Prologue
The lights swirl around me as we spin, blurring into a beautiful scene of music, dancing, and rejoicing. I look up to my partner, a tall blond man with slightly tanned skin. But it wasn’t a mortal glow that surrounded him, it was one of a god, or so it seemed to me. His crystal eyes looked down to meet my silver ones. He smiled and I couldn’t help returning it with one of my own.
As the music came to a close he pulled me in with a firm warm hand and whispered in my ear.
“one more dance.” He looked down at me “Please-.”
I blushed, great the puppy dog eyes, they were just too cute. I sighed and looked off to the side to conceal my brightening blush.
“Fine, just one more.” His eyes lit up and he would of jumped and howled with joy if we didn’t have to act so proper.
We twirled around another couple as we made out way to the terrace windows. I rested my tired head on his shoulder, his warmth soothed my worried mind. We were under the windows now and I raised my gaze up to the sky, the witch moon high above watching us , judging us. Just thinking of it made my worries return. The ignorant music stopped and I backed away from my partner and curtsied “Thank you kind sir.” I said in a mocking tone.
He retorted with a bow “and you young maiden”. We shared a whispered giggle before I looked about to see if the others were near by.
Victoria and Fauna were just walking fallowed by Avalon and Dusque, each with their partner in pursuit. I looked to the clock, that sat grandly on a wall opposite, in that giant room, from us.
We didn’t have much time left.
I grabbed my partner and dragged him with me as I went to meet out friends. Victoria smiled as happily as you possibly could at a time like this. I returned it, not as cheery though. I motioned with my head to the double doors that led to terrace. They knew what I meant, so we snick out into the crisp night air. We barley had enough time to gather before all hell broke loose. Victoria and Fauna, plus a few of the others looked at me oddly, I looked down at my hands to find them slowly going translucent, I turned to say good-bye to my partner, my mate, but all I got in return was an explosion of feathers and light in his place. I saw fauna crying for her partner who apparently had fallen before mine. Then again with the flash and feathers, we were dropping like flies. Then I felt a tingle in my chest, I guess this is what it felt like to disappear from the world.
Bridget, Dusque, Fauna, Victoria, and the rest that remained looked at me with tears. I smiled in my own way, the way that everyone either called motherly or like a protective big sister, either way I hoped it calmed them.
“It’s alright, we will meet once again, trust me, as you always have. I don’t want tears on your faces while I take my last look at you!” They dried their tears as best they could and smiled sweetly
“Good-bye, see you soon, Artemis” and with my last glance I was consumed with light and my soul split into millions of pieces that flew into the universe and flow of time.
…And I truly didn’t lie,
…We would one day…
…Meet again…
…I swore it…
….But who was I…
…and who would we be…
…I wonder…
