The cell was cold and damp , smell of rotten flesh and dried blood lingered the air .
Elijah sat against the cold walls ,looking upwards ,at the ceiling of the cell
It was plain looking ,all black darkness surrounded the cell and the hallway out of it ,so he could see a little ,even his hihten sense could not help him with is vision.
He was hungry ,cold and tense.,he left Isla with this beautiful girl miranda but now as the time passed he is questioning his decision.
He didn't know what she is up to with his sister,its been hours after counting each seconds ,he lost count after 3 hours .
It must be night he thought ,after all it's been good hours he is waiting in the cell all by himself .
After the encounter with miranda ,the two soldiers ,covered his eyes and brought him to this filthy cell ,he couldn't breath in .
Miranda said council meet will be in an hour ,but Elijah has been waiting for hours , no body came .
Maybe the council was group of some bratty creatures, who didn't come on time Elijah thought and sickner to himself.
But now he wonders mabey he was telling the truth or the council or whatever it was,they were planning something bigger for him.
The idea of entering the dark world without even feeling and then surrounded by the supernatural creature, he has no idea was really unsettling for him.
He wonder how these supernatural creature not in ones attack him when he enter or this council felt his presence in there world after such a long time.
The wandering of his thoughts was stopped by shuffling he heard outside the door of his cell .
Then his door was opened by a men wearing all black uniform similar to Merlin and zen.
Elijah stands up and the men ties Elijah hands with handcuffs, pulling Elijah by his hands .
The men jerked him forward and starts moving ,some other men stand outside the dark cell and follows Elijah from behind and some in his front .
The men at the left of Elijah, sniff the air and a low growl erupt from his mouth .
The men on elijah right looked at the his other colleague with his blood red eyes and said "shut it aldram ,we are not allow to do it ."
Elijah wondered what is that they were not allowed to do .
Soon the were out of the darkness of the cold cells and through stairs they reached the main hallway of the castle.
The beauty of the castle was some thing can not be explained by the words .
The hallway ceiling was Really very tall it has beautiful black tiles with gold stones embedded in it ,and ther was a row of small chandeliers .
The hallway walls was lined by the photos of beautiful men and women in expensive dresses ,and ther were name tag beneath there picture .
Elijah walked slowly and followed the men who looked like soldiers but one of the picture caught his eye .
It was enormous picture fit in a big frame ,which was larger compared to others
The frame was beautiful with gold design all over it and beautiful gems and pearls embedded in it.
The most beautiful thing in the painting was the girl wearing white lacy white dress ,she was pale with beautiful blue eyes and white hairs flowing in soft waves till her waist .
In the picture she was sitting on a black and gold armchair while she was painting on a large canvas ,a painting of herself in the same exact position she was sitting ,she face towards the front smiling ,with her hand towards canvas .
Her smile was fantastic, it was dark yet magical .
Elijah was looking at her when he was harshly tucked forward .
He stumbled a bit and start walking forward, but his eyes were on painting until it became a spec in his vision and vanished.
Soon the reached the enormous door of the throne room ,Elijah could hear quite chattering from outside.
Many soldiers stand on either side of the door and two of them open the door at there arrival .
The quite chattering stopped and everyone's head snapped in the direction of Elijah , he could see small thrones lined on either side of a big large throne .
The large throne was placed on higher step while the other smaller ones were on on step lower.
All the small throne was filled by 5 beautiful womens and 6 handsome men .
A gold carpet with bits of fire goes to the main throne and made a pathway for it .
Elijah slowly walked forward with the the men who first opened his cell door .
Then he motioned Elijah to stop and the walks forward on the black and gold magical carpet and bows in front of all the what Elijah assumed to be the council. And says "consejo, it's my immense pleasure to stand in front of you all I am here to Introduce a men who trespass our world, his name is Elijah and there is a little girl with him too called Isla "
The men said still bows
One of the men sitting on smaller throne which Elijah recognize from hallway pictures said " Jacob, you may go ."he said and looked at Elijah with his bright violet eyes .and continued "I don't think you are human you don't smell like one ,then what are you ?."
He asked Elijah.
Elijah looked troubled and didn't say a word .he didn't know why he was asking if Elijah were human .
Elijah definitely knew he is a human and not someone else or anything like these creatures .
Again the violet eyed man spoke "you don't want to tell then don't because the queen will love to solve the mistry "
He said looking darkly at Elijah.
And then soon after they hear the door opening followed by an announcement of queen arrival.
