Calla Lily, The Eunuch King's Goblin Bride

It was exciting to be in an unknown place but at the same time my heart was beating fast due to some fears regarding that town.

Walking upto the cliff I came across fields of different colours. It was like a rainbow was stretched on the floor of earth.

"What strange patterns are these ?"

There were many flowers, roses, hyacinth, crysanthemum, daffodils and many more I couldn't remember the names. I stretched hand out and my pores touched the buds, a sweet sensation shivered in my spine. Relaxing my body It felt something unsual but sweet.

"It's so.....unusually sweet."

I plopped down on the grassy field and breathe in the fragrant air, my milky legs touching the grass tips from my green dress. Every vein and cell in my body bloomed with that magical spell.

It was getting late I wanted to stay there for more time, It was something different from my place.

Striding upto the cliff more I saw strange fruits cultivated in line.

"Looks like everything here is carved on perfection by men."

The carpet of those strange fields was laid as far as my eyes could see.

My stomach growled loudly, I became hungry due to this exercise of walking.

"Let's try this one. I think it would be sweeter ."

Plucking a red round juicy fruit I took a bite carefully.

(Nom Nom) "It's bitter.....no it's sweet.....no wait it's amalgamation. Ow it's just perfect taste."

Unconsciously I licked my fingers and closed my eyes. The wonderful taste wet my buds and tongue.

"I soud det doin'. "

I stuffed my mouth to full. It was uneasy to speak and my voice became lousy. Standing up I walked again finally reaching the gateway.

"Ah no one ?"

The tower I saw previously from miles away was in front of me. It was like a lighthouse but no one was up there to guard the city gate.

"I believe the town is surrounded by that chanting forest from all sides."

Passing the gigantic gate of the city I stepped in, my warrior dress clacking in the air. A line of small huts started painted in white with roofs dipped in blue on both sides. A few steps further bigger buildings rested with their necks high above the huts.

The narrow roads made with red bricks shinned bright in the glittering sunlight. Small baskets were hung outside every house filled with six to seven different colored flowers. The gateway was empty devoid of people. Perhaps everyone went for a festival or something like that.

I decided to take a round further.

[Feeble sound of Music]

I heard some voices hitched with fright as soon as I found myself in the middle of people. It was a market I guess and a lot of venders were selling fruits and flowers.

"Try this my lady it's the ripe

'fruit of life'. Very rich in taste."

She picked one from the cart and handed over to the lady who gazed at the fruit with desirable eyes.

"It's the fruit I ate earlier down there."

I whispered to myself. My tongue lingered for more of it. Sure it had the perfect name to it's taste. Bitter like sorrow and sweet like happiness thus as a whole life.

"Can I have one to taste ?"

I leaped forward running towards the lady when she ebbed immediately.

"St-ay away from me you freak ! Don't come near."

Her face became pale as she saw me like she encountered a ghost. Her brows creased together with fear. I glanced to the side where that aristocratic lady was standing. Their faces hurt me but all I needed was that delectable fruit to stuff into my watery mouth.

"I just want one please buy me."

I pleaded but she remained rooted there with a terrific face.

"Don't touch me you are a symbol of bad luck. Stay away I'm a neat freak, you ugly monster."

Maybe she was right; having that pinkish - white glow and blue -emerald eyes she was a symbol of beauty. A helenic one, her raven hair cascaded on shoulders elegantly, cherry red lips on the diamond shaped face, curvaceous body kept well. Being an embodiment of beauty she insulted me, perhaps she was right.

I moved back hurriedly and ran further. A vender came across the scene selling flowers. He presented a bouquet to her.

"Have these fresh Calla lilies madame they will suit you well."

He saw through the lady's grace well, sure like the previous girl she was also beautiful. The vender himself was young and handsome in his thirties with a pointed nose, delicate skin and Oceania blue eyes flickering with with magic. A strange melody was in the air like the clouds were singing in this town.

"Everyone here is mysteriously; beautiful with similar aura and grace."

Wandering here and there I was drooling over things like a kid. When a cl.u.s.ter of people thickened around me with feeble chattering and whispering in ears.

It was the first moment I felt myself shivering with the dreadful scene, my legs wriggling, what was happening ?

A chain flew up in the air and landed on my arms cuffing the both wrists.

"What you doing ? Set me free I mean no harm to anyone."

Tears crawled down on my cheeks. This wasn't happening, why they are doing this. I haven't harmed anyone.

"I'm new here in this town but I don't mean anything bad. Please let me go."

I pleaded but the man pulled the chain tightly and I fell down on my knees. Blood flowing out through the scratches, my body feeling the pangs of pain, heart pounding fast against the c.h.e.s.t.

"Set you free ? You ugly monster you are bad luck for Kingdom Bellezza. No wonder why our stone turned black. You ruined everything with your arrival. You are cursed."

He hissed venomously and the magical chain wrapped me around. While the residents started to chatter witnessing me being dragged to some place. They all were perfect in their faces, beautifully carved by God, gracefully kept in this kingdom but they were monsters inside.

THERE HAS BEEN SOME MISUNDERSTANDING. I DON'T BELONG HERE, PLEASE SET ME FREE. I AM NO BAD LUCK. WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME ?

My yelling became m.o.a.ns due to continuous crying and dragging. No one believed me. A lady stepped forward running towards in my direction.

"Wait I've something to state."

She was my last hope, the royal man halted and glanced back.

"Noble soldier I would suggest you that don't look into her snake green eyes they chant everyone. Please inform this to King Theon and kill her_ to save us."

She was the lady I met at the fruit stall. So that's why she saw me disgusting because of my snake-y green eyes !

"No please that's not a reason. Let me explain please. I came from another world. I'm not a monster I am just_ different from you all."

I tried to explain but all was a waste in front of those cruel people who refused to listen to me.

"WALK ! You will be given a chance to explain what you want to say but in front of the king and monarchs."

Maybe he will listen. Yes I should talk to him.
