Im so sorry to anyone who still wants to read this, so much has happened in my life..im so sorry..and I tried to make this the best ending ever…I hope your not disappointed.

There were so many stairs! Who would build a place like this he wondered as he followed the sound of the bell around the cats neck. Out of breath by now, having ran non stop to this strange palace and now it was dark out. He could still hear the screams and cries of small voices in his mind, calling a name he didn't recognize, two actually, Helios, and Pegasus, no he didn't know them.

"Stop it!" he screamed aloud as he stopped at the top of the stairs in exhaustion.

The bell stopped and he glanced up when it started again and he saw the cat come towards him, meowing softly and calling him to follow her.

"Why? What purpose is it for? I forgotten why I'm following you, I've forgotten how I've gotten here, everything seems to be collapsing in my mind and I don't know why. I feel tired, and yet i know if I fall asleep I will never wake up again. What is my name! who am i? this skin, this form, I don't know it, its not my own I know of it, I wish to tear it off, but I'm afraid there will be nothing left within me of what I was.." he was speaking crazily to himself, but Dianna listened intently.

"I don't know how to help you..but we must hurry please, you are the only one awake who can help the princess please!" She cried out to him in despair, she had found someone, but he didn't seem to want to help at all.

He watched her softly in his gaze, listening to her he nodded.

"Alright, I will help…" he sighed and stood, it was a fast change in mind, he was deeply troubled and now walked behind his feline guild down a hallway, but he slowed as he noticed they were following a trail of blood, raising a brow he then noticed it led into a room, the door half open. Reaching out with his fingertips, he pushed it open slowly and raised a brow to what he saw.

"There you are…" Peraru said weakly as he turned to Helios, knowing it was him even in that form.

"Who are you?" Helios asked as he saw the beaten and mangled boy, with bleeding protrusions on his back that looked like they might have been wings. He saw the pain in his eyes, those eyes seemed so familiar and yet he couldn't place then. Then he glanced to the bed and saw her, gasping as he ran forwards and looked over the seeping princess, lying in blood covered sheets.

"It's her! The one haunting my thoughts…what..but..what did you do to her!" Helios turned to the stranger with familiar eyes and glared, angered by this sight, thinking the beaten boy had tried to kill her, or worse actually did.

"Yes, this is Rini…She's not dead, I did nothing to her, she did this to save someone she loved, she went into a land that was filled with darkness and followed his light which now seems to have brought the end of hers..i can wake her, I can make it all go away, but I heard you scream down the hall, and I realized it wasn't my place...the one who loves her the most must, he must realize his love…and sacrifice it for her." The beaten boy seemed exhausted, about to pass out, and Helios watched the sleeping girl.

"Are you saying I am this person? How can that be? I don't know her, she haunts my thoughts and I feel as if I should know her, but..how?" he paused as peraru watched him with pained eyes.

"she will die a little under 5 minutes, you have forgotten your memories of her, that is the deal when you crossover to this world. You forget what you came here for, as the ruler before had done, you have only a limited time to complete your forgotten task..and if you fail, you perish, you forget who you were, and unless you appoint someone else, the world beyond this that shelters the sleeping souls, will collapse. Those within it will become as empty as you will become. All you have to do is kiss her, ensuring your love for her, and she will awaken, if it is not a true loves kiss, she will die as well." He spoke calmly, how he knew this was a mystery to many, but he knew the past rulers almost fatal situation, ho wit ended.

"What is your name?" Peraru asked calmly now, seeing Helios was calmed and trying to think this through. "Think with your heart, not with your mind, it is clouded while your heart still beats strongly.

"My name…" he shook his head, it was there in his mind but he couldn't grasp it. The he remembered her calling to him a name, a name that was precious to her.

I love you

"Helios" he said calmly and stared at the sleeping girl confused.

4 minutes

"Who are you?" Peraru asked, now more forceful, he didn't have time, he needed him to remember.

"I am her love…she loves me, and I keep her safe.." Helios whispered under his breath, he felt this was true.

Peraru smiled softly, he was remembering.

"Do you love her?" He asked one final question, and Helios crept closer to her bedside.

"More then anything, more then the dream world, more then anyone else, I love her and always will.." leaning forwards now , Helios placed his lips over hers and Peraru winced as he watched.

It hurt him to see them kiss, it hurt him to know..that she would wake up, love him and…

Helios backed away slowly, watching her a moment, seeming in a daze, and then her eyes fluttered softly. Not awakening yet. She stirred in her sleep, her dream self disappearing from the world of dreams and finally, her eyes opened. Gasping as she sat up and cried out in pain, the cut was still there, it would take a long while to heal, but she turned quickly and saw him. Helios, he no longer had the form he had taken when he arrived here. He was to her, the same he had always been, only seemingly to be missing something.

"Helios…" she whispered and smiled through her pain, reaching out and wrapping her arms around him. He stood there a moment, and let her hug him, his mind was not clouded anymore, it was a clear as ever.

Peraru stood and bit his lower lip. Waiting for the inevitable.

Rini glanced up confused his arms were not around her..he just watched her with a confused glance.

"I know you, and yet…I can't remember any of my thoughts of you up till now"

Rini raised a brow as he said this, she noticed peraru now, her arms slipping off from around Helios's neck and turning to peraru.

"What's happened..ow..the pain!" she clutched the area over the hole in her chest, so close to her heart.

"Rest, Rini.." Peraru whispered, slouching a little more as tears formed his eyes.

"He sacrificed his love for you, to save you from a death you did not deserve. I'm sorry but he does not remember..loving you"

Tears formed in her eyes, and Helios just stared at the two a long while, trying to take this all in.

"How much more..can this life throw at us..look at you! You look as though you're on your last breath! I forgot my love, and now he has forgotten me" She wept softly, but fell back down upon the bed, the pain too much for her, her heart felt as though it was still being carved out, even though the wound had stopped growing.

"I must return to the world of dreams, people need me.. Peraru, I suggest you come with me, you will heal faster there..there is much work to be done."

He saw the pain on the princesses face, and bowed to her softly.

"I am sorry for your loss..i wish I knew what to say, but I cannot stand idly by while so many lives are at risk..farewell.."

And with that, Helios turned, picking up peraru, who cried out in pain. Peraru watched Rini as she stared at them with a hurt, numb glance. He waved to her, whispering that he would return, before passing out.

It had two days and Rini had denied herself sleep, everyone had woke up now, wounds were mended, life went on, and the princess was right back where she started. Miserable.

Her mother and father tried to cheer her up, as well as some of her friends, but all she did was lay there, staring at the window.

The fact that everyone had woken up was good to hear, because that meant that the dream world was safe again. To dream..she wanted nothing of it, weeping once more as soon as anyone left her room, about the love she had lost, all because eit was to save her life. It didn't save her life, it ruined it. What was a life without her love? She didn't know the answer to this..

After 5 days, she finally couldtn resist any longer. Fatigue took her over and she was transported to that magical place of dreams. She stood in the middle of an empty field, with flowers surrounding her, and her sun dress flowing lightly in the breeze.

"helios.." she whispered softly, her hair wa down, no longer in its pigtails and blowing ever so gently in the sweetly scented breeze. Why had she come here? She never had this dream before..she felt like she was waiting for something but what?

"helios.." she whispered again, this time starting to cry.

"Don't cry.."

She turned suddenly, but saw no one, that voice..could it be? No, there was no one there, this dream was a nightmare, even though it was so beautiful.

"How can I not? I don't wish to be here, anywhere but here..to many memories, even though I never had this dream before, this place..it hurts so much.." her tears formed once more, looking down at the ground, the flowers tickling her ankles, dancing in the wid, calling to her almost, as if to get her dancing with them too.

A hand gently touched her face and she gaspe,d looking up quickly to se ehim standing there. Helios smiled softly and watched her a moment.

"You are indeed beautiful, tears should never grace your face, unless it is for joy."

She searched his gaze, for any sign of the Helios she had known, had loved…she could not find it.

"you still do not love me." She whispered softly to him, turning gaway, but he held her hands and brought them up to his lips.

"I loved you before correct?"

She nodded softly.

"And I love you still.." she whispered to him, sneaking a glance towards him but turning away, it hurt too much.

"I have brought you here, because this image was what helped me find you, when I didn't even know who you were..I waited for you, bu you didn't come, and im glad because ei was able to think..about you. Since the first time I saw you..well..saw you again with my memories, but not my emotions, something new started to form, and I realize, that evern though, I do not know our old love..i cant get you out of my mind."

She raised a brow as she looked at him.

"all the memories are still in my mind, all the things we did together. I look back, ive been reliving them here, in thi world of dreams..for that's all mymemories really are..dreams..By reliving these memories, by seeing you here again now..Little lady..my precious Rini, I still love you, but with a new, fresh love.."

She watched him, watched his eyes as he spoke. This was true, she saw it, it was not the love she ha dknown, but it was something new.

"Helios..if this is just a dream.."

He chuckled softly and raised a brow.

"Princess, this is a dream, this all, is a dream, but I can tell you now, if you are willing, I am as well to allow this love to continue to grow.."

She smiled softly and wrapped her arms around him, nodding quickly a sshe cried into his shoulder.

"Oh, Helios!" She whispered, this was a yes.

He smiled and embraced her in his arms, and together they helped form a new love, stronger then before.

For while the mind may loose itself in the mists of time and fate, the heart never forgets the beat of a love that is strong and true. Forever in its memory.
