Author's note: This chapter is again mainly based on Clarion and Milori, and something happens in Pixie Hollow that will once again test the love of these two rulers. Scarlet and her side continues to journey through the forest and I think something with Alex happens in this chapter...enjoy and please leave a review at the bottom so I know what to change and what went well!
ScarletPuppy83: You really are an outgoing person, your reviews always make me laugh, especially this one.
Ice Queen of Love: Scarlet kind of called Diana and Robert to take away Alex, back to the kingdom because she thinks he shouldn't be going through all this suffering...sorry if that was confusing.
Chapter 14
Clarion lifted her head up when the sun went down for the day, light fairies performed their part for Pixie Hollow every time at this time of day. They flew around with light and beautiful lanterns in their hands. They gently set the lanterns in a row everywhere in Pixie Hollow besides for winter, or else the snow will melt. Once that is all complete, they gently roll the light into the lanterns and they burst into life.
Pixie Hollow is the prettiest kingdom in the Neverland, besides the Neverland Gem castle. Clarion watched as the light-talents finished putting the lights into the lanterns. Iridessa and Fira flew to her, "Queen Clarion, are you alright?" Iridessa asked gently, so Clarion forced a smile.
"Thank you sweetie, I'm alright. These lanterns are beautiful, I've only heard about them, but I've never actually seen them before, it's so breathtaking." Clarion said smiling, "Well it's getting late girls, I should be heading back now." She smiled again before disappearing into pixie dust.
Scarlet woke up the next morning with the sun shining in her face. When she sat up, she realized that she had a knot in the small of her back. She gently smacked it and it became better as she stretched and yawned.
She walked over to the stream and splashed some water onto herself as a morning bath, which she hadn't had in weeks!
"Never going to doubt life again!" Scarlet said as the coolness of the water splashed onto her face. "Wonder what my real parents are up to right now." She sighed and grabbed all her stuff.
"Well time itself is not going to wait for me, better get going." And just like that, she started walking into the horizon.
Clarion walked into the dining room and found the ministers silently eating, that's when she noticed Milori was absent. She sighed and flew over to her seat, the ministers looked up at her and smiled.
"Hi Queen Clarion, how are you doing today?" Sunflower asked cheerfully
"I'm doing better, thank you." They all nodded knowing what's going on between the two royals. Clarion looked at her plate of potato salad, even though this was her favorite dinner, she still didn't feel like eating anything. She just grabbed her fork and pushed the salad around in her plate, "Have you seen where Milori is?" She asked suddenly. The ministers looked up at her.
"He's in his Ice Palace...I think." Clarion just nodded, then she stood up. "Where are you going your highness?" Snowflake asked
"To my room, I'm not really hungry today." They nodded as Clarion flew upstairs.
"Alex, what are you doing here?" Scarlet screamed when Alex appeared behind her.
"Thank goodness you're okay, here is some pixie dust." Scarlet didn't think before she took a pinch and threw it onto herself. "I honestly thought I wasn't going to make it for a second."
"Did you really think I would have you suffer out here alone?" Alex said dumping his bag out. Pouches of pixie dust, 2 loaves of bread and some water and cheese rolled out onto the ground, Scarlet gasped.
"I thought I would never see food again either!" She said grabbing a piece of cheese, Alex laughed and sat down next to her.
"Looks like you made it through the troll bridge, how was it?"
"Let's put it this way, snot does not smell nor feel very good."
"Ew, you touched troll snot?" Scarlet glared at him playfully, "Why are you here, I thought you were in your castle!"
"I was and had enough time to grab these things, sorry cause they're not the best."
"I went 2 whole days without food or water until I came out of the troll bridge and found a fresh stream that had water and fish in it, and that tasted like heaven! I'm never ever doubting food ever again."Alex laughed and took her hand.
"Come on, let's start flying because we have tons of pixie dust." Scarlet blushed and gathered her belongings, which honestly is just a bag with a tiny bit of pixie dust left in it. "Alright, here is the map." Scarlet said handing him the map.
"Head north...we should the find arch thingy in 2 days..." Before he flew off, Scarlet gently grabbed him by the arm. "Thank you Alex, for doing this." She meant it wholehearted, and Alex understood it.
"Please, this is my job, so I'm going to finish it no matter what challenges I face, I was born to do these things." Scarlet smiled, "Shall we my lady?" He asked which made her blush uncontrollably.
She linked arms with him and they flew off into the night sky...
Clarion collapsed onto her bed and stared up at the ceiling, "Why does life have to have so many obstacles like this?" She mumbled to herself.
"Maybe is was telling the truth, because I know he loves me." Clarion said with tears glistening in her beautiful baby blue eyes. She stood up, "I'm going to go talk to him, hopefully it'll go well."
And with that, she headed off towards the Winter woods. When she reached the center of the winter woods, she gasped. Everything was destroyed and broken down, "What happened here?" She cried to Sled, who looked injured and tired.
"Hawks..." He managed to say before he crumpled to the ground again, Clarion looked around frantically for Milori, but didn't find him. "Sled, where's Lord Milori?" She asked.
"Don't know, everything happened just so quickly...and the preparations for winter are all gone now." Clarion leaned down, "Everything's going to be alright Sled, I promise, now get up and go to the infirmary."
Sled nodded and flew there, Clarion searched in the Ice Palace, but nothing to be found. "Milori sweetheart, where are you?!" Clarion screamed.
"Here..." A weak voice wa heard from upstairs. "Milori, is that you?" Clarion said as she rushed upstairs. She gasped when she saw the horrible wounds across his muscular chest and thighs.
Clarion tested up as she bent down to his moaning figure. "Sweetheart, I'm so sorry...I had no clue...I..." She burst into tears as Milori caressed her cheek, "I'm the one that's sorry dear, I'm sorry I made you so upset."
"that was my bad, I should have known sooner that you would never do something like that to me." Clarion gently pressed her hand onto his thigh wound and pixie dust started pouring in.
Milori shut his eyes and gritted his teeth, the pain was indescribable. "Sweetheart almost done, looking better by the second!" Clarion said, hoping he wouldn't focus on the wound too much.
"Almost there." Clarion said, but Milori grabbed her wrist, "Clarion, it hurts really badly." He said panting and sweating, the wound was almost sealed.
"Just a few more seconds an it'll be like it was never there, stay strong Milori, I know you can do it." Milori nodded and Clarion kissed his temple and got back to work, if she had sneaked a look at him, she would have seen the pain on his face, but she decided not to and just get it over with as soon as possible...
Author's note: Yep, I couldn't stand writing the beautiful couple apart and mad at each other anymore, so I added a little drama in there and here they are, together again, hopefully...!
Alex appears again and I didn't feel like writing too much of their side right now because the whole entire story is literally focused on Clarion and Milori, and how their relationship is triggering Pixie Hollow. The next chapters will have more of Scarlet and Alex, because Milorian is now over, although I will definitely include them in every chapter, but not that much anymore.
And my next story after this one is done will be just about Clarion and Milori, it was suggested by one of my reviewers...just a heads up if you have any ideas on this next story!
