Jimmy was sitting on the floor, watching the moonlight from the small window at the top of the wall. He would jump every time he heard footsteps. He thought it was Adalis coming to shave his hair, but it always ended up being a guard.
It had been a long time since he felt so lonely. It reminded him of his life on earth, he was always alone, without friends, without family and anyone at his side. His arrival at Fantasia changed the whole stream of his life. He met creatures who were very friendly and caring to him like Ruvyn and Nieven, attentive and protective like Nylian, confusing and mysterious like Taegen.
His thoughts turned to the voice that surprised him from time to time. He had no idea who it was, but he felt like he had a strong connection with that woman.
“Who are you?” he whispered, hoping she would answer him. But it seemed like her voice appeared only to put him in a strange situation like this one.
“I can't trust you anymo
In a fraction of seconds, the atmosphere inside the castle changed. Men screamed in pain clutching their grievous wounds as the Dark Creatures attacked their companions. Adalis was watching his knights beating his enemies so easily, sitting comfortably on his throne.In a few minutes, the centaurs and ogres were already on the ground, burned from head to toe because of the poisonous liquid that the Tentaculios and Leonus threw.Taegen and his friends were currently mastering their swords. They did their best to beat the knights and avoid being burned by one of the sticky creatures. The king felt responsible for the death of his subjects, as well as the wounded creatures. He felt guilty for summoning them to fight on his side knowing that his brother was unbeatable.He tried to find a way to escape to find Jimmy and finish it once and for all, but there was no way to get behind the half-naked knights.Their leader mumbled something in a strange language and
Taegen turned his head and saw the Dark Creatures screaming and transforming into dust. The pumas were groaning and hiding their face from the light. He took advantage of this situation to escape from the main hall and climb the stairs.The light was slowly fading as the screams stopped. He could see clearer now, the corridors were narrow, only portraits of Adalis hung on the wall, still with the same dark colour in the eyes.“Diamond!” he called, hoping he would get an answer from the young man. He opened room after room, finding nothing but empty beds and dusty chairs. He heard loud footsteps, he cursed when he felt someone following him. He turned and saw two knights with a Leonus running toward him. He pressed his lips and ran escaping from them. He climbed other stairs and drew another sword to get ready to fight them. He kept running until he arrived at the top of the castle when he had no way to escape from. He stopped and faced them, pointing the sw
Taegen was playing the piano. The melody that reigned around the garden was so sad that even trees and plants moved slowly with the rhythm.All the servants looked at their King through the windows of the castle. Some cried because they did not want him to lose his smile again when he finally regained it after many years.Ruvyn was looking at him from his room, his head rested on the wall. He was afraid that Taegen would experience the same sadness and sorrow he had experienced after Kythaela's death. The King was dancing his fingers over the keys of the piano, thinking of the last look that Jimmy had given him a week before.After leaving Adalis's castle, Nylian took Jimmy's hand and took him away from Taegen. The young man had tears in his eyes, he just wanted to say goodbye or give the King the last hug, but the duke refused to see them together again. Taegen thought he was right, he didn't want Jimmy to be in danger again because of him. The further he is, the
Nylian finished signing some papers in his study. It was nearly the afternoon and the mansion was peaceful. It reminded him of the years he spent alone after his sister's death.“My Lord,” Karlyle bowed to him and walked with him in the corridor. “Would you like your tea now?”The Duke shook his head, “Later,” he answered. “Is he still sleeping?”“I guess so,” the butler said. “He has not left his room.”Nylian sighed and ran his fingers through his white hair. “Tell the cook to prepare him a delicious breakfast, I will bring it to him.”“Yes my Lord.” the blue-haired Elf left to the kitchen.The Duke sat on a couch. He crossed his arms and kept sighing.Jimmy changed since the battle against Adalis. He knew it had nothing to do with the kidnapping or the mistreatment. The King was the only reason for his sorrow.“The breakfast i
Five weeks later, Jimmy's room was full of papers. They were around his bed, spread on the floor or his desk. The book Nylian bought for him didn't convince him of the Dark Creature's danger but rather gave him ideas of how to get rid of them. He wrote some plans and decided to send them to Ruvyn. He asked Karlyle to come to his room. When the butler entered, he was surprised to see all the mess around.“Don't worry I'll clean this after,” Jimmy said. “I called you before I want you to help me send a letter to the castle.”Karlyle frowned. “You know his grace won't like it.”“It's not for the king,” Jimmy defended. “It's for my friend Ruvyn, I missed him and I want to hear from him.”Karlyle sighed and nodded, “Alright, where is it?”“Here.” Jimmy gave him the envelope. He raised an eyebrow because it wasn't light as it should be. There were at least five papers ins
"My dear friend, you do not know how dark my days are without seeing your smile and listening to your jokes. I wish I could see you again.Everything changed because of Adalis, it reminded me of what you told me about the past and I cannot help thinking that it is not fair.I want all of us to be together and happy, so during these days I kept thinking and ended up with an idea; I was told that the light emanating from my hair is deadly to the Dark Creatures, so I thought maybe you could use it to create a potion.I put a few strands inside the folded paper.I hope I can be helpful.Thank you, my friend."Ruvyn shook his head with a smile. He put the letter on the desk and opened the folded paper to find a few strands of his diamond hair. He gently touched them with his fingers and closed his eyes when he felt his body relax. Jimmy's hair always had that power to make you feel better."What
The next morning, the Duke woke up, put on his white robe and headed to Jimmy's room. He arrived very late the last night from the other village, so he didn't want to wake him up. He walked between the corridors, happily mumbling a song he heard some children singing while holding a small blue box in his hand."Good morning, Your Grace," Karlyle greeted him, "Your breakfast is ready.""Thank you, I will be there after I wake up Jimmy.""Alright." the butler bowed and walked back to the dining room.When he arrived, he cleared his throat and knocked on the door. He knew Jimmy would be still sleeping, so he just entered. He approached the bed, thinking he would find him curled up in his sheets as usual, but he froze when he saw a man holding him. He felt his heart bursting inside his chest, seeing him sleeping peacefully in the king's arms."I cannot believe it," he mumbled to himself.Taegen felt a presence inside the room, so he slowly opene
Jimmy and the king were sitting on the edge of the bed, sighing heavily. The diamond-haired was worried about plenty of things such as Adalis preparing an attack against them for revenge, also the fear of his plan not working and finally about the duke getting mad at him. He felt bad for always making Nylian angry because of his selfishness. He only wished he would understand that he didn't fear the Prince or his evil creatures. He was ready to do anything to protect his friends and his love for Taegen.Jimmy sighed again and stared at the king whose eyes were a colour of a light grey and blue. He guessed he was scared and nervous.He cleared his throat and grabbed his arm, "What are we going to do now?" he asked with a soft voice.Taegen stared at him and smiled. He gently ruffled his diamond hair, "We are going out." he said with a deep voice."Out? Where?" Jimmy raised an eyebrow."There are two horses outside, we are going to ride them."T
