Author's Note: Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't post this earlier but I wanted to make sure I didn't get any more suggestions. I'm going to progress with the story now. If I kept doing suggestions it would probably never stop! Thank you for all of you who did give an idea, I loved writing all of them! This is going to be short because I'm beginning to get writers block =( I know the basic idea but not the details so hopefully it won't be that hard! Here's chapter thirteen! Hope ya'll like it!
Clarion and her siblings were making their way back to the Pixie Dust Tree after a day in the Winter Wonderland, as everybody called it. Once they made it to the Pixie Dust Center, they had all decided it was best to have an early night. Then out of the blue, a swirl of white dust came towards them. It collided with the golden stream of dust falling from the tree and created the same ghostly spirit that had showed them their interesting past. Except this time, the creature spoke.
"Robert, Dania, James and Clarion." It said. The creature had a deep voice yet it was feminine like. "Pack your belongings." The siblings looked at each other shocked.
"What do you mean 'pack our belongings'?" Robert asked. He was the eldest, which meant he was the bravest. The creature raised a concentrated liquid eyebrow; surprised that someone dared question it.
"You are now the Kings and Queens of Neverland." She said simply. "Now that you have discovered who you are, you will take the place of your parents." Everyone gasped.
"There must be some kind of mistake…" Dania said. "Why can't our parents rule?" The creature sighed.
"Because they disappeared years ago. If they were here, they could rule." She said. Clarion then got an idea.
"Wait…so because our parents are not here, we have to rule instead of them?" Clarion asked, confirming the information that she had just received.
"Finally a smart one!" The creature exclaimed sarcastically. Clarion rolled her eyes.
"If we all disappeared years ago and were found in different areas, then maybe the same thing happened to our parents!" Clarion said excitedly. Everyone nodded as the creature pondered over the idea. "You can't ask us to leave our homes. I've grown up here, I wouldn't leave for the world."
"We all have families and friends." James said. "I couldn't possibly leave my children and wife."
"Same here, I have a baby to look after." Dania said. The creature thought.
"Nobody knows where your parents are." The creature defended. "Unless…"
"Unless what?" Robert asked. "Please, we're all desperate."
"I've read in legends that only the royals of Neverland can unlock the diamond castle." She began.
"How would a diamond castle help us?" James asked, interrupting the creature.
"Well the diamond castle disappeared the date all of you did and your parents." The creature began. "Some say that if you gather the four objects, the diamond castle will appear and the King and Queen will be freed once again rule Neverland."
"What are the four objects?" Dania asked curiously.
"Well there is one object for each child." She said. "For Robert, there's the pearl shaped spirit. For Dania, there's the emerald shaped star. For James, there's the sapphire shaped human and for young Clarion, there's the golden shaped butterfly. If you are able to get all these gems and bring them to the center of Neverland, you'll unlock the diamond castle which may or may not have the King and Queen inside." The sibling looked at each other. Should they try it? It was their only option. None of them wanted to leave their homes and this looked like their best shot.
"Are we going on our own?" Dania asked.
"Since it's a long journey, I'll let you bring your spouses." Everyone smiled and ran to their husband or wife and embraced them, except Clarion.
"But…I'm not married." Clarion said.
"Not married? Well, are you in a relationship?" Clarion nodded. "Well you can bring him, if he wants to come." Clarion walked over to Milori.
"Would you mind? Because it is okay if you don't-" She was cut off when his cold lips met her warm ones in a passionate kiss.
"Of course I don't mind, my love!" Milori exclaimed. "I just got you back and I vowed I would never let you go again." He said as he gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"Very well then." The creature interrupted. "You all will leave as soon as possible. But remember if you don't find the gems, you will be forced to leave your homes and come to the center of Neverland." They all nodded as the creature faded into white dust, leaving them with their thoughts. They turned to one another and began talking about when they should leave. It was a few hours later when Clarion realized something.
"Wait, what about the children?" They all sat in thought. "The housekeepers wouldn't mind watching them, I do think its best they stay here since they have each other."
"Yeah…it's best if they're all together."
The next couple of days were jam-packed with planning. Clarion's siblings had to temporarily go back to their kingdoms to figure out who will rule while they were away and Clarion had to speak to her housekeepers. Clarion and Milori decided that Dewey, Mary and Grace would rule over Pixie Hollow along side the ministers.
"Why would you put me in charge?" Grace asked curiously. Clarion smiled.
"Because my dear, you have a lot of knowledge thanks to you being a miracle. So you could help many situations." Clarion explained. Grace nodded and excused herself. She went to go read some books on Pixie Hollows history. Clarion watched her go and went off to her room, surprisingly Milori was there waiting for her.
"Hello, love." Milori said as she shut the door. He walked over and kissed her cheek. "You okay?" Clarion nodded.
"I'm fine." She said. "It's just, this came so suddenly." She went over and sat on her king-sized bed. Milori followed her actions.
"I know. But at least we get to go together." He said, looking on the bright side of things. "Don't worry." He hugged her. Clarion smiled at him and got up. She went over to her vanity and unclipped her hair, allowing her honey brown locks to tumble softly to her waist. When she turned she saw Milori staring at her. "You're so beautiful." Clarion blushed. Milori walked over and embraced her.
"I don't want to leave." Clarion said, burying her head in his chest to hide her tears. But it was no avail; Milori could feel the warm liquid through his tunic. "I don't want to leave you, or Mary, or my subjects; I don't want to leave my life here." Milori nodded and kissed the top of her head as he rubbed her back soothingly.
"I know, my love." Milori said. "But you won't. If we find the four gems you will be able to stay here. I just got you back and I'm not planning on loosing you. Ever." Clarion nodded and wiped her tears. They both heard a knock on the door. "Come in." Milori called as Clarion wiped her tears. The door opened revealing Alice. She walked in and looked at the couple.
"May I speak to my aunt in private?" Alice said quietly. She was worried the Lord of Winter wouldn't be happy with it.
"Of course." Milori kissed Clarion and whispered in her ear. "I'll be back soon. I love you." With that he walked out the room and left the two alone.
"Is something wrong, Alice?" Clarion asked. Alice noticed her aunt had red puffy eyes and wondered if she had been crying. But she chose to ignore the thought.
"I'm sorry…" She said with tears in her eyes. She tried hard to let them not fall, but she lost the battle as the tears began to flow. Clarion immediately took the teenager in her arms.
"Sorry? Sorry for what dear?" Clarion asked as she led her to sit on the edge of the bed.
"This is all my fault!" She cried. Clarion hugged Alice and allowed her to cry on her shoulder.
"Honey, this isn't you're fault. And would you mind elaborating 'this'?" Clarion asked. She had no idea what this girl was crying about.
"A couple of days ago, when we were watching everyone sledding, I wished something would happen so I could stay here longer. I didn't mean for this to happen though!" She bawled in Clarion's chest.
"This isn't your fault, Alice. This was going to happen anyway." Clarion said. "Please don't blame yourself." Alice nodded as Clarion wiped her tears.
"So you don't blame me?" Alice sniffled. Clarion shook her head side to side. Alice hugged her aunt. "Thank you, Aunt Ree. I love you." Clarion was shocked that Alice had told her that she loved her but hugged her back.
"I love you too, my darling Alice." The two hugged until Alice was called by her mum, Elizabeth, to have something to eat. She left with a smile framed against her black locks.
Clarion and her siblings packed everything they would need. All the girls wore shorts that came up to the mid-thigh, showing their legs and a plain top. The men all wore long trousers with a plain top. They all had packed spare clothes, pixie dust, food, water and other necessary items for their long trip ahead. Clarion had organized with the housekeepers regarding the children and the others found out who would be ruling for them. It wasn't long before the day came that they had to leave. They all met at the Pixie dust center and bid their goodbyes to the children. They travelled in two's one bird for each couple. Robert and Elizabeth led the way, on an adventure none of them knew that if it would be completed or not.
All it takes is one mistake and they had to leave their loved ones and home…forever.
Author's Note: I'm sorry if this isn't any good, but I hope it is fine. I might not post anything for the next few days because I need to figure out how I will write the next few chapters. Oh and I allowed the spouses to come along because I know how much you love Milorian fluff! I wouldn't exclude Milori from the story because I love writing him with Clarion! Thank you to everyone who has reviewed or read this story. You don't know how much it means to me. Please review because I want to know if you are enjoying this story or not.
