(Part of my Rodeld stories)


The night grew thicker as we approached the long forgotten city,
which existence was almost a myth,
we glided down through the trees and the leaves moved
around our bodies in a welcoming dance.

It was a peaceful and quiet night,
the wind kissed our faces and caressed Adar's silver armor
and seemed to encircle my ancient sword.

I could see this sensual dance between this phantom city's air and us,
I could hear my breath and the burning beats of my heart,
Adar's heart was like the wind itself they would merge and I would hear no difference,
while, the wind provoked the fire in my heart to rise,
it was pulsating so strongly I feared everyone would hear us soon,
I can not explain these feelings, for I never felt them before,
I looked at Adar but for once he seemed unaware of my ever growing emotions or
so I thought, he seemed so tense... 
Now standing upon the city's gate, the wind emerged from within me and its color
was now red in appearance visible to all or least I thought
and rushed to the gate's locks opening them before our eyes...

Then the wind itself materialized in front of us...


-"It's been a long time my Prince..." Said the newly materialized wind.
- He addressed Adar, as I looked at him in disbelief.
Adar's face was tense as if he did not know the outcome of this meeting.
he approached the swiftly and handsome man after he asked me for my sword, which I thought
to be so strange,
because he did not need it.

With my sword in both hands as in a ritual in front of the wind itself
he stepped forward and asked him...

-"Do you and your city acknowledge the  oath of your ancestors,
made to the ancient ones of Phoenix with their blood under this sword,
at the beginning of your time?
Are we still one... Briseas, son of Aquilo,
father to the unknown to you Aira, now daughter of fire...?"

-The wind kneeled down offering his palm to the sword- 
-"I am! As it was my father before and his father before him"
- A thought clouded his face for a moment and he softly said-
-"Unknown to me, my daughter is not, for there are no secrets to the wind...!"

-He then transform into the wind once more inviting us to fly to the city
after him.

-This day we entered Zephyr's city's gates.
 I was viewing this amazing place for the first time as a gust of wind
moved backwards and behold there was a sight to be held for centuries to come
the city was now visible to us.
We entered this  ancient golden city with our hearts full of hopes,
and the knowledge that the battle was at foot...

it feels quite suspenseful, my way of not predicting how this all will revolve radically
