~False Moon Rising~
--Melody Two--

Millions of miles away from the castle, Keyboard reappeared, in front of two traveling wagons. They both come to a stop before the girl. Raiel looks up from his driver seat and smiles, his golden blonde hair reflecting the sunlight. He jumped down from the wagon and hugged Keyboard.

"It's been awhile since we saw you last, Key-chan." He smiles as Bardi and Mifa come out of the wagon. Mifa is now ten years of age and has the beginnings of being a very beautiful woman. She smiles and hugs Keyboard. Keyboard smiled.

"Can't say I expected such a nice crowd at my arrival." She grinned mischievously at Raiel. "And how are you and Bardi doing, Rai?" Raiel stared at her...and then his nose burst out in blood. Keyboard laughed, and then remembered what she had actually come for. She holds out the black orb, which seems to trap the sunlight in it. Raiel cleans his nose and accepts it from her. Keyboard nods. "Queen Flute named her 'Harlequinn'."

Raiel sweatdrops. "Harlequinn?" Bardi smiles happily at the two.

"I like it!" She takes the orb and cradles it in her arms, seeming not to be bothered by the fact that the child within was a Mazoku. Raiel smiled at her as Mifa ran up to Bardi to get a closer look at it.

The orb started to move.

"Raiel!!" Bardi waved her hand for Raiel to come over. "I think it's hatching..."

Raiel came over and looked at the orb, as it started to move. The orb formed slowly into a little baby girl. She had blonde hair. She looked up at Bardi, opening her eyes, clapping happily. "Mama!" Bardi smiled, and petted her hair. Harlequinn looked at Raiel, with strange blue eyes, slitted in the center. Raiel smiled at her and took her from Bardi to hold. "Papa!!" Harlequinn looked at Mifa, and smiled again. "Onee-chan!"

Bardi smiled happily. "She's going to be such a little angel!!"

~Five 'Angelic' years later~

"HARLEQUINN!!! COME BACK HERE!!" Raiel chased after the running blonde child, laughing and sherking. Raiel was covered in mustard from head to foot. It seems there little 'angel' had covered him in mustard while he slept. Harlequinn ran into the tent. Raiel entered it to find Harlequinn stopped in her tracks and looking in the mirror at a horn that had just sprouted out of her head. Raiel sighed, because he knew that would happen someday. He sits down next to the little girl and smiled at her. Harlequinn looked at him, confused.

"I have a thingy on my forehead." She stated, in a cute, clueless, childish manner. "Why's there a thingy on my forehead? What is this thingy on my forehead?"

Raiel smiled at her. "It's a horn."

"A horn?"

"Yeap."

"Oooooohhhhhh...." She blinked. "Why do I have a horn?"

"Well...You do?" Raiel blinked. Even though he knew this was going to happen someday, he STILL had no answer for that question. But Harlequinn at the time was an idiot, so it didn't matter anyways.

"Ok!" She giggled...and then poured a bucket of feathers over Raiel.

"DAAHH!!!" Now looking like a chicken the two continued their game of chase. _____________________________________________________________________
