Only Time Can Heal Her Wounds

By: Spirit_Saviour



= Vex's thoughts

+ in the last chapter, I sorta changed something: Tenny is now Vex, because Tenny? It just doesn't sound right for a prince.







"They do?" Lilica's voice filled with excitement and brimmed with hope. It was her desire to find out anything about her past, but all the mental efforts gave her nothing but haunting dreams of a chocolate-eyed boy.

Vex looked at her as if she were insane Wow. I've never seen anyone so oddly exciting in my life. Interesting.

"Yeah…Whatever you said, if that answer answers your gibberish. Now common."

He then thrust out a hand to her and led her towards his parents. The royalty now sat across from each other at a table which had been recently placed in the meeting room, idly talking to each other while drinking some sort of silvery liquor from crystal goblets. Vex stopped a few feet from the table and waited for his father to notice him.

"There you are Vex. Come, we shall enjoy the evening in the gardens. How has your day gone, my son?"

"Quite exciting actually. You see, I had been looking for my flute and went into your study room when I found this frightened, terrified little girl. Being noble, I knew that helping her would be the best thing to do, and…"

Lilica seethed as she listened to Vex's "heroic" day and watched him join his father for their walk. She was not that frightened, and she certainly was NOT little. But before she could interrupt their talk and add a retort of some kind, their voices soon became faint echoes bouncing off the marble walls.

"So, my little Vex has had quite a day with you, I count?"

Startled, Lilica remembered that the queen was still there. Turning her head she replied, "He has a very big imagination."

Lady Janellese laughed at this. Did she know what she was saying to her? Lilica shifted her feet, uncertain of what was to come next.

"It's okay. I do know what you are saying, but only because of the speaking stone which I now carry with me- it allows me to understand any kind of way of communication between two beings, including people's thoughts. But don't worry, I won't listin to you speak to yourself mentally, anymore."

Gesturing to Lilica, the queen offered her a seat and she obliged gratefully.

"Now, to get to the point. That necklace you wear around your neck, may I see it again?"

The girl slowly pulled out the trinket, and placed it into Lady Janellese's trusting hands. The woman examined every detail and aspect of the misty stone placed at the center of the silver chain, then carefully gave it back to Lilica.

"As I had thought. That heirloom belonged to the Toparay Faries, though I do not believe that it used to be that size. It is called the Spirit Saviour, one of ours (elves), and theirs (faries), most powerful relics. Made out of moonlight, the stone set in the middle of this silver chain can give you back all of your memories when you learn how to use it properly one day. It also can heal anything- henceforth, it's worth."

The queen leaned back, wait for the girl to react.

Lilica stared at the necklace, stunned. Wow. All this time, she had been carrying around a priceless artifact which could've given her memories, and she hadn't known? Vex would've laughed at her right on the spot, not caring weather or not if he'd hurt her feelings. But…what did a necklace have to do with her identity? Looking quizzly up at the elven maiden, she voiced out her question.

"What does this have to do with my past?"

"Well, I've been waiting for you to ask me that. Only a royal Toparay fairy could make the Spirit Saviour glow like it does now when you hold it, and this," slowly fingering out a tiny parchment of paper the size of a fingernail the queen continued, "is a message which had announced a couple of months ago that a certain Princess Lilica had disappeared from their camp site. You're name was surprisingly similar, but your size gave me doubt- until Vex spoke up about the necklace that you wore."

Shock overcame Lilica, and millions of unanswered questions flashed through her head. Her family? Who were they? She was a fairy…princess!? Would she ever get her memory back someday? Was she well loved? Respected? Where were her wings? The queen's calm voice pierced her thoughts, and kept her on track. She needed to calm down, and get control of herself before she'd shout and jump up with joy. Holding down a feeling of hope and giddiness was hard to do.

"I will soon contact the Toparay Faries, and their queen. And maybe, just maybe, they might even help you gain some of your memories back."

In a flash of skirts and bright sparkles, the elven queen's glitter dress disappeared from sight, getting ready to write a message, and leaving Lilica all alone with time to contemplate about the future.



Hey!: I know that this chapter is short, but at least I'm uploading something. It probably stinks, but I'm a little preoccupied right now. The quarter has just ended and guess what!? I've brought an F in my Spanish class up to an A+! But that was only because I got a low score on this video thing which was hard to follow. Anyway, if you'd notice, Tenny's name had been changed to Vex in the last chapter. Lilica still doesn't know about Drakkar and having a mate (she thinks that she's a princess of some fairy kingdom by blood), how will she react when she finds out about this, what will she do when she see's him, etc etc. REVIEW PLEASE PLEASe PLEAse PLEase PLease Please please… - it's supposed to resemble an echo of pleases ^^~ -it's a mouse. Bye!
