The Freedom of the Fates

"What the hell did she do?" Dark swore as the room began to ripple and shimmer like a heatwave.

"Why do I not doubt for a second that this is in someway your fault?" Krad snarled back, bringing his arms up to protect his face from the wind swirling around The Fortune of Fates.

"Oh so now you're defending her!" Dark yelled looking worriedly at the pale body sprawled at the foot of the statue. "This wouldn't be happening if you hadn't tried to kill her!"

"If you hadn't taken it upon yourself to steal priceless Hikari artefacts this wouldn't be happening either!" Krad retorted his expression mirroring Dark's as he looked at Ella "Will it comfort you to know that I'm concerned for the girl's welfare now?"

"Not really!"

The tear on the closest Fate's face began to glow impossibly bright, sending a bright beam to connect directly with Ella's temple. Ella's limp body was lifted into the air, cocooned in an orb of silvery sparkles.

"Ella!" Dark shot forward, only to be beaten back by a net of light created by the rainbow. Both he and Krad watched in dread as the marble on the woman began to melt and run, pooling stickily at her feet like tar. Her silver hair flowed like a river over her shoulders, concealing her bowed head. Her black draped arms reached out and caught Ella as the silver light released her and a single tear ran down the women's cheek as she straightened. Her opal eyes glinted like a cat's in the darkness and she looked around her surroundings in amazement.

"I am free." The woman murmured, as the tear ran off her face and landed on her sister's hand, which clutched her black silk skirt. "I am free!" The crystal shattered, falling to the ground in a glittering heap. Celeste bent to hold her sister's shuddering body to her chest, laying Ella on her lap between them. She clutched the other woman's velvet draped shoulder's, shaking her slightly.

"Celeste?" the woman raised her head wearily.

"Arielle! We are freed! At last we are freed!"
