"Heero? You have partnered with a Shadow Elf?" Brisk asked, amused.
"He was given permission by the King and Preistess of Sank." Heero frowned. Brisk smiled and turned back to Duo.
"Despite the past events between our races, I am honored you would help." Duo facefaulted at the princess's words.
"Thanks! I never expected that from a future queen of the Forest Elves."
"I think it is time we move on from the past, and look to the future." Brisk replied with a smile. "Quatre. It is good to see you again. Are you keeping a tight leash on Trowa?" Brisk grinned as Quatre blushed and Trowa glanced away. "It is also good to see you again Wufei. You know your abilities are always a joy to witness in action. Even our best Rangers don't match you." Wufei bowed slightly and thanked the Princess. Smiling, she turned to look at her sister. "Come along sweetie. I'm sure our guest are hungry." Destiny grinned as she grabbed Heero's hand, and followed her sister down the hall.
"Quatre, is they kin to Heero?" Duo asked during the meal.
"No. Ever since her birth, Destiny has refurred to him as Heero'." Quatre replied. Duo nodded and returned to his thoughts. Nothing had been answered. He had yet to see why there was any bond between Heero and the Princess, other than the fact that they were both Forest Elves. Sighing, Duo gazed around the room. It was a large room. Decorated with the brightest colors to indicate that the dining hall was a place of merriment to them. Wine was served in the finest glasses, and the cooked meat surved on the finest plates. A tug at his sleeve brought Duo out of his observations. He turned to see the young princess, Destiny, starring up at him.
"Do you have any magic?" she whispered, almost as if she didn't want anyone else to here her. "I do." she grinned proudly. Duo smiled and leaned down toward her.
"As a matter of fact I do." he replied. "Have you ever heard of a Summoner?"
"I've heard hushed whispers about them....are you one?" she awed. Duo nodded as Destiny bounced in her seat. "What can you do?" she whispered, and glanced around quickly to make sure no one was looking.
"Well...." Duo paused as a thought struck him. "Tell you what. After dinner, we'll go outside and I show you, but in return, I'd like you to answer some questions for me, deal?"
"Yeah!" Destiny grinned as she grabbed his pinky in her's and shook it. Duo smiled as she settled herself back into her seat and hurried to finish her meal.
Finally, dinner ended, and Destiny latched on to Duo's arm.
"You haven't forgotten your deal, have you?" she asked.
"Of course not." Duo smiled as he let the young princess lead the way outside. She quickly took him to a secluded part of the gardens, and turned to face him.
"So, what are you gonna do first?" she asked eagerly. Duo smiled.
"You've heard of Nature Spirits, right?"
"Of course, my tutor told me all about them."
"Ever seen one?" Destiny paused and looked down at her feet.
"No. They say only advanced Summoners, and specific elves can call upon them."
"Well, I just happen to be one of those Summoners!" Duo grinned. "What type do you like most?"
"Tree Spirits!" Destiny exclaimed excitedly.
"Very well then...." Duo said as he stood up, and led the way over to a young tree. Placing one hand on the tree, he bowed his head, closed his eyes, and mumbled a spell. Straining her ears, Destiny tried to hear what was said, but stopped as she saw Duo's hand begin to glow, spreading to the tree. Balls of light flew out the tree, and small winged creature appeared. Slowly, Duo removed his hand from the tree and Turned to Destiny. The small elf princess was busy trying to catch one of the flying spirits. "You won't catch them, I can promise you that." Duo laughed.
"Then how do you hold one?" She asked.
"Like this." Duo said as he gently grabbed her hands, and lifted them in the air. "Hold it steady, the spirits need to feel comfortable to stay long enough to be able to get a good look." Destiny smiled as several landed in her palms. Slowly, she moved them closer to her body.
"They're so pretty." she sighed. "I hope I look that pretty when I grow up, or at least as pretty as my sister." Duo frowned at that statement, straighting himself, he looke down at Destiny.
"Let's go sit down by the tree, and you can answer my questions."
"Ok!" Destiny grinned as she moved to sit under the tree, watching the spirits flutter about.
"So, does Heero know your sister?"
"They met when they were my age. In the Southlands, there's a Forest with a lake called, Springhove."
"Springhove? What were they doing there?" Duo asked.
"Heero was born there. All the decendants of Tri Yuy, including her, were born there. Mommy, Daddy, and sissy, went there see if this was true, that's when they met Heero." Destiny grinned. Duo frowned. How could they have all been born there, and the Shadow Elves not know?
"Is that information widely known?"
"No. Many people don't know. Sisssy says it protects the children of the Yuy family. They're left in custody of the Faries."
"To be so young, you sure know alot." Duo raised an eyebrow.
"I'm ten years old! Besides, it's my duty to know whats going on." Duo cocked his head to the side. This was no ordinary ten year old. even for a princess it was odd. "Hey! Wanna see my magic?!" Destiny grinned.
"Uh, ok." Duo shruged. Grinning for ear to ear, the small princess stood, and clasped her hands together. Softly, she began to sing. With a rustle of the wind, she closed her eyes, and sang louder. Boldly her words floated out onto the breeze. Duo listened closely, amazed at what he was hearing. Only a few accounts of this gift had ever been heard of, the Wishsong(1). The Wishsong, a powerful gift that comes from the deepest part of the user's soul. It calls forth the emotions of the individual, and turns them into a song of magic. Quickly, he looked back up at the tree. The Spirits floated in alignment in front of the tree. The leaves turned a dark shade of green, and the bark took on a healthy shade. Duo turned back to Destiny as her song faded.
"You....you...you posses the Wishsong!" Duo exclaimed. Destiny beamed as she sat down beside him again.
"Yup! But don't let anyone know I showed it to you, I could get in big trouble!" Duo nodded as he continued to stare. She's definantely no normal ten year old!

"It's been a long time Heero." Brisk sighed. They were alone in the sitting room. The others had excussed themselves earlier to their rooms, and the Shadow Elf had been taken hold of by Destiny.
"Yes it has." Heero replied, bringing her out of her thoughts.
"I'm glad your back. The earth seems more alive where ever you are."
"I take it you know about the poison." Heero stated.
"Yes. I was curious as to how it was effecting you. I know you have a strong bond with the earth, even though you were concevied through natural processes." Brisk blushed.
"You never could discuss that subject." Heero smirked.
"It's not proper for a princess!" Brisk argued. "But I'm older now, and things have changed. Sex, sex, sex. See? There. I said it!" Brisk blushed even further. Heero chuckled and relaxed into the high back chair. Suddenly, Brisk looked at him slyly. "Well, what about this Shadow Elf?"
"What?!" Heero chocked.
"You know who I mean. He's very attractive....and I think he's got something for you." Brisk grinned.
"You don't think. You know." Heero corrected.
"I'm not a seer for nothing!" Brisk grinned. Heero sighed, and shook his head. It was nice though, the pleasant talk. It had definatly been to long since he had seen his best friend, his first friend. "Heero, I suppose Relena is curious as to what I plan to do. I wish I knew. With my parents missing, I have to raise Destiny, and rule over Lore. I suppose though, I will do as all rulers are expected, and make the choice I fell is best for my people, but how do I know it will be the right one?" Heero looked at her face closely. It was the first time he had doen so since they arrived. It was now he noticed she looked haggard, as though from lack of sleep, and worry.
"All you can do is base your decisions on what you know. You know that sooner or later, the Northlands will attack, so, all you can ask yourself is, will your kingdom be able to stand against them?"
"I know what your suggesting, and I believe your right. I will mobilize the troops. I will send word to Sank that I am preparing for battle. The West, East, and South lands will have to stand together. This has to end." Brisk said as she stood. "Heero, I suppose you and your company will be leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes." Heero nodded.
"Then you had better go get some rest. I have some things to take care of before the morning. Good night Heero." Brisk smiled warmly as she bent down and kissed him chastly on the lips, then walked out the room. Smiling, Heero stood, and made his way to his room for some sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo stumbled into his room. Quickly, he removed his day clothing, and slipped into his night clothes. He pulled back the covers to the lush bed, and climbed in. As he drifted off to sleep, he went back over the conversation with Destiny, and smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Damn it! Winner, Barton!" Wufei shouted as he banged on the door to the two boys rooms.
"What Wufei?" Trowa asked as he opened the door. Wufei's hand flew to his nose as he looked at the sight in the door way. Trowa stood, buck naked in the door way, obviously miffed about being interrupted. Wufei's nose pulsed blood even harder as Quatre, equaly naked, joined his koi at the door.
"Do you mind Wufei?!" Quatre frowned.
"Have you no decencey?! Put soem cloths on before you answer a door! Or better yet, just keep it down so I don't even have to knock!" Wufei shouted as he rushed back to his room, slamming the door shut behind him. "Yuy will pay for this."
