ENJOY!


Clarion flew over to her closet and changed her clothes, she then brushed her hair and took out her tiara. Clarion left her room to attend to her royal duties, first she was going to go to spring and check on the preparations and then visit autumn and summer. After her rounds it was around noon and the sun was high in the crystal clear sky. Clarion had been day dreaming all day about Milori, she knew that tonight's meeting would go smoother than the prior evening.

All the doubt in their minds had been shared and now all that was left was to enjoy each other's company. Clarion realized she didn't know much about Milori, she planned on learning more about him. The afternoon dragged on, Clarion was alone in the library when she was about to head for the border. She was about to open the library door when someone on the other side beat her to it.

The door flew open quickly causing a gust of wind to fly into Clarion's face, she gasped. The minister of spring stood on the other side of the door with a shy smile on his face. He had startled Clarion, she faked a smile; all she wanted to do was fly as fast as her wings would carry her to the border to see Milori but she was being held up.

Hopefully she wasn't going to be late. Clarion began to grow nervous, if she was late Milori might assume she changed her mind and wasn't going to meet him at sunset anymore. Clarion couldn't let that happen.

"Ah! I thought I might find you here!" said Hyacinth. Clarion was jolted from her thoughts of Milori and the border. "I wanted to know if you weren't doing anything if you wanted to-" Clarion kept calm and showed no emotion in her face. She knew what the minister of spring was asking, he was trying to ask her to go on a date with him. She had been getting better at compartmentalizing and keeping her composure.

"Im sorry to interrupt Hyacinth but I have something to attend to and I'm afraid I'm already late." Clarion gave a small smile and flew past the minister of spring leaving him alone and rejected in the grand library.

Clarion felt horrible about being rude with the minister of spring but she didn't want to endure a long conversation that would ultimately end in her telling him she didn't care for him the way he cared for her. The minister of spring drifted out of her mind as she came closer to the border. She had reached the border at the same time Milori had, although she had him beat by a few seconds.

"Hello Clarion, your looking lovely this evening." said Milori, he smiled and pulled her hand close to him into winter and kissed the top of her hand. Clarion knew her cheeks had to be bright red. Every time Milori touched her it sent chills down her spine, her stomach began to twist and turn, she felt like she was floating although she remained grounded. Being with him made her feel whole, she never knew one sparrow man could make her feel like this.

"Good evening Milori." Clarion smiled at him and he let go of her hand. Meeting him at the border was the best part of her days. Clarion would give anything to be able to enter winter to be with him without the consequences, she wished her wings were strong enough to withstand the bitter cold of the winter woods. Clarion was thankful that there was a border, they had somewhere to be together even if they were forced to remain in their own seasons. Clarion's mind began filling with questions for him, she wanted to know everything about him.

"May I ask what your talent is?" Clarion smiled at him, she was captivated by his beauty, he was so handsome that it took her breath away.

"I'm a frost fairy." lied Milori. He wasn't just a frost fairy, he had all the winter talents. He was the Lord of Winter. Clarion smiled at his answer, he never thought of himself as being a good liar but she trusted him so she would believe anything he had said. Milori saw no indication that she had any doubts about his talent; talents were something to be proud of, no one usually would lie about theirs.

Although he desperately wanted to tell her the truth, he thought it would be best to keep it from her. Milori had to an entire season to look after, if anyone found out that he was meeting a warm fairy at the border would be disastrous. Milori shivered at that thought, if someone found out and it got back to the princess of Pixie Hollow, he and Clarion would surely be in an enormous amount of trouble. He wanted to protect her, he thought it better if she didn't know that truth about him.

"What's your talent?" asked Milori. He saw a flicker of fear wash through Clarion's eyes but it passed as quickly as it had appeared. He narrowed his eyes at her wondering what was going through her mind.

"I'm a light fairy." lied Clarion. She smiled reassuringly to Milori. It wasn't technically a lie but not the entirely the truth either, she was a light fairy but she failed to mention that she also had every other warm fairy talent and was the princess of Pixie Hollow and soon to be queen. Clarion knew from the moment she met Milori that he was different, he treated her the way she wished to be treated and he didn't know she was the princess.

Clarion wondered if she should tell him the truth. Perhaps he wouldn't mind that she was the princess, or maybe if he knew the truth he would recoil from her. She knew that she was hiding a tremendous secret, if he found out it might be a heavy burden to him and she didn't want to put that kind of pressure on him. She loved that he thought of her as a normal fairy.

"A light fairy-" Milori didn't seem surprised, he let out a small chuckle. "Makes perfect sense, light is alluring and radiant, just like you; seems fitting that your a light fairy." Milori loved watching her reaction when he said something sweet to her. Her eyes lit up and her smile was wide and genuine. Clarion tucked a piece of her long golden brown hair behind her ear and reached for Milori's hand.

"You're too kind." said Clarion. Milori tightened his grip on her hand. He sat down and Clarion followed his lead. Clarion leaned her head against his shoulder, making sure her wings remained in the warm seasons. Milori wrapped his arm around her waist, they sat hand in hand for a long time without saying anything. They didn't need to say anything, they were both content being in each other's arms.

"These last couple of days have been the best days of my life." whispered Milori. Clarion looked deep into his eyes, she tried to hold back a small giggle. She adored it when Milori was being romantic.

"I feel the same way." Milori was daydreaming and had thought those words, he didn't even realize he had said them out loud. He began to turn a bright shade of red. Clarion giggled, and squeezed his hand. He smiled at her and brushed her hair away from her face, his hand rested on the back of her head.

Milori moved closer to Clarion and her heart began to beat rapidly. Milori leaned even closer and Clarion closed her eyes. They were inches apart, Clarion could feel his cool breath on her lips. This was it, she and Milori were finally going to share their first kiss. Clarion was thrilled and nervous at the same time she thought she might faint.

"Clarion?!" She heard her name being called from afar, the echo of the familiar voice reached as far as the border. Clarion pulled away from Milori before he could kiss her. He jumped at her sudden movement. They both looked to the warm seasons, Milori heard her name being called as well. Clarion immediately recognized the voice.


Cliff-hanger! :)
