Harvest Moon Island of Confusion

The End to the Beginning

The final tower of light spiralled out of Chelsea, cutting in-between the two other, and separating the light from the dark. Suddenly, a large archway appeared before the three, and in that archway, could a gate be seen. "She actually did it...." the Goddess says in amazement. As if she had doubts with what she previously thought.

However; even Yuuki had the same expression. "Chelsea!" Vaughn and Mark scream.

As they ran forth to approach, the Goddess formed a barrier in front of them, preventing them from going any further. "If you both value this dimension, than you will not alter anything by touching her!" she announces, but the men could not just stand back reluctantly.

"How could you do this to her!" Vaughn shouts, his tone more terrifying than Yuuki's. "How could you build her up, just to tear her down when convenient to you!?"

"Because I too.... am selfish"

That was all she had to say regarding the matter. Each man were fuming. When in an instant, did the doors open, and a hand emerge from the slim gap. The Goddess crept back at such a sight. A sight which scared her greatly.

"This should not be happening!" she says. "Those doors should not be opening on their own!"

"Well what is meant to happen?!" question's the Prince. The Goddess just stares at him with eyes that has been painted on wide.

"When the door's open, by Chelsea's given commands only, should it form a portal which sucks back any dark forces within it's destination, being all lands in which you have touch negatively... for as it does so, time freezes, and within only minutes can two wishes be granted at the correct time which is unknown.... or so my world's prophecy states..." explains she. "After two minutes have passed, time will resume whether a wish has been made or not. If not, than in the very last seconds, depending on your history, will a life or death decision be made for you..."

"Then what is happening now!?" he question's.

"I do not know..." she answer's back.

Yuuki couldn't believe what he was being told. The Goddess, whom spent many years creating the ultimate weapon into ridding the world of his father's legacy, knew not how such a thing worked. He hit's his face multiple times with the palm of his hand as the man grunts in annoyance. "The sprites are more bloody useful than she is!"

"Harvest......"

Everyone's attention is placed onto the threat who forced his way into their world. A head filled with hair that if any brighter, would surely out shine Chelsea's glow, and have her seem rather dim. It trailed down his spine to his ankles, and glowed like a flame. He wore clothing woven from material Yuuki has never even laid eye's on.

"Master!" The Goddess yells, stunned.

Yuuki still couldn't believe what his eye's were showing him. "Impossible....." he says, his sentence filled with disbelief. "The Harvest King... is real?"

"You are to return to the high court at once. A problem has arose, and all are needed" he spoke mightily, with a voice that seemed to be awfully majestic. "We have made many errors, and because of our faults, we have allowed these three woman... and even Lord Yuuki, to be punished in result" he claims. "The Kingdom needs you, but when you return... you will do so as a Queen"

"Does this mean the spell shall be lifted....?"

"Correct..." he faintly says as his answer.

............................

"As punishment for your selfish way's, Princess, the elder's of the High Court forbid you to ever experience what it feels like to love other's. You shall live for eternity, not being able to love those whom you hold dear to you, not be able to keep them near"

"B-but Master!" the Princess wails, only to be silenced by her Master's raised hand.

He shakes his head at her crudeness. "You will be made a Goddess who thrives on the life of the land around you" The Harvest King swipes his hand across the air, to form a map in which they both could see. The Goddess, who stood as the Princess at the time, could not help but allow her tears to fall.

The King placed a hand to her cheek, where he caressed the saddened child. When a tear rolled down her cheek, onto his finger, that is when he lifted his touch. That Harvest King held the single tear drop out in front of the map consisting of the human lands, and her eye's enlarged as she saw how it exploded, with tiny water splot's hitting the page with a splat.

"A puddle has formed in all parts which your tear has touched. They have created ponds. You will only ever be able to visit where those ponds rest, but you can only ever love your land, no matter how you pretend..... no matter who enters your life"

"I-I understand...."

.......................

"So I can return to being a Princess!?" she asks, and the King nods in response. Her eye's glistened with glee. Lord Yuuki dropped to his knees, now knowing who truly was at fault. "Yuuki!"

As the Goddess ran towards him, her limiter around her neck disbanded, and her power's finally vanished. She leaped into his arms and he caught her, still completely dazed. "You..."

"I do!" she cries. "I do, and forever will, love you!"

His fringe fell messily over his face, and he pushed her further away. "It's far too late" he growls. "Just look at what have we have done.." him clearly referring to Chelsea, who still stood, completely consumed by an otherworldly light.

The light then grew, soon to devour the entire kingdom. "Lillian!" Ash calls out to her, as the two side farmer's came to, and collapsed due to lack of energy. The only three remaining were the Princess, Lord Yuuki, and our Heroine Chelsea.

They were now in full light. "Chelsea! I am so sorry!" she run's to embrace her, but Chelsea still had the gate open, therefore the human still stood possessed.

"Look at all of this!" Yuuki screams. "I have inflicted much pain onto many people, however; this woman did not deserve this!"

The Princess casts a glance down to her feet, biting her lower lip that inflicted a wince worthy pain. "Make your wish..." Chelsea's voice took over this time, and she repeated- "Qu-quickly.... make your damn wish!" as she stuttered.

The pupil's reduced their size, as the Princess screams- "I wish for you to survive!" Yuuki then turned his head sharply to face her.

"You fool!" he shouts. "Now the final wish shall cancel out that one!"

A moment passed, and in the Lord's final seconds he makes his wish that forever altered this very moment. The light flicker's, causing waves to quickly spread through these vast lands. When finally........ everything was then drawn into a blinding tunnel of light.....
