They had watched ever so closely at what happened, hidden by the shadows of the darkest part of the forest.The vultures that they paid no mind of, they waited patiently, observing the madness that was brought upon the kingdom by the disappearance of Colter.

ColterNew York City, Planet EarthWhile the kingdom searched, the prince they were looking for, had decided to settle down and find peace in this new world he found himself in. It had taken a few mistakes and misunderstandings as he absorbed their culture. How humans talked, how they walked, how they went about their daily lives. He was away from the iron grips of his father; no longer would he suffer his brother’s schemes.Weeks passed by in this new world, as Colter took in everything.

ColterOutside Burn’s, New York CityShe was staring at him in disbelief, the same feeling he felt but the gloom and doom of the moment had passed and color had returned to his world once more. Vida was staring at Colter with a cutie but disappointed face. Her amber eyes showed concern and curiosity and Colter stared straight into them with his emerald ones.It seems that she had left that kingly looking man and ran outside to catch him, he felt the joy well up in his body as he tried to regain his composure. “She left him to talk to me!” his thoughts sang in his head but he tried to keep his face emotionless. Mustering all his will to prevent his voice from shaking, Colter answered her question:“Yes, Vida. I walked away because I realized you were busy” he focused on the word ‘busy’ lacing it with slight sulking and jealousy.Catching on, Vida laughed playfully at Colter fumbling his words and sounding petty. The flower in his hand caught her eye and she took it from him with amaz

ColterStreets of New York City, Planet Earth“Would you do the impossible and fly if I told you what would you do if Vida falls in love with you? Would you be able to catch her?”Tessa's words were like a slap to Colter. The past couple of days on Earth were the greatest adventures he had in his entire life. However, he still could not forget the risk of an Ecanus falling in love with a human.He can still hear Samuel's, the Lost Ecanus, words of warning in his mind:"I would not want to see you suffer the same fate as I did."Having a romantic relationship with a human that goes beyond platonic is forbidden. When that happens, the Ecanus will be stripped of his powers and have the special Ecanus mark removed painfully. The only way to reverse the crime committed is to have the heart of the Ecanus' lover be brought to Howard and offered to the Deity to be planted. In three days, if it blooms white, the Lost One would be welcomed back with the greatest honor and he shall slowly gain h

VidaVida's Apartment, New York CityThings are about to get interesting.As Vida opened the door to her apartment, she immediately hesitated about bringing Colter over.It was surreal to say the least. The man she had been dreaming about was actually real. She had doubts at first when she could not find him at all on social media. But when he appeared that day at Burn's, she knew it was too good to be true. There must be something going on. She was not sure yet what it was but there was something she could not place. "So, uh, make yourself at home." Vida flipped the switches and light flooded the living room. "Let me get some towels so you could dry off."While she went to the tiny bathroom down the hall to get some towels, she realized that she had a stranger in her apartment. Well, Colter was technically not a stranger, but nonetheless, Vida had only known him for a couple of days. It was out of character for her to be taking in homeless men"Homeless yet drop-dead gorgeous men,"

VidaVida’s Apartment, Planet EarthHer thoughts betrayed her as she stared at the ceiling of her apartment, there was a disturbance in her very existence as she tried her best to find sleep. But it would not just come to her. She lay in her bed, blankly trying to under what was going on. Her guest, a man that came straight out of her dreams, was on the sofa close by. A coffee table was set up to make a mark of separation between them.Vida thrashed around in bed as her thoughts lingered, sleep would not come as she fought against the voices that were biting at her mind. It was as if regret suddenly decided to show up and start biting at her being as she tried to comprehend what was going on.
