All is fair in Love and War
Chapter One: No Goodbyes...
"Helios?" Rini asked shyly, as the young priest held the princess' hand brushing her knuckles against his lips. Helios was preparing to see her one last time in her dreams after he flew away in the afternoon, where all her family and friends greeted him goodbye.
Helios wanted a special goodbye for her, a one she would remember. None of them knew the next time they would be seeing each other but Rini knew this was his last goodbye for a long time.
Helios took her flying through Elysion and made her see all the life that she never knew existed before Nehelania attacked. Rini found it breathtakingly beautiful, just like the Pegasus she saw on that lonely day when Rini helped him, and in return, he helped her.
He smiled at down at her, knowing it would be harder to leave if she saw his resolve breaking. "Yes, my little one?"
"You won't forget me will you?"
"Oh Rini…how could I forget such a brave, smart, beautiful dreamer like you?"
The eight year old rushed into Helios' arms. Her heart felt like it was getting pulled in five different places. "Helios, please don't leave me. I need you…I'll miss you…" at this Rini couldn't hold on to her tears anymore and started to cry.
Helios hugged her tighter shutting his eyes at the warm contact. "And I you...but I must Rini. Elysion needs their priest to protect their dreams… I need to protect your dreams." His voice cracked as a couple of tears fell onto her cheek.
Rini looked up with water eyes, seeing all the emotion he tried to hold on, to help ease her pain. Suddenly the princess leaned up grabbing the courage to kiss the priest on the lips.
"Please Helios…come back to me soon…" she whispered in her mind as the kiss was slowly ending. He was the one to let go first, knowing that if he didn't get to Elysion soon, he would start to slowly fade.
"Rini, Elysion is calling me…I need to go now." He looked at her eyes, she couldn't trust herself to speak while she nodded, trying to smile. He transformed into Pegasus again, lifting his wings into the air.
"Goodbye my precious Rini, you will always have a place in my heart." Rini wiped her tears, smiling and waving.
Watching as he disappeared in the pink fluffy clouds she clasped her hands together tightly to her heart.
"No goodbyes Helios…only love…"
