The Dark Walls

It seem like hours that they were travelling, but Isla doesn't seem to mind it at all ,she slept in Elijah's lap her head on his shoulder, while to Elijah it seems that time is passing very slowly

he could literally see each tree in either side of the path ,he sat stiffly on the opposite side of the men while the other one is controlling the horse attached to the carriage.

"well I can see you don't want to introduce yourself, let me introduce myself, I am zen ." the men sitting opposite side of Elijah spoke ,cutting the thick silence, while looking curiously at Elijah.

"Elijah."Elijah replied quickly , if Elijah somehow made this man talk more freely ,he might tell about the plan or as to why Elijah is been taken to this castle and called as poorly human the way these two men mention him like he is some filthy creature , a human

"I think you want to know about things as to why we are taking you right. "zen said with a smirk plastered on his face, while he sat with his legs crossed ,looking at Elijah who had a bewildered look on his face .

"can you hear my thoughts ?"Elijah asked ,dumbly he didn't even recognize his voice and he even was surprised as to why he act in such a way in front of this men ,and if zen can hear his thoughts there has to be some way to keep his thoughts safe ,right?

"No I can't ,it a meagre assumption, what do you think a person like you in such a situation will think like that only ,and I have experienced it before. "zen said the last word darkly, waiting for a reaction from Elijah.

but he should know better ,that nothing like this can scare Elijah.

"and whatever the reason is that is keeping us away from reading your mind will be taken care by the council or the queen."

Elijah scoffed and was about to come up with a snarky comment when the other men from front of the carriage called that they have reached to there destination .

zen quickly hurried Elijah and Isla out the carriage and both men start dragging Elijah towards the castle with Isla in his arms .

Elijah was astonished to see the magnificent castle in front of him ,words could not describe and the way the sky looked ,mixture of orange black and purple shocked him ,the sky is beautiful he had never seen such a thing in his whole life ,and the castle ,there were no words

it stand tall and strong on the hill which was surrounded by special dark and mysterious beautiful trees ,the castle looked absolutely beautiful with its black stoned bricks and the gold which embedded in the windows and doors

beautiful golden and orange blinking lines run along the walls of the castle but it was not the thing which stood out to him the most ,it was the darkness that allured the castle which gave him power ,and the red velvet curtain which was drawn out by the sapphire blue eyes.

zen and the other men pulled Elijah with them ,the moment they reached near castle entrance doors he knew that he was no more on the land he once lived ,there were large number of soldiers guarding the castles entrance and there were dark shadows which fly across the entrance making isla shuffle a bit in his arms but she didn't wake up ,and Elijah is relieved to see she didn't wake up because if she did ,Elijah don't know what her reaction might be.

there were some shuffling and zen and the other men whose name was Merlin pulled Elijah towards the entrance ,some soldiers look at Elijah with curiosity while the others looked with disgust while he passed them .

they were walking on the stone pathway which was beautifully embedded with small precious stones.

Elijah clutched the child tightly while he kept his head high after all he is the prince and the prince does not show weakness

the castle neared ,till the time they reached the castle, multiple people has talked to zen and Merlin about Elijah, they very well knew that Elijah is standing there ,just to show there disgust some of them looked at him with there piercing red eyes .

but the eyes that capture his heart were the sapphire ones of the beautiful girl in white dress who was standing under the big chandelier waiting for her new visitors ....
