Elysion squeezed her eyes shut, curled up into a tiny ball and started to cry. It was nearly a month later since it has been revealed that she was Endymion's daughter. It had leaked out to the media and was now plastered everywhere. People, whenever she went out, had mixed reactions to her. Some called her a bastard home breaker, while others seemed glad that the king had some type of human trait, which would obviously be, mistakes; while the others didn't simply care.

Though it might seem like a good thing, Elysion became extremely unhappy. Not only did she rarely go to school, she has withdrawn herself from others. She barely ate and hardly ever slept because of the nightmares she was having. Her normally chocolate brown skin was pale and her usual bright stormy blue eyes were dull and gray.

She felt so lost and very lonely that even the presence of Terran and Helios didn't pull her out of it.

Terran, at the moment was watching her; his face was grim as he turned towards Helios.

"We must do something or she will die." He said to the priest. "No one knows about this. We have to get the King here." He sighed, "He's the only one that can help her."

Palace hallway

Helios ran through the hallways of the crystal palace looking for his lord. Lately, he's been troubled by what was happening to the three women in his life. Usa, Elysion, and Serenity. He could sense the slight tension between Usa and Elysion, and though it would remedy itself. The main problem was, the maiden that once had beautiful dreams, had turned into a woman with dark desires. He could see that Elysion meant something to Serenity, and not a good way.

Then Elysion, herself, seemed to have withdrawn from everyone. Her nightmares had increased and she barely ate or slept anymore. He closed his eyes tightly for a moment, remembering the haunted look on her face. Opening them again, he kept running towards where he sensed Endymion might be. 'I hope he can help.' He thought.

Library

Endymion, at the moment, was with his family, doing his paper work, Serenity, also doing paper work, and Usa was working on her homework. It was one of those few family times that they had. They would get together and work on their own projects, sometimes working together.

Endymion sighed, 'At least this is normal.' No sooner had he thought this, than Helios can through the door, out of breath from running.

All looked up surprised as the priest bowed a little but his golden eyes were full of worry. Something was wrong and he was upset, came to their minds.

"Helios?" Usa looks at him with a slight smile, "What are you doing here?"

He took in a deep breath and stared straight at Endymion, "I need to talk to you in private, your highness."

Serenity frowns, "Anything that can be said to him, can be heard for the rest of us."

Helios's eyes darted from her, to Usa's sad crimson stare, back to the king.

Endymion gave the priest a slight nod. "What seems to be the problem?"

"It is Elysion."

Usa's eyes widen, "What's wrong with it? Are the dreams being stolen too?"

He shook his head, "The land, Elysian, is fine and well, princess, but the girl Elysion is not."

Serenity raised a brow, "How so?" she asked, "We have scarcely seen her for days and she doesn't attend school."

He nods slightly, "There is a…problem." He began, "Elysion has been plagued by nightmares so badly that she hasn't eaten or slept in many days." He watched them with pleading and worried eyes; "she has withdrawn herself from everyone and no longer leaves her room." Looks down, "Even Terran and I cannot help her."

Endymion looked extremely worried at this news. He had thought she was avoiding him or something, but that wasn't the case. 'How could I have just ignored her like that?' he thought angrily, 'I should've saw this. She's not used to a life such as this. The media…the people…and now this?' He stood up.

Serenity, though with a bland face, also felt worry nibbling at her. 'The poor girl….' But, that didn't stop her from being a little happy about this news, which horrified beyond belief. 'If she kills herself…then it will erase it, but…she….' She looks down then up, 'How could I be so happy about her illness. Hoping she would die. What have I become? Am I just like all those evil beings that we've destroyed in the past?'

"You must come and help her!" He nearly pleaded.

Endymion nods again starting to go off to her room when Helios stopped him, "No, she isn't in the palace."

He blinks, confusion written in his stormy blue eyes, "Then where is she?"

"She is in Elysian, your old kingdom."

In Elysian

Terran was next to her, stroking her dull ebony hair, which were loose from her original style of braids. He frowns sadly as the girl stared off at the wall. She had not said anything in a past weeks, all she had done was cry. He leans down and kisses her forehead, praying that Helios would return quickly with the King.

No sooner had he thought that, when the door to the room opened and the fore mentioned men arrived inside the chamber, along with two others…

Terran looks over at them, a grim expression on his face. "What are they doing here?" He rose staring at them. "We only needed the King."

The other two that came with Endymion and Helios went around the bed and scanned her.

Endymion stood back with Helios, talking to him quietly while Terran seethed silently in his mind watching as Ami and Rei tried to figure out what was wrong with the girl.

He was mad, afraid and worried sick about the girl he had basically grown up with in his wolf form. He protected that girl ever since she was five. He couldn't stand it when she was sad or hurt. He felt helpless, as he stood there watching them. He wanted to do something for her….but what?

Ami sighs after giving Elysion a sedative so she would sleep dreamlessly. Rei, also done scanning her aura, turns to Endymion and the others. She looked paler than usual and very tired.

"Her aura is weak and dark." She looks at them, "Her dreams are terrible. I have only glimpsed at it, but I have seen enough to know why she does not sleep."

Ami nods, "At this rate, she will waste away and die where she lays." She looks at them, "She has to sleep and eat at some times, but" Looks down sadly, "I'm almost afraid that it maybe too late. She barely lives."

Endymion looks grim at the news and glances at Terran and Helios. He wasn't sure what he could do for her, but he could try.

He walks towards her bed and sits besides her looking down at her vacate expression.

"I…don't think we …can do anything…" Ami whispers.

"There has to be!" Terran shouts at her, all his pent up anger suddenly surges forward. "YOU CAN'T LET HER DIE, ENDYMION!" His eyes filled with tears, "You…can't…"

Helios looks sadly at the distraught man. "Terran…"

Terran turns away, pacing restlessly around the room, "You can't just, give up on her!" He glares at all of them, "I bet you wouldn't have given up on that Sugar pink princess of yours." He pauses, his normally cheerful spring green eyes were filled with pain and accusation at them, "That's it isn't it?" His voice went deadly calm, "You won't help her…because she is able to take over, even if she wouldn't want to, you see her as a threat. One to be eliminated."

"HEY!" Rei's fiery temper roared up, "we came here to see if there was anything we can do for her!" She yells at him, "We said she COULD be saved, though it was a slim chance. WE did not say we wanted her dead or anything! HOW can you accuse us of such a thing?!"

Again, he glares at them, "Well, that 'Oh so pure-hearted' queen of yours wishes for her death." He snarls at them, "I can see it. She hates Elysion. Everything that she is or will be. She thinks Elysion should have never been born." His eyes narrowed a bit, "What kind of woman is she? Wishing for the death of an innocent girl that had nothing to do with her being born? Tell me that when you have cured Elysion." With that said, he strides off out of the room, his cloak rustling as he swept by them, ignoring their looks of rage and confusion.
