Chapter 15

Luna's POV

I find myself gasping as my body jerks forward. I hold my hand over my chest and feel the unsteady beat of my heart. My whole body's shaking. What the hell just happened? When I try to recall I find my mind in a blank. No memories, no past- nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

For the first time, I take a good look at my surroundings and find my heart drop. Since when did rocks float? Or see a waterfall that's has water rise?

And just to make things clear, no, I was not hallucinating, because I just pinched myself ten times.

This place is so, so different than anything I've ever seen. If I didn't have a lack of memory, I would be amazed. It actually looked beautiful. There was life almost everywhere, with trees so large and tall. Everything was so peaceful. I've never seen water go upward like that, but never less, it was moving at different speeds and was breathtaking.

I started roaming around without thinking, probably to take in the view of this unnatural world.

Even though this place was so amazing, I felt empty. It felt like something was missing, but I couldn't figure out what. There was life. Isn't that enough?

For a second I saw a huge black spot. As I came closer, it moved. My mind suddenly introduced a new word- shadow.

I followed it, believing there was something odd about it. Excluding mine, why was there another shadow among this forest? I am the only one here- I should be the only one here, but then, why did this shadow appear? I had questions and yet it added to my emptiness. I could feel so many words coming in my mind to describe what and how and why things were as they are, but they were hard to grasp. It was like… like a… like a…

I stopped chasing the shadow as another unknown feeling washed upon me as I found out I couldn't say my intended words. The words suddenly disappeared. What is happening to me?

I stared at my surroundings as if staring at things could fix or at least help fix my indescribable problems. I was in a small gap in this forest. A waterfall was crashing upward to some floated rocks. The sound of the water crashing against the rocks made the waterfall seem grand, another word I finally caught.

As I glared some more I found my lips curving downward and my eyes focusing solely on that waterfall. Something was way off. My feet moved toward this roaring water until I was only an inch away from it.

I gently pressed my palm against the wall of water and felt wrong. Another wave of thoughts came but this time I was able to understand them.

This wasn't right.

Water shouldn't have been moving this way. Water doesn't go upward, in goes downward. This wasn't a waterfall. The water wasn't falling, it's rising. Water isn't like this. Water is unpredictable and can be and do many things in many different ways. Water is water and this blue thing isn't.

It's fake.

Feelings overwhelmed in me. Words were no longer in hiding. Anger, joy, and the utter feeling of freedom broke through. The feelings of fear, confusion, and most of all loneliness were what I had before my breakthrough, yet I still had them.

But I realized what had caused my main emptiness. Part of it was my curiosity that wasn't answered, but it was mostly because of lack of one certain thing.

Emotions.

Without emotions, there is no life. Without life, well, you have nothing.

I face appeared in my mind and I instantly recognized it.

"Nuri," I whisper. I remembered the vow I made about not letting his death go in vain and felt tears come down my cheeks. Something was really off about him in the cave. Nuri wouldn't hurt me. Brothers aren't supposed to hurt their sisters. He was my only family and my best friend who I'd trust my life with. More tears fall down, but I don't bother pushing them away.

I won't fail him and I won't die- even though it feels like I've already have- because Nuri would have wanted it.

In my mourning I cried out his name, "NURIII!"

In that instant, all my tears that I've shed had come together and grown. Columns of water formed around me. A beautiful moon appeared in the clear sky.

Nuri's POV

It hadn't been that long when I woke up in a weird forest.

I didn't have time to wonder about the unnatural landscapes when I heard my name echoing across this world and the largest moon I've ever seen appeared in the blank sky.

In that instant I reacted without a second thought. Luna needs me.

My whole body was glowing and bursting with heat. Rays of light spread out as far as my eye could see.

I shouted the name that gave me the greatest power, "LUNAAA!"

And a shining sun was revealed. It and its opposite came together in perfect balance.

Together we shall become one. The one that supports all.

Red's POV

As my feeling of ever growing pain and worry increased as each second ticked by without Luna waking, I did nothing except but wait, leaning on the trunk of a tree.

"Red," Pit started to say but stopped as I gave him a glare. I knew he was going to try another unsuccessful conversation on how he thinks she won't live. But she has to live.

She had to live.

Suddenly, a trickle of water came out of nowhere and circled around her. I was too stunned to move as that trickle enlarged and created a huge wall of water around her. The water made her float in air as a symbol appeared on the ground. The glowing symbol depicted a picture of a beautiful moon.

I whispered, "Luna," and I ran towards her, but her water wall shot an immense amount of water and blew me against the trunk of a tree, making me completely soaked.

"Pika!" Pikachu shouted, being alarmed at the water's attack. He turned toward the wall with his red cheeks sparking electricity saying, "Pikaaa…"

I held out my hand, "Pikachu wait! You'll hurt Luna if you use thunderbolt!"

Pikachu stopped instantly, but looked wearily at Luna.

"Red!" Pit shouted as he ran towards me. "Red are you okay?"

I nodded as I watched Luna in her protective water case.

What's going on?

Samus's POV

Nuri was glowing- again.

"Link! Link!" I called out. But I got no reply. He probably was still training. The kid was glowing even brighter. I made a quick decision.

I grabbed Nuri and hauled him over my back. I ignored by back's constant complaining at his huge weight. He's not fat or anything, but I'm not used to carrying people, especially fourteen year olds.

As I was running through the halls, I noticed how warm he was. Does he have a fever or something? Sometime later, I felt my arms and back slightly stinging. I took a quick glance and for a second I thought I saw smoke. It was like he was on fire without actually being on fire. Funny, how weird comparisons can be.

I had finally came to the end of the hallway and started going through the stairs when I could definitely smell smoke coming from the teenage boy.

"LINKKK!" The boy was so hot, that he was burning me. With some strangled gasps I set/drop the boy in the middle of the field.

Link ran over and said, "What's going on?"

"What's going on? You think I know? I'm in the room about to leave when the kid starts glowing. I called for you, but you weren't there! So guess who had to pick Mr. Heavy over her back? Next you know the kid starts to feel really warm and ends up burning by back and arms! And then I start to smell smoke from him! Who actually knows what the hell is going on?" I ranted.

Link stared at me for a couple of seconds. No one's ever seem me rant for so long. Actually, I couldn't even recall ranting that much.

"Just," Link shakily said, "just call down."

But I couldn't calm down. We never understood Nuri's abilities so how will we understand this? I hated not knowing what to do.

I felt my eyes widen as a circle of fire suddenly appeared around him. I was about to head straight toward Nuri when Link grabbed my arm and shook his head.

"Why aren't you letting me go? He'll burn!"

But as we watched a bright, glowing Nuri be engulfed in flames I noticed something. The fire is helping him float straight as another set of flames writes something in the ground encircled by reddish orange light. A final burst of light shoots out and then the flames are gone. All evidence of a burning Nuri is gone except for one thing. In the ground beneath Nuri was a symbol of the Sun.

Nuri had floated down to the ground and I saw his eyelids starting to flutter open as he mumbled, "What happened?" and his knees buckled, but Link and I supported him.

"Thanks," he muttered.

I gave a small smile, "No prob."

Red's POV

The water slowly resided into the ground as Luna slowly landed on land. When she came to, she muttered something before swaying to her right and falling into Pit's arms.

"Whoa there, you just met me, and already you're falling in my arms," Pit lightly joked.

Luna gave a weak smile before speaking, "So you're the angel- Pit, right? I'm Luna, nice to meet you."

She gave a tiny yawn before her eyelids closed and she fell asleep peacefully.

Pit chuckled, "Yeah, nice to meet you too."

For some reason, I found myself disturbed, but I tried to shrug it off.

Luna's alright and I've found Pit. I think we've been through enough for one day and besides it's pretty late. Tomorrow will be the day for questions and hopefully some answers.
