Cupids POV
Darkness. It was all I could see. What I could remember was a little fuzzy. What I was feeling… was sadness. Like there was something missing, but I couldn't grasp on to it. When I opened my eyes, I was looking at the moon. It was so big and bright, and it gave me comfort and chased away the darkness. I soon realised that I was floating in the air. But I felt peaceful and not alarmed. When I looked at my surroundings, I saw great big columns decorated with white diamonds, and then I saw a central pillar decorated in delicate patterns, it was light grey with deep red and pink jewels. The only thing that was off about it was, it was hanging from the ceiling, and as far as I could tell, I was 500 metres below. My feet soon touched the ground (it surprised me that it felt so soft). I was backing up to see if there was any stairs leading to the pillar, when something brushed against my foot. I looked down and saw a bow. It had swirls decorating the wood, which had a soft pink glow to it. I reached down to pick it up when something flew past my ear. Startled I jumped back in shock. Then something crashed into my cheek, it then fell to the ground beside me. I took a close look at it, and it had beautiful white feathers decorating its entire body apart from its face which looked like a baby's face. And then I noticed it wings on its back, like an angel, but overall it looked like a dove. It suddenly flew right up to my face, and now that I could see it properly, I could see that it was quite pale but had rosy lips and strangely, pink eyes. But it was pretty cute. I then heard a little buzz above my head and I saw thousands of them, even more in fact. I gasped and stepped back to admire them and before I knew it I was at the edge of my platform and heard a squeak behind me. It was the little dove that crashed into my cheek. I then noticed the drop with many platforms below, but I also noticed little feathers on my ankles. Suddenly they starred flapping and I was lifted into the air. I wasn't expecting it and was so off balance that I went and crashed into a column. I fell down to my original platform next to my bow. For some reason I was very cautious not to touch it, but my little dove hybrid was beside me, giving me encouraging squeaks, which for some reason, I understood perfectly. I hesitantly picked it up, and suddenly I saw flash backs of my past life, red sparks came out of me, and I saw feathers grow around my wrists and up to my elbows. And I saw my shoulder length hair go from its blonde colour to a dark red. Panicked I twirled round and started flying again, this time with more control. It suddenly stopped, and now I had more control of flying, I zoomed up to the central pillar and saw that it was hollow inside and it gave a fantastic view of the overall palace, which was huge, which was mostly coloured as whites and greys but had pink and red dotted everywhere. I entered the pillar and saw a globe of the world in the middle with thousands of pink dots, at first I didn't understand, a little in shock form my memories and flying experience, but then a small group of dove hybrids explained that they were people who were in love, with a person, family, hobbies. It was quite complicated but fascinating. They also told me that I couldn't create love only give it oomph, so that people could feel it. Then in the corner of my eye there was a bag full of arrows with pink feathers and a pointed end. I asked my little helpers, who described themselves as cherubs, what they were used for, I remembered there being some arrows in my flash back. The cherubs told me that they were used to administer the love without getting too close, they also told me that I could feel love and so know when to give it to the right people. I then felt a tugging sensation pulling me east. I grabbed my arrows and leapt off the platform and flew to the bottom of the palace and straight through the floor. How did I do that you ask? Well, the whole palace is made of clouds, which is brilliant. As I get out into the nights air I see other cherubs flying to and from the cloud palace. I changed course and headed North West. I landed in a place, which was busy and so I decided to keep on flying until I found my targets. I knew their names but had never met them before . Martha and Thomas. They had been really good friends for a long time and have grown really close. I pulled out two arrows, took aim and fired. They hit their targets perfectly. This place was less crowded so I landed in an ally way so then I didn't look too weird landing in a crowd of people. I started walking around.
' Hello there!' I said. They just kept walking. 'Well, not too polite are you.' I wanted to know where I was and was about to ask a boy when a girl rushed right through me to talk to him. I had to catch my breath. And went to touch the girl on the shoulder, but my hand went right through her and the boy. I backed away into a kid and his sister and walked right through them. I backed away and flew up into the air and landed next to a lake. I went to the water's edge. I saw my reflection. Pink eyes and dark red hair, and some white dove feathers in my hair. Pale skin and rosy lips. I wasn't human anymore; sure I had some features of a mortal, but I stood out to them. I flew to the sky and looked at the moon.
'WHY! Why did you agree?! Why can't they see me?' I sobbed. The moon gave no answer. So I flew off back home.
You may be asking who am I. Well, my name is Cupid St. Valentines. How do I know that? The moon told me so, and that's all he ever told me, and that was a really really long time ago.
