I was introduced to some new music and ended up using some here. The song I'm using is called For the Heart I Once Had by Nightwish, We Can Survive (I think that's the name) the theme song from Vandread my favorite Anime show.
I sat down in the garden feeling totally miserable again. It was a time of year and everyone had forgotten again. Luckily it was more of a broken heart problem then Dragon's controlling me once a year but that time had passed a little over two months ago and I had done what I had to do to stop him. This time I was reliving the time my betrothed Krane had been discovered cheating on me. I had released him as a guardian and told him I never wanted to see him again. Why was I always so alone at these times of deep depression? I wanted to cry but had to be strong. The kids played around in the garden close enough that they could hear if I called. I tried to stay strong but was failing at it miserably.
I started to sing wishing for freedom from what had happened to me many years ago before Dragon and Krane had done these things to me and my heart. It had changed me forever and my heart was never the same because of it. Always holes in my soul that pained me deeply.
"Heaven today is but a way.
To a place I once called home.
Heart of a child, one final sigh,
as another love goes cold.
Once my heart beat to the,
rhythm of the falling snow,
blackened below, the river now flows,
a stream of molten virgin snow.
For the heart I'll never have,
for the child forever gone.
The music flows because it longs.
For the heart I once had.
Living today without a way,
to understand the weight of the world,
faded and torn, old and forlorn,
my weak and hoping heart,
For the child, for the light,
for the heart I once had.
I'll believe and foresee.
Everything I could ever be.
For the heart I'll never have,
for the child forever gone.
The music flows because it longs.
For the heart I once had.
Time will not heal a dead girl's scars.
Time will kill.
For the heart I'll never have,
for the child forever gone.
The music flows because it longs.
For the heart I once had."
It was the same each time I got depressed. It was also because of Dragon and the scar, he would start to drain me of all emotion and there was nothing I could do about it. I'd hide it but someone would eventually remember why I was depressed and find out that Dragon was draining me of all my emotions but my sadness, fear, and anger but this time it was a memory I couldn't fight.
"Mama," Melody said suddenly. "I feel cold."
I looked at her. "You feel cold meaning your gift cold or normal cold?"
"It's our gift mom, and that's why it scares me. Where is the danger we are sensing? "She said and the others were starting to notice it too.
My children were given a gift the day they were born. They could sense evil when it approached they felt cold. They told me if we didn't know the danger was all ready there. This was a time I had no idea what the danger was. As I hurried upstairs I saw Tara coming inside with Zacks, her lover.
"Tara, my kids, they feel cold." I said.
She looked at me with fear. "Cold that's from their gift? What danger is here?"
"I don't know yet." I said shivering. "Do you know where Shadow and Hootaru are?"
"Yes I just was with them only a few minutes ago." She went with me to help me find them.
If there was danger near we had to alert everyone and Shadow and Hootaru would be able to tell everyone. Hootaru could do telepathy with the Trinity and most of the guardians. We found them quickly in the dining hall with the Key Bladers.
"Hooatru, Shadow, my children feel cold, as in their gift cold." I said without stopping for breath.
"Okay Seriana, you need to take a deep breath and calm down, while I contact and tell everyone to gather in the meeting room upstairs in a few minutes." Hootaru said and then closed her eyes letting her mind go to each mind and tell them the message.
As she opened her eyes I was looking at the Key Blades each of the guests had. "Will you join us? Since you have come here to learn of our world and with a gesture of peace from your king we would like you to come with us and learn about our world. It's not as perfect as it may seem to be at the moment."Dazara nearly fell over when Hootaru entered her mind throwing her off balance which when she meditated, that normally didn't happen
Sorry to intrude and startle you Dazara, but we have an emergency. We need to meet in the meeting room right away.
I'll tell Sam and Anna, they are with me at the moment.
Okay.
Hootaru left her mind and went to her two guardians who had followed her went she came to meditate. She pretended to fight as her way of meditating. Her sword was black and it held the power of the Anubi since it was gift from them. They had given her the sword and she used it often. It was connected to her very soul. It materialized when she wanted it to. She hurried to her two friends and related the message and they went to meet up with the others. They had given us each one and we used them, but Daraza used hers the most.Cheria.
Cheria fell from the tree branch she had perched on for her form of meditation. Right into Derek's lap who was sitting next to Ike around the trunk of the tree below her.
"Cheria, did you just fall out of the tree on accident or did you forget to warn us you were going to do that?" Ike asked surprised she would fall. She had never fallen out of a tree while meditating without telling them.
Cheria are you all right? I'm sorry I startled you like that. Hootaru's voice in her mind was truly repentant.
"It's okay Hootaru. What's up?" She said standing Ike and Derek jumped to their feet when they realized Cheria was talking to Hootaru.
Seriana's children they feel cold we need to meet up together right now. Something's wrong here. They can feel someone evil.
"I'm on my way with Derek and Ike." She said and they hurried inside."They said they felt cold." I said as we met in the meeting room on the third floor, big enough for everyone including the Key Bladers to be with us.
"Not right now but when we were outside." Darkness said then he jumped on to the window seal. "The coldness is gone now."
"What?" I asked.
"No evil is near though we did feel it before when we were downstairs we don't feel it now." he said jumping down and rejoined the rest of the kids on the floor playing.
We all breathed a sigh of relief and drifted off to our areas. I went with my kids toward the garden, to do my meditation. When I left the building by the front door I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Hello Seriana," The young fairy prince said, standing before me.
"Krane, what are you doing here?" I shouted.
"I'm here because my brother sent me here. I didn't know you were here otherwise he would have sent someone else." Krane said and then I saw his new girlfriend, Spring coming up behind him. I didn't blame her she didn't know at the time that I didn't know that Krane was with her and not me. I walked up to Krane and slapped him as hard as I could with all the strength I could muster then I turned and ran back inside with tears flooding my eyes and running down my cheeks. My kids were surprised I had taken off so quickly but they decided they would stay outside and play while I had some alone time.
I ran hard to my glass forest and ran deep into it until I reached a wall and fell to the floor hugging my knees then I did start to sing again but in depression to feel free again.
"For instance, even if those arms of mine become entwined in chains.
For instance, even if this space we live in someday will burn completely down.
Keep believing in hope if nothing else.
In the glimmering stars there is a world governed by darkness,
Just one life that is out there if you keep it entrapped there lonely boy.
The reason that we met each other here must surely exist.
For instance even if sorrow takes you and you are about to collapse under it,
For instance if my words can become a power to help you and keep you here.
I'm sure that even tomorrow we can survive.
Over passing broken time if there's a truth of life out there,
Keeping unreachable emotions a secret if you sit embracing my knees, lonely girl.
I'm sure we'll get there, as well to that faraway utopia
For instance even if sorrow takes you and you are about to collapse under it,
For instance if my words can become a power to help you and keep you here,
I'm sure that even tomorrow we can survive.
For instance even if sorrow takes you and you are about to collapse under it,
For instance if my words can become a power to help you and keep you here,
I'm sure that even tomorrow we can survive."
I sat there for a long time until Forest came to find me. He knew the glass forest as good if not better than me.
"Are you okay?" He asked holding me in a comforting matter.
"No, but I'll survive, well, maybe not. I'm barely holding on here. Why did he have to come here while I was here? He knows it hurts even if I don't love him anymore he still hurt me badly. His betrayal was probably the worse thing that I could imagine."
"Come on Seriana, you haven't meditated. Your emotions and powers are out of control because of it. Come on, you don't have to see him. I promise. You should have seen Tara face when she saw him. Zacks barely kept her from murdering him on the spot." Forest laughed and I cracked a small smile. "Come on, let's get you outside so you can mediate."
