Animal
of SIM (7/18/01 4:27:09 pm) The fall of Proserpine...
The
moons did not bring light that day even though they shone brightly
in the sky. Darkness overcame the land like a shroud disbursing
itself upon the countryside. Animal had taken perch on a rocky
enclave just above a small house on the waterside. It was quite
serene really; he could see why someone would wish to live here
Wading
in the water was someone who he had loved since he first met her.
Not the sort of love one might have for a wife, but still a deep
love in his heart. She had been a friend and guide through many
of his tough times, and today he had to take her life. Animal
had hoped he wouldn’t have to confront her to fulfill the prophecy,
so it looked as though he would have to wait sometime before she
bedded down or napped.
Suddenly the woman reached down into the water and turned in his
direction. A not so small rock almost pegged him along side the
head and the woman yelled, “Animal, come down here now!!!”
He
was surprised because he had been very careful to make sure his
presence was not made know, but still she knew. Stepping from
the rocks he made his way down to the grass, not sure if he should
greet her or do what is was he came to do.
She
answered the question when she gave a hug to Animal and softly
whispered into his ear, “It is time, is it?” With total surprise
he looked to her, “how did you know? How could you have known?”
Slightly smiling she looked coy and probably wouldn’t tell how
she knew.
“Let
me put on my prayer dress young paladin. You allowed Kronae that
opportunity before taking her, aye?”
“What
?!?” He asked with surprise, but then recalled in his haste that
the mother had indeed been donning her dress, a dress given to
all those joining the sister when the joined. Somehow she had
known also and chose to sleep while the prophecy occurred.
A
minute later she exited from the changing area with a flowing
ivory dress and crimson cape. “I admire your courage Animal, we
chose well the fourth rose. I wish to pray to her when you bring
me to her.” With that she knelt before a small statue of the maiden
and began saying a silent prayer to her.
“KAL
VAS CORP” he yelled and suddenly she was gone. Walking out of
the small house Animal began walking down the beach slowly contemplating
what it was he had done. It was time to head for Yew to speak
with Roku. Turning back to face the house silently he whispered
to the house, “You have served her well young maiden, go and be
with her.”

Veil stumbled to the rose and held it as her thread moved into
it's place.
A Prayer spoken in slience formed in her mind,,
To be etched there forever.

After
Celes had collapsed and I put her to bed, I was still left wondering
as to what was the reason for her pain? My thoughts quickly ran
to an old post left by Roku in regards to BellaDonna. Only the
death of another mother could inflict such anguish into my sister
but it couldn't be BellaDonna Roku would never let that happen.
So
who could it be? I slowly removed the clothing she was modelling
for me, when I started to wonder who's clothing this was. It was
given to her by Avalon but why? Then it hit me like an energy
bolt to the head, it was Mother Kronae's old outfit. I remember
Celes told me that Avalon was holding on to it for the longest
time but one day he gave it to Celes. Celes was never sure why
she was given this but she had accepted the gift anyway. So then
that means that Mother Kronae is...dead!? Celes had always said
that she felt a special bond to Kronae but had yet to meet her.
I never understood this personnally but after reading a little
about Kronae in the past couple of days I can see why. These two
have very similar souls maybe that is why Avalon felt compelled
to give Celes that gift.
I
am not sure how long it has been now since I put my sister to
bed, but after taking a short nap in a chair I had placed beside
my sister, my eyes opened to an empty bed. I don't know where
she has gone but she is...gone. Please, if you see her could you
let me know I am very worried.
