The Trials of Life-Part 2
In a faraway place in a midsummer's dream, birds could be heard singing their songs of eternal happiness and of love. All the animals of the forest played with each by a simmering cool stream, even the fish seemed to be dancing in the water. And somewhere, lying under a tree, was the image of a young girl with autumn red hair asleep.
Suddenly, she began to stir and Ginny Weasley woke up to the faces of animals looking at her. (A/N: Hey, Kiba! This is what I have dreamed paradise might be, especially the wolf bit!) She froze at first, and then relaxed when she saw that they weren't going to kill her. She sat up carefully, and looked around her, seeing green fields covered with wondrous flowers and scattered sunshine everywhere. It was beautiful.
"Where am I?" Ginny said, particularly to no one.
'You are in what we call the Paradise of Dreams.' Said a creature from behind the tree.
Ginny turned around and saw a full grown tigress, and beside it, a wolf. She looked at each of them, and saw that the wolf had unusual eyes, which were an emerald green color and hair blacker than the new moon. It reminded her of someone, but she couldn't recall who it was.
'Ah, well,' She thought. 'It might come to me sooner or later.'
Ginny snapped out of her reverie and began to speak with the two creatures.
"The Paradise of Dreams? What kind of place is this?" Ginny asked curiously, feeling not the slightest fear of these two large yet magnificent animals.
'The Paradise of Dreams is a place of eternal peace and happiness, and only those who seek it out of a pure and noble heart can come here.' The tigress said. 'Did you not wish to be here?' The tigress said silkily, staring at Ginny suspiciously.
"Yes, I did, but I never imagined that the place I wanted to go to was as beautiful as this." She said breathlessly, and fell onto her back into the comforting grass.
'Many don't. That is why few humans have ever come here, and it is only for a moment or so, because eventually the thought of ruling a place like this comes to mind and they are, if you say, kicked out of Paradise.' The tigress said, as she and the wolf lay down beside her.
"If I may ask, do either of you have names?" Ginny said, thinking now that she could get the wolf to answer, but to her dismay, he still didn't say a word.
'My name is Deletrius Patronus and his name is Tonitru Patronus, or Thunder.'
Ginny noticed that the tigress didn't say her what her name meant in plain English, but brushed it off and decided to ask later.
"Those are both very nice names, but what do they mean?" Ginny asked, hoping she had not insulted the two in asking of such a question. She saw that Thunder was looking at her, as if he could read her mind. She shuddered at the thought, and focused her gaze on the tigress again.
'Our names are that long because it states of who and what we are. We are both the guardians of Paradise and the gateway to it. Those who seek to destroy are pushed away and are never able to ever remember it existed and those who wish to be here can only stay if their heart is always pure. Very soon you will understand both are names and our jobs as the Guardians of Paradise.' The tigress said in a voice as soft as golden honey.
"That sounds very important. I wish I could stay here forever." Ginny said, looking around wistfully.
'You can, if you want to. You can join us in Paradise and live forever in total happiness. But there is one rule: The only you can stay here is if everything you did before you came here was completed and there was nothing from where you came from that you wanted to do or say that was left unfinished that the deepest part of your heart wanted to do and still has not done it. Now, do you remember if there was anything that was not completed in your last life that you still wish to do, even though it might seem hopeless? Mantra said seriously.
"I can't seem to remember anything. The last thing I heard though, was someone calling out my name, and then there was pain, and I got landed here." Ginny said slightly confused.
'Ginny, you must remember.' The wolf said in a deep rumbling voice, henceforth the name Thunder. He pulled himself up to his full stature and Ginny saw that he was almost as large as the tiger. 'If you don't remember, then the thing your heart most desired to do then will never happen and that part of your heart will always remain empty and bare, with the yearning to fill it and complete it for the rest of your life being here,yet you will be unable to do anything about it, and that feeling will never disappear for as long as you live. And the person you wanted to fill it would never have known what you felt for them, and because of it, their life also may never be complete.' Thunder had moved from his down position and pushed a very fearful and confused Ginny onto the tree once more.
"I can't-I don't want-remember!" Ginny said fearfully.
'You must, or else I will have to deal with you in the ways of those who refuse to remember!' Thunder snarled, standing up and pushing his paws on her shoulders in which to keep her from moving much.
"Deletrius! Help me! What have I done to deserve this?!" Ginny said, with a pleading look in her eyes.
'I cannot help you, for this is something that you must find out for yourself. It's not what you did to someone else, but what you did for yourself. You have to remember who it was that you last saw, and only then can you go back to where you came. And when you have finished what you had started, then you may come back whenever you want. But for now, I must go and get ready for your next return. Until we meet again.' The tigress gave Ginny a long stare, and soon disappeared in a bright light and Ginny was left alone again with the wolf.
'Look into my eyes, Ginny, and remember once again everything that happened before you came here.' Thunder said, trying to get Ginny to look into his eyes.
"I can't…I won't! I won't remember, and I don't want to remember. I don't care if there was something I wanted to do or say. He wouldn't care anyways if I died or not!" Ginny said, startled at what she just said. Then tears began to blur her eyes.
'Ginny, wake up. Please.' Whispered a voice in her head.
"I want-don't-you-I" Ginny said, still struggling to get free from the wolf's grasp. The wolf released and exhausted, Ginny let herself fall painfully on the ground. She opened her eyes once more, and found herself gazing deeply into the green eyes of the wolf.
'Ginny, please, wake up. I love you.'
She closed her eyes, and unknowingly whispered, "Harry, I'm coming." And soon all was black again, and Ginny fell into a deep and peaceful sleep once more, clutching a small blue flower in her hand. 'For remembrance.' Said the wolf.
