This felt so real.
This felt so-
but it wasn't.
It was a fantasy in her mind.
The fantasy of the museum.
The fantasy of the creatures in glass cages.
The fantasy of the mysterious people she was with-
" That is called a Eylyses" (pronounced: You-Liss-ees) he said.
Who was this man?
His face was barely seen. He was blurred.
But that didn't matter.
The identity of "this man" didn't matter.
Looking through the small glass cage, she put her hand on the smooth glass.
"She's beautiful."
Yes. The Eylyses was a she.
Also yes, she was beautiful, but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Others walking by might have thought the creature was disgusting, ugly, or even a disgrace.
Inside the cage was a small biome with bushes, water and other things it might need.
There was also other creatures in glass cages around the Eylyses. There was an elder female Eylyses and another female Eylyses but this one looked like a toddler. The creature was shorter than all the others and put its hands against the glass. It wanted to escape. It pleaded to leave with it's body. It followed the humans with its eyes when they walked down the isle along all the cages.
In the entire museum, there was not one male Eylyses.
Did male Eylyses not exsist?
Or were there just no male Eylyses in this museum?
Or maybe I was mistaken.
Maybe, what seems like to be females were male.
So many questions.
The creature that was described as "beautiful" was a Eylyses with straight long silky black hair that reached all the way to its thighs. (Maybe a bit above there.)
What was assumed to be a "she" had extremely pale skin, almost paper-white.
"She" had a pair of what is assumed to be
two large black flowers firmly attached to the back of its head..The flowers were most similar to Carnations.
Extending from each 'Carnation' was a ringed, huge, white horn that once grown, started to make a big circle behind the body of the Eylyses. The horns do not touch when trying to form a large circle, but they get close.
The horns are thick and large for the creature. Both of the horns reach close to the ankles of the speciman and are rounded at the tips.
Eylyses look like humans, except the fact that a full-grown adult female Eylyse is about four inches in height. The height of adult male Eylyses are unknown, but can be guessed at about four-point-five inches or five inches in height. The other fact that makes them different from humans, is their incredibly pale skin and their large horns that are slightly shorter than the Eylyses height.
"I wanna pick her up, and take her out of her cage."
