Last Harvest Gold! :-)
Nelly shivers when she sees Alex standing behind the King. A red cloak around his shoulders. Symbol of the King's Guards.
She had known he'd joined them, though has never been able to understand it. Alex was always such a nice kid, kind and understanding, a little spoiled perhaps. Nelly has known him since birth... For him now to have switched sides. How his parents must be weeping - their only child a puppet of the King...
He suddenly looks aside, as if feeling her gaze resting on him. Quickly she looks down. Too dangerous...
When she dares raising her head again, he is still watching her… It unnerves her. Scares her.
The sunlight reflects on her golden ring - the ring that stays on her finger, no matter how many times she takes it off - catches her attention. Her eyes narrowing, wondering what this means. It seems familiar. Too familiar, and yet completely new.
Looking up her eyes meet Alex' and she can't understand the look on his face. Surprise, awe, longing, fear, pain.
"Nelly. What are you doing?"
There is raw panic in her mother's voice. The people around her are slowly backing away. Scared. All looking at her and then moving their gazes to the stage where the King is standing. Of course he soon notices it as well.
"Nelly. Run."
Her mother's desperate whisper. It's only then that Nelly notices she herself is glowing as well. A feint orange light all around her. It radiates a comfortable warmth.
She's forgetting something. She has forgotten something. A memory. Slowly finding its way back. Looking around - as in a daze - everything seems to move slower. As if time is standing still.
"Nelly..."
Out of the distance she hears a voice. Familiar. Somehow. Yet strange.
"Nelly."
Another voice. It doesn't surprise her that Alex is suddenly standing next to her, while no one else seems to be able to move.
"It's time..."
Even the words make sense. One way or another. Though she cannot explain it. Not yet.
"It is indeed. He's coming back..."
She doesn't realise it is she herself who is speaking up, until she feels Alex' hand on her shoulder.
"I've missed him."
"So did I."
And it is only when the light faints away that she understands - that she knows...
"Rafael..."
He's standing by her side. Taking her hand in his. And it is warm. It is alive.
"You're back."
His soft laugh echoes all over the place. "I am indeed."
Time moves back to normal speed.
"Alex?"
Nelly's mother looks scared between her daughter and the King's guard. But then she catches sight of the other person. Her expression going from meeting a stranger to recognition.
"Rafael?!"
All around them the King's Magician fall on their knees - their power broken. And it is then - at that exact moment - that the first look of fear appears on the King's face. There, right there, for everybody to see.
"Rafael."
Alex is smiling when he steps closer to his brother. His older brother. Finally he can tell the world again that he has a brother. And no one will doubt him. Everybody will remember. Finally back...
For a moment his blood freezes when he sees the look on Rafael's face. Anger and cold. And he flinches when Rafael raises an arm.
"You!"
Before her can react, his brother wraps his arms around him, hugging him.
"You foolish... You fool! What have you done? What did you do? How..."
Alex smiles when he returns the embrace. "Let's worry about those details later?"
Rafael's clear laughter echoes all over the place.
"Thank you. Both of you. For bringing me back."
His arm still slung around his brother's shoulder. His free hand taking a hold of Nelly's, their fingers intertwining.
When they look back at the stage, the King and his Magicians and Guards have disappeared.
Another Rebellion is about to start. And this one they will win...
