Thanks for all the reviews!

Prophecy di chiaro e di oscurita – Prophecy of Light and Dark

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 3 – Sadness

Everyone looked at Kira with determination in their eyes, they had to solve this puzzle and bring peace to their land because they felt that it was up to them, everyone else's minds are full of killing and revenge.

"Then we should get going" Cagalli spoke "This place will no longer be safe, Genesis may attack us again" she added knowingly

The other four nodded "But where are we going to start?" Carrin asked

"A certain deserted island, a few thousand kilometers away from Eternal" Lacus answered

"It is where this prophecy di chiaro e di oscurita came from" Kira added

Athrun and Carrin's face showed reluctance

"I wouldn't survive there" Carrin stated, thinking of the pain when she feels the holy light touch her skin.

Athrun frowned; he was not greatly affected by light in the kingdom of Eternal. Unlike the average vampires, he and his sisters weren't affected by the light of holiness. Of course things changed, Athrun was still quite immune to the light unlike Carrin, he believed that his sister had been tricked by her own father to kill and destroy.

How? He had no idea; he just had a strong feeling. Silence soon filled the room, Kira and Cagalli was in deep thought while Lacus looked troubled by the information. Carrin looked weak and left out all of the sudden and Athrun just frowned.

"Would you be that affected? I mean it is already a few thousand meters away from the boundaries" Cagalli asked though she already knew that vampires would die when they are exposed to holy light.

But Cagalli believed that despite the tricks that Athrun's father used on Carrin, she was still pure hearted in a way. She considered other creatures as friends and she didn't kill them. She was a good person despite the glint of cold killing that sometimes appeared in her eyes.

Athrun also believed that Carrin had a good in her; he had helped her regain a pure heart or at least half of it. But Carrin did, she was a really caring sister, but when she comes face to face with violence, she sometimes looses herself.

Carrin raised and brow at Cagalli's question "You prefer to see me dead after our fist mission?" she retorted

"Carrin" Athrun silently warned

Carrin turned to her brother and frowned; now the two Zalas were frowning.

"Then you don't have to come with us" Kira spoke, a slight smile on his face

Carrin's face fell, her frown turning to slight anger "Leave me?" she asked dangerously

Lacus sweetly smiled "Of course not" she told the younger Zala "You would stay somewhere away from the light, Kira only means for your safety" she explained

Kira's smiled grew wider, as Lacus spoke. He was already feeling Carrin's wrath, like his sister, Carrin Zala wasn't like Athrun. Sure she was quite, serious, close but she had a short temper and had no patience.

Carrin saw her childhood friend's relaxation when his fiancé spoke; her frown broke into a grin.

"If something bad happens to me, Kira is damn responsible" she told her companions and nodded, satisfied with her statement of Kira's death if he messed up.

Cagalli suddenly laughed followed by Athrun who softly chuckled and Lacus who started giggling, Carrin's grin grew wider and Kira sweat dropped "I'm so dead" he thought

"Well then let's go!" the young Zala said as the group exited the small cottage and started flying up the same way they came.

They would be flying north to reach the said island, the ends of their cloaks danced with the wind as they flew in the sky.

They flew for hours, the sky changing its melancholic color. Athrun worriedly glanced at her sister, they were still away from Eternal's boundaries but it seems that Carrin was already looking weary.

"Cagalli," Athrun softly called the blonde teen flying beside him, also catching the attention of both Kira and Lacus. "Let's take a short rest," Athrun motioned to Carrin who was oblivious about her surroundings.

Kira nodded in agreement as Athrun steadily took hold of his sister, Cagalli watched them worriedly. She knew Athrun loved her sister and she felt useless just standing beside him, not being able to do anything.

The five landed on a small island, Kira was with Lacus gathering some herbs which she said were found here. And Cagalli kneeled beside Carrin who was peacefully taking a nap.

A frown made it's way to her lips as she thought of their current situation. But her silent musings were interrupted by Athrun's sad voice

"Mother's gone…" he spoke, sadness staining his usual calm voice.

"Athrun…" Cagalli moved to his side, looking at him worriedly

"And Carrin is what's only left to me" his voice was filled with pain, so much pain. "I feel like my world is crumbling… slowly" tears threatened his emerald orbs

Cagalli was filled with overwhelming sadness when she gazed at him, she also lost her mother but she still had a brother and father. Smiling a sad smile, all she could do was hold him, tell him that one day everything would be fine.

"Hush Athrun…" she whispers as she felt his tears dropped on her badge cloak. "We'll be here for you, I'll be here" she stroked his hair as he cried, his tears full of anguish and pain.

Cagalli silently cried with him, holding him closer. No one in this world wanted this pain, no one deserved it especially someone as innocent as Athrun.

If only the world wasn't this cruel… if only things were different
