A New Beginning


Part 6


21. Reunited Again

Destiny was asleep in a dark room, but she wasn't alone. When
Destiny awoke, she looked around but didn't see a single thing. She
could sense something in the room, something was watching her. She
stood up to see where she was and a bright light suddenly lit up the
room. She then saw a middle aged women in front of her.

" Hello Destiny, my how you have grown," Said the women.
Standing at least 2 yards away.

" That voice... I know that voice... But you can't be... Mother,"
She said in a shocked voice.

" Yes, Destiny. It's me. I have missed you so much," Starts to
walk towards her daughter in a white dress. Got to Destiny and hugged
her. " Oh Destiny, I'm sorry I haven't been there for you,"

" Mom, I have missed you so much. but you're dead. I saw your
body in the casket," She explained to her. " How could you be here."

" I can't tell you anything more than that you are in danger. You
have two men in your heart but you must only choose one. You might not
know who your other love is but you shall know as soon as you get to your
destination. Both of your hearts desires shall be waiting for you," Her
mother explained to her.

" But Mom, how will I know who to choose," Destiny asked with concern.

" Just follow your heart dear, just follow your heart," Her mother
said as she slowly vanished away. "Good-bye Destiny. I'll always watch over
you and Caylob"

" Mom, don't leave me. Please, Come back." Destiny yelled. Suddenly
the whole room went dark again. Destiny cried herself to sleep once more.

22. Who are you?

When everyone made it to the house again, Rowen and everyone ran to the
lake. Rowen got there first, but did not like what he saw. A tall man was sitting
on the dock in the middle of the lake. He had waist long, whitish-blondish hair.
He had a long white outfit that had a certain individual look than regular
clothes. His hair was glowing in the light. He sensed the presence of his audience
and looked toward them. He suddenly stood up and started to walk on top of the
calm water. When he got close enough, all the young girls recognized who this
young looking man was. Kayllyn, Aeva, and Ari had not a clue who it was, so they
just stood there dazzled by the young mans handsomeness.

" LARIEN!!!" All the girls running after him screamed.

" Hey everyone what's up," Larien smiled as he saw all of his lifelong
friends by him. He looked over at Rowen and saw the unhappy look on his face. " So
you're the one I'm up against."

" What do you mean by the one you're up against?" Rowen stated at the
statement that Larien made.

"I meant that she loves both of us and must choose the one that she will
live with for the rest of her life," He said as he finished hugging all of his
friends.

"Hey," Ryo said.

"His ears are pointed," Kento stated. Sage and Cye look at everyone of the
girls ears.

" Their ears are pointed too," Sage pointed to all of them.

" They're elves!!" Cye shouted. Karura comes out of the crowd of girls and
walks up to Sage.

" You got a problem with that?" Sees Sage shake his head. " I thought so."

" You don't think I'm weird now do you, Cye?" Mairanie said with such an
innocent voice and look.

" No Miranie, I would never judge anyone by there ethnicity," Cye said as
he walked up to her and hugged her. "I'm not like that."

Miranie hugged him back so gently. Larien still looking at Rowen wondering
how good he was to her. Turns around and starts to walk out on the water back to
the floating dock to wait for Destiny. Rowen got off his clothes since he had put
on his swim shorts on earlier. Sits on the opposite side of the dock as Larien.

23. DESTINY HAS RETURNED

As time passed by as if only a half hour everyone started to see a light
form in the sky. The light turned into a figure and started to lower down until on
the dock between Rowen and Larien. The light faded and Destiny showed up right in
front of the two people that she had to choose from. She saw Rowen but didn't know
what to say. Looks over to see her other so called love. She saw who it was and
looked at him shocked.

" Larien?!?! What are you doing here?" Destiny asked in confusion as to why
her second best friend in the world was here. She remembered what her mother said.
She looked at them both. She knew she had to make her decision soon or they wouldn't
speak to her for mostly the rest of her immortal life. She had to think of the problems
each decision she would have to make.

Rowen: We would still be friends but he would never forgive me.

Larien: He's been my friend my whole life. He helped raise me. He would
do the same thing.

Rowen: He just turned 17. I'm 1,400 years old. But I look 16. So I'm only
human.

Larien: He's more around my age. He's going to turn 1,542 and looks 19. He's
an elf and I'm mostly elf so I'd be perfect for him.

24. THE FINAL DECISION

Still thinking of who she should choose, she remembered her mother saying to
follow her heart. She thought of who she really loved the most. Finally she thought
of what she would do. She told them to remember the most precious time together. If
they could remember what her most favorite memory of them together. Then she would
make her decision. Rowen went first and told the most cherished memory of them together.

" I remember when you and I first went on our first date at the school dance. You
looked so beautiful in your silver dress. Your hair in a high ponytail and curled with
silver jewels in your hair. You had the most lovely smile on your face. Your so pretty when you get all dressed up like that." Rowen finished and saw the look on Destiny's face when he said that. She didn't look too happy. Now it was Larien's turn.

" I remember when I took you to Lothlorien, my hometown, for the first time. Your
eyes widened when you saw the city of lighted trees and all of the wildlife that live
there. You looked so beautiful in your dress that I bought you for your birthday. I
couldn't take my eyes off of you. Your hair was down and you had flowers in it here and
there. But even when you went swimming later that day, you looked so radiant. I wish we
could relive that day, but I don't need to. I look back and see it everyday." Larien
finished and saw the look in her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry.

Destiny looked at both of them and read their minds to see which one truthfully
loved her. She finished and announced her decision.

" I have made my decision. I'm going to go with..." She paused and looked at
both of them. " Rowen Hashiba."

Larien looked very upset but understood what she wanted and vanished. Rowen came
and picked Destiny up and kissed her deeply. She returned the kiss and they started to
float up in the air. Everyone saw what the decision was and got excited. Cye kissed
Miranie and hugged her close. Sage kissed Karura and she returns his kiss. Ryo and Mia
hugged each other and gave each other a small kiss. Kento got lonely and lined up all of
the young girls that were left and gave each of them a kiss on the cheek. Kayllyn, Ari,
and Aeva slapped him.

Destiny and Rowen went out on a date that night. She took him to her homeland,
Rivendell. There they had dinner and went out for a horseback ride. They rode to
Lothlorien and went to the chapel. They invited all of there friends to come and witness
their happy day. They got married that night and they lived together happily for eternity.
