the baby’s head.
With tears threatening to overfill my eyes I tell her, “You need to name her, now! You are fading fast!”
She glances at me and nods in agreement; I am sure she feels the cold hand of death approaching quickly with each dying breath she takes.
She finally manages, between sobs, to gasp out, “You will be forever known as Lea. You will change this horrible world with your beautiful immortality.” When the words escape her beautiful lips, her last breath rattles in her chest.
Wiping away a tear, I am now faced with the stark reality of knowing I have to get Lea to safety. I'm not sure if my having her is the safest place for her to be.
I scoop up Lea , and look over at Aison who just gives me a sad look with his grim red eyes. I slowly start walking to the chamber door with the beautiful angel of a baby cradled in my arms. Aison opens the door for us to walk through. We walk in silence but evidently, he is aware I am terrified and have no idea what we should do with this baby.
“Everything will be all right; we just have to get her out of here.”
We walked through the altar room, and I saw curled up in the corner were the two beautiful Faeries. I completely forgot about the beautiful Fae who were under the compulsion of Strigoi.
Walking over to them, Aison quickly ripped their shackles attached to the cold stonewalls in half. The Faeries jumped, as he got closer to them to remove the harsh iron from their wrists. When I saw their terrified reaction to him, I quickly said, “We are here to help not harm you.”
I see understanding in their eyes as they slowly nod their heads. I quickly try and gain their focus by introducing myself. “My name is Ciarra, this beautiful baby is Lea, and his name is Aison.”
The beautiful Fae with the black iridescent wings smiled at Lea then said, “My name is Nerria and this female is named Rossa.”
I cannot help but notice Rossa’s wings are half missing; her black and red wings are coiled in on themselves , and look raw from this distance. Both Fae are covered in what only can be described as glitter. In what little light this cave of hell emanates, they are sparkling. Nerria has beautiful red hair and the most amazing milky white skin with blue and I think green sparkles. The green eyes on both the Fae are breathtaking. I don’t think I have ever seen a green eye with such little pigment. Rossa has black wavy hair with the same porcelain-like skin and the longest eyelashes I have ever seen.
Nerria stands and helps Rossa to her feet but stumbles. Nerria says something in an alien tongue, but Nerria’s alien language seems to help Rossa stable herself as she gains her composure.
Nerria walks over to Lea and me trying to ignore Aison as much as possible. Looking to Rossa as if for reassurance she says, “I must warn you and Aison, the dimension you have opened between this and the underworld have let in something very dark and evil. It is close by and I don’t know any way other than our portals to transport Rossa, myself and one other pure of heart out of this depraved world you call home!”
I comprehend the full gravity of the situation and know she is talking about baby Lea. Not wanting to put her in any more danger than she already is, I nod in agreement. “Where will you take her? Will she be safe? Will I ever see her again?”
“Yes she will be safe, only the purest of hearts are able to step foot in Nalla Vareim. We shall raise Lea as our own; yes, you may see her. We will give you a communication crystal and whenever you would like to see her or talk to either Rossa or me, we will answer you.”
Rossa handed me a pulsating black crystal, and I could feel the powerful energy making it vibrate in my hands. “Thank you.” I kiss the beautiful Lea on her forehead and slowly hand her over to Nerria who steps forward with her arms extended. She carefully receives the hungry newborn.
