AND: Here's the next part of Enemies and Allies. Thank you my friends for reviewing. I do want to thank my idea bouncer, T, once more. Because of her, I have been able to figure out where this series will end up. The next story in the series is Loyalty.
Warning: Fluff
An Ending (Dedicated to Thiendrah)
Aikka groaned as he awoke. He made notice of his surroundings. He was lying on a bed, the walls were a cream white, and a heavy antiseptic smell filled the air. He was in a hospital of some kind. He let out a brief sigh and leaned back onto the most uncomfortable bed in the universe. A soft weight at his side caught his attention.
Eva was asleep by his side, her head gently resting on her arms. Long black hair hung about her like a veil. Aikka felt himself blush and a small smile come to his face. Eva stirred and awakened. She lifted her head and smiled at Aikka before her eyes widened in realization that he too was awake. Eva stood up from her chair suddenly and ran out the door. Shouting was heard before a heard of people consisting of Elysian healers, Canaan and Ahn, and Eva once more.
"You missed the scariest thing I have ever seen," Ahn said and grinned. Eva blushed and slapped the back of the Naurasian female's head.
"Shut it, Ahn," she growled and sat down suddenly. She glared at the Naurasian female. The entire room laughed.
"What happened?" Aikka said as the healer finished checking him over. Eva blushed a brighter red. Canaan became very serious all of a sudden.
"The Avatar," he started and was interrupted by Eva muttering Malcolm under her breath, "attacked you. We thought you were dead."
Everyone was quiet for some time. This would be the hard part and they would have to break it gently to him.
"Have you heard of Soul Twins?" Spring asked in a whispered. Aikka nodded. He had heard of them, but they were mostly regarded as rare. To find your soul twin was said to be near impossible.
"Eva went nuts when she thought you were dead," Ahn said quietly.
"What does that have to do with Soul Twins?" he asked.
Eva stood up and turned her back to him. She was looking out the window at the sunset. "Elysians are odd when we loose our Soul Twin. Many of us go insane."
"But what does…?" Aikka said and suddenly stopped. He realized what she meant.
"I became the Silver Wing when I thought you were dead. We later discovered the attack has missed your vitals by mere millimeters, but I thought you were dead, and I killed Malcolm," Eva said and turned to look at him. She looked older to his eyes, even though she was blushing.
He took in a shaky breath. "What does this mean for our people, Canaan?"
"Their Highnesses are not going to like this, but there is little they can do," Canaan said with a shrug. "Ahn and an Elysian healer have confirmed you are Soul Twins. The laws are clear. No one can separate you two without earning the other's ire."
Eva and Aikka looked at each other, their eyes met, and twin smiles appeared on the faces. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad for them. Neither noticed Ahn and Spring share a sneaky glance along with wide smile.
Later that night, Eva and Aikka were alone in the hospital room. The healers still wanted to observe the prince incase anything happened. No one was willing to argue.
"Why did you ask Canaan about what our bond and what it meant for your people?" Eva asked and looked over at her Soul Twin. She was sitting beside the window and staring at the fading full moon.
"My parents had arranged a marriage to a noble girl of my people," he said. Eva growled and he laughed at her reaction.
"Laugh now, but remember, Elysians are more in tune with their animal sides than most of the other races in the universe. We tend to react like animals at times," she said with a smirk.
"What happened to the Crogs?" he asked, wanting to turn her attention away from the previous topic.
She shrugged. "We were able to transport them to their home world using the Eternium gems. That was two days ago."
He nodded and leaned back onto the uncomfortable bed. Eva smiled at him and walked to his side. He looked up at her and smiled as well. She swiftly leaned down and claimed his lips. There was a feeling of completeness between them.
Flash!
"SPRING, AHN, IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME THAT PICTURE YOU'RE DEAD!" rang through the night.
