Alyssa: Another chapter up and I am so happy. This is really nearing the end of Eriol's journey and the question we must ask ourselves is can he save her.
Chapter 10 – Falling for you
Eriol looked up to see darkness. He realized he was falling and he wondered how long he had been out. He looked to the side to see Whisp falling along with him and he saw the look of utter terror on her face and he grew afraid.
"Whisp what's wrong?" he asked.
"We are falling to the place of destruction."
"WHAT!"
"It is a place in a person's soul where everything is destroyed and created."
"But Madison surely wouldn't…"
Whisp didn't reply and Eriol screamed, "MADISON!"
As though hearing her lovers cry, Eriol found himself filled with love and he felt something grow out of his back. He looked to his back and saw bright white, feathered wings. Looking in shock to Whisp he saw she had grown the miracle as well.
Whisp started to fly upwards and he started to think about flying and he started to rise.
This was it, Madison had saved him, meaning he had almost found her; he just needed to reach the top.
The two winged creatures arose from the pit of darkness and landed on hard ground in front of a celestial gate. It was engraved with golden wings and had a large eye at the top. Eriol tried to see inside but all that was behind the gate was a swirling mist. Eriol's wings disappeared but Whisp's did not.
Eriol looked to Whisp for instructions but saw her looking at the gate in the same awe that he had.
Whisp whispered, "What do you think we do?"
"You're the one who actually lives in here."
"Yes, but I have never heard of this."
"Great."
Eriol shook off his sarcasm and approached the gate. The eye seemed to shift down to look at him and he grew unnerved.
"Madison? Please let me in."
Nothing happened.
Eriol waited for a few minutes and was about to speak again when the eye glowed and a voice rang out…
"The gate of truth
You stand before
You know much
But I know more
This be the last test
You will take
Which way you go
Which choice you make
Depends on you
And your heart
Decides her fate
And the start
Could you be
The one she loves
Bells will ring
And fly do doves
But if you are
The pain giver
Back you go
To the river
Choose you now
For time is gone
It flows away
Where light not shone
Will the darkness
Consume all
Or will she be
Saved by your call
Who would you choose
When darkness befalls
Into your soulAnd through the halls"
Whisp watched as Eriol was enveloped in darkness and called out to him. Whisp tried to get in but the darkness wouldn't part.
Soon later Eriol appeared in a daze and the gates parted.
"What happened?"
"Darkness took him and yet he choose the path of good, the light of those. He cares for many and he made choice, to give himself up than let them down."
Eriol shook himself out of it and walked into the mist with a very confused Whisp following.
The mist surrounded them and they had no idea what they were walking into.
Eriol suddenly saw a figure and he ran to it. He saw Madison and called out he name. She turned to him and he didn't see the look of love, compassion, caring, and joy that he normally saw in her eyes. All he saw was evil and he stopped still. It was Marika.
Upon seeing the boy, Marika started to laugh, a laugh that rang out and enveloped everything. Whisp caught up to Eriol and found Marika.
Whisp yelped and hid behind Eriol's legs.
Marika stopped laughing, "Hello again, welcome to my new home. I will get to have some fun now that you are here."
Eriol realized she was worse that the Marika he had met before, strangely she was very different.
She was in perfect control and he understood that the Marika before had been a mix of Marika and the scared tortured little child that didn't understand anything; Madison.
"Where is Madison?"
"Gone."
"I don't believe you, now tell me where she is."
"No I don't think so."
"Tell me!"
"Now let me see, what to do with you? You are kinda cute, perhaps I could turn you to my side and we could be king and queen of the world. Nah that's no fun, I want to destroy the world. You along with it. Actually I want to destroy you first. And I want Madison to watch."
Marika clicked her fingers and Madison appeared on a cross.
"Madison!"
Madison slowly awakened and looked up to him. But it was like she couldn't remember him.
Her memories had started to fade and would soon be gone forever.
Marika smiled and sent an energy blast at Eriol, sending him flying.
Madison shivered and saw the little snow leopard alone and cowering.
Marika wasn't paying any attention to the cub though and Madison gazed into its eyes. She could hear the screams of pain, but didn't pay any attention to them. All there was were the eyes.
Madison saw the cub become light and her eyes opened fully in shock as Whisp went straight into her body.
Madison didn't scream though, the pain was welcoming, a familiar pain, the pain of the truth.
Madison grew angry and broke the bonds that held her. She appeared next to Marika just as she was about to kill Eriol by draining his life force. Madison's hand clenched over Marika's arm, who looked to Madison in shock.
Madison sent Marika sprawling across the ground. She then bent down to check on the unconscious Eriol. He was alive at least.
Madison had to finish off Marika now or it would never end.
Madison closed her eyes, her hair floating upwards from her power and she called upon her cards. She chose the perfect one and sang, "Heal card, heal the spirit of her wounds, so she may find the path to the stars and the moons. Let her fly among the peace and let her be free of binds of pain, start her life all over again."
The Heal card glowed and Marika disappeared in her spot.
Madison smiled and put the card away transporting Eriol out of her mind using the Present and the Undo cards. She sent his mind back into his body.
Madison then watched as the mist cleared up and the normal haven became visible. The waterfall started to flow again, the grass was green and the sun shone down from overhead. Her dream.
Madison left her sanctuary and returned to consciousness.
"RUBY, JULIAN, SPINEL, KERO, WAKE UP, MADISON'S BACK!"
Salaya was jumping for joy and watched as Madison used the heal card to heal Eriol. He regained consciousness just as everyone appeared in the hallway.
They were all speechless though and just stood dumbstruck.
"Hi," said Eriol.
Madison smiled at him and said, "Thank you all for putting up with me, and Eriol I must thank you most of all for coming to rescue me."
Eriol kissed her and then he stood back and asked, "What happened to Whisp."
"Whisp sacrificed herself for me."
Eriol looked sad but Madison pulled out a card, it was the past card.
"Bring back Whisp."
Whisp then appeared.
"Hello."
The little winged snow leopard cub was the exact size of the guardians. So now Madison had two guardians.
Salaya and Whisp looked at each other and smiled. Spinel and Kero came and hugged the two guardian beasts and Julian and Ruby came to the little couple.
"Oh I am so glad you are both okay."
"We were so worried."
Madison and Eriol couldn't get a word in before they were enveloped in hugs.
Madison waited at the doorway and smiled in joy as Sakura came running up the driveway.
"Madison I am so glad your okay," she cried enveloping Madison in a hug.
Eriol smiled as Madison started to cry. He walked up to her and took her in an embrace leaving Sakura felling very awkward, that was until Li came and hugged her.
Li said, "Glad your okay."
Eriol nodded and Madison whispered, "Thank you Li."
Madison finally collapsed from exhaustion and Eriol carried her into the lounge room and layed her on the couch.
Tori asked, "What happened?"
Eriol replied, "I really don't know, I was beaten by Marika and fell unconscious, then I woke up in my body."
"Madison hasn't told you?"
"No, after Madison healed me, and after the welcome by Ruby and Julian Madison went and healed Layla who left saying she had to do some research. Then you all arrived and she is back to being asleep again. I will ask her later when I feel she is ready."
"What was it like being inside her?" asked Meilin.
"It was weird and I really shouldn't repeat what I saw. I could get in serious trouble."
Ruby entered from the kitchen and said, "Madison's mum is coming to pick her up, but she doesn't know anything that has happened so don't let on okay?"
They all nodded and not long after they heard a car pull up and there was a knock on the door.
Eriol went and let Madison's mum in.
"Ruby said Madison just collapsed, have you called a doctor?"
"No she is just a little tired, some rest will do her fine."
One of the bodyguards picked up Madison and carried her out to the car. Eriol handed Madison's mum her back, which unbeknownst to her it contained Salaya and Whisp.
"Thank you," she said shutting the door behind her.
"We should have a party," said Sakura.
"Soon," replied Eriol.
"Well we had better leave," said Sakura.
"Okay, we will all meet when Madison is feeling better."
"Okay…coming Julian?"
"Uh No, I think I will stay here."
"Okay."
Sakura left with Li, Tori, Meilin and Kero.
"Eriol, do you want some tea or something?" asked Ruby.
"No thank you, I think I will just go get some sleep."
Ruby watched as Eriol headed upstairs and Spinel said, "He must really be tired."
Julian said, "Yes but with some rest, he too like Madison, will be okay."
Ruby said, "Yes I guess your right."
"Of course I'm right, now you need you rest too, come up to bed we go."
"Okay, Goodnight Suppi."
"Night."
