Disclaimer: I don't own Angelic Layer or the characters on the show (I do own the ones I'll make up though)
Misaki stepped into the Summoning Chamber.
The circular room was large and lit only by the candelabras that lined the room. In the center of the room was a circle surrounded by four hooded robed priests. Inside the circle was a circular platform and behind it the stood a man with dark hair and glasses. He was wearing robes much like the priests that surrounded the circle except for the winged broach the clasped his robes together. He smiled encouragingly at Misaki.
"Icchan!" Misaki exclaimed but he put a finger to his lips motioning for her silence.
"Heir-Apparent Misaki" He said gravely. "Please step onto the dais."
Misaki took a deep breath and walked to the platform, stepping up onto it. She turned so the she faced Icchan. He nodded and stepped back taking his place at the edge of the circle. The priests began to chant in a language unknown to her.
She closed her eyes like her mother instructed her to do the previous day and felt herself floating in the darkness again.
So cold, She thought to herself. It's always so cold here.
Something was different though. She could here the chanting of the priests and she understood what they were saying. Never before, when she had watched other Summonings had she ever understood their chanting. She had even asked Icchan what it was, but he had just smiled and said it was a secret.
"Oh, holy spirits, existing in eternal radiance, guide this being to her guardian so that she may be blessed with the light and warmth of the Heavens."
It's a prayer. She thought, a prayer to the heavens. So what am I supposed to do now? She glanced about her in the darkness as the chanting faded to a dull murmur, but could not see anything.
"Misaki."
That Voice! It was the voice from her dream this morning. It was so beautiful, like musical chimes and it was filled with absolute love.
"Misaki, I can feel you here. Call me to you. I can't come unless you call me into you're heart."
"This is my heart?" Misaki asked confused. "Why is it so dark and cold?"
"You are in the place where I am meant to reside. It is cold and empty because you have not opened your heart to me. Call me, Misaki. Call me into your heart so that I may keep it warm forever."
"H-how? How do I call you?"
"Open your heart and believe."
"Open my heart and believe?" Misaki murmured to herself. She pondered for a moment. How? How do I open my heart? Is it like loving someone?
"To open one's heart is to love someone and wish to be loved in return. Do you wish for that with me? To have someone who will always be with you? To fill the empty void that is here in your heart?"
Misaki considered the being's words for a moment and nodded. "Yes. I wish to fill this void. I wish to love you and be loved by you. Come to me so that we may be together for ever!" She opened her arms wide.
There was a flash and the darkness disappeared replaced by a beautiful golden light. Misaki felt arms embrace her as white feathery wings surrounded her. It was so warm. She looked up to see a pair of pink eyes gazing lovingly back at her.
"Hello, Misaki. My name is Hikaru and we are now one."
Misaki stepped back to look at her Angel. She petite, like Misaki, with short pinkish red hair and matching eyes that held warmth and kindness. She was dressed in a flowing white robe that swirled about her feet.
The lovely white wings disappeared into her back and she smiled at Misaki. "Are you ready to go back to your world? I would very much like to see it."
Misaki grinned. "Okay. Let's go. Umm." She paused. "How do I take you with me?" Hikaru took a hold of both her hands. "Imagine the both of us standing together, holding hands like this."
Misaki closed her eyes. Visualizing herself standing on the dais holding Hikaru's hands like they were doing now.
"That's good. We're almost there." The golden glow began to fade and she felt the ground beneath her feet. She could here the once again undecipherable chanting of the priests and most importantly she felt warm hands holding onto her own. She opened her eyes.
Hikaru smiled at her warmly. "That was very well done." She then glanced about the room about her. "So this is your world. Hmm, seems a little dark."
Misaki laughed. "This is just the Summoning Chamber. It's much brighter outside, Hikaru-chan."
