Unknown Requiem

025

After days of recovering Persephone was finally on her feet and as active as ever. And in recent days it had appeared to her that even Empress Lucia had begun to open up to her. The "Immortal Queen" was kind to her and even invited Persephone to her chambers a few times for a nice quiet dinner. Slowly,Persephone was beginning to belong in the new world of hers. And she liked it. And as she and Express Lucia became closer as did Castiel and Persephone. Especially when the two would have their training days. To his mother this training was required in order to hopefully increase Castiel's geass power;it was requested of Preserving to train him. Both physically and mentally. Which also included wielding the unique blade that Persephone seemed to always carry on her person. Today was one of those many training days. The two made their way to the garden which was littered in thousands of blooming multicolored flowers. Flowers that only seemed to increase the beauty of the already lovely garden. Persephone dressed in an almost all white jumpsuit with black putter lining,pulled her long raven hair in a high pony tail.

She stood before Prince Castiel who couldn't seem to take his eyes off of her radiant beauty. Persephone noticed his wandering gaze and shyly fixed the skin tight suit all the while mumbling. Asking what he was indeed looking at. Prince Castiel with both his eyes on the breathtaking Persephone smiled before answering her. "You. Your....your so beautiful."He answered truthfully as immediately Persephone's fave turned as bright as a tomato as she began to struggle with a response. What could she say to that? To such a sincere compliment? Wiping the blush from her face Persephone pulled the hilt of the blade from her person.

Closing her eyes briefly before bidding them open,as the geass symbol seemed to almost swim around in her azure pupils. "Flattery will get you nowhere in combat."Persephone commented causing Castiel to chuckle before noticing the shimmering translucent blade which began to materialize at the hilt. Ever so slowly the blade increased in length until it was long enough to be considered a sword. Yet it was a small sword more of a rspier. It was dainty and easy to use. Which was perfect for today's training session. "Can't blame me for trying." Castiel said with a smile before drawing his blade from its sheathe.

Persephone shook her head ever so slightly at his words,before shifting her footing abit. Revealing how just the mere change of footing could change the turn of a battle. "I want you to spar against me with everything you've got. But at the sometime you must force me to cancel my geass. My geass is what gives the blade it's power. Once it's canceled it will be nothing but a piece of metal." She informed the observant prince who nodded at her words before gripping his blade with two hands. And positioned the blade across his body slanted in the common Japanese fashion.

It was obvious he was taught by a skilled Japanese teacher. One that taught him never to reveal any openings. And as of now,Persephone saw none. Not skipping a beat Persephone charged towards Castiel, their blades clashing with one another sending multi colored sparks in the air. Persephone used all her strength to push Castiel back all the while he tried his best to avoid her dangerous azure gaze. "Don't retreat your gaze from me!" Persephone ordered her voice filled with determination and power.

Hearing the sudden change in her voice,Castiel peered into her beautiful azure feeling himself drawn into them. A smirk appeared on her lips as she swept her right foot under Castiel. Forcing himself to fall on his back with a loud thud. Castiel grunted in pain before feeling the sharp end of Persephone's blade pressed against his neck. "Are you taking it easy on me?"Persephone asked in annoyance as Castiel swallowed hard before changing positions. Pinning Persephone underneath him to her surprise. She stared towards Castiel in shock as he used his freehand to pry the blade from her hand.

He then ever so gently pressed it against her neck to ensure he did not harm her. "Maybe alittle." He answered truthfully as Persephone sighed at his words"Well don't. I hate that."Persephone spat in an almost irritated manner causing Castiel to sigh in relief. "I'm sorry,I'll make it up to you. By showing you...."Castiel began before opening his right eye revealing it's translucent amber hue which held the geass symbol within it. "What I am capable of."Castiel breathed as his power of persuasion reached even Persephone. She gasped as she felt her body becoming numb.

Along with every single one of her senses. Before she realized it she found herself floating in her own subconscious. Which consisted of what appeared to be water. Whenever and wherever she moved bubbles seemed to follow her. Quietly she peered around her realizing she wasn't completely alone. About a good mile away from her was Castiel. Yet strangely we was nude and so was Persephone. Yet his entire body gave off a dim white hue. Almost florescent. While Persephone herself was not only one color but two. Her entire body was split in half. Half a feathery white and the other half a bloody crimson.

From what C2 had told them,the colors represented aspects of their souls. White meaning purity,good intentions and overall love. While red represented conflict,anger and overall likeliness to harm others. Castiel couldn't help but to wonder why Persephone had multiple hues. But for the moment he chose to ignore it and swam to her. She hestiesntly swam away from him. Afraid he would unveil everything about her. Things she chose to forget. And things she herself did not know. "S-stay back!"She called out,extending her hands infront of her. Hoping to keep Castiel away from her.

But it merely gave him an incentive. Castiel reached for Persephone,gripping onto her wrist ever so gently before tugging her to his chest. "I'm not afraid to see who you are. The real you. And you shouldn't either."Castiel whispered to her hoping to soothe the heart he knew for sure was fractured by pain. Persephone peered towards Castiel before gripping onto his chest tightly. "If you knew me. The real me....you would shun me."She whispered as Castiel shook his head before gently caressing her cheek.

"No I wouldn't,even if you were to betray me I could never hate you."Castiel whispered as Persephone remained silent for a moment. Releasing the weight of his words. "That's what I'm afraid of."She whispered before staring into Castiel's geass eye. Immediately become entranced by its golden beauty. Allowing Castiel to unveil her,and take in everything that made her. Her. Persephone leaned backwards into Castiel's arms gasping as the brief glow of geass formed on her forehead. Castiel held onto her petite form before the entire area was overtaken by a white glow blinding the two.

Persephone slowly opened her eyes realizing she was now pinned under Castiel once again. Who stared down towards her smiling down towards her. "Do I pass?" Castiel asked the beautiful creature before him,who reached upwards hugging Castiel tightly. "Yes. You pass."She whispered into his ear,as Castiel too held her closely. 'I just hope it's enough.'She thought to herself.
