It was a fairly dark night, the lake illuminated by the moon's light. She crept by the shore of the bay, her toes lightly evading the fallen leaves with the feet of a dancer's. She halted at the water's edge, calling out to her lover like so;
"YO! KURENO! YOU OUT THERE?! 'CAUSE I REALLY GOTTA TALK TO YA!"
And so her lover, the one called Kureno, drifted down on his brown, glossy wings. The small sparrow chirped and rested a wing on her leg as she sat on a rock.
"Yeah, yeah, great to see you too. I have a serious problem on my hands and I need your worthless advice."
Seeing the bird's head bow, she smiled at him comfortingly. "Don't worry. It may not look like it, but I think you're the best doofus ever!"
Coming from Crown Princess Arisa Beatrice Cassandra Delliah Emmaline Francis Grace Helen Isa Jessica Kathleen Margaret, he took that statement as a complement.
"So,ItoldmydadatdinnerthatIwantedtomarryyoubutyouw ereasparrowandhefreakedoutandsentmetomyroomsoI'mno tsupposedtobehere,butIam."
Kureno pause for a moment, putting in mental spaces, and finally answered, "Well, are we going to be married or what? I'm really confused."
"Yes! No? Gah!" Arisa screamed. "That's it! I'm gonna go punch that stupid wizard Akito where it hurts!" She rose to her feet then stopped short.
"Kureno," she whispered.
"Yes?" he whispered back.
"The lake's shining under the moon."
Kureno started in alarm. "I must get back, I must get back." He repeated.
"Yes, yes, go, go!"
Arisa grabbed the bird by his legs and tossed him towards the pool of shining, shimmering pond. He landed quite awkwardly under the moon's blue rays.
It happened all at once. The moon's light turned and twisted and folded over itself and on top of Kureno, who raised his head over the light, trying to see Arisa's waving hand. There was a blinding flash, and the glaze faded out, showing an eerie, empty lake.
Arisa turned back to the castle and was almost to her room when she realized that the moon that night was a half-moon.
His life was almost over with.
Doesn't make any sense, right? Which is why you should wait for the next chapter! ;D
