Summer at the Solstice

Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky.

I’m in a deep sleep hearing the soft words of the goddess Gaia, surrounded by light and darkness. Her words in the soft breeze speak to me.

When two become one...

That’s how things must be done…

Darkness looms, and the death of one closest to her may be true.

But with acceptance of who she is, a friend turns into a mate and lover

Is the goal.

Only true light and a journey complete with the greatest evil come to conquer the light.

With pure light and intent, the evil meets his sticky end.

Love and a true heart will bring forth the new prophecy at journey's end.

A journey that never ends.

As the words stitch into my soul like soft music playing in the background.

“Daughter, our enemies are often right in front of us.”

I am startled, shooting up like the devil got me. Scared out of my mind, with the voice of the goddess still in my mind I hear footsteps moving fast to reach my bedroom.

“What’s wrong!?”

“I’m sorry, my dream scared me, Mom.”

“Veronica Sapphire Belevoir you scared me half to death,” Mom said still breathing hard.

“I’m sorry, mom.” I shake looking up at her.

Her face turns into a frown, “Come downstairs, please. Breakfast is served for us. And Alina is coming over, tread carefully with her darling. I don't trust her.”

As mom turns around walking out she turns back around, “Please be careful okay.”

I look at her slightly confused as if Mom knows something I didn’t. Could she have had a vision of what was coming in the future? Something that I didn’t know.

“Ya, mom I will be careful.”

Mom always had a foresight of what was to come.

Living amongst humans is hidden because they are so blind to what’s in front of them.

I walk downstairs to the kitchen the aroma of breakfast smells so good. As I sit down she places chocolate chip hot cakes in front of me with extra chocolatey goodness. As I eat enjoy the chocolate melting down my throat the taste is too intense I couldn’t seem to get enough of it.

“The paperwork has been sent to Beaumont Academy sweetie. I know you deserve this more than anyone.”

I look at her with stars in my eyes, I am in awe as to how this is even possible for me.

My dedication to my studies, remembering all the hours practicing controlling my magic. Yet, I am still struggling with acceptance. I never had a normal life, not like the mortals I am around. The isle of Gaia has so much nevertheless we are in front of humans. We have to be wise to never be seen to use our magic.

I keep looking up at the morning purple sky, something good always happens when this happens. It is as if the Goddess is sending her blessing as a sign to the heavens.

It’s weird, as I finish my breakfast taking the plates to the sink to wash.

“Veronica!” she shouts from the other room.

I rush to the next room and notice she is reading my mail.

“Did I?”

“You did it babe you got in.”

I scream with excitement.

I was over the moon excited.

I just wondered did Tarren, Alina, and my friends get accepted as well. It would make things easier if they did.

There is a darkness here, on the isle something that is unseen to the humans but clear to us.
