i finally got over my writers block, i am SO sorry for the wait, but hopefully there won't be another break for that long again, any time soon

also, just to clear the air, yes if you want to get VERY techical it is a crossover, the reason i haven't labled it as one is because i only have a few characters poping in and out, there is a crossover to this series its called the battle of the balance, this is a part of a series so if you haven't read the other storys you should go read them/


Chapter 6: Remembering

Soon Nico and Marie left to go back to America; they had some business to attend to with the gods. They said they would be back and hopefully soon, but they had questions that needed answering and they had to find out how Rose's spirit had gotten out, they looked vaguely worried about that. I myself was just stunned about the whole thing.

Marie smiled at me and said "I know, it's a lot to take in, but you could have taken it a whole lot worse, you are gonna be fine." It was amazing how with those words I suddenly felt soothed. Marie took my hand and wrote a phone number on it "call this number in exactly one week, usually I hate using cell phones but given the situation I have no idea where I will be in one week, so call this number and I'll give you an update on when we'll be back." I nodded and watched as she and Nico headed away.

Bran spoke into the awkward silence that followed their departure "well, that was strange"

I don't know what came over me but I burst out laughing.

In my dreams that night all the memories came back to me.

I, as a young boy of eleven, was getting trained in how to fight with a sword at the palace, but something caught the corner of my eye and I turned to look to see Sarah, and I started training a bit harder.

I, at the age of twelve was standing near by as Sarah worked in her garden late into the night because she wanted to plant some moonlace which could only be planted at night. I listened to her explanation of why it could only be planted at night with wonder.

Me, At the age of thirteen hanging out with Calypso and Sarah talking and chatting with her happily.

Sarah's and my first kiss on my 17th birthday.

And the war, the horrible war between the palace of the guardians and forces of evil that linger in the darkness. The one that took me away from Sarah, and kept me away. Getting stabbed in the stomach, and begging to Nico to tell Sarah I was sorry, sorry for leaving her when I had promised I would come back to her.

And when I woke up I remembered Everything, the knowledge was not easy to take in, not by a long shot, but I was able to accept who I was.

Seeing Sarah the next day was an absolute joy, she just smiled as she tended to a little garden she had created for herself and talked with me and Bran, there was a space that was empty, ready for flowers but there were no flowers there. When Bran asked about it she frowned "I… I don't really know, I know I'm going to put something their, but I just can't put my finger on it."

I then recognized that this little garden was a miniature of the one she had had at the palace, and that that little blank area that was ready for flowers to be put in, was where she had put the moonlace. I smiled wondering if maybe there was a memory there buried.

Sarah looked at me and smiled herself "now why are you smiling?" she asked trying to scold me, and failing.

I just grinned and shrugged "I just am, you got a problem with it?" she grinned and she splashed me with her water bottle, getting me a little wet, we walked into her living room, her father brought out three hot chocolates and left leaving us alone to talk about various different things.

Sarah looked at me and smiled "I don't know what it is, I mean we only just met a few weeks ago, yet, when I'm around you I feel so happy." She blushed "I've even been dreaming the craziest dreams"

I sat up a little straighter while Bran stared intently at her. "Dreams?"

Sarah nodded "don't ask, its both embarising and crazy"

I smiled "well I promise we won't make fun of you"

She looked at me and sighed "in these dreams I'm a princess and you're a guard of mine you spend time with me and we slowly develop a romantic relationship" she was blushing bright red now.

Bran snickered, not because it was funny, but because the way she said it was just laughable she blushed even more and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Oh very mature!" he commented sarcastically a grin on his face.

She smirked "no one ever said I had to be mature!" she giggled "I told you guys it was crazy"

I shook my head "not really" she smiled at me and the whole world just felt right.

"Will look I'm sorry a lot of big things have come up we've found a temporary solution to the problem of me coming into my powers and waking up, but right at the moment I'm needed somewhere else,"

I nodded, I called Marie a week later like she asked and she had sounded stressed. "yeah, that's understandable"

Marie sighed "how is she? Is she remembering at all?"

I sighed now "she has dreams, they have little bits and pieces, but she thinks their just dreams."

Marie sounded a bit more relieved "that's good, hopefully we'll be able to give her time to remember then, I'll call you as soon as we have any real basic idea of what's really going on here"

I agreed and soon she hung up. I sighed with relief; time was exactly what Sarah would need.
