Rini woke in the soft folds of her bed, and her thoughts went instantly to a dream from the night-

Rini walked through an aurora-like world, and sat at the edge of a pool. She dipped her bare feet into the lukewarm water, and sat for awhile, thinking of nothing in particular. She looked into the pool and saw her reflection, as well as another that she could not make out yet, "Sweet Princess, I told you that I could see your dreams." Elios was not in a suit; he was in the garment that he had worn when she arrived. His arms encircled her, "Elios, I." He put a finger to his lips, "Shh." She felt herself slide closer to him, "I see your dreams every night, Maiden, they are as beautiful as you." Her heart quickened, "My dreams." She whispered, "I said that I wanted to kiss you and have it be special." She looked up at him, and he kissed her slowly, "You have never been kissed." She blushed, "Have you?" He kissed her again, "No. This is not exactly what I meant when I said special, but this does not count, because the dreaming world lets you experience different emotions than you normally would. So we both remain unkissed. Your mind wakens, farewell my Princess."

Elios did not know why her dream had him in it, as they were not that close. He suddenly wanted to go to her, but knew that if he were caught at this time of night, his mother would kill him.

Elios woke again in the morning, and quickly put on his normal clothes. For two hours, he prayed without disturbance, then his eyes flashed open, "Princess, you interrupt my praying." He usually prayed in this small gazebo surrounded by flowers with morning dew on their petals, "You were in my dream." She said gently, ignoring his words, "I know."

"You do?"

"What did I tell you Princess?"

"Did you put yourself there?"

"No, I have not the power to do such things as actually putting myself in a person's dream, and I cannot control the actions of my dream self."

"I see." She said with faint disappointment, "Don't be upset Princess, just because I kissed you in a dream form, does not mean that it shall not come to pass." Rini nodded, "Yet, anything that happens in my dreams mostly does not happen." Elios would prove her wrong, he let his large golden wings out, and took her in his arms, flying through the opening of the gazebo, up into the sky, "Oh my."

"You have your own wings, use them." Her silver-tipped white wings exploded out of her back, and he took her hands, soaring higher and higher. When he reached his stopping place, he plucked Rini out of the sky, and let his fingers caress her cheek, "Look down." He said, and she gasped, the star that was his home was surrounded in rainbow colors.

She looked at him, not believing what she saw, "Elios." She stopped, and ever so slowly, their lips touched. Rini held fast to him, her heart beating rapidly as her arms circled him. She felt them descend, and Elios landed on a tree branch, "Heed what I say of dreams, for I guard them." He sat then, and she just stood at his feet, not sure of what to do.

Elios caught her wrist, and pulled; she landed on top of him, restrained from danger by his easing her down into his arms. He kissed her, and his wings created a barrier between them and the outside world.
