Chapter 10: Auld Lang Syne

When I was younger, I dreamed of going on an adventure. An adventure where I could be someone but me. To be brave and wild. To talk and walk without worrying about who was watching or gossiping about me. An adventure to be a hero like Sailor Moon or a Pokémon trainer like Ash Ketchum. To take flight to Neverland or talk to a disappearing cat, one such as Cheshire. I dreamed of having wings like a dragon or a mermaid's tail. Exploring the world under the see or beyond the stars. To be my own person, ya know...

To have magic...

Now that I do have magic and an adventure...do I regret it?

Well I guess time will tell, right?

(Twenty One days after the fight with Vivian)

"Come on King! Is that the best you can throw?!"

"Just you wait, Blondie!"

"Me too! Me too! I wanna play!"

Snow...

When I first saw real snow, it was in the mountains. It was everywhere. On the ground and in the trees. I thought it was pretty and I wanted to throw myself at it. Then latter, I realize it was cold and wet. Not something to stay forever in. The second time I saw real snow...I had moved from the sunny state. I could remember how surprise I was to watch it fall from the sky. Remember getting off of work and running to the window with amazement. Still pretty and wet, though...

Now, here I am. In Britannia, watching my teammates, my friends play with six-year-old Arthur in the snow. Watching as they threw snow at each other laughing. I was curled up on one of the chairs inside, looking out the window with a blanket wrapped up tightly around me. My head resting on my hand, my arm on the chair's arm rest and the other holding a cup of hot chamomile tea. My brown, slightly wavy hair cupping my face as I smiled softly. I wanted to join in on their fun but I knew better. With my weak body, I was just asking for a fever.

"They seem to be having fun."

My ears perked as I looked behind me in surprise. "Merlin?"

"Good afternoon, Echo."

Merlin...the Boar Sin of Gluttony of the Seven Deadly Sins. As known as the owner of this beautiful house we're staying in. Her black hair swayed around her shoulders as she walked toward me. She was dressed in a blue dress that dragged across the grown, feet clacking on the ground with each step she took. Her golden eyes watching me as she took off her white gloves. She was beautiful as she was dangerous. Though I couldn't really take her seriously with her old armor on her. Not even after the fight with Vivian.

"You're back." I smiled at her, wiggling in my seat. "Arthur missed you."

She smiled back and took a seat in front of me. "I have missed him as well. How are you Echo? Still under the weather?"

I shrugged and looked back out of the window. "I'm fine. Just a bit tired...don't worry about me."

She hummed and joined me at staring out the window. Together, we watched King fly up to one of the tree's and grabbed its branches. Watched as he pulled the branch up and let go. I covered my mouth to stop myself from laughing to hard as the others were drown in snow. King crackled at their squeals and shrieks. Then he looked up towards us and grin. Crouching down on the branch with one hand being used as balance, he waved at us with excitement. I wave back with a wide grin. He then cupped his hands around his mouth as if to make himself louder. Only to get smack in the head with two different snowballs. I watched with a small giggle as he shrieked and fell.

"My, my, they seem to be having fun." Merlin chuckled, brushing her hair out of her face with the back of her left hand.

"They are, aren't they?"

"Echo?"

"Hm?"
"There's something I like to ask you."

I turned to look at the older woman, who looked so serious after a display of heartfulness. I felt myself shrink under her golden eyes. I scratched behind my ear, where the use to be bumps now became harder. (Almost scale like...but that's impossible after all, I'm human.) I felt myself become unease.

"Merlin?"

"You're not from here are you?" She asked lending forward, hands going her chin.

I shrugged. I felt as if I knew what she was talking about but at the same time I didn't. Did she mean here as in this house or village? Or did she mean...that I'm not from this world? Whatever she meant, she had me on edge.

"Do you wish to go back?"

Back?

"If I said I had the power to send you back...would you take it?"

I looked at her wide eyed. To send me back home? To my mom...my sisters? To leave this place and never look back...is that what I want? I pulled out my cellphone and looked at it. I wasn't from this world. Not where fairies and giants exist or magic roams free. This was not my world.

"Can you?" I asked softly, looking up under my eyelashes. "Can you send me back home?"

She smirked. "If that's what you truly want."

With a snap of her fingers, her sacred treasure Morning Star Aldan floated next to her. A crystal ball that looked black and turquoise spinning around in the air. You could feel that power radiating from it.

I looked back out the window at the three laugh and playing.

"I...I...I choose..."

"Hey, where's Echo's stuff?" King asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Echo always has her stuff next to mine and now it's gone."

"Did you check the closet?"

"Yes! It wasn't there! I check everywhere!"

I rolled my eyes and walked out with a tray of hot chocolate. "Did you check the room next door?"

"Echo!"

"Really guys? I don't always have to share a room with King, ya know." I hand each and every shivering person a mug. "I am a woman after all. I need some privacy to myself."

King looked confuse. "What's wrong with sharing a room with me? We been doing it for a while."

I gave him a look.

"Oh, I know. I know!" Arthur yelled waving his hand in the air cutely. "She's a girl!"

"That's right Arthur. I am a girl." I continued to glare at my male friend. Who just smiled sheepishly. "Anyways, drink up and then take a shower. Don't want you to get sick."

"But I'm cleeeean!" Arthur whined.

"Ah, but playing in the snow can get you sick." Alicia said before taking a sip.

Arthur pouted and turned his back to us. I giggle and ruffled his hair. He let out another whine and swat at my hand like a kitten. Merlin then walked in from her lab, her finger press against her mouth. King covered his, to keep from laughing out loud.

"Now Arthur." Merlin teased, causing the young boy to gasp. "Are you misbehaving?"

"Miss. Merlin!" Arthur squealed as he ran towards her. "You're back!"

She tossed her head back with laugher as she picked him up. "I was only gone for three hours, child."

He gave her his most serious pout. "That's too long but don't you worry. I took good care of them."

"Oh really?" She raised a delicate eyebrow.

"Yes. King was a bit of trouble but I got it under control."

"Hey!"

Everyone snickered at King's pout. This was a good choice...staying here with them. I guess the family have to wait just a little longer for me to come home.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' lang syne!

You know...I don't think anime did snow justice. It was better to see in person, the snow falling from the night sky. Curled on a coach or sofa, next to a fireplace with a good book. At least that how it felt where I am now. Listening to the fire crackle as I read through my spell book.

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

"Echo?"

I looked up to see King at the doorway, rubbing his eye. I looked at him in surprise before smiling.

"Hey King." I greeted with a small wave. "Why are you up?"

"I could ask you the same thing." He yawned and walked over to me. He took one look at the book in my hand and frown. "Echo...are you-"

I shook my head and patted the space next to me. "No King, I'm not practicing. Merlin would have my head if I did."

King huffed and threw himself down with his eyes close. "Good."

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne.

I rolled my eyes and nudged him. He opened one eye to look at me and nudged back. Soon we were nudging each back and forth, giggling. I raised my foot and nudge him hard enough for him to fall to the side with a soft 'oof'. King squawked grabbing my foot and start to tickle it.

"No! Let goooo." I squealed, trying to shake him off.

"Never!" He hissed playfully.

We twa hae paidl't in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.

I jabbed his side making him squeal back and continued to tickle him. He squirmed and giggled as he tried to push me off. We continued this for a few more minutes before I slumped back exhausted. King then followed, body shaking with giggles and panting for air. Which only led me to start giggling again. The orange-brown haired fairy wrinkled his nose at me and laid on top of me.

"Oof! Your heavy." I whined, not even trying to push him off. "Get off tiny hippo."

"Not a tiny hippo." He grunted, putting more weight on me.

"Yeah right." I muttered, wrapping my arms around him.

We laid there in silence before King let out a loud yawn.

"Someone's sleepy."

King didn't reply as he yawned again and nuzzled my neck. I squirmed a little as he's short hair tickled me under my chin. I looked down as best as I could without moving my head completely. A smile stretched across my face as I tighten my grip and kissed the top of his head.

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine,
And we'll tak a right guid willie-waught
For auld lang syne!

"Merry Christmas King Harlequin. Sweet dreams."

And surely ye'll be your pint' stoup,
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
