Kaya stood up slowly, still a little weak on her feet. She was very thin from not eating. "I-I am not dressed appropriately though!" But before she could reject, she'd been pulled into the portal along with Zephyr. She stood, wide-eyed in the midst of a beautifully mysterious castle in a long faded light blue cotton night gown. She wasn't sure how to react to this.

"Isn't it amazing, Mother?! They live in a castl-" Before he could finish speaking, he was tackled from behind in a tight hug, and fell over, face first. He waited a moment and began to roll over, the other person moving with him. When he was finally in a position to face his tackler, he saw a beaming smile from a particularly happy girl. "E-Elasia! Hey!" He returned her smile, he was pretty excited to see her again.

Kaya laughed a little at that. "So this is the one who saved my son?" She bowed a bit and smiled warmly. "Thank you so much."

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 3:34 pm

Elasia hugged him tight while looking up at Kaya, "I wanted to save him, he's my special someone! But even if he wasn't my special someone I woulda saved him anyway!"

"Welcome to our home, make yourselves comfortable!" Rayde instructed, "We'll have lunch soon, if it makes you feel better Ma'am, we can give you soup to start with."

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 3:40 pm

Zephyr's cheeks heated up in a bright red flush. "Sp-Special?" He kind of liked the sound of that. He was special to someone. He smiled a little to himself and sat up, still being hugged by Elasia... not that he minded.

"That I think would be very nice." Kaya clasped her hands together and watched the two young kids hug and feel awkward. Young love was always cute to watch.

"Oh! You must be Zephyr's mother!" Sera stepped gracefully forward and gave the woman a hug. "I'm Sera, Rayde's wife. Thank you so much for coming!"

"Oh, I'm Kaya, no, thank you for inviting us! Your home is very lovely." She smiled warmly, almost as though she was happy from deep within herself. Zephyr hadn't seen her smile like that in ages, and he decided he liked seeing his mother that way... so truly happy.

After lunch, Sera decided to introduce them all to the floating garden that Rayde had built for her, it was absolutely beautiful! Elasia sat under a tree with Zephyr while the adults talked a short distance away.

"I missed you last night, I feel like I've known you forever."

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:13 pm

Zephyr smiled and nodded slowly. "I-I feel the same way. When you healed me, I felt like I'd met you before... even though I knew I hadn't." He looked up at the floating tree above them. It was amazing, and so beautiful. "I was glad to know you're feeling better when your dad invited us to lunch. You are feeling better, right?"

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:15 pm

"I think so, I still have a magic limit because I gave away a lot of blood... daddy says even though I can do some things with magic today there are other things I shouldn't do. Like make portals... I helped make clothes today though."

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:18 pm

"Oh wow! So you make your own clothes then? I wish I knew how to do that, then I could take some of the load off of Mother, and I could make her something nice." Zephyr smiled. "Well, I bet you'll be completely well very soon! I heard that wizards heal fast!"

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:20 pm

Elasia nodded, "We do if we obey the rules, and don't worry about clothes for a while... Mom and I have all that covered for you and your mother. The dress she's wearing is really special."

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:22 pm

"Who? Your mom?" Zephyr leaned forward to get a better angle to see. He didn't see anything special about the dress. He didn't understand magic at all apparently. "What's so special about it?" The comment about clothes hadn't yet sunk in.

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:23 pm

"Yours... I don't think she noticed that her dress changed, it's very special!" Elasia grinned, "And your shirt too, I made it myself!"

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:29 pm

Zephyr paused for a moment and looked down. He hadn't even noticed that he went from being bare-chested to having a shirt on. It was very nice... definitely nicer than any shirt he had ever known. "W-Woah!" He gasped, and moved around a bit. It was very light, and it would be easy for him to forget he had a shirt on with how comfortable it was. The best part about it? It fit, and wasn't stained or riddled with holes. "Th-Thank you!" Zephyr wasn't sure what to say after that. He couldn't think of any other words to describe how happy we was. He looked up to where his mother was, and noticed she was wearing a dress now, instead of a faded night gown. It fit her perfectly, and it was pink... her favorite color. "This is... thank you so much! I-I'll only wear it for nice things so it won't get worn out and stuff!"

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:30 pm

"It's a magical fabric so it won't get worn out... it'll grow with you if you like it enough." Elasia said, deciding to lay down in the grass next to him, "I can make you others too, because you're my special someone."

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:34 pm

"R-Really?" Zephyr grinned and looked over the shirt again and again. "H-How can I repay you for this? Y-Your family has done so much for us..."

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:36 pm

"You can't fall in love with anyone else." Elasia said seriously, "Because it will break my heart... that's how you'll repay us." She said, "All I ask."

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:38 pm

Zephyr blinked a few times and laughed a little. "Why would I want anyone else? You've been kinder to me than anyone in the village ever has, and you're pretty to boot."

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:39 pm

"Good!" Elasia grinned, "One day we'll be old enough and then I can teach you magic!"

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:45 pm

Zypher's eyes widened. "So I can learn magic too? Wow!" That was really exciting for him. He pulled her into a hug and held her there. His first lady to court, and he was only thirteen. Zephyr was officially happy. "I wonder when mo-"

A squeal echoed throughout the garden when his mother realized her dress was different... and beautiful. It was very beautiful. She jumped up and down a little and covered her mouth, twirled, muffled another squeal, and he swore he heard her giggling.

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:47 pm

"Aww, she loves it!" Elasia giggled loudly as she accepted his hug, he was so warm and she wished she could grow up and marry him already. "Are you relieved, Zephyr?" She asked.

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:59 pm

"Very... very relieved." Zephyr rested his head on her shoulder as he had his arms wrapped around her from behind. "Thank you so much."

Years passed, and as promised, Zephyr never did fall in love with anyone else. Though, that didn't prevent others from falling in love with him. He was asked many times to court young women in the village, but he always refused, thinking back to his lovely lady. While the chores weren't doing themselves, he had finished feeding the cows and chopping firewood. His mother was doing much better, she'd put on weight and had become close friends with Sera and Claire. Zephyr eventually slightly learned to read, though he wasn't very fast.

He and the boys, Rylen and Jyrdon had become fairly good friends, but he didn't get to see them often. They were usually at school, studying their chosen divisions in magic. He didn't pretend to understand any of it. Magic was still fairly foreign to him, and he was constantly being surprised by the things Elasia and her family could do with magic.

Elasia. He smiled to himself when he thought of her. He wanted to get her a ring, he was now eighteen, and he wanted to marry her... when she was ready. But the time and place would be up to her. For him... he just wanted to give her proof that she was still his. He sat down by the stump he used as a chopping block for firewood and sighed heavily. What kind of ring should he get her? He had saved up a little money... the ring might not be grand, but... he wanted it nice enough to propose with... not that it would be super nice... her father-or brothers could do better. Still, he wanted to use his money to buy her a ring. She'd find it to be special... he was certain she would.

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 5:04 pm

"Zephyr! Do you want to watch the stars with me?!" Elasia called from a portal that came out of nowhere. She loved the stars and was convinced that they were magical in their own right - and maybe her theory wasn't wrong. To most, stars were just stars. "We can kiiiiss." She bribed flirtatiously.

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 8:08 pm

Zephyr smiled when he turned to see her, halfway through her portal. "Ah, you know kisses will get you everywhere, don't you?" He grinned and walked up to her, chuckling a bit. "What are you planning?" He asked, taking her hand and planting a kiss on the back of her palm.

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 8:18 pm

"Too cuddle!" Elasia pulled him through the portal and shut it, forcing herself on him, "I miss you all day and all night!"

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 8:55 pm

Zephyr chuckled some, but now matter how many times Elasia came to him, his cheeks would always heat up in a flush. His cheeks could never get used to it. He slipped his arms about her waist and kissed her lips softly. "I miss you all the time too. I never get to show you off, so the whole village thinks you don't exist. Without mom or I knowing or approving, I'm apparently betrothed to three different girls?" He grinned. "They're going to be sorely disappointed when they find out I'm not the one at the alter..." He kissed Elasia passionately. "I have the most beautiful girl in all of the lands! They can't come close to being as wonderful as you."

**Ikuar** Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:00 pm

"Well... do you want to take me on a tour of your village? We can go make some girls jealous." Elasia could easily give up looking at the stars for him, she loved being with him anywhere.

**Jayrin** Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:13 pm

"Hmm..." Zephyr smiled. "There's a nice place in the center of the village for star watching... And for showing you off." He kissed her longingly, he loved her so much, and he wanted to marry her soon. For him, she was his reason for living. He loved her so much. "Gosh... when I first met you, I didn't think it was possible for you to be any more beautiful... But you've proven me wrong."
