Chapter 4-Troubled Pasts
::!FLASH!::
Celena looks up...her silver locks sway gently in the soft wind.......
Her lilac satin dress swirls around her.....
-C-Celena?-
::!FLASH!::
Such sadness...sorrow...a single eye...illuminated in the darkness...
::!FLASH!::
....Blood....
Bodies.....
An empty field...with..blue..forget-me-nots...?
This field...has.a.strange.feeling.
As though...a great injustice were commited here. Long ago...concealed...never exposed...
::!FLASH!::
Sky felt the cold pavings beneath her swollen cheek. She picked herself up and stood uneasily on her feet, swaying queasily in the chill wind.
The weather had changed to reflect her eyes...a misty grey full of swirling doubts...
"What the hell just happened?!" she demanded to know. The only answer she got was a low rumble from the stormy clouds above.
She pulled her cloak more tightly around her to shield herself from the cold wind.
She decided that it was just a day-dream. Nothing more. She shoved the memory of it away. Pushed into the furthest recesses of her mind where it couldn't trouble her. Locked up along with her troubled past.
-Wondering about it won't help me now. I have to find shelter.-
She stopped for a second. And half-turned to look up at the fading city in the distance. Palas.
-We'll see each other again-
With a grim smile she pulled her hood down over her eyes and walked on to face the relentless wind.
So Sky forgot about the Vision.
And like everything else she forced herself to forget.
It would come back to haunt her.

Millerna looked up at the dark sky in wonder...
-How did the weather change so fast..? If it carries on like this homes may be destroyed...-
"Eries?"
"Millerna."
"Are there any shelters for the people in case of any natural disasters?"
"I believe so."
"What do you mean, you believe so?? Are there any or not?"
"Calm down Millerna. There are some underground shelters...but..."
"But??"
"They have not been in use for some time. They may no longer be safe."
"But what if this storm gets worse? The people will have no-where to go!"
"You must understand Millerna. There is nothing we can do now. After the weather calms I will personally make sure the old shelters are restored."
"......"
"Millerna?"
"That doesn't help them now."
"Oh Millerna..." Millerna's older sister sounded patronising. That tone annoyed her most. She was about to tell her how much she hated it when she remembered Eries wouldn't argue but simply back down and ignore her. Instead she summoned her patience and spoke politely.
"Please leave me in peace."
"As you wish." As she usually did Eyries left silently. Without complaint or a sign of discontent. Hiding it as the well-trained advisor/princess she was.
Millerna was in the castle gardens. A labrynth of hedges, only she and the gardeners who made it knew it like the back of hand, having spent her childhood adventuring in it and being repeatedly chided for her torn dresses and grass-stained silk socks.
As she turned to go in her purple veil tore in the strong wind, releasing her pale, long blonde hair to stream out behind her like a banner.
"Oh..!" Realising she wouldn't be able to retrieve it she rolled her eyes to glance again at the grey, cloud-filled sky above it...for a second she let her mind wander and the image of his face appeared in her mind...
"Allen..." She bowed her head and as she walked back in the direction of the castle a tiny tear managed to squeeze out of her eye...Whether it was the strong wind or the thought of her lost love, it was impossible to tell.
