Chapter 4: A Little Reunion
Helios had been wandering around for hours, but he had hardly noticed the time. All he could think about was his Rini, his maiden. As the sun was beginning to set over Elysion, he realized he had been out way too long and started walking back home. He continued to envision what his maiden must look now as he approached his palace.
As he entered his palace, he hoped to get some relief from his memories of Rini. But as he walked up to his chambers, everything he saw in his house reminded him of his love. A painting that hung on the wall had a girl with pink hair, just like Rini, and the red roses he had near the windows reminded him of Rini's eyes. Finally, Helios reached his chambers, but even in here there was no relief from Rini. For inside this room, he kept his golden crystal. This golden crystal was also a huge reminder of Rini. It reminded Helios of how she had risked her own life to save his from Queen Nehelenia all those years ago. She was so young, he thought, but yet so brave and determined. That was what he had loved most about Rini. Even though she was young, she had a kind of wild spirit and if her loved ones were in danger, she was there for them. How he missed his little one. Even though he knew Rini was no longer a child, Helios still pictured her as looking like the little girl with those big pigtails and that adorable voice of hers. He laughed to himself, but then he felt sad as he thought about how she could not possibly remember him as well as he remembered her.
Finally, Helios could no longer control his heart. He had to know once and for all if Rini still loved him or not. He was going to go see her right now! So what if she didn't remember him. "I'll make her remember!" he said determinedly. "I can't take this sorrow anymore! I'm going to go see her!"
"Yes, you certainly will," said an evil sounding voice, "but not in the way you're hoping!"
"That voice!" cried out Helios, glancing around the room quickly for the voice, "I know that voice!"
"Oh, you do remember me!" replied the voice, sounding even more sinister. All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew into the chamber, and a black cloud began to form in the room. Helios watched in disbelief as the black cloud cleared away slowly. And before Helios, where the black cloud was, stood the evil Damious.
"What are you doing here?!" demanded Helios very angrily.
"It's nice to see you too, Helios," said Damious, very sarcastically of course.
"You know you're not supposed to be here," continued Helios, trying to sound calm and brave, when in fact, he was terrified of his brother. What might he try to do to him this time?
"Oh, I see you're still mad at me," Damious said in a mocking, sad voice, "what a shame! Any other person would have looked so happy at seeing a member of their family once again!"
"What do you want from me, Damious?" questioned Helios, trying to keep his voice from shaking as he spoke.
"Oh, what makes you think I want something from you?" asked Damious. But the only answer he got for that question was Helios' angry look. Damious smiled, as he looked at his little brother and his pathetic attempts to look defiant. But Damious was not fooled. Unknown to Helios, Damious had the ability to see straight into people's hearts. He could see just how scared Helios was. "I guess you know me too well, little brother," he told Helios, walking a little closer toward him.
"Yes," replied Helios, "I do. So don't try to play innocent with me! You can't fool me any more with your dirty tricks! You want something from me and you want it badly enough to show up here and try to act like the big brother! I know you are not the same brother that I grew up with!"
"Well, I'm insulted!" retorted Damious sarcastically. "But then again, I guess you're half right and half wrong about one thing. I don't want something from you, but I do want someone!"
"What do you mean by that?!" Helios demanded, not really understanding where Damious was going with this.
"Don't play dumb with me!" Damious yelled at Helios. "I'm referring to your so called maiden!"
Helios gasped as he realized that Damious was talking about Rini. "Don't you dare harm her! I won't let you harm her!
"I not going to harm her," replied Damious, a lustful smile appearing on his face, "I wouldn't dream of harming her. You see, little brother, I also desire Rini, but I will be the one to have her instead of you."
Helios could not believe his ears. Damious was also in love with Rini! And he was going to try to make her his! And it seemed very obvious to Helios, by Damious' smile, that he had less than honorable intentions for Rini. "You sick and twisted bastard!" he screamed at Damious. "You better not lay a hand on her or else..."
"Or else what, Helios?" Damious questioned defiantly. "You'll fight me." He started to laugh; a horribly mocking laugh that sent chills down Helios' spine. "Helios, dear little brother, I didn't come here for a fight. I came because I need your help."
"My help?!" Helios said with shock. "What could you possibly need my help with?!"
"Why, you ask?" he replied smiling again, "I need your help in making Rini my wife!"
"You really are truly sick!" Helios yelled. "Why the hell would I ever help you make Rini, the girl I love, your wife?!"
Before he answered, Damious pulled out something from the pocket of his black suit and revealed what he had been concealing all of this time. It was a black crystal and it looked strikingly similar to Helios' golden crystal. Helios stared at the crystal with fear, wondering where Damious could have gotten it. Then Helios remembered his golden crystal and walked very slowly towards it and grabbed it quickly, before Damious could see. Then suddenly, Damious held out the black crystal, aiming it at Helios. As a dark light started to appear from the crystal, Damious finally answered Helios' question by saying, "Because I said so!" With that, the dark light of the black crystal shot out at Helios and covered him in darkness. When the darkness had cleared away, it revealed a shocking site. Helios was now incased in a gigantic dark crystal prison, making him a lifeless statue.
Damious laughed again, a maniacal laugh that would have made anyone there shiver with fear. "The first part of my plan is complete," he said after he stopped laughing, "now for the second part!" Then he looked at his dark crystal and smiled. "I knew this crystal would help me again someday!" Unknown to Damious, Helios was still conscious, even in his suspended state. The power of his golden crystal, which was still clutched in his hand, had saved him from the complete effects of Damious' dark crystal. However, Helios could not move, so he could not activate his crystal and save himself. The golden crystal glowed a little bit, but Damious did not notice. Finally, Damious used his dark crystal to teleport himself and Helios out of Elysion. The dark clouds surrounded them both and then once again as the clouds cleared away, they were both gone.
AN: The reasoned why I didn't use the Japanese names is because Rini is supposed to be older and if I used the Japanese names she would have to be called Usagi and that would cause confusion. Keep reviewing. Dream Sovereign
