I walked until i was in a clear spot among the trees in the back of the palac, "will this be enough space?" i asked "yes miss it's perfect ". "ok then go ahead" she walked towards the middle of the opening and looked back at me, she was starring at me for a while and changed color 'what in the world just happened' "what did you do, how did you turn blue?!" "miss i turned to the color of your aura so it's known that i am your dragon". "oh.. ok then"
and with that said, she lowered her head and began growling she slowly began to grow in size 'Oh My...' first she turned to a size of a full grown man but kept growing to the size of a giant but kept growing, i took a few steps back , and by then she turned to the size of a four-story house.
"how do i look miss" she said spreading her now colossal blue wings "completely astonishing" "thank you miss" " it's alright you can call me celestea" " ok then celestea" "but what should we call you? ....how about Everest?" yes that sounds lovely thank you celestea" you're quite welcome 'everest'"
" i'm wondering wouldn't you like to ride me ?" everest asked
'me riding a dragon, well ok let's do it !!' "yes sure why not?!" i said very excited "well then celestea hop on" everest said also excited, i struggled at first but everest gave me a hand or should i say wing and lifted me from the ground, i adjusted on her back "are you ready celestea?!" "as ready as i'll ever be" with that she started flapping her enormous wings and the wind around us went crazy.
we raised up from the ground 'Oh My God this is AMAZING' we started of slowly heading towards the mountains "wow , this is just...just so..." "magnificent" she finished for me "yes exactly"i felt so calm as the wind swayed my hair and kissed my cheeks with softness i looked down to see green fields and blooming flowers and trees, rivers flowing gracefully pouring into a beautiful lake that's connected to the sea.
"it's beautiful, thank you everest, i absolutely love it" i said thankfully
"of course, even though you haven't seen anything yet, cause when i speed through the air it's a different story" "well then shouldn't we try it?!" i said smugly "with pleasure" and by this time she flew faster than i could ever imagine 'that's why they call you wind riders' we raced across the sea and flew to the air above the clouds where i could see the sun , the smile never leaving my face, we dove down beneath the clouds "i hope you don't mind getting wet Celestea?!" she said still diving down towards the water "what do you....ahhhh" i couldn't finish but now we were under water, i opened my eyes and oh what a site! all kind of magical sea creatures swimming around us it was wonderful, but the lack of air got the best of us so we had to float back up "ahh that was AMAZING!!" i said almost shouting "this is not the last time we're doing this right" i said hopefully "of course not will do this as much as you want celestea" "thank you everest" you're welcome celestea"we headed back to the palace and landed at the exact place we took of, "well i will go change into dry clothes and i'm sure you're hungry what would you like to eat?"
"no worries i will hunt in the forest and come back as fast as i can, if you allow it of course" everest said "yes of course as long as you don't hunt people" i said jokingly "don't worry, i only eat people when they threaten your safety or mine but of course only if you allow it" "ok then, but be careful and come back safe" "i will" she said and soon she was out of my sight heading to the forest, "well that just happened"***2 hours later***
i changed to a simple pale blue dress with designs for the top👇🏻👇🏻
and tied my black hair to a messy bun with loose strings that framed my face, and slipped in a pair of gladiator sandals to match my outfit.
after that i went to my brother's chamber even though he's never there (always training and sparring) i tried my luck but as always he wasn't there so i headed to the training grounds where i found him sparring with his friends: Bjorn, Linkin, Deres. (celesteas brother is called Liam)
"hello" i said announcing my presence, Liam and his friends all turned to look at me "celest(link's nickname for her)?!you came back" liam asked out of breath "yes i did, can i have a word with you?"
"sure why not. i'll be back shortly" liam said to his company "yes sister, is something wrong?" liam asked worryingly "no no, nothing's wrong i just wanted to tell you that i found something or should i say someone remarkable" i said a little too excited "well what is it" he said impatiently "sorry but not here, not now, after an hour met me at the back of the palace, okay?" i said "why not know?!"
" patience liam, i assures you it's worth it"
and without a single word i left to find my mother but unfortunately i ran into my father king Galen "what are you doing roaming around your supposed to be in your disgusting garden or room" he asked his voice full with hatred 'it had to be him' "I-I was just going to f-find mother" i stuttered in fear "Zartha is in a meeting, now go to your room you Runt" and slapped me hard on the face,and i run to my room, i tried to stop my tears until i reach my room but they came flowing down my face, i reached my room which was isolated in a single tower in the far east of the palace.
i went in and slammed the door shut slipping on the wall till i was on the ground.
I didn't cry because my father slapped me or for calling me a runt but because of the memories behind those word, i remember being a child in my 140's (7 years old) when my brother just got his title as the god of flames which he can manipulate fire but can't conjure it, both of our parents were proud because both of them almost have the same ability my father the exact same as my brother, but my mother can only manipulate her body temperature so that if someone would touch her skin will burn.
i was waiting for my brother to come and tell me about one of his adventures that he goes on, i heard a knock on the door and my brothers head popped from behind it "who's ready for an amazing story?!" he said "me me, i'm always ready!!" i said with such excitement "alright get comfy" i ran to my bed and slipped under the covers waiting for my brother, he came and sat next to me,
" today I'm going to tell you the story of the frost giants of jotunheim, they are giants who can make swords made of ice by there bare hand"
he ushered with his arms in the air as i laid my head on his chest "long ago asgard was at war with the frost giants which are also called jotuns, the jotuns had a special weapon called 'The Casket of Ancient Winter' which gave them there glory...."
i stopped listening as i closed my eyes and imagined how the casket would look like and suddenly i felt cold but then it went away and i heard liam screaming
" celeste, celestea wake up" i opened my eyes and saw my room coated in snow and frost, i paniced and screamed "liam what's happening, liam"
and then both of our parents came in and all that was on there faces were shock and horror "what happened" my father said shivering from the cold as a wind started to blow in the room
"we don't know!!" liam shouted as the wind grew heavier "celestea come her now!!" i quickly jumped from my bed but as i walked my feet left ice looking circles on the ground
"mom what's happening?!" i shouted my voice full of fear, my parents looked at me with realization and my father said with disgust "your daughter is cursed,a RUNT , guards!!, take her to the east tower and chain her up!!" with that four guards came in and took me and the last thing i heard were both my mothers and brothers pleads to not lock me up.Author's note:
this is part one of the memory stay tuned for part two ✌🏻
