EpisodeXXVI

Richter, "Well its been a great time talking to you Zinion, Vetrievian let's go."

Vetrievian, "Good luck Zinion, alright let us go Richter."

I looked behind me and I saw Elizabeth approaching me, Vetrievian went laughing at the situation I was in. I turned around and looked at the floor. I became very shy at this moment, I was scared to look at her, to talk to her. My hands were shaking, then suddenly I saw her feet stop in front of me.

Elizabeth, "Hi, I saw you heading towards me."

Zinion, "..........Hi."

Elizabeth, "My name is Elizabeth, what's your name?"

Zinion, "Zinion."

I was so nervous, my heart couldn't stop pounding. I slowly then looked up towards her eyes as I looked up I saw her smile. It hit my heart, as I beautifully gazed upon it, I felt my eyes give a look of astonishment. Then I felt myself smile slowly. Then I looked at her eyes, my heart just stopped beating after I saw them. I completely fell for her. I saw light in her eyes, happiness, and hope. My heart suddenly felt at ease as I looked more and more deep within her eyes.

Elizabeth, "Would you like to dance with me?"

Zinion, ".............."

Elizabeth, ".....What's wrong?"

Zinion, "I...I...Don't know how to dance."

She grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the dance floor. We stopped and she put my right arm around her waist, and my left arm holding her right arm. We then moved in a slow steady pace to the music. I was so worried trying not to step on her feet. She told me to calm down and to follow her move. She then stepped forward and I stepped back late. I fell back a bit and bumped into the couple dancing behind us. I got up and started heading back towards the table I was sitting. But I felt her hand grab mine, I stopped. I turned around slowly.

Elizabeth, "Don't worry what they think, why are you so scared?"

I saw her give a sad frown, so I suddenly made a face of a brave soldier, and she started laughing. We went back to the dance floor and started dancing again. We were quiet for a while, slowly dancing to the steady beat of the music being played, looking at each other as we dazed into each others eyes. Her eyes were sweet and beautiful, they pierced my heart, pouring her light into my darkened heart. She then smiled even more brightly right before me, I closed my eyes and carved that smile of hers into my heart. When I opened my eyes a tear dropped from my cheek. She gently placed her hand on my cheek and softly rubbed it, to wipe my tears away. I placed my hand above hers. At this moment I was lost in her eyes looking straight into them, I cherished the warmth from her hand that was placed upon my cheek. My reflection in her eyes was becoming more and more visible, then tears dropped from both of her eyes, she closed her eyes and leaned towards my chest placing her head close to my heart. She was rubbing my cheek still, so with my hand on top hers I closed it in between her fingers to hold her hand. Her grip was tight and so was mine, I then let go of her hand and embraced her in my arms, she hugged me back tight. I felt so happy, I never felt so happy in my life. I just wanted to keep her in my arms and never let go. She stayed in my arms and we danced until the party was over. Before she said that she had to leave, I wanted to look at her eyes one last time. I lifted her chin so our eyes would meet and I smiled at her, she smile back at me beautifully.

Zinion, "You have very beautifull eyes, I can't stop looking at them. When I look at the light they reflect upon my heart, it just melts the ice my heart was engulfed with. Your smile, it illuminates my eyes with tears of joy. I've never felt so happy in my life."

Elizabeth, "I've never felt this much happiness also. Your eyes, they are as cunning and as beautiful as wolf's. When you were looking at my eyes with such beauty, I fell in love with yours right away. When I saw a tear fall down from your cheek, I was wanted to wash away all the sadness I saw in them. So I rubbed your tears away but as I did I felt part of that sadness go inside my heart and I started to see and feel what you were feeling and seeing. I saw the beauty in your eyes, and the light I reflected upon to you. As I put my head on your chest I felt your heart beat and I listened to it dancing to its steady beat, and its soft touch it was sending my heart. I felt the happiness I was giving you, and I felt so happy too."

Zinion, "This love in my heart that I have for you, I want to cherish it with you forever. I don't want to lose this light you bestowed upon me.. I owe you my life, my heart, and happiness."

I saw that my words touched her heart, her then eyes widened with love in them. I then looked lovingly into them as well. I felt my heart calm down as we looked at each other, I was no longer nervous nor shy. My heart was burning red with the feeling of a knife carving into my heart the word love and the blood of my heart pouring my life and love onto Elizabeth. I then smiled at her and she smiled back beautifully with her lips and her eyes. I just fell for her all over again when she smiled the way she did. Her beauty surpasses that of an angel.

Elizabeth, "You have such sweet words, I feel so happy when you say them to me."

I looked towards the moon then I noticed that everyone was gone except for Elizabeth and I. The party ended at midnight and it was far past it.

Zinion, "It's past midnight, do you want me to walk you home?"

She then came up to me and grabbed hold of my hand and put her other arm around me. She then layed her head on my chest and closed her eyes.

Elizabeth, "No, I want to stay... I want to stay with you."

We then walked towards the balcony in the ball room to look at the night sky and the light of the moon as it was shining down among us. She then leaned up to kiss my lips and we kissed under the darkness of the sky and the light of the moon. And as we kissed our tears poured out of our eyes, as our love for each other took over our hearts. We were both so happy, that our hearts and love found each other. I then realized what my mother meant.
