"What were you thinking!" Amorivia shouts at the lost boy. She was upset that he dove into the water and then kissed her!
"I was trying to save you!" The lost boy reasoned.
"Trying to save me?! You kissed me!"
"No! I gave you air to breathe!"
Their face were inches away from each other, both of them frowning and soaked. Amorivia's breathing heaved, her nose wrinkling and her mouth shut just glaring at the lost boy. He's doing the same exact thing.
"It's cold," she muttered.
That's when the lost boy's face softened and realized she's shivering. "I should get you another clothes then."
"How? You live in a branch! You wear the same piece of clothing!"
"Doesn't mean I'm smelly. You're smelly!"
Amorivia scoffed. "How mean!"
The lost boy laughed and told her to wait at that shore. "Can't I come? There might be some creatures who'd—"
"Just beware of the mermaids. Some of them are quite feisty. Don't ever step back to the water and if you hear a melodic song, cover your ears."
Before Amorivia could hold the lost boy's hand, he flew away and now she's alone. Scared of what the lost boy told her about the mermaids. Her conception of these mythical creatures are all wrong, she thought they were nice.
Amorivia sighed and laid down the sand. "It's such a tiring day," she murmurs. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
•••
The lost boy flew away looking for decent clothes for Amorivia to wear. He first saw boar skins and of the wild animals but he's pretty sure the lady won't wear such stinky skins.
He then went and saw leaves, big ones that could cover her but then he thought it wouldn't keep her warm. So, he went to the elves territory.
"Gutlyfifiigorrgutsa!" The lost boy barge in unannounced. But more or less, the elves doesn't really care about the lost boy being in their territory. As long as he doesn't hurt anyone from their kind then it's all good.[Greetings!]
"Insheiuig sheiuonfi grevoie chuorofi shefilyfi feruoly?" Asked the crown princess of the elves. [What have you come here for?]
The lost boy scratches the back of his head and smiled flatteringly at the princess. The princess looked away, blushing a little.
"O... chiurofi feruoly chheuoigshefisa," the lost boy muttered. [I... came for clothes]
It shocked the princess of the elves. She once offered him to change his clothes before, but he would refuse. Now that he's asking for such, it made her wonder.
"Iuhelyyogutsheig," the princess said, smiling sweetly at the lost boy.
The lost boy smiled back and then flew away in a flash. It froze the princess. I thought he wanted clothes, she thought and sighed. Maybe he'll come back later.
•••
The lost boy flew back to the shore and his eyes widened when he saw the mermaids slowly pulling the sleeping Amorivia into the water. What a pain, he thought and hurried down.
He hissed and grunts at the mermaids which made them go away like seals, bouncing into the water.
"She had fallen asleep," he murmurs and carried her in his arms. He needs to get her to the elves to dress her up.
The sight of the lost boy carrying a lady in his arms surprised the elves. They thought he had killed the lady but then it moved.
"Oh my! Who is that?" Asked the princess.
"She's the lady and you said you can dress her. She's soaked," he innocently uttered.
"Well then," the princess stated. "Please, take her and dress her nicely," she commanded.
Immediately, Amorivia was taken inside the elves home. The princess didn't like Amorivia at all.
"I'll come back later to get her. Please be nice to her," the lost boy reminded and left.
The smile on the princess's face slowly faded. Now, where did this girl came from? Why was the lost boy taking care of her? These questions were running inside the princess's pretty mind.
***
Amorivia felt comfortable in where she was laying. It felt like she was in her bed. She slowly open her eyes and saw a ball of light hanging at the ceiling. At first she thought it was a lightbulb but then it moved and flew closer to her. It made her lean back.
She just realized that it was some kind of furry ball that has round hands and legs. It has big eyes and a cute mouth. It's adorable, she thought.
When Amorivia tried to touch it, it flew to the other corner of the room. It made her look around. She wasn't familiar with this place. Was she captured by the mermaids or the fairies?
Then she looked down and her eyes widened when she saw she was wearing a beautiful tulle blue dress that has some flower designs embedded on it. She smiled, standing up and twirling around happily at the room.
Slowly the furry ball's eyes were filled with sparkles. The way Amorivia was being happy made it feel warmth inside. It slowly came close to her.
Amorivia stopped and stare at the furry ball again. Again, she tried to reach out and touch the ball. Luckily it seemed like it had trusted her and she touched the ball. It was like petting a bunny. Its fur is so soft and it was fluffy.
"Warm!"
The fur ball's shout made her let go.
"You can speak!" She exclaimed in excitement.
"Uh-huh!" The furball said, nodding.
"Do you know where we are? And what are you?"
The furball thought hard about it. What was he? He doesn't know what they really were but for the elves they were just furball's the light up the Elves' houses. He didn't know what they exactly were so he answered. "We're at the elves' kingdom. The princess brought you inside this room."
"The princess..." she murmured. Princess of the Elves, she wonder what she looks like.
It didn't take long and they heard a knock on the door. The fur ball immediately went back to the carved spot at the ceiling. Now, Amorivia can't see his big eyes.
The door opened and it shifted her gaze, from up to the one at the door. The lady wore a tiara made of flowers, her hair was silver and long, she had pointed ears and she was enchanting. This must be the princess, Amorivia thought and immediately bowed down.
"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble," she said, unable to look up.
The princess smiled at the human girl. It was a fake one for she was envy of this girl having to spend time with the lost boy.
"He hasn't come back yet. I thought I should take care of you," The princess smiled brightly at Amorivia.
Amorivia frowned trying to remember who hasn't come back yet and her eyes widened when she did. That lost boy! He said he'd come for me!
After wandering the land, the lost boy decided to go back to the elves. He almost forgot about Amorivia."I wonder how her face will look like," he thought and giggled when an image of Amorivia all red in anger flashed on his mind.The moment he arrived, a little elf screamed of his arrival. A familiar lady with a decent dress had came running towards him. His proud smile had gone wider at the sight of Amorivia's face."You promise breaker! You said you'd come for me!" Amorivia yelled at his face.He leaned a little back. "Didn't I? I brought you here to get dressed. You were sleeping so I went out," he explained.Amorivia's eyes narrowed at him. "Put me in trouble again and I'm staying with the elves!"The lost boy knew she was mad but she looked cuter when she is."You've come back," the princess bowed down to him and he did the same."Yes, I won't be long. I'm going to take the lady with me too."What he said saddened
"Really? I can try them all?" Amorivia gasped.They were at the elf princess' dressing chamber and her highness had given her permission to try on dresses. Don't get her wrong, she has quite the number of dresses but they weren't as magical!The elf's dresses has glitters, silk were the finest she had touched before and the tulle made her feel like she's a princess."Are you sure this is alright?" she asked the elf princess when she's already getting dressed up by the maid elves."Unless you don't want to try the elves dresses.""No!" She yells, waving her hand in mid air. "I love the dresses that's why I am worried I might ruin it when we go for a walk."
The lost boy's eyes were locked on the lady's, his mouth slightly open. He seemed to have no answer, for the right one, he can never tell."I have a mission," he says. "I don't know precisely but the captain said I will know when it comes.""A mission. Do you think I'm in here too because of a mission?""Didn't you choose to be in here?""To Neverland with Peter not here with you."But of course an angel never lies. The lady did choose to be here. He should start reminding himself that his only concern is his name; nothing more and nothing less."Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" he questions, changing the topic.
It was getting dark when the lost boy decided it was time for some fun. He flew away from the branch and went to their neighbor elf houses. A big leaf he rolled to create a megaphone like thing."Every one!" he calls. "A witch has abducted the princess! Deep in the hunting grounds of Elovia! Quick we must track them down!"Elves were easy to trick if it involves their princess. It would be lovely if that evil princess learns her lesson. He is pretty sure that the goddess has worsen the curse.Now that every elf was heading towards the forest, he flew with them. Escorting them towards where the princess and his lady are."The witch!" he heard an elf shouts.The side of his
The elf princess and Amorivia has been walking for hours now while the fur ball and lost boy were happily flying. How un gentleman of those two to have kept them walking.They are on their way home, to the tree of life, where they'd plan their next escapade. Though Amorivia has nothing planned yet, she was certain she would find clues on Peter's where about.Also when they reunited with the princess, she didn't expect her to be uglier than what she had seen. If anything that happened is great, it's how the princess' attitude changed. She was more sweet, appreciative and more into her surrounding now."Can we rest for a while?" asked the princess."I'm also really tired already," she whines, sitting directly on the leaves,
Still catching their breathes, they managed to cross the river and into the other side of it, escaping the inescapable. They really thought that was the end of them."You!" the elf princess marched towards the boy. "What were you thinking?!"But the boy ran and hid at Amorivia's back, clearly terrified at the princess' face."Why are you with a goblin?!" he cries.What he said made the princess start cursing. She had to hug the princess before she could grab the foolish boy."Stop it, princess!" she said but it has no effect and she turns at the boy who was frozen."Did you just call her princess or was I out of my head
"Separate?" the lost boy frowned. "Hah?""The pirates!" she almost yell. "They are not to be messed with. They have big cannons and I don't think a bunch of kids-- I mean us could sneak in their ship."Everyone was silent for a brief moment until they laughed at her. Frowning, she darted her eyes at them, disgust in her stare. What is so funny with what she just said?"Where's your pretty little brain, lady?" Selena ridiculed. "The lost boy can just fly to the ship, and we can wait at the shore. But first, of course we find the best way to find the sea.""Is it not dangerous for him to go alone?""Well, just in case you have forgotten, he always make fun of them."
After their fish dinner everyone decided to sleep early since they had a tiring day of walks--that is except the lost boy but he still slept anyways. But for Selena, it was the perfect time to go for a walk and talk to the moon.So, she tiptoed on her way out, careful not to step on the old wood plank that would create a squeaking sound. When she was finally out, she sighed, wearing her sling bag for the arrows and walking ahead.Pass the houses and into a space, she put off her cloak's hood, letting the moonlight touch her face. With her beauty back, she gazes at the moon."My dear, goddess," she calls, her voice pleading. "I ask you to reconsider. I can not betray the people whom save me from my selfishness. I would rather stay hideous and in a goblin form than betray Amorivia.
Amorivia was still crying even after entering the gates of the Seven Orb. She killed him. The Angel of Death warned her and now it's her conscience that isn't clear. "Hey, we had to do that. We needed to do that, Amorivia." Tenshi cupped her face and even though her lips were trembling, she has to look at his eyes to stop. She was still guilty on the inside and nothing can change that. "We are already here. All we can do now is go further and go home." And that she understand, nodding as Tenshi wipe her tears away. Inhaling, she started thinking straight while he holds her hand. Finally, they have a chance to go home but she knew exactly what was waiting.
The moon is rising with the stars slowly appearing, replacing the bright sun, bringing darkness in the land of Shi no Ji. Keisuke displayed a smirk, his eyes focused on the moon. When it shines the brightest like how he once saw it on the mortal world, it will be time to close the curtains. As soon as The Angel of Death feels the presence of the souls, he motioned his hand, letting the cube lift a little higher allowing the lady to see how he fights her friends. Not only that, his time is limited, only a few hours and they will figure out how to break the cube. If that breaks, he has to accept those memories once again. Keisuke waited for them to stand in front of him, he could already see their angry faces. How lovely they express their minds. As soon as they sta
Now that they've found out that the guardian of the next orb is The Angel of Death himself, they know their adventure is about to end. They wanted to go home to Saiva but unfortunately, the Altas was burned, must be from the lightning that struck Nisemono. "I'm sorry. I didn't think it would turn in to ashes," Nisemono apologized, scratching the back of his head. "We don't need that one anymore. Keisuke doesn't stay in one city, he will come whenever he wants to. What we need to do is be ready when he strikes, he's pretty tricky," Tenshi told them. Well working for the Angel of Death at first, he ought to know stuffs that Keisuke does. He often would visit the outside of his Sekai, maybe visits the Angels Realm or somewhere in the mortal world. Sometimes he would talk ab
As Nisemono got closer to the guardian's Sekai, he could hear the thunder and sees light flashing. It gave him the idea that Pika uses the lighting. Bravely, he steps inside the guardian's world. The inside is a plain, just flat with a leafless tree in the middle. There, he notices someone standing on a branch, wearing white clothes, facing him.The lightning and the loud rumbling of the sky doesn't seem to make the young man flinch. There is no doubting it, that someone in the middle is the guardian Pika. Nismeono waited for Pika to approach him but the guardian did not. No other choice left, he started striding towards that dang tree. Every step he takes, he ready himself for a lightning that could come striking. As soon as he was in front of the guardian, he stopped.
When the fairies heard of Amorivia getting her memories back, the King decided to prepare a feast to celebrate it. All of them gathered under the Sacred Tree where the fairies play their music, they also held hands, forming a circle while they dance. Everyone has sparkles in their eyes, shimmering as giggles filled the air. As soon as the fairies served alcohol on the table, Kitto and Amrak looked at each other, eyes wide. They know what will happen if they try to take one glass in. They look at their lady and the dangerous aura surrounding Selena and Arwha was there. "Don't even think about it, Kitto." Even though Arwha was smiling at him, he knows well that she is ready to beat him up any second if he puts his finger around that glass. "I was not thinking of it," he li
Just when Tenshi storm off to find Amorivia back in that maze, the guardian informed the others that Amorivia will lose her emotions for a couple of days. She was too weak to take the orb. In order for an orb to settle in a body, one has to have strong emotions. That is why she had to die with her memories. But if she gets stronger, there's a fair chance that her memory might return. With the rain pouring, they were given by the guardians some roof made of a big leaf to shelter them all. Every passing second, Amrak knows he was going to lose Selena and it is making him go madder. He's too useless, unable to do anything for Selena but cry. While the others were waiting, Tenshi was still in shock to see Amo
"You are an illusion," Nisemono uttered. "I know you can alter memories. That flying flower, it has your magic in it." Just after he said it, like a bubble, the illusion blew and replaced with a fallen petal. How cool it is if he could own the ability. Sadly, he knows it is not for him. Well, he has to continue with his exit. Selena as expected, was facing Tosh. She has been chosen by the green orb and with her magical bow, she was keeping up with the guardian. That training from the old man Pula really helped her in this battle. The fairy, Tosh, had the trees and thorns to control, he could also make the ground rise and make spikes out of it. Selena had to m
Their rest day came to an end and they were back to traveling again. It says on the map that they have to travel at least three days to arrive at the gates of the City of Wings. If only all of them could fly, it would be faster for them to be in front of the gates. But who would love to rush their deaths? From what they experience with Pula, there is somewhat an uneasiness in their minds, worrying at the possibility that they might end up in a reset. But in order to get home, they have to brush those worries away, fight for all their mights. "I was wondering," Amrak suddenly spoke, "Do you have any ideas what will happen after we gather the orbs? I know we'll go home but how does it do that?" They all stopped walking and looked at Amrak's way, blinking their eyes, thinking what the
The moment Amorivia's eyes opened, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling. It wasn't as nice as Saiva's ceiling design but it was not an eyesore. How funny it is that she's comparing ceilings rather than thinking where she is. Slowly she sits up and her eyes searched the room for clue. Looks like she's in someone's house, maybe the old man? She wonders why it was so quiet. Did she pass the training? She can't quite recall if she had but she remember making that messy garden a little more of a garden. Those roses! Their thorns hurts so much and she wasn't even given any tools by the old man! How inconsiderate! It took a lot of cuts to trim the darn roses! She looks down on her hand and noticed the bandages, even the cuts on her arms from that plants' branch. After a while, she stand up
