Chapter 4 (My titles are SO creative)

"I've never seen that necklace glow like that! What could it mean?" Destyna was nervous.

Suddenly the necklace burst open and a light from within blinded them both. The star on the Color Belt began to sparkle and a rainbow appeared in the light. A voice spoke, seemingly from the light. "The lineage of the Color Belt has met the lineage of Spectran Royalty. You are the chosen one. You rescued the land of Color and Spectra from the forces of Dark, and only you can save the universe from the Dark One, the King of Shadows. You are the true Princess of the Light, it is your destiny. Follow it."

The rainbow that had appeared in the light took the shape of a crown and landed on Rainbow's lap. The locket flung shut, sealing the light inside, but still glowed as it had when she first put it on. Both were silent.

Finally, Rainbow broke the silence. "What is all this about? What destiny? How does the universe need saved? Is it even in trouble?"

"I'm not sure what this is a Prophecy of, but I did sense all along there was something special about you. I felt compelled to bring that locket to you, and I didn't know why, until now." Destyna was trying to take all of this in herself. "Let's go find Trystyn and Krys. I need to discuss this with Trystyn to see what he makes of it, and I'm sure you'll want to talk about this with Krys."

"Ok, sounds like a good idea. Let me drop off this crown in my room first." Rainbow looked down at the beautiful four point crown that lay in her hands. She was nervous and not sure how to go about telling Krys about this.

Krys and Trystyn were almost back to the castle when they spotted Rainbow and Destyna hurriedly approaching them. Rainbow didn't notice, but the closer she got to Krys, the brighter the locket glowed.

Krys took Rainbow's hand when they finally met and the locket immediately flew open again. The light seemed even more brilliant then before. The Color Prism began to sparkle and produced a similar rainbow to the Color Belt. "The Color Prism and the Royal Spectran line have become one. Behold, the Prince of the Light. He has met the Princess of the Light and the two shall become one and follow the same destiny, Ruling and Protecting the universe from the powers of the Dark One. However, before the two may become one there will be three trials. One for the Prince, one for the Princess, and one that will test the strength of both, together. Succeed, and follow your destiny. Fail and the Prism, Belt, and Locket will sleep again, waiting for the next meeting." The rainbow again formed a crown that this time, went to Krys. The locket flew shut and ceased it's glowing.

"Rainbow Brite, you are the Princess of the Light? I had my suspicions, but then too, my own son, Prince of the Light?" Trystyn stood in awe.

"This is what we came to tell you. Although I did not know that Krys would be Prince of the Light, we only just found out about Rainbow." Destyna informed them.

"Father, can I be alone with Rainbow, we need to talk." Rainbow gave Krys an appreciative look, and Trystyn and Destyna nodded as they left for their room.

Rainbow and Krys began to walk. They walked quietly, still hand in hand, until they got to their favorite tree, next to the Rainbow River. They sat under the tree and held each other for awhile as both were silent.

"I love you." It was sudden and it broke the silence. Rainbow could hardly believe that it came out of her mouth. She knew that this is how she felt, but she'd never admitted it before.

Krys was shocked, and happy. She'd never said this before and he was beginning to have doubts. But she said it! "Oh, Rainbow, I love you too!" He kissed her softly, but she felt his excitement and ecstasy despite that.

"You are my soul mate, and I'm sorry that it took something this drastic to make me see that." She kissed him this time, deeply, slowly and with passion.

"Does this mean that you'll be my princess?" Krys teased her.

"Well, I guess I'll have to, but if anybody asks, the necklace made me do it." she teased back.

"Either way I'll have you, so it's fine by me."

They kissed again, but this time let themselves go. It was a kiss that allowed their souls to move freely between the two bodies. He wanted to make love to her, not sex, but the kind of act that can only be shared by soul mates joining their two souls as one. She felt his longing as they kissed, but pulled away, as she wasn't ready for that step yet. Her mind was troubled by something else.

"Krys, what kind of trials do you think the locket spoke of?" Rainbow asked.

"I'm not sure, darling, but I won't let anything happen to you." Krys had pushed this out of his mind, but it was now coming back to him. "It won't be anything we can't handle."

"I just wish I knew. I want to get it over with so we can start our life together."

"Rainbow, I don't want to think about this, but I think the three trials are going to be just the beginning of everything in our destiny. But we'll always be together. Always."

Krys leaned in and began to kiss her again. She felt an intense burning she'd never felt before. She wanted him, but knew this wasn't the right time yet. He gently placed a hand on her chest and deepened his kiss. She felt his tongue in her mouth and caressed it with her own. She placed a hand on his muscular, sculpted stomach. He gently pulled away and looked deep into her eyes, her soul.

"I knew I'd find you guys out here," came the voice of a sleepy Moonglo. "They're looking for you at the Castle."

"Well, I guess we better go end their search." Krys answered, pulling Rainbow to her feet.

"Night guys."

"Goodnight Moonglo." They said and waved as they headed back towards the Castle.

Later that night, Rainbow and Krys sat talking with his parents.

"So, have the two of you started to make wedding plans?" Destyna was very excited for both of them.

"Mom, not yet. We want to get through our trials first before we think about getting married." Krys said, turning red.

"Son, you have a good head on your shoulders and your mom and I want what's best for you. If you think it's best, we can wait a little while longer for this young women to join our family."

"It will be an honor." Rainbow blushed.

"Father, do you know anything of the trials we are to face?"

"Only from what I've heard in legends. They are sudden and unexpected. Your hearts will guide you, listen to them carefully." Trystyn tried to remember more, but couldn't.

The four decided it was time for bed. Krys walked Rainbow to her door. She kissed him passionately as to say 'Don't go!', but both knew that this couldn't happen tonight. There would be time for this later.

Rainbow lay in bed thinking about the trials to come and wishing Krys was beside her, to hold and comfort her. She slowly fell into a restless sleep.

The next morning Krys was sitting on her bed. 'God she's beautiful' is all his mind could think of. He leaned over and gently kissed her. She awoke and smiled at him. There he was, sitting right there before her, her soul mate.

Without warning the locket flew open. Bright light engulfed the room quickly, and then was gone as the locket shut.

Krys found himself surrounded by fog. 'Where am I?' He thought to himself. He heard the voice of the locket say, "Begin trial one." Things went black.
Want More? Sure you do. This next part might take me a bit, just a warning. It'll be out as soon as it pops out of my twisted mind. Until then, I guess you better hope you picked a comfy chair to be on the edge of.
