Part 6
I awoke in a very simply furnished room. The sun was coming through the window and the birds were singing the most beautiful song. My clothing was a simple white dress . I began to cry. A very soft spoken woman rushed forward to try to calm me.
" - You must rest my child" she said. I looked up at her and asked
" - Are you an angel?" and began to cry once again.
" - SHHHH my sweet girl. This is not heaven and I am no angel. You are still alive. I was just barely able to save you. Dawg ran you through really good but the protection from your beast on the babe prevented him from giving you an instant death." she said. My eyes opened wide with fear.
" - What happened to the baby". I cried. She shushed me once again.
" - The sweet babe is still fine. No harm came to her." I looked at her oddly.
" - The baby is a she?" I whispered. She clapped her hand to her mouth.
" - I am so sorry I thought you knew what the baby was." I placed my hand on hers.
" - It is ok. I have had so much going on lately that Dark and I had not wanted to know the sex of the baby." I said as I smiled at her.
" - I am so very sorry I hate spoiling the surprise!" she said once again. I gave her a reassuring smile. She leaned down and whispered.
" - Is it true what the male with you said that you were searching for your mother named Fiera?" I shook my head in acknowledgement. I would have to have a chat with panda about giving out that information. She leaned back up and took my hand to check my pulse.
" - We have no one here by that name but I am sure once Ophelia and MaLC come back they may be able to help you with your search." She gently brushed the hair from my face.
" - You remind me so much of someone I know but I can not place who" she said absently. There was a knock at the door. She went to answer it and panda barged into the room followed by the one named Dawg.
" - Majesty I am so glad you and the baby are all right. I told that barbarian if you died or the baby there would be hell to pay. He turned to the older woman and bowed deeply.
" - You have all my thanks my lady for helping Majesty. she is very important where we are from and her husband would kill any and all if she had died." She nodded at him.
" - I am no lady my name is just Suzy. It was my pleasure to be able to help her and the baby. This brute over there sometimes forgets his manners. This is a first time I have seen him try to kill a woman and a heavily pregnant one at that" she said as she glared at Dawg. He bowed his head in shame. " I am really sorry Majesty I thought you were an assasin sent to kill Ophelia. I began to laugh.
" - You do not have to call me majesty. I am not your queen. You can call me Storm". Everyone began to laugh. There was a sharp knock at the door once again. A handsome knight peeked in.
" - Dawg you are needed in the great hall Ophelia's group is back."
" - I am coming Dopysmurf. I just needed to check on our guest to make sure she was ok. Op would kill me if she had died." Dawg said. Dopysmurf just smiled. He kind of remeinded me of Dark. I missed him so much.
" - Suzy am I well enough to meet Ophelia. I am in kind of a hurry in search of my mom. If I fail in this my son may died back home." She nodded at me and helped me up. Dopy rushed over to help Panda steady me as we left to go to the great hall. There was a lot of laughter and commotion going on inside of the great hall. Dopy lead me and panda toward seats near the dais. I thanked him greatly as he headed over to a group of knights. He came back with a golden hair god. I laughed to myself. I have been away from dark for a few days now and all i could think about was Golden hair gods. The knight bent over and touched my hands to his lips.
" - And this must be the beauty our great beast Dawg tried to slay. I must say Our Ophelia is quite a beauty but the gods must have saved her mold to make you." he said. I began to blush. Panda only scowled.
" - I hate to burst your bubble prince charming but Majesty here has already found her king." he said. The young knight quickly glanced over panda.
" - I meant no disrespect. I don't think I caught your name my good fellow." he said.
" - That is because I did not give it. I am Chaos panda and before you ask I am not her king. She is already married and she is just my Queen as I am her loyal subject." The young knight just laughed.
" - It is nice to meet you Chaos panda. My name is Sir Beavis. I feel that we shall be fast rivals my good man." Panda just rolled his eyes.
" - I highly doubt that." I quickly rose before more could come of that situation." And you my fine sir may call me Storm.
" - I said quickly." Well then it is nice to meet you my lady Storm." he said as he bowed." Come I shall introduce you to the rest of the guild. You have been the subject of discussion all morning." he said with a laugh. He escorted me over to the large group of people leaving Panda behind. I turned to look at him but he had a scowl on his face. He was not happy with all this attention I was getting. I can not blame him after me almost dying this morning. The crowd parted and in the middle of the group was an older couple perhaps in the 50's laughing.
The woman even at her age was still a beauty. She raised her eyes to me and everything grew quiet. Even though her hair was shorter than I remembered there was no mistake this was my mother. Her eyes soften as she stared at me. She looked as if she was lost in a memory. The gentleman next to her turned around and my heart stopped. It was my father. His mouth dropped as he took in the sight of me. I was at a loss for words. I had longed to see them both for so long that I was not sure how I was to respond. Mom's face became clear once again and a big smile appeared on her face. She rushed over to me and took me into her arms.
" -I have missed you so much my little light" she whispered in my ear. She waved Mal over.
" - Close your mouth love and come greet your daughter" she said. The crowd grew silent. There was shock on all of their faces. Even the golden god had a shock look upon his face. Mal came over and searched my eyes. I could feel his magic probing at mine. I felt the surge of electricity before he did. A look of utter shock appeared on his face as his magic poured back into him making him yelp.
" - How is this possible? I thought you said she was dead! " he said as he looked at my mother. A sigh crossed her lips.
" - I wanted to tell you love but i couldn't! If you had known she was alive you would have never had come to this dimension with me and both of you would be dead now. I could not risk losing both of you. I knew Hellfire would look after her and when the time was right she would find Dawg's son Devall and he would help her. Please forgive me love for deceiving you. The mage council would have killed us both." she said. Mal had tears in his eyes as he set them once agin upon me. He reached out and pulled me into a bear hug.
" - I am so glad you are alive and apparently pregnant" he said as he noticed my tummy. A grin came upon his face.
" - So which of dawgs son's is the lucky man?" he asked.
" - Dawg's sons?" I asked confused.
" - The oldest Devall or his youngest Darkangel." he said waiting patiently. I sighed in relief.
" - Darkangel" i said quietly. His eyes lit up. I must have made the right choice. He turned to mom and gave her an evil smile.
" - I guess I won the bet love!" he said laughing.
" - Did someone mention my son's names" came a voice across the room. Dawg strode over to the group. He looked at me and smiled.
" - I am sorry for running you through Storm. It has been so long and the last time I saw you you were only 2. I see I am to be a Grandfather soon as well. How are my son's?" he asked.
" - Your son's are fine. Actually you are already a grandfather. Dark and I already have a 7 year old son named Dark Death. That is my reason for coming here to find mom and dad. I need their help against the mage council. They tried to poison me with a black rose but it inadvertently went into my son. I need to find out how to cure him before he takes his last breath." I said starting to cry. Mom took me into her arms and tried to console me.
" - My light Your father and I do not know how to cure him but I know someone that can. I think you should remember her once you see her.
" - She took me by the hand and led me out of the room and down a corridor. We came to a grand set of doors. Mom briefly knocked and the doors swung open. Two mages were in deep thought over a book they were looking over. The cover was very familiar. It was my story Fairytail: Tales of a Wet Nightmare. How had they gotten a copy of it. There was only one copy in existence and Devall had the only copy. The mages noticed they were no longer alone in the room and looked up. My heart jumped into my throat. It can not be possible both of them were still in the mage village when I left. Chiewa was the first one to recognize me. She leaped up and threw herself into my arms. She began to sob hysterically.
" - I thought I would never see you again. When you left the village the council became angry and then became furious when they realized you have take the page from the prophecy book. They placed so many bounties out on your life and they tried to make us hunt you down. Mom and I refused and we were locked up for it. We managed to escape and came across a lone archer when something shifted and all three of us ended up here. Fiera, I mean ophelia, found us and took us in. Stevos explained everything to her and Mal about you and what was happening in the other world." I was confused.
" - Stevos is here?" I asked as I looked at mom. She nodded her head. My heart leapt for joy. I would be able to see Stevos again.
" - Storm I think there is something I should tell you." mom said solemnly. I looked to her to continue on.
" - While we were on our hunt this time Stevos got cursed. It is something that we can not take away. We are not sure how much time he has left before he will die." mom said sadly. The fear began to show in my eyes. Not my strong and handsome Stevos. The gods could not take him away too again. My heart began to break. A memory of my son flashed before my eyes. That is right I was here to save my son. I looked over to chiewa's mother, Jefe." Someone on the mage's council produced one lone black cursed rose in our gardens back home. When I briefly touched it I must have pricked my finger on the thorns and it caused me briefly to black out. Mefisto was able to heal me but somehow through our connection my son fell into a coma. He was stable when I left in search of mom to find a way to heal him. She just told me she didn't know how to cure him but meant you and
Chiewa.
" - Is there a way I can help my son before he dies?" I asked her with tears in my eyes. She sighed and slowly nodded.
" - There is a way but he must be brought here so I can treat him. That is going to be easier to say than done. I am not sure if you realize how our two worlds work. Quite a few of us here can no longer go back to that world. Not because we don't want to but because we physically can't with out a sacrifice. There has to be a balance." she said.
" - But Dark was able to bring Stevos over for a brief time." I said." Yes but Stevos paid the blood price just to see you once more. The curse he now has is part of that price. What once we could heal is no longer healable by us.
