Cursed Eternals

Chapter 5: Their Beginning

In the grandeur of Elysian, where the veils between realms grow thin, I first saw Malakhai amidst the council of peace. The celestial meadow, bathed in the soft glow of starlight, was alive with the whispers of ancient wisdom and the promise of new beginnings.

He whispered, “Dawn-eyed maiden, spirit radiant, who are you?” In me, the essence of the realms converged—a symphony of earth and ether. “She stands in Elysian, a testament to the hope that blooms in the heart of chaos, a beacon that guides us towards serenity,” he continued.

I could feel his eyes on me, as if the world itself rejoiced in my footsteps. I sensed his curiosity and admiration, and I felt the weight of our connection, ancient and profound.

My name, Aelwyn, became a whisper of the wind through the leaves, a ripple upon the water’s surface. Elysian’s gates had opened this year, and its effect would last forever. I commanded the guardians and inspired the divine with my light. Seeking a fresh purpose, my light shone brighter.

May fate allow our paths to cross again, I thought, and may the protectors grant us the blessing to stand by each other’s side. He mirrors my soul, complements my being. I, the goddess of creation, had won an angel’s affection.

In the moonlit realm, I watched Malakhai from the heavens as he moved with poise upon the earth. His spirit, a beacon of light in the shadowed world, mesmerized me, and a longing stirred deep within.

Overwhelmed by the enchantress’s allure, Malakhai went to the lunar throne, where my mother, Lunara, sat amidst the stars. With a voice as soft as the night’s whisper, he spoke, “Grand mother of the one who has captured my gaze, I beseech you for a chance to meet your daughter, Aelwyn.”

With eyes reflecting the depths of the cosmos, Lunara looked at the angel. “Malakhai, your heritage is divine, and hers, lunar. What you ask defies the ancient edicts.”

“But love is the force that moves the stars. Meet her in the dreamscape, where minds are free from earthly bounds. Go to him, Malakhai,” Lunara decreed, “for in love, even the gods will yield. Let your bond grow, and may it shine as a testament to the power of the heart.”

And so, in the realm of dreams, we met. Our connection was immediate, combining two lives destined to entwine.

“Fair Aelwyn,” said Malakhai, his voice a hopeful melody. “In your presence, I find a peace I never knew.”

My eyes, alight with wonder, replied, “Kind one, in this dreamscape. We are only a pair of spirits seeking the warmth of understanding.”

Our love, eternal as the night sky, pure as starlight, grew in dreams.

With my shimmering silver hair cascading like a waterfall of stars, I radiated serenity and tranquility. My soothing touch could calm the most turbulent seas, and my voice was a melody that resonated with the soul’s deepest want for peace. Fate chose me to unify the realms, offering hope during a time of potential strife. Malakhai, whose wings shimmered with the soft light of dawn, was my solace, my sanctuary. In his embrace, I found the strength to fulfill my destiny. He was the whisper of courage that steeled my resolve, the soft caress that soothed my spirit.

In a serene haven, we engaged in endless conversations, our words flowing with the ease of a calm stream. We envisioned a future where all beings lived in harmony, our aspirations a promise and a vow, striving for a world saturated with love. With each nighttime meeting, our bond deepened, and the memory of our trysts lingered like a delicate aroma. As the first rays of dawn crept upon the horizon, our time together would wane, but our love would stay eternal and accessible in the sphere of dreams. Initially, our romance was a quiet murmur in the night, developing into a powerful storm of love and determination. With an angel’s love and a hope echoing through ages, I stepped forth to bring peace, the most sublime.

In the world of dreams, we found solace in a celestial meadow washed in the silver light of a crescent moon. Each step into the dreamscape felt like a realization of my deepest desires and hopes. The soft and dew-kissed flowers that carpeted the ground greeted my feet. The lovely aroma of jasmine permeated the air, and the distant sound of star songs hummed softly. Beneath the willow, alight with fireflies, stood the star-dusted Malakhai, his wings spread wide.

Malakhai took my hand, and we swayed in perfect harmony with the universe’s rhythm. The surrounding meadow spun into a kaleidoscope of colors, reflecting our joy and unity. During our dance, Malakhai—a vision of a world unified in peace, free from the fracturing strife of its realms whispered into my ear a prophecy. I shared my hope of compassion and love, a longing to heal the wounds of the cosmos. With our fantasy deepening, we moved on under the willow, enveloped in the soft light of fireflies. Our memories would forever hold that moment.

Standing atop the hill together the next night, the view was breathtaking. Our affection was clear as we held hands and gazed into each other’s eyes.

As the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, threatening to steal Malakhai away, we held each other close, our hearts beating as one. With a parting kiss, we each held onto the love we shared, carrying it into the new day.

This fantastical visit showcased our affection, the cornerstone of my destiny, hope for all realms. It was a fantasy filled with endless possibilities that we would revisit every night, each time bringing us one step closer to the peace and harmony we yearned to see flourish.

In our dream, the fireflies held a deep symbolism that went beyond their mere existence as tiny insects flitting about at night.

The Celestial Meadow, a lush sanctuary within the dreamscape, was a profound symbol of our love. Each blade of grass and petal of countless flowers: our mission permeated them. Within the perpetually blooming meadow, enduring hope and resilient life were clear.

With Malakhai, I walked hand in hand through the Celestial Meadow. A vibrant tapestry of life surrounded us.

In the following days, the willow tree became a recurring symbol in our dreams, representing enduring love and protection. It highlighted love’s strength, providing refuge. The Dance in the Celestial Meadow showcased our unity.

As we moved together, we exemplified the gravitational pull that keeps the planets in alignment, the gentle push and pull that maintains cosmic equilibrium. Our cosmic performance brought to life the beauty and complexity of the cosmos, reminding us of the wonders that lie beyond our own world.

On a poignant night in the dreamscape, we stood by shimmering rivers as a soft breeze stirred the air. The fragrance of blooming lilies surrounded us while fireflies danced in an enchanting swirl, their lights pulsing in sync with our heartbeats. I turned to Malakhai, my eyes reflecting the glow, and whispered, “The universe speaks in the light, symbolizing hope.”

In the night’s quiet, I listened to Malakhai’s heartfelt confession, my eyes shimmering with the glow of the ethereal rivers. A deep connection to him blossomed in my heart as he shared his lonely past and the love that had ignited his soul. Malakhai’s words resonated within me, stirring emotions that transcended the celestial realm. When he finished, a sacred pause enveloped us, echoing, signifying his revelation.

My voice, gentle as moonlight, praised Malakhai for his journey through time and space and his unwavering commitment to righteousness. His transformation from mortal to a beacon for angels was awe-inspiring, a testament to his pure spirit.

As I took his hand, I expressed my delight at awakening a long-dormant flame inside him. With reverence, I spoke of his saga, a miraculous ascent that echoed in the hearts of all angels.

Stepping closer, our hands connected—a touch as ancient as the stars. “To awaken something in you delights me,” I said.

Inspired, Malakhai said to me, “In your light, I’ve rediscovered a forgotten path. Together, we are the harmony of the cosmos.”

Our clasped hands symbolized unity and eternity as the moon saw our love blooming like a rose.

Deeply moved, Malakhai confessed his love to me, making me the recipient of his affection. This moment of pure love changed everything, with the dream rivers shimmering in reflection. But, I showed the burden of my destiny to unite all realms in peace, a sacred duty I embraced but feared would jeopardize our love when facing the assembly of gods and goddesses. My eyes glistened with unshed tears; I gazed into the horizon, apprehensive about our fate.
