Chapter Four
The sun was slowly rising over the horizon as Heero and the others finished loading their horses. A cool breeze blew the grass and the leaves n the trees. Heero smiled as he looked up at the two approaching figures. "Here to see us off?" he asked, as Brisk and Destiny stopped in front of him. "No. We're coming with you." Brisk replied as a servant approached with a horse. "WHAT?!" Wufei exclaimed. "You can't be serious! It's far too dangerous for the two of you! Yuy!" Heero smiled as he looked from Wufei to the princesses before him. "I figured you would. Well, let's get moving, It'll take all day to reach the border before nightfall." Heero replied as he mounted his horse. "Heero!" Quatre huphed. "We can't allow them to go. What if something were to happen?" "Then you can be the one to tell them to stay." Heero replied as he climbed onto his horse. Frowning, Quatre returned to his own horse, and mounted. Soon, the group was ready, and quickly they rode off. Brisk looked back and watched as her kingdom grew smaller and smaller as they rode. 'Dear kingdom, why do I feel this will be the last time I see you at peace until the end of the Northland?'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destiny hummed happily from her position on the horse with Heero. She swayed slightly to a tune only she could hear. Her golden blonde hair blew slightly as the horse rode at a steady pace. Her sky blue eyes glittered as she watched her home of Iven Grove slip past her. Beside them, Brisk watched carefully, worried about Destiny's special gift. To his left, Duo occasionally glanced over. Smiling at Destiny, and gazing at Heero. So far, the two hadn't spoken more than a few words to each other, and the only friendly words were from Duo. Behind them, were Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre. No one spoke for the first few hours of the trip, but by mid-day, they had begun to make peaceful conversation. Duo was amazed at how different the princess of the Forest Elves was from the stories his mother had told him. 'Mother? Mom! I bet she's got the whole kingdom out looking for me! Good thing I didn't tell Hilde where I was going.' Duo grinned. Ever since he was little, Hilde had always been around. Although many thought them to eventually grow up and marry, Duo never thought of her as more than a friend. Sure, he could tell she liked him, but it was a one sided affection that he had no part of. A breeze began to pick up as they stopped for a quick lunch. They sat up their gear under a large oak. Destiny grinned as she plopped down between Heero and Duo. "I'm hungry!" the small child exclaimed as she bounced up and down slightly. Duo smiled. He found the young elf to be quite amusing, and she was so young. It was unusual for anyone to possess the wishsong, but to have it mastered at such a young age was incredible! Brisk placed herself on the other side of Heero. She closed her eyes and let the wind blow over her. No trace of magic passed through her, sighing, she smiled, now knowing that Destiny hadn't used her magic. She paused as she looked at Heero. He had always encouraged Destiny with her power, yet he had never seemed to care to use his own. It wasn't that he couldn't control it; he just never pushed its use unless it was necessary. "How much longer until we reach the edge of the Forest?" Quatre asked in between bites. "We should reach it by night fall. We'll camp along the border; I'd rather have a full rest before we pass." Heero replied as he watched the lush green earth blow. "What's the deal with the border?" Duo asked, curious as to why everyone wanted to know where the plains ended. "The borders are where our magic ends. We won't be under elvish protection anymore." Destiny whispered as the others went on to discuss further travel plans. "I thought the Forest Elves protected far past the forest?" Duo frowned. Destiny looked at him for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Everyone in the group turned to her, and then went back to their discussion. After claming down, Destiny turned and smiled. "We try to protect as much as we can. When I was younger, mama used to tell me that our main goal is to ensure peace of the lands. But ever since they disappeared, my sister has had to use her own magic to protect our home. She's not as strong as mom and dad, so her magic can only reach so far." Destiny stopped as she took a bite from her apple. Duo looked back out into the forest. It seemed that everything he ever thought of the Forest Elves were wrong. They weren't bent of the destruction of the Shadow Elves; no one was for that matter.
By midday, the small group was halfway to the border. Duo looked around, his first time actually taking notice since his conversation with Destiny. The group had decided to ride to the border and make camp. Starting out before sunrise the next day, they would ride as far as they could, before stopping to make camp. It was all about speed. The objective was to cover as much ground as possible in as little time as possible.
Relena sighed as she reread the letter from Brisk. "I guess we have no choice. Brisk and Destiny have accompanied Heero and the others on their journey north, but I wonder why?" "This will be the final time the north will cause a threat. Brisk plans on combining Destiny's power with Heero's." Millardo replied. "You can't be serious?! A combination of their powers' could wipe out and entire nation!" Relena gasped as she stood up and paced around the sitting room. "How could anyone be crazy enough to support that kind of union?!" Millardo sighed as he walked over to the window. "It has nothing to do with being crazy Relena. Brisk plans on eliminating the evil that is the northland. Only Heero and Destiny have the power to pull this off...but I wonder if they can do this and live."
"How on Earth did I let Duo get away without knowing where he was going?" Hilde growled as she made her way through the forest. She had been given the task of traveling to the Sank Kingdom to find out about Duo. "I'll never let him outta my sight again!" Hilde fumed as she stumped her toe on a root. "Stupid roots. Why did I have to do this? It's not my fault Duo can't let people know where he's going'!"
Heero looked down as he pulled his horse to a halt. The sun was setting and the shadows were all but faded. In his lap, Destiny was snoozing away. He smiled as he slowly passed her down to Brisk who had already gotten off her horse. Wufei was setting up a fire as Quatre and Trowa unpacked the equipment. Duo stood off to the side, unsure of what to do. "Duo," Brisk called as she walked up to him. "Would you take Destiny for me?" Duo looked surprised at the princess. "She seems to trust you as much as she does me and Heero, so I trust you as well." Brisk smiled as Duo took the small elf from her arms. As she walked off to set up a place to sleep for Destiny and herself, Duo looked down at the sleeping child. Such an amazing amount of power was stored in her small frame. It was incredible to think that he was traveling with the two most powerful magic users in the lands. Duo snapped out of his thoughts as Destiny stirred and moaned in her sleep. He frowned, what would trouble her in her sleep? "What's wrong Duo?" Brisk asked as she noticed his frown. "She seems troubled." he faded as he looked up. Brisk was frowning as she sat down beside him on a log. "I'm gonna tell you something Duo, Heero and the others already know. Destiny has been having nightmares since the disappearance of our parents. One night, I tried to use my powers to see her dreams, but a block kept me from viewing. I think she is being watched." "Watched? What do you mean?" Duo raised an eyebrow. "I think the evil of the northland seeks to have her power..and Heero's as well. However, the difference between Heero and Destiny is that Heero can block out the images, Destiny can't." Brisk sighed as she brushed her hand across Destiny's face. Duo didn't respond. He looked from the two sisters over to Heero. The Forest Elf was staring at the fire, eyes distant as he thought of things from times Duo did not know. Quatre and Trowa sat, holding hands and watching the fire, while Wufei sat up for the leave tomorrow. It was going to be a long journey indeed.
"What do you mean by 'and live'?" Relena asked as she came to stand by her brother. "The use of magic can seriously drain a person, I just wonder if the two can handle such a loss of energy." Millardo sighed. "You're more worried about Destiny, not Heero." Relena replied as she glanced out the window. Millardo nodded, for he had no reason to use words. Heero was older, and better at controlling his magic. Destiny was a young child with no real training, except for the few lessons Heero had gone over with her, how would she survive..how would either of them survive?
