It's been a day since Logan traveled from the city to his hometown. It's of no doubt that Logan is no mundane.
Logan comes from a very powerful family lord zephire is the right hand man and friend to the king who is Zeriel's father.
His mother is Lady Raina who is the second most beautiful faerie in the dark Fae kingdom after the passing of Zeriel's mother. She has the most beautiful reddish golden hairs, and an emerald green eyes. Her figures perfectly sculpted with a pair of black shinning wings.
The family seated on a long dining table despite being a small family of four. Different delicacies were served. The maids' dresses were revealing and stylishly made.
The nobles ladies dressed as such the only difference is the glitter in their dark dresses. It seems like black was the only color they wore there. There was silence in the atmosphere as they ate from their plates, "Brother, tell me about the outside world" Logan's younger brother asked in excitement as he broke the silence. "Quiet! Zephan" their mother warned, giving him a cold stare. "Sorry mother" Zephan whispers as he immediately faces his food and begins to gobble it .
Zephan is a 16 year old teenager who's always eager to visit the human world. Logan had promised him that once he comes of age he would personally give him a tour.
Zephan had long curly pepper red hairs which were braided into two. His mother has loved combing and braiding his hair since he was a child.
"Come on bro let's go" Zephan said excitedly grabbing his brother's hand.. as his wings popped out "oops" he muttered. Logan laughed heartily,"you still act like a child", he pointed out to Zephan.
"I've always told you to". "Always Control your emotions" Zephan completed the sentence and they both laughed. "Let's go" Logan pops out his enormous wings and flaps as they soared out of the house, the force of the wings carrying lots of breeze. They both soared high in the sky as they approached a tall hill and lands.
They sat at the edge of the cliff and laughed. "I've missed racing with you bro" Zephan said panting heavily. "You're still the fastest "he said with a smile. "You call that fast? My skills are now rusty. I haven't flown in ages". "You don't use your wings in the human world?"
Zephan popped his eyes in Shock "Not even once in secret?" Zephan asked his brother. "No zeph" Logan replied as he fondly calls him.
"Humans have no slightest idea we exist, they only think we are legends or myths. We can't reveal our existence with them. They will feel threatened and find ways to eliminate us" Logan explained to him.
"We shouldn't be afraid of them, we have powers and we are stronger" replied Zephan in an enthusiastic tone. Logan chuckled, "Remember we have a weakness and if they discover that we are doomed.
"Hmm" Zephan sights "That means you walk all the time? your feet must be filled with sores" he queried. "I'm used to it, I have to blend in, it's highly forbidden to use our powers in the human realm" he said as he touched his brother's head. "Remember my hideout tree"? Zephan asked. "Of course " Logan replied smiling, "you always go there once you've quarreled with our parents. "Let's fly there" Zephan said as he flaps his wings and flys off while Logan follows him maintaining the same pace and speed.
As they flew across they looked at the water beds.
The land looked magical. The oceans were blue, the same as the sky. The flower beds and plants, the butterflies flew above the water fountains and a-mist the trees. The air was different. Logan took a deep breath as he landed on top of one of the highest trees, it was a tree house built during his childhood. Still looking the same. His thoughts ran through Zeriel's homesickness; he knew he missed home but couldn't come back. Logan visits home once in a blue moon but he imagined how Zeriel must have felt not coming back in close to eight years.
"That reminds me I have to visit the king" he muttered "Maybe you can go with father tomorrow " replied his brother who was seated in the wooden chairs. "Should we sleep here tonight?" he asked his elder brother in excitement only to have his hope crushed by his response. "No" he replied in a still voice "I have a lot of tasks to carry out upon my return and I shall be going back in a few days time." A crow flies into the tree house and lands on Logan's shoulder making some sounds. "I missed you too man" Logan replied to the crow as he could understand and speak to birds.
The crow speaks again and Zephan replies "fathers calls for us" Logan turns to his brother astonished "you can speak crows now?" he blurted out "Yes brother I can now understand the birds'' let's go home Logan said as they both flew out.

Logan is seated before his father as they were in a conversation. Lady Raina walks in to join them. "My lord, the crow sent a message" she whispered to her husband's ears. "Sit my lady" he gestured his hands towards her as she took his hands and sat beside him. "What does the message say?" He asked her in a low tone. "words flys fast" she rolls her eyes. The king demands your presence and he says you should come along with your son. she said then stands up to leave,"I have a lot of things to handle, make sure you see me son" his mother spoke softly her voice was as clear as the waterfalls "Yes mother" Logan replied "waste no time, we need to go see the king right away".
Lord Zephire said to his son as they stood up to leave the house and then flew out.
As they approached the palace gate they flew past some soldiers. The king sighted them from the balcony of his tower and gestured to them to come into the hall as he headed back to his throne. "Greetings my king " Logan said, kneeling with one leg crossing his hand over his chest as a sign of respect his father bowed and they both went to sit. At the center of the large hall five tall seats that looked like a mini throne were opposite each other. The king's throne stood higher above every other seat sited in the center of the hall. "How is my son?" the king asked Logan. "Sire, he is doing great in the human realm and has accomplished quite a lot" Logan replied. I know but that's not his destiny, he has to rule over this kingdom when I'm no more. I still haven't stopped searching for solutions to break his curse and restore his powers.
"Sire, I think Zeriel has the answers to this,I believe with time he'll solve it all. "What do you mean?" the king asked in a calm tone. "He's been having strange nightmares and visions about our kingdom's about what happened centuries ago. I think the answers lies there" "Guide him my son , help him if need be, tomorrow I'll summon seers " the king said. "You may excuse us, I have a confidential issue to discuss with your father" Logan bows again and excuses himself from the hall.
