Part V: The hateful spirit and the solemn one.

"Relm....Relm?" Relm slowly opens his eyes, to see Alexandra leaning over him,

Relief enters his face "Alexandra?" Relm's eyes quiver, as he smiles,

Alexandra looks as if she is about to cry, "Relm; I should be dead..." Relm tries to comfort her with a look but he passes out again, she looks up with sorrow "should I be dead?" she thinks to herself wondering what fate had planned for her;

Courtnie looks to the show window, diamonds and jewels reside within, she places her hands on the window, "these look interesting let's go examine them closer,” she says with curiosity to Jared, she gives Jared the bags from the other stores with a smile

Jared looks down smiling "Yes princess!" he grins more "any other ways you need me to help?" he says in a lecherous tone,

Alexandra's tears fall upon Relm, "Relm....? Are you okay? Relm!?"

"Yes! This one!" Courtnie picks up and aquamarine necklace, "this will work so well.., I would like to get a few birth stones... not like I don't have the money... I'll get Two Aquamarine one for me and Relm, " she gets the man tries to take the aquamarine from the display case and realizes only one is in stock, Courtnie disappointed looks at the man with concern "Guess Relm will get the only one... I'll have to wait" she looks down” One emerald! They are so pretty...I've always wanted emeralds, " the shop owner takes out an emerald necklace for her, still looking down she gasps “I want Three amethyst I've always loved that jewel!" the shop owner grabs three amethyst necklaces happily, she smiles and looks up at him for a second then back down "One onyx... One opal a turquoise, one sapphire, one garnet, one agate Oh! And two topaz!!" She says with enthusiasm she looks down "that will do it" she then gives the shop keep some money "this should cover it" she says with a smile, "If there is more, take it as a tip,” happily she begins to walk away as the shop keeper thanks her smiling,

"Jared takes a look at the birthstone opal, "Did you get me a birthstone as well?" He asks with a smile and lecherous thoughts showing in his face,

"Don't mistake my intentions Jared, I bought one for a lot of reasons not for you as of yet, and I am not yet sure what it is for fully, I feel as if it's needed" they slowly walk out of the store and down the street Courtnie jubilantly steps with happiness, she then stops with loss of self "brother??" Courtnie touches her hand to her head, "Jared we have to go NOW!" She says with anxiety

"Wait...!" Jared says trying to balance all the things Courtnie has bought,

Alexandra leans over Relm and takes him in her arms, "Relm....Relm.... you saved me..." Alexandra begins to cry

Courtnie begins in a run to the castle, Jared can't catch up she runs through the streets past the cars and finally makes her way to the castle she pushes through the double doors, and enters the lobby. "Brother?" she thinks for a second as she closes her eyes "The forbidden wing!" she says out loud in realization,

Alexandra hears a voice behind her, "you do not know that boy... nor do you know our power" she turns and sees the ghost in the golden dress

Alexandra looks up tearfully, "WH-who are you?" She examines the ghost as she vanishes, when the doors open, it's Courtnie,

Courtnie strides toward Alexandra, "Alexandra! What happened? Courtnie kneels down and quickly takes Relm from Alexandra "Little brother? Little brother??"

Relm softly lifts his eyelids, "Big sister?"

Courtnie throws her head in his chest, "Oh little brother I'm so glad you're okay!" Courtnie says with relief as she hugs him harder,

"Sister I'm fine... I just fainted..." Relm says weakly, Relm's eyes fall into slumber, Courtnie smiles with relief, he is okay,

Relm Awakens in his quarters, everyone sits around him awaiting, hoping he will come to,

Courtnie smiles "Good, you're finally awake..." Relm confusedly looks to the walls and the ceiling, “Relm what's wrong?" Courtnie says kneeling beside Relm's bed; she puts her hand on his forehead,

"He's been strange ever since..." Alexandra's voice fades into the distance, Relm sees white...a woman appears in his room; once again the ghostly woman looks toward Relm, "Relm....? Is that your REAL name? “He remembers their first meeting, on the roof, with Doran next to him, and the words that came out of her mouth when he heard nothing, "Relm...? Is that your REAL name?" the sentence burned into his mind, kept echoing, "What is your real name!?" Her eyes open widely "Who are you!?" then she turns putting her hand through her long reddish golden brown hair, "Who... who am I? She then turns looking at him with a confident gaze,

Relm blinks, as the white light intensifies, “I am...Relm...I think?" he mumbles puzzled, "I am me..."

"You still do not understand!" Her voice echoes like lightning in his mind, as the room fades back to the same old wood color

"Relm! Are you even listening!?" Courtnie's voice returns to the room,

"I still don't understand?" Relm questions the voice echoing in his head, Relm's eyes get serious as Courtnie's get frustrated and anxious,

"You do not understand? Brother what is going on with you?” Courtnie says with concern and frustration, "should we take you to the clinic how hard did you hurt yourself?"

Relm sits up, "No I just need some air, I've been inside too long " he says with a smile, Relm Walks onto the roof and notices the rain, a bittersweet revelation, it looks the same as always for an early may day, Relm sighs "Doran Where'd you go?" Relm looks up into the rain pouring on his face,

"Looking for me?" Doran says as he jumps from the platform above the door to the rooftop, "You didn't sense me this time..." he smiles "Guess I must be a ninja..." He walks toward Relm slowly,

Relm looks back and smiles, "Doran... I'm glad you're here!" Relm runs toward Doran and hugs him tightly, and slowly looks toward his eyes smiling, "I missed you!" Relm notices Doran is wearing a green shirt and black skinny jeans, as his belt shines in the moonlight,

"Relm?" Doran looks down, "you missed me?" He questions peacefully "that much?" Doran looks up with a grin "I actually," Doran reaches into his pocket "Was sent to give this to you...." his hand reaches out with a light blue stone on a necklace, Relm lies incrusted upon it,

Relm holding it smiles "Aquamarine" he says quietly.

"Brother!” Courtnie appears; coming up the stairs, "Sorry about making you feel uneasy when you were tired, btw: I got a birthstone for you... “She holds an aquamarine, no name incrusted upon it, "I” her eyes widen as she sees the birthstone with Relm’s name on it, "Where in Ireland did you get that!?"

Doran looks at the sky nonchalantly "New western Ireland,” he looks down, "special order and everything just for Relm, I just delivered it,”

Courtnie looks away bitterly, "oh...well whatever; brother I got birthstones earlier and...-"

Relm walks toward Courtnie; she stops her sentence in confusion "Did you get... Emerald? “Relm says happily,

Courtnie looks in shock as Relm grabs the emerald necklace from her hand, "wha?" Courtnie begins to get frustrated "But! I..." She says realizing... if Doran gets one she has to give one to Jared, "Ewww" she thinks... but Relm's mind seems to be set, she realizes she can't stop it now

Relm puts his finger to the side of his head "hmmm I sense you were born in May 09th at 4:00 pm it seems to be a perfect anniversary of your birth... though I don't have your inscribed name, this should suffice " Relm says with a smile,

Doran looks amazed and confused at the same time, "How'd you??"

Relm replies quickly "T-R-A-I-N-I-N-G" then he takes Doran's hand and opens it, putting the emerald necklace inside, "hmm" Relm turns around and looks back at Doran shyly, Doran gets the Idea, puts the emerald necklace in his pocket and takes the Aquamarine necklace and fastens it around Relm's neck, then quickly grabs the Emerald necklace from his pocket and puts it on.

Doran joyfully looks at Relm "How does it look?"

Relm looks down and back up "Like it was made for you....at this very moment in time" Relm says in nostalgia,

Doran looks at Relm seriously, "Relm I...." Doran's Eyes intensify

"Brother.... “Courtnie says impatiently, "It's time we went back... “She turns toward Doran "I wouldn't wanna keep you from another deliver Doran,”

Doran looks back at her happily, "Actually I'm all done with Deliveries for a while,

Courtnie grins, "Well then could you get Yumiko from the Eastern province of Ireland, I have something I need to explain to her, A land that used to be Japan, " she looks upward "She is somewhat of a Nobel princess, I'd like to speak with her anyway but also give her this, " she hands Doran a letter nonchalantly “Now you have a job " she says happily, Courtnie pulls Relm by the hand "come on brother we need to talk to Alexandra and the others, " she says happily,

Relm looks back "Doran... comes back soon! Please!" Relm looks down, “you’re someone special to me..." Relm smiles as Doran confidently looks at him while he jumps off the roof,

Relm pulls away from Courtnie in anxiety, and runs to the edge looking down to find only empty streets below, "You are dear to me, my Relm" the words ring in Relm's ears, he knows Doran will be back,

"I lo-" A whisper rings in his mind

"Are you sure?" he turns to see the ghostly woman again,

"Of course!" Relm says confidently, Courtnie runs to Relm's side,

"Little brother watch out!" Courtnie says with terror in her voice,

"RELM!" the ghost's voice rings out "I am your love "Kiana", that emotions summons me from exclusion,"

"Remember the past?" Relm looks down at his shoes..., "The past? A woman?" Relm quivers "I would never!” Courtnie latches on to him,

"Brother she was inches from you!" her eyes determined, Relm goes with her now to quell her feelings

"A...woman?” he thinks with nausea "I fear she was closer to me than women in my life in this life" He says anxiously,

Courtnie puts her hand on Relm's shoulder, "Brother let's leave this place... Kay?" She says smiling hoping he will be okay,

They then return inside, "So Kiana is here...." A mysterious woman with a ponytail whispers as she puts her gloved hand through her blonde hair , and puts her other hand on her old style corset, "She's tied to that boy, " she looks down "He couldn't be the man she loved Len?" she looks toward the sky, "Then who...? It couldn't be!" She gasps "Is he???" the woman vanishes into the wall of the castle, Kina looms above, worried for Relm's sake, and maybe her own, then Kiana looks up toward the full moon, and sings like she does every full moon since Relm entered the holy academy.

"Brother... I don't think..." Courtnie looks around alarmed, as she clasps onto Relm's arm,

Relm looks down at Courtnie, "What's wrong?" Relm asks with hesitation

Courtnie shivers, "Th-the creepy singing has started again! Don't you hear it!?" she says with nervous hesitation,

"It's probably the wind..." Relm shrugs, "but it is a pretty sound," They continue down the hall to the dining room where Alexandra and Jared are; the ponytail wearing ghost woman pokes her head out of the wall,

"Who are you boy?" she says with hostility

"Ah Relm you're back!" Jared says happily

Alexandra looks around cautiously, "something seems awfully familiar..." She says with skepticism, She crouches into a fighting stance and walks next to the wall,

"Sister?” the pony tail wearing ghost whispers, "Is that sister Aarkon?" The ghost with the ponytail looks down, "Sister...Aarkon... the one Kiana murdered..."the ghost woman thinks for a second, "Prince Relm, is Kiana Raybrant's ancestor..., I'm almost positive,... he must be, " She then dives into the floor avoiding Alexandra, she then comes up in the middle of the dining room, "Hello Relm....or should I say Kiana!" She lunges at Relm and he swiftly dodges her elastic body,

Alexandra looks down dazed, "Yuri?" she mutters as she shakes it off, "Yuri! Please stop....I need to say....she won fairly?" Alexandra says with confusion

"Sister why would you say such a thing???" Yuri says infuriated and raw

Relm looks down thinking of Doran when he is in danger, he closes his eyes, and begins to sing the Requiem in a celestial tone, and Kiana’s spirit converges into Relm's body

"Brother are you okay?" Courtnie says with worry "what is going on?" Relm looks ahead as he sings as female soprano voice, as his eyes glow white, out of his voice a ball of holy beams at Yuri, "Yuri...it is time to forget the past...."

Yuri flips and falls back into the floor, and through it,

"Relm Why'd you!?" Kina leaves Relm and returns to singing upon the castle,

"What happened?" Relm utters as he holds his forehead with his hand,

"Relm listen to me!?" Alexandra Screams

Courtnie turns in rage "Alexandra ...Don't you DARE yell at my brother!!" Courtnie looks at Alexandra as if she is about to strike...deep in her eyes,

Alexandra turns, "I'm leaving hope you all have fun defending yourselves; I can see you all do it very well, why would you need my help?" Alexandra storms away,

"Where is she going?" Relm questions still in confusion,

Courtnie sneers "Who cares!? It's not like she cares about you!" Courtnie looks away in spite; Courtnie looks down at the floor "How can you even care about her right now?”

Jared looks down, "Alexandra she is just...."

Courtnie looks up at him with anger "Jared I can't do this right now! You need to stay out of Relm and My business, “she says as she storms away,

Jared looks to Relm "What's going on with you?"

Relm returns his head to his hand, "I-I have no idea what happened"

Jared walks toward Relm and walks past him and turns slightly, "Relm ...you kissed me and called me Len...but you were a girl last time... this time, you exorcised a ghost while singing soprano of the song requiem...and the ghost woman was the woman who kissed me...that went inside you..."

Relm looks down "Am I Len?" Still not understanding himself,

Jared looks out the window, "no...I think you're ...her" he looks at her out the window singing,” I think her name was Kiana"

Relm's eyes grow big, "KINA!? “Relm Concentrates harder “I know that name but where?"

Jared walks out of the room, "Good luck Relm...or Kiana..." he begins to laugh "Or whoever you are!" he laughs and waves backward as he exits,

"W-Wait!! We kissed!?" Relm's mind races back and forth, "But I love Doran....How could I kiss you!?" Relm falls to his knees and pouts "Maybe....Doran is Len or whatever. And you thought you were kissing him, it's okay though...." Relm keeps making excuses to make himself feel better "it's okay...I'm not into guys.... unless they insist to help me..." ha begins laughing "Jared....what have you done?" Relm looks to his hands "If you'd just be romantic... maybe Courtnie would choose you over prince Sheilder...." Relm shakes his head "but he is so handsome and she's supposed to marry him..." Relm can hear Jared's words "you'd be surprised what persistence can do..." he looks down "I'm sure that'd be what he would say..." Relm looks up "Persistence, Maybe with persistence Doran!"

Jared walks through the corridors looking through the glass ceiling toward the sky,

Alexandra returns to her room packing her things, she picks up the backpack and heads down the luxurious hallway, to the Lobby where she sees Jared waiting,

"Alexandra" Jared says with piece of mind,

Alexandra snuffs away "what is it Jared?" she says weakly,

"Relm doesn't even know what happened he doesn't remember anything, “Jared looks her in the eyes seriously "And I'm going with you...” Alexandra looks up as Jared opens the doors, "Ready milady?" Jared says with a grin,

Alexandra rushes past him, "Next time....I'll open the doors...MYSELF!" she says with pride,

"As you wish." Jared replies, as he follows her out

Relm looks up to the ceiling, weakened by loneliness he looks for Doran Everywhere, sighing and whispering, "Doran...where'd you go?" Relm walks out of the courtyard and by the sea, he watches all the waves go in and out, His mind only longing of Doran...Feeling trapped in this space and the only person giving him any freedom Doran, the waves crash in and out, he sees Doran's face glisten off the water’s edge, "Doran...." he says in sorrow,

Courtnie sits beside Relm gently "you miss that person don't you...." She skips a rock gently, and almost sorrowful,

"Courtnie...I..." Relm turns away,

"Brother ...don't deny it..." she throws another rock across the top of the lake, "I've seen the way you look at that common man..." she begins to look as if she's giving up, "He doesn't deserve someone like you ...you know?" She looks at the water's edge "I...have always learned the hard way... I must marry prince Sheilder.... I have always enjoyed Jared... secretly, he really has a kind heart... but it wouldn't be right..."

"If he doesn't deserve me than who does!?" Relm shakes his head, "What's wrong is this system it's so cold! Just because he is not royalty, I have to give up!? No...I'm not that cold Courtnie, I love you but I can't be like that... and honestly, you're a hell of a lot stronger than me, ignoring your feelings like that and not going crazy!" Relm looks down as he changes his subject in his head, Courtnie looks up high in the sky... "So you knew...? How long?" he asks with Compassion.

Courtnie rolls her eyes and giggles "Well...Since you were six and we used to play that we were princesses together..." Courtnie smiles widely, "I loved those days... when mom...and Dad were alive... before they went to fight whatever that thing was from all those years ago...I...will always protect you." Courtnie kisses Relm's head, and gets up and walks back inside the castle,

Relm stays back and watches the ocean, Doran runs through his mind, Relm looks up at the ocean again after rubbing his eyes to see faintly a woman dancing upon it, mist around her in the setting sun, "Kina!" He screams, the woman figure turns her head toward him, "Are you.....me?” the woman steps elegantly across the top of the ocean, finally jumping to the shore, she leans over him her hair falling over her shoulder,

"So you finally understand..." She says echoing in his mind "Well almost" she turns squinting, “because of these trials, I have been sealed in your love..."

Relm looks down, "Doran...?"

Kiana turns and walks away, "You still do not understand, she says eerily,

"Wait please!!" Relm says before he sighs, as she disappears in the horizon,

Alexandra pushes and pulls through the crowd, "Alexandra where are we..?"

She turns angrily, "A place that will be home!" she walks forward "now shut up Jared!"

Jared walks after her saddened but still awkwardly exuberant, "Why do... why do all women hate me?" Jared asks sincerely, Alexandra shakes her head as she continues to walk toward the great shekla inn,

Courtnie admires the ball room, it glistens and shines, She Exuberantly Dances along the wooden floor, her feet gently gliding, in dance, she looks around for a second feeling watched, she jolts looking at the window, and sees the terrifying ghostly woman thought to be dispelled staring at her through the window, "Yuri...?" Exits her lips, the woman smiles and disappears into the boards below, the deck, Courtnie stops for a second, to think and begins in a run to find Relm,

Alexandra pulls her curtains away to see the sky, and she sees a creature Identical to the thing that wounded her, like a flood she remembers all the things Relm has done for her, in tears she begins in a run out the door, “How could I forget?" she thinks as she runs back to the castle, Jared double takes grabs her things and begins after her.

Relm begins to walk back to the castle, he pushes over the sand with his shoes, fatigue is in him, and then he sees a creature appear in the shadows, with a scar on his eye, the same creature he destroyed! "I...I destroyed you!" Relm jumps back,

The creature raises his arms and exclaims, "We are Fayloc!” It smiles "We are many!"

Relm's eye twitches "Wicked creature are you like legion?" Relm asks as he glares,

The creature scowls "Have you no respect? Don't compare me to my master!" The creature giggles maniacally

Relm's eyebrows twitch "M-Master?" Relm lifts his hand to target the beast as more appear beside him, "8!?" Relm says with worry as Kina flying toward him pulls him by the arm to safety

"Go to the roof!" she says sheerly as she jumps back in the circle of Faylocs removing her sword and starts to fight them, "Go! She reiterates, Relm begins in a dash avoiding all Faylocs that appear, Kina begins cutting through the ones behind Relm guarding him from behind, Relm reaches the moon palace doors, "Relm go now! I'll see you soon..." Kiana says in a ghostly tone as she fells a Faylocs, she seems flawless when she fights, Relm opening the doors runs inside closing the doors behind him, He runs up the stairs, into the elevator and presses the button multiple times and finally Ding, the door opens, and he finds Courtnie inside,

"Brother Thank god you're safe!" she hugs him happily,

Relm struggles away "We have to go to the roof!!" he pulls her in and presses Roof,

"What!?" Courtnie looks around in confusion "Why bother?" the doors close behind them,

Relm looks back at her seriously, "The ghost Kiana told me to go to the roof,

Courtnie looks back at him with astonishment, "You...talked to her?" she shakes her head "Oh never mind, Yuri is still alive!"

Relm looks angrily, "The woman who tried to kill me is still alive?"

Courtnie looks back at him with concern, "Yes, I saw her out the ballroom window, and" The Elevator opens, and they see Yuri waiting, giggling,

Kiana flips up to the top of the roof, in front of Relm, "Yuri! Why?" Kiana questions "Aarkon has forgiven me!" Kiana says with a perfect female ghostly voice,

"Because... I.... I...I Hate you!! “Yuri looks up "I hate you with everything I am Kiana!!"Yuri screeches like a banshee,

Kiana twirls her sword, "Well sister or not, I suppose the deed must be done, " Kiana gets in her fighting stance, "Yuri...I shall destroy you for your crimes, " Kiana rushes closer her speed matched by the light around her, Faylocs guard Yuri, Kiana dispels them all but that gives Yuri time to throw a knife into Kiana’s back, Kiana Raises her head and a blue light glows and a beam returns to Relm,

"K-Kiana?" Relm says in disbelief, Yuri moves in closer to Relm, she forces Relm against a wall, and goes to strike him, Doran appears, Relm's eyes flicker as Doran stands in front of him he sees blood from Doran's arm...

Doran looks back weakly "I-I...couldn't let you get hurt...Relm..." Doran collapses,

Relm's eyes widen, "Doran!!" Relm screams utterly devastated as tears flow from his eyes he sees Doran's boyish body collapse tears begin to douse from his eyes, Relm flies to Doran's body as fast as he can and begins to hold Doran

Doran looks up to Relm with a smile "I'm so happy you're safe..." Doran says before he passes out in Relm's arms, Yuri comes again for Relm; this time faster than anything, A woman Draws her sword and moves like a samurai, her blonde ponytail runs behind her,

Alexandra's eyes widen "Is that? ....Yumiko!?" she says from the ground level

Yumiko's green eyes pierce Yuri's "Relm get back!!" Yumiko barks loudly,

Yuri jumps backwards as Relm pulls Doran close, the blue light returns outside of Relm and turns white, then separates into a spectrum of seven light of beam, Yuri's eyes widen, " No I...but I!" Yumiko glances back

Alexandra blinks "I could have sworn I saw Yumiko..." she says climbing the stairs "She was at the top almost flying,” Alexandra says to Jared in astonishment,

Jared runs up the stairs a bit "Flying?" he says in disbelief,

Alexandra pulls him by the arm "Come on!!" She says impatiently they reach the top and open the door seeing everything including Relm with the spectrum lights glowing down around him, Kiana then appears making a light platform connecting the spectrum lights, and fades down inside the light box, and a bright white light glows...

this is one of my hardest and most awesome chapters to write and read, I need to shrink it down
