Author's Note: Sorry this took SO long, I have a reason: it's because FanFiction was having a problem uploading stuff. Also my paragraphing in the past chapter was weird because of a glitch in the site. I wasn't the only author having a problem ;)

Anyway, special thanks to those, who have waited this patiently: Ze Ultimate Fanfic Writer, musafa, NotSupposedToBeHere, EquestrianPunk1992, Supernova45690, brezzybrez, J.J. Taylor.

Rock on, guys!

Chapter 17: Lucy and the Gold Chains

It was around midnight when Lucy walked down the hall of chambers. Though Tumnus had left about an hour ago, Lucy needed time to ponder over his words. She was still thinking when she came to Giovane's chambers. Lucy breathed in. She dreaded what would greet her eyes. She was not sure whether she should be scared, or worried, or angry. Otherwise she was here, and there was no turning beck. If Peter would not listen, so be it.

Lucy slowly creaked open the door and poked her head inside. She looked around the dark room. Faint moonlight poured through the windows of the chamber. Lucy shivered. Being young she was very sensitive to essences. She felt cold in these chambers. The last time she came here it was warm and happy. Lucy held her breath and walked over to Giovane's bed. She gasped. On the bed was a black lump and pale sweating face. The face was heaving and gasping. Her eyes were shut tight. Lucy wanted to scream but her mouth was tightened in one line, Be valiant! Lucy thought desperately. She slowly took out the box from inside her night robe and lifted the lid. There it was. The emerald streaked necklace assigned to Giovane. Lucy took the necklace from its cushion and wound it gently around Giovane's cold and damp neck. Lucy breathed in and as she latched the necklace into place, began to utter, "Conterras due Fiera. Conterras Rublen due Sorcerras. Conterras due Fiera due Rublen."

Luc stared at Giovane's shaking body, "Please work," she whispered, "Please work, please work!"

Then the necklace began to illuminate. The Emerald streaks flashed green sparks and the silver stars turned into small diamonds. Lucy clapped in delight and squealed silently, "Giovane," she said, "Princess of Celestia!"

Lucy ran into her chambers and quickly locked the door. She lit a candle and ran to her small desk. She laid the box in front of her and stared at it, "Now," she said and looked into her drawers for parchment. Lucy laid the crisp sheet of paper before her and found her quill and inkwell, "One more, tiny bit of work," she smiled and began scribbling in an elegant cursive style, "Dear Peter."

Giovane froze and her hand flew to her chest. Her eyes still shut tightly, but her breathing slowly relaxing into a normal pace. Giovane felt the corners of her mouth twitch upwards, as she heard beautiful voices in the void of a sweet dream.

Conterras due Fiera,

Giovane due Celestia.

Conterras due Sorcerras,

Fuela due Argour

Conterras due Fiera due Rublen,

Giovane due Celestia…

Giovane's body relaxed completely as she fell into a deep sleep.

Ledflien.
