*Elsewhere*
Maya was sitting in the center of the hedge maze outside. She sat alone in the night, the only sound being the water dripping from the fountain. "What's a beautiful being like you doing here all alone?" Maya heard a disembodied voice say. "Wha.. Where are you. Who are you?" Maya demanded. "A person like you is in no place to make demands… but I'll obey." The voice said. A humanoid shape stepped out of the shadows. A menacing smile of sharp teeth and one large orange eye bore down on Maya. "What are you?" Maya asked. "I'm under direct command… to not say." The woman walked over and sat down next to Maya. "Tell me Maya. Why are you sitting here all alone? The fake appearance of Maya broke and her true shape was exposed. "How do you know my name?" Maya asked. "I know many things." The woman said. "I don't know." Maya said. "Now I know that's a lie. This is about the boy isn't it?" The woman asked. "How do you…"
Maya started but was cut off by "I said I know many things. Tell me what's wrong." "I don't know what's wrong. I just feel a mixture of emotions." Maya went on for a while talking to the strange woman. "That's only natural to feel that way… Tell me Maya. What do you think of when you think of love?" The woman asked. "Well. Blissful happiness. Where two people are connected so perfectly if forms a bond that could outlast anything." Maya said. "Now look at me. What do you think when you see me?" The woman asked. "I see an all seeing eye. An evil smile. A strange appearance. It makes me not know whether or not I can trust you." Maya said.
"That's what love is. You can see it everywhere. It can see all. Sometimes it can have an evil look in the form of a strange appearance. Sometimes you don't know whether or not the lover you feel for someone is something you can trust or not." The woman said. "How… How can you speak those words with such confidence?" Maya asked. "Because I know love." The woman said. "How can someone truly know love?" Maya asked. "Because I have felt the feelings of true love from billions upon billions upon billions of people and more." The woman said.
Maya thought to herself so a time before saying. "But the only way one person could feel all of that is…." Maya's eyes grew wide. "At your service." The woman said. "But. But." Maya said. "Why am I here? Well many things. Some your mind wouldn't understand. I've come bearing information." The woman said her smile growing even more. Tentacles slithered around Maya's leg and up around her arms. "Things that'll interest you… Melody… Misaloga." The woman said as a tentacle came up and touched Maya on the forehead. Colors flashed in Mayas eyes and her previous life and countless before that were shown to her.
She fell to the ground coughing before it was like someone entirely different spoke with Maya's body. "Goddamnit Nadalia! Leave me be!" Melody demanded. "I can't simply let you waste away." Nadalia said. "I wish to wash away with time! I remain unable to do that as you keep finding and resetting me!" Melody demanded. "Sister please! I can't just let you be. I just can't!" Nadalia said. "Sister, We've been having this disagreement for eons! Let! Me! Die!" Melody yelled out. "Sister please…" Nadalia started to say but was cut off by Melody hitting her hard. "If you truly loved me you would let me wash away!" Melody said. Nadalia couldn't speak after that, the feeling of guilt and selfishness overwhelmed her. "Is that truly what you want?" Nadalia asked, her voice brittle. "Sister it's what I've wanted for years!" Melody said.
Nadalia swallowed her pride and told her to hold still. Nadalia walked over to Melody. She held her face and began to cry. Nadalia cast a spell that separated Melody and Maya. Maya was now laying on the bench asleep. Melody stood there, waiting. She wore her age old blue dress. Her short light blue hair and orange eyes. Her sculpted face facing Nadalia. Nadalia walked over and held her actual face this time. She started to bawl. "Sis… sister… I love you." Nadalia said as she gave her sister a deep hug. Melody hugged her back "I love you too. Tell everyone else goodbye. Thank… you… Nada…li..a" Melody said as started her flesh and bone fell apart into a crystal blue dust.
Nadalia cried as her sister began to disappear and become ripped from time itself, forever never to return. She pulled back and looked at her sister's face. Melody actually smiled to Nadalia. Nadalia began to slowly smile as well but was stopped as a crack violently and instantly formed on her sisters face from the right side of her chin to the left side of her forehead. Melody shattered like glass and fell to the ground. Nadalia went back to the hug. There was nothing to hold Nadalia up against and she fell hard into the pile of dust, clenching the dress. "Sis… sister... MELODY!" Nadalia cried into the dress. Her tears were stopped as she felt a soft hand on her hair. She looked up and a barely see through version of Melody standing there. She was made of light blue fog. Nadalia was about to stand up but the spirit of Melody rose slowly into the sky angelically. She reached high into the sky and dissipated and scattered.
Nadalia cried even more into the dress and was now curled up holding it. She cried more and more until a black fog started to from underneath her. She didn't move and continued to cry, shattered over the fact her sister was gone forever. The black fog slowly enveloped her and she was swept away to some unknown place.
