Fire Bird's Tears
By: DarkFirePanther
Chapter 10: The Queen of Destiny
The fire roared higher into the night's sky. Diamond shielded his face with his arm.
The flames completely took the form of a bird. It opened its wings and flew away.
Raye floated up into the air. Her eyes were dark and cruel. Her hair blew to the sky and lightning surrounded her. Cuts formed on her arms and legs as blood dripped. She screamed and ached in pain and anguish. Her clothes tore as the lightning hit her.
Then, a huge burst of flames flew everywhere. Diamond and Jedeite stood in shock. Diamond looked down at the ground for a minute, but when he looked up, a glowing beauty stood. The flames had stopped and the glowing figure floated to the ground. She looked at Diamond with her cold eyes and glared.
Her voice echoed. "Why must you live? Why must you continuously torture me?"
"Who are you?!" Diamond demanded. "What did I do?!"
"I am the one you look for. I am a soaring spirit. I am your worst fear...I am what has stood before you only minuets ago. I am Lecta." She spoke.
"The chosen one? You mean you're..."
"Raye! What are you doing?!" Jedeite screamed, standing from his spot.
"I am The Queen... or you would call me Raye. But she is no longer here. Raye was merely a form of what I was. She has hidden me for one-thousand years, and I don't intend to go back!"
Raye rose her hand and fire formed in her palm. It swayed in the wind and sparks flew.
"I will take back what you stole from me and have my revenge!!!" She screamed, releasing the flame towards Diamond.
Diamond screamed. He tried to gather energy to block it, but instead, he smiled and disappeared.
He reappeared infront of Raye and drew a sward. Raye was aware of this and grabbed his arm.
"You dare try? Fool! You cannot kill me! I am already dead!" She yelled.
"Why do you want to kill me?! I released you!"
"You did...and for that I thank you. But I still have my promise." She sighed and looked up with a smile. "Tell me...Why did you kill my future?"
Diamond suddenly burst into flames and ashes flew into the air with the wind.
Jedeite stared in fear. He looked over at Sapphire's necklace for a second, then thought. He drew it over to him with his mind energy and grabbed the chain. He began to run, but the he was somewhat drawn back. Raye grabbed him by the neck and felt the cold fear shiver up his spine. She looked down at his hand and reached for the necklace with her glowing hand. She grabbed it and dropped Jedeite.
She placed the necklace around her neck and stopped glowing. She took a full form. Her hair was pulled back into two long braids and wore a beautiful red and black dress that flowed down to her ankles. Her skin glistened in the night and eyes sparkled by the moons reflection. She smiled at him softly.
"The day he gave me this necklace, he purposed to me. We were to marry, but then we were attached." She said, leaning against a tree.
"I heard you say something earlier to Raye. If it was you, what did you say?" Jedeite asked, walking closer.
"It was Latin. Quae tibi nocere possunt, etiam te adiuvare possunt." She said.
"What does it mean?"
"What can harm you, can also help you." She struggled. "She needed my help. I could see what was going to happen to Sapphire, but she rejected me. I could have saved him!"
"So you decide to almost kill her?! You burned Diamond and Sapphire! And you killed Raye!!!" Jedeite's eye's burned with anger. He had to do something.
"I did not kill Raye. I am her. She is just a form that existed until her recent birthday. She only protected me until I grew stronger. We are the same person."
Jedeite felt rage building. He couldn't stand the fact that Raye was merely a puppet.
Then, he heard a distant crying. He looked around him, expecting a little girl that might have wondered off. When he turned back and as he did, a figure in the corner of his eye caught his attention. He turned back and saw a small girl curled up on the ground crying. Her long Raven-Blue hair covered her face and tears. Her Kimono was dirty and wet, probably from the rain. By an estimate, she was probably around the age of seven of eight.
He looked back at Raye.
"She is alone in the world now. You see what her life will be? Because of Diamond and Sapphire.and you, she will no longer exist." She confessed.
"She will exist if you let her come back to us! She did nothing!" Jedeite's eyes burned with tears.
"She is not me. The girl is all I had left in my future. She was the only thing I was looking forward to in this time period. That child is my daughter."
