Tolesio wanted to carry out the assignment alone arranging surveillance of Erin, but his cousins Keleiro and Imarinis caught him in a flight doing this and made claims:
"Why are you spying on him?"
"Ah, nothing can be hidden from you, big-eyed ones! - Tolesio flared up with annoyance. - Erin flies to one girl, but she is pregnant by Lariel. I need to know what's going on between them."
"It is forbidden by the Archon to have relations with women!" - Keleiro noticed.
"It seems to be excusable for his son, - Tolesio said irritably. - I don't like it either…but the baby… isn't it great?"
"And where is she?" - asked Imarinis.
"In the forest, where else!"
"Let's go then, let's see!" - Keleiro was excited.
The spies crouched behind the wide branches of huge coniferous trees, watching Erin interact with the petite girl on his lap.
"How small she is! - Keleiro commented. - Erin is twice her size. She doesn't seem to be afraid of him at all."
"But she's cute! - whispered Imarinis. - I wish I had such a wife!"
"Hey, babe, what's in your head?" - Keleiro grabbed him by the neck and pressed him. - What kind of wife? You are like a wife! Mine! Nothing to sigh about mortal women!"
"You're idiot! I want kids too!"
"Shut up, both of you! - Tolesio hissed at them. - Erin will find us out and send us to serve to Kentau with these brutal warriors. I do not want to serve them and then die under fire."
"He won't do that to us. We are his family, beloved cousins…" - Imarinis murmured.
"Family, you said? - grumbled Tolesio. - Remember what he did to my precious Lary. The poor thing was barely alive after the raid."
Darien quickly approached his son with a stomp along the corridor of the echoing enfilade shaking his arms.
"Erin, wherever you are, you always disappear somewhere, - his voice boomed. - We have skirmishes with these monsters everywhere, it's a pity I can't punish you for your self-will. You are our main weapon and no one can find you. They say you're having an affair with a mortal? You know how I don't like it. We are dying here, and he is twisting love somewhere."
Erin blinked his eyes guiltily: his mighty, menacing father hung over him like a mountain.
"I don't… There is no romance," - he retorted.
"Well, yes! - dad pressed, - Lary whines all the time, complains about you that you are courting his girl taking advantage of his injury he is terribly angry with you. Oh, figure it out yourself…quickly!" - Darien moved away to the side.
An angry brother stood in front of Erin and glared at him:
"Erin! Stop going to my woman, - Lariel's eyes sparkled with fire. — Do not deny it, I know that you fly to her almost every day. She pregnant with my child! What is your relationship with this? She is mine!"
"I just made sure she was okay. She's terrified of the pregnancy and needs to be taken care of," - Erin justified.
"You're lying, you're trying to get her attention!"
"Listen, she doesn't even want to see you, it's better to forget about her. Yes, what can you give her now? You are a cripple and cannot compete with me."
"You have no right to her and my son! - shouted Lariel. - I found her and should be with her, not you."
"But you tricked her and planted your crystal in her body without asking!" - Erin shouted, turned away, clenching his fists, and blurted out to father:
"We've got it all figured out! Let's hurry!"
They spread their wings and flew away, leaving a sobbing Lariel fell to the cold white floor.
"Oh, Kami, my love! How to see you?" - he screamed in despair wringing his arms.
In three months Kamily became so attached to Erin that she managed to get bored a lot while he was not around. Insanely handsome and gallant, he surrounded her with such attention and care that an ordinary gray life turned into an endless holiday.
He treated her to never-before-seen fruits, brought garlands of fragrant flowers, arranged in the evenings spectacular waterfalls of multi-colored sparkling balls and round dances of flying petals. She like a small child circled with laughter among the fabulous extravaganza created only for her.
She especially liked to fly in his strong arms and look down on the forest vastness.
"How wonderful it is! I'm flying! " - the girl shouted in delight as they swooped down from a great height.
To Kamily's surprise, this syrinx did not at all try to persuade her to intimacy, limiting herself only to hugs, thus emphasizing her friendly attitude and respect and she herself did not strive for something more, content with brotherly relations. He stared at her for a long with sparkling eyes with adoration and tenderness, carefully squeezing her in his arms while emitting barely audible moans of pleasure, which did not at all alert the girl who was confident in his decency. She was quite satisfied with their warm communication, which did not oblige to anything else.
She was fascinated by Erin. The pearly glow of his skin, his eyes sparkling with a lilac flame, his hair and feathers shimmering with a blue metallic sheen - all this creates a fantastic image of an unreal creature that she wanted to endlessly touch. She realized that she had fallen in love with this strong warrior and trembled with delight that he was courting her so beautifully. Alone, she often dreamed that someday they would all live together in the heavenly Azaren and she would suddenly grow wings.
