Chapter 12:
~*~ Angelic Visitor ~*~
The wedding was great, everyone had a good time, and there were no problems. Lyra and Will enjoyed seeing their old friends again. After the wedding, Lyra, Will, and Mary went home to pack. They would be going for a good, long stay with their mulefa friends. Since they had learned to travel, they had not been to visit them too often, so they were very excited.
It was beautiful there. When they arrived, Mary walked to the mulefa village, in search of her friend Atal. Will and Lyra picked up some supplies from the village, then set off for the nearest seedpod tree grove. The last time they had come, Mary showed them how to climb the trees safely. They reached a tree, set up their ropes and harnesses, and began to climb. They loved to climb these massive trees; it was fun, and a good exercise.
Will stopped climbing, after a while. Lyra climbed on ahead, as he took in the magnificent view. He could see for miles, all around. The ocean was to the west, there was a nice beach down there. And he could see a few more tree groves, farther on east. There was a small stream, and of course, the mulefa village. It was amazing. And everything was so clean and beautiful out here. Not at all like the polluted world he lived in. Then he saw Lyra; she had stopped too, just a little higher up than him. She was looking out at the ocean. He thought she was beautiful. He stayed, watching her, for a few moments longer. But then he was pulled out of his blissful state by a loud cracking sound beneath him. The small branch that was supporting him had snapped. He quickly scrambled to grab hold of something, anything, but it was no use. He began to fall. It all happened in only a few seconds.
"Will!" Shouted Lyra, panicking. She tried to grab his hand, but he was too far away. Will fell a few feet down, when he was suddenly jerked to a stop. Will's rope had snagged a tree branch, and he stopped falling. He let out a sigh of relief and quickly scrambled up, as Lyra worked to fix his rope. Will climbed up towards her. When they met, she hugged him close. "Don't you ever do that again Will Parry! You scared me. Are you alright?" He nodded, but didn't say anything. He just held her tight. After a few minutes, they climbed back down to the ground. The two of them slowly walked back to the village.

Later that night, Will and Lyra went for a moonlight walk on the beach. They were still a little shaken from their scare earlier. They walked along the edge of the cool water together, watching the stars.
"Look!" Said Lyra, pointing excitedly at the sky. "A shooting star!" Will looked too.
"That's no star," he replied. "That's an angel." And indeed it was. The angel flew down towards them.
"Hello." Said the angel, when she reached them. "I am Xaphania. You have met me before, years ago." She reminded them.
"Yes, we remember you." Said Lyra.
"I wanted to speak with you two." Xaphania said. But Will interrupted, for a horrible thought had come to his mind.
"No!" He shouted. "If you've come to separate us again…we won't let you! I know you said we wouldn't be traveling through worlds anymore, but this way is safe. No Dust is getting out, because there are no windows. We won't let you stop us!" When Lyra heard him say this, she became frightened as well. Was that why the angel had come? Lyra couldn't bear to think of life without Will again.
"Calm down." Said Xaphania. "I did not come to separate you. I simply want to wish you a long, happy life together, and to say that I have never been wrong before, until now. I told you that you would not be traveling between worlds anymore, and, evidently, I was wrong. I am happy to be wrong, I think every being who knew of your situation wished you could've stayed together. And now you have found each other. I wish luck to the both of you.
"I'm sorry I shouted at you." Said Will, a little embarrassed.
"It is alright." Answered the angel Xaphania. "Farewell."
"Goodbye." Said Lyra. "I hope we meet again one day."
"Goodbye, Xaphania. Good luck to you." Said Will. The angel smiled at them, then spread her wings, and rose into the night.
