((That's okay I will bug in when I disagree strongly with something ))

Ellamiel sat next to the guestroom bed Alias was laying in as she heard someone knocking on the palace gate. She waved her hand in the air and heard as the gates opened at her command.

"Please, come in, I'm on the third floor in the west wing, you'll find me in the room with opened doors. Oh, and please take Lydia with you."

******

Lydia watched as the gates opened themselves without any help from any physical being. Suddenly she realized how silly it was that she was hiding in the bushes from the winged girl. She stepped up and onto the path leading the to the palace.

"Umm... hello there" she said as she started walking towards Aquila.

"I'm sorry if it was rude to hide from you" she continued, "it's just that as I was walking on the bridge I got really scared when Rhé flew past me, and then I heard you come as well and I felt it was best to run the last bit to Nondra and hide just in case. Then I followed you to the palace."

After days and days of walking through Narion, following the Siphina, wich leads directly to the ocean, Hylian spended his days. He slept in small villages like Phithedoiestry with friendly elves. They all knew about Hylian so they all gave him the best chambers and the best food a man can wish.

It became dusk. The night only takes 2 hours and that's about the time Hylian usually sleeps. He knew he should have take some rest in the previous village, but he decided to move on, looking for another. Suddenly, as he was walking, the Zré, a river that flew next to the Siphina, flew in the Siphina. Hylian knew what this meant. The bridge to Nondra was not far anymore. He decided to speed up a little so he could arrive this day there. It became darker. In the water you could see the beautiful orange reflection of a gaint moon hanging almost straight above you. Hylian did not pay much attention to this and kept on walking.

When he finally arrived, it was morning again. The bridge was made out of gray to white stones. They smelled like something Hylian never smelled before. 'New' was the only word Hylian could use to discribe the smell. He walked on the bridge and thought: Strange... I thought they were guarded... Suddenly a powerful voice took over his thoughts. "Speak your name, stranger." Hylian was shocked. "Who are you? Where are you?" Sif answered: "I am Sif and i'm right beneith you. Now speak your name, stranger." Hylian relaxed a bit but then asked curiously: "So... You're the guard?" and looked down over the edge of the bridge. Suddenly Sifs voice became annoyed and said: "YES! Now speak your name, stranger!" Hylian laughed a bit and looked down again. "Ooh! You're the river, you're THAT Sif, right?" Now Sifs voice was angry and loud and the water below him was boiling and fast moving. "YES!!! Now say your name; this is a sacred bridge!!!" Hylian was shocked once again and said calmly: "Relax, my name is Hylian Kiuan and they asked me to become Advisor of Narion." There was a moment of silence then and after 20 seconds Sif answered: "You may come through"

Hylian walked and saw a rainbow above a mountain in the distance. He never had been in Nondra before. Except when he was just a baby. Imagining of how this wonderful place his parents always spoke about, he walked on the 'gray to white' bridge.

Aquila smiled at the young girl, "I take it you're Lydia, the one that Ellamiel spoke about? I do not mind that you followed me, in fact I'm happy to know that others arrived. Let's continue on then, Ellamiel said that she'd be on the 3rd floor west wing."

Without waiting for a reply, Aquila entered the palace and walked through the glittering entrance hall until she reached a large staircase. Ascending it slowly, her light sandals clicked merrily as she rose to the 3rd floor. Turning to the left, Aquila walked into what she believed was the west wing. She walked along it until she reached the room with opened doors.

Entering cautiously, Aquila saw Ellamiel and bowed deeply, her wings ruffling her pink hair. "Greetings lady Ellamiel, I am happy to have finally arrived, Lydia is close behind me. But may I enquire as to why I was summoned here? For I am not going to be the empress or advisor of any country."

Ellamiel turned her head to look at Aquila and Lydia who entered the room right behind her as she smiled at them both.

"Welcome to Nondra" she said with her soft voice as she stroke the forehead of Alias.

"I am sorry but I can't reveal anything else than what you already know until all others have arrived. For now you are granted the freedom to walk wherever you want on the island. You will each get an own room here in the west wing, so please chose the one that pleases you, the large room at the end of the wing is reserved for Phalan Flamebearer though." she continued.

"If you need anything or have any questions about the island or such ask me. Also, I encourage you to get to know each other as you will be united by the holy bond of the Gods".

Ellamiel thought it felt strange yet natural to meet up with these new people, as she had never experienced this before. She rose up from the bed and walked to the outside of the room. She gave kiss to both Aquila and Lydia on their foreheads and said:

"I'm going to get Alias some more water, please, make yourselves feel at home."

******

Lydia watched as Ellamiel disappeared down the huge marble stairs. She noticed that she hadn't said anything to her yet but still she could feel the warmth of the kiss she had been given, it almost felt like it had comforted her in this strange place.

"So, you said you don't know what you got summoned for to Nondra, that's quite strange" she said.

"Anyway, maybe we should pick ourselves rooms?" she asked while looking down the long corridor.

Alias began to awake from her sleep, she was feeling very dizzy but nothing a little water can't cure. She glanced around and saw she was lying on a very large bed. It had a rose blanket which Alias was currently wrapped in, and pillows with an elegant design on them. Alias recognised the design almost immediately, the design was a word written in Spiran- the language of the Sprites.

"Peace and Prosperity," Alias gently spoke as she read the two pillows.

Forgetting the pillows Alias began to look around the room, it was very beautiful and very large. There was a dressing unit to the left in front of her, it was made of the finest oak in Elval. There were many little drawers flowing from the top to the bottom of the unit. On top there were three mirrors, the middle one was that of an oval shape while the two mirrors surrounding it were a rectangular shape.

The room itself was painted in a very rich green colour, with a wonderous white ceiling. In the center was a small painting of an Angel playing the harp, this helped soothe Alias. She saw the carpet was red and noticed the immense amount of detail on every rose sewed into the carpet. She looked over to her left and saw a small balcony. The glass doors were open and the curtains were pushed to the side allowing anyone to go through.

Alias rose from her bed and walked calmly to the balcony, and what a site it was. Her mouth dropped an inch when she came to view the beautiful country, Elval. Alias saw the many valleys and mountains which lie endlessly in Elval, welcoming all the people of Elval to visit. She saw the glaciers in the center of Elval, Alias used to live around there. It was cold but it was always such a good feeling to be near something so beautiful. Alias tilted her head to the left and saw the great desert which would lead into the country of Elil, also known as the Fire Country.

Alias sighed and began to think of her mother and how much she missed her.

As Ellamiel entered the room she could see Alias standing on the balcony.

"Up already? You should rest you know" she said as she put down the fresh can of water she had fetched from the spring in the palace garden.

"I don't have any servants here in the palace, so you can ask me if you need anything" she said with a smile on her face.

"Oh, and I do know it must be hard to be so far away from you mother, but I'm sure as you get used to the place it will get easier and as everything is finished you can go back home again" she added and turned to the door to walk out.

((Edit: Corrected some grammar stuff, gah ))

"Hm?" Alias turned around after listening to Ellamiel speak for the very first time. "Please wait, I have some questions I need answered," Alias said jogging slightly towards Ellamiel.

Ellamiel turned around and looked at Alias.

"Well, sure" she said and walked to the bed and sat down.

"I can't promise you an answer, but go ahead" she said while watching straight at Alias with her big blue eyes.

Alias walked slowly towards Ellamiel and sat calmly on the bed.

"What was after me?" she said remembering the incident which lead her to this very moment.

"I... I'm not sure" Ellamiel said.

"I know for a fact that it didn't have the ability to harm you physically, so it must have been a demon of some kind" she explained.

"I fear that it might be the work of the leaders of the revolution that destroyed so much a couple of decades ago. I’m guessing on that all the evil brought demons to this world. And now that new leaders emerge they have no other wish but to destroy them" Ellamiel continued.

"But as I said, they can't harm you physically, the only way they can get to you is by manipulation and creation of fear. You need to be strong to face them, resist them and banish them with the power within. Does this answer your question?"

Instead of hurrying to the castle, Hylian decided to look at the view of the ocean in the middle of the bridge. Both Nondra and Narion seemed endlessly long, only being seperated by a powerful river, that would, beyond the edges of what Hylian could see, would flow into the ocean. Straight above the oceanic horizon a full moon, almost invisible due the sunlight, smiled at Hylian. If you kept watching it closely you could even see it move. Nralon was the closest and smallest moon of Herion. Hylian moved on. The bridge seemed kilometers long, yet Hylian enjoyed every centimeter.

It was a dream since he was just a little child, going to Nondra. Normal civilians were not allowed to visit it, and even if they would, Phithedoiestry is a very long way from the bridge. Hylian reached the end of the bridge, and looked around to the distance that he walked. He was tired, but awake enough to go to the place where he had to be. He turned around immediatly and asked Sif: "Great Sif, do you know, by any coincidence, where i have to be? They did not give me very good guiding lines where in Nondra i have to be..."

Alias began to remember her exact feeling when having encountered the demonic spirit. She was feeling pain and agony, feelings which she has experienced before.

"But, I felt pain. So much sorrow. I remembered my father's death and all of the pain in my life was attacking me at that very moment. It was as if, I hadn't truly felt pain as much as I did in that moment," Alias explained, a small tear fell down her cheek.

"This is very odd for me. I usually never get emotional, I rarely show my feelings. Maybe I'm not fully capable of being an Empress. I'm sorry," Alias said as she quickly got up and headed to the door.

"I'm sorry I wasted your time. Goodbye,"

The journey to the bridge seemed longer then it looked. The path was rugged and steep. There were more then just briars and thorns on the way. Sharp stones were cutting at Arianna's feet they were getting tired and sore. While struggling to rise to the new heights throu the heat of the day her heart faint and sad, her soul weary within. While toiling with a load of burdens and care, the load seams heavy their is no one around to share in the burdens. It is a big responcibility being Empress. Hearing a bird sining in the trees up above she looks upward enjoying the sweet simple sound as the birds seem to say "Let your heart be not faint now the journey's begun, there is one who still beckons to you. So look up ward in the joy and take hold of her hand, she will lead you to heights that are new. A land holy and pure, where all trubble doth end, and your life shall be free from all cares. Where no tears shall be shed, for no sorrows remain. Take her hand and with her enter in."

As Arianna walked along the bridge her burdens were lifted, The bridge was made of fine workmanship, built with the strongest vines and ropes that could ever be found, and wood found only from a rare Pinepalm tree that could only be found in Narion It produced delicious nuts that tasted like pineapples, they were good for long journes because of their nutrition and size. Arianna always had some with her because they would last for days.

Reaching almost half the way to Nondra the waters begain to rage, the billows were tossing high, the the clouds over powerd the sun and the skies were over powered with blackness. Looking around it was to late to turn back. Holding tightly to the vines Arianna noticed rising from the waters Sif the guard of the bridge raging out of the waters from beneith the bridge, "State your name and bussiness" Sif said as the thunders roared, and lightning began to flash in the skies all around her.

"I'm Arianna Empess of the land of Narian and I've been summend to Nondra." Arianna said bravely still clinching on to the vines.

"The wind and the waves shall obay thy will Peace be still"

The sun over powered the the skies and the waters calmed, as if nothing had ever happend. Birds were once again singing. The rest of the way to Nondra didn't seem so long.

Aquila smiled sweetly at Ellamiel, and nodded at Lydia. "Okay then, let us find our rooms." Walking along the corridor of the west wing, Aquila peered at each of the doors, the doors were all different and each uniquely crafted. She stopped at a door with very light, almost white wood, it had a pink rose crafted into the front and a thin border of pink around the edges. Opening it carefully Aquila smiled at the room.

A queen sized bed, built of the same material as the door was in the middle of the far wall. Its sheets were a pale pink silk, as were its pillows and blankets. There were two bedside tables, a desk and a chair, all made of the same wood and decorated with pink roses. Two white and green lamps sat on the bedside tables, and a bunch of roses in a pale green vase sat on the desk. The carpet was a deep forest green, topped with a pure white rug, and the walls were a very pale pink. A small white door lead to the balcony, and a white window was on the other side.

Aquila sat down on the soft bed and smiled graciously, "This is definitely my room, I do wish Rosepetal were here to see it."
