Elysian, he bowed before getting beside her. "It's late."

The Princess' eyes dilated in shock but she immediately smiled knowing it was her bestfriend, "Writing of course. You know how much I love words."

Damon stood right beside Elysian to watch her write something, "The ever talented Princess. You could add melody to it." He praised. He feels so proud, the admiration he has for the Princess is extremely high and dangerous. He's more proud of her than himself, he praises her more often than he commends Van, and he spends more time with her than he gives attention to Damien.

Elysian chuckled, "Pfft, I wish to add melody too. But I would just want to enjoy the flowers in my garden of words."

"So deep," Damon chuckled as well, "Deep pen to paper thoughts it is. You're good with words, and Van is good with colors. This palace is awesome, you know. Full of the sovereign's arts. Van's paintings give colors in this Palace, and your beautiful words gives life. Perfect fit."

Sandaling huminto ang Prinsesa at tumitig sa kawalan ngunit agad ring bumalik sa pagsusulat. Damon almost panicked, but he's sure Elysian's fine. There's nothing to worry, he's just a worry rat when it comes to her and it's perilous in his part.

"Alam mo siguro, kung buhay lang iyong kapatid ko..." Elysian stopped writing, she looked up and stared at the bright lamp with almost tears in her eyes.

"Elysian..."

The Princess smiled as she looked at the Echelon, "Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng makukuha niya, siguro, magaling siyang kumanta." Aniya at mahinhin na humalakhak, "Like... Van loves drawing, I love words, I'm sure... she would have the knack to put words into music. You know, she could be a great singer."

Damon nodded, "I could imagine that. And you three would be the best siblings in this land."

Nagpatuloy na ang Prinsesa sa pagsusulat, "Kumusta naman kayo ni Damien?" Aniya at ngumiti, "And how about you? How are you and what are you doing here at this hour?"

Damon shrugged, "Well, I couldn't be more proud of that guy. Pasaway nga lang, pero hindi biro ang improvements niya. Wala akong masabi." He managed to look away when he felt his cheeks burned the moment she showed concern to him, "I was on my way back to my room when I saw the open lamps in this balcony. I came to check... and I stumble upon you. Might better if I chill for a moment with you before I rest, right?"

The Princess just chuckled and nodded.

"Same as Van. He really improved a lot, he could master the Sagacious Sevenline at all. His fast execution is massive. I guess Van and Damien are having good times training, huh." Saad ng Prinsesa at sumimangot, "I'm not backing out tho, I'll still work hard to atleast beat him in one duel."

Humalakhak si Damon sa reaksyon ng Prinsesa, "How bold of you, that's cool."

"Anyway, do you want me to read you the words I've created at this moment?" The Princess offered.

Excited namang ngumiti si Damon at tumitig sa Prinsesa,
"Sure, it would be perfect."

Damon couldn't understand his heart, it's palpitating. And for the land's sake why is he feeling nervous? He's just going to hear the flowers Elysian made in her own beautiful garden. There's no need to get nervous, lame.

Under the dazzling moon, Princess Elysian Zellestaire recited her words in flamboyance making Damon stare in astonishment and adoration. It's like the wind danced against the lamps that his vision became blurry along with his loud treacherous beating heart. His eyes swiveled against her beautiful swaying orbs, under the starry firmaments, he hears out her beautiful verse willingly;

"I always wonder what's the color
or how it feels to see the outline hue of this world.

And I was amazed about the twinkling dusts in the firmaments scattered in the obscured darkness.

The colors above were in opposition at all, but it was beautiful.

It was dazzling, the lights finding their way to gaze at the surface through the invading shadows.

And beneath was gorgeous, especially with our dancing orbs staring at each other under the smiling moon blessing us both.

There, I found the colors.
It feels butterflies, it tastes happiness.

I finally found it,

YOU."

"Beautiful..." Damon thought, not realizing he stated it aloud. Beautiful, he thought staring right at Elysian's eyes. It's beautiful, she's beautiful. Her orbs were dancing together with her beautiful poem. She's perfect, everything about her is perfect. Her long straight hair hovered with a soft whoosh, her sleepy eyes falls perfectly as it open once again in bounty.

Fuck, indeed gorgeous. Her words, her highness, everything about her is beautiful and he's unknowingly captivated. He couldn't escape her orbs, it's like he's trapped. No, she have done nothing to jail him in her beautiful eyes, he couldn't just help but to stare at her glory. Elysian is the most perfect creation for him.

"Really?" The Princess shyly asked and looked away, probably getting awkward with the way Damon had stared at her.

"So beautiful," Damon whispered not realizing the impact he made to the Princess.

Elysian stared at her masterpiece, "T-thank you."

Damon's eyes dilated in shock. Shit, shit, he cursed many times in his head. How could he be so lame? How could he be so dense with the situation? He must have made her feel very awkward and uncomfortable. He immediately stepped out and looked away, "Ah, that was-- that was indeed beautiful." He cursed under his breath silently, how could he lose his words and cool at such circumstance? "It's late, I should go."

The Princess stared at him with wide eyes as she forced a smile, "Ah, yes, you should."

Damon bowed, "Goodnight, Princess. See you tomorrow."

He stepped out of the balcony leaving the Princess on her own. Elysian smiled. "Goodnight, Damon."

Things are changing, everything is changing. Change is indeed constant, as well as them.
