The Omega Princess

Chapter 45: Part 2

t had been a long time since I had entered the Luna Plane but I knew it from the moment I saw it. It was different from the last couple of times I had been here but there was an atmosphere that made it instantly obvious where I was. The environment was different from the last time, but I had now learnt that the Luna Plane was not a solid form.

I was on a beach, overlooking a great glittering ocean which bathed under a giant moon. The Moon was bigger than I had ever seen it before, massive larger than the sun.

I sunk my bare feet into the yellow sand and watched the waves lapping in and out. After a while the hairs on the back of neck had begun to stand, alerting me that someone was watching me. I turned around, shocked to see Kai. He looked just as bewildered as me, as we stared at each other dwelling in confusion I felt the light dimming. Kai's eyes were widening and he was staggering forward his eyes glazed over as he stared past me in awe.

Slowly I turned back to see the moon had disappeared from the sky and instead there was single figure floating above the see exalting almost as much light as the moon had been. She was moving towards us hair flowing behind her, a giant crown spiking from her head like in the mural I'd seen in Meridia.

Once she reached the edge of the water, her bare feet gracefully touched the ground perfectly poised like a fairy. Even in the salted water there were Lunacloves that sprung forth as though that was their natural element. Before she could touch the sand, there was a pulse of light and she was hovering though she was no longer as bright. In fact she looked almost human except from her silver coloured eyes. Now I could see them up close I noted that the colour pulsated moving between white and silver as though she was seeing in more than one dimension.

By the time she had reached us Kai was beside me, his mouth slightly open. His entire body was completely relaxed, a huge weight lifted off of his shoulders. The Goddess regarded us with a face that did not betray, she seemed to be looking for something though I could not be sure whether she found it or not.

There was a slight twitch on her face I didn't know what it meant, but it made me feel uncomfortable, like a blank canvas which had been ruined by a tiny smudge, imperfection on the perfect.

There was a strange sensation in my stomach and I slowly realised we were being lifted, the sand that had caressed our feet was moving further and further away. Yet as we flew higher I realised that our bodies were still on the ground, motionless.

My hair flew around me as we entered the dark night sky, where no man had ever been before and we looked down at the Earth a strange globe of blue and green, our bodies so tiny and insignificant amongst the grand masses of water and land.

The world seemed to spin and it was frightening, it spun so fast I thought that all who inhabited it might be flung off into this strange sky around us. There a warm rush of something as I felt her light flow through me, we were shaped like a triangle the Goddess, Kai and then me.

The Earth slowed down and even from this height I could now see everything, but my eyes were searching desperately for one person.

I found him almost immediately. He was deep underground, past more layers of the Earth than I thought were possible. He lay in a casket of glass, surrounding by fire and there were strange things around him, like a shadows smothering the glass. I reached my hand out.

No

My hand was drawn back and though I could no longer see her, I felt her disapproval and as usual the way in which she spoke had no tongue but rather a sensation, a language with no words. The world spun again and Dale was lost, instead there were lines, silver lines connecting people together usually women and men. They ran all across the globe but somewhere amongst it all was a a single golden line, thicker and stronger than all those before it. The more I analysed it the more I realised it was not actually one line but three, blue, red and yellow all the lines blurring together to make a golden bronze shade.
