*Chapter Fourteen - The End is Near*
"Leira! AWAKEN!" King Hindon's image
was projected in Leira's mind. She jolted awake and stood with a
newfound energy.
She stood quickly and called out into the forest, her words
coming to her easily, "Forest creatures! King Hindon has
sent me here on a mission, I am the guardian of the young
Princess Ceridwena! She is my mistress and I am to guard her. I
am searching for her and a friend of hers. Please. In the name of
the King, allow me passage."
A mummer seemed to go up through the trees, as though they were
asking each other whether to accept this new comer or not.
After a few moments, Leira's hopes shot down and she lowered her
head.
Just as she was begging to think she should turn around, she
heard something.
A few leaves fell to the ground, as the trees near her appeared
to bow before her.
Leira was quite startled and not used to this type of treatment.
She glanced up, then she looked around at the strange sight.
A blue-grey cat came through the bushes, "Leira. Please
forgive their behavior. They did no know it was you."
Leira gasped at the kitten, "Who are you? How do you know my
name?" She backed away from him.
The cat's eyes went glossy, as he moved back a bit, "I
forgotyou don't know meit's just that I know you so
well"
There was a flash of blue-grey light and the cat had transformed
into a man slightly taller than Leira.
"I am Feirö. Mikhai's guardian."
"Feirö? B-but I didn't know Mikhai had a-"
He smiled, showing his sparkling white teeth, "I know. Not
even Mikhai knows he has a guardian."
Feirö wore slacks and a long-sleeve blue-gray shirt. His hair
was sliver-blue and his eyes were gray.
Leira looked puzzlingly at the man, "Why are you here if
you're his guardian?"
"I rule this part of the forest." He said, waving his
hand about, motioning around the area.
"Oh."
"Leirayou said you were looking for Ceri. Would you
like to come with me? I think I know where she is at."
Leira's eyes brightened, "Oh yes! Please!"
She really didn't want to seem so excited, but she couldn't help
it.
Feirö's face lightened and he smiled broadly, "I'm pretty
sure she's staying with the Chibi Cherubz."
"The Chibi who?"
"Cherubz." Feirö said as he started to walk through
the brush and trees.
Leira hurried after him, "So if you're Mikhai's guardian,
then how come you're not with him?"
Feirö sighed, "Mikhai didn't need protecting, so I was put
here to guard this side of the forest. I'm not allowed to leave
the forest and I can't sense Mikhai at all. I don't really seem
like a guardian, do I?"
"Nonot really." Leira replied thoughtfully.
"HARMONIE!!!!" Melodie screamed.
She ran to where Harmonie had stood and collapsed on her hands
and knees, sobbing.
Sunni stared in shock, Sanyo still in her arms.
He stirred in his sleep, "Sunni-chan?"
Sunni looked down at him, "S-sanyo? Are you okay?"
Celestia stood, motionless. Then anger filled her eyes as
knowledge ran through her head. She spun around to look at Sanyo,
who was being helped up by Sunni.
"You." She said angrily, pointing her index finger at
him, "You did all of this!"
Sanyo stared at her, "What?"
Celestia approached him, "If you would have listened to the
Princess's guardian then none of this would have happened! Had
you not came in the forest then Harmonie would be alive and
Melodie would be like this!" Celestia gave a glance at the
over-emotional cherub who was crying on the ground in rasp sobs.
Sanyo stepped away from her, "I-I don't know what you are
talking about. W-what happened? Who is Harmonie?"
Celestia glared at him and stopped in her tracks, "I wish I
hadn't sensed a disturbance in the forest."
Melodie's cries turned into sniffles as she stood up,
"D-d-d-don't blame anyone Celestia"
Celestia swirled around to Melodie, "What is it
Melodie?"
"Don't blame *sniff* him. Harmonie did a good *sniff* deed.
Besidesthis is our destiny"
"What?" Celestia's eyes filled with fear, she had no
knowledge of this, "What do you mean Melodie?"
"It's all so clear now. All these years we spent protecting
the foresttaking care of itit was all for this."
Melodie's eyes filled with tears, "We've always felt
connectednow that Harmonie has given herself up we both go
too. This is all of our destinies."
Celestia stared in shock, "NoNO! NO NO NO NO NO!"
She screamed, covering her ears with her hands. She closed her
eyes and shook her head.
Sunni gasped as the two cherubz who had helped hersaved
herdisappeared.
Sanyo's eyes widened and he turned to Sunni, "How much did I
miss?"
Sunni ignored him and continued to stare at the clearing. Even
though she had just met the three chibi cherubz, she felt like
they had been friends forever.
And now all three were gone.
A tear rolled down her cheek.
Sanyo's instinct took over him and he held onto her, trying to
take it all in.
Sunni fell limp in his arms, shaking and crying silently.
Sanyo looked up at the blue sky, sighing.
He sat for a long time, thinking, She's been through so much.
Sunni soon fell asleep, drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
Sanyo stood up carefully, picking her up in his arms and carrying
her through the woods, "Don't worry Sunni, I won't let
anything happen to you."
He kissed her on her cheek. She smiled in her sleep and stirred
slightly.
He smiled warmly at her, "Don't worry. The end is near.
You'll be safe soon."
A Sunnie Note: *//(^ ^)\\* Okokok. This chappie isn't very
bigbut I wanted to updateso I wrote a kinda short
onesorry.
Anyway, I wrote a story in my drama section in honor of 9-11.
It's my experience mixed with one of my cousin's. Hence the name,
'Jamie's Thoughts'. It's hers and mine combined.
Sunnie has been feeling sick for quite awhilesore
throat*sniff* I don't want to be sick.
I'm going to try to finish this story up in a LONG last chappie.
(That would be the next one.) Not sure. I might make a
sequel, but I don't know what it would be about. It might be a
story about Leira or the Chibi Cherubzor Sunni's
futureI don't know. What do y'all think?

Story Recommendations (Read these! They're really good!!!):
If You Only Knew by kawaiiteddybear
This is a very touching story. Sakura has to change her identy
and escape to Hong Kong! Syaoran thinks she's dead... I really
like this one.
Buddies in Love by kotsch
This story IS complete and well worth reading! I couldn't think
of a summary worthy enough for this story...so I'm using the
author's summary: Sakura is tomboyish, sporty and doesn't care
about boys; Syaoran is athletic, silent and doesn't care about
girls.If they're the best of friends, what do they have in
common???
Neko Goddess by rose senshi
This is an orginal fanfic and very original! It's well written
and very humorous. Here's the rose senchi's summary: Sakuya's
parents own a billion dollar company. She never expected to be
normal- but she never expected to be living with a boy whom turns
into a cat when eating chocolate either.
No time for any others. Sorrie. Btw, has anyone noticed
that I spell a lot of things with 'ie' at the end instead of 'y'?
It's because of my nameSunnIE. So I spell some things 'ie'.
(I just thought that someone might find that interesting)
