Mystics of the Light

Valery's Perspective: Vision, or Reality?

Alright, with all the teasing aside, it was time to move the meadow with us.

Lilac and I went to a river close by and took some water with us, for both the alchemy and for drinking. Apparently, pixie dust is made of mostly water, so to mix it with other types of dust it needs to dissolved with it naturally.

While Lilac's canteen touched the water, it started glowing with her color. The rays of purple reflected off her skin and wings. It made them look like crystals. Hmm.... I wonder.

I touched the water with my hand, and it started becoming an indigo. I guess that if Lilac's hand wasn't in the water, it would be blue. Lilac looked at me and laughed. I looked back at her, confused.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"It's just," she said, "You're so curious about the things around you. You're so weird!"

"Thank you!" I replied.

We both started laughing, and all of a sudden the water started glowing with blinding light. I shielded my eyes, with my hand, and I was in this strange, blank, dimension. Literally, everything was white. The only thing that wasn't plain were me and Lilac.

"W-where are we?" she said, "How did we get here? Wait.... the river was..... it couldn't have been."

"Couldn't have been what?" I asked.

Just then, someone familiar came into view. The person was wearing a white dress, and she was walking into view. Even before her face was revealed, I knew who it was. But.... how was that even possible?!

It was Reese.

But..... she's unconscious. She can't possibly be here! Unless......

"Valery," she said, "Lilac, you do understand that where you will be going to save my daughter..... correct?"

D-daughter? Wait..... was this...... Lilith? Reese's mom?! No way. But.... isn't she.....

"You're probably wondering how am I here, huh?"

Whoa, physic much?

"How are you....? Didn't Reese say that.... How?" Lilac paused.

Lilith sighed, and signaled Lilac and I to follow her. We both did as we were told. When we followed her, a portal then appeared. I looked through the oval shaped object, and what I saw was AWESOME! It was this forest filled with all these colorful lights. The forest was lit with a LOT of sunlight, so the trees were green, and full of life. But what really caught my eye was the girl standing in the center of everything.

Reese.

A little version of her, to be exact.

Lilith vanished off somewhere, and Lilac and I both looked around for her.

"Mommy!" The little Reese said, "Where are the wittle animals! You pwomised there would be some!"

"There will be, Reese," I heard Lilith said, "You just have to be patient, and all of the animals will come."

"O-okay."

"Close your eyes, dear," Lilith said.

Reese closed her eyes, and Lilith came out of the trees with a little baby wolf! IT WAS SO CUTE! It whimpered as she set it down next to Reese. The wolf started sniffing Reese, and it wagged it's tail.

"You can open your eyes now Reese," She said.

When the little Reese opened her eyes, and she gasped and squealed at the little wolf. The wolf stood on its back legs and the front paws on Reese's shirt. It barked, softly, as Reese picked it up. 

"What gender is it?!" Reese squeaked.

"A girl!" Lilith said, happy about her little surprise.

"I'm gonna name you Alex!" Reese said, holding little Alex out, "And we're gonna be best fwends, wight?"

The pup barked in agreement, just as the vision faded back to the river. Lilith was dipping her hand in the water. The water didn't glow. In fact, the water went around her had like there was a void there. She looked up at me and Lilac.

"Did you see where that area was?" She said, "Because that's where you'll find the dust to save Reese. Be sure to call her pup friend too. I'm pretty sure she's old enough to speak."

"Wait!" I shouted, but she faded away before I could do anything else.
