As I saw the dryad thing unconscious..I sprinted out of the room...and landed in a small clearing in the dense forest. The wood was dark..but still pretty...the air was thick with mist and trees grew tall and close. The flickering numerous luminous insects flew here and there. The little creatures who peep up now and then have little translucent wings and they seem to whisper as I pass by. The floor and the sky looked alike. The dense canopy of the leaves and branches let no light escape ...I wonder how these grow? But again here I am getting all my theories redefined. As I walk...I have this paranoid feeling that I am being followed. I stop and quickly turn back. I saw nothing. Then a light crunch of the crispy leaves made me dart my eyes to that direction...again nothing...I follow the sound and move up to that direction. Here the forest was pretty misty and the the viel of fog lay thick on the leaves and branches...in between the thick fog I noticed something purple swish by. I hurriedly ran to that direction. My heart beat seems to be more rapid.
I end up in another clearing larger this time. There are small mushroom like plant all around. Now I heard that crunching sound again...a flapping of something large...as i looked up...I was on the floor. I looked everywhere...the fog seemed to clear...the viel was being uplifted....the clattering of something hard was evident in front of me.
A strong muscular..pearly white with a mane of all shades of blue pink and purple...huge feathery wings and mane like tails..gorgeous eyes and a lance like spiral horns....I am absolutely speechless....
What is this creature? What...is this ? Imagination? A winged unicorn! I thought they were myths.
I got up on my feet and took slow steps towards it...its beautiful how could I not...I keep my eyes low...he nieghed in a high pitched sound and I stopped in my tracks...he looked at me...his eyes were sparkling...I pick up a leafy bunch and gave it to him. He looked down at my hands...and then at me....." what makes you think I eat that?" He mockingly says.
The branch fell from my hand as I looked at him. "You..u..u...ta.ta..talked!" I stammered.
He laughs a throaty laugh and says.."yes I did guardian!" He looked at me sympathetically.
"How do you know who I am?"...I asked him as I collected my mind. "I am Eldor...the rarest of my kind...we have powers to do things..." he smirked as he said proudly. I was tired now...all these were very over whelming...I need some mental rest...I sat on a thick root...and Eldor sat before me. I smiled at him and said "Pleased to meet you Eldor I am Amethyst...but people here call me ce-".."Celeste ..I know" he interrupted my sentence. I smiled awkwardly at him. " I think you did au great job with Torm...He is a disgusting fellow...I saw how he took you from the river...and brought you here...I followed you ...and before I could help you...I realized you are not a damsel in distress..." he smirked again." I blushed at his compliment" Thank you Eldor for coming after me...you are truly one of a kind..." I extended my hand to touch his forehead...as I did...a current zipped through me...I wanted to remove my hand...but I couldn't...As if I was a part of it...I could feel his warmth...He looked as surprised as me...
"We twinned!" He gasped..."what?" I asked him.He paused for sometimes...and said " when I saw you back at the river bank..I knew that there was a common energy aura we shared...I did not twin in a 4000 moons...and I thought I never could...but now...it's unbelievable!"...he ranted on.
He stood up and stretched his wings..."want a ride friend? We are bound to death now...so let me take you back ro your friends...they are worried sick" I was still sitting there dumb found...bound till death..."Are you now my selkix? " ....He smiled and bowed before me..."at your service Celeste."...
I saw another curvy patter form on my another arm...its was different from the one which Nalu's selkix gave me...the power of water...or so what I remember...I looked upto him as a similar pattern formed on its forehead..."what is this Eldor?"..He looked up at me and said..."our bond...its sealed till death....we are now one...we share the common element now..'ether'."...it sparkled and glowed..."I give you the gift of vision..." Eldor says." As a bonding gift...you can now see the past and the present of anyone...but not future because...it changes and hence only the oracle mermaid in the ocean kingdom has the ability to see the future...." I hugged his neck and said..."thank you Eldor ....thank you so much."...He laughed....
"So care for a ride to the river banks?"..he said as he lowerd his back for me to climb on. I squealed....I took riding lessons as a kid and always wanted a pony...but I am not disappointed...I got a unicorn...talking unicorn. As I positioned myself...Eldor said"hold on tight Cel...and enjoy the ride." ...with that he took of....
Soon we were in the air...I screamed on top of my lungs as we glided through the coloured clouds of the sunset sky...leaving the forest behind...my hair were wildly flying..my heart has never been so pumped."oh Eldor this is awsome...I love you so much...can we do this like every day?"...I tell him over the strong winds..."ohh yeah...its just more fun with you Cel....definitely."....
We swish on through the sky ans I saw the most amazing sights from up there...I just fell in love with the place for the first time I guess...and Eldor ....He is my new favorite.
Am gonna take care of everything that I did wrong....Arfions face floats in the orange sky....his lips seemed to call me....and I know what I gotta do now...
