Chapter 3: Dreams and Reality
Geo helped Zazu up and he glanced over at Eagle who was unconscious. Nova
walked toward Hikaru. She stroked her gently and smiled. Then she flew over to the
other side where Eagle was laying unconscious. She picked him up the hair and hair and
threw against the wall. She then walked toward him and picked him up by his collar.
Eagle opened his eyes and then closed them. "Listen to me." said Nova holding him
against the wall.
"Leave Hikaru alone and I'll spare your life." she hissed. "Don't love her
anymore leave her to me." Eagle shook his head. He couldn't speak. His mouth was dry
and he had a hard time keeping Nova in focus. He kept seeing double or a blurred vision
of her. Nova growled and pulled out her sword. She was about to stab Eagle when Geo
pushed her into the wall. "YOU FOOL!" she shouted flying toward Geo. Suddenly there
was a lighting bolt came hurdling down at Nova. When it hit her she fell back. When she
looked up she saw Master Mage (Guru) Clef. Nova got up and phased away.
Clef walked forward and helped Zazu up. Geo managed to get Eagle up from the
floor and laid him next to Hikaru for the moment. "Are you alright?" asked Clef. Geo
nodded and so did Zazu. "What about Eagle?" he asked looking over at him. "He was
trying to give Hikaru some of his mental energy when the pink haired witch blasted in
and Eagle became to weak to take the patch off." explained Zazu. Clef walked over and
then looked at them. Just then Mokona bounced in the room. He had a sad expression on
his face instead of usually cheery face. Instead of bouncing like normal he walked over
and climbed on the bed and sat next to Hikaru.
"It seems everyone is worried for Hikaru and know with Nova back we need
someone to guard Hikaru and Eagle." said Clef. Geo took a step forward. "I will." he
said. Clef nodded and then looked at Zazu. "You shall to and I'll also send Lafarga up to
help." he said. Geo and Zazu nodded and watched Clef leave. Then the two looked on the
bed where Mokona was sitting sadly.
Hikaru's Dream
The place was dark and gloomy. No animal would dare set one foot on his land.
Not even a vulture or rat. Hikaru stood there with no weapons or magic. She shivered as
she walked on toward what seemed to be the light. Every step she took was as if it was
her last. The continuing silence made her fell uncomfortable. Suddenly there was a bright
light. Hikaru covered her eyes with her arm but she heard someone say, "Hikaru."
Hikaru looked up and there was Hawk Eagle's twin bother. He put out his to let
Hikaru take it. She placed her hand in his and he pulled her up. "Hawk am I dead?" asked
Hikaru. He shook his head and said, "Barely alive I should say." Hikaru gulped and let
Hawk lead her on. "My brother has given you some of his life energy and know he is in
danger... your counter part, Nova, is after you and he wants to kill Eagle. You must not
let her succeed... you must not..." But before he could finish he disappeared and Hikaru
fell back into a light sleep.
Eagle's Dream
What is going on he thought looking at his hands. They were small like a child's
hands. He looked at his body he was small. He was his child self. "What happened to
me." he gasped out. But his voice to was a child's. Suddenly there was a laugh from
behind him. He looked behind and saw Nova. He gasped and began to run. Everywhere
he turned there was Nova holding out a blade ready to kill him. "LEAVE ME ALONE."
he cried out. Suddenly Eagle tripped and there stood Nova with the blade coming down
at him.
Before Nova hit him Eagle shot out of bed. Cold sweat came down his back and
hair as he panted. In the room Geo, Zazu, and Lafarga were sitting with weapons. Geo got
up and so did the other two. The ran to Eagle's side who was holding his head in his
hands. "It was so real." he whispered. "I was a child... defenseless... like I am know." he
said sickly. Geo forced him back down to sleep. Eagle quickly fell back into a sleep.
In the other realm Lantis was facing the dark shadow called Zagato. His eyes
glaring at Lantis. A grin formed on his face as he took a step forward. Lantis still in shock
of what he said stood frozen. "You can't admit you don't love Hikaru." he said taking
another step forward. Lantis this time found the courage to move. He picked his sword up
and sliced through Zagato. The shadow's disappeared and reappeared behind him and
grabbed him by the arm and twisted it up making Lantis fall to his knees.
Outside the realm Umi and Fuu stood in front of the gem unable to enter it like
Lantis did. When ever they touched they were electrocuted. "I'm going to blast it." said
Umi. "Are you sure that's a wise idea?" asked Fuu. Umi didn't respond. She stood there
and was about to shout out her attack when someone said, "I wouldn't do that if I were
you." Umi stopped and her and Fuu looked up and saw Nova.
"If you destroy that gem Lantis is lost forever." said Nova floating down to them.
"I love Lantis so much but my master wants him dead and when he's dead and the blond
loser to I get Hikaru all to myself." Umi and Fuu looked at each other then pulled there
swords out. Nova then pulled out her blades. "But I have to destroy you two to because
Hikaru loves you guys and I want her to love me and only me and be friends with only
me." Umi and Fuu laughed but Nova growled and began to fight them.
Inside the realm Lantis was in pain as Zagato kicked him again and again. "Why
are you doing this?" he asked. Zagato didn't answer he just laughed and through him
aside. He hit his head hard on the ground but managed to look up. Zagato walked forward
with a grin on his face. "I'm doing this because you don't love Hikaru and when your
dead I will be able to enter Cephiro and destroy it and then Nova will get Hikaru." Lantis
frowned and tried to stand but fell back.
Zagato laughed and sat in midair. He sat back and laughed at Lantis and then spat
in his face. He just sat there watching how pathetic Lantis was. "What are you doing."
growled Lantis. "You know Lantis you and I are a lot alike." he said. "I see no
resemblance." spat Lantis. Zagato looked at Lantis as if he was about to kill him. He
floated down to the ground and pulled out a light blade.
Back at the palace Clef sat in the throne room clutching his chest. Just then Ferio
entered the room with Presea. "Master Mage!" said Ferio running to his side "are you
okay?" asked Presea. Clef didn't respond he fell down to his knees and began to cough.
"I feel an eviler presence but not in Cephiro but in another realm." he said. Ferio and
Presea looked at each other and then back at Clef.
Lantis looked up at Zagato as he held the sword against his neck. Lantis gulped
and slowly got up. "Lantis you and I are alike." he said again. "Hikaru and Nova are alike
and so are we." Lantis finally realized what he had been saying. "Yes, Lantis I am you
and you are me we are one." Lantis eyes widened as he fell to his knees. Just then Umi
and Fuu appeared in the realm uncurious with Nova laughing.
Back at the castle both Hikaru and Eagle were asleep and slowly dying. Clef was
in the throne room in pain and Persia and Ferio worried about him. Lady Aska, Sang
Yung and Chang Ang sat worried on there ship wondering what was going on in Cephiro.
Tarta and Tatra were on there ship hoping the others were okay. Outside castle Cephiro
Ascot and Caldina awaited for Umi, Fuu and Lantis to return. Inside Geo, Zazu and
Lafarga stood guard if Nova were to come back. On top of castle Cephiro was Mokona
and his jewel was no longer red but yellow.
Geo helped Zazu up and he glanced over at Eagle who was unconscious. Nova
walked toward Hikaru. She stroked her gently and smiled. Then she flew over to the
other side where Eagle was laying unconscious. She picked him up the hair and hair and
