"Dead people receive more flowers than living one because regret is stronger than gratitude."
~Anne Frank
She could taste the sweetness of wildflowers capturing the scent of the wind in the crisp mountains air. Her mare neighed sniffing and forging back, hand raised she announced Prince Laen to halt.
" Aerial cover your ears, do not listen!" the wind whispered, "Prince Laen, I want you to make the earth rumble" she demanded focusing her eyes towards the cave of darkness. He nodded before the carpet of trees swayed and the earth rattled. "Stop!!!" mournful cries vibrated forcing Laen to lower his hands. His skill or power was that he was able to speak and control the earth. " Ivana?" the creature questioned.
" How do you know my mother?" Aerial screeched. " She helped me" the fairy answered in a silky smooth voice ringing, Soft melody filled the airbrushing her ears. " Aerial! Do not listen!" dull whispers echoed with a few clanking of swords. The world felt black as she fell from her stable.

Laen POV
A morning, the chilly breeze blew building up currents of roller-coaster loops as a happy bird sailed brushing it's wings against the morning air. A blackbird sang undisturbed through the heart of the wood flittering from to tree to tree, showed that there was nothing alarming there and it was safe.
The innocence showed on the sleeping face; yet we all knew that monstrous layer of her shall awaken when she is on full conciseness, the peaceful and serene dreams blocking out the dangers of the outside. The soft breathing making the world seems to stand still, there was barely any movement of her breasts rising and falling with each intake of air. Her silky baby face held an expression which I never understood.

Whistling down from her bust, as smoothly as the water from a waterfall, the bends of her hips, hidden by her cloak. Her lips; painted in red demanding me to lay mine upon hers. Oh! Amelia! why? why did I fall so easily? what an angel she is. I creased her cheeks softly placing a slight kiss upon her forehead.
She stirred snuggling against my chest hugging my warmth. OH Amelia!? Why? why hasn't her powers shown up yet?

Aerial POV
A flock of birds' scream rang, dipping it's wings through the ray of sunset-colored clouds the flock hustled speeding and flipping their wings flying off from danger. Gloom surrounded the air as the blossomed happy flowers withered as we foot forward. A dear ran past us it's fur dripped in blood, a silent gasp left my lips "Shh...." Laen whispered " It's not safe here we must leave! Selene... she's here" he declared peeping through the bushes. Fabricated and triangular clothing, holding weird signs, of huts were placed with people running through the thin cut of the curtain in the middle. Smoke bubbled from each shelter dusting the air with its poison.
"Who are they?" I questioned eagerly waiting for an answer. "Look closely" he answered nodding his head towards a young boy. Fragile, little and a really skinny boy stood stirring a mixture, the movement of a robot, his iris merely a dot, plates of black was colored surrounding the eye like dark circles but it wasn't the eyes that captured my thoughts, the movement, they all seemed to be caged like they are commanded to do something like robots.
Oh! Amelia! what has Selene done! " We have to save them." I growled " Yes we have to but not now it's not safe! Common" he retorted knotting his hand around my wrist and tugging me through the forest.

A creature spurt through one of the bushes. Wagging it's tail it snarled displaying it's perfectly sharp canines. " Oh! my!" Laen and I declared in unison.
I gasped at the terrifying thing as it grumbled. Mouth dripping with red lava-blood, his gigantic venomous fangs glistened in the light. It's red beady eyes dripped with anger. And I surely did not miss the gigantic meat tearing, razor-sharp teeth pointing at us. Squinting, the long tail as sharp as a knife with pointed spikes attached hugging its tail, his grabber-claw hand took tiny steps towards us.
Typhoeus, Oh! my! A creature meant to kill anything and was the strongest upon the other monsters but one thing is you cannot kill a Typhoeus for its strength and power. " What should we do?" I asked forging backward. " I don't know!" Laen muttered panting with a trembling voice. Oh, Amelia!
" Use your powers and kill that thing!" I snapped. On sudden force the creature bared, it's sharp claws ready to rip apart my throat.

She clapped her eyes closed while a sizzle of a knife clasped the air. " You better open your eyes princess" a breezy, polished and firm voice retorted. Laen clenched his fist shooting a deathly glare at the knight. She nods her head gawking at the sight of a strong muscular man standing, holding up a sword covered in blue blood. " The names Amarok" he declared smiling widely.
" Oh Prince Amarok, what are you doing here?" Laen growled with venom gritting his teeth. " Prince Laen it was funny meeting you here" Amarok chuckled laying a soft kiss upon Aerial's fingers. " We better leave it's getting dark" Aerial announced tugging Lean before screaming a goodbye to Amarok.

Aerial POV
She stood her fair skin like flakes of snow, with a dazzling smile stretched upon her red cheeks. Her eyes painted in a lovely blue shimmer. " Aerial!" she moaned tears coursing down her cheeks "Mother!" I claimed dashing towards her isolating and parting segments of clouds which disturbed my way. " Aerial," she repeated hugging and engulfing me with her warmth " Oh! How I missed this! I missed you, I missed your pretty smile which glowed my day." she continued
"Who helped you up with the speech mom? A little dramatic but I really missed your comforting gaze" I disturbed her perfect warmth of love. She poked my nose sitting upon a fluffy cloud. " Mother! Am I dreaming?" I questioned while she chuckled slightly " Yes, I'm not dead, I am the ruler of heaven but I can't come over to meet you as it goes over the rules" she retorted pain disturbing her intoxicating beauty.
" Listen well! You must kill Selene she has the power to kill anyone, anyone, and you have the power to stop her. Selene's story, you can find it with Amarok, the king of Terra." she commanded.
" Mother, what happened? you aren't dead?" I inquired creasing her cheeks as if I would know her presences. " Yes dear that's a long story" she chucked placing her palm over mine.
" I don't know how to tell you this but you Um.... You have a sister" a throaty voice answered.
