Everything was bright. So bright.

Marko opened his eyes expecting to arrive somewhere near the lakeside cabin he used for seasonal hunting. Instead he found himself standing in a gazebo overlooking a vast lake with purple water. It was serene, quiet and he felt the urge to sit on the bench at its center and look over the creatures that ran around the small lake. At the background Marko could see rolling hills covered with flowers of impossible colors.

"It is beautiful is it not?" came a deep voice.

Marko turned slowly to see a man with blond hair and bright blue eyes staring out at the scenic view before them. He didn't feel the need to be wary of the man not that he wasn't intimidating; the blue eyed man was clearly built for battle. Yet Marko felt only peace in the presence of this stranger.

"Yes... But I have seen greater beauty." Marko said looking back at the view.

"Ah, yes there are those who hold an ethereal beauty that transcends time and death, a beauty of the soul that lingers connected to ones whole."

Marko simply nodded. What was he suppose to say to that?

"You do not belong here Marko Leipoden, Prince of the werewolves,  heir to Leiporia, " the man said turning to look at Marko.

"No I do not." Marko said not questioning how the man knew his name. "But how did I even get here?"

The man seemed to think for a moment. "You are currently traveling at such high speed that everything that makes you has been divided to its finest portion. Your mind has simply slipped into this realm for the period of your travel." the man examined Marko closely "But to come to me... only a member my family can connect directly to this realm, only she could have had the power to get you here." the man looked worried.

"she did not mean too, she lost control of her power. it was a high pressure situation. "

"Her powers are growing too fast, not even my grandfather at twenty thousand years old could achieve this." the man put a firm hand on Marko's shoulder "You must help her control her power. It will only grow and if you do not help her she will be consumed by it, it will consume everything."

"Tell me what to do?"

The man looked pensive for a moment before saying "Know that this bond is bigger than anything you have ever experienced, -"

"Tell me " Marko half ordered.

"When the time is right you will merge your powers, I can sense enough power in you to tell that this has already started, whatever bond you have with her." his blue eyes grew large and his fair skin reddened. "You didn't -"

"No sir!" Marko said quickly correctly guessing what the man was thinking. "We have not -" Marko cleared his throat and looked around "no "

The man gave him a wicked smile "Good or I would have to come to your realm to hunt you for bedding her before the marriage."

Marko visibly swallowed.

"Well here is what you will do. Lean into her ear " the man leaned I to his ear. Marko could smell flowers on him yet it was a masculine aroma. "And whisper " the sound that came later were fae words, he took them to heart and sealed them till the time came for him to use them.
