DON'T LEAVE ME!! This is my first try at a sad story.
Chapter 3: The Magic Disease
It had been sixty-five years since the the last time I got sick. Life had been good. Peace had been on Lunar for a while and it seemed people were slowly starting to depend on themselves instead of Althena. I still looked young while my friends were aging. Time was definately starting to take it's toll on them. Well, they were in there 90s. Their hair was gray and dull and they were getting wrinkles. But, they still had the brightness of life and adventure in their eyes. I still lived with Luna and Alex, since I had no where to go. We were having dinner, waiting to see if Dyan and Artemis were visiting. They were older as well, a lot older. They also had children of their own who had children of THEIR own. I was not part of their children's lives and I learned that I can't expect them to be my friends like Alex and Luna were. I wasn't their uncle to them anymore. Anyway, while I was eating my fish, there was a knock on the door. Luna looked at the door and suddenly saddened.
"I'll get it! It's probably Dyan or Artemis!" I said.
I opened the door to find Kyle. He was panting and had a very anxious look on his face. He was worried about something.
"Did you run all the way here from Nanza?"
"No, I rode a horse, but I ran from the horse here..."
I looked past him to see that the horse was about 10 feet away. Well, he WAS 97.
"But why? Why did you come?" Alex asked.
"Trouble at Vane..." Luna said calmly yet sadly.
She stood up and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Let's go..."
I looked at her and knew she knew something what going on. She's probably forseen it many years ago. I shrugged it off and turned into my dragon form. I helped them onto my back and flew off to Vane. Hours later, I landed on the roof of the Magic Guild. There was a strange smell in the air, I didn't know if everyone could smell it or not so I kept quiet. As they ran inside to see what was going on, I transformed into my human form (I found a why to transform without losing my clothes. I had to! Clothes were costing a fortune!) and ran after them.
"Poor Mia...my poor Mia!" I heard Nash exclaim.
I tried to walk into the room they were in but I was grabbed by Luna. She looked at me and took me in the other room.
"What's going on Luna?"
"You can't go in there. Matter of fact, put this around your nose and mouth."
She took off her scarf and gently put it around my nose and mouth. I looked at her confused.
"Why? You know what's going on don't you! Tell me!"
"Mia has this disease. It affects everyone and everything with any kind of magical properties. The smell you are smelling is the disease. I don't think you were in Vane long enough to be affected though."
"W-what! What about you and Jessica? And Nash! How come you all aren't affected?" I yelled.
"Jessica does not have magical properties. She just heals people because she's a priestess. I gave up my magic when I decided to be a mortal. Nash...no one said he wasn't affected. He's just not in as bad a shape as Mia."
My eyes filled with tears. I didn't want to come to terms with the fact that Mia and Nash might die. Luna sighed and just watched me.
"You still have some powers! I know you do! Heal them! Heal them, Luna! H-heal them..."
"I can't. I can't change the future. I'm sorry Nall..."
I ran into the room and looked at Mia. She was sweating and breathing heavily. William was sitting in the corner with his face buried in his hands. Nash laying by the bed asleep while Jessica tried her best healing spells. Alex, Ramus, and Kyle were downstairs in the living room.
"N-no..."
I kneeled down and looked at her. She coughed and turned her head toward me. She smiled.
"Nall, hi..."
My tears flowed freely and fell on beside her on the bed. I looked down and cried, not caring who saw me.
"Aw, don't cry sweety," she said weakly, "I'll be happy where I'm going..."
"Where, to the hospital?" I stuttered.
She laughed, making my heart ache.
"No silly. To the Blue Star. Remember what Luna told you?"
"Yeah," I said nodding, "every good person's spirit returns to the Blue Star when they die and they help it become a better place for us to live in later."
"Good boy," she said taking my hand, "you know...I always thought of you as a little brother..."
"Really? I always wanted you to be my girlfriend," I laughed lightly, putting her hand on my cheek, "But being my sister's okay. Just don't go..."
Mia giggled again. I kissed her hand through the scarf Luna had put over my face.
"I want you to have my book of spells," she said weakly, "take care of it. T-tell Nash I say goodbye and...I-I love you all..."
She winced and groaned in pain. My eyes widened as her hand balled up into a fist and then went limp. Nash had woken up and was watching in horror.
"NO! MIA!!" Nash screamed.
He pushed me out of the way, making me fall on the floor. Nash grabbed her hand and shook it. Seeing that she was truely gone, he laid himself over her and cried. I ran out of the room and out of the house. I couldn't stand to see all of this pain any more. When I got to the edge of Vane, I looked up at the sky. A shooting star shot across the sky and disappeared by the Blue Star. I smiled.
"Goodbye Mia..." I said, wiping tears from my eyes.
Several months later, we were back at Vane watching over Nash. Luna was right. The same disease that plagued Mia had claimed Nash. I sat back with Luna's scarf around my nose and mouth again. Everyone stood over Nash as Jessica tried to heal him like she did Mia. I was looking at my feet, trying to fight back tears. Nash coughed.
"Nall...please come here..."
I looked up, walked over to him, and kneeled down so I was at his level.
"Well Nall, I'm about to go see Mia..."
I nodded as a tear trickled down my cheek. He smiled.
"I always pretended like you annoyed me...but your wise cracks were actually rather funny at times," he said, looking at the ceiling, "I want you to take the wand I used to defeat Ghaleon. Now, it's very important to me so take good care of it..."
"You can count on me..." I choked out, "don't forget to tell Mia I said hi. Guess what? The day Mia died, I saw a shooting star go toward the Blue Star. I'm sure that was Mia's spirit. I'll be lookin' for yours, okay?"
Nash smiled and closed his eyes. I knew instantly that he had died. He didn't go out with as much pain as Mia. At least I had that to be glad about. I got up and walked up to the roof. I looked up at the Blue Star and once again, I saw a shooting star fly toward the big blue planet. I sighed as tears clouded my vision.
"Here's Nash's wand," Luna said handing me the golden rod.
I took it and walked away from her while I looked at it. She sighed and looked at the sky then at me.
"Nall..."
Luna walked toward me and hugged me. I suddenly busted out crying into her shoulder. She rubbed my back in a gentle, comforting way.
"It's okay..."
"No it's not!" I cried, "all of my friends are about to go! I just know it!"
I pushed away and balled up my fists with my head down. I tried to push the tears back but it wasn't working no matter how tight I closed my eyes.
"I won't have anywhere to go! No one to rely on!" I screamed, closing my eyes, "no one to be my friends...I'll be all alone! I don't wanna be alone, Luna!!"
She looked at me and put her hand on my shoulder. I turned around and walked away from her. My life was falling apart before my very eyes. I walked out of the Magic Guild and transformed to my dragon form. Flying always took my mind off of things. I stopped by our house and put Nash's wand in my big box that I had Mia's book and all of the pictures we took in. This was my box of things for me to remember my friends by. I stayed awhile but I had to go back to get Alex and Luna. I went back and they were both waiting infront of the Guild along with Kyle and Jessica. After taking Kyle and Jessica home, I went home with Alex and Luna.
"Luna, I'm just going to go to sleep okay?" he said sadly.
He missed Nash and Mia too. I sighed and went to my box of things. Luna watched as I went through my things, talking to myself.
"Nall, I know this hurts you more than it hurts us because you don't want to face lonliness, but just try to remember that we're sad too."
"I miss those adventures we had. I'll never have them again..."
Luna smiled and chuckled. Annoyed, I turned around and looked at her.
"What's so funny?"
"You won't have those adventures but trust me, you will have plenty of adventures after we're gone."
I looked at her confused as she got up and walked out of the room.
"Good night Nall."
I sighed sadly. Mia and Nash's death made me realise that everyone was going to die. It made me realise that I was going to be alone, sooner or later, and there was nothing I could do about it.
Note: Well, whaddaya think about it? Let me know. Did you laugh? Did ya cry? Did you punch the computer out of anger because it was so sad or because it was too sappy. Let me know! Also, tell me if Nall was out of character or not. Oh, and don't be ignorant like one of my reviewers from the last chapter. I guess I have to express that at the end of my chapters now. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all! Have a nice day and God/Allah/Buddha/Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva/no one (hey, I don't know my readers religions!) bless you all.
