The Final Calling, Sweet Serenity
The Final Calling traps her, as she decides to leave the one she's known for the one she loves. Bitter rejection, sweet love. A horrible twist, Sweet Serenity, what have you done?
*
"The destinies are fulfilled
As the spirit spreads upon the ground
Quietly, quietly without a sound
One still lingers;
Walks upon the night
Hoping for an answer
Hoping for a sight
She walks alone
As the memories elude her
Cold are the winds
And wet are the tears they bring
Sweet is the Serenity that broke her heart
Sweet is the Serenity who tore them apart"
~In honor of the broken spirit that is Hara~

Chapter Four, A Final Calling & Bitter Rejection, Sweet Serenity
'So this is hell?' Serenity whispered as she knew who was behind her. She knew who it was the moment the girl laid hands upon her skin. She turned, staring into the crude eyes of Hara.
'How are you here? What have you done Serenity?' said Hara's gentle voice.
Serenity turned away from Hara's eye, lifting a finger to the orb beside her,
'can't you see? I'm dead'
Hara's icy eyes flashed. 'How?'
'Marik killed me, leaving Seto a broken man. I've lost him forever'
'Many things of the afterlife are unknown by those as you' Hara said, as Serenity faced her again.
Serenity turned to her again, 'what do you mean?'
'many are the secrets that the new lifeless souls which enter into these torturous caves and never ending seas' she paused, 'there is a way to come back Serenity, but-'
She could see the flicker of interest in Serenity's eyes.
'but what, Hara? Why haven't you come back?'
'the world of the living is not a place for dead hearts and battered souls, Serenity, we may come back but only to say goodbye to the ones we love. To reunite broken friendships, heal cold hearts. But Serenity, once you complete your destiny, you will become an essence. Never to walk, live, never to see the other souls such as me'
Serenity nodded, looking into the orb. Hara knew that Serenity would chose to come back, just to see her precious 'Seto.' She would leave Hara forever.
~~
Seto walked, holding the limp form of Serenity in his arms, once in awhile glancing down onto her face, thinking that she was still alive and well. In his state of mind-she was taking a well deserved rest. But in reality, she really was sleeping but in this sleep, she would never wake.
The rain poured as he walked into the park. They grew larger and fell more often, soon mangling his hair as his clothes hugged his body tightly. Serenity lay, quietly beside him.
~~
Serenity walked out of the afterworld, as Hara called out her name. If she would complete her destiny, their two worlds would never collide again. A opaque tear formed and fell between her lashes, down her cheek and dropping towards the ground.
She loved Hara, they were best of friends, now both dead. But Serenity wondered why she never came to visit her more often, never to glide upon the landscape or to watch the silver heavens up above them. All those nights she cried about being alone--and Hara watched her from below never coming up above to tell her that someone loved her or even cared. Never to hold her or kiss her goodnight. She wiped another tear as she glided noiselessly above the wet soil. The rain drops never touched her as she made her way towards Seto, nor did the lightening blast-she felt every wave of energy, she was now one with the earth.
Seto stroked her body with a caring hand, as he whispered:
'Sweet Serenity, how you will never know
How our lives collided as I loved you with all my heart
Yet though as you are now gone its been shattered apart'
'The many nights I dreamt of you and you have always been beautiful more in person
As the stars twinkle and birds chirp
I know that your voice will never sing in my ears again
As the afterlife presents itself before you
You will chose it before me'
'Seto' she whispered, knowing that Seto wouldn't hear her, but she persisted, calculating that maybe instead of hearing her, he'd feel her.
'Seto, I love you please listen to me, please' she told him, hovering behind him, then settling herself next to him, one hand on his knee, the other held out, touching his chin and taking it towards herself, so she'd become visible.
'Seto, please'
'Who are you' he asked blankly, staring into her transparent form without a clue
'I am her now Seto'
'Do not lie, she is sleeping, soon she'll awake to find me embracing her-everything if fine, go away'
'Seto, Serenity is dead. I am dead'
'don't say that about sweet Serenity'
'She is sleeping, and if she were to die, her memory would live on forever' he said, blankly staring into her barely visible eyes 'I'd make sure of it, I would'
Serenity looked at him, knowing that she had to do this, or he would remain in this trance forever.
She moved closer to him, holding his chin she he wouldn't look at anything but her.
She slowly moved towards him, and he didn't turn away.
Her pearly lips captured him in a brief kiss as his eyes lost their glassy, deathly coat and fixed themselves upon her.
'Seto, I am dead.' she said, looking at him, as he stared back coldly.
'Ever since I met you, my life has become more darker by the minute. As, there are many things you are unaware of. The nights I spent, hoping to touch you, to feel your warmth inside my heart-those hopes-they quickly vanished from within the chambers of my temple' she said, as a transparent hand covered her heart, 'my father abused me, and I could not bear it. The wall I built between us grew ever larger as I know that I could never suffer, never no, Seto. I couldn't let you touch me, you would feel my pain, and if we ever became more than friends-my heart would break. I'm sorry Seto, but I was a lost mind, a lost soul, endlessly searching for a solution, something other than this, and one night, Marik kidnapped me'
'I knew that you'd fall into his trap, and as I freed myself, I ran between you, as you know. Seto please believe me I am dead'
*
As the figure of Serenity stood before him, he knew that what she was saying was true. Although he could no longer remember what had happened as the insanity that now gone had clouded his mind, he knew she was right.
'Don't leave me please, don't leave me, I love you too much, my heart would break'
'I am gone, your heart is broken but soon as the wind blows west and the sun lowers north, your heart will heal. With the touch of grace and kiss in love, I will turn to leave you, my son'
She swiftly kissed him on the lips as the wind blew.
The winds carried her gently spirit and kind nature to the four corners of the earth, as Seto whispered:
'Sweet Serenity, how I loved you so'
Up above, Hara broken into tears, watching the scene below. For her, her heart would never heal….
