The Silver Paladin

Awaken..

~~~~Lellal~~~~~

I walked down the halls of our house on Teshiria looking for my little brother and sister. They ended up hiding and running from their duties.

I sighed, after three years they still haven't changed very much. Suddenly, I realized it. Three years have passed since Saoirse fell asleep, and so much had changed.

I haven't heard too much about the other Paladins except that they were busy with their own work. But, today was Celesital Day, a celebration they never missed in the previous two years.

After Saoirse fell asleep, Teshiria decided to follow in her footsteps of change. We created the Teshirian council, where any Teshirian deemed to be reliable, trustworthy, and determined to follow the path of peace my sister had left behind, can be appointed a seat on the council.

The clans were disbanded and everyone on Teshirian were mixed together. No one clan held more power over another, because there were no more clans. No one family was more powerful than anyone else.

At the moment, the Council was made up of the young clan leaders. All of them knowing how to rule their respective clans, and how to bring them together.

"Nalira! Reilo! Come out and stop acting like little kids! We neednto go over everything for tonight's celebration." I called out for my siblings.

Just then, I passed a door. A special door. If anything, they went in there. They were with our sister.

I grabbed the doorknob and twisted it, opening the door and revealing her room, my brother and sister sitting in the chair by her bedside.

Three years, and Saoirse still remains asleep. But today was the day she promised to come back to us. During those three years, my sister remained still, but her body slowly changed.

Her Teshirian and Altean marks were permanent, never to fade from her skin. Her hair slowly changed to her Teshirian colors, barely any of her black hair remained, the dark color was still there, but only when you looked closely.

I walked closer to my brother and sister, both of them having grown a lot in these past three years, but their faces still held the same sad expression they had when we first saw Saoirse in this state.

I stood behind them and placed my hands on their shoulders. They flinched at my touch, but they didn't look away fron our sister.

"We need to get ready, you two." I said, "Today's the day she'll finally wake up. We need to make sure everything is perfect for when she does. Besides, the others will be arriving soon and we haven't even begun to set up the feast."

Nalira and Reilo nodded, standing out of their chairs and walking over to Saoirse's uncovered hand. They gripped and squee,squeeze, it once before they smiled.

"We'll be waiting for you to wake up, sis." Reilo said.

"Hope you wake you wake up soon." Nalira whispered, giving our sister a gentle kiss on the cheek before they walked away with me.

We went to the main square in the center of Teshiria. There, standing tall in the center was a tall statue of our sister in her Teshirian form, angel wings and all.

She was smiling out into the starry sky, her hands folded over her chest where her heart was. The heart that cared for everyone else more than herself.

"Do you think she'll like this statue of her?" Nalira asked aloud.

"I'm sure your sister will love it." A voice said behind us. We turned around and saw mom and dad standing behind us smiling up at the statue.
