Strange story. It's kind of confusing, switching from one time to
the other. Based on some cartoon I watched with my little
cousin. Gave me inspiration ^_~

She was walking home from the library with a pile of books
in her arm; or at least attempted to, she was slowly tipping over after all,
when she turned a corner and bumped into someone.
The books fell out of her arms and onto the ground. She
sighed and bend down to pick it up. "Sorry, I didn't see you
there." A male voice said. She shook her head, not even looking
at him. "That's all right, it was my fault any...." She lost her
voice as she looked up and saw a pair of mesmerizing blue eyes
looking back at her. She felt her face grew hot. The guy was
definately cute. "Are you OK?" He asked with a smile.
She thought she'd be frozen on the spot for eternity. She just nodded,
not trusting her voice. He picked up the last of her books.
Reading the title, he turned to her and raised an eyebrow.
"Plato? Deep stuff for a fourteen year old." He remarked.
Her eyes flashed with anger, "I don't think so." She said with the
coolest voice she could muster, grabbing the book out of his hand.
"Whoa! easy does it! I just don't see girls reading his works
that often. Especially at your age." He said. She looked at him and
nearly gasped when she looked into is eyes. She had once read that
to find a person with a good heart, you look into their eyes and
the depth inside their eyes would tell their stories like no words
can. And what she saw in his eyes she couldn't explain, but it
enraptured her more than any book could ever do. She saw something
in them, something that made her search for a memory that perhaps
never exsisted. She looked away,
blushing. "You have to forgive me," she began.
"People told me that more than once all ready. I just lose my temper
everytime I hear someone say I shouldn't be reading these books or
they've never seen anyone read these books other then myself." She
explained. He nodded. "I think it's wonderful anyone would ever
read this." He told her, pointing at the books. She looked surprised.
"You should read Castles of Dreams, I find it fascinating." He added, before
smiling and turning to leave. She stood like a statue, watching after
him. After coming out of her trance, she found that her heart was
pounding. 'What's wrong with me?' She asked herself.
As she once again turned to see the retreating man, she shook her head
and walked on home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenity walked quietly towards the woods. Once again, her mother
had shouted at her for not doing her chores right. She growled
under her breath, brushing the golden hair from her eyes.
Her mother never complimented her work. Not once.
There was only one place that could make her feel so serene.
How odd it was for her name to be Serenity, yet she was most
rebellious in every way. As she walked towards the placid pool,
she took a good look around before letting out a loud whistle.
She looked to the sky and sure enough, a golden falcon swooped
down and landed on her shoulder. She smiled.
"Good morning to you too, Apollo." She greeted the falcon.
The crescent moon on the falcon's forehead glowed.
Serenity giggled. "Dumb bird! No one is around!" She exclaimed.
After receiving a look from the falcon she let out a defeated sigh.
"All right, all right. You are free to speak." She said in a most
melodious voice. "Thank heavens." Came a deep voice.
"Honestly, Apollo, why such hush-hush? No one ever come through these
woods." Serenity said, rather annoyed.
"Forgive me, milady, but I do believe anyone could follow you, since
you do come here everyday." The falcon said.
Serenity sighed and sat on the rock near the pool. "Apollo?" She asked.
"Yes, Serenity?"
"Do you believe, in fate?" She asked softly, looking at the falcon.
"Yes, I do. For I believe things you humans never will." He replied.
"I certainly believe in everything. We live in a land where we see
dragons, pegasus and griffins flying in the air. Where sorcerers
and sorceress practice their magic, where the faith in magic
is strong and where everything is possible." Spoke the girl.
"You do, Serenity. Not everyone believe in everything they see.
Even though they've seen almost everything there is to see." Told
Apollo. Serenity half glared at the falcon. "Apollo, you can
be so-" Her voice was cut off by a loud growl. Her eyes flew instantly
to the sky. She gasped. "A black dragon!" She shouted.
The black, scaly beast swooped down from the air, having seen the girl.
Its wings flapped madly as it flew down with top speed towards
the girl. It opened its mouth, bearing it's razor-sharp teeth,
ready to let out a stream of fire. Serenity ran, though she knew she
could never escape the beast. She dared herself to take one last
look back, to see the dragon about to fry her. She squeezed her eyes shut.
Nothing happened.
She stumbled to the ground and looked back.
A knight was now fighting off the creature. Though he didn't look
like any knight she had ever seen. His armour was dark blue with a
strange insignia on the front. His nightly hair and sky blue eyes
completed the picture. He was fighting the creature not with his sword,
but with magic! And none of the knights she has ever seen used magic.
Dark blue lights flew out of his hands, hitting the dragon many times.
The beast, having protective skin, looked unimpressed. And it opened
its mouth again, ready to let out a fire stream for a second time,
to a different prey. The knight smiled cunningly. And once more,
he let out a blue light to the dragon, though this time, it went
down the beast's throat. It made coughing sounds as it flew up
in the air, as high as possible and then exploding to tiny bits.
Serenity was dazed. Apollo flew towards her. "Are you all right?"
He asked. Serenity nodded. "Y-yes. I-I believe I a-am." She stuttered.
The knight smiled with satisfication before approaching her.
"Will you be all right?" He asked with concern. She gazed into
his blue eyes and nodded lamely. Then the knight turned to Apollo.
"Apollo, what were you thinking?" He scolded the falcon.
"Do be patient, Endymion." Apollo said. Endymion took no notice.
"You endangered this poor girl's life! You know very well not to
fly off like that! And as you can see one of Shade's dragons found
you." Endymion chided.
"Endymion! Let me finish!" Screeched the falcon, flying to Serenity.
"Apollo?" She asked softly. With one of his wings, Apollo lifted
off the strands of hair that covered Serenity's forehead. And shining from
her forehead, was a shiny crescent moon, similiar to that of Apollo's.
Endymion stared in shock. "She's the chosen one." Announced Apollo.

She walked into the library, with the intentions of finding some
resourceful books for her History assignment. She approached the
librarian. "Excuse me but do you know," she began and before she
knew it, "A book called Castles of Dreams?"
She was startled to hear what she just said. The librarians just smiled
politely. "Of course." She said, before leading her to where the novels
are and handing her a book. "A very good book. I've read it a thousand
times." She remarked, before going back to her desk, sorting out some
papers. The girl looked at the book. On the front cover was a girl
with flowing golden hair, put up in the most strangest manner.
She swallowed the urge to gasp. The girl's hairstyle was very similar
to her hair style. Flipping the pages open, she went for the nearest table
and began to read.
Hope you liked that. Please take time to review!!
