Rowen and Alecie looked at the carving on the far side of the wall. What looked like a different language was written on the square panel.

"Can you read that?" Rowen asked. Alecie bent forward as she looked at the writing.

"It's an old form of cloudrunner language. We used it when we were slaves on the earth. That language has been dead for a long time, but I think I can still read it."  She bent closer as she began to read aloud.

"For when the star's light is needed most, find the two who can open the door. One who is one with the sky but lover of the earth, and the other who is prince of wings, but walker of land."

"Where are we going to find those two?" Rowen asked as Alecie stood up. She stared at the panel lost in thought, before she turned to face Rowen.

"I've already found them." She said quietly.

"Well, then lets hurry and go get them." He said as he started to head out back the way they had come in.

"Lecie?" he asked calling her name when she realized that she wasn't following him.

"They are right here." She said slowly lifting her eyes to look at him. It was finally time to tell him about his wings. Rowen looked at her curiously as he walked back to her.

"What? I don't understand." He said.

"We are the two to open the door." She said looking at him.

"But how? I mean we need a prince of the sky and…" Rowen began as Alecie but him off.

"You are." She said quietly. Rowen was speechless as Alecie stepped closer to him.

"I have something to admit to you." She said softly "When you asked me about your wings, I lied. Your wings have the golden outline, that symbolizes royalty. You have the wings of royalty."

Rowen stared at her, stunned. "But…I can't be royalty. I mean your wings have a silver lining, and nowhere in my lineage have I had royalty." Alecie shook her head.

"It doesn't matter." She said. "And my wings have the silver outline because I'm a girl. You are the person in the legend. A prince of the sky, but a walker of land."

"And what about the other person?" Rowen said slowly.

"That's me." She said. ""I am a cloudrunner, therefore I am one with the sky."

"And what about the other part? Lover of the earth?"

"I'm a lover of the earth because that is where you are." She said as Rowen's eyes widened in shock and hope at what she was implying.

"The picture that I didn't want you to see. The person who was standing next to me, the man I'm supposed to marry is you. I love you, Rowen." She said Rowen reached out and pulled her close.

"I love you too, Lecie." He whispered as he tilted her chin up and kissed her. Alecie kissed him back as she put her arms around his neck. She didn't care that he wasn't a cloudrunner, or that her father probably wouldn't approve, she loved him and that was all that mattered. Rowen broke the kiss as they turned to face the panel. They looked at each other and both put a palm on the panel and pushed. A silver and golden light erupted around the edges as the ceiling shook. The ceiling slowly rolled back to reveal a pedal floating near the ceiling. The two flew up and gasped as they found the star.

"It's not a star." Rowen said. "It's a diamond shaped like a star." He said as he reached out and grabbed it. The two stared at the treasure, lost in its beauty when they looked at each other again.

"Come on, let's go and help Sakura." Alecie said as they flew back down to the ground and out the room.
