Chapter Eight: Welcoming and The Oracle of Destiny

Mamoru swept Meg into hug that lifted her from the ground. He laughed as tears fell down his face at the sight of her. She smiled, it was tinged with sadness. Hitomi took King Van to the side.
"Van, Meg is draconian, she's the angel!" His eyes widened and looked at Allen who over heard.
"You had better start your good byes, the full moon is in three nights." Hitomi felt her eyes water and Van put his arm around her shoulder. Mamoru and Meg had gone into the palace laving Allan, the King, and Hitomi alone in the courtyard.

"Are you okay? Where were you?" He asked not letting go, as if afraid she'd disappear again.
"I was with King Dilandau, I was a Slayer." Mamoru looked at her strangly.
"Are you a better sword fighter?" Meg smiled, a smile filled with secrets.
"Oh yes, I learned from the best." She wondered how Dilandau was doing.

"Are you sure it has the power to destroy all of Fanalia?" Lord Dilandau paced back and forth in the dark Laboratory. Chesta nodded looking grim. The Slayers didn't know what happened, just that their favorite Slayer was gone. "In three nights I attack." Dilandau turned on his heel and left the room, clutching something beneth his tunic. He would get her back, of he couldn't no one could.

It was the night of the destiny, Meg wore a gown of smoky black velvet. It's low neck line hung off her shoulders and dropped down her arms to trail with her three foot long train. Her hair was set loose and hung about her like a wild plant. They had decided it was best Mamoru didn't know what she'd have to sacrfice. Hitomi wore a wine red gown and fitted like Meg's. Mamoru wore a midnight blue velvet tunic studded with perals. The oracle of Destiny was old and cumbled, almost ruins. The patter on the floor was just discernable. The great opening in the celing was open to the black velvet sky. Meg stood just in the middle with Mamoru on her left and Hitomi on her right. Allen and Van stood against the wall watching. Just when the moon started to come into alignment Dilandau showed. Through the hole he saw them and ran out into the Oracle. He tried to run to her but when he got to the edge of the circle he was blocked.
Meg had slit her hand and the blood had poured down and filled the hair thin line the closed of the pattern and it had built a barrier as strong and real as a wall. All of a sudden her head snapped up and the moon was directly in center. Her voice was powerful and soft.

"And there shall be a Seer, From the cursed Moon, She will rise a war of Destiny, And in her wake will be both destruction and peace, And She shall leave in the light, like an angel, to the heavens, And when seven and sixty years have passed there shall come others, The Children of the Trinity, The Children born of Destiny, They shall come to this world. And not only save two contries, But two worlds, Gaea and the Mystic Moon, The Warrior, The Angel, and the Protector, One must give it's only gift worthy of the heavens, One must give its greatest gifts to save the two worlds, One must choose their Destiny, But Three there must be, One cannot leave this world before the Giving of Salvation, They Must Gather in the Oracle of Destiny, The Eye of God must shine through, The Three shall stand under God's Eye, And the Giving Shall take place."

Wings burst from Meg's back in a swirl of bloody feathers. Hitomi and Mamoru were frozen in place with their eyes closed. Meg drew a dagger and held its sliver blade before her. She plunged it into her heart and Dilandau screamed with pain. He began to cry as he fell to his knees with her. Begging her not to die. She said I love with the love in her eyes before she lay down. Her wings expanded to the fullest. The barrier came down and Dilandau gathered her in his arms sobbing and stroking her hair. Begging for her to open her eyes. But she didn't. Mamoru stood there wide- eyed staring at Dilandau and the body that use to be Meg. Hitomi was in Van's arms crying into the velveteen clothing his chest.
Dilandau Carried Meg in his arms the whole way, sitting astride her horse. She looked like she would open her eyes at any moment, like she was sleeping. But she wasn't, her realized as her lips were tinged with blue that she wouldn't open her eyes. He refused to let anyone do anything. He dug her grave, He put her in a beautiful black gown, the others watched as he covered the grave and crowned it with a huge marble angel, on the tombstone it said "Margueriette Harris, an angel that save this world." He placed a bouquet of blood red roses mixed with white.

"Mamoru I have to tell you something." He looked at her with sad eyes.
"You're not going back...are you? I'd be mad at you if you did go. Dilandau is going with me so don't freat. Meg wouldn't want us to mourn, so could you have the wedding in three months? I want to be there to give you away." Hitomi hugged him and went to bed leaving him alone.

THREE MONTHS LATER

Hitomi wore a beautiful gown, the wedding was beautiful, and the next day Mamoru and Dilandau were ready to leave. Seeing how much Dilandau had loved Meg, who obviously had loved him, Mamoru felt close to this strange man. All his Slayers came to see him off.
Dilandau found Tokyo a strange place but he and Mamoru adapted. Dilandau started his own Martial Arts school and Mamoru wrote a book about Gaea. Mamoru married and moved into his own house, leaving Dilandau alone in the spacious apartment. He looked out the window. It was his second year annaversry of coming to this world, and twenty Earth years since Meg's Death. He sighed as he corrected a boys foot and taught the class.

I'm sorry this is sooooo short but well, I have to save something for the Epilouge!
