A top hat wearing man waltzed through the house as he wandered to and fro. A brunette sat at a young girl's bedside, tending to her wounds. A green haired girl stirred in her sleep. This house was protected by a mystical force, and a mystical set of items that protected them all. The girl on the bed lay asleep in the bed, with her green eyes shut, and her green hair in disarray. A candle lit by her bedside illuminated her face.
"Mimi?" The brunette said gently. She began to wrap Mimi's sides with long white bandages to heal the areas her spider legs had damaged her skin. The man with a top hat came in, as he carried his crystal staff.
"How is she doing Timpani?" The tall man said, as his cape bristled on the floor.
"Not well Blumiere…" Timpani sighed, as she placed a cool rag on Mimi's forehead.
Blumiere shook his head slightly with dismay. "Dimentio and his group's destruction know no end. They will soon come for us, my dear." He sighed slightly. She wiped Mimi's head delicately as she began to speak.
"All worlds will meet their ends if we let this continue, Blumiere. You know it." She said sternly.
Blumiere frowned. "You know there is nothing to be done. I alone cannot stop the wrath of the Shadow Queen. You know that such a feat is impossible." He tipped his hat gently, shadowing his eyes.
"Blumiere, the fate of all worlds is at stake! You can't let everything go down like this! You can't let the worlds fall!" she pleaded. Mimi stirred in her sleep at the rising conversation.
Blumiere shook his head with disagreement. "I have made enough sacrifices for a universe that can never pay back what it has taken from me."
"Aren't I enough?" she said, as she looked up into his eyes. His monocle glinted with slight remorse.
"You're more than I could ever ask for Timpani, but…risking losing you isn't worth all of the worlds." He shook his head once more. Timpani huffed slightly, as she became flustered.
"Don't you understand Blumiere? Without a world to live in, I will be no more! WE will be no more!" She cried.
"And just what do you expect me to do? I am no hero of the Light Prognosticus! I am a member of the Tribe of Darkness for Grambi's sake! .!" He enunciated, his tone rising with anger and frustration.
"Keep it down, wouldya?" Mimi mumbled in her sleep. Timpani exhaled sharply. "Then I guess the world better prepare itself to turn to dust." She placed the towel on Mimi's head and quietly exited the room. Blumiere leaned over and blew the candle out. It would be a very long night.
This had to be a nightmare. Mimi screamed as she felt herself falling into a deep abyss. It seemed as if she was drowning in an endless sea of darkness. She felt herself struggling to keep her head above the dark aura. She looked around and saw absolutely nothing but blackness. She began to walk through the never ending gloom, when she finally came to a door. The door was marked with a heart. When she stepped through the door, a bright white light pierced the air. She felt the love her soul had lost return; and felt the happiness of all her memories surge back through her mind. She was overjoyed, and jumped for joy. Her glee was short lived as she turned and saw a dark faceless queen behind her. She screamed and once again fell to the darkness. Behind her eyelids, there was a flash of light, and then all was calm. Mimi had no idea what happened, but it gave her a sense of peace, and she returned to her blissful unconsciousness.
Timpani sat at her bed reading a mysterious book.
"Timpani, what are you doing?" Blumiere strode in the room, his tall stature overpowering the room. Timpani slid the book under her pillow and said nothing. The last thing she wanted was for Blumiere to know what she was up to. Blumiere sighed.
"I know you're upset with me, love. But there is not much else I can do." He walked over and smoothed her hair between his fingers.
"The…the book can help us." She mumbled. Blumiere looked at her incredulously and stared.
"Timpani don't tell me you've been reading that blasted book!" he glared.
"It's not a 'blasted' book Blumiere! This book is the key to our survival! The key to the world's survival!" she cried. She grabbed onto his gloved hands and held them to her chest.
"We don't have long Blumiere….You must listen to me. Just this once." She cried, as tears streamed down her face. She sighed, as Blumiere wiped her tears away.
"What does the book say, love?" he said, as he looked away. Timpani gently beamed with victory, as she began explaining the book and what it was predicting.
"The Light Prognosticus is wise. We will find a way to repair the worlds my love. I will not let you slip out of my hands ever again. This I promise." He pulled her close and held her in his arms. He kissed her atop her head.
"I love you Blumiere…" she said, as a happy tear streamed down her face.
"And I love you more than you could ever imagine, Timpani." He brushed the hair from her face, and placed a delicate kiss on her lips. She smiled, and they stayed there bonding, discussing the way to destroy Dimentio's plans, and the way to stay alive. No matter what it took, the two star crossed lovers were determined to never be separated ever again.
