*Chapter Thirteen - Destiny*
Harmonie pulled at Sunni, trying to make her go
through the forest faster, "Common Princess! Hurry!"
Melodie rolled her eyes at her half-sister, "Harmonie! Give
her some breathing room!" She scolded.
Sunni laughed, "Where are you taking me?"
Harmonie grinned, "We're almost there!"
They soon came to a clearing were there was a beautiful
waterfall. The water practically flew down from the rocks,
creating different gleaming colors. The water at the bottom was
clear and clean.
Sunni stared in awe at the view, "This is beautiful."
She said solemnly.
Melodie smiled, "We're glad you like it."
Sunni looked down at her dirty clothes. She felt horrible,
"Do you thinkI could maybe"
Harmonie flew off for a moment and came back with a towel, some
sweet smelling soap, and fresh clothes, "You can bathe here
if you like. We will stand guard!" Harmonie handed off the
items and saluted.
Sunni giggled, "Thank-you Harmonie."
Sunni carefully made her way down to the water and sat by the
rock for a moment. She removed her clothing and slipped into the
cool water. She scrubbed all the dirt off of herself and washed
out her hair. Sunni smelt the sweet fragrance of the soap and
closed her eyes; remembering all that had happened in the last
few hours.
Mikhai...is he dead?...how am I going to leave this place?
Where is Sanyo?
Tears filled her eyes and she quickly splashed them out with the
water.
She finished and dried herself off with the towel. She then
proceeded to get into the clothes Harmonie had left her with. She
held up the pale violet dress to examine it.
It was very elegant with trimmings and delicate stitch-work. She
slipped it over her head and tugged on it. The neckline curved
into a triangle, it was very low and made her blush just looking
at it.
The sleeves were long and loose at the end and the middles were
tight and stuck to her skin. It flowed down her body, tight
around someplaces and loosely in others. The material was very
soft and it's pale violet color made the violet in Sunni's
blue-violet eyes stand out.
It looks like something a storybook Princess would wear. Sunni
thought to herself.
Sunni picked up her clothes that she had worn before and folded
them neatly. Then she headed back up. She found the one of the
chibi cherubz waiting for her at the top.
Sunni smiled and sat down, allowing Harmonie to land on her.
Harmonie sat cross-legged on Sunni's palm, "Melodie made
lunch!"
Sunni looked down at her stomach as it growled in response.
Harmonie giggled and fell backward, "I don't know if we can
feed someone your size though. Your stomach is much bigger. Yup
yup."
Sunni blushed, she didn't want to be a nuisance,
"SorryI-"
Melodie zoomed in as if on cue, "Sorry it took me so
longoh Princess! You're done?"
Harmonie hopped up from Sunni's palm, "Goody! Now we can
eat!"
Melodie led the other two to a small clearing were a blanket was
laid out with food strung out all over it.
Sunni gaped at all the food, "How did you make this?"
Melodie blushed, "I'm sorryis it too much? It's just
been awhile since we've had company"
"No no no. It's wonderful"
Sunni sat down; then was surprised when she looked up to see the
two cherubz waiting anxiously for something.
"What?" She was confused.
Melodie smiled a little, "It's the custom for the royalty to
eat the first bite."
"Oh." Sunni felt a little odd.
She took a bite into something. And then the other two began
eating.
Harmonie grinned at her, "I've never really been into
customs either. Melodie insists we must be polite though."
Melodie rolled her eyes and glared at Harmonie for a quick
moment. Then she looked at Sunni sympathetically, asking for
forgiveness without words.
Sunni nodded, and tried to get a conversation going, "So are
you three related or something?"
Melodie shook her head, "Me and Harmonie are closer to being
related than Celestia is to either of us. But sometimes we feel
as though we have a connection."
Harmonie laughed, "We don't know much about our selves! But
we to know that we have a destiny!"
Melodie nodded her head, "Yes, we each have a destiny.
Celestia's goes with her knowledge. She tells things that need to
be known. My destiny deals with feelings and the way people act.
And Harmonie's des-"
Harmonie interrupted Melodie, wanting to say it herself,
"II don't know my destiny."
Harmonie sighed and bit into a small piece of bread, her wings
bent low. Her optimism faltering for a moment.
A while away, Leira was searching fruitlessly through the forest.
She wandered through the brush, calling Sanyo's name.
"Numskull! Sanyo! Where did you go to?" She sighed.
"Why did he have to run off like this?" She rolled her
eyes.
Leira felt herself growing dizzy from all her walking. Her head
was spinning as she braced herself against a tree.
Her light violet hair fell over her face as she fell to the
ground, trying to regain herself.
Her hand were soon the only thing holding her up as she fell to
the ground, leaving the forest scene to rest in her mind, "I
wasn't a strong enough guardian" Her voice trailed
off.
While Leira gave into the darkness, Sanyo was trying his hardest
not to.
He was less than twenty-five feet away when he had heard his name
being called from somewhere.
"Hello? Is someone there?" He called weakly.
He sighed, wishing he had stopped when Leira had told him.
Stillhe had to find Sunni
"Don't worry. I'll save you."
He made himself this solemn promise before finally giving into
the darkness.
That was when Celestia stumbled across him.
"So it was you. You are the one who entered our forest
without royal blood in your veins."
She laughed silently before picking him up and dragging him to
where the others were.
Celestia hadn't realized there were two intruders though. She
left Leira there in the forest.
After their lunch, Sunni decided to go back to the waterfall and
take in its beauty while she thought.
After all that's happened. Finding out I was a Princess...my
parents weren't really my parents...Sanyo...Mikhai...Where will I
go from here? If I stay here I'll be safe from Heio...won't I?
Her thoughts were interrupted when Melodie started screaming out
to Sunni, "Princess! Princess! Celestia has found
someone!"
Sunni hurried up to the two small cherubz. Harmonie pointed at
Celestia, who was still big.
Sunni stared, "Celes-"
Celestia nodded her head and pointed down to the heap next to
her, "I found him in the woods. He disrupted the law of the
forest and for it he was punished with eternal sleep."
"Eternal sleep? What does that mean Celestia?"
Celestia's eyes closed and her voice changed, as if she was
reciting someone else's words, not her own, "Eternal sleep
is the punishment for entering the forest. Only them of the royal
blood may enter"
Her trance ended and her eyes opened to see a horrified-looking
Sunni; who was staring at the person on the ground.
Sunni put her hands to her mouth, "S-Sanyo?" She said
softly with an intake of air.
She rushed to him, "Common Sanyo! Wake up! Wake up!"
She shook him.
Tears streamed out of Sunni's eyes, dropping to the ground. The
ground eagerly soaked up her tears, leaving nothing there.
Melodie looked at the young princess with saddened eyes,
"How can our beautiful forest destroy someone like
this?"
Harmonie fluttered around in a distressed manor, finally she
decided it was time.
"Powers from past generations. Give us strength for this new
one. Give me power to save this one that the Princess mourns
over."
Harmonie's petite figure grew bigger until she was Sunni, Sanyo,
and Celestia's size.
"This is my destiny." Harmonie said with a hollow tone.
Sunni stopped crying at looked over at the small cherub,
"Harmonie? What are you-"
Celestia put a hand swiftly over Sunni's mouth, gently keeping
her from speaking.
"Take me instead. Into the eternal sleep"
Melodie let out a small gasp, "Harmonie! No!"
Celestia ran towards Harmonie, leaving Sunni and Sanyo were they
were, "Stop! Don't do it Harmonie!"
Sunni stared in shock, not knowing what was happening.
A sharp pink light threw Celestia back. Soft music was heard as a
light shot down from the sky, circling Harmonie.
Harmonie's eyes clouded over, and she fell to the ground.
The light ceasing.
The music stopping.
And Harmonie
Was gone.
