Chapter 14: Destiny Mates

"How do I look," Storm said for the tenth time that night. It was the day that Storm was going to take Flame out on both of their first dates, and Storm was scared.

"For the tenth time you look fine, Storm," Mist said from Storms bed. Storm was wearing black dress pants and a red polo shirt, family crest on the shirt and pants.

"Storm, your hair is fine, so stop combing it," Apollo put in as he looked up from his homework that he and Mist were copying from Storm.

"That is because you two aren't the ones going on a date. Even though Mist going on one tomorrow with Air," Mist turned a bright red. (A/N. To everyone who thought the kissing couple was Mist and Air you got it right.)

"You know it's not that bad. Except for the first few minutes that's probably the worst but I got to first base at least," Apollo said with a smirk. Mist and Storm looked at Apollo with a confused face. "It's a muggle Earth expression."

Mist and Storm nodded their heads. Storm looked outside, "I better get going. See you guys after ten." With that Storm turned into a falcon, Apollo got up and opened the window so Storm could fly out.

Storm flew out and into the sky all the way to Layla's house to pick up, Flame. It took about five minutes to get to the house. Storm landed on the doorstep and turned back into a human. Storm took a few deep breaths to calm his heart and knocked.

"Coming," a voice said that sounded like Layla. The door opened to see Layla, "Hello Storm. Come in and give me a few seconds to go and get Flame." Storm walked in and Layla ran up to the stairs to go get Flame.

"Hello Storm," Ares said.

"Hi, Uncle Ares," Storm replied.

"I want her to come back as she left. In other words a maid, Storm," Ares said as he sat down at the couch.

"Uncle Ares I'm not planning on doing anything like that until I'm married," Storm said and was actually shocked that he said that.

"Good you past the test. You are free to date Flame. I did the same thing to Apollo," Ares said and went back to his book. Storm was saved by saying anything by Flame coming down; his breath got caught in his throat.

Flame was wearing a red skirt with a flame on it and a red blouse to match. Both articles had the family crest on them. Her hair was in ringlets that fell down over her shoulders and back. "Ready," Flame asked.

"Yeah," Storm said. The two of them left the house and moved outdoors. Storm turned into a winged horse (A/N think of Pegasus, from Hercules with out the blue hair) and Flame climbed on. Storm launched himself into the sky, he felt Flame pressing her body against his, and it was intoxicating.

Soon he landed at the Riverside Inn where Flame got off and Storm turned back into a human. "Ready my lady?" Storm said offering her his arm.

Flame took his arm and said back, "Whenever you are my lord."

Storm and Flame walked into the restaurant hand in hand. "Hello, how many," a man asked with blonde hair.

"Two," the man nodded.

"Fallow me, please. Your waiter will be here shortly," the man led the two to a table that faced the view of the ocean and mountains.

Little did the two know was that they were in the same spot that Sirius and Lunesta were in. The two of them went into an awkward silence as they browsed threw their menus.

"Its beautiful here," Flame said as she looked at the view.

"Yeah, this is going to sound clichéd a bit but, in my view. You are as beautiful as the view out there." Storm caught Flame's hazel eyes and the two of them were suddenly filled with peace and belonging.

Slowly the two inched together, "Hello my name is Pollux. What would you like to eat?" Storm and Flame jumped turned and saw that their waiter was there.

"Oh. I would like the stew with a side of vegetables with some water," Storm said and was silently peeved that the waiter turned up then to get their orders.

"I would like the chicken pastrono (A/N not a real dish) with a side of white clam chowder also with some water please," Flame said as she handed her menu to Pollux as long with Storm's.

"I will be back with your meals," Pollux said and left their table.

Storm smiled and looked at Flames face that was facing the view. The sun was shinning down on her red hair, radiated her features and clothes, which made her look even more stunning to Storm. Subconsciously, Storm reached over and started to move his hand gently up and down her back. It felt so right to do it and he soon found Flame laying against him as she looked out at the view. She looked up, their eyes met, and the calm, peaceful feeling returned.

Storm slowly moved his face down and soon captured her lips. The kiss was sweet and put all thoughts of where they were and who was watching out of their minds. The two of them lost all sense of time it could have been days or months for all they knew before they broke apart. The two of them just looked into each other's eyes completely at peace with the world.

"You're orders are here," Pollux said as he put the entrees down.

"If you need anything just ring," and Pollux left with out another world.

"Lousy timing," Storm, muttered.

Flame giggled, "So what are we doing after dinner?"

"I was thinking we could walk around the lake in the Aragorn Forest until its time for me to take you home. Trust me the lake is beautiful at sunset," Storm replied as he ate his meal. The rest of the meal was spent in comfortable silence. Soon the two of them were done and left the restaurant and Storm changing into a winged horse again.

Storm took of and soon in a few beats of his wings he landed by the lake where Flame spent the night at when she first time at Risa. Flame dismounted off of Storm and he transformed back into a human. "So how have you been liking your life here on Risa?"

"Everyone is much nicer here then on Earth. Not to mention it is much more beautiful here," Flame said as the two of them started to walk around the crystal clear lake.

"And your classes?" Storm looked over at Flame and saw something that most people couldn't see.

"Some are hard like the archery and swordsmanship classes. Some are easy like the history or the Ancient Language classes," Flame replied.

"I think I can help with some of your classes like the archery and swordsmanship classes. If you want, that is," Storm said.

"Sure."

Storm nodded his head mumbled a few words and moved his hands into different patterns. Soon his bows and arrows were there on the ground as well as a bull's eye.

"Put the quiver on and take the bow also," Storm said as he displayed on how to hold the bow before transferring the bow to Flame. "Loosen up don't be so stiff. There you go now put the arrow right here. Arms a bit up, you want it to be even with your eyes. There you go." Storm looked down and saw that his arms were around Flames as they helped her position the bow. She looked up and their eyes meet once again. The same peaceful and now loving feelings entered their minds.

Storm leaned down and once again kissed Flame and all feelings escaping their minds except love and peace. As the kiss wore on it got deeper and deeper. Until the need for air, provide to be too powerful for the both of them.

I love you, Storm thought.

I love you to Storm, Flame thought back

"Did you just say something," Storm asked.

Flame looked up at him, "Not aloud. Didn't you just say something a few seconds ago."

"Well yeah but. I'll ask Aphrodite tomorrow," Storm shook his head, and continued the lesson. Soon Storm dropped off Flame at Layla's house, and the two of them shared a good night kiss before Storm departed.

When Storm got home, he promptly fell into bed, much to Mist's displeasure. Storm's dream suddenly took on knew meaning.

NEXT DAY

"Aphrodite," Storm called as he entered Apollo's house.

"In the kitchen," Aphrodite called.

"Aphrodite."

"That's my name and don't wear out. Which you are starting to do, Storm."

"Aphrodite, I have a question and this is something that mom can't answer. Can you?" Storm asked.

"I can try what is the question?" Aphrodite said while she was washing the dishes.

"What would you call people that when they look at each other, Peaceful feelings enter their minds and they can talk to each other threw their minds. What would you call them?" Storm asked as he sat down in one of the chairs.

"There is something called Destiny Mates one step up from Soul Mates. Destiny Mates happen once probably in a thousand years or so. But no matter where the two are, they'll always find each other. But they are usually more powerful then a human but equally, to a degree, for us Risans. If you are one of them, you have an immunity to love potions, which can be pretty helpful at times. You believe that you and Flame are Destiny Mates don't you?"

Storm looked at Aphrodite and said quietly, "Yeah."

"You are and better tell Flame soon. As the years will go by you'll find out more stuff."

A/N. I like this chapter. See if you can find the foreshadowing in this chapter. Remember the formula. Review!
