Wings

[Serenity]

Ch 5 “Training”

“Come on Serenity! Hit me like you mean it!”
“I’m trying!”
We were fighting airborne in hopes that we could get used to the real life like combat. I had been teaching her everything that I could perform and she was progressing well, but she still had a tendency to want to heal me instead of fight me.
“Trin-!”
“Firaga!” Fire erupted all around her and after a few minutes of struggling she began to fall, unable to free herself from the spell.
“Serenity! Come on! Concentrate!” But she continued to fall when I noticed that her wings were limp at her sides and her eyes closed. ‘Serenity what have I done to you? I shouldn’t have pushed you so hard!’
“Hang on!” I had to do something since I was the one who hit her. I dived quickly into the woods and come back up below our training area directly underneath her, braking her fall. When I had her in my arms, I immediately began summoning curaga in hopes of restoring her to full strength.
“Ah…”
“That’s it. Slow deep breaths.”
“What happened?”
“I hit you with one of the four strongest destructive spells. I thought you were ready.”
“I feel like I was just put through a blender.”
“Yeah, I’m sure you do. That spell I hit you with is called Firaga. It’s the most powerful fire spell that is yet to be known.”
“So why did you use it against me? You know I’m not as strong as you yet.”
“I say you progressing and then suddenly stop. You are really ready for to learn these stronger attacks. Look, you place your hands like this and move like so.” I drew a circle divided into thirds by triangles, and then thrusted my arms quickly out in front of me. At the same time I shouted Firaga and the tree directly in front of me burst in to flame.
Then, an instant later I drew a box inside a circle and in the same fluid movement as before I called out blizzaga. Just as quickly as the blaze begun it ended and left the tree blackened and bare.
“Each symbol represents its own specific element. Wateraga is represented by a circle with what appears to be a tear drop in it, Thundaga is a circle that is divided in half by a single jagged line that represents lightening…”
Little did I know that she knew the spells that I did not. She knew the element of wind.

I knew many more spells than he could ever imagine, ones that had lain dormant in me for ages. I knew the four elements; fire, water, lightening, and blizzard already. I also knew the elements of light, dark and the wind. The only things he really taught me were curaga and thundaga. Yet, my mother was a much more powerful mage and taught me the super and eternal elemental powers of each of them.
My mother always practiced with me when I had turned 13 years old and had grown into my magic. She taught me spells of healing and protection, spells of the light. The only spells of darkness that I knew were Dark Void which sent you attacker into a void for a short amount of time, giving the caster just enough time to get away. I have yet to use this spell for it will only work against those that also use magic, and I pray I never do have to use it.
“Shall we continue?” asked Trin which brought me back to reality that I was still laying in his arms.
“Huh? Yeah.”
“Alright, let’s do this. Remember the signs.”
“Okay, I’m ready.” I drew Firaga’s sign so quickly and with with nessary steps included that Trin had no time to react. He instantly was engulfed in flames. After they had dissipated, he remained there in the air holding his right arm and heavily burned. I will never forget the yell in pain as much as surprise when the spell had hit him. Now looking in those eyes I saw a hidden strength an glowing pride.
“You’ve been holding out on me. I wonder what else you’ve been hiding from me.” He said with a small smile.
“You, Trin will never experience my full potential. Yet, you will see it at work the next time we meet my family’s capturers.”
“I just hope you know what you realize what you are doing and are capable of controlling your anger and strength.”
“I’ll do my best.”

Ch 6 “Serenity’s Surprise”

“Come on Trin. There is something I need to show you.”
To tell the truth I was frightened to show Trin my true powers, for I feared it would drive him away.
“Serenity, look out!”
I remember Trin calling out to me, but then this sharp pitched sound went past my left ear. There was no time for a sensible defense. Nor did that even cross my mind. The only things that I was aware of were the trees and my wings.
‘Fly! Fly! Don’t get caught! Whatever you do, don’t get caught!’ I continued to hear the high-pitched sound zooming past me so all I did was fly harder. Then, there was Trin. His arms out stretched, strong and warm. Before I could stop I slammed right into him. His strong arms wrapped around me to stop me but the force with which I hit propelled us backward into the trunk of a giant oak tree, knocking the wind out of him and caused us to fall into the soft forest ferns below.
“Are you alright?” He asked so softly that I was touched and tears began to form in my eyes.
“Why did you do that Trin? Why did you stop me like that if you knew that it would cause you to be injured?”
He did not answer me, but was focused on something in the tree behind me. Then in one swift movement he was up and covering me. That was when it noticed the arrow in is wing.
“Get out of the way Trin, you fool. What do you think you are doing? Bring a human into our forest. It must parish. It can not be allowed to escape and go free to tell of our secrets.” I had not realized that I had hidden my wings. Looking to the trees I saw a tall fairy with the forest green wings of a warrior. He had long straight brown hair, fair skin, and deep sapphire eyes that shinned with a resilience of their own. Carefully I rose behind Trin. I stepped closer to him and gently reached up to were the arrow was protruding through the back of his soft leathery wings and snapped off the tip about an inch from the wound. Ignoring his protests and the looks from the stranger above I reached around him and removed the rest of the arrow. A small stream of blood began to flow from the hole it had created. I then touched his back and drew the sign for curaga. With the golden light shinning around me I allowed the spell to flow into him. He accepted it and his breathing became stronger and slowly the burns form my firaga and the arrow wound from the stranger above healed. With his forest green wings spread wide like a shield, he looked at the new fairy that shared the same honor as a warrior.
“As you see, she is no human.” With that I looked into the fairy’s eyes and allowed my wings to be revealed.
“The chosen one!”
“Yes she is.”
“You realize that as guardians we were to kill her as soon as she was found. So now she must die! Now get out of the way! I will destroy her whether I have to go through you first or not!” He quickly drew his bow and was ready to free his arrow.
“True. But there is something you still don’t know about her Tye.” He had not even moved a muscle. Showing no fear, and with my hand still on his back could not even feel his heart race. “You see Tye, she is also Queen Tranquility’s daughter. You are looking at your Princess Serenity. To kill her would be to commit treason.”
“No one would care if I killed her because she is the chosen one!” Then he let the arrow fly.
“No! I won’t let you kill her!” In one swift movement Trin moved slightly to the right to fully protect me. Even though it was unnecessary. I leapt into the air and released my shielding charm. The arrow connected and sparks flew as it rebounded away.
“Forgive me Trin! Far well Tye!” In a single fluid movement I unleashed one of my most powerful spells. “Eternal Inferno!” Though the fight ended there, I was unaware.

“Serenity, wake up. Please, wake up?” It was like a dream. It all happened so quickly. She acted on pure instinct. I had known that she had a shield charm prepared because of her hand on my back. Yet, I had been unaware of what she was planning to do or the magnitude of her power that she held. Tye was gone and all that was left in his place was a black pile of ash.
“Serenity, wake up.” I shook her again, but she would not wake. I had to find a place to hide, a place where we would not be found again until we were ready. I noticed her wings had changed colors. They had gone from their usual dark blue to a pale sky blue. I figured it was because of her using all her strength.
I picked her up and flew back to the Temple of Lost Souls where none came or ever would. There I placed her in her upper room. She had decorated it into a sight that would bewilder any eye that set upon it. The walls were a magnificent white and the window dressings fell from the tall banister window to the floor in a waterfall of gold. Here on the seat of the window she placed here bed, a good full size in the human world. It was now night and a spectacular view could be seen.
The sky was like smooth black glass with millions of diamonds scattered about its surface. The moon shown with an inner brilliance of it own and a soft glow fell smoothly upon the trees giving them a mysteriousness that was beyond the wildest imagination. It was magical.
I gently placed a chair by the edge of her bed and sat patiently waiting. Slowly, in the gentle calm of the night, sleep over took me.

“Serenity…”
‘Mama?’
“Serenity…”
‘Mama? Is that you?’
“Ah my dear Serenity why do you cry so?”
‘Mama, where are you? I want to come home.’
“Hush my dear. It is not time yet. You are not strong enough to fulfill the mission that you have been destined to take.”
‘What about Trin? He’ll help me.’
“That may be true, but only you can fulfill your destiny. You may find help along the way, but in the end your destiny is still yours to complete.”
‘I know Mama, but I’m scared.’
“No harm will come to you my dear. Be still now and rest. You’ll need your strength.”
‘Yes Mama.’
“That’s my girl, and be more careful with your spells. Don’t over work yourself; it’s not safe anymore. Your father searches day and night for you and he will not stop till he finds you. Keep watch. Get strong, master your spells, and when it is time, I will see you again. I love you my dear.”
‘I love you too, Mama.’

“Mamma…”
I was awakened by Serenity’s gentle call for her mother. It is a terrible feeling to wish you could be with someone and it just isn’t possible. All this girl really wants to do is save her family. But who is this father of hers that would turn his back on his own people and betray his own family so?
“Freedom No!”
I quickly leapt to my feet and felt her hand. It was cold and clammy.
“Serenity! Serenity wake up!” She was thrashing around in her bed and there was no way of controlling her. That’s when I noticed blood on her shoulder. ‘What is this?’
“Curaga!” There was nothing more that I could do. The spell had calmed her and caused the blooding to stop, but the cause of it in the first place was still a mystery to me. Then suddenly she opened her eyes and clung to the front of my tunic. Tears flooded her eyes and fell down her soft fair cheeks, rosy from her fever.
“Trin! His gone! They killed him! They shot him Trin! And—“
“Serenity! Snap out of it! It was only a dream. It’s okay, calm down. Your alright.” With her trembling in my arms I felt powerless to sooth the fears that ran so deep in her heart.
“Shh… it’s alright now. I got you.”
“Don’t let me go Trin. Don’t let go. Please…”
“Okay, I won’t let go.” Gently rocking her she slowly began to calm and breath deeply again. She was hot with fever and her wound still remained a mystery to me. Where had it come from?

“Trin…”
‘Who are you?’
“Take care of her.”
‘I will but that doesn’t make me understand who you are or why you have cast a sleeping spell on me.’
“Impressive. You noticed. You will be a very wise and noble guardian. Serve her well.”
‘My Queen?’
“I have not been Queen for a long time Trin and never will be again. You know this.”
‘My Queen why do you not just flee from the cell in which you are in, and come home to your people?’
“I no longer belong there and you know this too Trin. My time there has long since come to an end. I will never sit upon the thrown again. How much did you share with Serenity about what you know?”
‘Just enough to give her the history of this place, I did not tell her all, but if what you say is true than…’
“Yes, ‘The chosen one will deliver back to us our rightful Queen and peace again will be once again restored.’ I will not be returning, but you Trin hold the future in your arms. Don’t let her fall, for if she falls the world, as we know it will cease to exist.”
‘You have my word. I will do my best to protect her, and I will give my life to save her.’
“That is not your duty to perform. That is a destiny for another.”
‘You don’t mean—‘
“The time has come to say good-bye.”
‘No, wait you have to answer my question. Who is it?’
“I will not tell you, for it will burden you more. Your fear and love for my daughter is enough to allow destiny to take its course. Do not fret about what is to come for it is meant to be. Good-bye Trin. Be kind to her, but push her to the fullest. She will be able to handle it.”
‘I will. Be well my Queen.’
“Farwell.”
