~One Season Ago~
Chapter One
Queen Clarion
A sinister voice could be heard echoing in the distance, I looked around but I could not see anyone. "Clarion," the voice called.
"Who's there?" I answered. I tried to hide how scared I was of this mysterious voice. All of a sudden I felt a searing pain in my left side and fell to the ground. When I looked down I had a gaping hole in my side, with a black arrow sticking out of the middle, and it was gushing blood. There was something in the arrow, like poison, but not any poison I had ever seen before, it was made of Dark Magic. As hot tears rolled down my cheeks I could hear the voice laughing maniacally, the black poison flowed through my blood and turned my wings black, choking me.
I jolted awake from my dream, with tears still flowing from my eyes. I checked my side, and to my relief it was not bleeding. "It was just a dream" I whispered to myself. I wiped my tears and got dressed for the day ahead. As I put up my hair I couldn't help but wonder why I had such a dream, or who that voice came from….
As I walked out of my room and headed down the stairs, I could hear arguing. I listened carefully and realized it was the minister of Spring and my love, Lord Milori. "You need to watch what you say about your Queen" I could hear Milori say.
"I love her and I will not let you take her away from me" minister of Spring said with a hint of fear in his voice. The next thing I heard was the sound of a fist connecting with flesh. I raced down to make sure everyone was okay, and there was Hyacinth, knocked out cold on the ground, with Milori at his side. "What happened?" I asked in an Authoritative tone. Milori jumped at the sound of my voice and as he turned around I saw he had a black eye. I covered my mouth to hold back a gasp, seeing my big, strong sparoman with a black eye was quite a shock. As I inspected his face, the eye that wasn't swollen shut seemed to be fading from and odd gold color back to his normal lucious brown. "Oh Clarion I had no idea you were here… what all did you hear?" Milori said, looking at his feet.
"Enough." I replied a little irritated, "And what is wrong with your eyes, they were changing colors."
Milori then stepped over Hyacinth to get closer to me, "it was just a reflection of your beautiful golden wings." He then came closer and kissed me passionately. As our lips parted I asked Milori what had happened. "Well," Milori started to explain, "Hyacinth confronted me last night. He was upset with me because he thinks I stole you away from him," at this his eyebrows furrowed in a look of confusion, "We argued for awhile, then on his way out he punched me in the eye, and before I could react, Hyacinth was gone." I looked at my love with sorrow in my eyes. "Oh Milori, I will have to talk to him about this, it's so not like him."
I looked down at the floor where Hyacinth was still passed out, "Milori?" I asked.
"Yes love?" Milori answered, hearing the sadness in my voice.
"What happened today? Don't you dare lie to me, I need to know." I questioned, pointing a finger at his chest.
Milori paused for a moment, then said, "I tried to talk to him about last night and he called you a…" he sighed.
"Milori." I pleaded with a stern look in my eyes.
"He called you a Banshee" he said with irritation in his voice.
Seeing the hurt in my eyes he quickly said, "I couldn't let that stand, so I punched him without thinking…" he hesitated for a moment then looked deeply into my eyes, pouring love into the words, "Clarion, I love you, I would do anything for you." A single tear of sorrow and happiness ran down my cheek, for I knew I had someone who loved me dearly. "Thank you Milori, but next time come to me before you hit anyone, we can't lose any ministers" I said giggling a little.
"Of course my love" he agreed before kissing me once again.
When our lips separated, he asked, "what are we going to do about Hyacinth?"
I looked down suddenly remembering he was there, "I will think of something, for now let's call the healing talent fairies… Just in case you hurt him."
"I agree." Milori stated simply as he called the healing talent fairies to tend to the minister.
After the minister of Spring, still unconscious, and the healing fairies left, Milori and I went down to breakfast. As we were eating I couldn't help but wonder if the minister's behavior had anything to do with my dream…
