As I ride off I take one last look at my home. I will miss all of them but at least they will all be alive.
I ride in the direction of the great waterfall. I am not sure how I know this is the place I just do. I have three days to get there. I could of made it in two but I wanted to be by myself and think of Justin.
He has always been my love, my life line, and my other half. I close my eyes and try to think back to the beginning when we were Tara and Lily. I see the handsome man he looks just like he does now.
He was helping one of the animals that was hurt by a trap and my heart fell for him instantly.
"You surprise me Tara. I did not think you to be so kind." I says.
"~I am always kind. ~Even though I can bring death I also bring life with my gift father gave me.~" Tara sang.
"Your brother Aries is never that kind to the creatures he come across."
"~Then he is a fool. ~Lily I could never hurt anyone that needed my help. ~I only take the lives that need taken because it is their time. ~Then I help make it quick. ~Lily do you trust me.~"
"I do." Over the next few months we spent many days together falling in love.
I then think of Ares and our life together.
"Lily stop playing me for a fool. I know you spend your time with my brother Tara. I want you to stop seeing him." Ares yells.
"What is it to you? I love Tara and plan to marry him. We have already talked to father. He is kind and caring to all the things I look after. You are cruel to not only them but to me."
"You can only belong to me. I am stronger then Tara and more powerful. I am the God of War; I represented the unpleasant aspects of battle. I will destroy everything in my path and bring victory to my battles." Ares says.
"You car insane. I can never be with someone like you. Never." I yell.
"I will stop you from being with my brother one way or another. Even if I have to kill the whole world to do so."
He has now kept his promise and will destroy the whole world. I have no choice but to stop him."
I ride till it starts to get dark and make camp. I did not bring supplies with me so I curl up with the horse blanket and fall asleep.
I dream of a dark night and things moving around. It's the fearlings. It burns to touch them. How can I get them to leave. It's there fear that is causing harm.
I see more and more coming out of the shadows. Then I hear a voice sing.
~Now it's time to say good night, Good night sleep tight.~
~Now the sun turns out his light, Good night sleep tight.~
~Dream sweet dreams for me, Dream sweet dreams for you.~
~Close your eyes and I'll close mine, Good night sleep tight.~
~Now the moon begins to shine, Good night sleep tight.~
~Dream sweet dreams for me, Dream sweet dreams for you.~
~Close your eyes and I'll close mine, Good night sleep tight.~
~Now the sun turns out his light, Good night sleep tight.~
~Dream sweet dreams for me, Dream sweet dreams for you.~
~Good night, Good night, everybody, Everybody, everywhere, Good night.~
The Fearlings turned white and started to fall sleeping turning into a field of Gardenias.
I wake with a gasp. I know how to defeat the fearlings but Justin no longer has his beautiful singing voice.
'It is all my fault.' I cry out.
'We could of defeat Ares if I had not asked for his voice to be normal.'
'JUSTIN PLEASE FORGIVE ME MY LOVE'
Then I hear a voice in my head. 'I forgive you. I will always stay by your side even if you run away. I know who me are now. I am near by just keep heading for Ares and we will defeat him together.'
'Thank you my love but the only thing that defeat him is your voice singing a lullaby.'
'Then I'll sing one.' He said.
I want to find him and stay forever in his embrace.
I did as he asked and headed for Ares with a loneliness in my heart.
We talked to each other along on the way.
'I remember you from when we first met. You were so kind to the little ones in my care.'
'You were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. You kind of scared me.'
'I did, Why?' I asked.
'You were so caring. The animal I help I was suppose to put it out of pain with death but when I see you I knew I could not. Even though it still has a little pain I healed it the best I could.'
'I'm sorry I ever made you feel that way.' I told him.
He had always been so kind to me and it was easy to fall in love with him.
'When this is all over will we remember all this?' I asked.
'Yes, until our next life together.' he tells me.
'Can you not ride with me? How far back are you?'
'Not far. Robert says you are just up ahead. We must stay apart to make Ares believe you come on your own. If we are seen with you he might hurt everyone.'
'I know but it is lonely riding by myself.'
'Let me tell you who our brother and sisters are that we have now as family.'
'Ok' I open my mind wide to hear what he is saying.
Uncle Robert is Thanatos the god of death. He has the red dressed sprites at the cross roads. I also get part of my power through him.
Ax your brother-in-law is Kratos the god of punishment.
Lae your brother is Hermes the god of tricks and thieves.
Uncle Adam is Eros the cupid of love.
