'Aqi, what is the matter? you have been very down for a day or two?'.
The blue haired maiden turn around only to see her big brother concern face. She pull out her best smile but surely her brother can read her like a book. Something must be really bad that it bug his sister like this. He want to know more. What could be the problem? His very happy and delicate sister now frowning like a lemon.
'Have you seen Grena lately?'.
'No, I guess. What is it with him?'.
'Nothing of the matter. Just asking?'.
Aqi force a smile on her face. Her brother wouldn't stop bugging her until she smile. Finally, her brother go out of her room because of a meeting with the council.
In reality, how can she smile when she knows one of her friend in the brink of falling into darkness. Aqi could see the beautiful stars and town in the spirit realm but she knows they will be invaded soon enough. She rememeber what Grena said last night.
'Grena! how long has it been since our last ecounter?'.
'Very long indeed, my princess'.
'Please don't call me that. Hey why are you here anyway? shouldn't you be at the healing chamber in Equastridel?'.
'Are you kicking me out?'.
'No-'.
'Don't worry I didn't mind it at all just came here to say a few words to my dearest friend.'
'What is it?'.
'Run, they whole place will be invaded with darkness as soon as the dark empire has their hand on the crystal princess of the Floweria empire'.
'But, the princesses went missing and were confirm dead because of their blood spilling into the cold sea. How can they be alive?'.
'That wasn't their blood but someoene else.'
'Are you saying that-'.
'Yes, pretty much.'
'What about the older sister?'.
'She in a capable hand of Fairy Hunter oh! she's a spirit summoner just like her mother and a galactic dragon tamer like her father but unfortunately, she couldn't open the gate to the dragon power. For some reason someone lock it. I think the dark empire don't want the sisters to open their gate of dragon because if they do. The power of the duo are beyond compare. ONLY their decendence can have the power to defeat them. Until then....'.
Grena couldn't continue. he remember what he had done to his Layla. She has been very kind to a spirit like him. The past scar is haunting again.
The deep wound is bleeding. He can't choose wether to follow orders of the past or the future. To be who he's not or who he really is. The princess see the sad face of her companion and she knows what is bothering him. After all they are childhood friends.
'I don't think she would mind if you show her your true self Grena'.
'How did you know what I was thinking?'.
'Mind magic, comes with the key remember'.
'Even so, I still need the power to protect her. she don't know what is coming her way and I'm fed up being weak. I'm not going to become what I was centuries ago. Never again.'
Aqi could see the darkness taking hold of his heart. What could she do? She have try everything to put some sense into this guy but none works because of his indespicable obsession over power. All he ever thought is the weak shall fall and the strong shall rise. Aqi couldn't blame him though. His past can explain why he feel that way.
'I'll be leaving. Thanks gor talking to me Aqi'.
Aqi couldn't stop him from his astray path. She has try every thing she can but it's not enough and that is why she is stress. She feel like the whole world hate her for some reason. Aqi sigh when she remember about yesterday. It get her gloomy and now everybody is concern with her.
'Grena, where are you?', she mumble.
Grena sit in one of the sit near the Lakilaki pond. It's sure is calming sitting here and do nothing. He feel really sad for what he just said to her that night. She must have hate him right in the guts. Oh how sad and miserable he can be. He just hurt the most trusted friend in his life.
'What are you doing at the lake in this kind of hour Grena?'.
Grena turn around. Yes, it's her alright. The blue maiden.
Grena smile sheepishly, he really can't answer that question. The girl take a seat rigth next to him.
Her long straight hair and the golden crown on her head, her navy blue eyes. All of them are very elegant.
She is wearing her nightgown dress and a pair of glass slippers. It seems she just wake up for her nice sleep.
'Grena, you have the ability to transalate a dream didn't you?'.
'Yes, I do. Why?'.
'Well, I have a dream that a dark dragon destroy everything. He sucked every single soul and he destroy Lumira. Then I see a group of mages coming in and save us all but the water mage. He enrage the great crystal princess and they are trap in some kind of battle underneath our garden and the place they will fight call 'Death case'. I want to find out about this death case but somehow when I ask everyone in the castle, they say that's just a myth. But I believe there will be the place where our hopes for survival hangs in balance. Because that place will be the place the crystal princess choose her way. Dark or light.'
Grena look the girl straight in the eyes. He knows she is serious and he knows something that the girl don't know. Grena look up towards the skies. He really mess up that badly if she dreamt that badly.
'Aqua, did you see me anywhere in your dream?'. Aqua twitch, she knows where he is but she just can't believe what she sees.
Maybe just a mind play. Grena try again but she still won't open her mouth. He has no more ideas to make her spill the beans so he decided just to continue with his problems.
Grena knows nothing about trust and acceptance, all he ever knows is hatred and vain.
'Aqua, if you have trick someone for their own sake do you think that's a right decision?'.
'That a stupid one.'
'Why?'.
'Because whatever reason we are doing, if we lie it will hurt the person more than we can imagine even though we say that's for their own good. We need to think back, are we really doing it for their sake or for our own. Sometimes people think they did it for others sake but instead they are hurting them even more and they are hurting themselves. Why all of sudden Grena?'.
'I have a friend that I treasure since I was a kid. I want to protect her but I was too weak so I decided to take a black path and in the end I become her bodyguard but after years the path bite me back when they want me doing something that could corrupt the world. If I don't they will reveal that I was a weakling and my friend will never like me like usual'.
Aqua could see the trouble face. Aqua knows everything. Grena knows that fact too, that's why he didn't feel very much trouble when talking to the maiden.
Even if he try to hide it, she will still know what is hidden and what is not in any spirit heart. That's how powerful she is. She also has this ability that can predict the future but in a dream way.
'What is your friend like? Tell me all about her'.
'Well, she really a considerate person. She never leave anyone back even though that person hurt her in every single way. She's very strong and she like the light itself, always shine up darkness in everyone heart. If she's sad, everyone around her will notice. She's also very loyal and trustworthy. She very energetic and sometimes can be very destructive. That's happen when one of her friends is in danger. That's all I can say about her'.
Aqua take a deep breath before she explain everything to this lost spirit. If one words went wrong that means an end to him. 'I don't understand'.
'What?'.
'I don't understand your problem?'.
'Like I said-'.
'That's not what I mean, why do you feel so worried if she is someone that never left anyone behind even though they hurt her, and yet you feel woried that she might left you. Well, yes she will be mad but not for long. If you can explain everything. I can guarantee that she will forgive you but that will take time. Will you accept the time Grena?'.
Grena look into the lake. 'Yes,' he's face turn calm. He feel at aease when he hears the words coming out of Aqua mouth.
She's very talented in giving advices and Grena owe her alot of time.
'Clink,clank', they could hear a high heel boots stomping from behind. They know very well whom that person is.
'Aqua!!! What are you doing here?'.
'Nothing much'.
The girl sigh. She wears a fluffy night gown dress in the color of pink, she have a long straight hair that reach her shoulder and a hairclip in the shape of a cloud, she have tiny cute little ram like horns. Fun fact about her, she like high heels very much, she even wears them to bed. The pink girl take a seat near Grena.
'Ari-hime? What are you doing here?'.
'Will you quit sounds so shocked Grena!', she make her famous irritating face.
'I heard what you guys talking about. Sorry I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I just simply heard it by chance. Grena, you say she is your childhood friend but you never think her that way did you'.
Grena feel shocked when Ari-hime says that. True, he never thought Layla as his childhood friend but...
'Yes, so what'.
'You never trust her like she trust you. You think she wouldn't accept you for who you are but when you talk about her it's a total opposite. You know who she is but you don't trust her for who she really are. All you ever think her as a cruel mistress or friend that will never accept you. What a shame.'
'Sorry', Grena mouthed.
Ari-hime stand up and jump into the cold lake, she pull Aqua by her wrist, that makes the two of them soaked wet. Aqua really hate it when she is soaked wet during the night.
Grena chuckle when he sees the two teen girls about his age laughing and having a great time. Grena could feel the same and dangerous aura from the bushes behind him. He sigh, the time has come to make the kill.
'I'll handle the pesky fairies meanwhile you handle the bird', the black man smirk.
Grena change, half of his body fill with tatoos in the color of black and and red. Hir white hair turn into balck and hid right eyes are red in color.
'Let's get this over with'.
