Mystics of the Light

Meeting an Old Friend

Valery

Having Reese back felt like a miracle.

As the night sky was turning its usual ocean blue color, I caught Autumn speaking to Malkin. She was on this cliff, on the outskirts of the forest, and she was sitting on a flower. They were both probably taking in the beautiful scenery of the sunset.

"You know," Autumn said, "I always wondered what it was like to go to the brighter side. Our meadow was one of the few that were left behind. The others vanished within the Darkness, but because of Lilac's studies we were able to survive."

"Would you like to bring out the meadows?" Malkin asked, "You've kept the other Pixies in there for some time. We are in an area where the meadow can fit."

Autumn nodded and slowly took out the meadow's dome. 

It looked more like a snow globe than Reese's did. It had all these pretty flowers, spotting the base of the glass sphere, Jessica in the center of the masterpiece, and leaves circling the entire thing slowly. She set it down, and it rolled into the center of the grassy plain. 

And soon, with a bright light, the meadows escaped the dome and into the Spirit World.

A bunch of pixies came out of the grass, and I heard a few gasp with freedom. I wouldn't blame them. They have been in that claustrophobic thing. I hate small spaces, so much. They just... I don't know, they're just nerve racking.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure that I should be getting back to Reese.

Rose

I was looking at the stars and admiring the streaks they made as they flew threw the air. 

I took in a deep breath until this bright light came from the corner of my eye. I looked over, and I saw that the meadow was being released. I smiled, as I saw so many little pixies cheer. Aw, they were so cute, too!

But, all that aside, I still couldn't get over what I saw. The vision, I mean. What the nightmare had shown me was unimaginable. The Life stone, the Darkness Animal, and... realizing my friend, Faux...

You know what, Rose, you need to stay positive.

Just then, a pair of hands went over my eyes. I was confused, but when I tried to take the person's hands off they stuck on like magnetic dust. I sighed.

"Okay," I said, "Lilac, if you're trying to make me look dumb-"

"Who said I was Lilac?" the person's voice said, "I might be Autumn. You don't know."

"Wait," I said, sitting up straight as a statue, "Faux?"

The person took their hands off my eyes, and when I turned around, a male pixie with white hair stood in front of me. I wrapped my arms around him as he laughed. I then felt a small flick on my head. I opened my eyes, and I realized that Faux's wings had become larger.

"Whoa," I said, pulling back, "I didn't know your wings were bigger."

"Hmm?" he said, looking at his white and sharp wings, "Oh, uh... yeah."

He looked both sad but grateful.

"Faux?" I said, "What? Feeling a bit.... faux?"

"Oh Mystics," he said, rolling his eyes, "Just because my name mean unnatural doesn't mean these wings aren't natural!"

"Mmhmm," I mocked.

"Oh my Mystics, Rose."

I laughed as my memory of the vision started to play. The things I had said to the Darkness Animal; they just replayed over and over again, in my head.

 Oh please.

The moment put me in this odd trance.

First you kill my mom. 

Mom didn't get murdered. She was killed in a Darkness storm, trying to save Lilac, Nan, and me.

Then you destroy the meadows of the Spirit World. 

The Darkness did this, yes. I also knew that the meadows was gonna be destroyed.

Then you murder...... Faux.

I got out of the trance, then. I was breathing heavily as Faux looked at me. His face was full of worry and wonder.

"Rose?" his sweet voice said, "You okay? You seem a bit... off."

"I-I-I'm sorry," I stammered, "I'm just thinking about somethings."

"Is it the journey?"

I sighed and nodded. In a way, this journey really did bring a burden on me. I just didn't know how to sort of get rid of it. It was like carrying someone you really care about, but their weight is actually sinking you into the ground.

"You want to talk about it?" he asked.

"Sure," I breathed.

I started from where we began, but I made sure to leave out the part future me said about him dying.

K.C.T: I am so, so, so sorry. I just can't get through with always writing as much as I wish I could. I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to update for four days. I was just so busy and tired that my energy couldn't be enough to make another chapter, for my books. For those of you who don't know, I'm now planning on updating every other day instead of everyday. Anyways, on Saturday I promise you guys that I'll be able to update. Promise. I know I've said this about a million times now, but I'm sorry. There, I said it for the millionth and first time! HA! OOWAY! <3
