"I know. I'll make sure you're one of the first to know when I can." I stroked her hair soothingly. She closed her eyes and nodded slightly, relaxing in my lap while I played with her long purple hair, enjoying the hints of pink and amber highlights running through the loose curls.

Sia...I feel like I've forgotten something. She didn't participate in the Trials, right?

I had to admit I didn't remember much of anything from Trial four. It was as if my mind erased it from my memory bank.Maybe it was too much for me? I wonder what I'd seen with Finn again?

I could ask him. No...I don't want to remind him about what he might have seen or that part about his family. I need to talk to Mom about that. Maybe tomorrow.

I decided not to bother thinking about it, already feeling a headache starting to form from the mere thought of the Trials. I'd decided when we arrived here that it would be a little bit of a vacation for me to try and relax my mind from everything that had happened in New Aslan.

I was still worried about the Darkness and Odion coming to try and convince me to join him, but with how safe the sanctuary was, I wasn't as concerned about it as I would’ve been elsewhere.

I'll have to ask Magnor and the others for another locket. Hmm. I could ask Finn too. I'll let them all make me one together? That will be strong enough to conquer any nightmares, at least until we figure out what's going on.

"So..." I began and looked back down at Arielle who opened up one of her eyes to look up at me.

"So, Bru?"

"How many are you dating?" I asked with a sly smile.

Arielle blushed and closed her eyes."All six...Bru."

"All? Even the Dragon?! I thought you were only dating Noah and Gabriel!"

Her eyes remained closed, but her face grew redder at my comment. "I'm taking it slow with them. I've been dating Noah though, and I've gotten closer to Gabriel. There's an actual order, so I'm kinda hoping to work on spending time with each of them and see where it leads."

"Aww. My Arielle is growing up and has a harem of her own. Mommy's so very proud," I stated dramatically.

She opened her eyes to shoot me a glare. "Stop teasing me, Bru," she whined.

"I'm not teasing. I'm proud," I said with a wide grin.

"Sure, you are." Arielle huffed.

"I am."

"Hmph."

"Awww, you're all embarrassed." I giggled at her flustered face.

"Ugh. I'm sleeping."

"The others will be back soon," I pointed out.

"Ya. Just wake me up when they're back. I'm going to enjoy my sleeping time with my Mistress," she mumbled, closing her eyes.

I wanted to tease her again, but her words meant a lot to me. We hadn't slept in a room with just us in a while, and it was nice to watch her rest in her human form. I knew once she fell into a deep sleep, she'd return to her phoenix-harpy form, so I was going to take every advantage to watch her. I did just that, my eyes lingering on my wonderful familiar who continued to blow me away with her love and loyalty.

No matter what the future holds, I know Arielle will always be by my side.

Matter of Time and My Charming Date

~SIA~

Iwalked through the colorful forest, the moonlight enhancing the variations of purples and pinks, causing its rays on the vast lake before me to glitter and glisten.

Even though the beauty of the night surrounded me, I didn't linger on it. I didn't care, to be honest. I knew I'd be tormented in moments, and the calming feeling that flowed through me thanks to the serene environment would evaporate into sadness.

I strolled towards the large clear lake as the cool breeze passed by me, fluttering my pure white dress and pink-purple hair.
