Sparkles of the Past
Chapter # 15
Goodbyes
The hot blue energy spilled from her fingertips and sparked in her eyes. She directed it towards the huge face and
watched as it grew brighter and hotter. It's intensity became so great she wanted to tear her eyes away from the sight in
front of her. It took over the air around the being and slowly shrank IT. "NOOO!!" It screeched. Slowly the light shrunk it,
and shrunk it., Until the skull was about the size of Serena's head. "You damned girl! I curse you, and your family, I curse
your world. I will be back! And you will suffer like you have NEVER suffered before!" It swore.
"Been there, done that, and I'll be waiting." she said. She smiled and softly blew it a kiss. Snarling its fury it
dissipated and was gone. The skies lightened and Serena's crystal went back into her body. She was strangely exhausted, yet
not really tired. She floated back down to the balcony and into Darien's awaiting arms.
"You were great." He murmured and kissed her pink lips.
"Serena! Darling, how are you? And what was that beautiful blue light that we saw?" Amouries eyes sparkled as she
pushed Darien away from Serena to give her own hug. "That." Serena said simply. "Was your gift to us, to the future." Amourie
looked puzzled but didn't push her.
"Uhhh, Serena?" Mina raised a slim hand into the air. "Where is Reenie?" she questioned.
"Oh, by the moon! I forgot!" Serena clamped a hand to her head and detransforming ran off to get the child.
"Some things never change." Rae said. Amourie glanced at her.
"What do you mean dear?" Rae grinned, oh, this would be fun!
The next day the group was gathered in the audience chamber. While Yaita said good bye to her mother Caaman and Jarl
tried not to look bored at the female tears. Erling was sitting on the Queens lap talking to Serena.
"Will you come back?" he asked looking oh so innocent with his golden eyes. Serena smiled gently.
"Maybe Erling." His face lit up.
"Great! I want you to have this." He held out a grubby hand to her. she opened her palm and felt the object drop into
it. It was a strange blue circle. "It's a ring that the Queen helped me to make. She says that it's magic and is special to
this world only." He looked at the Queen to see if he had gotten it right. She nodded. He looked mighty pleased with himself.
He leaned up and hugged Serena around the neck, slightly pulling her hair, but she didn't mind. "You are a princess." He said
and kissed her again. "Thank you, "
Serena looked at Erling first and then at the queen. "I am happy that you have found a new home here with the queen.
Erlings mother had died in the storm, wandering around looking for her son, and the boy would probably never get over that
loss. The queen finding out that he was homeless and parentless, his father never showing up, had agreed to take him in as a
step child of sorts. Amourie reached out an arm and hugged Serena close.
"You saved my planet, and my people. Such a strong girl you are. Never change darling, never."
Serena kissed her cheek and then walked over to her group. Setsuna walked over.
"Are you sure Princess?" she asked.
Serena nodded and turned to get the three extra people that she would be taking with them. Camaan and Jarl were tossing
a squealing Reenie in the air between them. Higher, and higher...
"Guys!" she yelled seeing her daughter fly *too* high. "Stop that, it's dangerous!"
Reenie looked over at her mom. Her red eyes clearly pleading with her.
"Awwww moooom.." She whined. Serena threw up her hands. She never could say no to that child very well.
"Its time to say goodbye anyway." she said. Pouting Reenie hugged and kissed the two giants and then walked over to
Yatia. The two of them had become very attached to each other. She kissed her and smiled through her tears.
"See you later Yaita." She then walked back towards her mother and father. Serena raised her hand, crystal in compact.
"I will see you in the future my friends." There was a flash of white light and then there was nothing. The three
beings were sleeping peacefully inside their own crystal compartments.
"Sleep well." Serena felt more then saw the time portal opening behind them all. Their mission was complete, for now.
She watched her scouts say their good-byes to everyone, then she followed hugging Natia and Amourie extra long. When she
finally stepped back she had tears in her eyes.
"I love you." she mouthed and then followed her friends into the portal. It closed behind her
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I know that it was sort of anticlimactic, but I promise to work on that for the next one. There is one more
chapter, more like a final ending and then I will start to post my new story. I hope that all of you wonderful, spectacular,
great, and brilliant people…*whew* (takes breath) … Will review this chapter and tell me what you think of it. I really,
really need those reviews. PLEASE!!
