CHAPTER SEVEN

Casden body felt weary and tired, so it was no surprise that when the peer was out of sight and the boat began to float above the clouds, he began drifting off.

Trying with all his might to keep watching in wonder, as the boat headed towards another floating rock, the rock seems about a mile apart from the one they had just departed from. The sway and the gentle rock of the boat, lull the tired Casden to sleep finally, his body just couldn't take the shock of his situation anymore and gave in to oblivion, and he found himself pulled into a deep and vivid dream.

Casden found himself in a recurring dream looking at an eternal creature for the second time in his life. The beautiful elf took his breath away; there was no way to describe the man that stood in a great room shirtless muscle tense. he move about, talking in an unknown language that he pick up as elvish language, Casden realise, after he listen to his elf, ""yes, he is yours.." a voice said from deep within him, but Casden ignore it, in favour of watching the most exotic handsome man to have walk the earth or wherever this was, but if he was here, Casden did not want to leave.

Casden move around the great room, his feet not touching the white marble floors as his body floats, he wanted to have a closer look at his elf, he needed it. But what if he saw me he thought-but then, he remembers that this was a dream. "It is not a dream, my son, but I assure you he cannot sense you." Ignoring the voice, leading him, Casden look around the great room. It was then he saw the five white hair elders that were seated on the upper level. The door left of him burst open drawing Casden attention to it, there in the opening, stood a boy. no a man, a very beautiful man, his skin as white as snow, long colorful hair, his face was small, his lips was as red as the cherries Casden mama use to give him when she had a little extra to spend at the market. She would reward them, with ripe sweet red cherries, every time his mama was successful in stopping his papa from wasting it at the tavern; the boy entered the room walking elegantly but with authority. Casden took him in. his eyes followed the boy as he walk slowly across the room, dragging behind him a pair of transparent wings long and wide enough that they touch the floor, they were attach to his back, with colors that match the man’s hair, and Casden couldn't look away. "Beautiful...” he found himself whispering, as the fairy stood beside his elf, putting his hand around the bigger man waist. “Atari." the voice inside him echo. A rage so deep, so enticing, rose within Casden, it wanted him to kill. "Kill, kill, kill, and kill."

"Child wake, it is time to wake child."  A soft voice called him into wakefulness, cool breeze brush against his skin, and even though it wasn't cold Casden shivered. The dream and the people before him faded away. he slowly open his eyes to the world around him it was night now, but he could see clearly the two moons in the sky's just above them, shining brightly even though the sky stayed and ere blue, but he could see the stars so vividly. He didn't speak he just laid in his rescuers lap and look at the beauty of this world.

"Beautiful isn't it, that planet there...is Necktar, home of the water people." Melina said and point to the Left planet above them. "We elves hardly ever venture there." she continue as the boat slows its rocking movements, "our king has gone before though, and that one." she pointed to the right at the other planet and Casden follow her movements with his eyes.

"That one is called Isilotate." home of the silks, to us they are a divine race, and only the chosen can ever be welcome onto their home world. Beautiful creatures they are though- we elves draw our magic from the stars the earth and living things around us, sometimes we are able to make contract between their people and ours, even though in the daylight light you may not see them they are there." she said.

"Those stars are our elders and ancestors before us." Casden listen to Melina’s explanations of her world while looking in the blue skies filled with stars.

The boat came to a stop and Melina sigh. She felt the moment when her king felt the present of the youngling; she was just biding her time.

Casden ease up from her lap to look out at the vast forest before them. The boat had dock at the edge of the rock the water stayed floating in the air, Casden guest this was a magical flow, because for the short time that he has been in this world he had begun to accept the things happening around him. "This is Nukmar, the village of tree elves." Melina said while she stood holding her hand out towards the small boy. Casden took it, and hop over the edge of the boat, throughout their journey he felt safe by her side and didn't want to leave it any time soon. "Our home is just through those trees." the Cliffside was busy with people loading and unloading goods, they were going up and down the floating stream traveling from one floating rock to the other.

The journey through the dark Forrest wasn't long; the light shining from houses build into the trees lit their path. the outside of the homes look small because of how they were built to fit the trees, but the inside were huge, when Melina open the door to her home, stepping into the elves home Casden felt the welcoming atmosphere.

"Lady Castella, master Castella welcome home." A young elf greet them at the entrance, looking around him, the first thought Casden had was they held riches that he thought, he would never in his life lay his eyes on such splendour .
