Tree

"Thanks for getting a tree for me Flamel!" I said cheerfully as I pulled out all my ornaments and lights.

"Do you need help?" Flamel asked. "Uh yeah, I usually get tangled in the lights so that'd be a problem if I were by myself," I said sheepishly.

"Yay! You wanna stay for the ornaments? Pwease?" I asked him. "Sure," he shrugged.

"And the last part is the star..." I sighed, "Now how will I reach?" Flamel knelt and just said, "G-Get on my shoulders." "O-Okay," I said and did as he told . With his help I gently placed the star on the top of the tree.

"Wow Flamel, from way up here, I could reach anything!" I laughed.

Stars

I sat on Dee's deck, watching intensely the stars high above. The little boy did the same, and suddenly stood up.

"One day, I'll be so big that I'll be able to touch the stars!" John announced as he flailed his arms.

"Really? That'd be awesome."

"And and and I'll bring one for you, tell me which one do you like!"

"Well... That idea is cute but... If you were to go away to catch it, I'd be lonely." I replied sadly.

He looked thoughtful for a minute and then he took my hand.

"Then I'll take you with me!"

I giggled and looked again at the star-filled sky.

"Fine... But 'till then, let us watch the stars together."

Lightning

His stern eyes looked at you with a somewhat thoughtful expression. Just the fact that you were there with him made you different from anyone else, but that you also stood there without flinching as the lightning struck… You weren't like anyone else.

The flashes lit up your face in a few seconds each time so he could see your eyes, just as stern as his, as they peered into the distance. The whole thing looked like a scene from one of the stories people told around the campfires, something from the legends of gods and mysterious warriors of the past.

That was just what you were, a warrior, just like him.

"The gods favor us." You turned around and smiled towards him with a hand on the sword in your belt.

He simply nodded in reply as another flash of lightning lit up the sky behind you. The hard wind made your hair dance as well as the cloak over your shoulders. You really looked like one of the warriors of legend, wild and dangerous.

"I'm glad," he answered shortly, still amazed over your appearance.

You walked over to him and put your hands on his chest.

"Do not fear Palamedes. We'll win this." You smiled encouragingly towards him before you gently stroked his cheek. "The day after tomorrow we shall celebrate their defeat."

He nodded. He believed you. You were different, you could do it. But still, why did he have the horrible feeling that on the day after tomorrow you would no longer be by his side?
