Chapter 12

(Aya's POV)

I found myself alone in a dark place. Everything around me was black; I can't even see a thing. But there was something peculiar; I was covered by a white light. I looked around, nothing but black. I felt lonely and afraid. I hugged my knees and started to cry. I looked up again and saw a vision. I saw the time when me and my brother fight.

"Aya, come on!"

"I don't want to live in Europe, big brother!"

"Why? I thought you want to live there?"

"Not anymore! Especially if step-mom is gonna live with us!"

"Aya, we have to and besides, your friends are there!"

"My friends are here in Japan, big brother! And I don't want to live there and that's final!"

"Aya, stop acting like a kid! We have to go there! Besides, dad was the one who wanted us to be with step-mom. And also, you have to go there to meet your fiancée."

"I'm not gonna marry that fiancée, whoever he is, and besides, you know that…"

"You like someone else? But, Aya, you have to marry that guy!"

"Why?"

"Because step-mom said so!"

"You're gonna listen to her? She's never been a mother to us! She always wanted to make our lives miserable! I HATE YOU, BIG BROTHER!"

There was also the time when stepmom arrived in our house and boss us around. I was really angry at her. I hated dad too for marrying that woman. I wanted to banish her from our house in Europe but I can't do anything coz dad will be mad at me.

I also saw the time when mom passed away.

"Wow, mom! It's so beautiful here!" she exclaimed.

"I'm glad you like it. Come here, I'll show you something." She grabbed Aya's hand and they went straight for a door. She grabbed the key on her necklace and opened the door. Aya was even more amazed in what she saw: a room filled with crystal flowers. Even though the flower was transparent and crystal like, it shows the color of the rainbow.

"Wow, mom! What are these beautiful flowers?" she asked while smelling one of the flowers. "They are called crystal flowers. These flowers are like prisms, when the sunlight shines upon them they will be rainbow colored. Aren't they beautiful?"

"They're really beautiful, mom!" the little Aya exclaimed. "Know what, you're great great great great grandma was the first one to plant these flowers. She discovered this when she was lost in the woods. This flower was the one who gave her hope to find her way out. When she went out, she was shocked to see that she was holding 3 seeds of that flower. She planted it and nurtured it. These plants live for about 50 years. The oldest flower here is this one." She showed her a flower with a golden pot. "This plant is already 49 years old." She said. "Mom, where's your first flower?" she asked. "Here." She showed her a flower that was planted on a blue pot. Even though the flowers all looked the same, Aya said… "Wow, mom, this is the most beautiful flower of them all!" she commented. "Thank you, Aya. And, Aya, I'll give you something."

"What is it mom?" Her mom pulled a small box form her pocket. She opened the box and showed Aya a rainbow colored heart-shaped seed. "Aya, here's your seed, plant it and nurture it. This will bear a seed when it's ready, keep that seed and give it to your daughter in the future." Then, her mom took off her necklace which has the key to the green house and put it around her neck.

"And now, you're the guardian of this garden. Take good care of it." Then, her mom fainted…

I can't help myself from crying. But the last vision I saw hurt me a lot. It was the time when Shun and Alice kissed. I wanted that memory to be erased but these visions made me remember them. My heart was filled once again with mixed emotions. I was angry, sad and hurt. I wanted to cry, I wanted to release my feelings and I wanted to take vengeance.

That time, I realized that my life sucks. I shouldn't have lived. I should just end my worthless life! I hate my life. I screamed. I can't take it anymore. These memories…this sadness…this hatred…

Suddenly, a white light appeared in front of me and took a shape of a woman. The light was blinding but when the light faded, I was shocked in who I saw.

"M…mom…" I said with tears falling from my eyes.

"Aya, my dear child, stop crying." She said while wiping away my tears. In my excitement, I hugged her, I hugged her really tight.

"Mom!" I exclaimed with happiness.

"Mom, I missed you so much!"

"So I have, my little girl."

I just hugged her and cried tears of joy.

"Now, Aya, I know there are many things that hurt you in this world."

"I know, mom." I said finally releasing my hug on her.

"But, Aya, have you forgotten about the many good things that happen to you?"

I didn't respond. But she's right, I did forget those things.

"Come here, I'll show you." She said while grabbing my hand.

We step into a white portal then, there we were, in the valley of flowers where my family used to have some picnic.

"Kai, can you pass the sandwiches?" Mom said.

"Yes, mom!" My 8-year old brother said. Then, he passed the sandwiches to mom.

"Thank you, Kai. Here's your sandwich, Aya."

"Thanks, mom!" The 6-year old me said.

"Our…our family…" I said.

"Look, isn't this a happy moment?"

Yes. Yes, it is a very happy moment for me. I can still feel the happiness even though I was just watching it. I saw how we laughed when I tumbled down the flowers because of my clumsiness. And I saw how my parents and my brother cared for me. My tears flowed. I really missed those times.

"Let's go, Aya. We have a long way to go."

I grabbed my mom's hand then, we stepped into yet another portal. This time, it was the time when I first met Shun…

I was only 6 years old then…

I was all alone in the park bench holding my favorite teddy bear. Then suddenly, someone fell down the tree. I looked to see who it was and it was a black-haired kid.

I approached him to see if he's ok.

"Hey, are you alright?" I asked worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He answered while standing up.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"What were you doing up in that tree anyway?"

"I was just getting that little bird back to its nest" He said while pointing at the nest that was resting on a branch.

"Oh. Look, you have a wound on your knees."

"Oh, that's just a little wound." I hurriedly get my handkerchief and covered his wound on the knee. After I tied it…

"You don't really need to do that." He said.

"Yes, I do." I said with a smile. We both smiled at each other.

"Shun was your bestest friend. He became your closest friend, your protector and the one you love."

I blushed upon hearing that. Now, it's clear to me. I really do have feelings for Shun.

"Shun…"

"He was the one you love that's why you were hurt upon seeing him with Alice."

"I…I guess…"

"Come here, Aya."

Then again, we stepped into another portal and it was like the others, here, there are many memories. I looked around and there were like hundreds of them.

"What can you observe in these?" Mom asked.

I looked at them but I just told her that it was just some of my memories.

"Look closely."

I analyzed them and afterwards, I realized what mom wants me to see…All those memories…they were with Shun…

The times when Shun saved me, the times when he protected me, the times we had a happy moment… all those were beautiful memories with Shun.

Again, my tears fell.

"Shun…"

"Yes, Aya. These memories are of yours and Shun's. See how many great memories you had with Shun? And you'll throw it away because you just saw him with Alice."

Mom was right. I shouldn't be angry with Shun. After all he did for me. All those memories. I looked around then I saw one of the greatest memories with Shun…

Just as he thought, he found Aya there below the bridge, and she's crying.

"Hey" he said. I looked toward him. "Shun? What are you doing here?" I said while wiping my tears.

"I'm here for you, Aya." Shun sat down beside me. I hugged my knees and started to cry again. Then, it started to rain, making the mood even sadder.

Then, Shun put an arm around me and said. "Aya, stop crying. Don't worry, I won't let them take you, I'm always here for you. And I'm always here to protect you." I leaned on Shun's chest. "Thanks, Shun."

Shun pulled me closer earning a small blush from me.

We stayed in that position until the rain stopped. Shun stood up and put his hand in front of me, a gesture for me to grab on. "Let's go." He said.

I grabbed his hand and stood up. "Where?"

"Home." Shun said with a smile on his face.

Shun…

I can't believe that I got angry at him. I'm so stupid. I shouldn't have done that.

"Aya, let's go, we have one more stop." Mom said, interrupting my thoughts.

She opened another portal and this time, it was a black portal. When we entered inside, the room was all black. I think it was the place where I was before.

"Where are we, mom?" I asked in wonder.

"We're inside your heart."

"Huh?"

"You're heart has been filled with darkness because of all the mixed emotions you had."

I looked around. I still saw all the bad memories I had. I can't help myself be angry that time. Suddenly, the white light that was surrounding me suddenly turned black. I can feel the anger and hatred beginning to form inside me but mom touched me and said.

"Aya, all this hatred, all this anger, it must all go, you must forgive and forget. Don't live in a world filled with anger. All this bad things forget all of them and let the light inside you shine."

"The light inside me?" I began to calm down. I took a deep breath and cleared my mind. I thought of everything mom said to me. I must forgive, I must forget, this anger and hatred must go. Suddenly, I felt myself glowing. There's a symbol that glowed from my forehead and it engulf all the darkness inside my heart. I felt myself free.

Light…

I finally saw the true light…

We were back in the battle field but this time, I wasn't the Eclipse Angel, I was shining with white light. I have 6 rainbow colored wings. And I can feel the endless light power inside me.

"A…Aya…" The others said while looking at me.

"It's time to end this war." I said with a smile. I flew up to the sky and then pulled out my flute and played the "Rainbow Symphony".

Rainbow colored dust swirled around me and these spread throughout the land. The sky began to clear and for the first time in the history, the rainbow moon showed up in the sky. All those who got hurt and wounded were healed. All of the black angels stopped and then they began to turn back into their original form, as the angels. Hydron who was shocked to see this got mad.

"No! No, this can't be happening!" He said.

"You're gonna pay!" He shouted before attacking me.

But his power was worthless against the powerful force surrounding me.

"Hydron, you must stop this madness and come to the light." I said while looking at him.

"NO! NO!"

I flew toward him and opened my arms to him.

"Hydron," I wrapped my arms around him and in an instance, his dark side began to fade and disappear. Then, the white angel Hydron was set free.

"Thank you, Aya, for setting me free. The dark side kept me for a long time." He said.

"I'm glad to help."

Then, all the FORMER black angels flew up and covered the sky. Then, suddenly, an angel approached me.

"You did it, my child" The angel said.

I looked at her closely, she was the black angel that assisted me and gave me the "water". Just then, I realized, she was no ordinary angel, she was not just another angel, she was my guardian angel, she's my mom.

"MOM!" I exclaimed before I hugged her again.

"Aya…my dear child."

I cried and cried. I was so happy to see her again.

"What are you doing here? How did you come back?" I asked.

"My body as a human died but my angel spirit hasn't. Aya, you've done it. You fulfilled your mission."

Then, four beings appeared in front of me and my mom; the elementals.

"Archangel Aya, you have done it! You have done your mission. You saved all the creatures on earth." They all said in unison.

"I'll do anything for all of them. But my mission is not finished yet. I still need to keep the peace and order in earth." I said.

"Wait, you mean, you have to go?" Shun said all of a sudden.

I flew down to Shun.

"Yes, I must go."

"But, Aya…" He said. I saw sadness in his eyes.

"Shun, I will be back, until then, keep my mom's necklace. I promise that to you."

"Aya…"

I gave him a quick peck on the lips before I flew up again.

"I'll be back. Maybe not tomorrow or the next day but I'll be back." I said to them with a smile.

"I'll wait for you." Shun said.

I flew up to the sky with the angels behind me. Now, my mission is to return and keep the peace and order among creatures. I'm happy now coz my mom's with me and I know I have my friends that will be there for me. Especially now that Shun and I are best of friends again. Even though I had many bad memories, I know that they're just part of life and they should not be a reason to do bad things. We must face them with courage. We must face them with kindness and love and not violence. We must know to let go of the anger and hatred inside us. And we must forgive and forget…
