Hey guys, I have a new story here that was based off a dream I had once about a year ago from one time I stayed up late. And it was a vivid dream, it looked like a new anime to me. I didn't write it all however I had such a clear vision. But I finally wrote this wonderful love story. The media that inspired me to write this was Sword Art Online, Let Me Go by Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger, HAL--An anime movie from Funimation, Safe Haven, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, and Happily Married type couples; including Kate Middleton and Prince William. I hope you guys like it! --KatDon
He was sitting at his desk, trying to focus on the lesson. His short, white-blonde hair was all he could feel between his fingers. He was feeling on edge, the teacher rambled on and on. He felt bored and looked around the room to see a girl staring at him. She had the same white blonde locks as he did and she looked quite pretty. He turned away but then out of curiosity, he turned back to see her was still looking at him, she smiled at her. He glanced away. But before the bell rang, he turns to her who was staring at him. Her small smile grew into a wide and wondrous grin. "Why is she staring at me? Why is she smiling at me?" He thought. The bell rang, he collected his things and rushed out of the room. In a fantasy world. A place reside of the domain. A royal family called the Raines ruled the land. But the family must sacrifice their own daughter. Teenage Kushinada is 15 years of age; she is not too comfortable to be sacrificed to the dragon, however her family said that is the way to sacrificed to the gods. Kushinada was isolated from the world for all her life: She wanted a life she never had like friendship or the love of her life. The dragon of the sacrificial ceremony is usually Orochi. The Raines got a new dragon, his name is Orochi. Fafnir seems fierce and powerful dragon, nevertheless he doesn’t seem comfortable in the environment he’s in, which confuses the guards. Although it wasn’t a good idea for Princess Kushinada to see the dragon until tomorrow; she sneaks out of her room to see it. When Orochi woke up, Kushinada wasn’t scared. Orochi look over at the beautiful princess. “Orochi, I always wish I could have a different life and not be sacrificed. But I have to go, my time has come.” said Kushinada sadly. She leaves as the dragon watched her go.
As Kushinada slept; her parents, King Jephthah and Queen Cassiopeia, talk about the ceremony as they wish the gods would allow their daughter to live. The next morning, Kushinada is dressed for the ceremony in white attire and prepares for the dragon, she is tied to a pole as Orochi is presented. The ceremony begins, tears filled Kushinada’s eyes but something strange happened. Orochi swooped up and kidnaps the princess. Taking her away from the ceremony. Kushinada is confused, but relieved for not being sacrifice. The princess and the dragon camped under the stars, before the princess fell asleep she muttered, “I still don’t know why you did it but thank you anyway Orochi.” The next day, Princess Kushinada wakes up to find Orochi gone so she searches out to find the dragon. But in the forest, she finds a boy with sea-green hair. He was beautiful, the strange boy looked at Kushinada as his eyes shimmered. Kushinada squints, “Orochi?” She asked. The boy smiled, “Orochi is my dragon identity. My name is George Bellero, I am a dragon shapeshifter.” said the mysterious boy. The princess gaped at the boy before dropping on her knees. “Unbelievable.” She muttered. At the palace; Jephthah and Cassiopeia are fretting about the ceremony and their daughter. They are devastated so the King got his weapons and his men to go after Orochi, kill him, and bring their daughter home. They wanted to kill after they learned Bellero was Orochi, but he sworn to protect Kushinada and refuse to not let anyone kill her. The gods seemed pleased by this as they decide to let Kushinada live because someone cares for her so much. It was all a dream for him, this boy is Deion Shepherd. 15 years of age. He lived in a lonely world called Utopia. On Utopia; Deion is a young man that pushes aside reality of his divorced family as well as his lost of a loved one. In reality, Deion is a loner with not much friends for his isolated attitude. That dream he had, he couldn't understand it and he wondered what does this mean.
This dream, little did he know, was where lovers share not just their lives and beds but actually their consciousness. Maybe they're always aware of the other, not just when communicating but always, or they actually feel exactly like the other, or something like that. The distress that was put on his life when he was going through the split up of his parents were in as he will never let the relationship get ripped apart like his parents did. Although his heart is healing, Deion still feels very broken from all the damage that was caused from the deteriorating relationship his parents had and still has to fake looking happy. Deion was too young when going through the divorce of his parents. At night he heard the weeping of his mother who was in pain and would cry to Deion instead of finding real help to get through to divorce. Deion has seen his parents relationship fall apart and fears it from happening to him. He already experienced being hurt by the loss of his loved one name Eurydice. It was an end of the year prom raged of music and dancing. But this prom night was going to take a darker turn, a man in a tuxedo came up to the microphone and said, "All right! It's time to announce the winners of this year's Prom King and Queen." He had a small envelope in his hand and rips it up. "And the winners are....DEION SHEPHERD AND EURYDICE YOUNG!" Everyone broke into an applause, Deion and Eurydice went to the stage to accept their crowns. Eurydice is given a bouquet of roses. She looked glowing, Deion and Eurydice held hands as they smiled at one another. Then, Deion leaned over and kissed Eurydice as the crowd cheers with joy. Just then, unexpected visitors crashed the party with loaded guns and started a massacre. They shot at other people who fell to the floor. Panic filled everyone else, they try to flee but some were shot in the process. Deion watched in horror as the people were being shot at. He saw Eurydice bleeding from the wound. Eurydice noticed Deion there and calls out, "Get away from here, Deion! Save yourself!" However she were all shot at as Deion screamed out her name. The shooters got caught and are in jail however Deion is haunted by Eurydice's death, blaming himself for not saving her.
One day, something is about to change his life forever: He is called by his mother. "Deion?" said Semele. "Yes, mom?" Deion hollered. "Come down here, there's something I would like to speak to you about." said Semele. Deion immediately came down and Semele beckons him to the couch. "What about?" asked Deion. "There is an arranged meeting with Ariana Weaver for a matrimony." said Semele. Deion seemed troubled by this, "Matrimony?" He asked. Semele nodded, "Yes, she is around your age. Very kind-hearted. And very good looking fellow." She assured him. Deion didn't seem to be so eager about this, "I don't know, Mom. I don't think I'm ready for that yet." "I know, I mean in case you wish to have a matrimony." Nikita said. "What about never?" suggested Deion. Semele sighed, "Honey, you are young and I want you to enjoy life but I also want you to have a happy life with someone special. As they say, 'the cure to heart break is to fall in love again'. But you don't have to if you don't want to." explained Semele. Deion nodded, since his first love Eurydice was killed and he became depressed since her death. And they have been good friends before they fell in love and he was never the same. "Thank you, I like to meet Ariane Weaver." Deion said with enthusiasm. Semele smiled, "I think you'll like him, you really will." She said. The next day, Deion was to meet Ariana and he begins to fret: "What if she finds me weird? What if Ariana and I don't like each other?" Just then, he could see someone reading alone and he proceeds to enter. Deion comes before her nevertheless she didn't look up and was too engrossed with his book. That was pretty rude, there was a guest here and she did not look up. "Um, hello?" He called. The young lady looked up and looked surprised, she placed the book down to face the boy.
She looked at him with a dubious expression. "Wait, your Deion Shepherd?" She asked. Deion looked shocked, "Your Ariana Weaver?" He asked. Stunt at this, Deion looked red face and looked away from her, "Oh geez, great! Just great." He said with nervous tension. "Did I do something wrong?" asked Ariana. Deion looked back at her, "No, the opposite. I never knew you were that pretty." He said. Ariana smiled, "Oh, thank you. That's very sweet." She said. Deion was shy around her, "Um, so...What do you want to talk about?" He asked. Ariana shrugged, "I--I don't know. I just think you look nice in that outfit." She complimented. "Thanks, so do you." Deion said with timidness. They eventually got comfortable and begin to talk with one another, not realizing what was ahead of them. Someone knocked on the door and a man's voice called out, "Lady Ariana. Come down here, hurry. And bring Deion." Ariana looked suspicious but glanced at Deion, who shrugged his shoulders. They head downstairs as they could hear whispering and walk in to see the light lit up. "SURPRISE!!!!" A whole crowd of family, friends, and allies shouted in a chorus. Ariana was indeed surprised, but there was a smile on her face. She had a smile on her face! Hugs to her family. Mingling in the celebration, fun was all around. Deion looked at Ariana, she looked so happy! How she danced, had cake and opened presents. It was the best day for her. Just then, he had an idea that would make it even better. He used a fork to click on his glass, loud enough for everyone to hear and calls out, "May I have your attention please? Everyone?" Soon everyone turns around to look at him, even Ariana did with curiosity. Deion looked a little shy but musters the courage, "I um I didn't get Ariana a present, and I felt very bad. But now I do, however it's not wrapped in a box." He said.
He walked over to Ariana and said, "Ariana Weaver, you are the kindest person and I want to....I want to make it up to you..." Then, Deion bowed with one knee in the stance of a knight. "Please, let me be your disciple. I'll do whatever it takes." He said. The crowd gasps, Ariana was so shocked that she begin to laugh and laugh. Deion was shocked, he felt like a fool. She thought this was funny? He was so mad that he could spit but he thought someone touched his shoulder and looked up to see Ariana smiling: "I'm sorry Deion. I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing because I was surprised. No one in my life has ever asked me that. Of course you can be my disciple." She said. Deion's face brightened up, "Really?" He asked. Ariana took out a clean silverware as she used a spoon as if it was a sword when a queen declares a squire a knight, "I hereby decree thee, Deion Shepherd, to thy disciple and partner." announced Ariana. Everyone applauded and it died down as a slow song appeared. Deion stood up, "Would you like to dance with me?" He asked. Ariana looked nervous, "I'd be delighted, my disciple." And they waltz together, hand in hand but Ariana felt something like a sort of rage inside of her. She felt scared for something and it horrified her. She didn't know what this feeling was and memories haunt her. Deion took noticed, "You OK?" He asked. Ariana nodded, "Yeah, it's nothing. Sorry." She fibbed. "Dizzy?" Deion guessed. "Yeah." Ariana said. "OK, maybe all this is making you woozy. Maybe you should rest for awhile if that's OK." Deion said. Ariana remembered her past where she witnessed her mother in a domestic violent marriage with her father, who had also hurt her when Ariana was a child. Now Ariana has been a victim of domestic violence, possibly at the hands of her lover name Heath Gilbert. However, Ariana has hidden her eye bruise well, with makeup and she’s wearing a cheesy fake grin while joking around, pretending she’s okay. Heath apologizes to her by buying her jewelry.
Ariana sarcastically calls him a good man for doing this, when it reality it makes nothing better. But now, Ariana can't take it anymore. She was sick of what Heath was doing to her and she will not stand for it. During her time when she was abused by her boyfriend; Ariana was crying immensely over him. Ariana has been doing her best to try to get him to listen — screaming, deceiving and bleeding for him. Even after all that he still will not listen. Ariana does not want his help this time, maybe never again. Why would she? After Heath has tormented her daily even when she had thought he would stop and she was at wits end. He is messing with her mind. Heath is making it harder to believe in herself, basically making it harder for her to keep fighting him. What a jerk! Ariana is losing her will to fight against the abuse, but she knows she has to break away from Heath's hold on her, so she continues to fight. After Heath is feeding her lies she finds herself almost giving up again. Ariana can’t keep living like this with him in control of her. She must escape from his power before she gives up because she cannot take anymore of living like this. Ariana doesn't want to die, but she can't keep living like this. He can scream and torment her all he wants but she is going to escape from him. Ariana can’t keep being suffocated by him, she needs to breathe. She is metaphorically rising out of the sea of pain he has caused her. This is her last time getting forced to almost give up. Ariana will no longer take this anymore and will be free from her prison. She has had enough of the pain and torment of being in this relationship and is ready to get out of her 'prison' as she won’t live like this anymore. Ariana won’t be dealing with the pain of the relationship anymore and she will be free to live her life. Heath was arrested but he vow to get Ariana back one day if he can.
When she first met Deion, Ariana made it seem like she just wasn’t that type to fall in love, and she’s telling him to not get his hopes up because she’s not going to fall in love with her. Ariana scoffed at the thought of love because it’d been a painful experience for her in the past, and she wants to shield herself from that happening again. They’re close to falling in love but Ariana won’t allow herself to love him back. Deion doesn’t want to break her heart, he just wants to love her. Deion hopes to amend her broken heart. They had a fight with one another, which caused her to ignore Deion who is just there to comfort her. Deion can tell the reason Ariana’s so reluctant to love is because she’s been hurt before and she doesn’t want it to happen again. She tries to smile away the pain, but he knows what’s going on. He wants to make her feel better. But learning from Ariana's parents of how their daughter was in an abusive relationship with a lover that wronged her. Deion found Ariana and promises her that his love will be easy, painless, and calming to the troubled past of Ariana. She’s scared he’s just going to break her heart. Deion wants to let her know that he wants them to live it in happiness. "There is just so much you can take before your heart gives up. It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all." He said, quoting a line from Tennyson. Ariana is touched and embraced him, crying tears of joy. She found someone that cares about her so much and she will never be abused ever again. Even her parents approve of this. As Deion is working when he heard classical music and went to see where the music is coming from. He entered a room where he found Ariana is waltzing alone. He enters as he looks at her mesmerizing self. "What are you doing in here?" Deion asked. Ariana stopped for a moment, she strolls over to him with a smile. "Dancing to this song, it's pretty is it not?" She replied. Deion listened to the song and nodded, "It sounds nice. You dance very well." remarked Deion.
Ariana answered back with a grin, "Thanks, practice makes perfect." She lends out her hand, "Would you like to try it?" She asked. Deion looked nervous but Ariana hold onto him and said, "C'mon, just one second." Deion sighed, giving in. Ariana lead him to the floor, she stood there with him as she instructs him of what he needs to do. Deion awkwardly placed his hands on her shoulder and then in her hand. During the waltz, Deion accidentally stepped on her foot, he then winced with shame. "I'm sorry." He said. "No, my bad! I went too fast." Ariana apologized. Deion felt really bad, "Ugh, I'm so stupid--" He muttered, he was about to pull away but Ariana placed her hand on his shoulder, "Uh, uh. C'mon, one little screw up. No blood, no foul. It's all good." She said. While they waltz; Ariana looked at him and said, "Hey Deion." Deion looked at her, "Yeah? What is it?" He inquired. She was silent for a moment before she admitted: "What if I told you that I'm Princess Kushinada?" asked Ariana. Deion looked at her with surprise. "What did you say?" He asked. Then, Atlas looked at her eyes, Tamsin looked back at him in his eyes and then she did something she never imagined. Leaning towards him, she pressed her lips against his. Deion was shocked when they were suddenly teleported to another world: Fortunate Isles! Deion & Ariana were on a boat, they arrived to a land but among the shore; there were prickly branches of vines. They found the clearing where there wasn't any prickling vines and landed there. While walking about in town, they looked around as they saw a tall Japanese tower. It was red and black on the rooftop. People sitting outside of a cafe. "So, where are we going?" asked Deion. Ariana smiled at him, “I can take you on an adventure,” She said. "Really?" asked Deion. Ariana nodded, "The world you don’t know exists is more beautiful than you can imagine." She said, she was referring to Fortunate Isles.
There was a hipster kind of man in a wide-brimmed hat, tanned skin, starry purple colored vest and dark blue pants. He was playing his guitar but when he saw Deion and Ariana pass by where he was, he stops and said, "Hey lookie here, is this fair lady yours?" Deion looked at him funny, "What did you say?" He asked. The man grinned, "She's not yours?" He teased playfully. "No, she's mine." said Deion, clueless. The man laughs as he took off his hat and bowed, then puts it back on. "Your happy on your holiday, you feel free and happy. This is how you two should enjoy the moment you’re living." said the man. He begin to play his guitar as he said, "A way of seeing the world that was once foreign. Truly free recognize no authority, no masters holding leashes. You two are free to live as we chose and the only real limitations are those you impose upon yourselves. You’ve lived your whole life letting your thoughts motivate your actions; are you ready to be primal? I can be your guide through a new world." He said. The man begin to play something that sounded like a love song, "Had you thought of life was what and how you viewed it but now realizes that there is so much more? This world can elevate one’s mind in a different perspective. With the new heights you've reached, you begin to have a change of heart." He stopped playing and managed to get Deion and Ariana all snuggled while he said, "Here we got a man and a woman where they get a private island and can get away from the people who don’t like their relationship." Deion looked surprised, "No, it's not like that." He said. The man give him a knowing smile, "Whatever it is, it's a lot of trouble in your life?" asked the man. Deion thought about it and shrugged, "Yeah...." He said. The man slapped him on the back, "There you go!" He said. Deion winced and gives the man a look but he was too busy playing his guitar, the man said as he played: "Have faith in what you want to do. Two different people but someday, one family."
He stopped to make a frame like pose with his hands towards Deion and Ariana, who blushed, but the man didn't stop. "They don’t have to feel the pain of being alone as they had for their entire lives before meeting each other. Now that they know each other, you two would be happy spending time together." explained the man. Deion and Ariana looked at each other, they walked away with the man calling: "Catch that buzz, you two crazy love birds!" He laughed and continue to play his guitar. They found an inn where they decide to clean up a little and get things done. After completing the rest of her work; Ariana is taking a bath alone. She kept thinking about her feelings to resolve them would cause some confusion of whether the relationship should be saved or stuck out. However, this is nothing new: visions of them being together and happy, all of the moments that they had together are what she wants. And she's thinking about what could've been. She knew this was it, it was all going to change, and she began to have absent minded second thoughts about whether this will all go to plan. She pretended to get what she wanted to be happy. But her parents and other people have doubted her unrealistic ambitious dreams, telling her that would never happen. "Is it OK to live in an average life? Do you need to pretend you are something you’re not? Will I get my chance of wed to Deion one day? Do I have the power in my hands? If he needs me; I will be there....All the time. In a frequent manner......I’ll be there when needed." She thought. Then she realize what she was thinking and shake her head. "What am I saying? He's not the object of my affection, he's my friend." Ariadne muttered, she sank underneath the bath water. Afterwards; Ariana and Siegfried were working but Ariadne then stops him with a question: "Can I ask you something?" asked Ariadne, stopping Siegfried. Siegfried looked at her curiously. "What is it?" He asked. Ariana looked embarrassed but managed to ask this, "Would you like to go out with me?" She inquired. Deion looked surprise and smiled, "Yes. I would." He said. However they cannot see each other and are nervous of falling apart.
Deion still feels intense guilt over his parents' divorce is his fault, and thus is still unwilling to fully open up to Ariana. However, Ariana has a feeling that something is impeding Deion from assuming he is somehow the one for her. Even though he is a troubled boy Ariana still feels the powerful vibe Deion exudes. But then, the relationship used to be very meaningful to them but now that it’s over it doesn’t mean anything to them since they struggled. It is so forgotten that there isn’t any trace of it at all anymore. Even though their relationship ended, she still hasn’t forgotten how they broke up and goes back to the sadness of it. Ariana trying to get rid of what happened in her past relationship and let go of all her past memories. When she came back, Deion wasn’t there. The place she went back was gone along with Deion’s memory. The relationship meant a lot to him and he wished that they could’ve stayed together. Nothing can make them go back to the way they were before because words are too late to mend everything now. That's when things in Lotus Eater made them re think things; Ariana has changed her previous feelings on love and now believes that it's never too late, reflecting how she feels with Deion and the faith she has despite the relationship that was struggling without one another. They have let go her past and broke free from the memories that held them back. During a struggle against Heath, who found Ariana; Deion was bleeding when Heath escaped as Ariana tried to help him but both were remembering their lives with one another was hardships. Just then, A guardian appeared, much to the couple's surprise, and heals Deion. Ariana is relieved and the the couple embraced one another. "I thought I'd lost you." said Deion. "Me too, I'm glad." said Ariana. They pulled away from one another and looked at each other. "I um..." Deion stuttered but Ariana said it, "I love you." Deion looked at her, she was smiling at him as she did before. Deion smiled back, "I love you too." He admitted. They lean over at one another and kissed each other on the lips.
While lying in bed all clothed, their arms entwined; they started to talk of the future. Then, Ariana suggest they have a child of their own: "Maybe we could have a kid....A little girl." She said. "Now?" asked Deion. Ariana thought for a moment before crying out, "No, wait..." and then she jumped off the bed. "Yes." She went out as Deion cried out, "Wait!" He was unsure what she might be up to. Ariana came back with a pen and paper, she begin to write down on the notepad. "Our kid could be a little girl." She said. "Seriously?" Deion asked. Ariana ignored him as she continued to write, "Our little girl would never give up." She said. Deion peered over her shoulder to question this of whatever it is she is doing, "What is this?" "Wishes, I was once told that if you write down wishes on what your future child would be." explained Ariana. Deion looked amazed, "Oh, that's cool." He admitted. Deion and Ariana came up with more ideas for their future kid: "She could have your beauty, and my brains." suggested Deion. Ariana gave him a look, "What's wrong with my brains? I'm smart too, you know." She said, sassing him. Deion held up his hands in defense, "I'm not saying that." He said. Ariana looked at him, a sneaky grin appeared and then she said: "OK, that's it. You ask for it!" She wrote something as she was satisfied of what she wrote, "She can have half of mine and half of yours." said Ariana. Deion sighed, "Fair enough." He admitted. Then he thought of another idea. "She can be beautiful." said Deion. Ariana smiled and wrote this down but added another, "Sweet." She said. "See things differently than others." said Deion, Ariana nodded as she wrote this down. They were thinking more ideas: "Whimsical." said Ariana. Deion raised an eyebrow, "Whimsical?" He asked. Ariana nodded, "Yeah, to dream." She said. "Honest to a fault." countered Deion. "Understanding." replied Ariana. They were writing more: "Have a big heart?" asked Deion. They looked at each other for a moment and then nodded happily, "Yes." They said.
Ariana then thought of another that seemed strange, "She'll be the girl on fire within morning...." She said. "Huh?" Deion asked. "....And the girl to cast water from the moon...." said Ariana, still writing. "What?" Deion tried to question this. ".....She will create miracles from the stars in the sky." muttered Ariana. "What is that supposed to be?" Deion said, wanting to know. Ariana smiled, "Work with me, dear." She teased. Finally, they took all the notes and put in a lavender colored box that says, "Wishing Box". As the two were asleep in the Fortunate Isles; something magical happened. And then, the "Wishing Box" was found but it was bigger and out came a little girl with glitter on her body. "Hi." She said. "Hi." said Ariana. "My name is Hazel." said the girl, and she begin to change the lives in Deion and Ariana, who begin to renew their lives in Utopia. Hazel begin to redeem those in Utopia that was broken and lost. There's something unique about Hazel; she has sun, moon, and stars tattoos on her ankles. When she uses the power from the sun on her left ankle, she has fire powers. When she uses power from the moon on her right ankle, she can control water. And the stars, she can miracles happen in tomorrow and tonight. She had healed the sick, helped the broke-hearten once, saved the lives of innocent people. Everyone is amazed that this little girl is something special. Hazel knows that Deion thinking about how Eurydice is no longer there, and is up above in Heaven. Hazel begin to comfort him, "Papa, you won’t let the grief get the best of you. You will get through this. Even when you are alone, you have to realize the spirit of their loved one is with you wherever you go. No matter what people say about the death, and no matter the amount of time it takes you to grieve, it’ll be okay." Deion nodded, "Yeah. I know. Thanks Hazel." He said. He decided to have a barbecue with his family and friends however Hazel helps out too.
They got the friends and family to come but while at the barbecue; Hazel noticed that Deion's parents are resenting to once another and she uses her powers to make them friends however it got bad when Deion's father's girlfriend enters. Then, Deion's parents begin to argue with one another. Deion got mad, he lost his temper and begin screaming: "THIS IS WHAT I HATE ALL ABOUT YOU!!!! YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS FIGHTING WITH ONE ANOTHER!!!! I HATE THIS, I HATE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!!!" Deion was so mad that he ran to his room and locked it behind him. Then he felt the door knocking and managed to stay quiet. But heard Deion's voice, "Papa...I know that you're still there. People have probably wondered why you didn’t even come out. I'm often told to be brave, even when it feels hopeless. I'm always been there for you." It was quiet for a moment, then Deion said, "Hazel. I don't want you to waste your time worrying about me. Instead go and be surrounded by people. I believe that you will be able to feel the warm feeling of happiness that I was not able to feel." Hazel can hear his thoughts are in distressed: He is still not free from fear; he is still not free from what he believes is his power. Deion is not safe with her. He is afraid he will hurt someone as good and pure as her. Hazel can see his thoughts and then she has an idea, "Don't you wish for a better life? Your first love resurrected. And your family living a happy life." Hazel said. Deion thought for a moment about it, that would be nice as he nodded for a second. "So, what are you waiting for? Take the wheel." said Hazel. Deion bowed his head as he thought for a moment again, "I never had a good life didn't I?" He finally said. However, Deion clenched his hand into a fist. "But I still had something back--My love for Ariana." He cried. Then door cracks as Hazel and Ariana can feel them as they begin to step back but the two can hear Deion's voice: "Ariana was abused by someone that was her lover but he didn't treat her as a lover--It was more like a scapegoat slave." He said.
"What kind of lover would do that to his or her partner? I would never do that to Ariana, she's been abused once--Never again she will go through that! Ever!" ranted Deion with passion in his voice. During this time; Ariana felt her heart at its core begin to stir of a strange emotion. Deion continued, "I loved someone once but she was killed in front of her. I'm not losing Ariana like I did once with my first love. I love her, I want to be with her and you too Hazel." Crack, crack, crack went the door. Ariana's heart felt like the strings were being pulled gently, her eyes watered a little and she trembled. The door breaks as Deion embraced Ariana and they both kissed. Deion's parents are touched by this, Ariana's parents are overwhelmed with the tearful emotions of this kind of love. Even Hazel was happy to see this too. But day by day, the sun and moon are fading from her ankles, even the stars there too. It turns out that Hazel is going back to the moon where she will be reincarnated as their daughter. Deion and Ariana are sad by this but they understood. They spend their last moments with her before she saw the moonlight and she steps into it. Hazel waves goodbye, Ariana waves tearfully and Deion waves a sad farewell too but he's happy for her. Hazel fades and there was a constellation flying to the dark sky. The next day, Deion and Ariana found a necklace of a sun, moon, and stars. It was from Hazel who left them a message: "Mama, Papa. This is a gift for you as a way to remember me. When I am reincarnated as you get married, please give this to your daughter. I love you two so much, thank you for letting me into your lives and changing so many people's ones too. You taught me so much so keep faith. I love you and I will see you soon. Love Hazel."
In the future, when they grew up; Ariana and Deion got married. They even have a daughter who looked just like Hazel and they gave her a name that was inspired by their made up wonder child: Eliza Hazel Shepherd. When Eliza turned 7 years old; her parents gave her the necklace of the sun, moon, and stars. As she was 7; she looked like Hazel in a way. She went to her first day of school where she says goodbye to her parents. At school; Eliza was sitting at her desk, trying to focus on the lesson. Her long, white-blonde hair was all she could feel between her fingers. Eliza was feeling on edge and looked around the room to see a boy staring at her. She had the same white blonde locks as he did and she looked quite pretty. He turned away but then out of curiosity, he turned back to see her was still looking at him, she smiled at her. He glanced away. But before the bell rang, Eliza turns to the boy who was staring at her. His small smile grew into a wide and wondrous grin. Eliza smiled back at him, showing her grin at him. Someone was watching this, it was the guitar playing hipster man. He was old age and smiling a toothless grin as he said, "Here we go again." He laughs and continues to play the guitar. And so the power of love went around like a carousel again!
The End
