"Cursed Maidens"
Chapter 8: "The Advent"
"I don't accept her. She is not the one to be with you."
There she was, he unable to see her, to see the truth through the words of his father. The girl -she looks like she was around seventeen years old- was unconscious, her eyes shadowed by her locks and with her hand tied up resembling the image of Christians have from Jesus. She was floating in the air while a blue highlighted seal was beneath her preventing her from releasing herself. Dried tears could be seen on her cheeks as the boy with azure hair discussed with his father about her.
§
Her father had imprisoned her in a place that no one was to find. He, an adventure boy liked to know everything in the planet, he one way was to rule along the others.
Leaves surrender under the power of the wind as the boy walked on the giant field covered by vegetation. Holding his breath he ran to the ancient tree that was well-known by the royalty as the tree of life. He sat down there to rest and to catch his quick breath.
Looking up in order not to bore himself, he saw something very particular: a golden cage. Its size was like a bird cage hanging from a branch. Curious he tried to look it but it was too high, so he decided to climb and watch it closely.
He was not supposed to find the cage, not he was supposed to climb onto the antique tree that everybody treasured. If he was found, he would be punished.
Getting close enough he saw a small figure in it. Something like a fairy with long hair wearing a stunning gown. The boy was intrigued, a new light was inside his magenta eyes as he tried to reach the cage, just when his hand was to touch it, it was rejected by a shield, that threw him from the tree.
Falling down he was joined by the golden cage. The "fairy" inside screamed in terror, holding herself as she fell. The boy frowned seeing something bright replacing the figure of the cage and the fairy. Shutting his eyes because of the light, he felt hitting the ground. The pain came right away, as logic, but something he didn't expect happened, there was another weigh on him.
First opening his left eyed, he found something pink and something soft on him. Finally aware, with both eyes opened, he discovered a girl on him, her eyes still shut by the fear. He blinked. The girl finally opened her eyes, showing baby blue colored orbs.
"Aaaahhhh!" she screamed finding the boy with brown haired under her, he immediately shield his ears with his hands. The girl quickly got up and placed a fine space between them.
"Hey you don't have to scream like that."
"Who are you!" the girl demanded as he started to get up.
"I, should be the one asking you fell on me…"
They stood in silence for a while, the girl had her hands together on her chest showing her frighten, meanwhile the boy studied her.
"I-I'm Lacus" she stammered.
"Oh, are you a fairy?"
"No!" she exclaimed hurt by the question, like it was an insult, "I'm Princess Lacus Clyne! There is no thing such as fairies." For normal people that comment would be very weird because a girl from her age, apparently around eight, would believe in fairies… but that is in a normal world.
"Sorry! I was just asking, I'm Kira Hibiki," he introduced himself offering his hand to salute her.
She blinked hearing him, "Hibiki? You are from the royal family too?"
This was how the first met, called it coincidence but sometimes life plays some tricks that we will never understand no matter what we do…
"Cagalli! Cagalli!" a boy was calling with a loud voice a girl with blonde hair that sat near a lake.
She turned to find her beloved brother running towards her. She beamed and got up holding the hem of her yellow dress to receive her sibling.
He hugged her tight and excited. "I have a new friend!" he told her once released from the hug.
"Really? That's great, Kira!"
"Yes, next time I'll introduce you to her."
"Her? You new friend is a girl?"
"Yes! She is really cute and kind, too" he answered his sister beaming happily. Seeing his sister's face he asked, "Are you not happy?"
She quickly answered to fool her brother, "No! Of course I'm happy for you"
"Good!" he said putting his hands on his sides, "I want you in good mood to meat someone."
"Huh? Meet who?" she said clueless.
"A friend." Once finished his sentence, he took her hand and guided her with out hearing her answer, to meet his friend…
He not only took her by force with out hearing what she thought about meeting his friend but made her wait alone in what we would call a living room. The space of the room was very big, wide and tall. In the middle of it there was something on the floor, with a disc form, around it some furniture and cushion on the floor.
Tired of waiting she started to play, more like levitate around the room, watching through the large windows that were almost as tall has the walls, adorned by elegant white curtains, which danced along the wind as it came in.
As she entertained herself she saw outside a petite bird, she smiled raising her hand, which opened the window with a light wave. She called the small bird which feathers had a lilac color and it obeyed.
Slowly it entered, landing on her hands and looked at her with a sweet face. She giggled.
"Hello there, you are so cute!" The blonde called Cagalli greeted the little animal, as she turned while levitating; she was practically laying on the air facing the roof, like five meters away from ground.
She started to pet the little friend on her hand with her index finger when a small person came into the apparently empty room. He heard a chuckle. Looking up he found the source of the sound: a girl floating in the air wearing a golden dress with a golden long tail formed by her locks.
He grinned before doing the same thing to reach her. Quiet and slow, cautiously so she would no notice him. She continued playing with the little creature oblivious of his presence while he was getting nearer by each second and giggle she made.
Suddenly a face appeared next to her left cheek. "Hi," he greeted making her scream of surprise and scaring the bird away. Now he was chuckling as she got far away from him.
"Who are you? What are you doing here!" she commands with a serious face as soon as she realized of his existence in the room.
Finished his amusement he responded her, "I'm Athrun and just I'm visiting… You must be Cagalli."
She remained in silence but her eyes showed that she didn't trust him t all. He again find her reaction amusing, however he didn't show it.
"Cagalli, Athrun where are you!"
Both children looked down to find Kira calling them. Cagalli arrived to her brother's side as fast as she saw him. "Kira, I'm here."
"What were you doing up there, I told you to wait for me" he told his sister as she landed.
"I lost patience" she simply stated, then frowned remembering the new boy she saw, "who is him?" she asked pointing the blue-haired boy still levitating in the same place as she last saw him.
Kira looked at the place his sister pointed. "Huh? Oh, he is Athrun. Hey Athrun, what are you doing there?" he called his friend, Athrun got down next to Kira.
"I see that you already met my dear sister" he said deducing by the look of Cagalli's face.
Athrun chuckled, "Yes indeed, she is very cute too."
The mad face of Cagalli got quickly pink after hearing what the green-eye boy said.
"What are you saying!" she spoke very loud, still flushing a little. Kira just looked at her.
"It's true; you looked very cute when you were playing with the little bird…"
§
"You will marry Lacus as planned," his voice was cold as always.
"But father! I don't want to marry her; I want to be with Cagalli!"
"You must united the Borel with the Noth!"
"But father, Cagalli is too a Princess, the Princess of Zephys and Eunro, if is land what you want, then Cagalli has one more than Lacus, why don't you-"
"It's a shame that you don't understand my son, she must have brain-washed you or something…"
"Of course not father, it's love, I love her!"
"Then must be a love potion…," Patrick Zala laughed at his own joke before speaking again, "and for that she is being punished…"
"WHAT!"
Borel, Noth, Eunro and Zephys are something like North, South, East and Western… in later ch you'll understand better.
