The Evergreen Legend

Chapter Five

"Come on! Come on!!! Wake up, Riah!!" Lillian with raven black hair had Riah in her arms as she woke up. She looked up at Lillian and her eyes widened, hugging her tightly.

"Lili?! I remember everything! Where's Mrs. Whitlock?? And Tara? What about--" Lillian covered Riah's mouth and bent down as a man with beautiful blue eyes and jet black hair walked over wearing nothing but black clothing.

"Ah calm down sister it's just me, now where is my princess?" Just as he asked, Riah's head popped up and she jumped into Cassius's arms giving him a big bear hug. Cassius just stood there shocked, he always had called her his princess, which she hated and he knew it, but instead of sticking her tongue out at him, she did this.

"Woah there princess it's okay, it is all gonna be ok. I promise." After he said this Riah looked around and then up at Cassius.

She spoke in a soft tone of voice, "Where is my brother?" Cassius pointed to where Fox lay unconscious, as she walked over he woke up in a panic.

"Riah?!" She hugged him tightly as they cried knowing they were home again after all this time, Lillian spoke up and broke up the moment.

"So, your family name is banned by my parents after your grandparents made them the new leaders of Arcaneia, it's banned in the sapphire region and the lush valley. I think we need help from the elders of the sky region, they are skilled in making people look different and stuff like that right Cassius?" She looked over at her brother as he nodded, he then saw the gash on Riah's dress.

"What happened Azariah?" She glanced at her dress and gasped due to the fact you could see a bit of her bra, Fox placed his jacket on his sister looking at her and then at Cassius.

"Riah, what happened?" Fox asked after he noticed as well, at this point Riah had tears streaming down her face as the wind started to pick up and it began to rain.

"Whoa whoa, honey! What's wrong." Lillian ran over putting her arm around her. Riah laid her head down and told them what happened.

"That asshole! If I ever go back to the mortal realm again, I will kill him!!" The wind died down as she calmed down. Cassius's reaction made her giggle.

"Alright, I'm going to go send a bird to the sky region, fox come with me?" Lillian and Fox left, leaving Cassius and Riah alone. They hugged each other as tight as they could, it had been a while since she smelled his scent, it was the smell of someone burning birch firewood. Cassius let out a cry and she looked at him.

"Cass? What happened?" As he was crying he hugged her close, "Hey, you can talk to me Cass" She placed her hands on his cheeks and lifted his head wiping away his tears.

"I missed you, life hasn't been the same since you guys left. Lillian and I have grown apart but it feels like old times again. I've been missing a piece of my heart and now I have it back."Just as he said this he pulled Azariah close and kissed her, the kiss seemed to last for hours for the world stopped in its tracks when her lips met his, he let go and went into a hug.

"Alright, love birds! Let's go!!!" Lillian grabbed Fox's hand as she flew up, Cassius held onto Riah as they flew away, off to the Sky Region they go. Once they got there they saw the elders in their cambers, there were four of them only two they were seeing but each of the elders was different in their looks.

"So we want them looking like someone from the daywalker clan, so um, basically how we look." Lillian spoke to a female elder, she was beautiful. She gave Fox black hair like Cassius and Riah white hair.

"When you wish to change back just say these words '"Done with this back to normal"' and then you'll go back to who you once were." She smiled and they bowed.

"Thank you, Misstress Duan Fenyn, I owe you much for this!" Azariah spoke as she bowed.

"Young lady is more powerful and higher ranking that she does not know yet, Misstress Daun must not say a thing for they may be listening." They looked at each other worriedly, not knowing what she meant.

"Anyway, now off to the elder with the red outfit, he is skilled in the coth making." They made it over to him, he wore a black, yellow, and red outfit. Riah bowed and spoke to the Elder Lord.

"Elder Lord Cheng Hanjin! Mother would be so pleased to see you well!" Azariah hugged Hanjin tightly as he patted her back, just as he did she transformed into a beautiful black, blue, green dress. Fox got a black shirt, white pants, and a black trench coat.

Standing at the palace doors Lillian smiled and sighed as Cassius started talking, "Ok, now we see if our parents recognize you for Evergreen or a Bloodworth, pray they see you as Bloodworth or we are all dead. My parents, after I helped you, kept a sharp eye on me while trying to build this wild thing." Cassius pointed to the large black and blue castle, worried, he opened the doors of the palace and smiled.
