' Undoubtedly, we are meeting another powerhouse'
Approaching the very center of the top, accompanied by Zephyr with three active spells placed on us.
Zooming in for a few meters, we finally approached the said center, the top of the tree particularly wasn't tough to navigate through as it appeared somewhat flat however the center had leaves coming together to form a small round wall and within this thick wide wall made from leaves, a brilliant golden light escaped attracting our attention towards it.
Zephyr slowly went downwards until her feet were close to the flat surface beneath and faced the wall. Immediately, she bowed her head a bit and appeared to let out some words which were inaudible to us considering the distance and the fairy's tiny voice. The wall of leaves in fact resembles a giant insect cocoon and was slightly taller than I was and larger as well.
Seeing the creature that had received nothing but absolute respect and admiration bow that before this being before us kinda made me a lot more anxious and piqued my curiosity.
'Just what's he doing' I thought looking downwards curiously at the unreal imagery before me quietly hovering above with my friends and me glowing in red-orange light.
Zephyr suddenly stopped speaking and drew back a bit still with her head bent. Immediately, I fortified my mind once more at least I believed I did and in this scenario, I'm sure beliefs and confidence will come a long way.
The leaf cocoon slowly descended with the down part sluggishly retracting back to the leaves surface beneath us and then the Fairy King that awaited us came into view.
I couldn't speak, I think it's more descriptive to say that my mind went blank at that moment. Blinking wasn't even an option as I stared in awe of this sacred being. It felt like time stopped and nothing existed except this being, the thought of fear, presence of my comrades, and awareness of my being all dissipated as looked without making any particular movement.
" Zephyr dear"
" My King!" She responded
" I believe you made it so that's possible to communicate with them"
" Yes My King"
" Too bad they aren't from this continent as I would have loved to show them my linguistic skills"
" I had to rely on you again," he said and went for a pat on her head while she simply just retained her smile and blushes.
" My Siblings! I'm the Fairy King and I'm delighted to be your host" he thought up and looked at us from below. Miss Zephyr had connected us since her speech.
'Siblings? Did I get that right? What does he mean?' I snapped out of what seemed to be a state of trance and these thoughts came flowing into my mind. My Mind became itself again, not knowing what to do, I looked at the others at my side and they all seemed confused just like I was.
Zephyr stirred the gust of winds and brought us down to the tree surface right in front of the Fairy King while she simply stayed at his side.
The creature the fairies referred to as their king, appearance was more than what I imagined. He had long straight golden hair that seemed to be imbued in light just like the rest of his body, the Iris part of his eyes was discolored with the right one being shiny green and the left one golden.
His fair skin in particular was no different from the other Fairies except that it had a brighter glow. His top half was left bare with his lower half covered by some green material just like the one I spotted on the others and Zephyr made into tiny trousers, his however, was embroidered with an adorning golden material in a particular pattern all around his outfit, his feat was bare as well.
Probably respect and power were included but I can see why Zephyr blushes when any reference was made about him seeing that he had an extremely beautiful and brilliant face that seemed to draw us in.
Just like I guess earlier, he was taller and larger than both Zephyr and the other fairies in fact he was almost as tall as an average kid around 6- 8 years with a height spanning around four feet however he was slim spanning less than a foot. His Wings were far more beautiful than Zephyr's transparent golden wings as his contained different multitudinous colors in a particular pattern with a bit of black separating each and giving it a glossy crystal look.
Despite the effect of the flamy spell that surrounded us, I felt warmer as I got close to him, I was sure others felt this way as well.
" I bear the name Oberi and y'all shall call me Fairy King Oberi!" he said with a small smile on his face.
