Lookie here-another chapter! I have enough time to create another entry before packing time, so here I go. You see, I'm about to head off on a Christmas trip, and I won't be back at my writing station until the 3rd of January. Unfortunate for me, since I cherish this story so much, but the trip is going to be a lot of fun. I hope all of you enjoy your holidays!
I wuvvy this widdle project so much. I gushed over the second half of 'Heaven', for it was just too CUTE. More cuteness is going to follow the previous chapter-the ending of 'Angel' is going to leave everyone in TEARS! HA HA HA HA HA! I'm merciless...
Theme song for 'Angel's Flight': 'The Sending' of Final Fantasy X OST
Pharae's sovereign was immersed in a world that could be none other than Elysium. His heart was blissfully lost among crystal blue waves, and the heavens reflected the waves flawlessly. Each wave belonged to an immortal, perpetual ocean, and each of them etched themselves into Time's stream with their own elegance. The heavens, which were crystallized sapphires, held their own aura of radiance; they were even more beautiful than brightest of stars, and they were beauteously infinite. Gentle serenity was silently streaming throughout his dreamworld, and it carried his heart further and further into the heavens with each breath.
Roy's soul, which had spent an eternity in uncertainty, was absorbed in a melodious world of visions. His soul mate, Marth of Altea, never failed to send him into that dream world; even the shortest of embraces swept him into Elysium. The Altean's eyes were as deep as Elysium's heavens-they never failed to bring him boundless happiness either. He was able to gaze into every corner of Elysium through Marth's eyes, for the Altean's eyes were portals to perpetuity. Unfortunately, his past trips into Elysium were always ephemeral, and this trip was going to be no different.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, please open your eyes!"
A thunderous wave of reluctance crashed onto Roy's heart, and took the form of vicious anger. The Sovereign of Pharae was known for his short fuse; every Principality, including his father, was equipped with a short fuse. He had no desire to awaken, and so he refused to acknowledge the urgent intrusion...
"Your Eminence! Please wake up! Something's happening!"
Roy's eyes snapped open, and they were immediately lit with the flames of anger. The flames instantly vanished as soon as he saw the facial expression on his intruder's face. It was none other than Soren, his faithful friend...and the young one was unmistakably anxious about something. The sovereign's eyes swiftly became warm oceans of concern, and tender concern fell into his voice.
"Soren, what is it? What's wrong?"
Soren looked as if the biggest festival was about to begin. His soft eyes were radiant with excitement, and he was unable to restrain the happiness flowing through him. He still had the aura of a composed advisor about him, but his serenity was touched by exuberance-he was barely able to keep himself still.
"Look into the heavens, my lord! See for yourself!"
Wolt and Allen heard the urgency of the situation and rushed into the room. Excitement exploded in the once-peaceful haven as soon as they found their friends.
"Wolt and I heard your voice, Soren. What's going on?"
"What's up, my friend?"
Soren truly had the exuberance of a child about him. He evidently wanted to bounce off the walls, but knew he had to keep some of his dignity about him-
"It's a miracle! Look into the skies, my friends! See for yourselves!"
The paladin and archer followed the gaze of their sovereign, and their hearts immediately united under a sky of bright disbelief. Roy's shimmering eyes were filled with childlike confusion, Wolt's eyes were filled with urgency, and Allen bore the eyes of a surprised father. All three of them placed their hearts into the heavens...and formed their own thoughts on the situation at hand. Soren allowed the three of them to flow into silence for a few minutes, and then he released even more of his excitement.
"It's truly the most beautiful of miracles! I never thought I would see this happen!"
The trio faced the excited advisor, each of their faces bearing confusion. Roy's eyes, which were radiant enough to shame the eyes of a puppy, melted into Soren's blissful eyes. The sovereign spoke before either of his friends did, and felt his heart drift back into the heavens. His voice was as delicate as a feather.
"Soren, what exactly is going on? And where's Marth?"
Soren was an archaeologist that had just uncovered an ancient civilization.
"I have the ability to answer both of your questions at once, Your Excellency! The Savior of Altea is about to be born! His wings are about to be bestowed upon him! Don't tell me you aren't aware of the prophecies?"
The shock of Soren's heart struck the hearts of Wolt and Allen. The archer spoke to the young advisor softly, his voice filled with shock.
"You don't mean...the Prophecies of Destiny are about to...Marth's the..."
"Yes! Marth's the Harbinger of Destiny! He's about to take his place as the Eternal Guardian!"
Wolt and Allen pushed questions onto Soren, and the three of them ran with a conversation that seemed to last for an eternity. Their haven was no different from a waiting room, and they were no different from anxious fathers; Soren was the one delivering joyous news, Wolt was unable to believe the newborn miracle, Allen was barely able to contain his excitement, and Roy was lost in silence. The voices of his companions drifted into nothingness...as his soul mate overwhelmed his very heart and soul. He knew of the prophecies, and he knew them well. He had just fallen into a reunion with his lover, and now Marth was about to take the biggest step into the future; everything was happening so fast...
"Your Highness! Come on! We've got to return to the temple!"
His angel was about to embark on a new journey...and he wanted to be at his side.
His heart ached with every memory...as he made his way back to where his journey had began, and where his journey had ended. He and his soul mate were about to unite...and they were going to begin a new journey...together.
The time for fear and ignorance had come to an end; the time for unity was at hand.
Both of their hearts were locked in an eternal, passionate embrace. The love they shared with each other was stronger than the meaning of reality-it couldn't be tied down by the restraints of description. It couldn't be measured in numbers, it couldn't be described in words; it was far too powerful for the common methods of description. Their bond went deeper than eternity, for it was a bond of physical and spiritual devotion.
His heart returned to the dream he had fallen in several hours ago. The warmth of his soul mate's body had melted into his soul...and the kisses they had shared were not only physical but spiritual as well. Strands of his hair had fallen into his soul mate's hair, gentle whispers had fallen into his heart...
Gods, he loved him.
Marth wasn't going to take this journey alone.
He had left the Altean once-he had committed a horrific sin.
He wasn't going to repeat that performance.
-Okay. This is truly the final update until January. I am officially out of time, and will not be presented with another chance to write until January 3rd. I truly enjoy writing about the ardent love Roy and Marth share-it's a lot of fun. Do other RoyxMarth authors feel this way? I wonder. It's always fun to wonder about the ways of other authors. I know I'm pretty passionate about this stuff, but I love to write.
The next entry is going to be 'Angel's Wings'. Marth is going to take on the biggest burden, and his step is going to produce some tear-jerking moments. Hee hee, I'm so diabolical. The end of this chapter was meant to be a cliffy-did it work?
Waah. I feel sad. It's like I'm leaving behind a kitten or something...I told you all I love to write...waaaahhhh...at least a certain friend of mine can catch up now...
For the final time, Merry Christmas to all of you, and a Happy New Year. I wish all of you the best for your holidays, and best wishes for the New Year. All of you mean so much to me, so you'd better take care of yourselves! Bye for now, and thank you!
