It is morning now, the sun peeps out between the curtains giving a glow that heartens the minds.
The sky is clear and the sea calm before departure. – A coffee? – I ask my husband intertwining my each other’s hands.
Richard looks at me and smiles faintly, we have reopened the trunk and put on the clothes, strictly the same.
It is like a rite for us, a rite that is repeated every year.
He shakes his head – Better we go –
He approaches me and plays with a lock of my hair gathered in a soft braid that I usually wear on one side,
Cyn we have to go … now! – he takes my hands, kisses them half-closing his eyes and together we repeat the formula.
And the sky is torn apart and a warm and luminous glow envelops our bodies that float in the air as if by magic.
A leap into the void where time does not exist, where everything seems to have stopped. – My little Rimion where are you … –
We both arrive at the same time, our heads a little sore, and confused. At Fantasy Faire it seems to be sunset, the village is surrounded by greenery.
The lights inside the small houses look like many eyes scrutinizing us.
We have to ask on the streets, to people, to creatures. they must have seen our son somewhere! –
I nod my husband’s voice never seemed so beautiful, sweet and reassuring.
We walk along the path, breathing composed, and hearts beating in unison as an omen of a sad song.
Who can want the evil of a small and fragile creature like a child. What’s so evil about Fantasy Faire?
My thoughts are distracted, and so no doubt Richard’s thoughts are distracted by something that catches our attention.
A faint light, one would say a firefly, she invites us to follow her at the end of the path, near a fountain with clear waters where rose petals lie, scattered here and there, of a little not so far from the rose garden.
Richard and I exchange a knowing glance when a voice calls us by name. -Cyn my sweetest Cynthia, Richard dear friend! You have finally arrived – Tears roll down my cheeks as Richard looks at the man in front of him still in disbelief, but he is not in fact a man there is only a slight semblance of him. He is pure spirit … The spirit of the White Elf Rimion!
But you are … you are … – I repeat softly in tears, I do not want the White Elf to go away now that I have found him – Dead?! – he says smiling as he used to do – It’s magic, remember right? I’m here to help you find your child, but to do that, I need you two to part, at least momentarily. You both have paths to follow, different paths, and mind you that everyone at Fantasy Faire counts on Cynthia and Richard … it is the magic of love that wins over evil! – Having said this, he vanishes, and so does the firefly that had lit up. And It’s night, and it is dark, not a star lighting up the sky of Fantasy Faire. It’s cold and I’m alone. No trace of Richard.
I’m afraid, but the thought of my son comes back to keep me company.

And it’s morning, Richard and I are getting ready to go to Fantasy Faire. Oh in the past Richard and I felt the call of the magical world, and fantastic creatures, for two like us, experiencing the adventure was pure adrenaline. What had stopped us since our wedding day? The work? A son ? Everyday life? difficult to say and not all necessarily in order, only one concern now … The little Rimion. Time passed quickly … I pause to rethink BackStory ** You don’t know how the meeting with Rimion the Elf took place? Years ago on one of our travels, we found ourselves in an enchanted forest. Richard and I explored the vast lands of Fantasy Faire. I don’t know how I stumbled, surely, as usual I must have had my head in the air … I lost my balance and found myself on the ground with a sore ankle. I was complaining between sobs – Cyn don’t throw a tantrum, stay still it’s just a sprain- Richard said as he tried to assess the damage to my ankle. – we need the panacea lapsorum – said a voice behind us. The Elf was beautiful, white skin and delicate complexion, a mop of snowy hair in spite of his young age
Who are you – Richard asks arching his eyebrow and putting himself in front of me as if to protect me – The elf smiled and then elegantly gave us a bow worthy of other times, and enchanted fairy tales. “My name is Rimion. I protect this place from the Dark Elf, he wants to destroy Fantasy Faire,” he said without taking his eyes off my now swollen and purple ankle.
And who is this dark elf? – I asked with difficulty holding back a grimace of pain. “You need the panacea lapsorum on that ankle,” the elf said as he rummaged in his saddlebag. From this he drew small yellow flowers. – Arnica? – I asked amazed – No, no, the elf repeated – panacea lapsorum! – and then burst into thunderous laughter. Of course the fair-skinned elf with very mobile blue eyes was beautiful. We laughed together, although I was a little tired, I invited him to come over to help me. Many memories! There was a fierce fight! The Dark Elf was not armed, he used his mind thanks to dark magic to be able to plagiarize all living beings and conquer more power. In my eyes the clear image of that episode could not be chased away … The white elf attempting a lunge as Richard and I ran to his aid armed and ready for battle, a gash in the blue to understand that this time the dark elf couldn’t make it! The awareness of being invincible when united together by love for Fantasy Faire. A glow the same that now led us to Fantasy Faire to take back our son Rimion, dear and sweet White Elf now gone, you will live in my baby’s name …

Night falls, Richard looks at me, wipes my tears by depositing little kisses. “Come,” he whispers, he takes me by the hand, puts Rimion’s bear on the sofa and gently guides me into our bedroom. The moon reflects on the sea, but I don’t notice this. He runs his fingers nervously through his hair. -Cyn we’re both tired and you need to rest before you act. – I nod and reply – yes – but I doubt he can hear that little whisper. How much I love my husband! How I wish our little Rimion would come home! -we must take back our son at all costs, he will be looking for us little love from mom and dad- Richard lies down while I sit on the edge of the bed with my arms crossed, as if to defend myself from what, and from whom …
love we must not lose hope … we know how to get to Fantasy Faire … and we have many friends who can help us! – I bite my bottom lip and realize that Richard is right … -Hope …- I repeat softly before lying down next to him. I close my eyes and lwait the next day. The new day is now about to arrive. -Fantasy Faire! –

It was late afternoon almost evening, Cynthia was smiling happily after putting little Rimion in her cradle. She was firmly determined that this was the life she always wanted to have. When suddenly a gust of wind almost knocked her off balance. The young woman just shook her head – better go make the stew – she said to herself AVADRA KEDRAVA IMPERIUS! A dark shadow echoed in the room, Cynthia fainted as the shadow moved towards the cradle. And Rimion grew up, A baby stood on the cradle with an accusing finger. -You are the bane of Fantasy Faire … Get away from me! Away from me or my punishment will be worthy of the Elf Rimion whose name I proudly bear! – The shadow drifted away to catch up with Cynthia still unconscious. He touched the girl’s forehead, and she changed her dress and skin, her face covered with a gloomy mask … An evil spell had just revealed itself … For Cynthia and Rimion there was no longer any hope.
Cynthia woke up and went to her baby’s room. -Mom ! – he exclaimed. She didn’t seem to be at all surprised at his growth. She took him with her in her arms simply murmuring-Come ventus come, sinere feel solus relaxari, nunc nunc Come, Come Come Come Come … Destination Fantasy Faire! –
-Here is my son to You Lord of the Darkness – Cynthia said gently placing her hands on the child’s shoulders.
** My friends … You wonder who that dark shadow ever was. I told you about Rimion the Archduke, the good Sorcerer Elf who helped the creatures of Fantasy Faire … my son’s name was given in honor of him to remember his heroic deeds! Well, the evil sorcerer who many times tried to destroy the magical world was his greatest enemy. You will meet him soon, very soon … I look forward to seeing you at Fantasy Faire!

Rimion where are you? – It is evening, the sun colors the whole landscape with its rays, the reflections on the sea invite you to poetry and tranquility … I am preparing the table, now it is set, I certainly have not forgotten to put the candles. I love to take care of my two men. I think back to my son, he, the little man in my life, sleeps and I go back to the stove. Dinner on the fire, the stew my beloved Richard likes. The keys in the lock, a smile shows on my lips, my husband is back, finally! I turn down the heat and put the ladle on, take off the kitchen apron, to reveal myself in front of him, arranging my long, loose hair up to my shoulders – I made you the stew, the one you like so much. Let’s be quiet, shhh, our son is asleep – the index finger playfully pinned to his full lips where I lean a light kiss. Richard smiles at me and winks – I’m going to see you don’t know how much I’ve missed you my love – two minutes, just two minutes and Richard comes back to me with a desperate expression on his face. – there isn’t … where is him? ! Rimion is not in his cradle! –
Rimion – I say softly, almost a whisper as fragile as a lifeless autumn leaf on the ground. Where is our son … An absurd pain in the pit of my stomach, a pain that only a mother can understand, copious tears fall as I turn off the stove. I turn to look at Richard looking for an answer in his eyes. I don’t believe it, it’s a nightmare, I rush into little Rimion’s room … empty … I grab the bear, lifeless life on my baby’s cradle … I hug it to my chest as if it were my beloved Rimion. -Police-Richard exclaims as he goes to get his cell phone. My conscious gaze, I shake my head and still hold the little bear in my arms. -No – I answer simply – Cynthia …. we have to call the police! – -No – I repeat again, while sadly I sit on the sofa – Richard rushes to me crossing the corridor, on the side of the terrace, reaches me asking with amazement -Do you know where our son is? – -Think about it Richard, Rimion is a few months old, and he proves to be a much older child, how long has Richard been … a year? Look at me … and listen to me, the police are not needed … The answers we are looking for are at Fantasy Faire!

16:02] Lestat Zalivstok: Put all the effort into it every detail counts [16:05] Lestat Zalivstok: Sometimes people think putting up a tribute show is very easy.. just jump on stage and stream the music but it’s not exactly like that there is a lot of work under… for make good lookalike avatars and hours spent in search the right animations … build the appropriate stage etc…
