&*&*&*&*&*ENDYMION (not POV, just his part)*&*&*&*&*&*
Endymion flew over the towns in search of King Orion's palace.
*Flashback*
"I want you to strike the Princess's heart when she is in sight of an
ugly beast." his mother told him while preparing to visit his father,
Andrew, the son of the God of Hephestus.
"Yes mother. I will leave right away." With that Endymion flew off.
*End Flashback*
"Ah, there is the palace, the princess's demise will be soon. I have
the strangest feeling that I'm going to regret doing this though."
Endymion looked at the palace longingly, searchingly, as if looking for
some lost memory.
He saw her in the rose garden, weeping, through her tears he saw the
most beautiful woman ever. Her skin was a buttermilk colour and
certainly looked just as smooth. Her hair shone just like gold and
her eyes, oh her eyes were just like two deep blue oceans. The most
precious oceans that Poseidon had in his keep. "So this is Serenity?"
He spotted an old horse that had been let loose to graze near the
garden.
Endymion thought that he would laugh, "Indeed she does have a slight
resemblence to mother, but her beauty even surpasses mother's. And as
luck would have it here is an ugly beast now." He didn't care whether
his mother would have gotten angry at such a blasphemy to her name, by
her own son to say the least! Endymion did not want to marr such
beauty, but he had his own duty to fulfill.
"Here goes nothing" He brought the peeshooter to his lips......
*Flashback*
"You shall shoot her with one of these." His mother presented him with
a peeshooter! What was this! He was not a little boy anymore, he had
the best shot in all of Olympus, why did he have to use such a crude
toy?
"My son, I know what you must be thinking, but since you have such a
good aim, you will be sure to hit her with this, besides the bows and
arrows will have to be refitted to you, you cannot use such small
tools anymore." Endymion merely nodded and sighed, what would people
think when they learn that the new God of Love had to use such piddly
instruments? He had to use it to do his job though.
*End Flashback*
Endymion let the rock zoom across the garden, he looked heavenward and
prayed to Lady Luck that it would hit her. Just at the moment as he
knew that the rock must have left it's mark on her he gazed at her,
trying to let her face be imprinted in his mind forever. At that
moment he let his guard down and forgot to keep his invisible shield
up (makin this up as I go along) and the princess gazed at him.
Serenity had a strange look on her eyes and suddenly fainted. A
question stuck in Endymion's mind was, had she seen him and fallen in
love? The love spell must have effected her by then.
He knew that what he had done was even more worst than what his uncle
had done, he had truly fallen in love with a mortal. He gently lifted
her up and brought her to his own home in the lone forest. What was
the use now if she had fallen in love with him? At least this way
his mother would be pleased, the mortal men would never see Serenity
again, his mother's temples and shrines would once again be filled.
&*&*&*&*&*&*&* SERENITY (not POV, just her part) &*&*&*&*&*&*&*
When she awoke she was in a very soft bed. She looked all around her,
all she could tell by looking out the window was that she was very
high up, in a castle, she guessed.
"It must be morning" she said as she gazed at the sun, while Apollo
was beginning to pull it with his chariot of gold. It was strange,
never before had she seen the God of the Sun pull his chariot until
now. Serenity was awed by the wonder. "I wonder what happened?" All
she could remember was being in the rose garden waiting for a message
from her father to tell her when she was to be presented to the winged
creature. The next thing she knew she saw an angel, the handsomest
angel she had ever seen, surely he couldn't have been the winged
creature her father had mentioned.....the soothsayers would have
known. The winged creature, an angel? Or was it another creature?
"Does that mean that I'm dead?" she asked to no one in particular.
Although she couldn't see anyone she heard a voice say,
"No, your not dead at all. Quite the opposite really." She heard a
lilting voice say. Serenity looked all around the huge bedroom, no
one was in sight.
"Who's there? Who are you? Where are you?" She demanded. She heard
a few giggles, then the same lilting voice spoke once more.
"I am here as your, I guess, tour guide. Your husband asked me here,
as a favour." Serenity listened carefully then started making choking
noises. "Princess Serenity, are you sick? What's wrong?" She felt a
slight pressure on her shoulder, like a hand.
"I'm fine, but you said 'husband' I don't recall getting married to
anyone. In fact, I don't remember even coming here. Where is here
anyway?" Serenity was confused, what was happening to her?
***MADE UP WEDDING CEREMONY ALERT***
"Yes, your husband, brought you over the threshold and showered you
in the sacred rose's petals. So, offically you are married. As for
how you got here, you flew here. And here is here, that's all you
need to know for now." Serenity felt the pressure come of her back,
and she heard footsteps heading towards the closet. She heard the
footsteps coming closer, when she saw what the figure was holding she
gasped. It was her dress! She looked down at what she was wearing,
it was a silk nightgown, that could have been a dress in itself.
Everything about her dress was more profound. The colours seemed
richer, more vibrant and the bow at the back was larger, and seemed
to swirl. As the fabric swayed instead of plain white, the dress
shone lightly with the colours of the rainbow, it also smelled strongly
of roses
"Here is your dress, it has slightly been altered, to fit your station
here. Do not hesitate to ask me or the other servants for anything
you may want." Serenity was perplexed by the beauty of the dress,
it was even more splendid than before, never had she seen the like.
"But I don't know where you are, let alone the others, how can I find
you. I'm sorry if I seem to be rambling, but this is all so new for
me. Can it be you are a ghost as are the others? Perhaps
my... ... ... husband is an angel, for he must have been the angel I
saw in the garden. Or is he the winged creature?" The voice giggled
again.
"The servants will be wearing bells and charms, so that you can hear
them from now on, and I shall be wearing a blue scarf around my neck,
so you know where I am. An angel? Your husband? I've known him since
we were kids, he isn't exactly an angel....but he does have wings."
Serenity considered this, 'he must be a monster, he has to be, she
said so.' To the invisible person she said,
"But you still haven't answered the question about...my husband, and
you still have as of yet to tell me your name for you seem to know
everything about me. And how can you be invisible? Are you a ghost?"
"Fair is fair, but I can not tell you about your husband, it is for
him to decide when and what he tells you. For now, you can call me
Merc. This is what you mortals say supernatural, but not to us, it
is normal everyday life. Ghosts? Our lives would be much easier if
we were you could say."
"Merc? Well, strange name, but after all this, it is less exotic
than I thought. Is it short for something then?" Serenity didn't
know what to say to what Merc said abut supernatural, so didn't bother
to talk about it again.
"You shall see Princess, in due time." Serenity pouted, but as
'Merc' seemed to be nice she smiled and stuck out her hand.
"You can just call me Serenity, no need for formalities." She felt
a pressure on her hand, and felt it being taken by an invisible force.
"I will leave you to get ready for breakfast, you must be starving."
Serenity nodded as she heard the footfalls go towards the door, and
Merc closed the door after she her.
"I just wish I could find some answers....this is all just too
different, I doubt I'll ever get the hang of this. A husband?
Invisible servants and an invisible, potential, friend? Whatever
happened to the simple night in shining armor and friends that you
can see?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Little Stop Over Here
This next part will be called Part 2b, even though this is in the
same section. Rest a bit; I have to, it's supposed to be
Chibi-Anon's bedtime... -_-zzZZZ.....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&
What?! WHAT! I'm awake already, o.k., I'll start the story
again.... *stretches* *flexes fingers, and starts typing again.*
&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&
Days went by and Serenity felt as if she were in a dream. She and
Merc had become fast friends, they'd always talk about certain
philosophies and news, 'Merc' even admitted that she had never had
this much fun in a long time. They played jokes on each other and
talked about many things. It was fun for both of them. But when it
came to Serenity's questions about her 'husband' or Merc herself,
there would be no answer to the question, next, hesitiation, then a
simple,
"In due time......" Serenity would frown, then change the subject
so that the silence wouldn't be there.
"Will I ever see what you look like? Or even what the others look
like?"
Merc sighed, "To tell you the truth I don't know, it all depends,"
and before Serenity could ask, "depends on what?" Merc told her,
"it depends on what happens, involving you. I can not say anymore."
The princess was sullen, when would she ever get straight answers?
"Merc, it's been three days, why haven't I seen my husband? He's the
one who brought me here and married me, why does he not show? I want
to see him."
"He has been here, during the night, watching over you. He will
present himself to you tonight." Merc said quietly.
~Later that night~
Serenity got ready for bed, leaving the candle lit so that she could
have a good look at her 'husband' when he came in, not to mention
that she wanted him to see just how mad she was about being taken away
and carried off to some strange place, without knowing what was
happening. 'You can't just carry someone off and marry them while
they've fainted.' she thought as she fell asleep.
There was a rustling in the bed, someone had come down to sleep next
to her. She was about to reach for the flint to light the candle
when a voice spoke up.
"My dear Princess Serenity, do not light the candle. All you need to
know now is that I am your husband, and that I am here." Serenity
could not see the figure, even with the moonlight streaming through
the window she could not see her husband's face. "For tonight, let
us just talk."
His voice was rich and smooth, it sent tingles all over her body just
hearing it. She still felt uncomfortable in his comfortable presence
(Make sense to you? 'cause it doesn't to me...-_-*)
"What should we talk about first?" Serenity asked cautiously.
"Well, how about your day? Was Merc kind to you?"
"She was very nice to me, and we both agreed that we're friends."
Endymion nodded, "Merc is one of the kindest people I know."
Serenity had to agree, then she remembered her unanswered questions,
the suddeness of her being taken away, and marriage; just when she
felt like opening up to her 'husband' her face burned red with anger.
What was he trying to do to her? She hated him, he brought her here
to suffer, she knew she would never see her father and family again
thanks to him. Within all the turmoil in her emotions was something
more seeringly painful, it was something new to Serenity, she had
never felt that way before, not with anyone. This feeling had come
to her all so quickly, and only with a few hours time with HIM....
"What's wrong? Your face is beet red, and I can sense that something
is troubling you." She looked away from his voice. "Don't be afraid
of me, look at me, don't turn away." Serenity was stunned, how did he
know or see what she felt, what she did. 'It's pitch black, how can
he know that I turned away? How does he know what I'm feeling?"
"When will I get the answers to my questions?" Endymion hesistated,
just as Merc had, "In due time."
Serenity's anger rose, "that's all I ever hear, 'In due time'."
That's all I can tell you. There are several things that must happen
first." Serenity started to cry, she didn't care whether or not HE
laughed at her for crying at her age. To her suprise he didn't laugh,
instead he put his arms around her and brought her closer to him. She
placed her head on his shoulder and cried for all she was worth.
Serenity could feel something enclose around them, whatever it was,
it was soft, softer than clouds it seemed; warm, comfortably warm;
and smooth, smoother thans silk. It was then that she realized that
her husband had wings, altough he could have been a monster she
didn't care, she felt safe for now. She just couldn't help crying.
As he loosened his hold on her, she realized that she had thouroughly
soaked the upper half of his toga (he he he, picture mamo-chan wearing
a toga!!!!!! no shirt this time....)
Serenity spent the whole night in his arms, not caring what he looked
like because now she knew that she loved him, and that he was safe to
be with. She woke up alone in the morning however, she looked around
the room, no one.
All their time together was like this, (minus the crying)he would
come to her in the night, and slowly both of them fell deeper in
love (can you get any more in love than when they began?) Serenity
didn't mind, she loved him, and was sure that he loved her back.
The only thing that was bothering her was what he looked like,
hideous, or the handsome angel that she saw? Would she change her mind
if he was a monster?
&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&
