📌 Just to remember that English is not my first language, if you find any really grotesque mistakes, let me know. But I hope the text is clear enough for everyone to understand and that everything makes sense.

The world around Aerin began to blur, as if a thin veil of enchantment had settled over her perception. The music seemed to grow louder and more rhythmic, pulsating through her veins like a wild heartbeat. The revelers transformed into ethereal beings, their movements flowing with an otherworldly grace. Colors intensified, and whispers of unseen magic brushed against her ears.

Aerin felt a surge of energy coursing through her, a wildness awakening within her very being. The urge to join the swirling dancers tugged at her, an invitation to embrace the intoxicating freedom of the night. With a twinkle in her eye and a smile tugging at her lips, she surrendered herself to the enchantment of the Nectar Estelar, ready to dance amidst the stars.

The rest of the night blurred into a whirlwind of vibrant colors and pulsating music. Aerin spun and danced without restraint, surrendering herself to the intoxicating ecstasy that flowed through her veins. Faces blurred into joyful smudges, their laughter blending with the rhythm of the music, creating an intoxicating symphony that reverberated in her very soul.

It was a wild and primal euphoria, a tempest of magic and energy. Aerin moved with an effortless grace, her body fluid and nimble, as if guided by unseen hands.

The world became a whirlwind of ethereal beauty, where reality intertwined with fantastical possibilities. She caught glimpses of shimmering figures , twirling and whirling in a harmonious dance of shared enchantment. Their smiles were infectious.

In this state of intoxicating bliss, Aerin shed the weight of her worries and inhibitions. She surrendered herself to the music, allowing its irresistible rhythm to guide her every movement. There were no boundaries.

Time spun on, and the night embraced her in its velvety embrace. Aerin danced and danced, lost in a whirlwind of pure enchantment, her heart soaring amidst the ethereal magic that enveloped her.

In that moment, she was no longer just Aerin, the elf, the fey, the princess. She was a vessel of fey energy, a conduit of unbridled joy and dance, a living embodiment of the night's revelry. And as she twirled under the moonlit sky, she knew that she had found her place in the realm of dreams and enchantment, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blurred into a symphony of pure bliss.

Someone's hand reached out and took hers, spinning her around and placing an arm around her waist. For a brief moment, a flicker of consciousness returned to Aerin, and she startled, her eyes wide with alarm. She looked around, realizing that there was no one else around her. The once blazing bonfires had dwindled to mere embers, leaving only shadows and silence. It was just her and… that stranger...

The stranger exuded an eerie and unsettling presence. His skin was pale as the moon's glow. Long, obsidian locks cascaded down his back like a shadowy waterfall, shrouding his features in a veil of darkness. His elegant attire, while sophisticated, carried an air of sinister allure. His cold coal-black eyes bore into Aerin's soul, their intensity radiating a chilling aura that sent shivers down her spine. There was an undeniable magnetism about him, like a moth drawn to a flame, but beneath that charm lay a hint of darkness and mystery that whispered of danger.

Aerin felt the malevolent energy that emanated from the stranger, as if her fey instincts, just beginning to unfurl, allowed her to perceive the evil that came from him. Despite the intoxicating effects coursing through her body, she couldn’t ignore the ominous presence that surrounded him. The air crackled with an unsettling tension, and every fiber of her being urged her to stay away.

Her breath came in ragged gasps, strands of hair escaping from her braids and clinging to her damp neck. The male drew closer, and a surge of fear jolted through Aerin, causing her to step back, her foot catching on an uneven patch of ground. She stumbled, almost falling if she hadn't caught herself on a nearby tree.

The dark eyes of the male were peculiar—sinister and hypnotic. Aerin felt a strange sensation engulf her, but it was different from the euphoria and lightness she had experienced moments ago. Now, it was as if she were a captive to his gaze, unable to move, her will trapped.

As he drew nearer, a shudder coursed through her as his finger grazed her skin, sliding from her cheek to the graceful curve of her jaw and finally settling on her heaving chest. "You possess the same ethereal beauty as your mother," he whispered, his voice dripping with a dangerous blend of malice and desire, his hungry gaze devouring her form. A wicked glint danced in his eyes as he pondered, "I wonder what that pretty little mouth can do..."

"Do-do you know my mother?" Aerin asked, her voice slurred from the lingering effects of the intoxicating drink.

"Oh yes... I know her quite well," he smirked, his expression dripping with a mixture of desire, lust, and wickedness. "We are old friends."

Aerin opened her mouth to speak, but then Galadel's voice echoed nearby. Aerin blinked as if breaking out of a trance, and the strange fae male had vanished. Galadel found her, his face creased with concern, explaining that they had been searching for her as she had gone missing.

A foolish smile curved upon Aerin's lips. "Oh, my hero!" She exclaimed, clearly still under the influence of the drink. "There was a fae male here... I swear, but he disappeared," she said, pointing to the spot where he had stood.

"There's no one here. I think you were still hallucinating," Galadel said before gently assisting her, asking if she was alright.

"But I swear," she insisted once more.

"Let's go," he said, sliding his arm around the young woman's waist and leading her away from there and back to the palace.

"My gallant knight..." Aerin playfully teased, planting a kiss on his cheek.

Galadel chuckled and joked, "What would your mother say if she found you like this? Both of your mothers, actually."

Aerin stumbled slightly, her legs momentarily unsteady beneath her, a result of the drink's lingering effect. She leaned into Galadel's support, finding balance in his steadying presence. She giggled, her laughter mingling with the crisp morning air. Her steps were a touch clumsy but her spirits remained high as they made their way through the dimly lit pathways. She allowed the ranger to guide her through the winding paths back to the safety of the palace walls.

✔️ Chapter 9, wrapped.

I don't know if you guys noticed, but I modified Aerin for the thousandth time. She was wearing a mask the whole time practically so...
She must have dropped the mask somewhere, I don't know. XD
She kind of reminds me a little bit of Kristin Kreuk now, apart from some obvious differences.

Thank you for all the favs.❤

A big thank you to those who follow the story and read this far.

And a special thanks to those friends who are always in the comments. It means so much!!!  💗💗💗
