--Recap--
It was a loud booming voice, I knew immediately who it came from. Illard, the miniature spotted hippo; he was the most famous creature in the entire land.
"Its about time you got here" Illard yelled loudly. He must have been farther down the glass heart path, even with my good vision his small figure seemed almost invisible, but it was unmistakable, it had to be Illard. But what did he mean?
--
I got up slowly, careful to avoid the foreboding roses this time. My knees were a little shaky, my throat was dry and my heart was still beating frantically. But despite the fright and throbs of pain, I felt alive, truly alive. This didn't seem like a day-dream anymore. At that moment I realized that I was really here, in this magical faerie tale. How many times did I wish to truly exist here, and now, now I did.
Illards voice interrupted my happy thoughts, I had forgotten all about him.
"Amber! Down here, come on" For such a small hippo he had quite a large voice.
I took a step down the fragile looking glass heart path. I felt my feet falling out from under me again, my heart fluttered and I gritted my teeth awaiting impact. None came, I was fine, somehow I hadn't fallen.
A sharp laugh escaped me rather suddenly, I almost clasped my hand over my mouth but I didn't. I felt so free and happy, happy for the first time since childhood. I laughed again, this time letting all the numbness and gray reality with my mother wash away on ripples of laughter. Something shimmered in front of my face, it looked like a bubble, I leaned closer. There was someone inside the bubble, someone trapped. I rubbed my eyes uncertain of the image inside and looked again. Now there were two people inside the bubble and one of them I knew. One of them was my mother and she was kneeling next to a frail looking girl who lay in a small bed. I grimaced, the girl seemed lifeless, void of all happy emotions. Her face was blank, her eyes were sullen and dull. I didn't want to look at this pitiful girl anymore. I closed my eyes and exhaled, imaging the bubble floating away into the deep purple sky. When I opened my eyes the bubble was gone, just like I wished. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw a small glitter in the sky, the bubble rose higher and finally, after hovering for a few moments, popped.
Relieved, I inhaled a relaxing breath of sweet air.
Once again I started off down the glass, heart shaped, path.
I could see Illard now, he was rushing towards me, his small hooves moving as fast as possible. He was excited to see me, I could always tell when he was excited because his spots would change colours. They would glitter with magnificent blues, bright yellows that seemed to glow, supple oranges, fresh greens, and deep royal purples.
I ran toward him, sliding to a stop in front of him.
"Illard" I greeted him.
Illard smiled, I'm not sure how a hippo could smile much less a miniature spotted hippo, but he did.
"The counsel sent me, something about a secret surprise and-well I shouldn't talk about it- BUT they knew you'd be here!" Illard boomed.
"If it's a surprise doesn't that mean its secret anyway?" I asked slowly.
Illard gasped, "No," his spots squealed tiny agreements and hastily changed colours. "Don't you remember, surprises are grand, but Secret Surprises are almost always surprisingly enchanting and-"
"You're talking in riddles and look at your spots, they're a jumble." I chuckled.
"Well it's great to see you, we all missed you and everyone wants to chat, especially Marlien and even bitter Jhude... But, we don't have time, really you must follow me. Off to the Secret Surprise!"
I was about to ask where the 'Secret Surprise' was but when I opened my mouth I immediately shut it. Elegant music notes floated in the air around us. They seemed familiar somehow.
"Well.... Call it" Illard gently pushed me forward into the large group of notes.
I stood stunned as the notes floated around me, I was utterly unsure of what to do.
Hesitantly I reached out and with trembling fingers touched the curve of a 'C' note.
It let out a light female voice. The voice was so rich, like cream.
Memories flooded back to me.
With nimble fingers I reached into the air and gently stroked the combination of notes that came so surely to my fingers. Music erupted all around me. Sweet, calming music.
It was coming. |
