A Whisper In The Night

And with a whisper,
The wind carried her off into the sunset,
To the land of her dreams
A place she never could have imagined was really there
Like the place over Dorothy's rainbow
She flew to her hidden place over the clouds and beyond the sun
The depths of her heart and the waters of her tears
Where she could conquer her fears
And live out the dreams she'd only ever dreamt possible.

"Oh Helios," The little girl sighed as she held the jewel decorated chalice in her hands.

"What is it my precious little girl?" The globe lit up as Pegasus appeared to her. "What's on your mind princess?"

"Oh nothing. It's just that everything about growing up is so confusing." Rini stared off into space for a while and heard footsteps coming from below. She sat in silence, not moving, until the sound was gone before turning back to Pegasus. "Pegasus, do you think it's possible to be in love…" Her voice trailed off, a slight blush on her face.

"What is it my little one?" Pegasus whispered softly, sweetly as she folded her arms next to the globe and laid her head on top of them, listening to every word he said.

"It's just. I get this feeling when I'm with this… this guy. Do you think… do you think it could be love?" Rini finally sputtered, a far off look in her eyes as she looked at Pegasus, awaiting her answer. And had she been paying closer attention, she would have seen him wince, and the pain that passed over his face.

"Well Rini. I can't tell you what you feel in your heart." Pegasus smiled. "But if it is true love, you'll know it." He looked up to see Rini's eyes shutting. 'And that boy doesn't know how lucky he is.'

In the oaken woods,
With the wind at her back,
And the wings to fly,
She looked to the hills,
With a distant hope
She looked to the sky and the trees above her
Before looking back to see the blinding light
So bright,
A majestic white
The man of her dreams was there to fly with her
And prepared to catch her,
If she happened to fall.

Rini was running again, running down the streets of Tokyo, towards her new dream world, towards Pegasus's home. "Pegasus." She called as she came to a walk. But as she looked around, she couldn't find Pegasus anywhere. "Pegasus? Where are you?"

Tears splashed from the young girl's eyes as she fell to her knees. "Pegasus, why'd you leave?" Then there was a soft breeze from behind her. She sniffed and wiped her eyes dry before standing. She swallowed hard and turned to face Pegasus. A bright blush spread across her face as she averted her eyes.

Pegasus nudged Rini's cheek, causing the blush to spread before she wrapped her arms around him. "Pegasus, about what I asked you…" She asked, her voice whispering to him alone, the sweet melody playing in his ears.

"Yes, Rini, what is it?" Pegasus asked as he backed away far enough to see her face again. His eyes were flooded with concern, but Rini didn't notice, as she was too busy looking at her feet.

"Well, how do you know… you know, how do you know if he feels the same way?" Rini asked, her voice very small and unsure as she spoke.

And to him alone, she could speak her heart
And speak her mind
And trust him with her love
But what if he grew up faster than she
Would she lose him to the world
Or to another
But that would break her heart
But what was she
A fool?
A fool awaiting a broken heart?

"Rini." He nudged her one more time, softly to her chin. "You have such beautiful dreams for such a young girl. I suppose there are many ways one could tell." Pegasus stopped himself before he could continue.

"Pegasus. Did I say something wrong?" Rini asked backing away, afraid she had hurt his feelings.

Pegasus slowly shook his head. "No, my child. It's nothing. It's just…" Rini stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around him again. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them, before her stood a boy, a little older than her.

"Rini, this is me. I am Helios." He smiled and wrapped his arms around her and held her for a moment. "Like this." He smiled and then, inch by inch, their faces got closer, and then there lips touched, so softly, and innocently.

And like that
A dream
A whisper in the wind
Her dreams unfolded before her eyes
The truth finally shown
And in this place where dreams roam free
Her heart and soul
Would always be.
