A/N: hey guys. Gomen for not updating in a long time, but now I have retuned with a new chapter from my room, while Phobos and Karasu are sleeping peacefully beside me. Plus I have found a little sleeping headchog, I can't write this…you know a little animal like Sonic, when I come back from the hair stylist because I needed to get the split ends of my hair cut. Well the little fellow is now sleeping outside in the little hut in our garden on a leaf bed, carefully cowered and I hope that my hair grows soon long again. My friend and room mate wants to drag me to the next anime-con and she suggested we should do also a costplay. So that means that I will play Itachi and she Konan…
P.S.: this will be in a way a Halloween chapter for this…
XVIII. Embrace of Darkness
Everything was cowered in deep darkness. The air was cold as ice, like as if Death himself would rule over that place.
Eva slowly sat up on the cold rock she was laying on, her eyes slowly getting adjusted to the dark around her. She remembered looking for Aikka and finding that book with he poem and then there come the darkness and the cold.
She knew who it was…
"I see you are awake now…my daughter…" said a deep, dark voice.
"Canelotto, let me go immediately." Eva hissed at the ex-Avatar who was now floating in front of her.
"You have grown in to a beautiful young woman and your power has also grown to an immense high. I'm rather proud of you my child and your daughters…"
"Leave my children alone!" Eva yelled as suddenly a deep red aura surrounded her.
"Don't worry, I would never hurt my granddaughters, but they father and your friends are standing in my way…"
"You will not get near any of them as long as I'm here."
"Yes, that is true my child, but you will join me…" Canelotto said chuckling.
"NEVER!" the queen of Nourasia yelled.
"Oh yes you will my child." And then he disappeared, leaving Eva to her thoughts. While she sat there alone she suddenly remembered the poem she wrote on that day when she met her friends and love again.
"The time of need and pain filled the hearts with sorrow,
But then a Star come calling for the brave.
Come to my world if you hear my call,
Show us your power and make your wish.
She whispered the first phase as the memories of the past returned to her.
They come all when the Star called,
They hearts filled with pain and sorrow.
They come to fight for they dreams,
Hearts breaking and hearts burning.
But oh the Star lied,
You should become the Star.
The pain grew and the hate
Tried to take out the flame of hope.
Even if the Star lied,
The hearts begun to beat.
I wished you luck, even if you broke me.
Only the stars knew then,
That you saved me.
Under the stars I seed my tears,
Not knowing that you did the same.
We all long for something,
But live ends so quick
And time flies away on angel wings.
Only the stars stay for eternity.
Only the stars know the wishes of the ones,
Who look up to them.
Only they know our destiny…"
Tears streamed down her checks as the poem ended. Why did Canelotto return after all those years? Why is he every time there to destroy her happiness and push her in to the cold darkness…
Meanwhile in Nourasia…
The whole palace was still looking for the queen, but soon the icy reality that she was now by Canelotto begun to dawn on everyone. Aikka was fully on the ground, tears streaming down his face while the others were stomping around in anger.
"This can't be, I killed him." The Avatar growled angered.
"We all thought that he was dead, but he still returned…" Aikka said sadly.
"But why did he take Eva and why is he also after the children?" Don asked.
"Because Canelotto once told her that he was her father…"
She wanted to return back home to her family, her friends. Everyone was probably worried half death about her. Suddenly a cold hand touched her check, startling te young queen.
"There is no chance for you to escape your destiny my daughter and you know that…" said Canelotto.
"I will not give in to you." She said as she tried to jerk her head away from the creature, but her body refused to move.
"Yes you will join me Eva then you are my creation, my daughter…"
To be continued…
