Title:Wild Magic.Part 7 Author:Tapestry Email:Shaddow_Cat@hotmail.com Standard Disclaimer Apply *denotes thought Amy & Zoiscite "Dying???Amy...you're joking right??...Avalon can't die!!!"exclaimed Zoiscite. "Shush your mouth!!She has spies everywhere....the wild magic has ears." reprimanded Amy. Zoiscite frowned."Avalon..dying???That's preposterous!!It's...it's impossible.!"whispered Zoiscite staring at the ground...ignoring the cold that bit at him. "As impossible as it sounds....it's true..."confirmed Amy sadly. "But....without Avalon....the magic of Avalon will break loose."said Zoiscite. "True....that is why,Endymion is the chosen....though the Prince does not know his destiny...he WILL become the next person to control the magic of Avalon....along with his soulmate..."said Amy. "Soulmate????Who IS,his soulmate???"asked Zoiscite confused. "Did you actually believe,you saw us on that day by the waterfall,a coincedence????"asked Amy flabbergasted. "It's not???" "No!!!Avalon's daughters,Destiny and Fate!!They were sent by Avalon to set Endymion and Serenity's meeting on purpose!!"exclaimed Amy exasperated. Zoiscite raised an eyebrow... "Tell me....just HOW much....do you know???And what will happen to Endy's kingdom,pray tell....and we ARE only mortal....Endymion will only control the magic for a short period of time!!"reasoned Zoiscite. "That's where you are wrong....Endymion and Serenity will live for more than a 1000 years.....and even after they pass....they will meet again in another life or dimension over and over as their destinies are intertwined and a bond like theirs can span for...forever...but it's best you ask Mina about this stuff...as for how much I know.....thats for me to know and for time to unravel..."said Amy. "Interesting....what about the other elementals???"asked Zoiscite curiously. "You don't have to worry on that....you'll know in due time."sighed Amy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "That girl is just full of surprises,Destiny.."smiled Fate. "You got that right,sister....that nymph knows waaaaaay too much for her own good."sighed Destiny. "But she can't help it....her kind is afterall the brains of the elementals."said Fate. Destiny nodded..."What burns me up is....we set things up and we have to leave it to time to take it's course."said Destiny. "Ah...the bad thing about being an immortal,eh sis?????"laughed Fate. The two sisters watched on in interest as the nymph and the Avalonian guard journeyed on....on their quest to seek the mystic item and a journey of bonding... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kayala smiled at the next target...the nymph...she was the smart one and would probably be difficult....but she had the perfect thing against the nymph.... "Zoiscite...we've been walking for so long."gasped Amy.The sun was shining and it was warm. "What's wrong??Do you need to rest??"asked Zoiscite concerned. Amy shook her head."It's just that...I'm evaporating...."gasped Amy. "Evaporating??"echoed Zoiscite. "I mean losing water....I can die this way."choked Amy. "Don't you dare say that,Amy....you're not going to die."bit out Zoiscite suddenly,startling Amy. "Rain fall,shower!"exclaimed Zoiscite. Suddenly...a cooling shower came down....Amy smiled slightly....relishing in the cool water.Amy gave a sigh. Awhile later..the shower stopped...Amy wringed her short blue hair. "Thank you,Zoiscite..."whispered Amy shyly. Zoiscite smiled and nodded,continuing to walk ahead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amy followed at a steady pace,shaking her wet hair. "Amy..."whispered a soft eerie voice. Stopping,Amy looked up. "Am-mmmy........"taunted the voice. A shiver ran down her spine.Breaking into a run,Amy quickly pushed past the bushes toward Zoiscite.... *Please...It cannot be...I have to be imagining things.*wished Amy as she ran through the bushes towards her companion. "Amy??" Amy ran straight into Zoiscite.Her breath ragged and uneven.Her face was pale and her body was in cold sweat.She felt terrible. "Amy....what's wrong??"asked Zoiscite with a worried voice. "N-nothing..."gasped Amy. "You're out of breath."pointed out Zoiscite."Are you sure you're fine?" he asked again. "I'm fine!!"snapped Amy suddenly. Taken aback,Zoiscite was surprised...shy,sweet and gentle Amy had snapped at him.*What's wrong with her all of a sudden????*wondered Zoiscite. Amy's eyes were darting back and forth.*Amy???Scared??Now that was very strange.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kayala watched as Amy began to fidget with the stone around her neck,as she followed Zoiscite through the dense forest on the island. "Well...nymph....it seems as though you have a few skeletons in your closet now don't you???"laughed Kayala. "She has skeletons in her closet??"grunted a voice. Kayala turned around to face a slave of hers.... "Illusyon!!"what a are YOU doing here????"snapped Kayala. "The nymph has skeletons in her closet??"repeated Illusyon.She was probably only a girl of 12...long black hair with smoky grey eyes. Kayala frowned.Though the child had great magic...able to play tricks on the eyes,Illusyon was still but a child and had a small brain. Plain stupid and naive. A plan began to form in her head.....*Hmmm...I could use Illusyon to fool the nymph....after all...the power of illusion is a powerful thing.* smiled Kayala to herself,tossing her raven black hair back. Illusyon stared at the pool at the young nymph that was walking behind Zoiscite. "Pretttty..." Kayala smirked.*The retarded child was perfect...* "Who is the man??"asked Illusyon curiously. Kayala was shocked.*The poor child is infatuated with the man.What a scream!!*laughed Kayala to herself. "You like him???"asked Kayala. Illusyon nodded. "Well,that girl is the one the man likes....she is bad."pointed Kayala to Amy."I want you....to go and catch her.It doesn't matter if you hurt her, as long as she's still alive.Then,you'll be able to be with him."lied Kayala. "H-Hurt her??"asked Illusyon unsure. "That's right." "B-But...I can't.." Kayala frowned.The girl was a weakling....but that was easily remedied. A blood red harp (similar to Morgana's) appeared. Kayala strummed the harp once. Illusyon clutched her head in pain. "Bring her back....Illusyon..."bit out Kayala. Illusyon looked up....her eyes were dark and cloudy.... Kayala strummed the harp once more. "Well????!!What are you waiting for!!??"Strumming the harp again. Illusyon screamed in pain and nodded....disappearing. Kayala smirked.*The child is weak..so easy to manipulate.*thought Kayala bitterly.Turning away....she disappeared in the shadows,her blood red garment sliding across the floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Illusyon found herself in a pretty place.All her life,she'd been surrounded by darkness...never being able to experience the light.She sighed sadly. *Now to find that nymph....* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later that night.... Zoiscite sat by the small fire he'd managed to start.Watching for the slightest danger,whilst Amy slept. He turned to look at her sleeping form.She looked so fragile and small. Hardly the person you'd suspect to be an Elemental. Her blue bangs covered her eyes slightly.Zoiscite smiled slightly.Sure, both of them had come a long way,since they had started off on the wrong foot. ~FLASHBACK~ (refer to Chapter 1) "We have to cross the lake!!"came Serenity's voice. "But how??I can't walk on this lake!!"said Amy. Zoiscite chuckled at Amy..."Poor nymph...."he guffawed.Amy stared at him angrily.With a flick of her finger,a cold chill seemed to wrap itself around him.... Zoiscite gave a loud startled cry... ~END FLASHBACK~ His hands itched to brush the thick strands of hair from her face. Finally...he gave in.Lightly brushing her blue hair back.Amy didn't stir. *She's so beautiful....*thought Zoiscite to himself.A stab of guilt shot through him.Shaking his head to rid himself of his thoughts,Zoiscite focused back on Amy. Suddenly...she curled herself into a tight ball and mumble inchoherently. Zoiscite could make out soft sobbing. *What's wrong??* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Amy's dream) "Hello Amy....."mocked the voice. "Mommy??"came Amy's scared voice. "Mommy's not here anymore Amy...and do you know why???Because she died defending you from the goblins." "No!!It's not my fault!!"screamed Amy. "Your mother died because of YOU and your father!!"shouted the voice. "No..." "I cared for your mother....and she died defending you!!!"came the voice again. "Go away!!!Daddy!!!"screamed a frightened younger Amy. Amy clutched herself tightly,sobbing. Suddenly the scene changed....now she was on an iceberg...a 3 year old Amy watched as an older elemental was beaten to death by some villagers from a village.The villagers shouting that the demon came because of them. "Grampa!!" "Uh-uh...musn't touch,Amy darling....your world is surrounded by death. Means,everybody you love or anybody you meet will die because of YOU..." came the voice again. "No!!!Lies!!!Grampa!!" "It's true....your grampa...your mother...round and round the wheel of fate goes...who it stops,nobody knows.Oh look...it's your father and your friends.Tough luck." "Go away!!Why must you haunt me!!!??"wailed the young Amy. "Because...Amy...elemental...nymph of water and ice....YOU are a curse!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "NOOOOOOOooooooo!!!!"screamed Amy sitting up,suddenly. "Amy???"came a scared voice. Amy hugged herself and looked around...it was dark...Zoiscite was staring at her....the small fire was still going....only a dream....a dream... "Amy??"came Zoiscite's voice again. "Nothing.."croaked Amy. "Amy.." "Zoiscite,please....don't pry."pleaded Amy. "I'm just worried about you."replied Zoiscite. "I know....thank you."whispered Amy,looking at him.*He has such beautiful eyes...why have I never noticed it before???*wondered Amy. *Snap out of it!!You know you are cursed,Amy.....remember what happened to Greg???*scolded her mind.Shaking her head,Amy turned away.A pink hue staining her cheeks. Zoiscite stared at her strangely.She was hiding something...that was certain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Illusyon watched as Zoiscite comforted Amy from the nightmare she had been having.Her eyes gleamed a bright red suddenly. Amy stood up."I need to take a walk...give myself some time to think." said Amy to Zoiscite. Zoiscite nodded....he knew the feeling....he too needed to think some things through.... Both parted their own ways... Kayala watched the two....amused....*Perfect oppurtunity for Illusyon.* smirked Kayala. Illusyon watched as the two went opposite directions.Closing her eyes, her small frame began to glow an eerie blue. Amy kicked a little sand from under her feet.They'd walked a straightline through the jungle to the otherside of the island.She could hear the waves crashing on the seashore.Pushing past some plants,Amy stepped out onto the beach.The scent of sea water slammed into Amy,full force. *Michelle would love it here....* "Hello Amy...remember me??"came a mocking voice. Amy gasp and turned around. "Triton!!"exclaimed Amy with a gasp. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zoiscite sighed.Kneeling down on the sand,scooping up a palm full,he let the cool sand run through his fingers. "Ayala....I'm lost..."whispered Zoiscite. (Don't rush me!!You'll know who this 'Ayala' is.) A tiny flash appeared before him.It was a young girl, who had to be no more than 15.She had long black wavy hair.A sad look on her face. "Ayala..." "Why so sad,Zoy??"whispered Ayala. "Do my eyes decieve me,or is it really you???"breathed Zoiscite. "You got to let the past go,Zoiscite..." "But...how can I??I said we'd get married one day....we'd be together forever....and...now..it's MY fault you're dead."sniffled Zoiscite. (*Gasp!!Zoiscite has an old beau???Runs from flying eggs*) Ayala stepped closer to him.Reaching out her hand to touch him... unfortunately....ghosts aren't very solid. "Ayala...I've missed you."whispered Zoiscite. "I know....I know we promised to be together forever....but we were only children,Zoiscite....bestfriends....it happened 5 years ago!!We thought we were in love....but we...only loved each other as a brother would a sister and vice-versa.And it's not our fault I'm dead...I died due to wild magic." whispered Ayala as she laid her hand on his cheek. "But..." "You love her..."said Ayala simply. "What?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Triton!!You're alive???"gasped Amy. Illusyon smiled.Her illusion was working perfectly.The nymph's own nightmares and memories would be her downfall... "You...are why,your mother is dead!!Why your father id dead...you're a curse..." "Liar...go away....you died 7 years ago!!I saw it with my own eyes!!" screamed Amy. "You are why I am dead....I hate you whole family...I loved your mother. Why couldn't she have returned my love???" "I have nothing to do with this!!!"screamed Amy.Tears falling from her eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A scream pierced the air. *Amy!!* realized Zoiscite. "She needs you...Zoiscite...Go to her."whispered Ayala. "Ayala...."began Zoiscite,his eyes sad. "Love her..." "I-I...will..."whispered Zoiscite,tears stinging his eyes,as he pushed through the bushes towards the screams. The ghostly figure of Ayala watched as her bestfriend left....in the 5 years she had been dead....Ayala smiled.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amy hugged herself....she felt like a frightened child all over again. Suddenly...the form of Triton changed....turning into...Greg!! "Greg!!"croaked Amy,tears running down her face. "Hello Amy.."said Greg coldly. Amy backed away....the man standing in front of her could not be Greg... he was dead!!Her mind screamed at her to just freeze the man in front of her,yet her heart stopped her from doing so.... "G-Greg....N-no...you're dead.."whispered Amy. "Yes..I'm dead...and it's all your fault..."sneered Greg. *No...no...the Greg she knew was kind,sweet and gentle....this wasn't him. Greg had been dead for almost 2 years.* "No!!It's not my fault..."whispered Amy. "It's your fault Amy...YOUR fault...why did you let them kill me??You said you'd protect me..you liar...your fault I'm dead and gone Amy..."he taunted. "Stop it!!!!!!"screamed Amy,holding her palms to her ears.Her feet felt the cold wet water of the sea.... "Amy!!!!"came a voice. Amy looked up with blurry eyes..."Zoiscite??* "Amy???"came Zoiscite's voice as he saw her standing in the shallow water of the ocean.He saw a man standing there....*Who is he??????* "Who is he??"asked Zoiscite approaching Amy. "S-Someone I knew..."whispered Amy. "Knew???You mean he's de-" "Yes."replied Amy a little too quickly. Illusyon frowned...no the man was not suppose to be here....her childlike face in a pout.*Mistress will certainly be angry at me now....I can't do this....Quiet!*scolded one part of her. Her eyes beginning to gleam red again....there were 2 facets of the young child,Illusyon....the innocent and the corrupted....currently...corrupted was under control. "So who??"asked Zoiscite. "Go on...why don't you tell him Amy??Tell him you're a murderer."mocked the man. "No!!!It wasn't my fault!!!"shouted Amy."I'm sorry!!!I'm sorry....Greg." whispered Amy dropping on her knees...as she sat in the water...the waves crashing onto her back. "Amy...what happened to him??" "He was my first love,Zoiscite...he was killed...by some people who still hated elementals...he was a normal Avalonian.....and I got him killed." whispered Amy."I've avoided this memory for so long......now...I'm afraid. Afraid that you'll die."whispered Amy looking up at Zoiscite with teary eyes. Zoiscite was taken back.*She was worried about..ME????* "Shush...we can leave this island...if you wish.I love you.."whispered Zoiscite. Amy looked with a smile...thankful..."I love you too.."she whispered. "But if I run away now....I'll never be able to face the future...I'd just be running away....for once....I want to see this through."said Amy. Zoiscite smiled down at her and nodded. "Greg.....I'm sorry....It's not my fault...not anyone's fault...I know that now...."said Amy to the illusion. Suddenly the illusion began to fade.....Illusyon gasped...*No!!!She's not feeling guilty anymore???* Amy and Zoiscite smiled at one another..... "That's correct Amy..."came a voice. Amy whipped her head around."GREG!!!"exclaimed Amy. This time....she saw a kinder face....one she'd always remembered.... "You finally understand....I never blamed you...it was never your fault." smiled Greg. "Greg...."whispered Amy. "Be happy,Amy....save Avalon...I'll always be here...."smiled Greg as he faded away..... Amy smiled...a tear trickled down her cheek.*Greg* Amy and Zoiscite nodded at each other....pulling off their jewels and touching the stones with each other.A flash of blinding blue light washed over the place....in it's place was now another medallion.A sapphire in the shape of a snow flake in the center. Illusyon jumped out of her hiding place and glared at both of them. "Who are you??"gasped Amy. "Illusyon."she snapped...her whole body glowing an electric blue..... Suddenly...Amy and Zoiscite found themselves on a small platform...and below was...spikes... Illusyon's lips curled into a smirk. Amy and Zoiscite huddled up close.Suddenly...demon's flew at them.... Amy gasped. "Ice storm, Freezing winds!!" The illusions froze and disappeared. "They're illusions!!"exclaimed Amy. One managed to attack Zoiscite.Luckily..Zoiscite managed to freeze him too. "They maybe illusions...but they sure FEEL real."mumbled Zoiscite rubbing his already swelling bruise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kayala chuckled..."Let's see you win this battle....elemental."laughed Kayala." Illusyon's face lit up into a cruel smile on her child face. Amy squeezed her eyes shut.Without the snow jewel,her powers were too weak and useless. *"Amy...the medallion...."*spoke a voice within her head. *Setsuna??* *The medallion...* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zoiscite was fast tiring and the illusions were overwhelming.The young girl across the gorge was the key....but how did they get across???? Startled out of his thoughts when Amy tentatively touched his hand.Jolting him back to reality.Amy smiled at Zoiscite.Zoiscite stared at her and realized.... Both of them focused what little energy they had left on the medallion.A great burst of blue light swept through a 30-yard radius. Illusyon screamed slightly,clutching her mind.The gorge disappearing. (If you haven't figured it out yet,the gorge is an illusion too!!) Amy and Zoiscite ran to the young girl. Kayala gasped at the sight the black pool showed her. "This will NOT do!!!"screeched Kayala disappearing. Illusyon stared up at the two and glared at them.Childishly,Illusyon fought back the only way she knew...kicking Zoiscite. Dropping the medallion,Zoiscite winced in pain,holding his ankle.The medallion rolled away. Amy was about to stop the child from kicking anyone else,when laughing was heard. Kayala stood there,holding the medallion in her hands.A evil smirk playing her face..... "Mistress!!"shouted Illusyon. Kayala smiled. "The medallion!!"exclaimed Amy with a gasp. "Yes....the medallion....thank you so much Illusyon...I never thought you had it in you...."cackled Kayala. "Give it back!!"shouted Zoiscite. "I don't see your name on it....Finders,Keepers you know....Illusyon... darling...you're free..."laughed Kayala,snapping her fingers. Illusyon's eyes returned to their natural smoky grey instead of the red or cloudy colour. "W-Wh-What?"came Illusyon's voice. "Tata."laughed Kayala fading away..... Illusyon blinked once....then twice....her eyes darting back and forth at the two Avalonians. Amy was shocked and Zoiscite was angry.Illusyon gave a little squeak and ran..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We lost the item..."whispered Zoiscite. Amy closed her eyes sadly and shook her head in regret."Now....Avalon's in danger..." "Don't lose hope,"came a voice. "Setsuna!"exclaimed Amy. "Hello,Amy...don't feel sad....the magic of love is far more powerful than any medallion anyday....never give up...never lose hope....I've come to send you back to Avalon."said Setsuna calmly. "Home..."whispered Amy. Setsuna nodded."You'll get that medallion back....I know you will..." whispered Setsuna as she waved her staff....a portal opened. After Amy and Zoisite had stepped through the portal....wind pickd up, a storm was coming....but there is always a new day after a storm...isn't there??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
