Heart Of A Soldier
Chapter 2:
For the next few weeks, Serena explored the huge and mysterious mansion she had entered. Releida's servants tended to her every need, she was beginning to feel like a spoiled brat almost. She explored the large area, curious as the cat Luna that followed her close behind. She found several beautiful antique like objects. Coincidentally, she was walking through the hallway, and the maid Catherine and her daughter Molly were waiting for her. "Releida seeks your presence, Miss Serena," Molly stated. "Thanks Molly," Serena replied, "Please, call me Serena, I don't want you to think I'm better than you." "This way, Serena," Catherine smiled. Serena followed Catherine, to a place she had not seen on her adventure through the house.
After climbing a long staircase, Catherine led Serena to a room. At first, Serena expected nothing but one of those beautiful ordinary rooms she had been in already. But what she entered was anything but what she had expected. It wasn't even a room. The door had led her to a mystical meadow, a waterfall, and anything but a typical expectation. She looked past the tall grass and then saw Releida. Releida sat legs crossed, smiling. She gestured Serena to come over, and of coarse, Serena obeyed. She sat Luna down on the picnic blanket Releida was atop, and the feline simply curled up and went to sleep. Serena looked at her surroundings.
"Rela, what is this place," she asked in awe. Releida smiled and answered, "This is another world entirely Serena, a place of sweet serenity. In fact, this is Guinevere Planitia on Venus." "If Earth is being attacked by the um…," Serena began. "Negaverse?" "Yes," Serena answered, "If Earth is in such danger of being destroyed, why don't we move here? It's much better anyway." Releida smiled, and played with a strand of Serena's hair. She looked at Serena and replied, "Well Serena, unfortunately it's not possible to live here. This is another kingdom, it has it's own people. Also if we leave, the Negaverse will just come after us here. We would do something simply to stall time for what would even still happen. It would be pointless Serena."
A moment of awkward silence passed, until Releida smiled once more. "I think, everyone should have a trademark don't you?" "What's a trademark Rela," Serena asked attentively. Releida smiled and pulled Serena in front of her. "Well it can be among many things a ring, a hair bow, earrings, or a hair style. It makes you stand out for who you are, almost a definition of yourself."
"I think we need to find a trademark for you since you are at this new place, don't you?" Serena smiled and nodded, "But what could we use?" Releida paused and appeared to think for a moment. "Ah, I have it! A new hairstyle, just for you," Releida replied, "Now turn around, and I'll see what I can do!" Serena did as she was asked, and waited patiently as Releida played with her hair, as Serena petted her purring feline friend.
After a bit of time passed, Releida handed Serena a mirror. She looked at Releida's final masterpiece, staring in awe. Two golden buns rested on either side of her head, and gold tresses fell out of each to her sides. "Oh Rela I love it, can you teach me how to do it?" "Of coarse Serena," Releida replied gently, "Now I need to be alone awhile, so go play." Serena ran out the portal's door, not realizing she had left Luna lying on the picnic blanket beside Releida.
The feline purred and opened one eye. "She's gone," Releida said to her. Luna stood and stretched her front paws. "Well good, I was tired of laying here waiting for her to leave," Luna yawned out. "Be cautious, she doesn't need to know you aren't like any ordinary cat." "I don't see why we can't just tell her, it be easier," Luna said. "Patience is a virtue could friend," Releida said rubbing Luna's back, "She will know with time." Luna purred and went back to sleep in Releida's lap.
Later that night-
Serena and Releida were at the dinner table, eating spaghetti. "Could you pass the salt Rela," Serena asked. Releida simply lifted her hand, and did a sort of dance with her fingers. Serena looked up, and suddenly her jaw dropped. Before her she could see the salt shaker spinning in midair in rhythm with Releida's gestures. It shook and salt fell on her spaghetti, then gently sat beside her plate. Serena looked up flabbergasted. "How did you…How did…" "I used telepathy," Releida replied, "I can control things with my mind." Serena nodded, "Can you teach me?"
Releida laughed and shook her head, "No Serena, I was born with it. It came to me naturally, as your powers will come to you." Serena sighed, "But when Rela?" "Soon Serena," Releida soothed, "Soon." After dinner the two girls went and sat in the living room and talked for a long time. Soon, Serena realized it was time for her to go to sleep. " I guess I need to go to sleep," Serena sighed, "Goodnight." Releida lifted her hand once more, and before Serena could speak another word, her feet were no longer touching the floor.
Serena cooed as she pretended to fly, until Releida sat her gently on the staircase. She smiled down at her and laughed. "Go to bed, we have a busy day tomorrow. Goodnight," Releida whispered. Serena smiled, "Goodnight Rela!" Serena ran to her bedroom, Releida watching her with a happy glance. Soon, things would get better, Releida knew it.

Nemo by Nightwish
This is me for forever One of the lost ones
The one without a name, Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish, For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart, Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
My flower Withered between
The pages two and three
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path, Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh how I wish, For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart, Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish, For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all, And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore
Nemo sailing home, Nemo letting go
Oh how I wish, For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart, Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish, For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all, And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore, Nemo my name for evermore
