Chapter Ten: Purple Rain
Feizhi
lay on her bed and stared at the ceiling in her room. She had been receiving
visions every night since Sheba
had been kidnapped. She knew the future, and it wasn't always a good feeling.
Ivan came into the room. Feizhi sat up and ruffled
her wings.
"Morning Fei,
how are you today?" he asked. Feizhi smirked, she finally knew exactly how to push Ivan's
buttons.
"I'm fine," she answered. She then let out a melodramatic sigh.
"Really, is anything bothering
you?"
"I did think that Isaac guy
was kind of hot..." she said. The lavender haired angel tried not to laugh at
the expression that crossed the younger boy's face. 'Knowing everything is
fun,' she thought.
"Why don't we go get those
waffles downstairs?" Feizhi suggested, leaping off
her bed. The two of them walked down the hall in silence.
"Um...Feizhi..."
Ivan began.
"Yes?" Feizhi
said, although she already knew what he was going to ask.
"What did Sheba
do to you, when we were back at the temple?"
Feizhi
winked at him, "I think you already know."
"You can see the future? Consistently?"
The older girl nodded. "And I
believe you want to know if you'll ever see Sheba
again, right?"
"Yes."
Feizhi
stopped and looked out the window, "You will. But you will not feel the same
way about her for much longer."
"Why not?"
Feizhi
grinned, but shook her head. 'He can't know just yet.'
***
Isaac had yet another dream
about Jenna. But this time something was different. His subconscious was trying
to tell him something. But what exactly? Who or what
was this Zagan that appeared in his dreams? Isaac
gazed out his window at Sheba
and Felix out in the courtyard. They were talking about something serious he
judged by the expression on Felix's face. Isaac closed his eyes and tried not
to remember Jenna. He dragged her through that courtyard on the day she had to
leave, kicking and screaming. He missed her terribly. It didn't seem right for
him to do that to her.
"I shouldn't worry about my
feelings, I just have to keep tell myself it was for her own good," he mumbled.
His thoughts were interrupted by a soldier calling for him.
"Admiral Kyle would like to
discuss tactics for an upcoming battle with the Jupiter clan sir," the soldier
stated. Isaac nodded and retreated from the window.

Sheba
sat on a bench in the royal garden. It
had been a while since she had seen flowers and plants growing. The only foliage she encountered were associated with the worship of the Jupiter clan. The small blonde took a deep breath. Finally air that didn't reek of incense, a
place where she didn't feel so confined.
A small smile crossed her lips, she was
enjoying the freedoms she had, even if it came with some rather serious
responsibilities. She heard footsteps on
the stone path. 'Here comes
my most favorite responsibility,' she thought as Felix neared.
"Good evening, Prince Felix," she said calmly. Felix sat next to her.
"Good evening to you also, Lady Sheba," he replied. Sheba laughed a little.
"It's so strange to be called Lady Sheba," she said, "I am no one special. Not compared to you."
Felix raised an eyebrow.
"I don't understand how my life could be more valuable than yours, I mean, I don't see the future."
A mysterious smile crossed Sheba's features.
"Your life is more important than you believe," she told the Venusian prince.
"I have a few questions for you," he began, "The first is—"
"About your family," she said softly, "Your sister...she is in great pain at your betrayal, as is your mother. Mending things will be hard...but they shall be done."
Felix was silent at this.
"Do you mean that?" he asked. Sheba nodded.
"I think there's something you're not telling me," Felix said. The younger girl smirked.
"It's hard to hide things from you Your Highness, but yes, I have neglected to tell you one detail. With much forgiveness, there will be much pain...and some blood will be shed."
Felix sighed, "Not another war."
"I never said there would be another war. If it was that, I'd tell you bluntly," she said, "You have another question. Ask away."
Felix was amazed at how calm
and cool this young girl was in is presence.
He was so used to girls who would swoon and stutter before a prince, but
Sheba
didn't. She just answered his questions
as though she had known him all her life.
Felix himself was beginning to feel at ease with her. But there was one thing he had to know...
"How did
you gain the ability to see the future?" the older boy inquired.
Sheba
bit her lip and shook her head, "That is the one thing I am not quite sure of,
I remember a voice, he gave me the power and told me
to do what I must to warn you all about the coming danger. I was told to look
for Felix of the Venus Clan, you would lead a band of
warriors and bring peace. Then I was cast down to the Jupiter Clan."
Felix's eyes widened in
amazement, "Me? Bring peace?"
Sheba
nodded and Felix was shocked. "But how? How am I going
to do that?" he asked.
Sheba
grinned and put her head on his shoulder, "I'm supposed to help and guide you.
You and I are destined to be together."
Felix watched her sigh and wrap her arms around his waist. He blushed profusely and
managed to stammer, "Y-you mean we're soul mates?" Sheba
beamed and nodded dreamily. 'Great, I
have soul mate that Fate gladly forgot to mention,' Felix mused.
"My entire life, I'd have
visions and dreams of you. However, I think it's much better to see you in
person."
Felix was definitely
overwhelmed with the fact that he had to bring about world peace, but when Sheba
said she would be there to help him, he suddenly felt relaxed, and he wasn't
worried at all. 'If she can make me feel this calm in the face of such
responsibility,' he thought, 'then maybe, just maybe we really are soulmates.' He ran his fingers through her short blonde
hair. She didn't flinch, but she nuzzled closer to him. This only caused Felix
to blush and even darker shade of red.
'This feels...' he mused as she let out another sigh, 'This just feels
right.'
