Of Crests and Planets--Searching Hearts
Unable to sleep for the fourth time in as many nights, the young woman sat in the small alcove at her window, knees pressed to chest as the stars twinkled across the black velvet the clear night let in. Her blue nightgown shimmered in the light from a beautiful crescent moon.
Amelia Mizuno stood quietly in the doorway and watched her blue-haired daughter become lost in the dream world she had taken to inhabiting of late in the quiet early morning hours.
Even though she tried to talk about it with Amy, the young woman wouldn't..or couldn't..explain what had become so important that her sleep had fallen to such secondary importance. Her grades had not dropped, nor had any of her friends mentioned problems the few occasions she had bumped into them about town. But the nightly vigil was beginning to take it's toll on Amy's concentration. On more than one occasion, simple conversations became difficult as Amelia had to repeat herself to catch her daughters' attention.
But even if Amy didn't want to talk about it, Amelia had a clue as to what the problem was; a mothers' intuition was a powerful thing even if unexplainable by modern science.
Amy was lonely; her heart aching for that kind of love that only one special person could give. Not even a mother's love-no matter how powerful or deep-could fill such a void. And that is what frustrated her so much; to be so powerless even knowing the face of the enemy that plagued her daughter's heart.
Easing away quietly, Amelia gently shut the door and walked back to her own room, lost in thought on how to help her daughter.
Sighing softly, Amy cast a sad glance over at the closed door as she hugged her knees closer.
**I'm sorry Mother. I know you want to help, but this is something I have to figure out for myself.**
Looking back out the window and into the night sky, Amy watched the first hints of light ease over the horizon as night slowly gave way to day. Feeling her weariness now as the morning approached, Amy snuggled against the alcove wall and soon was lightly sleeping; her internal search for the missing piece of her heart paused for the moment.
A room away, Amelia slipped back into bed and sighed. Unable to do more for her daughter at the moment, she closed her eyes and for the first time in a long while prayed to whatever powers that be to send her daughter a great love to fill the void in her heart. Finishing, the woman settled down into the covers and drifted off to sleep.
Unseen by the now sleeping Amy, the planet Mercury twinkled brightly in the night sky for a moment before settling back into the sea of velvet it had rested in for so long as the sun began to rise.
Miles away, a young man upon a balcony watched the same sunrise, deep in thoughts of his own.
Matt stood alone gazing up into the dimming stars as his shock of blond hair waived lightly in the early morning breeze. As he tucked the tail of his green tank top into the waistband of his blue pants, the voice he had heard while leaving the Digital World for the last time repeated in his mind.
~~Beware young holder of Friendship. The darkness still lurks in the hidden places. Love is the great key you need to lock it away, but it is also the one thing that will guarantee its victory. Be wary, but be trusting my child for in that trust lies your salvation.~~
**How can love be the key and the danger?** he mused, trying to sort out the meaning of the cryptic warning.
**But what kind of love do I have to be careful of? Is it because I care for my brother so much that if something happens to T.K. the Darkness will win? Or is it the kind of love I have for my mom and dad?**
Sighing, he gently slammed his fists on the railing, unable to figure out what it all could mean. Suddenly, a new thought occurred to him...
**Or is it..maybe..the love someone other than them.. has for me?? Na..that can't be it..can it??** he silently asked the fading stars in the azure sky above.
** Is there really someone out there..someone who could love me that much..for me??**
That final question lingered with Matt for hours as he watched the day unfold in quiet splendor.
A day that would change two lives forever......
TO BE CONTINUED....
Authors Notes:
Hello and welcome to the start of 'Of Crests and Planets'. This story will be a continuation of my other work here, 'Final Destiny, New Beginnings' and starts several hours after the DigiDestined has returned from the DigiWorld in 'FD, NB'. 'Of Crests and Planets' is really kinda hard to describe as one kind of story, but it will be a mixture of themes; Romance/Action Adventure/Fantasy/..maybe even a little crossover. But after all is said and done, I am trying for a honest story that will have two of my favorite characters find a powerful love at last..
A love I think they both truly deserve.
I hope you consider taking the journey with them.
Thanks for reading and reviewing if you get a chance!
Enjoy!!
