Love Meant For Heavens Light
By: Pretty-grl
Chapter 2---------------------------------------------------------
So many times out
there
I've watched a happy pair
of lovers walking in
the night
they had a kind of glow around them
it
almost looked liked heaven's light
---------------------------------------------------------
13 Years Later
"Endymion! Get your lazy self over to the council hall.... Aries is not a patient man and you know that....!"
"Of course Eva...since you never fail to remind me." Said Endymion in annoyance
"If you would grow up and learn responsibility maybe I wouldn't have too" she sigh's "My dear boy, your behavior makes me want to think you are still seven..."
"I have heard enough Eva! ...Don't you have...servant duties or something of the sort..." said Endymion rudely as he roughly pushed past her.
Thirteen years was a very long time to spend in one place. Endymion was growing tired of it. He Longley waited the day Aries would hand over the position of caption of the guard to him. Since he could remember he had been trained by the best there was, despite Aries's sharp edges and disposition, he did care for Endymion. Sometimes maybe more than he did for his very own son, Diamond.
Diamond could not stand Endymion, and the feelings were very much mutual. It was always as if diamond felt threatened by him, especially when they were younger. Of course they would challenge one another, and that alone stood a momentary truce between them.
"You took long enough!" said Aries who stood still by the window
Endymion glared at his back
"And if your smart you will change that look and listen to what I have to say..."
Endymion never questioned how Aries could tell those kind of things right out of the blue, It was like Aries had a six sense. Endymion stood straight with his head up and a solemn expression, intently listening.
"What would that be?"
Aries turned around and stared Endymion down; so much that Endymion could simply feel the intensity of it. Over the years it ceased to bother him, Aries had taught him so many things...one of them was to never show your enemy your weakness.
"As you are aware, I plan to retire soon. With that I seek someone to replace me, someone reflecting my strong qualities and more."
Aries stopped in front of Endymion
"Do you think you are ready for that duty?"
"...I believe I am more then ready Aries"
"Do you now? Just look at yourself...if I did not know you well I would have never guessed you used to be a sniveling little brat"
With a firm grin Endymion replied "you always have given and interesting and different definition to tough love..."
"It was the way my father raised me and it is how I have brought you and diamond up..."
"Speaking of him...I am slightly curious as to why you don't pass this position to your biological son...not that I am complaining."
Aries gave him an odd look then he looked off into the distance as if in deep thought.
"Yes...Diamond is a compatible candidate for such a position but only in so many different ways...why not just be grateful Endymion, because such an honor as this can be easily taken away as soon as it is given...do we understand each other?"
Endymion replied back in a firm tone "yes sir..."
Aries grinned with satisfaction and unsheathed his sword handing it to Endymion to take, which he did gratefully before taking his leave out of the room. With his exit he failed to notice a door that stood ajar with an angry diamond behind it. He had heard everything that occurred between Endymion and his father and was the least bit happy.
"Father! How could you...give that...that orphan a position I have trained for years to earn! " Said diamond standing next to Aries with fist quenched in anger and hatred for Endymion
Aries did not flinch; his eyes were closed as he laughed with amusement.
"Diamond...your temper will not win you my favor..."
"Then what will? I am your only true son and you hardly give a damn for that!"
".... And an ungrateful little heathen you have always been...will you not shut your mouth for one minute?"
Diamond stood in silent rage but listened.
"I am giving Endymion a final test," said Aries while walking out into the castle balcony, with diamond following him.
"A test?"
"Yes diamond...you see, when I trained Endymion at a young age as he grew his strength and determination all thrived on one thing"
Diamond raised an elegant eyebrow in confusion
"And that would be?"
Aries smiled sinfully back.
"Why the hatred for his unloving gypsy filth parents of course..."
Diamond blinked, Aries let out an amused laugh.
"I can see your confusion my boy, let me explain...Endymion was a foolish child without a home 13 years ago, so I simply twisted his mind since he was open to anything I said being the one that took him in...I knew he was a gypsy child but being a man of my knowledge I had a gut feeling that someday he would be of use to me...and I think that giving him this position will prove it, through him I shall rid this city of the trash and dirt in our streets. Those witches and imposters will be burned at the stake and sent to hell where they came from."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Endymion strolled through town proud thought running in his head as he rode his white horse his chest out and head up with a new sort of pride.
'After all this time, I can finally get my revenge on those filthy thieves that raised me along with all there kind'
"STOP! HALT YOU LITTLE THEIVING WITCH"
Endymions thoughts were immediately drawn away as he saw a blur of blonde try to stray away from his fellow soldiers; he smirked with utter amusement while thinking to himself.
'duty calls'
Thought endymion. With quick pace he immediately jumped from his horse into the girls path grabbing her roughly and ceasing her escape.
"You gypsys thinking you're oh so quick and-"
Endymion stopped in mid sentence as his breath stopped in his throat while he gazed upon this young girls face. To put it bluntly she was angelic and breathtaking, unlike any gypsy girl he had seen. She had beautiful sky blue eyes that seemed endless and her hair was a golden color with amazing length to it. It flowed straight down her back, down to her tiny waist. His traveled her body and was very pleased at what he saw.
"-So ... gorgeous...your name?"
She stood with a silent glare as she continued to struggle with his iron grip around her waist
"To hell with you bastard!"
"Silence you little brat, you will show the proper respect for the new caption, her name is serenity sir..."
