Mid Summers Day
Chapter 1
It had been a while since Will had closed the window and saw her. Will now lived in a flat in Oxford with his mother. Dr. Mary Malone lived just next door. His life drastically changed when he left his one true love, He had gone back with Mary to her flat and had a cup of tea and the longest shower known to man. He then, immediately called Mrs. Cooper and found that his mother was fine and still in her care. He thanked Mrs. Cooper for her help and asked her to put his mother on a bus to Oxford the next day. He offered to pay her for her troubles but she refused, she had enjoyed having another woman in the house. His mother arrived the next day as happy and as normal as she had ever been. Will had told her all about his journey through the worlds. His meeting with Lyra in the haunted world of Cittagazze, his travels with the witches, the angels, and Iorek Byrnison the armoured bear, and his trip through the world of the dead. Then he told his mother about meeting his father. His father had disappeared when he was a year old. He told her how his father had cured his wound from the subtle knife and how they had only realized each other's true identities as the witches arrow struck his heart,
"He turned down her love, mum. He was faithful to you 'till the end." His mother smiled, she'd always known that in her heart, and she was faithful to him as well. And of course, he told her about Lyra. He didn't have to say how much he loved Lyra, she could tell by the way his face lit up when he said her name. Dr. Malone had introduced her self and told her about her time with the Mulfa, and how it Lyra and Will had stopped the heavy flood of Dust and saved life as we know it. And life went on. Will missed Lyra terribly but he knew she was safe and he still had his Daemon Kirjava with him. He left the flat around 9 AM and arrived at the Botanic Gardens on Mid Summer's Day, just like he had promised, what seemed like eons ago. He sat on his favourite bench just under the place where he had last seen her tear streaked face.
"Oh, Kirjava," he sighed "I can hardly stand this. How can we live our life with out her?" He knew Kirjava didn't have the answer. He had asked her many times before, never expecting an answer. He had been sitting there for about an hour when he felt it, a little pull, a twinge at the side of his heart. 'It was Lyra' he thought. 'In her world she is sitting with me, I can feel her presence.' Kirjava's fur had ruffled when Will had felt it
"Lyra" they said together. They were one again, even if they were, quite literally, worlds apart.
