Robin and I just starred at the beautiful site that was presenting itself. I walked over to the wall and touched the water. It was icy cold. But not in a freezing death sort of way. More like a refreshing, and lively feeling. When I touched the water, I felt like I was reborn. No wonder Mother Nature likes it.
"Princess." Robin said behind me.
I turned around and saw what he was pointing at. There, in the stone of the wall, was a hand graved portrait of the first moon princess. Followed by the names of (what I am guessing) the other moon princesses. I walked over and started to read the names on the wall. Aisha De Noir. Abelle De Noir. Clemence De Noir. The names went on for a while, each one ending with De Noir.
"Princess..." Robin said, pointing at a name at the end of the list.
I looked at the name. The name read 'Maria De Noir'. This couldn't be right. My last name was Merryweather, not De Noir. There was a sudden loud thud. I turned around to see Robin on the floor. I ran over to him. I kneeled on the ground and held him close. His eyes were shut for some reason.
Then suddenly, the water wall began to sink down. I grabbed a canteen from Robin's pants and rushed over to fill it with the special water. I was able to receive only a little bit of the water before it ran out. I let out a sigh of relief, but then wondered what had happened. I heard a groaning come from Robin as he sat up. I ran over to him to see if he was alright.
"Robin…" I said. "What happened?"
"I don't know…" he replied. "That was weird though"
"That's not the only thing that's weird."
"Why? What happened?"
"The oceans water, it's just gone!" I said.
"The second sign" he simply said.
He was right. The trees would be dead by now. I bent down and I hugged him. I was scared. Everything is happening at once. I had to save Moonacre yet again. Robin pulled me to the floor in a playful way, and pinned me down. He kneeled over my body, and kissed me. Why at a time like this would he do that? I must really not care because I kissed him back. I was almost depressed when he backed away.
"What was that for?" I asked.
"I've gone way to long without kissing you" he replied.
"Do you feel better now?" I asked.
"I would feel better if you did it again" he said pouting.
"Release me and I will see what I can do" I replied
He slowly let go of my hands, and I immediately grabbed his shoulders. I threw him to the ground so I could be on top of him. I leaned into a kiss with him making it a deep one. As I became deeper into his kiss, I didn't notice what was going on behind me. On the wall, underneath my name, there were words being burned into the wall. The words were clear and simple.
'Robin De Noir, king of the forest, keeper of the moons heart.'
