Gerard's P.O.V Serenity transformed back to her human form for dinner. Much to Mikey's delight. She wore a Arcadian dress though. It was a sky blue colour. It looked almost like the clouds were moving on it. The sleeves were short, tassily one's. The skirt area was flowing just above her knees. She didn't have any tights or shoes on. She'd left her hair down. She took my hand as she led us all into the large dining room. A very large table stood before us. It looked like something out of the medieval times. Food was piled all over it. Human food. A large chicken, ham, pork, beef, all kinds of meat, various vegetables, mash, gravy, cakes, trifles, everything we could ever want. But way too much for twelve people. "The leftovers are taken to beings who have nothing." Serenity explained when I pointed it out. "So I insist on extra being made." We all sat at the table. Serenity sat at the head with me on her left. Mikey next to me, then Frank, Ray, Bob, Mum, then Dad on the end. The end of our line, not the table. The door opened and three dark haired women and a blonde walked in. They were all beautiful. But not as beautiful as my Serenity. Serenity jumped up and rushed to them with a smile. The women smiled back and hugged her in a group hug. Serenity turned to look at us. "This is Caitlyn." She gestured to the blonde woman, who grinned. She was wearing a black dress that looked like the sky at night. It even had the stars....twinkling? "Khrista." Serenity gestured to one of the dark haired women. She wore a long sea blue dress that.....rippled? She smiled and nodded at us. "Jamia." Serenity gestured to another dark haired woman. She was shorter than the others. Her dress was green. Grass blowing in the wind. She smiled. "And Kristin." Kristin had long dark hair. She wore a dress of white. It looked like actual clouds. All the girls had no tights or shoes on. Serenity led them to the table. They sat ti her right. She introduced us to them, then they sat down. Kristin sat closest to Serenity. Jamia next, then khrista and lastly, Caitlyn. "I hope you all enjoy your food." Serenity said, sweetly. "Eat as much, or as little, as you like." During the meal, Serenity told us things we should know about Arcadia. Things like, the clothing stores sold clothing lines made of actual nature. That explains the dresses. They also sold human cloning. Money wasn't a part of their world. Instead they traded things. Like magic skills and abilities. For example, they could buy a dress by turning a stone into a pillow or transforming a piece of wood into a picture frame. The store owner then traded them for what they wanted. It was strange. But apparently it worked. She also told us that riding dragons and unicorns was only permitted with the beings consent. "Frank has a stomach problem that you could cure." Serenity told Jamia. Jamia smiled. "I can do that." I grinned at Frank. He hadn't taken his eye's off of Jamia since she arrived. Mikey had a obvious interest in Kristin. Ray kept looking at Khrista. And Bob stared at Caitlyn. Wow. Love is in the air. I grinned as I looked back at Serenity. "Does your world have love spells?" I asked. She shook her head. "It's a myth." She said, smiling. "No one can mess with free will. Love is free will. Why?" "Because I believe my brother and friends are falling fast for your friends." Serenity grinned. "I noticed. The feeling is neutral. I can hear both sides thoughts. They chose the right being too. Because Kristin likes Mikey. Jamia likes Frank. Khrista likes Ray. And Caitlyn definitely likes Bob." I laughed. "Wow. It couldn't be more perfect." "Wrong." Serenity said. She looked up towards the high ceiling and clicked her fingers. It changed to look like the sky at night. I laughed again. "Wow. Very Harry Potter." Serenity laughed. "Actually, we did it first." She stated. "J. K. Rowling's muse is called Hermione." My mouth dropped open. "Are you kidding?" She shook her head. "No. The work's all Rowling's though. Hermione just found a way to inspire her." "Fuck. Do you guys have a hand in everything?" I asked. "Most things. It's been easier to help since Dragon slayers, witch hunters and vampire slayers have become extinct." "So, what about deaths?" I asked, uneasily. She looked shocked. "Oh goodness, no. We don't like people dying. We don't have grim reapers. They're just another myth. Why do you think banshees scream? It's them crying because they know the person is going to die. It's so sad. Mirror tries to comfort the dead. But they can only do so much. They can't force the dead to go to them. Sometimes they lose a ghost because it choses the wrong path, ignoring mirrors call." She sighed, looking so sad. "Its horrible to watch. So I stopped watching. Till Elena. I had to see what would become of her. I hoped she would hear mirrors call. So I used my abilities to call her too. To amplify mirrors own call." Kristin leaned forward and put her hand on Serenity's shoulder. "Ren used all her energy to save your grandmother." She sighed. "It took Jamia a week to heal Ren. She was on complete bed rest." I looked at Serenity in shock. " Why did it affect you so much?" "I had to call out between world's for day's, constantly. I didn't eat or sleep. I had to make sure she didn't go to purgatory. It's the only thing worse than death itself." She admitted. "I couldn't let that happen." Kristin turned back to Mikey as I pulled Serenity into a hug. Just then, the door flew open and a Cyclops walked in, looking worried. "Sorry to intrude, your....Serenity." He said as he looked at her. " The high witch is approaching with a army. They have Meridian with them."
