Winged : The Beginning Of All Myth And Magic

Jealousy

That evening during dinner our king was in a jovial mood. Our guest from the cloud kingdom is to be blamed I guess.
"I have an announcement to make..." King Radagast tinkles his crystal chalice. The buzz of gossiping stopped and all the attention were on him. "As all of you know how our brave guardians have saved the lands of mountain kingdom..." he makes a pause and starts again. " Today we have a special guest amongst us....Prince Erebor...of Aurelis the cloud kingdom. King Demetos have requested the presence of any one of our guardians to help them with some issues....I feel proud to send our new member of Crystallox...Celeste...The guardian of the ether magic...to be an apprentice and visit Aurelis. May we have a toast on our dear Celeste!"
There was a roar of cheer and everybody raised their crystal chalices in the air.
" Remember...we leave tonight.." Erebor bends down whispers in my ears. I nodded and as I was about to say something back...I saw Arfion's furious gaze at me....pure jealousy. I shut my mouth immediately and fiddled with my fingers. I need to talk to him after the dinner before I leave. I hope I didn't do anything to hurt him.

That night I discovered that even Erebor has Pegunicorn like Eldor. Unlike Eldor she was golden. Her manes lay graciously around her neck. And Eldor seems to be completely taken by her gracefulness. Her name is Aurum and I almost immediately fell in love with her manners. Let's not talk about Eldor's view.

I grabbed my things and went to the royal garden to meet Arfion.
When I reached there...his back was turned . He stared motionless staring at the glittering sky and the two peeking moons. The view was breathtaking. I went near to him . "  Arfion?" He turned and immediately crushed me ina hug. I hugged him back and let his warmth soak in my pale skin. "Please be careful...please...I dont trust him...I tried to talk to his majesty so that I could accompany you but he refused right away...I dont like the way he looks at you...tell him if he tries something...that you belong to me and only me." After that we shared a passionate kiss under the stars until it was our time to leave.

"Hold on tight partner....it's a long ride." Eldor nudges me out of my nervousness. I caressed his head. "Shall we ?" Aurum asks Erebor. Talk about manners. That is one well trained creature. " We shall. " Erebor declares. " Ready your wings ...yes...stedy now Aurum...yes...relax....NOW!" As soon as the words leave Erebor's lips both the pegunicorn sprinted up.
It's okay Celeste you can open your eyes now." Aurum tells me as I peel my eyes open...I look at Erebor and he was looking at me sympathetically. "Are you okay? " I nodded and he gave me a dashing smile. I smiled back.
"Look around Celeste..." Erebor tells me by pointing his eyes around.

The night was not just black...thats one thing I learned that day. The cloudless sky streaked purples and dark blues of so many shades till I felt hypnotic with the colours. The stars splashed its beauty all over the sky not leaving an inch of the sky barren. My body tingled with powers...waiting to erupt...my heart couldn't be any happier.
"Erebor...I feel so different...I feel so-" "Powerful?" Erebor interrupted my sentence. I look at him with a silly expression." Why yes how do you know? Can you Aurelisians read minds? " I laughed. " No my beautiful...it's just knowledge...you are surrounded by your element. You are ought to feel the surge of power. He adds. "My element...what do you mean?" I look puzzled at him. He shakes his head..."you have a lot more to know about yourself beautiful. You are the ether guardian. Ether stands for space,  sky, vaccum and all the celestial objects. You can manipulate them even with a flutter of your wings my gracious fairy." I gulped at all those he said. "Really?" I look at him wide eyed. "Yes...and hence your power will jolt up more in Aurelis...as you shall be surrounded by your element". I look forward as my tresses whips the air.

"What the heck are those?" Eldor screams.
We look up and froze at the sight before us.
