OMG! Its been so long! I'm so sorry for the wait, hopeflly this l chapter will be enough for my young readers to forgive me! Enjoy! :3
The sun casted an orange colour over the clouds and skies as it was near setting. The 3 good fairies and Aerith sneak into Midgar's castle and hide in the tall tower, waiting for the sun to set and continue the day they have been planning for 16 years. They settled in a cosy room, with fireplace and all. Aerith sat in front of a dresser and stared at her reflexion, sadness and sorrow in her eyes and beautiful features as she wore her beautiful pink birthday dress. The three fairies approached her; they're true form exposed, wings and all.
"This one last gift, dear child for thee..." whispered Yazoo sweetly as him and his brothers used they're magic and wands to form a beautiful silver crown that matched her dress. " The symbol of thy royalty. A crown to wear in grace in beauty. As this thy right, and royal duty." Yazoo added as he placed the silver crown on Aerith's head. Aerith's heart sank, she begins to cry, lying her head agents the dresser as her arms shield her from the world.
"Oh Aerith." Said Yazoo with a heavy heart as he watches the young girl he raised and took care of for 16 years suffer. Yazoo places a hand on his brother's shoulder and stares at him with compassionate eyes.
"Come... Let us give her a moment."Yazoo mutters. Loz didn't like it, but nevertheless he nod in agreement and step out of the room with his brother to give Aerith some well needed space.
"It's that boy she met in the woods." said Kadaj in a very worried tone.
"What should we do?" asked Loz.
"I still don't understand why she has to marry the prince!" huffed Kadaj as he crossed his arms and popped his hip to the side.
"It's not for us to decide..." muttered Loz. Yazoo only began to pace around, thinking of a way to fix Aerith's broken heart. "Maybe we should tell the king about the boy." Loz added as he stares at Yazoo pace.
"Why not? It's better than just standing here." Shouts Kadaj. In that moment, Yazoo froze, his heart almost stopping as his eyes grew wide.
"Do you two hear that!" he said, pausing for a moment. Kadaj and Loz stare at him as if he were a mad-man. But then they heard it... That evil laughter that sends chills down even the most evilest of people's spine. "Sephiroth!" he cries out in horror.
"Aries!" all three said in chorus and the barge into the room quickly and desperately. The three stopped dead in they're tracks as they see Aerith walk down a bark path, lightened by a green light, a light they all knew belong to the evil warlock.
"Oh why did we leave her alone!" cries Loz in horror as him and his brother begin to run to her. But before they could get any closer, they're path was blocked by a brick wall. "Aries!" cried out Loz, almost painfully as he slams his fists agents the brick wall.
"Move Loz!" ordered Yazoo. Loz did so, giving the red fairy a good aim at the brick wall, and so he threw his magic at the brick wall, re-opening the path again. "Hurry!" shouted Yazoo as the three of them run into the path and into the darkness, searching desperately for their beloved adopted daughter. They called out her name in the darkness, running and searching as quickly as they're feet and wing would let them.
"Aries! Where are you!" Loz shouted loudly, tears forming in his eyes.
"Aries, don't touch anything!" yelled Kadaj on the top of his lungs as him and his brothers begin to fly up to the top of the tower.
"Touch the spindle... Touch it..!"said a raspy and dark voice as it echoed around the tower.
"ARIES!" shrieked Loz, tears running down his cheeks. The 3 fairies charged to the top room of the tower, only to gasp in horror as they come face to face with Sepiroth.
"You poor simple fools!" Sephiroth growls as he glares down at the 3 male fairies. "Thinking you can defeat me! Me! The master of all evil! Well... Here's your princess!" he shouts, stepping aside to reveal Aerith, laying motionless on the floor. The 3 good fairies gasp in horror as the evil warlock laughs and slowly dissolves, disappearing into thin air. Loz raced to Aerith, bursting into tears as he held her in his arms, crying out in agony as his beloved adopted daughter was now gone forever.
"T-this is all my fault... I-I'll never forgive myself...!" said Yazoo sorrowfully as tears formed in his eyes. Kadaj hugs Yazoo tightly, in both comfort and in pain.
"We're all to blame..." whispered Kadaj as he also spills tears of sadness.
In the great thrown room of the Midgar castle, sat the great king of Midgar and his beloved wife, waiting for their beloved daughter to arrive. Angeal slowly walks to the king, his chest about to burst as he took in a heavy sigh.
"My king, I'm afraid I have to tell you something." said Angeal, just above a whisper. The king of Midgar turns to Angeal and smiles warmly at his old friend.
"Yes king Angeal?" the king asks.
"It's about my son, Zackary." Angeal mutters.
" Oh! Zack, of course." the king pauses. "Why, where is the boy, I don't see him anywhere." The king adds as he looks around the great thrown room and finds no sight of said prince. "Bring him over at once king Angeal. My daughter is almost here."
"Yes, well—"before the Angeal could finish his sentence, the royal trumpets began to play loudly, announcing that the sun had set and that night rained over the heavens.
"It's night! My daughter should be here any moment now!" said the king of Midgar joyfully as he rose from his thrown. The kingdom began to rejoice and cheer as fireworks lighted up the dark sky. Angeal sighs heavily as he stares at his old friend.
High up in the main tower laid Aerith, her 3 adoptive fathers surrounding her, crying they're eyes out and sobbing till no end. Aerith lay peacefully in the royal bed with her hand on her chest, holding a white flower. Yazoo could no longer bare the guilt; he walks out of the room and to the balcony where he spilled his tears in his hands, soon after, he was joined by his brothers.
"Poor King... and his beloved queen...!" muttered Loz sadly.
"They'll be heart broken when they find out." says Kadaj. Yazoo slowly rose his head, he then whipped his tears and stuffy nose.
"They're not going to." Yazoo said firmly.
"What! They aren't?" asked Loz surprised.
"What are you talking about Yazoo?" asked Kadaj in a worry tone.
"We'll put them all to sleep." He said as he starts closing the curtains to Aerith's bedroom. "Until Aerith awakens..." Before fully closing the curtains, the 3 good fairies take one last good look at Aerith's sleeping form with sadness in they're eyes. Yazoo fully closes the curtains and turns to his brothers. "Let's go..." he mutters lowly as the 3 use their magic and wands to shrink. The 3 male fairies began to put the whole kingdom to sleep, not missing a child or man. Soon, there was no one left to put to sleep but the royals. Yazoo waved his wand around the king of Midgar and king Angeal.
"I have been talking to my son... and (yawns) it seems he had fallen in love with a peasant girl..." muttered king Angeal before slowly closing his eyes. Yazoo stopped dead in his tracks and turns to king Angeal.
"Peasant girl? Impossible!" shouts Yazoo as he flies back to king Angeal and starts to pull his hair. "Where? Who? Why?" he yells loudly.
"In the woods, the forgotten city no doubt..." muttered Angeal as he falls fully asleep.
"The forgotten city... Zack! Oh crap!" shouts Yazoo as he flies away from the king and towards his brothers. "We have to get back to the cottage!" he shouts loudly.
" Why? What's going on Yazoo?" asks Loz in a worry tone.
"I'll explain on the way there! Let's hurry, God knows how much time we have!" Yazoo shouts franticly, fling away from the castle with his brothers behind him. With hope, they would make it in time, before Sephiroth does...
