Silver. Susie Harris
in my human life. Just being near it seems to wash over my whole being whether it is spiritual or physical it creates a pause of all anxiety.
I walked to the Klein Falls it is the largest waterfall in Europe and stood on the rocks near Laufen Castle. Standing high above the waterfalls I could feel and hear the roar and vibrations of the watercourse through my ethereal body. Water of this magnitude creates such a strong emotional reaction even to the likes of my kind. It is a spot where we all visit frequently. But I knew I was safe from prying eyes as I was still wearing the Elven cloak. I sat and soaked in the grandeur of the moment.
It was several hours before I flitted back to my human self. But my connection had not been broken so I knew all was fine.
To cross into the undying lands of Valinor in my true form is not difficult. In my years I have spoken the words of entry probably over a trillion times. I used to love training with the elves. They are amazingly skilled fighters even without magic. There are not many enemies they couldn't take down.
But it was their craftsmanship that fascinated me the most. I could watch their blacksmiths create swords for hours. There is nothing more beautiful than an Elven sword. Arwen gave me one; it must be a millennium ago. I took it back to Nibiru and keep it in a jeweled case in my armory. I never wanted to use it because of its beauty. But it is a formidable weapon, so sharp it can cut through diamonds. They use special metals from the fae realm and work the metal at temperatures that far exceed anything humans could work with. Their craftsmen encrust jewels into intricate patterns through the handles and quotes that appear under certain conditions glowing through the sword. Each one is truly a work of art.
Valinor is not just home to the elves; the wizards of the fae also live there when they are not on a quest that is. They seem to be always old and extremely intelligent. They love philosophy and always talk in riddles. It may not even sound like a riddle it could be a poem or a story. But it will never be direct. Sometimes it would take even our kind weeks to decipher the meaning. Raziel loved having long conversations with them. He would then spend weeks writing down and deciphering each conversation. We called Raziel our wizard but he said after spending time with them he could barely be classed as an apprentice in comparison to their knowledge.
Now that I have the cloak I have to make the trip to Valinor. I am extremely nervous about cutting my ties from my human self. But if I don’t someone could follow the silver cord and I would be found.
After much thought and considerable hours of worrying, I have decided to encapsulate some of my entity in my human self. Hopefully when I sever the ties to enter Valinor that will be enough to bring me back to myself. I have also placed wards on myself, and my family that are living with me. This would definitely deter if not stop any attack if someone happened to work out who I was. I have no reason to believe anyone has but it does concern me.
I am going to go in the night of this life, as at least my human self should be safe asleep. I do not know what the light schedules of Valinor are now as they change with their seasons and to be honest I never really took notice. Time is something you as humans live by; we don't really concern ourselves with this. We can see quite well in the dark and if we are inclined we can light our path easily enough. Of course this time I won't be able to do that as I am trying not to be seen.
I flitted to the entry tree that Arwen had shown me years ago. It is a very old gate that came out in the dark forest of Valinor. He told me it was not known by many and rarely used at the time. I hope that is still the case.
I broke the tie with my human self-anchoring it in a cave that Arwen and I had explored not too far from the tree. Just in case there is trouble. I am hoping there isn't. After all I have the cloak and have prepared as much as possible.
I entered the forest through the tree there was spider webs and dust everywhere, so that was a good sign that no one had been there recently. It was twilight but still light enough to see where I was going. Which was another good thing. I got to the edge of the forest. From there I could see the mountain I needed to ascend to, to get to the cave.
I could also see the capital of Valinor. It truly is a beautiful city with a cascading waterfall falling from the castle surrounded by the city. Stunning!
But this view was not what made me catch my breath. It was the view of legions of elves in battle training format in the fields directly in front of me. This was the largest formation of elf legions I had ever seen. Their armor and swords were glistening even in the twilight and the silver manes of their horses twinkled against the darkness.
I took a long slow deep breath to center my mind and pulled the cloak a little tighter around myself. I travelled for as far as I could along the forest edge. Leaving only a short 100 meters or so to cross in the open to the edge of the mountain. I crossed this as quickly as possible making sure the cloak did not flap or open in anyway.
The cliff to the cave cannot be climbed so I had to elevate myself using my power. I scanned the legions they were facing the capital away from me but I knew there generals would not be. I had to risk it. I pulled on my power and flew to the cave in what felt like a millisecond. My powers truly had grown, without a second thought I entered the cave and located my book. I slipped it carefully into my inside jacket pocket.
But as I went to leave the mouth of the cave I saw a small legion coming directly toward the mountain. They were in full search formation. I had seen it before.
They had obviously seen me somehow but they weren't sure what I was...they were on full alert. I had to throw them off somehow.
I created a powerball in a flowing shape and sent it along the edge of the forest from the canyon to the right of me. They all turned to follow the power. Then I realized I had sent it to the tree exit. Stupid mistake. I would have to use a different gateway to return to the human world.
I made my own way to the start of the river I knew there was a gateway behind the falls there. I just hoped it was clear of traffic. It was darker now so I had that advantage. The other legions seemed to be heading in for the nightly feast.
I made it to the gateway and only had to pass two elves on the way. I knew them both which meant I could tell they had not felt me pass. Unfortunately this exit took me to St Nextan's Glen, near Cornwall in England. It is such a beautiful place full of fae energy. People who visit always come away saying how wonderful the energy of the place is. It's that strong that they don't mention the beauty of the falls and caves except as an afterthought. The fae are known to frequent this area. I knew I would have to be careful to leave no trail when I flitted back to Llangernyw in Wales, which is where the first tree entry was I had to collect the connection to my human self. But I didn't know if the elf legion would still be there.
The gate was closing as I arrived. I scanned to make sure all had gone and no scout was left behind. There was no one, which was strange in itself. They didn't know what the energy was and are always curious. So why weren't they investigating.
Then I looked up and realized the tree had grown to an enormous height. The leaves had silver veins running through them. It was now as tall as the Empire State Building and twice as wide.
I realized the tree had sucked up the energy ball I had created. My power is way beyond anything I imagined. All gates are fed on energy. It had just eaten it all and consequently grown into a now very magical looking giant tree. This could be why the legion left so quickly such a display of power would concern them and though they are powerful they were only one fairly small legion.
I had to fix this otherwise it would be world headlines tomorrow. Unfortunately the magic had mixed with the fae tree and the only way I would be able to drain my energy out of it would be to kill it and pull it out of it. I hate killing anything so this was hard for me. I went to get my connection to my human self. Hoping it had not been found by the legion.
Thankfully it was not found by the legion. They must have been in a hurry to leave. Once I reconnected with my human entity I felt better; my human self was still sleeping that was a relief at least.
I went back to the tree and killed it draining my energy and the fae energy back into myself. The gateway would be broken and the elves would have another thing for them to worry about.
