Chapter Text
Rayla, Callum, and Azymondias had just gotten into Xadia. They were walking along until the group spotted Sol regem. "Oh no this is bad, quick callum hide," following Rayla's orders the group hid behind a stone coulomb nearby " Ok we should be fine as long as he doesn't see us." Rayla said in a worried tone. In the distance they could hear footsteps coming toward them Rayla peeked to see if the footsteps belonged to Sol regem. "Callum when I say run you get out of here." She said in a worried tone. "Why?" Callum said in a slightly frantic voice. "Star touch elf knights 6 of them, they are very dangerous the’ most have used their foresight ability to know we were going to be here." Rayla said frantically. When she finished telling Callum that all 6 star touch elves were surrounding them.
Before she could say anything strangely all 6 of the knights were bowing down, "prince Callum we have been ordered to escort you to your father, the star touch elf king Drake." One of the knights Said to Callum still bowing down. "You are lying I don't remember hearing anything about the star touch elves king having an heir you must be lying." Rayla said while slowly putting herself in front of Callum and Zym. "Your lying neither of my parents are elves so you must be lying like Rayla said." Callum said while preparing to cast a spell. "Please my prince you must believe us your father is our king Drake, now may we rise so we can give you the letter telling you we aren't lying." Another one of the knights said. While pulling a letter out of his leather satchel that was on his side. "You may rise." Callum told the 6 knights as they rose up. Each knight had their hands out to their side to show they had no weapons in their hand except the one with the letter he slowly held out the letter to Callum. The letter had a wax seal Callum had never seen, he broke the seal there were two pieces of paper one was an actual letter while the other was a spell full of wind magic spells.
The letter read.
Dear Callum I hope the guards didn't scare or you cute little wife, sorry friend I believe that is what you like to call her
I know it must be hard to find out your heir to the star touch elf throne. My ex-wife, your mother, was a half skywing elf and half human; this is why you are able to connect to the sky arcanum. The reason why you look human is because of the mark on your back. That was placed there by me. It was to make sure you could live as a human and so your mother could live with your aunt Amaya I put a spell on her as well. I'm sorry I can't tell you the rest but I'm currently trying to stop an all out war which might cost you the life of your brother and your aunt Amaya. This is why I need to stop the war. Each knight has a dragon with them, this is to ensure you make it in time. You and your "friend" will have to ride together. You will stop at a village to rest. It's a two day trip to meet the council of elders. Ps use spell number five when you're under the light of stars. The rest I would save for later, also ask one of the knights about how startouch elves show who their lovers are.
Sincerely your birth father Drake.
After reading this Callum's face was bright red, noticing this Rayla asked him "is anything wrong Callum." "Nothing it's nothing, um we can trust them." Callum said while trying to hide the note in his bag, as Rayla Callum and the 6 knights were walking on the path to the dragons that would take them to the council of elders to end the war callum whispered under his breath, "she isn't my wife at least not yet." As they got to the end of the path there were seven dragons waiting for them each of a nice crimson red. "Prince Callum these dragons are here to help us escort you and your companion to the council of elders." One of the knights stated. "Ok um how do startouch elves show who their lovers are?" Callum asked while Rayla was preparing to get on the dragon. Hearing this the knight looked over at Rayla then at Callum slowly letting a smirk grow on his face "My prince it's simple, leave a mark of love under their ear." The knight exclaimed to Callum with a smirk growing on his face "but I would do it in the privacy of my prince." "Ok," Callum said as a blush rose on his face as he looked over at Rayla. "All right my prince we need to go. Your father will want to see you and his new daughter in law." The knight said while smiling. "It's not like that, besides we've only known each other for three weeks." Callum said as his face turned bright crimson. "Take it from my experience it's obvious you two love each other, don't try to hide it or you might regret it." The knight said with a hint of sadness in his voice, "We should be going because we've taken too much time." "Ok," Callum said while walking to the dragon he and Rayla would be sharing. "It should be night time when we arrive at the village, now let's get going." The knight from earlier said while signing to Callum good luck. A few minutes later they were up into the air.
