The Olympias Romance

The Child of Onkalo

Few can enter the place, and those things which get near; will burn to ashes in mere seconds.
Those who have been able to look into the area in question, have all said the same; there is a small boy within.
Thinking that the boy needs help, Olympias and Abigail have both gone to the dangerous place.
" Sis, how are we going to get near? " asked Abigail.
" We won't, not at first. First; we see the area for ourselves " said Olympias, as she was flying in the air.
Olympias now stopped, as she and Abigail were above the area.
" What do we do now? " asked Abigail.
Olympias plucked one of her feathers, she then let that feather fall.
The feather turned into ash within seconds.
" It looks like we can not get any closer... " said Olympias with a nervous-smile.
" Sister, look! " exclaimed Abigail.
The entire area was now being covered with snow and ice. Both sisters could feel the cold breeze.
" What just happened? " said Olympias, confused.
Abigail plucked one of Olympias' feathers.
" Aw! " exclaimed Olympias.
" It did not hurt the first time? " said Abigail, confused.
" It did. I just did not say anything because I knew that the pain was coming "
" Oh "
Abigail now let the feather fall, and the feather kept on falling till it landed safely on the ground.
The two sisters smiled, and Olympias now flew down to the ground, where she landed seconds later.
" It's cold... " said Abigail, as she hugged her sister tightly.
Olympias was covering herself and Abigail with her wings.
The entire area looked like a Scandinavian wonderland.
Olympias and Abigail could both now hear snow being crushed.
The two of them turned around; and there stood a small, innocent boy.
" Hello " said the boy.
" Hi " said Abigail.
" Hello " said Olympias, confused; " who are you? "
" My name is Onkalo "
Abigail now noticed the pale look on her sister.
" Sis, what is wrong? " said Abigail, but Olympias did not answer her, she instead asked the boy;
" You would not happen to be named after the place you live in? "
The boy simply nodded.
" Oh no... " uttered Olympias.
" What is the matter? " asked Abigail.
" We are standing in an area filled with nuclear waste... "
" All the nuclear waste is gone " said Onkalo, innocently.
A surprised and relieved look could now be seen on Olympias' face.
" Wait... " said Olympias; " where did it all go? "
Olympias now noticed the glowing eyes of Onkalo.
" You... " Olympias uttered; " do you embody all the nuclear waste? Are you all the nuclear waste? "
Onkalo simply nodded to both questions.
" How?! " exclaimed Olympias, amazed and confused.
With a smile, Onkalo said;
" You would not believe me if I told you "
A new voice could now be heard;
" Onkalo, are these your friends? "
Olympias and Abigail both now beheld an angel descending from the heavens.
" Damn... " uttered Olympias, as she started to question things.
" An angel " said Abigail with childlike awe.
As you guys have guessed; the angel was very pretty.
The angel was known as; The Winter Angel.
And she introduced herself, as; Maria Feodorovna.
And if you guys are wondering about the wings? Well, Maria has become an Alkonost, and she explained all this to both Olympias and Abigail; both of whom could not stop staring at the breathtaking wings.
Olympias finally asked;
" Are you the one who watches over Onkalo? "
" I am " said Maria with a gentle and smooth voice; " he had no one when he came into existence, so I decided to watch over him "
Onkalo could be seen hugging Maria's leg.
" What about all the heat from before? " asked Olympias.
" Onkalo's body emits heat that can rival that of the sun itself. But, sadly, he can not control it. So I help by cooling down the entire area and his body with my cold " answered Maria.
" I see "
All Olympias could see afterwards was snow, for everyone was having a fun snowball fight.
