The
Castle's History
"Tarsalia love! Watch out that you don't
fall."
"I can stand on my own legs Hubero. You don't need to worry about me
that much." Tarsalia smiled sweetly to her partner. She loved that man
that stood there with his instruments. He could barely look over them, and
still he had seen that she had almost twisted her ankle.
"Still... We have to go a long way."
"Look there. A forest drak." Tarsalia pointed out. She loved the
draks, and even more the culture here. Her past life was far away from this
place, and she knew that she was safe.
Hubero looked at the woman that was hopping from stone to stone. He still
wondered how he could have ended up this way. With a life partner, soon to
come drak and castle. He had looked at the library of DesCas, and had found
some interesting places.
He had borrowed a boat and took Tarsalia with him to see if they could find
a place for there castle.
Hubero had brought some of his instruments for spending time when they were
taking a break. Both clutches weren't ready to hatch, and for that Tarsalia
and Hubero could look around.
"It's getting
dark."
"Not really... It's still plenty of time Hubero."
"Shouldn't we spend the night here?"
Tarsalia looked over her shoulder, and with that saw Hubero fall down a soft
slope. "Hubero!" she screamed, but he had already lost his
balance.
Hubero fell down, and although he was scared, when he landed, he found the
most beautiful place. It was in a bit of a lost place, with some springs, a
waterfall and birds singing idealistic on the background. He got up, tried
to recover what was left of his dirty cloths, and called Tarsalia. But she
didn't answer. Scared, he left his instrument that had been shattered by the
fall, and ran back up the slope.
"Tarsalia?" Scared, he found some new energy and run around.
"Hubero!" Jumping
behind him, she ripped her skirt. "Oh dang.." She was paying more
attention to her dress, than to the ramp that she was running down from. And
it didn't take long before she fell and bumped her head.
"Leave her
alone!" Hubero, not a real fighter, jumped between Tarsalia and some
odd creature. He had found her after some searching, and when he saw the
strange creature, he was terrified that something was about to happen to his
love.
"What?" Tarsalia, who was just awakening again, felt so scared,
that it was hard to breath.
"Hubero.." She whispered in despair. He looked at her, and kneeled
beside her.
"Are you alright? I was just in time..."
"For what?" Tarsalia was a bit disorientated, but she was getting
a grip on the situation. She was getting less scared too.
"Are you alright?" Hubero asked again.
"I think so... But are you?" She didn't ask Hubero. She asked the
small little scared creature that was hiding behind one of the trees.
"Come here sweetie."
"Did you bump your head?" Hubero asked, not understanding.
Tarsalia got up and walked to the small creature. It had two wings like
draks, but it was way smaller and it had only 2 hind legs. It's colour was
mostly grey, but it had a silver layer over it. Tarsalia loved the little
creature.
"What's your name?" Hubero looked at the small creature that
searched comfort in Tarsalia's hands and hair, and it made beautiful high
chirps.
"I don't think it has a name." Hubero said when the little drak,
that he knew as a fairy drak, seemed to look sad.
"Oh.. Why don't we call you Ammexy?" Chirping, the creature
fluttered around her head.
"She likes it." Hubero said.
When Tarsalia looked back towards Hubero, she saw two pairs of glistering
eyes looking to them. Immediately, Ammexy was scared, and she felt it.
Hubero turned around slowly, and when he saw the eyes, he wanted to jump
away, but they made him lose balance. He fell down, and scared as he was, he
tried to hit the attackers off.
But then he heard the soft laugh of Tarsalia. Was that her love for him?
Enjoying the fact that he would be killed soon?
But then he felt the soft tongue on his cheek. Opening his eyes, he saw two
little Vulpa's. One cream spotted example and one plain.
"I think they like you." Tarsalia was smiling.
"It seems that way yes.. Can I get up now?" He asked the two
vulpa's. They backed away softly, but when he stood upright, they were
rubbing their little heads against his legs.
"Lara for the plain vulpa, and Felix for the spotted?" Hubero said
to the two vulpa's. They looked up, and it seemed as they were smiling.
"Why don't we take this place here to be our castle?" Tarsalia
asked looking around.
"That would be wonderful."
And that was the first time
that Tarsalia and Hubero came there, but not the last time. Together with
their new friends, they left the next morning, and returned later, with two
draks and Hywll.
