The Long road for love and life book one

I promptly returned the salute, "I was also hopeing that their might be some way that I may be able to help Kack-tar sir". He glanced at me again before speaking "well we have the outer promoter so you could look after the center, as we are here to protect builder cast as well as you".

I did not respond back as I felt really stupid for wasting his time, I did how ever give Kack-tar a node then I promptly turned around and proceeded towards the construction area, as I walked back through bushes and some trees which blocked my view, I could not stop thinking about the what ifs questions such as, what if Lura was still alive would I, could I still be so eager to see a new land? Ovbelesly I would've tried to get her to follow me or I would of had to set up a connection spell, which if my research into magic was correct, it would be essayer to find a willing dragon to help but it wouldn't be much help unless you can control the dragon fire spell, which only the strongest and most strictest and dedicated spell casters could manages as for an example, you could potentially send a love letter to someone or something and be in for one ell of a shock, its weird I can use teleportation which is dangerous if you do not know the area as you could end up inside a rock, the only reason why I had managed such a dangerous spell was because I am a changeling, and this is my homeland.

As I continued towards the construction area going through the dense wood, I continued with my mind racing with thoughts and ideas until a tree branch hit me in the back of my head, which was a blessing. I was snapped back to my sense to a view that took my breath away, in the few minutes that I was away, building cast had built the boat from the ground up to the hull, all that was needed was a canopy for shelter and some boards to walk on as well as for stability and it would be completed.

I saw a building cast about five of them dragging a few trees in their magic (a few trees being about five each), which when they were placed in a area covered in sawdust and bits of twigs and leaves on the ground, as soon as the trees were in the area the building cast started to trim and shape the trees into the needed shapes and pieces needed for the boat, I watched in amassment as they skillfully fellayed the tree and transformed each part individually and at speed.

I proceeded towards the outer edge of the work area, and since I had no jobs to do I felt bored, I noticed a little grassy hill overlooking the work area and the beach which I guess would be the last place I will sit, on dry land for quite a long time, I proceeded to the top of hill which turned out to have a share drop on the other side of it so I guess I could call it a cliff but whatever.

when I reached the flat top which was farther than it looked, I looked around from the west I could only see the expanse of water with it deceptively calm looking state, to the east was the entrance to the hive (if I did not know where it was it would be very hard to see it, as it blends perfectly into the surrounding area), and to the south is where I met Kack-tar which was obscured by the woods which seemed to be spread in all directions with a few patches of clearings every so often, but it was the stares that captivated my attention, each seemed to twinkle to one another as if they were singing or talking to one another, I wondered if their was, well if something was thinking the exact same thing but from the other direction, looking in my direction and wondering if they were alone or if they would ever find love at all, I knew why I thought this as I was asking the same.

what with finally being accepted by the one I had a crush on only to loss her the very same day. As I thought this I gave out a sigh as my heart breaks at her memory, how she laugh, how she worked harder than most, then my brain piped in with the fact that I hardly knew her as well as I know myself, but I would of I said to myself, if it was not for the diamond dogs attacking, that's when my brain continued with, wake up and smell the coffee root she only notest you after you saw Luna in your dream, and even she might not be real.

I shooked my head to get rid of this thought which stuck in me like a knife, along with a bit of fear of it being right as I did only hear and see her in my dreams what if, the thought stopped as my heart seemed to of slapped my mind as I remembered Luna and how we had interacted, and how we seemed to know one another but since she can enter dreams, I suppose that's how she would know of me but as for myself maybe where she come from its normal to be that way?

oh! I thought, why am I panicking and thinking like this for, as a voice pulled me from my thoughts. "Hay there sexy flank" my blood froze as I knew that voice, it was shera mothers attendant, I turned to face her "I just wanted to say that I am sorry for using my pheromones on you but I did not want you to feel any pain for you're let's say growth spurt" she allowed herself a giggle before she let out a sigh and then she continued "you know you are cute, I can see why Laura had such a hard time trying to tell you how she felt," her eyes started to water up with tiers. oh here we go again i thought then almost immediately I scareled myself for thinking like that, then I processed what she had said, " you knew Lura?" I asked stupidity, she give me a node "of course I did know her especially during our conversation about you and how she found out that you had a crush on her, I think she was scared incase you just wanted....well sex and love as food." My jaw hit the ground (well my moth did fall open but its an expression).

"But I, I, I, never wanted that!! I just really liked her and I wanted to know her better as she made me feel special, but then she said that she was not interest in me and then out of nowhere she asked me if I still felt the same way....and I did and..." I had to stop as my heart felt like something just plunged a sharp shard of ice into it, the pain took me off guard and that's when it happened, me a proud member of my hive, apparently one of the strongest and gifted spellcasters on top of a cliff which looked more like a hill, and I just wept with tears streaming down my face, my soul on show for all to see, my pain and anguish spilling out of me like a dame exploding, I don't know how long that lasted but the relief I felt afterwards was and still is indescribable but in a good way.

When I came to Shera had her hooves around me in an embrace, I looked into her eyes as she said, "I know you loved her and have been bottling up your emotions, but if you're going to represent the hive you will need to learn sometimes you just need to stop and let it out," she give me a kiss next to my horn before continuing "I know I seem just to say this so far but I am sorry for pushing your buttons, but you need that, you have to remember to trust in your emotions as they are part of your personality, and that's what Lura liked about you Paul, in fact from what i have hured you have been turning heads of quiet a few mares and some stallions too."

Now same sex couples are not a new thing but personally speaking I have never looked at another stallions in that way, I gave Shera a chuckle then I gave her a kiss of my own on her cheek "Thank you Shera I needed to hear that, Shera are you alright?" Sheras normally dark chichen started to turn red and her wings began to rise "oh! My... I, I better go before I do something that I want to!"

She immediately flew off towards the entrance to the hive, what was that about I thought until it dawned on me, honestly I can do practically any spell and I can fight but when it comes to mares I am clueless or maybe I should pay more attention, either way I just broke into laughter, I don't know if it was from what happened to Shera or the way it had happened or contemplation of having no clue, but it did feel good to laugh and feel happy.

After getting back my composer I proceeded back towards the building site, as I came back, I could see glimpse of the boat through the spaces in the trees and their leaves, when I was in the clearing I saw the ship was indeed completed and sitting on a raised platform with a line of logs heading towards the sea, each log was cut with a grove which held little round spears of wood most likely sitting apon building casts secretions probably mixed with their sliver so the air would not make it solidifie.

But one thing disturbed me, and that was the silence even the night time chorus of the animals and the insects had stopped, the air felt like it was electrified, something was very wrong and I proceeded towards the hive's entrance at speed, I galloped with the forosatiy of someone being chased by a manticore in mating season, I was nearly at the entrances when I saw the onclave were in a fight with griffins, now most griffins do not use magic but it is not unheard of but apart from being nimble in the air it's their talons you need to watch out for.
