Yohan’s treatment continued for four days straight and then after all of his body was fully healed he was taken out of the water bed and laid down on a bed in the first queen’s room.
Fascinating as it was magical. The creatures of the forest lived inside the humongous tree houses. I couldn’t tell if they were built like this or if they were a part of the tree since it looked as if the houses emerged from them, they were so closely connected but then again seeing how nicely furnished they were they couldn’t have been just a part of the tree, work was definitely done on it by architects and workers.
It was all just so magical, especially since the houses looked so great. Bricks, wood, cement, everything was used in making it, yet it fit in with the forest so perfectly.
The houses were at the most inner part of the forest. Home to many different kinds of forest fae but I couldn’t meet any one of them since I stayed by Yohan’s side the whole time. Arsay and Esra had also forbidden them from disturbing us, so I couldn’t even see any mystical beings. It was sort of disappointing.
.
The queens had their own tree and owned all that was built on it, interconnected from the inside, like a tall palace. The rest of the fae shared their trees.
Some had their houses on the bottom, some in the middle, some on the left, some on the rear. It all seemed so enchanting.
Some of the tree branches were so thick, flat and long they acted as bridges between the houses on different trees. I think the branches joined at the midpoint from two different trees to make the bridge and some thinner branches work as grills around it.
Some thick branches from the trees were even more magical since they went from the top house to the lower ground while connecting with the other houses on the same tree and actually had steps on it.
It was like a magical tree staircase.
Moreover one would think that if there are humongous trees and the houses are in the innermost part there won’t be any sunlight, yet there was more than enough light here during the day.
While during the night the lamp flowers would come to life and glow brightly. They gave out enough light to illuminate every area.
The whole place was majestic itself.
Esra told me that this world is divided into two halves. One side belongs to the fae and the other to the undead. The oceans have separate divisions and witches and wizards roam and live wherever they like since they’re like a neutral party.
The fae side is covered with mostly the forest but there are towns as well as villages but not cities. The term is specific to the human world.
I really want to visit fae towns and villages. That would be really amazing. I wonder if they’re like how I read in novels and comics.
Coming to the magic realm is just like living through a fantasy movie. It still feels unreal.
I took a deep breath as a cold breeze brushed by me while I stood on the terrace on the top most floor of the Queens house while Yohan was asleep in the room on the same floor.
The nymphs had already gone back and it was surprising they didn’t ask for anything in return.
Arsay told me that it was because the fae were friendly creatures. They tend to help each other out whenever the other needs help and any fae would have stepped ahead to help a prince.
I turned my head and looked back inside the room Yohan was asleep in. The terrace was huge and spacious and so was the room. A large sliding door was the way in and out of the terrace.
I walked back inside white the white curtain fluttered due to the soft wind. Leaves rustled gently as I went and sat on the floor by Yohan’s side.
Prince huh… As if being the head of a company wasn’t enough.
I ended up giggling at myself sarcastically.
I really got myself someone so precious.
“Yohan.” I held his hand, “It’s 12th today.” I talked to him, “I thought we’d spend my birthday together this year, I was so excited for it, so aren’t you going to wake up?” I looked at his sleeping figure. “The day is passing by, it’ll soon be evening and for the first time in years I care about this day.” I placed my hand on his cheek, “For the first time I looked forward to it because of you.” I whispered the words as I caressed his cheek with my thumb, “I’m waiting for you.”
I got no response so I placed his hand gently on the bed and stood up.
It’s alright.
I know he’ll wake up since he’s all alright now. I just have to wait for him.
Sighing, I walked towards the terrace when a voice reached me.
“Happy birthday.”
