Forgotten Dreams – Chpt 1

Rini sighed as she returned to the palace of Crystal Tokyo. She walked through the crystalline halls, heading to her chambers. The shoes she wore clicked softly on the marble floor and came to a stop as the large double doors to her chambers were opened. Setting down the one item she had brought with her, Rini stared at the small bell with agonizing pain.
Even though he had left only a few minutes ago, Helios wouldn't leave her mind. Images and memories kept flashing through the young girl's head. Rini hoped that Helios would come visit her soon, like he had said he would.

"Rini, I think you should give this Philip a chance," her mother said to her.
"But mother," came the reply, "I don't feel the same way towards him. And he doesn't even know me."
"Of course he knows you. Why wouldn't-," the queen was cut off by her daughter's answer.
"He knows the princess! Not me! Not me at all!"
Neo Queen Serenity sighed as Rini ran to her room. This sort of thing happened all the time when they were talking of princes from other kingdoms. The truth was that her mother thought that she should have a boyfriend. The girl was 17 and still didn't have one.

"Eight years," Rini said to herself. "It's been eight years, Helios. And you still haven't visited me. Not even once. I haven't seen you since the day you left..." Silent tears came from her eyes and she hastily wiped them away, not wanting to cry anymore.
She turned around and saw the bell he gave her only inches away from her fingers. With a diminishing hope, Rini picked up the bell with shaky hands. When she rang the bell it still sounded like it had when she first received it from Helios. For minutes she waited, and for minutes nothing happened. The tears came again and the princess crawled into bed, crying herself to sleep.

Helios heard a tinkling sound that could only be the Crystal Clarion that he had given to Rini so many years ago. He wished that he could go to her, but as the Priest of Elysion he still had duties to attend to. He still wouldn't be able to see the princess for some time.

So? What did you think? R & R!
