HEIR OF LIGHT Book1: The lost prince

CHAPTER 8

It had almost been ten minutes later since daren watched over terra and jason still in the trance they were. He studied them closely and smiled,

They actually fit! He thought,

The only problem was neither wanted to accept, it was like they felt guilty for it, he knew the magnetic feeling they had for each other since the beginning,

Aratia enhanced the feelings, it was like a driving force between them, he at least hoped they would realize they were meant for each other before it was too late.

His head snapped towards the direction of Vulpix, smoke rose from the distance, the smell of burning wood slowly saturating the air, his keen shifter nose catching it as it came, it didn't look like a festival fire.. no, more like things were burning.

Realization seeped into him, he looked frantically at his friends, whatever they were doing, they better hurry, they were in danger...

C'mon terra......

**†**†**†**

She appeared in a vast area of land, the memory looked hazy, it meant it was either moved to the rear of his memory by a mage or a very crappy elemental, either way she had been able to access it which meant she had grown strong,

A figure appeared out of the mist, it formed a bewildered jason, she stood in awe, how had he been able to access his own thoughts like that?,

"Er.. Terra?, how am I here?" He asked looking around,

"I don't know, its impossible, unless-" she said cutting it off as a little version of them ran across the field,

Little terra dragged little jason down the hill, he was shouting about where he was, she didn't reply and kept going,

"Is that?-"

"We have to move now!" She said dragging a shocked Jason with her,

The memory was too sharp for her to forget, instead she allowed it to play by itself,

******

Little terra kept on running, she looked over her shoulder to see if the prince followed.

His life was the last thing her mama told her to protect, he was the reason her parents were killed, accidentally coming back to this realm and her parents the last of allies to the house elixtu, had paid with their souls to protect him.

She wiped a tear from her face, at eight she had been training to go to this world her parents were to put her with the queen, all they said were to protect the prince with her life and she would.

The sound of horse riders thundering down resonated in the distance as she got to the cave, it was the right one, she sighed in relief,

"Where are we and what happened to your parents" Prince jason asked,

"Later ikir, my mame is terrena and I'll explain when we get to your w-home" she corrected herself,

Prince jason nodded in pure obliviousness, he thought he was still at his backyard,

She moved to the stone statues, one depicted a man and woman held together in a tight embrace, the goddess of marriage frera stood beside her husband the god of portals metron.

She was told to specifically use the other cave but she knew this one was closer and faster, for once she would do things her way. She motioned for the prince to move forward and he did, she removed the chain necklace on her neck and tied it around her hand and his as a link to help the both of them not lose each other when they switched dimensions. She could see the yetrons a bird with the head of a bird and the back of scorpion, the warriors were getting closer,
