”Laotheri ...!"
"Elhundi Merald!”
The dance troupe exclaimed, accompanying the guests to the courtyard.
Elhundi Merald's. A name for a handsome young man. So riveting. The Junggali. The Prince of Flowers Laotheri.
Elhundi Merald with Queen Shachini, two happy faces, a brilliant look full of smiles, stunning all the residents of Gunggali at that time.
”Prince Laotheri!”
A number of palace servants, chanting his name. Very rarely does she appear except at certain and special times because she is a flower fairy who almost all her life lives in the lower well of the palace cavity and lives in one Laotheri of hundreds the buds are blooming.
”Khameswari. Happiness robe!” merald's delicate voice melodious as he handed over something he carried. Queen Shachini immediately welcomed the special robe.
”This knitted Khameswari will protect you from sorrow. Your days will always be bright without fret and sorrow!” queen Shachini exclaimed as she stretched out Khameswari's robe and put it on Taja's body.
Taja was very happy. Not until he understood the coronation that was going on for him, a Cloak of Happiness had been worn. After that, happiness very quickly flowed to every breath.
”Life with me..,” whispered Queen Shachini to near Taja's ear.
”Magic! Very magical!” unknowingly Taja was amazed at the happiness of Khameswari who had been knitted by the fairies for a dozen years without knowing in advance who it was made for. That's the legend, very popular. And it turns out, now that robe belongs to Taja.
”Blessed, Elhundi Taja! We also gave a nickname to you, as Elhundi Rahl Yan Humbyn!” queen Shachini's sentence called out loudly during the mention of a long title for Taja. Once again a great boisterous welcome.
Taja gasped to hear the title crowned for him. At once most of the fairies were shocked to hear that as well. Taja had been living on the banks of the river, now an Elhundi. All amazed in one direction, Taja was with Queen Shachini.
Taja with a sparkling green Khameswari fashion, looks very different. Taja became Prince of Gunggali. In an overnight, his fate changed instantly.
The chants and whistles of the inhabitants of Gunggali, ceaselessly flattering Taja and Queen Shachini who tread down, splitting the crowd of fairies.
”This is unfair! Very unfair!”
The crowd instantly receded after a loudest shout rattled. A resident of Sorra's kind rallied and stepped fast, split the line and then confronted Taja and Queen Shachini.
”An unfair attitude was done by a Queen of Gunggali!” Excited again.
The atmosphere changed quietly for a moment. All eyes were on the two uninvited guests. Queen Shachini welcomes Sorra and Dakka.
”Sorra! Dakka!” Queen Shachini called it.
Dakka became tense, aware of the sudden silence because of his own actions. Now, Queen Shachini had stood before her in a cold gaze. Some of the guardian elves immediately moved, but Queen Shachini first signaled for them to retreat.
”Not fair? You call me unfair?” queen Shachini's gaze became a sadistic and painful glance.
Dakka gasped in just a few breaths at the same time the look of Queen Shachini's eyes focused on her. Then he collapsed and his body was as hollow as without bones.
”This is unfair, because she is not entirely a fairy. He, a descendant of the Jawata People, does not deserve to live in the Euryn Palace, let alone with the title Elhundi!” faltering in pain, Dakka hissed.
Queen Shachini glanced at all the guests, her people watching the coronation.
”Who else would say that to me?!”
None of them answered. Even outside the court, a creature as big as Changgala who was present only pegged on the spot. Except one female elf was crammed from the rearmost crowd and headed towards the queen.
”Ampuni my son, the Queen.” a woman kneeling near Dakka curled up. He banged his forehead against the ground many times, after which he raised his long-haired head and decorated with crystal stones. His root fingers chattered as he touched the ground from trembling.
”My son is too young to understand this. Servant will take him home and punish him,” said the woman with one more prostration ended. More than that, for a moment his body until united with the surface of the ground.
”No!!”
Dakka defected from the woman's arm which was none other than Shammure, her mother.
Not yet after Queen Shachini wrath, Dakka dared to rise.
”Dia, Journalists!” Dakka pointed straight at Taja behind Queen Shachini.
Queen Shachini stared coldly at Dakka, ”Changgala, take Dakka to Calpera. Brackets him there until he realizes his mistake!”
Shammure jerks.
”I beg, The Queen does not punish my son there!” the door was comforting but could not help Dakka anymore. As fast as the shadow, the roots of Changgala paved the ground until it broke, then pulled Dakka out of the palace. He had no power against the giant creature as it wrapped around his body.
Taja could only feel pity seeing Shammure wailing like that before leaving the palace and screaming Dakka's name.
The mood was silent again.
”Does anyone else, mind if my Jawata ‘ child becomes an Elhundi?!” The queen asked once more to everyone present. Quiet and sincere in response.
”I never saw him as a descendant of the Jew. I always looked at him as a resident of Gunggali!” Said the Queen in a firm tone. Look thoroughly at all the fairies watching.
"Steel my son!" queen Shachini.
”Hamba accepted it as Elhundi,” a voice not welcomed, coming from the corner of the palace. It seems that he had also been united with the land for a long time.
All turned towards the elf making a sound.
”Eldress?” The queen named the fairy the same type as Taja.
”One wish only, I want Dakka to also be able to accept the coronation of Taja as Elhundi. Let the servant accompany him as long as he is punished in Calpera,” Elkas prostrate once before looking up at his face to Queen Shachini.
The queen was momentarily silent. Finally Taja was moved to Elkas request.
”I beg, The Queen complies with my brother's request,” pinta Taja while bowing his head.
”Alright, your request granted!” Queen Shachini answered Elkas' plea for Taja.
”Thank you, happy Queen,” praise Elkas before rising up and inching from the court, leaving small traces before darting lightly outside the palace. The shadow disappeared after being far behind the forest tree grove.
All eyes return to Taja and Queen Shachini in the middle of the courtyard.
”Happy for Elhundi Taja!” exclaimed the Queen while stretching her hands to the head of Taja. In the blink of an eye, a blue glint appeared and instantly formed a thin, clear crown. Greeted boisterously and whistled all the fairies, the twilight party began.
Guests were shaken, accompanied by trumpets echoing in a wiggling tone throughout Gunggali. Welcoming the darkness of twilight in the wind rustling stronger from the outside around the border. Unheard and hardly felt by anyone who was busy partying, except for a figure in the middle of the Calpera that was arid and dark. He was alone in anger and pain.
A half slitting heavy hiss, coming from a fairy figure half buried in hard soil and entangled by thousands of powerful roots. His feeble body was completely unable to wriggle, he could only groan in pain without anyone hearing him.
Until the pitch of night enveloped Calpera without a single glimmer of flower light. One direction came from the middle of the forest, there was the rustling sound of small steps half leaping onto the surface of an arid land the size of a dark Calpera. No one welcomed his arrival emerging from the dry bushes. It stopped right in front of Changgala wriggling as high as the tops of trees. His breath spread everywhere until the dust scattered.
”Dakka!”
Furious Changgala, clumping solidly without removing Dakka under the feet of his roots, stuck firmly. Elkas next to Dakka, can't do anything. Changgala clumped up a large height and puffed up the body before him.
Changgala kissed Eve Elkas, ”This brother of yours.. dissident!” While loosening his roots and taking off the hostages, Dakka released a limp droop.
”Bring her up and keep her well behaved!” Changgala snorted loudly. After that, he got into the ground.
Elkas turned on Dakka looking very exhausted. Her hair stood stiff, disheveled and all over her body was covered in wounds.
”Dakka ...,” Elkas gently touches Dakka's hands full of roots sticking out.
”Go, Elkas!” The rest of Dakka's energy was hard enough to dismiss him.
”Nobody cares about me anymore!”
”I care ...,” Elkas ducked down to Dakka who was still drooping on the ground.
”Go!” dakka bursts make Elkas inching backwards.
”We brothers ...,” tone of voice Elkas softly reply.
”You're just like him, the Jew's Son!” Dakka tried to get up. Too angry to the point that his facial water is reddish and all the muscles start forehead up the neck as if it is about to break.
”He is very inappropriate to be in Gunggali, let alone to be Elhundi!” Dakka. Some of his energy had returned in that fast time.
”It's the will of the Queen if it should happen so!” Elkas said once again but replied with a hand to his face.
”All defend him, all look at him. But not against me!” Dakka crept fast and away from Elkas who fell down because of it.
”Dakka! Don't go!” elkas shouted towards the last time Dakka's shadow was seen by him. Very quickly, Dakka's figure disappeared in the darkness of Calpera.
