The Legend Of Moon

9. The Reflection

Jeka's POV

Everything was black before my eyes, until he called my name. "Jeka Veza, come to me", he said. A voice full of mystery and question-like tones, as if he was not so sure about himself or the vission in front of his eyes. I felt him staring at me, although I couldn't see myself due the blindfold that covered my view. "Jeka Veza, son of the queen of the Land of the Dead and king of life and the living, I hereby call your name." Confussion ran over me, he couldn't be calling me, after all I was no such a person. "Jeka Veza, do not fear. I will do no harm, so listen to my words. I shall set you free, no more worries, no more pain. Trust me, for I am alike. My name is Moon Knight, son of Man in the Moon and Ceto, Greek godess of dangers of the ocean and sea monsters. Do not fear me. I carry no weapon, no such thing as hate." He was silent for a while before he continued, getting my attention. He couldn't be talking to me, right? "I was ordered by your mother, the queen, to set you free. Please do not fear me, I shall do no harm." A hand touched my forehead, making me flinch slightly. "Calm down, young prince", he whispered softly. "I will do no such thing as hate, trust my words and my appearance." The contact calmed me down softly, making me forget all his words. His cold hands, they melted away the heat spread across my skin as he continued talking. 

"I will set you free from this spell, so please allow me to take control of your sins, my young lord." A power started pomping through my vains, a cold sensation followed, as if it was cutting through my cells. It burned. "Please, remain calm", his voice called out again as the feeling got more intense, making me want to scream but he didn't move a single muscle. "I'm letting my power run through your body, Jeka. It might hurt a little since we are not on the same line, but it'll allow me to remove you from the reflection within the mirror." While he spoke, a stronger sense of pain hit me, making me grit my teeth. No mercy was held, even if I was confussed, he continued on with the strange happening.

"This power you feel now, this is named 'the awakening call'. You do not have this call naturally, so I'm starting it for you. The painful feeling that's growing, this is called bonding. It shall leave a wound on the place I'm touching you, to turn into a mark, permanent. Your protector, he will be named to the song playing in your heart, Harvard. Young prince, you are one powerful being."

Moon's POV

I felt his fear deep within the core of his heart as I allowed my power to flow through him, making his protector bond with him throug me. The blindfold that kept him from seeing didn't cover the fright within his vission as the stared rigth through me with eyes closed, letting out a terrible scream as the pain got intense. "You are very strong, young prince", I called out to the reflection of the boy inside the mirror in order to distract him, to bring him some memories before they would be taken away with the bonding. "Jeka Veza, you are incredible. Please, just hang on there. You can trust me, I know what you go through. I shall do no harm. So no need to worry if that's what keeps you busy. Let me do my job and I promise, I'll take care of you." I took a soft breath, knowing both giving power and talking was taking a lot of energy at the same time, making me run low on it. But I had to finish this, after all, he was the young prince of both the living and the dead, and I liked some answers at why he was this important. I knew parents took it very serious when their child died, or when someone of the royal family did. But still it didn't explain why they'd go so far as to lock his soul into a mirror.

"Jeka Veza", I spook to him again, noticing the speaking distracted him clearly. "My name is Moon Knight, son of Man in the Moon and Greek godess Ceto. I shall free you from this spell given you by your mother in order to keep you safe and alive. I will do no harm, you can relay on me. For I am the sixth member of the Magical Knights, knight of emotion." His heartbeat slowed down, back to a relaxing point as the pain slowely faded away. "It will all be over soon, I promise you, so do not fear anymore. Young prince, I shall watch over you." I stopped with giving him power as I knew the bonding was over, making him fall in my arms.

"I've got you", I whispered softly as the boy from the mirror rested in my arms. With the blindfold, the dark clothes and the emotionless emotions running through his vains, I carried him to the couch where I allowed him to rest. A mark covered his forehead, saying that one word taht got me to think. "Do not mind me asking", I whispered towards my now partners, the other members of the Magical Knights, who looked me directly in the eye. "You never told me why you did all this trouble to save him and to keep him. Why is he so important?" Shikaru smilled, coming near me so he wouldn't have to talk too loud, so the one named Jeka Veza wouldn't wake up now he was tired out. "We never told you?", He asked me back. I shook my head softly. He giggled softly near my ears. "What does the mark on his forehead say?" "Echo", I replied and he nodded. "Now, who do you think he actually is?"
