Chapter Seven
The sun rose quickly on the small group from that came from Iven Grove. They were a day behind in their travels, and would have to keep a steady pace to make up for the loss. Cooking a portion of their meat, they group ate quickly, packed their things, and started off. Destiny sat silently as the rode, lost deep within herself. She kept picturing the woman from her vision, who has she been? Brisk watched her sister closely as they packed. The small princess had been acting strangely since she had awoken the previous night. She had kept close to Heero, almost to the point that she was underfoot, but Heero never said anything. Sighing, Brisk climbed aboard her horse. Duo frowned. It had been an unusually quiet morning, not even Destiny had spoken. He found himself worrying more and more about the small elf, but that didn't take his mind of Heero though. What was with that guy? It seemed he had no problem showing kindness to Brisk and Destiny, and even a little bit to the others, but what was it about Duo? Deciding to focus on the strange events of day before, Duo lost himself in his thoughts.
"I don't like this Yuy." Wufei tossed over his shoulder. "We've been over the boarder for hours now and we've seen no sign of life." "Perhaps they won't come a certain distance near the border?" Quatre asked. "I doubt it." Trowa replied, glancing around. They were fast approaching a thick forest that offered no comfort. "Just because the border ends, it doesn't mean the magic does." Duo mumbled. Destiny looked over at him with wonder. "How did you know that?" she leaned closer, almost falling off the horse. Heero scooped her back up straight on the horse, then turned to Duo. "What did you say?" "Elven magic is an amazing thing. It has an essence to it that only the creature the magic is used against can detect. My guess is that essence of the border's magic carries even this far." Duo looked up and blinked as he relized the entire group has stopped and were focused on him. Quickly he looked for something to focus on, and settled on Destiny. She was looking off towards the forest, lost in her own world. "If Maxwell's right, then we should be safe for the night." Wufei grumbled as he looked toward the sky. "No. We'll be way out of the protection of the magic by then." Heero sighed as he turned to face the forest. Brisk cocked her head to the side. It was odd that Heero and Destiny should do so many of the same things. Her gaze swithed back and forth from her sister to Heero. Their expressions were exactly the same, and Brisk figured their thoughts were on the same line as well. A light touch on her shoulder brought her back. Trowa looked at her, then at Heero and Destiny. "I know what you think princess, they're fine. What ever mental attacks the Northland may lay upon them, we can't stop, but we can encourage and aid them in various other ways." "A lengthy speech for you Trowa, Quatre must've done a number on you." Brisk grinned as a slight hue appeared on Trowa's checks. "But I understand what you mean, and I thank you. I know Heero will look out for Destiny, and she will try to help him..I just wish they would let us in more on what they're thinking.and feeling." "There's at least one among us that they already do, or soon will let know." Trowa said quietly as he moved away, but Brisk could've sworn his gaze had been on a certain Shadow Elf.
"I'll go in first." Wufei declared as he dismounted his horse. "I'll scout out the as much of the area as I can before nightfall, I'd rather not travel in an unknown forest past twilight." No one objected as the young ranger made his way into the gloom. Quickly, the group set up camp, constantly alert. As evening appeared, the mood had lightened up a tad. Destiny had left Heero in order for Him to discuss things with her sister, Quatre, and Trowa, and sat by Duo. "Duo, could you call the Nature Spirits for me?" she asked. Duo smiled at her hopeful face, but shook his head. "Now's not a good time for that, especially not here. I've never called spirits past the border before." Destiny frowned and looked back at the forest.
A rustling from the forest snapped the group to attention. A figure emerged slowly, as though it was having trouble moving. As it moved closer to the firelight, the group relized they were in for a fight. A lanky body with hand and feet that appeared to large for it to handle stumbled into the light. A misshaped head with a grotesque mouth full of jagged teeth adorned the shoulders. The creature gave a deep throaty laugh as it surveyed it's soon to be victims. "What is that?" Brisk asked as she moved protectively in front of her sister. "You mean what did it used to be." Heero frowned. "This beast wasn't born this way." "Look out!" A clawed hand swooped out, grasping for Heero. Quatre sighed in relief and back away. Stooping down, the makings of a spell rose from his lips. Relizing what he was doing, Trowa moved infront of the cleric to allow him more time. Heero drew his sword from it's sheath and took a defensive position. At all cost he had to at least protect the princesses. The elves needed a ruler and if he didn't survive, Destiny would have to stay alive to stop the advancing sickness of the land, and the northland invasion. Duo narrowed his eyes as he moved to stand beside Heero, his own sword drawn and ready. Again the monstrous hand grabbed for Heero, but Duo was faster. The Shadow Elf flung his sword, cutting deep into the creature's arm. It howled in pain as a deep green ooze dripped from the cut. Quickly the beast turned and charged at Trowa. Slightly unprepared, Trowa nearly dodged the attack. It wasn't until after the sction that Trowa relized his mistake. Quatre was vulnerable to attack while still casting. "Quatre!" Brisk yelled as the clawed hand came swooping down at the cleric. Quatre looked up just in time to be flung into the woods as the monster's claw hit him. Swiftly, Trowa launched at the attacker, his sword cutting into it's side. "Duo," Heero motioned as they readied themselves. Duo grinned and tightned his grip on hilt of his sword. From the side, another figure rushed out the woods. Turning, Duo prepared to be attacked. "Save your energy for the real monster Maxwell." Wufei snorted as he ran past. "Duo, stay here with the princess." Heero tossed over his shoulder as he rushed after Wufei. Angered by the obvious lack of trust in his abilities, duo grimaced as he watched a seemingly hopeless battle. "This is horrible." Brisk whispered. Destiny frowned as she looked at the monster. Quatre had yet to come out of the woods, and the monster was showing no signs of slowing. Relentlessly the attack went on. "He's not slowing..damn." Duo ground his teeth. A sudden breeze began to pick up, and a song floated on the air. "Destiny!" Brisk cried as she brought up her arm to shield her eyes from the increasing wind. Strongly, Destiny sang as much as her lungs would allow. The wind flew faster and faster around the camp.
From the cover of the trees, a shadowy figure watched the display. "So that's our Princess of the Wishsong." The voice said, a hint of mirth flowing with it. Then the gaze turned to another fighter. "And that must be our Child of the Earth. Their powers are amazing, I can only hope the council can do something with them.."
As the wind picked up, Heero felt himself growing lighter. He looked down to see the ground a few feet below him. "Yuy, what's going on?" Wufei shouted above the wind. "It's Destiny, she's using the Wishsong, but it's growing out of her control." Brisk grasped desperately for her sister, but it was to late. Lost in the deep soothing folds of her magic, Destiny sang louder. All sound except the rushing wind disappeared. Hunting the source of the magic, the monster lunged. Unfortunately, Destiny belonged to the magic. Sensing the attackers actions, the magic lashed out to save it's host. The monster flew back into the woods, followed by the surrounding members from Iven Grove.
Trees. Crickets. No wind. No wind! Kaze jumped up off the ground and looked around. She rushed to the edge of the forest and looked out. The camp and all those who had once occupied it were gone. "I had no idea she could do that. I'm just glad I am who I am, otherwise I may have been thrown a lot further..and I may have lost them." Kaze shut her sky blue eyes and tuned herself into the wind. "Good, I can feel two of them nearby. This trip may saved yet." The young elemental sighed as she started on her way.
Chisa: Now, you may be wondering how this starts off the way to 2x1, but believe me, it does! Jair: I hope you plan on telling us what happened there. Chisa: That's what the next chapters for, duh! I'm not gonna leave ya hanging! Walker: Like you have so many times before? Chisa: Funny, ha ha. But despite your rude comments, I can promise the next chapter Will explain just what the crap happened in this chapter, happy? Walker: It'll do. Jair: I guess. Par: I'll hold my comment. Chisa: Never satisfied, but I hope you guys are! I love reviews!!! Please let me know How I'm doin'!!
