Chapter 11: Last Day, Maybe
Dinner last night was pretty uncomfortable for Storm and Ginny. For one they didn't really know on how to act around one another after Storm kissed Ginny. Storm really wanted Ginny to stay but now worried that because he kissed her she would want nothing to do with him. Ginny was worried that Storm really didn't like her since he seemed to be giving Ginny the cold shoulder. They were hurting each other and everyone could see it even Ron who usually never notice this. Everyone seemed to wonder what was going on between the two of them. Even in the morning the next day, they were still not talking to each other.
It was Sunday the last day that Ron, Hermione and Ginny had to figure out if they wanted to stay here or go back to Earth. Hermione was really seeing on what such a nice place Risa was and how calm and relaxing it was. Not to mention the library that was literally huge.
Ron saw on how powerful everyone was here. Not to mention they had no such thing as money so nobody was poor. Everyone was nice to him. Ron was starting to see that Risa might actually be where he belonged, and who he wanted to be.
Ginny was in love with Risa, with its people and places but there was one thing that kept Ginny from making actually decision. Storm. Ginny wanted to know why he kissed her and if he felt something for her. It was starting to get too confusing for Ginny. Until Layla brought up something during lunch on Sunday.
"Aunt Lunesta you work in the Courts. When was the prophecy made? Or do you at least have an estimate on when it was made?" Layla asked.
Lunesta put down her fork and put on a bemused face. After a few minutes she came out of it and replied, "Well it was created not long after we left Earth all those centuries ago. So most even now, do not believe we will ever remerge back with the people on Earth. Why do you ask?"
"More of curiosity but also because I doubt that any relationship would change the prophecy. That the First and the Second will get together just like the Third and the Fourth will. I better head back home, thanks for lunch, Aunt Lunesta, Uncle Sirius."
"Hey, Layla can I walk you home," Apollo asked. Layla nodded and the two of them left the house. No one understood what Layla meant but Ginny and that solved her problem she would be staying.
The next day when Ron, Hermione, and Ginny left Storm was as solemn as ever but there was one moment when green meant brown. It was brief but for some reason it eased Storm and Ginny's nerves about what lay ahead.
Ginny took a deep breath in the hall before going in to see the Royal Courts once again. "Have you made your decisions young ones," King Helios asked. Ron, Hermione and Ginny nodded their heads.
"Then what have you decided." Queen Luna asked gently.
Ginny took a deep breath and said loudly, "I'm staying."
"So am I," came Ron and put a hand on Ginny shoulder.
"I'll stay. I'm needed more here then back on Earth," Hermione replied.
Princesses Comet got off her throne and walked over to Hermione bent down so the two of them were eye to eye. "Hermione, the Royal Court has granted you permission to see your parents once every month. This is because you are muggleborn and an only child. Ginny, Ron well send letters to your family explaining that they should not worry about you two. That you will be cared for here and you will come back to Earth when you Ron and Hermione are seventeen, and you Ginny are sixteen."
"Now that the pleasantries are done. Close your eyes and don't open them until I say so," Prince Star commanded. The trio closed their eyes and heard some noises that sounded foreign to their ears. Then in a flash of light, Ginny did feel more powerful and also more beautiful.
"Open your eyes young ones," King Helios commanded.
"Ginny you have the power of fire. Ron you have the power of water. Hermione you have the power of air or wind depending on how you think of it," Queen Luna stated. "Now for your names, who will like to be first?"
"I will," Ginny said.
"Let see there is Pele, Itzpapalotl, Vesta? Any one of those," Queen Luna asked.
"No ma'am."
"How about Sekhmet," Prince Star asked.
"No sir." Ginny responded those names didn't feel right to her.
"How about something simple like Flame," King Helios suggested.
"Yes, I like that one."
"All right you will know be known as Flame. Whose next?"
"I will," Ron piped out.
"How about Arausio or Barinthus," Princess Comet suggested.
Ron shook his head. "Then how about Volturnus. No. Don't blame you," Prince Star said.
"How about Mist?" Queen Luna suggested.
"All right," Ron said.
"You're name is now Mist. Hermione are you ready for you're new name?" Princess Comet asked. Hermione nodded her head.
"How about Air. Yes. You're new name is now Air. Welcome, Flame, Mist, and Air to Risa." King Helios grinned at the trio.
"Lunesta, Sirius takes these kids out to lunch while we find out where we will put them. When you come back we should have found some family who would take them in," with that Queen Luna sent them out and the Royal Court started to locate some families.
"So where do you guys want to go?" Lunesta asked once everyone was outside.
"I need to get to work. I'll see everyone later," Sirius kissed Lunesta and left the group.
"Same question is still out there people."
"How about Redwood Café, for lunch?" Flame suggested.
"Everyone agree. All right Redwood Café here we come," with Lunesta, Flame, Mist and Air started to walk toward the Redwood Café.
The Redwood Café was made completely out of Redwood. Not to mention its food was delicious like most food on Risa was. The foursome sat at a booth that overlooked the forest and mountains. The café was small but peaceful and relaxing at the same time.
Lunesta was informing the three in more detail on what life was like here on Risa. When everyone was done with lunch, they said their thank you to the chefs and their waiter and walked back to the Royal Palace.
When they got in, they saw that there were two other people in the room. Artemis and Ares were talking with the Royal Family when Lunesta, Flame, Mist and Air walked up.
"Ah, here they are," Queen Luna, exclaimed.
"Flame, Air we would like to know if you want to live with us," Artemis asked.
"I would love to live with you," Flame exclaimed and jumped into Artemis arms.
"Air," Ares asked. Air looked at all the faces breathed in slowly and nodded. Ares came over picked her up and hugged her like a teddy bear.
"Lunesta we will like to know if you want to take in Mist as well," Prince Star asked a small smile on his face.
"I would love to have Mist stay with my family. Mist would you like to live with me, Sirius, Storm and Hemera," Mist looked up at Lunesta face and nodded his head.
"You are now dismissed. Oh and Lunesta spend the rest of this week at home. You can come back next Monday," King Helios stated. Lunesta nodded her head. Lunesta, Mist, Artemis, Flame, Ares and Air then left the room and headed outside.
"We'll meet up later," Artemis said before giving Lunesta and Mist a hug.
"All right how about Wednesday at the Glen in the Aragorn Forest at midday," replied Lunesta.
"We'll see you then little sis," Ares called and the two families started to walk their separate ways.
"Lunesta, how do you think Storm is going to react with me living with you now?" Mist asked in a concerned voice that sounded much younger then he really was.
"I don't know but I'm pretty sure he will be happy to have another boy in the house who isn't and adult," Lunesta responded and gave Mist a one armed hug. Soon the two of them reached Lunesta house.
"Right we need to set up a room for you. Will use the one I just installed. Fallow me Mist," Lunesta walked down a hallway and made an immediate left at a wall.
Lunesta did some type of a knock and a door showed up. Lunesta put her hand on the door knob and pushed it open.
"Step in," Lunesta said sweetly. Ron stepped into a blank room and in a flash of light; the room was bathed in an ocean blue. Waves were painted on the walls and the bedpost was blue metal with waves and sea creatures on the blanket. The room suited Mist element so well that he actually felt he was in the sea.
Mist slowly fell onto his bed. "Hello," a voice asked which sounded a lot like Storm.
"Ello," a smaller higher pitched one called sounding a lot like Hemera.
"In here," Lunesta called. A thud was heard and Storm came in wearing his bow, arrows and daggers as well as his sword, which he had a hand on.
Storm's eyes went wide when he saw the room. He then noticed Mist and smiled, "I take it you decided to stay," Mist nodded his head, "What's your new name and element? Even though I already have a feeling that I know what the element is."
"Mist, element water," Mist replied.
"Welcome to the family. Did Hermione and Ginny also stay or did they leave?"
Mist shook his head at Storm. "New names Air and Flame, elements wind/ air and fire. My little sister is Flame. There living over at Layla's house."
Silently Storm prayed that he would have another chance at Flame, even if it were in the prophecy. "Awesome, when are you starting your education."
Mist looked up at Lunesta who replied, "Tomorrow so why don't you to go and pick out a sword, bow, some arrows and a few daggers for Mist okay?"
"Sure come on Mist," Mist got up of his bed and fallowed Storm out.
