Trinity of the Heart Part 1
Chapter 6
Note: Everyone, thanks for reviewing so far. I'm very excited about how popular my fics are becoming! Thank you all and please, keep reading.
Mel: Everyone! Come here please!
Hobbs: Hey, what's the matter?
Mel: Mira? Please escort all the townspeople back home and begin a clean up of the town! Please?
Mira: Of course! Elena, Prima, you come too? I'll need your help.
Prima: Alright! I'll help for sure!
Elena: Prima, you're the greatest!
Runis: I'll, I'll help too Elena!
Claire: No, I'll go, you stay with Rue.
Runis: Awwww! No fair! I want to help Elena!
Elena: It's the thought that counts Runis!
Runis: Really? Yay! ^_^
Mel: Thank you Claire. I need to have a word with the others.
Claire: It's no bother. Anything to help Rue's friends.
Mel: Alright, in my Alter everyone!
Rod, Mint, Maya, Rue, Runis, Belle, Duke and Klaus somehow got into Mel's Alter with room to spare. Everyone sat down, except for Rod, who leaned against the wall. Mel sat down in her special seat.
Mel: Alright, first, I'm glad to have Mint and Maya back with us. I know the Goddess of Pain was guarding you. Her name is Osara. She is quite powerful. She's an Aeon technically. That's why I have a bad feeling.
Mint: Why? Cause I'm so strong I got away from her?
Mel: No! Because she is mush stronger then you. She let you get away and I want to know why. That's the first problem.
Mint: Then what's the next problem?
Mel: The next one is that you have Silver magic.
Mint: (shrugs) Yeah, so what about it?
Mel: Only a handful of Aeons ever mastered that magic. They've all been dead for thousands of years.
Mint: And, you're point is? I was locked in Aceila. Maybe one of them was locked in there too?
Mel: No. They would have been reused already.
Mint: Huh?
Maya: Geez! Didn't you ever pay attention to our teachers? Souls are reused.
Mint: Oh…well, you didn't have to snap at me like that!
Mel: Anyway, they all would have been reborn by now. So I wonder who gave you this magic and why? Why give so much power to a bratty Queen?
Mint: HEY!!! (stomps feet) I'm not bratty!
Mel: That's not all. We also have to find out who took your bodies and why. Another thing, why are they taking over the towns so violently? It's very odd.
Mint: Hmm…ok, fine. I see there are a lot of questions. So what's first?
Mel: First, we investigate. Mint. You, Runis, Rue and Duke go to East Heaven and see what you can turn up. Maya, you Belle, Rod and Klaus go to Sivar and see what's happening there. Maya, look different in that dress. A lot different, so you should be able to move freely.
Belle: HEY!! Why'd you split up me and Duke??
Duke: Yes! Milady has a point! We work best together!
Mel: Hmm…alright, fine. Mint, you Rue, Runis and Rod will go to East heaven. Maya, you'll take Belle and Duke.
Klaus: Hey, what about me?
Mel: You stay here. I decided you might be more useful researching with me. We'd just get in their way.
Mint: Hey, I can walk to East Heaven but Sivar is across the ocean. On foot, well, you wouldn't get there.
Mel: Oh, right. I forgot. Rod, drive Maya, Belle and Duke ok?
Rod: Alright…I really wanted to go with Mint though.
Mel: Alright, get ready everyone. You leave in one hour.
Rue and Runis.
Rue: Hmm…let's see. I got some monster coins here…are they any good?
Runis: Hey Rue?
Rue: Yes?
Runis: Mint has magic, you can transform into animals. I've been wondering. What can I do?
Rue: I think you can use special magic. Not sure.
Runis: Oh…Hey Rue?
Rue: Yes?
Runis: Do you really like Mint? I bet you're really happy it's just the three of us!
Rue: …(blush) Get some stuff together…
Runis: Smooth…reallll smooth.
Rue: (sigh) here, take this pack. Put some stuff in it you might need. Like water and food and such.
Runis: Yeah, whatever. You know you like her.
Rue and Runis finished packing and joined Mint in Mel's Alter.
Mint: Hiya guys. I have something for you Runis.
Runis: Huh? For me?
Mint: Yeah, I noticed you don't have a weapon. I have my Dual Haloes and Rue has his Arc Edge. Now you have something too.
Mint reached behind Mel's seat and pulled out a slingshot.
Mint: Here, it's called the Seastar. It's very special. It can transform into different weapons.
Runis: COOL!!!! Thanks Mint!
Mint: Right now, it can only take the form of a short sword and a slingshot. But wait till you use it a few times!
Runis: YAY! Rue, look at this cool weapon Mint gave me! She's so nice! (perfect for you Rue!)
Rue: Thanks Mint. That was nice of you.
Mint: Well, we don't know what to expect. Just in case there's a fight and he's in it, I didn't want him to be defenseless.
Rue: Mint, are you ready?
Mint: Yep! I got tons of water and food so that I won't dry out or something plant like.
Rue: Oh, well, that's a good thing then. I've got some other stuff we might need. How will we get there?
Mint: Hmm…East Heaven kingdom is about a week's walk.
Rue: WHAT?! That's too long!
Mint: But…maybe this Silver magic can do more than soul crap.
Rue: Like what else?
Mint: Maybe it can teleport us to East Heaven.
Rue: Let's ask Mel. Where is she?
Runis: I saw her outside with Maya.
Rue: Alright, let's ask her.
Mint, Rue and Runis walked outside and found Maya giving Rod instructions. Mint tapped Maya on the shoulder. She turned around and smiled.
Maya: Well, guess it will be awhile before I see you again. I hope I get my body before then or else I might rot!
Mint: Yeah…same here…
Belle: Hey, Maya! We're ready to leave.
Maya: Alright, give me a second. Mint, be careful.
Mint: You too Maya.
Maya: See you later Mint.
Mint: Yeah, see ya Maya.
Maya, Belle, Duke and Rod took off for town. Mint turned to Mel.
Mint: Hey Mel?
Mel: Yes Mint?
Mint: First…do I have to wear this dress?!
Rue and Runis: (anime fall over)
Mel: (sweatdrop) Yes Mint, you do. Sorry but it helps you a great deal.
Mint: Fine…second thing. It will take at least a week to get to East Heaven on foot. Can I use some Silver magic to get there quick?
Mel: Hmm…Silver magic only has to do with the soul…but…
Mint: Yes, but what?
Mel: I could give you a spell. Add it to your Gold spells. How about that?
Mint: Perfect! I'm ready!
Mel: Alright, hold out your rings…
Mint grabbed her rings from her belt loop and held them out. Mel held out her hand and a ball of golden light appeared. It floated away from her hand and melted into Mint's rings. Mint twirled around.
Mint: Yay! ^_^ Now I have Teleport magic!
Mel: Ok, are you going?
Mint: Yep!
Mel: Well, I want Rue to have this too.
Mel went back into her Alter and came out with a silver and gold feather.
Mel: Rue, take this.
Rue: What is it?
Mel: Here…Put this feather in your hat…like so. (sticks feather in Rue's hat.)
Rue: But what is it?
Mel: It's a special feather. Just say "Balarom" during a fight ok? It's a very special spell.
Mint: Hey, I want a feather!
Mel: I gave you each one gift. Runis, you got the Seastar right?
Runis: I thought you gave me that Mint?
Mint: Shut up!
Mel: And I gave you Mint, the new spell. And you Rue, this feather. One gift each. Now Mint, hurry and get to East Heaven.
Mint: (clenches fist) You got it! (spins rings in front of her) Teleport! Send Me, Rue and Runis to the gates of East Heaven!
A gold ball of light formed and shot out three beams of light. One hit Rue, melting over him forming a large shell. The other beams had the same effect. The light melted, and with it, melted the trio. Then the light become a single beam again and shot off to East Heaven. Mel shook her head and sighed. Klaus came around from the back.
Klaus: Mel, do you think they'll be alright?
Mel: I doubt it. But I can still hope.
On the way to Sivar in Rod's Pinto (heh heh)…
Belle: ROD! HOW MUCH LONGER TILL WE GET THERE?
Rod: NOT MUCH LONGER! MY BABY IS FAST!
Maya: WHAT'S THIS CALLED AGAIN? MY SISTER CALLED IT THE PINTO!
Rod: DAMMIT! SHE'S STILL CALLING IT THAT? MY BABY'S NAME IS THE PULSAR INFERNO TYOWWWW!
Duke: ROD, WHAT'S WRONG?
Rod:…I bit my tongue…
Duke: WHAT?
Rod: NOTHING!! ALRIGHT, I SEE SIVAR!
Maya: I SEE SMOKE COMING FROM IT! WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
Rod: ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!
At the gates of East Heaven…
The single beam of golden light hit the ground just inside the gates. It spilt into three beams, then three bubbles, then faded away to reveal Mint, Rue and Runis. Mint looked around. The gates were directly in front of them. The guard tower was empty and the numerous houses that lined the stone street seemed abandoned. Mint shivered.
Mint: I've never seen East Heaven so…lifeless. It's not right.
Rue grabbed his sword and held it tightly.
Rue: I have a bad feeling…where is everyone?
Voice: Hm, Mint, you're back so soon?
Mint: Hey! It's the old creepy voice guy!
Voice: Right, how are you Mint?
Mint: Fine, where are you?
Voice: Everywhere. I'm dead remember? I can go where I please.
Mint: Ah, I see.
Voice: Glad to see you used the Flora magic. Who are your friends?
Mint: This one is Rue and his little brother Runis. Rue, Runis, say hi to old creepy voice guy.
Runis: Hello! ^_^
Rue:…hi…
Mint: Ah, Rue, be nice. This guy helped me and Maya out.
Rue: Don't forget what Mel said.
Mint: Huh? (OH! About this guy being an Aeon?) The Aeon thing right?
Voice: Mel? Fancy little Mel?
Mint: …yeah, you know her?
Voice: Know her, I know all the Aeons. I'm one of the older, non-reborn ones. I watched Mel grow up you know. She's such a cute little girl.
Mint: Right…anyway, Mel said you were an Aeon and she wonders why you gave me the Silver magic.
Voice: Does she? Well, I gave it to you cause it did me a squat in Aceila. What was I going to do with it? I felt I should give it to you because you needed it more then I did. I know you wanted to see your friend Rue again-
Mint: Zip it old-timer!
Voice: Huh? Oh, right, your crush on him…
Rue: (Mint has a crush on me??!! It can't be true…that voice has to be lying!)
Mint: (blushing) I-I-I do NOT have a crush on Rue!
Runis: That's too bad! Rue's got the hots for you!
Rue: (blushing) T-that's not t-true!
Mint: (Rue has a crush on me??!! It can't be true…Runis must be lying!)
Voice and Runis: Well, since you deny it so much, it must be true!
Mint: (stomps feet) Shut up both of you! Old creepy voice guy! Back to what you were saying please?!
Voice and Runis: Smooth, reallll smooth.
Mint and Rue: (blush)
Voice: Anyway, I felt you need it more, being the Queen of East Heaven and all. So that's why. Plus, I really want you to stop Elroy and Valen-
Runis, Rue, Mint: ELROY AND VALEN??!!
Voice: Yes. My name is Alak. I am the brother of Osara. I know she's called the Goddess of Pain now but she's still my sister. Besides fighting her, it was the only way you could escape. Valen and Elroy were friends of ours. They changed her…
Mint: I remember Maya saying someone was guarding us…
Alak: Yes, and Osara will defeat you if you fight her. She's too strong right now. Maya knew that Mint. I also know that Rue and Runis are dolls of Valen. (Rue tenses up, right to fight. Runis reaches for his slingshot) Don't worry, I don't care. Your hearts are pure, that's all that matters.
Rue: I met and Aeon who didn't think that inside the Book of the Cosmos.
Alak: Yes, he was always that way. An idiot to the end. I will help you through here and show you where everyone is.
Mint: Why?
Alak: Because, Osara is still my sister. She won't hurt you as long as you are with me.
Mint: I thought you were dead?
Alak: Technically, I'm in Aceila. So you can use Flora magic to help me.
Mint: Fine…uh…why did you make it flowers anyway?
Alak: Because, my sister made that spell. It was her idea. Not mine at all (sigh).
Mint: Fine, let's do this. (pulls out rings) Aceila magic! Give Alak his body!
Silver filled everyone's vision for a moment. Mint saw a shape of a man form, then disappear. Soon, the light came together and formed Alak's body. Mint smiled at him. He had short, black hair and bright blue eyes. He was taller then Rue, maybe a year or two older and was wearing a long, sweeping rod\be made of black roses. He smiled and walked forward.
Alak: Hello Mint. (extends hand)
Mint: (shakes his hand) Heya Alak.
Alak: Hello Rue, Runis.
Rue, Runis: Hello.
Alak: Ahh…it feels great to be back.
Mint: I hope you don't want your magic back!
Alak: No, it's ok. I'm fine, I have more magic then you'll ever have. Silver isn't much of a loss.
Mint: Oh…
Alak: Anyway, are you ready to see what Valen and Elroy have done to this fair kingdom?
Mint: Sorta…I'm still confused…
Rue: Me too, Mint and I defeated Valen and Elroy was dead long before that!
Alak: Aeons are…harder to kill then you might think…all will be explained when you see the town square…
Alak lead the group down the path until it opened up into the square. Rue gasped and Mint covered her mouth.
Mint: Oh my God…
Where the town square once was was a black hole. Coming out of it was a group of creatures, all once human, now half human demons. They turned and saw the group. Alak began summoning a spell.
Alak: Prepare yourselves…
Author's Note: Osara and Alak will become very important characters later on. Next chapter, "Osara's Angels" Better get ready! (another show I watch too much…)
