Vibrant

A/N- this is a strange chapter. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR WEIRD STUFF. By weird I mean weird. Like... weird
Pixal's POV-
Once again I found myself in an empty, moonlight temple, kneeling before the God Chishiki.
"Please. Please." I whispered. "Show me. Show me Skylor."
I closed my eyes again.
"Please." I whispered. "I need to see her."
I opened my eyes and stood up, upset with my lack of answers. I had decided to continue with my work sweeping the temple when it hit me.
The vibration.
I fell to my hands and knees, gasping for air. Pain courses through my wires and up to my heart.
I sat there for a moment, alone, on the temple floor, for a moment, when it happened again. Pain rattled through me, coursing through my veins and shocking my sensors.
It felt like the glimpse of death I had experienced, once. It was my reminder. The reminder I would never be human.
I closed my eyes again and placed my hands on the pleated robe I wore. I cast out my spirit, trying to find Skylor's. I couldn't find her.
I looked up at the sky again, lost in my world.
"Please. Anyone. Please. I pray, help me. I am in your debt, but please, let me call on you this one time, aide me.
"Child" said a soft, feminine voice from behind me. I felt hands of light pressing against my body.
"Lu?" I asked. Lu, Goddess of Communication, had come to my side.
Lu turned me around to face her. Like Chishiki, she was made purely of light, hers of a cold silver. She had sleek long hair and almond shaped eyes. She looked a great deal like me.
"Pixal." Lu pulled me close to her. She was cool, like ice, and held me close to her. "Please, what you ask is going to be difficult. It will cause you pain."
I nodded, and closed my eyes. "I am ready, great one."
Lu nodded, then started to undo my robe.
"What... what are you doing?" I asked.
Lu traced her fingers across my bare back. Her fingers felt cold and her skin smooth. "This is preparation. For what's to come."
I sighed and tilted my head down, looking at the stone floor.
Lu pressed her cold hands against my back firmly, coursing feeling through my body.
What started as a dull buzz in my system soon escalated to sharp pain all over my body. A soft vibration rung in the back of my mind until it reached my eyes, completely wiping out my field of vision.
I was cast into darkness.
"Hello?" I managed to say, my throat was dry and rough, it was hard to talk.
"Pixal?" Responded a familiar voice. "I-is that you?"
"SKYLOR!" I shouted. "Skylor... where are you?"
"I- I made it out Pix! I'm in the living realm! I'm back!"
She... she was back. In a ghostly form, yes but she was back. It was like a dream, like something out of a fairy tale it was so unbelievable. My eyes started to flicker.
"Skylor..." I managed to choke out. "Where are you? We need to find you?"
Skylor sighed. "I-I don't know... I'll find out somehow. I'm coming back. I'm coming home."
My vision faded back into the tile floors of the temple. I could feel Lu's hands pressed against my back, then the release as she lifted them.
"Did you see her?" The goddess of Communication asked as she helped me put my robe back on.
"Yes." I whispered, my eyes flickering. "She's coming back."
Lu smiled. "That is good. She deserves it. We all deserve what will never happen. It pleases the gods to see that people like you can do justice in the world." Lu sighed then moved me to face her. "I wish you were my Predestine. It would be amazing."
I smiled. "Thank you, Goddess Lu," I said, bowing my head slightly. "But I am afraid that the likes of you and I cannot change the wheels of time."
Lu smiled, tears in her eyes. "Thank you, for calling me."
I watched as she faded into the night sky, becoming the starlight.
For once, everything in the world was completely perfect.
