She stretched slightly to sooth the cramps she felt.Looking around,she found Endymion nowhere in sight.*Where has that Avalonian Prince,gotten to?* wondered Serenity as she looked around. "You're up??"came Endymion's voice. "I was wondering where you'd run off to..."said Serenity. "So....about last night.."began Endymion. "What about last night?"asked Serenity confused. "Uh...You don't remember??"asked Endymion cautiously,not wanting to be blasted again. "No...I remember I came back....I fell asleep and woke up...and...saw you in a tree....and.....I fell asleep again."said Serenity thinking back with a frown on her face. *This was unbelievable....she'd totally forgotten she'd used magic to throw him towards one of the trees and she'd collapsed in a dead faint...not faling asleep!!!How could she forget????* Endymion stared at Serenity. "You don't remember do you???"asked Endymion. "What???!!"asked Serenity exasperated. "You used an impressive amount of magic and threw me towards one of the trees!!"exclaimed Endymion. "What???I did NO such thing.Besides this is not Avalon.Where in utopia's name should I get an impressive amount of magic???"asked Serenity flabbergasted. "That's exactly what I was going to ask you."grounded out Endymion. "So...you ready to talk about what happened??"he asked. "Okay...."sighed Serenity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later... "A woman named Setsuna,who is the Guardian of the Gateway,sent you back here???"asked Endymion. "Is it all so hard to believe????"asked Serenity. "For one thing...it is!!I can't believe you and Mina would sacrifice yourselves when our battle has only begun!!!Didn't you even THINK we might need you???"exclaimed Endymion. "I'm here NOW aren't I???I'm not dead from exhaustion am I???"retorted Serenity angrily.*Why is he making such a big deal out of all this??* "That's NOT the point!!" "You're making a fuss out of nothing!!!"exclaimed Serenity. "I'm just....worried about you!!"said Endymion. This caught Serenity by surprised.Endymion was worried about her??? "Why...that's.....sweet.."choked out Serenity. "Sorry I yelled at you..."muttered Endymion as he turned to walk away. "We should ..uh...get going."said Endymion awkwardly. Serenity sighed.*Royalty are just NOT good at apologies and emotions.... especially Endymion.*thought Serenity to herself. "Right..."replied Serenity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later... "Endy...we've been walking for hours...we still haven't found,what it is we're suppose to find."groaned Serenity. "I know....I've been wondering if we'll ever find what it is we're looking for."replied Endymion. A cold chill swept through the forest,sending shivers down Serenity's spine... "Endy...did you feel that??"asked Serenity,rubbing her arms. "Feel what??"asked Endymion curiously. "Nothing...probably just my imagination."said Serenity as her eyes darted from left to right. Endymion shrugged and continued to walk on. Serenity couldn't get the creepy feeling to subside....she had the strangest feeling that something was about....to happen.... Stopping in her tracks,Serenity shivered again.Looking down,she saw a frog hopping. The frog stopped in front of her. Bending down,Serenity reached out for the frog.... "Nice froggie..." Suddenly,the frog opened it's eyes,the eyes glowing a bright red. "What th-" The frog turned into a gigantic bullfrog.It was 10 times bigger than Serenity and had red glowing eyes.Definately NOT good... Endymion burst through the bushes and gaped at the HUGE frog that stared down at them... "Do you think we should run??"whispered Serenity. "What do YOU think???"asked Endymion. Suddenly one of the frog's hands came down almost on them. "Run!!"exclaimed Endymion grabbing her hand. The frog's tongue came down where they had just been standing. A women hidden in the shadows gave a laugh. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serenity and Endymion continued to run as the giant frog hopped on after them. Endymion looked behind him and shouted out a spell.... "Giant Snake materialize!!"he shouted as he ran. Serenity continued to run,briefly turning her head to watch what was happening. Endymion had conjured up a snake...however...it wasn't big enough. Endymion gaped in disbelief as the frog merely ate the snake,he'd conjured.He stood there in shock. Serenity who was ahead of him gasped as she saw him standing there, unmoving. The frog gave a loud ribbit.Causing a massive quake,seperating Serenity from Endymion. *Oh my god...*thought Serenity. Endymion snapped out of his stupor and saw the giant frog advancing,and he had no where to hide or run. He turned,his face pale. "Sun jewel, Hear my call, Build a shield wall!!"shouted Serenity,pointing her jewel to the opposite side of the gap,where Endymion stood. Endymion turned slightly to see Serenity. Serenity gave a weak smile.Endymion smiled back and followed suit,using his own jewel to strengthen the shield. The frog attacked the dome shield with it's tongue.Serenity could tell it was getting angry and she was also getting tired fast.... Endymion knew it too....He racked his brain for spells or plans that could destroy the frog. A crack had begun to show on the shield. Serenity fought to stay conscious....ignoring the burning pain in her arm and the ringing in her head. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morgana smiled evilly....as she stood behind the weakening Serenity... "Poor elemental..."she mocked. Serenity gave a gasp and looked behind her. "Wh-who are you..."rasped Serenity. "I am Morgana...sister to Morgan.My worthless brother should have delivered you to the mistress instead of trying to kill you...the fool.. you did well,killing him...."smiled Morgana leeringly. Endymion also noticed the woman behind Serenity and turned his head slightly to see what was going on. Morgana had raven black hair and wore a purple-blue garment.She held a black harp in one hand. "So....I will not make the same mistake..."said Morgana. A giant panda bear appeared behind Morgana.It's eyes a glowing red and it's mouth dripping with saliva. Serenity gasped and backed away,still focusing her jewel on the shield protecting Endymion. Morgana smirked and lifted her black harp.Strumming the harp.A terrible sound came out and the panda and frog's eyes gleamed a bright red. "What are you waiting for...??Go get them..."said Morgana smiling evilly. Serenity gasped as the panda advanced.Morgana was using the harp to control the two animals. "I'll be seeing you,Serenity..."laughed Morgana disappearing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With that...the two had to stop the shield.They had to use their own magic for themselves. When the shield disappeared...Endymion promptly jumped to the side instead of letting the frog's tongue coming down to get him. Serenity was having her own problems with the giant panda.It was trying to catch her. It's giant paws coming down to try and catch her. Serenity was already very tired...and now running and jumping around did NOT help.... Serenity pointed her jewel to the ground. "Sun stone, With your bright light, grow this grass, to my height!!!!" The grass began to grow,taller and taller...until it reached her height, effectively hiding her from the giant panda. Endymion saw the grass on the otherside of the gap grow up to a tall height.He smiled slightly. "Sun jewel, Heat and fog, Shine out your Sun light onto this frog!!"exclaimed Endymion trying to make the frog dry so that it would hop straight back into a pond or a lake. The frog was beginning to get dry skin.... The panda growled in frustration.The grass was making it difficult to find his prey. He let out a loud growl and stomped on the grass to flatten it... Serenity was afraid it would stomp on where she was next..... The frog did a last attempt to catch Endymion and it's tongue struck out toward him,knocking him down. Endymion shouted in surprise as he rolled down...right into the gap!!! Breaking his concentration,the sun light didn't shine so brightly onto the frog,making it more tolerable. Serenity pushed through the tall grass when she heard the shout... Her eyes widened at the sight...Endymion was hanging in the gap and the frog was hopping towards the gap,to find him... "ENDYMION!!!"screamed Serenity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serenity felt a wave of pain wash through her mind again.... Suddenly,she emmited a flash of bright light....her magic pulsed from her,knocking the frog away from the gap... The magic pulse turned both animals back into the normal creatures.... A normal panda sitting in the long grass and a frog who began hopping away furiously back in the direction of a pond. Endymion gaped...it was happening again....But this time..it was stronger... Endymion felt himself being lifted by a soft breeze and was amazed when the earth itself began to move,closing the gap.... Only when all was back....did Serenity fall to the ground.... Endymion hurried to her side.... Her eyes were half opened...her breathing shallow and ragged.She was exhausted.... "Why'd you do that for???"scolded Endymion."You could have been killed!" Serenity managed a weak smile."Never knew I had it in me....Didn't want you to get hurt...."she whispered. Endymion frowned.Her pulse was racing...she could have killed herself exerting her magic,especially when they were not on Avalon...but the question remained....where had she gotten that much magic??? "You could have gotten killed!!!I wasn't hurt!!!"exclaimed Endymion. "Didn't want you to get hurt....couldn't allow it...had to protect you..." whispered Serenity. "Why???"he asked..."I don't want you hurt either!!" Serenity smiled slightly..."I love you..."she whispered,before falling unconscious into sleep... Endymion stared at the girl in his arms.... He smiled and lightly carressed her cheek."I love you too..."whispered Endymion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At those words....the two jewels gleamed brightly,this time catching Endymion's attention. "Wha-??" The jewels broke off from the string around their necks....the jewels glowing a bright silver and gold as it floated into the air... Serenity felt a stab of pain in her head and her eyes flew open,meeting Endymions... She saw the jewels in the air glowing madly. "Endymion...wha-??"began Serenity. Blinding light filled the air.... When the two opened their eyes,they saw somebody standing in front of them..... Serenity's eyes went wide with reognition. "Setsuna!!"exclaimed Serenity. Setsuna smiled.She held a staff and something glowing in her hand. "Hello Serenity....Endymion...at last...the two of you have found the first mystic item....your love for each other has brought together the two jewels of the sun....."smiled Setsuna. Opening her hand,Setsuna held out the item.... It was a silver medallion with a topaz in the shape of the sun,set in it's center. Endymion and Serenity gasped... Setsuna handed the item to Endymion."Wear it.."said Setsuna simply. Endymion promptly obeyed,taking the medallion and wearing it.Turning to Serenity, "You are an elemental and shall not need the item when you return to Avalon..."said Setsuna. "Avalon-...we're going home???!!!"asked Serenity anxiously. Setsuna smiled and nodded.Waving her staff,a portal appeared.... "This portal,leads straight into Avalon.Go now...you have found one of the items that shall help the survival of Avalon....but remember....the most powerful thing you have found...is your love..."said Setsuna as Endymion and Serenity stepped into the portal.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As the portal closed...Setsuna sighed..."Be strong....you have many challenges ahead..."she whispered as the sky grew dark.... In the dark realm.... "Morgana!!!Serenity and that Prince have found the first item!!!I want you to get it!!Destroy it!!Steal it!!I don't care as long as they don't have it!!!Do you understand??!!"she screamed. "Understood Mistress..."acknowledged Morgana. "Kayala...make sure the others don't find the other items..."she said angrily. Kayala nodded,disappearing into a portal. The dark lady sat on her throne..."Soon...Avalon...soon....you shall fall....and I...shall rule the wild magic..."she laughed insanely. Her laughter echoing throughout the dark realm... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be continued... Don't worry...You'll get to know who the evil lady is soon,...VERY soon... So...that's the purpose of the glowing of the jewels huh...??Now things are heating up...watch for Part 6....Email me!!!
