CHAPTER IV: CURTAINS OF CHAOS - SIDE A: A WINTER'S TALE (3)
The queen of the primary palace, stepped into the singular might of the glittering bells of the cold domain. The First Sacred, was the uniqueness of the fortress embedded in flowers and delicacy. An astral connotation, which lost Leyra in the mysticism of fascination; in the relief of the divine. Its walls were covered with paintings made by the best painters and craftsmen in the region. Their colors penetrated a unique depth in the history of the queens; while its past was related through the great works of the masters and craftsmen.
Although the daughter of the rivers remained dumbfounded by such gigantic works, there was one painting that particularly caught her attention. I was cornered, alone. The figure reflected a woman escaping from a forest, her hands covered in red and orange flames.
"My lady, is this a woman carrying the fire?" Leyra asks.
“It is holding the Anivo *, the energy of the fire” exclaims Vicky, “it is the carrier of the light. The Goddess Marlina, for some. But it is only a representation of their history. It is very much like you, in fact. "
"Who was she?"
"Once upon a time, Elgoneth's sister." Vecoria exclaims. “Once upon a time, the queen of Adnia, the origin of the Solarians. But now she only remains as the spirit of light, and is revered in the great culture of Solari. "
With her two fists of bluish fire, she protected the avalanche that was to destroy the Ermual bridge. Just as you have, with the bridge of Lívithur. That is why I am going to commission you a painting, just for your memory. "
"It is an honor, my lady," Leyra exclaims. "Although, I honestly don't think I deserve this so quickly."
“Nonsense Leyra,” Vecoria exclaims. “Trust me, your arrival here brings us to the maximum of our vibrations. The creator watches us. "
"Ihonyel!" exclaims the winter queen.
"Yes me ma'am!" responds a near soldier.
“I want an account of the Livithur Bridge, with the woman's features right away! Please use the light carrier, for reference only! "
"Right away my lady!"
"I'll give you three days and three nights for this!" Vicky responds. "To work!"
The women continued walking, this time entering closer corridors. Leyra lost herself in the quality of the portraits: in the fineness of their details and lines. And treasured the wonders of a kingdom known for the eternity of time.
"So tell me, daughter of the rivers," says Vicky, "do you have a special one?"
"What do you mean?" asks Leyra.
"You know exactly what I mean." you answer Vicky. “You’re too beautiful. Don’t pretend I would buy you don’t have any lover. "
"Well, surprisingly I don't."
"You don’t? Seriously? "
"No, and you know, it's fine that way." exclaims Leyra. “I've understood this path requires a lot of me. I´ve been completely devoted to my father´s will, and you know, this journey isn´t always nice. It demands a lot of me, I've huge responsibilities. This path is way too demanding, to be ingrained so much in someone’s feeling. I´m not in a position, to deal with commitment. "
"Well if you say so"
"I mean don't get me wrong, I think love is one of the most beautiful things in the world." Says Leyra. “It's just – I think right now is not a great moment for me to be thinking about something like that. I should be focus on my path, and my will. And the journey that lies in front of me. "
"What if that journey is leading you to love?"
“I don´t think so,” Leyra exclaims, “I´m not neglected to it. Is just, every time someone gets attached to me, something chaotic happens, and I run away. Maybe my soul is not ready yet. Besides, if in this path I shall ever encounter someone, I think I’ve already done it. And believe me, it did not end pretty well. "
"Well, let me give you some advice my friend." you answer Vicky. “Love is chaos, because chaos, is the source of every creation. You just have to mend your mind, and ease your heart. It's all for it, if you really want it. "
"That's the thing," Leyra responds, "at this point, I don't really know if I want that anymore."
“I don´t buy that, but okay,” says Vecoria. "It could be true, too."
The women then headed down a high and deep hallway. There were dozens of cameras on it. They walked hall by hall, goal by goal, door to door. She found a divinity in all of them, for these were mostly assembly workplaces. Manufacturing doors of the large welders; the assembled men retracted sweat and effort, denoting the first divine and angelic structures that surrounded the temperance of the realm of perfection. Its greatest riches.
Vecoria then, entered a singular room. In it, there were seven podiums, and on top of them, were glass capsules that seemed to contain different colored creatures. Divine diamonds, prostrate as tokens of true excellence and perfection. Behind the podium, there were seven cameras; all closed and secured. These were very tall. And they were full of crystals, segmented i n seven different colors.
"Leyra, have you ever heard of the crystal of passions?" asks Vecoria.
"No, I've never." responds Leyra.
"There are types of crystals for different types of love." You answer Vecoria. “They represent a unique energy field, on the seventh possible ones from the major realm. And if the lovers get one of these, the energy will manifest within them, for all eternity. "
"What?!" asks Leyra, enthusiastic. "How?"
"So you're indeed interested." You answer Vecoria.
"I mean, for a friend of mine."
"Who do you think you´re lying?" says Vecoria. "I know we are your only friends left!"
"You don´t need to be rude.” says Leyra, turning her look. “How does it work?"
“They have a seed inside of them. These are the Seven Seeds of Love. " Responds Vecoria. “You broke the crystal, and the seed; you eat half of it, and the other half for the other lover. "
“The Rosel Seed is found in the reddish dark crystal,” continues Vicky. “It represents the Romantic Love. It delivers passion, and desire for the lovers. The Lemilia Seed is found in the Bright Amber Crystal; it represents Unconditional Love, one that will last forever, and even prevail in your future lives. The Nudu Seed, is found in the Greenish Crystal; this is my favorite one, since it delivers the love for the universe and the cosmos, and maintains you in this vibration, forever. This is the one I took, when we first discover it. "
"But what did you do with the other half?"
“I plant it,” Vecoria responds, “once in the Fehler mountains. It was the instructions, that I got from your father, to make it work. And hundreds of years later I now can tell you, it has worked. "
"Then comes the Cragma Seed, found in the pink crystals" continues Vecoria. “It represents self-love, and guarantees the most important love forever. The love of self, this is the one my sister took. Although, this seed is tricky and confusing, since it can easily affect the increasing of the ego self. "
"The Sephire Seed, is found in the blue and cyan diamonds and crystals" continues Vicky. “It represents unions, and connection. It gives love to the family; love to the bond. Then it comes the violet crystal, which contains the Agata Seed. This contains the love of friendship, and secures it for all eternity. "
"What about the dark brown, and the orange diamonds?" asks Leyra.
"These are the Toryiel and Philautia crystals," exclaims Vecoria. “And are the rarest and unique collection of diamonds you’ll ever encounter. Our chambers aren´t so much of them, since we don´t know exactly the nature of these diamonds. Ai wouldn't recommend people to take these. "
"Why not?"
“Because we´ve been dedicated for these through centuries Leyra,” exclaims Vecoria, “and yet, we still don´t know what type of behavior this indicates. People get irrational thoughts, and confusion desires. And it never really works in the best of terms. It just seems to make the person more energetic; more agitated. Until they reached and encounter their death. If we don´t what lies In there, no one does. That is not a clear sign. "
Leyra began to rave between the rear chambers, as the unique power of the crystals contained an energy that attracted that of the woman. Her soul felt glorified near them, and her heart beat before the divinity of the constant mystery that seemed to dance over it.
"You want one?" asks Vicky.
"Can I?"
"Of course!" you answer Vicky. “But remember, this should be a wise choice, since it's only one crystal for life. Only one seed, for eternity. "
The woman foresaw the sacred destiny among all energies. But her heart was bumping fast and wide, around the reddish one. She opened a small gate, and took one of the mini diamonds. And guarded in her brown bag.
"I´m just going to guard one for now," exclaims Leyra.
"It's okay. Just remember, not you nor the other person should never eat it completely. " exclaims Vecoria. “It's half and half, if you want it to work. Otherwise, you’ll become obsessed with your feelings. You´ll develop dementia, and then your brain will become insane; so hard, it´ll become unbearable to your spirit. Then it´ll be too late, t can actually make your soul lose desire to live. "
"So, If I eat one entirely, I'll die?" asks Leyra.
"Not immediately, but you eventually will." Says Vecoria. "Which is way worst, for it's a painful and slowly death."
The women then left the room. Tension seemed to be increasing within the chamber, so they decided to walk outside the palace, and enter the frozen streets. A singular ceremony passed between the laurels, and the locals bowed before the presence of the queen, who walked like a true speed between the divine passageways of the winter reindeer.
"So, that crystal must sure be for someone." says Vecoria. "Who’s the lucky man?"
"No one, yet." exclaims Leyra. “As I told you before, I'm not ready for this right now. I just want to be prepared for it, if I ever should. "
"So you accept it will come. "
"I just acknowledge it." replies Leyra. “You never know what tomorrow may bring.
"You're a funny and confusing lady." exclaims Vecoria. “I think it's time for a drink! Let's have something to celebrate! Why don´t you accompany to the Gautic Bar? We can taste the new Banaba Wines! "
"You have drinks in here?"
"Leyra my love," says Vecoria, "have you ever heard, of the Artic Grapes?"
