But anyway, besides that, I just want to say that, thanks for reading this anyway. Oh yeah, and I want to start an account on LiveJornal, but, I don't know how to post stories, if anyone could help me with that, I would be very grateful. Thanks for reading this, on with the story! Enjoy. (Evean is pronounced: Ev' E' An'. )
Chapter 11: Evean
"Will you be here when I get back?" I asked him.
Allen looked down at me. "I'll be waiting." He closed his eyes and smiled, "Go, you have already delayed enough." I watched him give the Boron a nod then he took a step back.
The creature turned, going up the hill. Silently, Firota, Vixen and I followed him to the entrance.
"What is your name?" I asked the creature. I felt odd knowing what he was, yet not knowing his name. He paused before he entered the cave.
His one eye looked back at me, the other covered by a shadow the cave made. "I have no name. My parents didn't get to give me a name before I was taken away." His voice was sad. I could tell that he was not going to talk about it anymore.
Firota came up next to me, "Is she down there?" He asked.
My body trembled as the Bogron turned his gaze away and rested it on him, "Yes. I'll show you the way." He turned and began to fall into the darkness.
Firota turned to me. He held out his hand. When I didn't take it, he grabbed onto my arm and pulled me. My other hand felt something warm grab hold. Vixen was holding onto my other hand.
"Stay close." Firota hissed somewhere above me. He was taller then me, so it made good sense.
Vixen also grabbed onto me with more of a force. Her hand was hot on mine and my body trembled a little with her breathing on me. She was so close. Her arm touched along with mine, but other then that, she stayed a distance.
Firota's hand was cold and he made sure to pull me if I slowed. Unlike Vixen, Firota was not afraid of the dark and he was insisting on proving it.
The cave was dark, and the way we were going was slanted down. It made me a little uneasy when I tripped over things I thought were rocks. There was dampness in the cave, but the smell of rotting things never came. It only smelled of frost. As we walked further on, it grew darker, and the smell of frost was becoming stronger.
As we walked, I began to see a small glow in front of me. There were dozens of them within seconds. It looked like fireflies, only these fireflies looked like small snowflakes. They also had a brilliant blue glow to them. They didn't fall to the ground though, they only moved around going in an up and down motion. It took a few seconds before my mind made out what they really were. They were the stones of blue that had speckled the Bogron's body.
His scales seemed to be glowing in the dark cave. I gave a smile as I saw them pulse with life. It was as if they were snowflakes, blue glowing flakes, and they were trapped in a dark snowstorm that offered them only beauty, and not light.
There was no wind, so I didn't have to worry about becoming cold. Though every time we took another step, I kept thinking something would happen.
Firota's hand clasped harder around me and I could tell he was becoming nervous.
I soon had the pleasure of seeing why. The hollow suddenly gave way to a large room. The room was all rock and wasn't really a room to begin with. It was only an oval room, smooth rock all around. A large rock was in the middle and came out of the ground. The stone reached up high. It was about halfway to the ceiling. The rock looked to be the color of sequin blue and green. It had streaks of silver running down it as well.
"We're here." The Bogron whispered.
My gaze had been on him for a few seconds until I noticed something else.
I looked at the rock. From the top of it, something was leading from it. It was the mist. The mist leaked slowly down and had a strange smell to it. It looked to be silver tinted, like the moon when it became full once a month.
Slowly something began to fall around us. It was smoke. Then I remembered the smell. It was the smell I had smelled long ago with Allen and Vixen. It was so sweet; it almost smelled like spring in winter, when the first flowers would bud.
Little lights of blue fell through the smoke, but as soon as they hit the ground, they would disappear, only to be replaced with another. Now it looked like it was really snowing, though it looked like a fire had broken out and only smoke and ashes were left to give hidden beauty.
Then my mind gave a familiar thought light that burned in me, "Evean really is Simonia's sister." I turned to Firota then Vixen. "Simonia had said that her sister was a rock."
Then I heard a small laugh. I looked to where it seemed to be originating from.
I watched as smoke began to form something on top of the rock. Slowly, but surely, the smoke was forming a face. There were no major features. But it was clearly a woman. She looked beautiful too.
You could see a slender face, no wrinkles, but forever young. There was a nose, delicate. Soft lips budded from the face and so did hair. Though the hair didn't seem to be there, you could tell because smoke was trailing down the back and flowing outward to indicate a breeze. She had a slender neck and shoulders; you couldn't see anything more than arms and hands though.
Her body was grey. She had a glow coming off of her and she looked beautiful. For a second I wanted to look at Vixen, but I feared that she would look too beautiful in the fog and silver-blue dimmed light. I willed myself to keep my eyes on Evean.
"My sister was half right." Her voice smoothed over us like smoke. "She was wrong when she had said I was a rock, but right for I am concealed in one."
I looked at her, "You are Evean?"
Evean looked down at me, her sightless eyes seeming to see nothing, yet everything at once. "I am. I see you have met Simonia, tell me, how is she?"
When no one answered, I said to her, "She looks…" I drew my voice softer, and sighed knowing I would have to tell her the truth, "Tortured."
Evean was silent for a long time then she turned and said, "I know. I just wish I was wrong." She looked at me, her gaze very hard, "I was hoping you would tell me she was dead."
My heart sank, surely if you loved someone, you would not wish them dead. Then my face grew hot, that was something else I had done to L. I killed him to try and hide the fact hat I could never have him.
"Do not get me wrong. I love my sister, but we both wish we could be in peace. It is passed our time to go and I think that it is selfish for me to want her to live if she is just going to be in pain." Her tone was soft and I knew that she meant it. She only wanted her sister to be free.
Everyone was silent. Evean broke it by speaking, "Sorry, I do not have the same poetic words as my sister, but I only wish to speak this way. I was never good with poems anyway."
She gave a small sigh, "Now, I suppose that you have come here to know something?" Her gaze fell on each of us.
Vixen caught her gaze, "I am ready." She said, though her words were somewhat scared and lost. I glanced at her. I had been right, she did look beautiful. She also looked strong. Her gaze was locked with Evean and her body was unmoving.
Evean closed her eyes, "Very well." She looked over at Firota, "Have you finally come to see your future as well?"
Firota gave a small snort, "No. I do not believe it is time. I also don't think it right to see into the future." He gave her a small cocky smile.
Evean's left hand sailed down, extending and becoming longer. The smoke hand coiled around Firota and I could tell shivers were crawling up him.
Evean's hand caressed his cheek, "You can't run forever. But I can't show you something you don't want to see." Her hand disappeared and became visible again by her invisible body, "You can't hide forever. Someday…" She whispered to him.
Firota crossed his arms.
Evean looked at me, "Do you want to know your future?" She asked.
I looked at her sternly, "What can you show me?" I asked.
Evean gave a small sigh, "Not much. But if you wish to see L, then now is a good time."
I smiled; the thought of seeing L made me happy. "Can you show me my death? And a way to get home?" I asked.
"A way home, yes. Your death…?" She asked. "No. I am not able to see that for you. But I can show you something that might help you make a choice later, weather it be good…or bad." She said, her voice going dark.
I looked up at her, "Show me what you can."
She looked on, "You were meant to see something else as well Light. Though I am not sure what it is myself."
My body shook when she said my name and spoke the words that slinked into my body. Maybe Firota was right, maybe people weren't allowed to see into their futures. Perhaps we were supposed to go around and wait for it, like a surprise. It sounded more natural then knowing what was going to happen.
"What about Allen?" I asked, suddenly remembering.
Evean gave a small smile, "He will be taken care of." She then looked at Vixen and I, "Now…Close your eyes, and breathe deep."
I did as I was told and felt my body slip into darkness as the smoke seeped into my body, preparing myself for the worst, I slipped into the oncoming darkness more.
L looked sideways, tilting his head so that he could try and see the screen in a different way. But, no matter how many times he shifted, he couldn't see anything different.
Everything was confusing him right now, the killings had suddenly stopped and Light was still missing, and Kira lost contact with them.
L was staring at a picture of Light with a stern look on his face, another with a smirk on his lips and another with the words, 'L, Help' on it. The pictures came from Light's school year book. He had gotten it by cracking into the school's code system.
L sighed, he was trying to look at Light as a killer, a cold hearted, murderer. He couldn't though. He couldn't see the evil eyed killer anymore, and he didn't know why.
For some reason, he was looking at Light without feeling hate, not he was feeling something else for him. It was that damned feeling of emotion he had felt a long time ago. But why did Light Yagami make him feel like this? L gazed at the boy, "Why do I feel so oddly for you?" He asked the picture.
There was no answer, as you can mostly expect from situations like these. L gave a sigh. He HAD to find Light. He had to see what these feelings were and if Light felt the same.
He was about to phone Watari when he felt his body grow heavy. Slowly his breathing grew slower and increasingly shallower. L felt his body fall; he hit the ground with a heavy 'thump.'
Slowly his arms tried to pick up his body, but the pain in his chest and the way his strength and energy were leaving him, he only fell to the ground once more. He did not get back up. He couldn't even yell for help. He could only feel his body fall into a deep sleep. His eyes closed and he could hear a soft voice. Someone was calling him. It was a woman's voice that he did not recognize.
Her voice was soft and silky. It drifted to him like honey and sugar. L couldn't help but drift to her. Looking for the voice that was saying his name… "L…Come, come, it's time." She said.
L didn't even pause to think it might be death calling him. A massive heart attack could be waiting for him in the stilling darkness. He only ran to the voice, saying slowly, "Show me. I follow your voice."
End of chapter 11.
I know, another short chapter. Sorry I threw in that L part at the bottom, but I wanted to give you a little heads up on how this was working out on L's part. I am sad to say this but, I kind of forgot why Light went to see Evean. I think it was for a way home, am I right? Hn. Oh well, I'll think of something. Don't ask me how many more chapters there are going to be, because there are going to be a few. But, I would like to say thanks to: thenightwanderer for all of the help this person has given me. I would also like to thank: TheLustofkilling for reading my story so far and reviewing it over and over again. Thanks again. See you soon. (Next chapter, L and Light are reunited, but what will happen?)
Bof: Beast that is born of the moon king and the frost goddess. Their forbidden love forced their only child to be taken away. They did not get to name him before he was taken. The name basically means, lost child. Born Of Frost.
Bogron: The nice word for Bof. Also a cross between a dragon and a Bof.
Frost Prince: A man who was forbidden to cross paths with the moon after having a child of sin. (More info later?) He is now the King of Frost.
Moon Princess: She was severely punished after having a child of sin. The child was taken from her and turned into a dragon. Only the King and Queen know the child is not dead yet. (More info later?) She is now the Queen of the Moon. Both can reach to Light because he is not a being of the Shinigami world. This is why they have to contact Light and no one else.
