The Beginning of a Fairy Tale

Lucy remained seated on the hill and waited in the dark. While she was shaking and crying in the quiet night, a slight breeze reached her. It was the Zephyr, the mildest of the winds, who elevated her over the rocky hill, to the celestial realm. She landed on a soft meadow full of flowers. He did his best to make her forget her pain while passing through realms and put her to sleep.

The maiden woke up by the sound of a stream. When she opened her eyes, she faced an imposing and magnificent castle. With golden columns, silver walls and floors made of precious stones, it looked like it belonged to a spirit. It seemed uninhabited and Lucy approached cautiously to admire the beauty of the seemingly uninhabited building. She was suspicious when she reached the threshold, as she heard a noise but could not see anyone. However, she could clearly hear the words: "This house is for you. Come in and do not be afraid. Take a bath and we will immediately prepare a great dinner for you ." Never had she taken such a refreshing bath nor tasted such delicious dishes. While eating, she heard soft music around her, like a harp playing while a choir was singing, even though she still couldn't see anyone.

She was alone the whole day, accompanied only by the voices. Nevertheless, she knew that her husband would come at night. The invisible helpers told her the man she is married to will come at night through the open balcony and his name is Leo .And it was true. While she relaxed in a dark bedroom, she felt a man close to her, she felt his silky hair and feather like wings enveloping her with his arms. and heard his voice whispering sweetly in her ear. Her fears disappeared and, even though she didn't see him, she was certain that Leo was not a monster but the loving husband she had always been wishing for.

He respected her, flirted with her , they ate food, they laughed in humorous talk and with her consent they made love. Lucy felt glad at every kind of love she was receiving. But one thing was certain, while eating he would hide his face in the darkness of room so she couldn't see him even in brightness of little far away stars. He would flirt with her, spend time with her and make love to her on the bed and made sure no light came to make Lucy see his face.
