Hylian said happily and surprised to Ellamiel who just kind of introduced herself: "Oh so you're Ellamiel? I've heard so much about you!" and when he got to know Aquila he nicely smiled at her, silently greeting her. "I will let you two alone to talk, could... could you just show me where my room is? I'm pretty exhausted, i havn't slept in 2 days..." he said pretty emberrassed because he did not wanted to interrupt Ellamiel in her conversation with Aquila.

"You may choose any of the rooms here in the west wing, though the large one in the end of the wing is for Phalan, though I doubt you would like it anyway. All the rooms are individual and made to please the ones they are made for. I'm sure you will know which room is made for you when you find it." Ellamiel explained to Hylian as she pointed with her hand down the west wing.

"Now then Aquila, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" she asked her.

The doors alone even described for who it was made. Not knowing were to start looking at a lot of doors, he began his search. All the doors were almost closed so he could see it good wich room belonged to who. He looked through the first door and saw a red room. Not mine he thought. The next room was more likely to be Hylians room. It was darkblue with random lighter blue stripes on it. It looked like a river and made Hylian think of his home. The border of his window and the wood of the bed was colored orange yellow. Above the window there was a Phitek (the language Hylian originally speaks) saying: "Hechme peroto sini Mbeo." wich is roughly translated: "Spirit is the greatest strenght." Hylian already felt home here and layed on the bed. He looked around the room, knowing that he would spend a long time here and before he realized he fell asleep.

Aquila smiled at Ellamiel and began, "Well, I know all the rules about Nondra, but I have a very dear friend who I wish could come to visit me. I presume I shall be staying here a while, and shall miss my friend dearly. And my friend, well she isn't a humanoid friend. She is a swan, known as Rosepetal, I'm not sure whether you know of her, but I was wondering if animals were allowed to visit us here?"

Aquila spoke softly and sadly, she had known Rosepetal all her life, and hated to be very far from her. She was hoping that other animals were allowed on Nondra, but would understand if they weren't.

"I'm sorry to say but that is not possible" Ellamiel said worried for that Aquila would get terribly sad.

"Though one would see no harm in it, this island is still a holy place, and the Gods intend to keep it that way. They can be s stubborn at times you know." she continued to ease the situation.

"Of course you can still go and see her at the bridge gate, though I would not advice you to go further as I believe the pirates sailing around close to the bridge would just love to catch someone who has been to Nondra."

Ellamiel looked at Aquila who seemed to have lightened up a bit after hearing that she could still go and see her dear friend.

"As it is a long walk to the bridge you may take one of the winged horses to get there, they are fast and reliable." she said gazing at Aquila's own wings.

"If you need one." she added with a smile.

Aquila nodded her head, still slightly sad that her friend could not be with her. "Yes, I understand, thankyou for your offer. I think I shall visit her, after we finish our meeting of course. I do hope the others arrive soon though."

Walking around the corridor, Aquila suddenly had an idea, "Do you have a library in this great palace lady Ellamiel? I have some things I wish to research, as my personal library is not very extensive."

"Of course we have a library" Ellamiel replied.

"As I've been here so long... well, since the beginning of this world I have had lots of time to read" she continued looking a bit dreaming, "Well my point is that the Gods have given me a copy of every book ever to be made in this world. You'll find the library on the second floor, in the east wing" she explained.

Suddenly Ellamiel felt a bit sad of her destiny and she realized how long she had been on the island without ever meeting outsiders in a long time. Of course she did enjoy the company of Sólith, Amumir and all the other creatures on the island but still. Ellamiel walked slowly to a nearby window and gazed at the view.

Aquila smiled and bowed to lady Ellamiel, "Thankyou kind lady. I think I shall go now, and visit the library, call me when the others are all here."

Walking down the polished staircase, Aquila stepped onto the second floor and made her way to the east wing. Checking each door, Aquila found one door made of deep red wood, it had library written on the front in flowing script. Opening the door carefully, she entered the room, which was very dark. As she closed the door, the dark blue curtains magically pulled open, tieing themselves with thick golden rope.

The room was very elegant, the floor was a deep velvety blue carpet and the walls were boarded with dark red wood. Many couches, tables and chairs lay neatly about the room, and there were bookcases set into every wall except that which held the large windows.

Smiling gloriously, Aquila walked in and carefully began searching the shelves. Finally, she found a large volume on herbal potions and magic. Taking it down off the shelf, she sat down on a plush couch and began to read. Rosepetal had taught her about herbs and healing magic, but she wanted to learn more, and she might as well spend her time here learning.

Phalan walked into the palace courtyard, with one hand on the haft of his mace, not because he intended to use it, but it somehow made him feel better. He looked around, the place was large, even for a dragon and much of it was open to the crystal blue sky above. Plants and trees he had never seen before bloomed across the courtyard, trees that bore strange fruit that was perfectly flat, and flowers that seemed to glow with a light of their own. He looked around for some sign of the Goddess and when he saw none he called out.

"Hello?" he said. His voice did not echo, nor was it snuffed out, but it simply carried onwards, like the clear ring of a bell, "Milady?" he asked.

Ellamiel jumped with light steps to one of the smaller doors leading the courtyard and stepped out without Phalan noticing her. She smiled and walked quickly behind a pillar close to Phalan.

Ellamiel stepped into the light looking closely at the large dragon standing there not knowing quite where to go.

"Hello Phalan" she said with a sweet tone as her whole body glittered in the sunshine. Her eyes seemed bluer than ever as she looked at Phalan.

Before he could reply she walked up to him and put one hand on the side of his body and the other on the weapon he was carrying.

"You don't mind if I put this away for the time you're here, you can have it back when you leave" she said while stroking his large scales.

Suddenly she realized it might not be that nice to touch creatures she had just met. She stepped back and you could see how her face got a bit red.

"I.. I'm sorry. I guess I'm just used to that type of... behavior, as I haven't been around anyone else than forest creatures on the island since the death of the emperors" she explained.

Phalan stood for a moment, dumbfounded. The Goddess possessed a human form, but she still was glorious to behold. He unstrapped his mace, held it horizontally in both claws and kneeled as he offered it to her, even though just the spiked head of the weapon was bigger than she was.

"My lady and my goddess, I have come in obediance to your will," he said.

While Phalan kneeled with his eyes closed in front of Ellamiel she waved her hand in the air and the mace disappeared into thin air.

"Dear Phalan, there is no need for you to kneel in front of me." she said taking a grip of Phalan's hands and encouraged him to stand up.

"Please, let me take you to your room. For now you will have to get used to me being your servant, as I have none of my own here in the castle, except the help Sólith and Amumir give me."

Phalan was perplexed for a moment. But did not question her, he rose, "Yes milady." He paused and looked around, "I had brought a companion..."

Alias opened her eyes. The room seemed darker now, shadows began to lurk in every dark corner. The sun was setting, soon her first night away from home would arrive. Alias rose silently from the bed and rested her feet on the silk carpet. She lifted off the bed and walked calmly to the door.

The room looked so different in the dark, as if it changed to re-adjust to the darkness. Alias stopped in her steps and peered around, she wanted to take one last look of the room before she left. Silence. Nothing was moving. The wind had even stopped blowing.

Alias carried on and opened the door, resulting in eerie crackle. Alias shivered at the sound and slipped through the door. She noticed two pillars with two small statues on top of them. Alias couldn't make out what was resting on the pillars however it was ever so interesting to her. She continued the marble plated hallway, potraits of various important people hung on the wall in a golden frame surrounding them.

Alias caught glimpse of one peculiar portrait, the person inside seemed so familiar. She couldn't put her finger on it, but the man looked very familiar. He had blonde hair curving backwards, revealing his handsome face. He had a small mustache and beared, both coloured in a bronze paint. His eyes were green, mystical almost. He was wearing a suit, an armour of some sort, and he was wielding a sword. His right foot was bent and was rested on a jagged rock. The background was a light blue colour with lush green trees surrounding him. Alias seemed lost in the man's green eyes and she suddenly realised who he was.

"Oh My Word,"

Alias whispered those words out and began to release tears from her eyes.

"Father," she said as she put her hand on her father's painted face. She began to sob softly yet uncontrollably.

"Why did you leave? Why am I hurt by your decisions?" she said as she rested her head against the portrait, sobbing ever so softly.

Aquila left the book on a small table near the couch and quietly left the library, intending to come back as soon as possible. She quietly made her way back to her room, but on the way she saw a figure sobbing quietly near a portrait. Rushing to the figure's side she quickly held the girl a moment in her arms.

"Dear lady, what is the matter? What grieves you so?" Staring deep into the eyes of the girl, Aquila suddenly stood back and bowed low. "Lady Alias, I did not recognise you, forgive me. I am Aquila, a citizen of Elval. I live near the Soaring Waters, with my swan friend."
