So again I have spell checked, and read over but if there are any typos in it I do apologize. It is currently past 1am and that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it lol and I will say that Journey's old songs have inspired this story a lot! so, Enjoy!
Serenity learned later that night when she awoke from her exhaustion that Endymion had survived the battle with a small scratch along his left breast, over his heart. But Drustan wasn't so lucky. Drustun, begging more top heavy moved slowly where Endymion was tall and well built over all, Drustun had lunged for Endymion is exasperation and desperation, but Endymion dodged making Drustun slide on the mud and fall, Endymion - Serenity knew the ending and begged Sapphire not to repeat the day's telling.
She ignored the nurse's warnings and slid out of bed during the nightly hours and slid into Endymion's bed. Thinking about Endymion, she hated the fact he had been slightly injured on her account, she traced the thin line with a few small stitches carefully with her finger tips. And as she laid in her twilight she realised loving a man, like Endymion wasn't all it was supposed to be. From childhood it had always been her and him running along the road fading into the midnight sun. She chased the dream her heart craved, sending her love down a secret line only she and Endymion could ever share. Each time he would come to her bed their love affair was far from easy, they had to come together as strangers who had to learn how to fall in love with each other all over again, yet both would get the joys of rediscovering each other. It was better than how they would be, restless and impatient hearts sleeping alone at night.
Serenity didn't know how to answer when Endymion raised his head and asked her 'Won't you stand by me?'
Yet her reply came like nature, Serena's eyes foretold her heart and her eyes seemed to whisper, 'I'm still yours forever, Faithfully and always will be if you will have me...' He placed his lips over hers, every time they came as strangers and re-discovered a new passion. Falling in love again wasn't an option, it was a need. She wondered where their adventure would take her next, The candle light's flickered in the small wind as she stood by Endymion and Endymion stood by her. And as the candle lights simmered to a thin smoke they found themselves alone in the dark, fascinated by their ignorance in each other to think that this would never come to an end. But where there was smoke there was fire. Endymion was the love that found Serenity and broke the chains free, true love wouldn't desert a person and Serenity hoped that this was true love. Separate ways would begin again when the sun rose.
Endymion watched Serenity walk down the stairs to the front courtyard, greeting the people in her fashion ,a smile that warmed everyone to the core and those bright eyes , blue and Shawn like pearls, danced on her face. He noticed she had suddenly been given a peachy , golden glow to her cheeks. It had never been there before. He shrugged, It was just relieving to see her stepping out into the light. It was refreshing .
He turned to walk into the hallway but was stopped by the Swish of raven black hair that brushed his arm. "Oh." He said , his own glow died and his face turned to a mask. "It's you." He rolled his eyes and scoffed at her.
She folded her arms and pretended to be disgusted with her flirtatious tone, "Oh Endymion! Don't pretend like you aren't happy to see me!" She laughed.
He blinked, "I'm not pretending."
He made the move to walk past her. But she quickly glided in front of him, "Now Endymion. We are blood related-"
"Must you remind me?" he snapped. His distaste for his sister half sister Rai was clearly written on his face, he pushed past her.
"I know Endymion!" Rai cried after him.
Those 3 words made him stop, dead. He slowly turned his head, "About what?"
Rai's lips twisted and turned into a snarl, "About The Queen and You."
"Rai, what are you trying to get at?" He sighed, heavily tired of her.
"You know what I am talking about Endymion. Don't worry, though I will keep it a secret." She sweetly smiled.
Endymion scoffed again, "Rai, please find something else to occupy your time than implying things about our Queen. Our brother-"
"Half Brother's" Rai cut in, sharply and quick to correct.
"Either way Rai." Endymion said, his voice had hints of anxiety in it. And Rai detected it, and latched onto it quicker than an arrow flies to meet it's target. He could have slapped himself for his words.
"Suit yourself Endymion. Just don't forget I can see the future. And yours isn't lookin' so bright my little half brother. "
"I may be younger but I am not little Ra!." He turned then paused and turned back again, "What about the Queen's?" He asked suddenly. The words had slipped out against his will. A day without Serenity's face was something to be endured.
Rai chuckled to herself quietly, "You'll see."
