Ages had passed...since the Gods walked among men, since Darkness barthed all evils...and Light protected all Life. Ages had passed since fury crept over our lands...and chaos brought wars and blood, and the balance that it laws were written by the Gods themselves put it at bay. Never losing but never won either. Because the moon can not handle the heat of the sun, nor the white can handle the darkness of the black. For fire can not hold the coldness of water, nor earth can be as free as air. What a wonder we live in ?, all apart..but all togather, ruled by time, fate, life, death and magic. Where fate calls to each of us in time, and death claim us at the end of life. Where there is worlds behind the world we live in where we are all connected...all apart of a grand moving plan. Where magic is everywhere around us,and can be seen only by who believe in and look for it,look closely...for even time and distance are not what they appear to be,and when this grand dance is over, and when we are done here...be it after one life or a thousand ones, we get to rise up in to the sky and became sagas of stars. But the question lay a head of us...what if someone wanted to change his destination?...change his star saga finaly to be by the side of his love?..instate of away?.
What if someone loved so much to break every rule...every law, to have an adoration that flops to achieve the impossible? What if someone rewrote The Destiny Written in the Stars? Let us together hear this story..that began a very long time ago with war, blood, magic and love...but it most important and radiant event happened in a rainy and cold stormy night.....
He sat at his desk in his large yet simple office, the fire blazing but unable to dispel all the chill of the stormy wind outside. His only connection to the real world from his mind space was the friction of his pen on the paper and the little clatter of the burning wood in the stone fireplace.
Dr. Daniel Grayson was a twenty-eight year old man, with sandy blonde hair, pale skin, and green eyes. A genius physician who lived in a small country town, but whenever he was asked, he would reply the same: "I want peace and quiet that cannot be found in the city." The answer was very convincing when said in his calm voice and accompanied by a warm, elegant smile... However, it was a lie, or at least a half one.
Danial wanted quietness but to plan revenge and returning what was taken from him, not for spiritual purposes. And he stayed in the small town for its close and strategic location, yet its harmful appearance to where his revenge path lay. It's been two years...two slowly agonizing years...but soon, very soon he will wade into the war and destroy anyone and everyone in his way to return her by his side where she belongs...where she wanted to be before they took her from them by lies and betrayal, when they knew she loved him...chose him.
His Rosa...his love and life and he swore that day when he was on the ground betrayed by who he thought of as a dear friend, a brother! Cold on the death door yet never entered it, that nothing and no one will stop him from reuniting with her again. His thoughts went to darker and darker places to the greedy, deceptive lords, to his family history, the blasted curse that he will break...he must..they were meant to be together...but first things first, he will destroy who tricked him and used both him and her. Then he will destroy the real plague and end centuries of suffering and war.
His storm of thoughts were cut when the pen in his hand broke from the tight and hard grip. Danial sighed and took his glasses off, then stood up and went out of the office to the kitchen with a cup of lavender tea in mind. Passing the big and white and grey decorated house rooms he reached the kitchen and started to prepare the calming drink, but something made his hand freeze on the mug and took his mind from the whistle voice of the pitcher singing the water pouring. Danial was a statue of stone for a minute but his body and mind were in a storm of feelings and thoughts, his entire skin felt like there were a million stars touching it, alarming his consciousness of a power... pure and hot and blinding like the sun rays, only a thousand times stronger and warmer.For a second, only one second... it was undefinable... someone were getting closer, an enemy..but the other second it got closer and warmer...it took over his senses and revealed itself as the familiar warm and powerful one he know for a long time. This Power!..the only one it belonged to !...it was Impossible!!. Danial stormed thru the house to reach the door while his mind were racing in every possible direction...the door bell rang, and seemed to stop everything, his thoughts of denial and uncertainty, the wind and rain sounds...even his heartbeats and breathing ! forcing him to step the last step to the door and open it...
He found the very person his storm of thoughts were about, like a phantom come true flesh and bone. The familiar warm power source that made it ache sweetly to let it seep into his system and spread its warmth. Before him stood the person he thought he would never see again but after a great invasion and a huge clash with her jailers. His first and last love… his Lady… His Rosa!.
Danial could not believe his own eyes, there she stood under the rain, covered in an unbuttoned hood holding something he passed on with his eyes because right now...nothing else mattered...not the world, not his own life but her..and wishing to every entity that this was not another dream...another fantasy. "Rosa ?!?" Danial managed to say faintly in question and amazement.
The fair and beautiful hooded woman that stood in front of him answered only with the smile he adored for so long but accompanied it with some tears in her eyes, and he felt his insides become like they were crushed after he felt himself float from happiness. And his mind started to absorb the situation logically again, so he said scampered: "Come! Come inside my love!!, it's pouring out here!" and so she entered and he closed the door adding more enforcement energy to seal it, then went around to do the same to every window beside inspecting through the darkness in a try to spot any approaching threat, to be stopped by her soft and familiar voice telling him: "They are not behind me..I was able to set a deception trap that would send them on the opposite direction from here..though I don't think it will fool them for long, but it was enough time for me to reach here, to find you...", Danial then reached in front of his lover, here under the house lights and after she took off her hood, he was able to see her ethereal countenance, Rosa was an enchanting beauty with flowing ruby hair, snow white soft skin that reflected light and formed a soft halo around her, and last but not least the most unique amethystine eyes, that shone like jewels even in the dim moonlight, and shone with power whenever she let out her magic. In Danial's eyes she was perfect...everything about her, and everything around her was unimportant and secondary, and every woman next to her was a sorry excuse for existence.
He rounded her in his arms, an embrace they have craved for so long, then pulled away surprised when he felt the bundle between them move. But before he could utter the question Rosa answered him by removing a small hood and revealed a small head... A baby head !! Danial got closer again to look upon the small creature more clearly and became more shocked when met with similar amethystine eyes to his beloved, a child in his Rosa's hands that has her exact same eyes!!! But wait! The hair...
It was black like ink and suddenly his blood ran cold when he remembered who had the same shade of color for a hair...it was HIM !!..could it be !??, NO NO NO NO!!! His Rosa would never!..but! but!....
She cut his frantic thoughts answering every question running in his mind and said by his shocked eyes, Rosa:" Yes Danial, this is my daughter Christa...and yes Robert is her father,but you need to understand Danial! I...", and she could not continue because he said in a low tone filled with cold rage and betrayal:"Understand ?..... what there is to UNDERSTAND????...I was here for a whole tow years, planning and plotting and training...breaking myself down and rebuilding it to become more strong, more close to safeing you...while you made a happy life with that basterd ?...I was...I was dreaming of you every night and you you!!!...how could you lay beside him, barth his child!!! I thought you love me! that you will wait for me even if I was in Exile !!.. that you won't believe whatever lie they would tell you about my disappearance because you KNOW ME !!! And you will WAIT!!!...."
"THEY DID NOT TELL ME YOU WERE EXILED !!! THEY TOLD ME YOU DIED !!!...",Danial went silent on this , deadly silence, he thought that Robert would not tell everyone he died..he will not let himself be doubted in for murdering him, that he will define him a traitor and he heroically fought him and make his snakes of elders council announce Exiling him...
Rosa pursued broken and lowly :" They deluded me and told me your body were taken by Carlos leage , then they brought a maimed body that have a faint sense of your power and I...I could not ....", Rosa shoulder shook and her breaths became faster, the tears in her eyes seemed to have a life of its own but she forced herself to continue:"I went low...and then I tried to follow you..I could not live in a world you were not in anymore, but Robert saved me...helped me thru my depression... I thought he was the only one I have left...that he cared for me...my best friend.." Rosa said the last words with broken cold mockery....Daniel could only listen with every word breaking him more and more, they thought she was killed by the demon's forces?!
Rosa spoke calmly with a cold look in her eyes: "Then he became more...and I loved him...you were gone...then I gave birth to Christa, I was so happy, so happy, until he revealed himself, and the whole plot, they tricked me...made him act and fool me after getting you out of the way to have me become the vessel that would keep them in control of the council."
I overheard Robert and his father but they noticed me and now I know, so they imprisoned me in the east wing and only let me see her to feed her, then I started to plan my escape.I hid that I had my powers back after childbirth from the masters, and pretended that all I had were the faint powers I fed to Christa.Until yesterday night, I unleashed some of my magic summoning my familiars to cause enough chaos for me to run, and then I set the trap for the guards that were sent after me. And came here...", Danial didn't know what to say, he was unable to talk...all he could feel is anger and helplessness, then he said in determination:"We are leaving...I'm going to pack my important things and experiments and ...it won't take long, just wait here a minute." But Rosa did not let him finish and said shaking her head in refusal:" I'm not going anywhere Danial... I won't stop until I finish them, all of them, because they will never stop coming after me, after her..."and she looked at her daughter.Danial refused as well saying": And I know..and I will help you, but for now we need to move to go to a safe place I know....", "No Danial, there is no time, they already figured out my trap and on their way...Danial" Rosa tone of voice, her eyes pleaded him for something he did not understand,Danial thought confused: (What does she want? Why wouldn't she run with him?) and watched her put the baby on his couch the walk back until she stood in front of him her hands reached to touch each of his cheeks, unconsciously he leaned to her warm touch and their eyes met, he saw many emotions Love, sadness, agony and pleading, the two lovers closed the space between them and their foreheads touched, the tears that fell from her eyes made his heart draw into darkness and pain. Rosa:"I wanted you to know...I was ready to die after you when I thought you were gone...and even though my false happy life with Robert I never stopped loving you...And I Never Will.I know that I I may never see you again, but for me this here...to be able to feel you breathe, know you are alive and well is enough.I won't ask your forgiveness for I don't deserve it..but I have one final plea Danial...please... my daughter she's innocent!!,she doesn't deserve to have what happened to me to be her destiny, for the curse to be all she would have in life.
Please take her and run,I will try to end it..but if I couldn't succeed...I want to die knowing she is safe and free..free to live and love unlike me...unlike us, please Danial I beg you !"Rosa finished hurriedly.Danial replied:" Whatever it is that you have in plan I will help...you don't have to be separated from her...we will be together..","No...I'm the only one who can finish this, it all ends with me!!, Please my love take her and leave...if by any chance someone were to survive after I'm gone, I would die in peace knowing she is safe with you".
Danial heart turned to ash...how could she ask this? After he got her back? How could he let her go to her death? Rosa as though she heard his mind again said: "Danial, let me go...you have to let me go. Please go and take her with you, forget about me and the world I brought you into that made you reach death...and seek revenge. That led you to lose your heart. And now you are here, brokenhearted."
Danial closed his eyes in pain, it was unbearable..how could he forget her when she is in every breath he takes, and the only purpose in his life?...
Rosa":You will have a part of me, and know no matter what happens I will be in peace, isn't that enough ?."
Danial:"But!..But!"
Rosa:"No Buts my love, this has taken too long, and too many lives and hearts.I Own This to everyone , and to you, and above all..", and she went to the little bundle and kissed her baby head for the last time, more tears spilling as she softly whispers:"...for her...My beautifull princess", Then she stood with determination burning in her eyes and said:"...It's time, I have to go, I leave her in your care" and went to the door. Danial followed harredly and bullled her before she could touch the door handle to face him, and kissed her...The kiss were not gentle..it was hard and full of sadness and despair, yet full of need and pleade,the taste of their bitter saddness and agony were on their tongue from their tears, when they pulled apart they were more broken hearted, and more incomplete souls, never the same.
And so she walked out into the rainy stormy cold night, and he stood watching the darkness take away her shape, Daniel did not care for the cold, and his eyes did not cease searching for her until he could no longer see even a hint of her figure in the distance. They were both lost to each other forever.
