Darkstar and the Rubin Heart by Anita Horvat (the ebook reader txt) 📖

a sleep in the little chair near the window, and my dreams were filled with colours of a strange, fantasy world. I didn't need to say that Darkstar was in my dreams. But strangly I had a feeling something in my bedroom was diffrent. I got up. I saw a light in my wardrobe closet. A small light I saw in the storm yesterday. I opened the closet's door and I saw a small girl tremblling. She had blue long hair that captured her smaragd eyes. She was wearing a small silvering dress. Suddenly I knew her name.
-Asja. Lilwita.
–Yes my name is Asja Lilwita. You must come, The One...
–No my name is Dione...-I smiled with fear.-Who are you and what are you doing there! Where is Angelo.
–I am waiting. The One. I don't know that Angelo.
–Dione.- I said while I was trying to be prepared to scream. Is this for real? Am I seing things? I have my life. I was scared.
–The one.- Said the fairy with ceptor in her hand, like she was a guard. She flew like a bee. Around me.
–Dione.- I said loudly. – Who are you? Are you real? I am still asleep?
–Mathers.- Said the fairy Asja pretty good. – Soon the time will come so you must go with me. The magician Thozaro is waiting for you.
–What?- I said while I was trying to put all my clothes back in the closet and was trying to breathe. I didn't stop to look in the fairy. I was ignoring her like she will disappear if I don't look at her, but she flew right in front of me. And she was talking to me like anybody would. Where is Angelo? I must tell him this.
I didn't finish my story! And I must give it on Monday. Tommorow, man.
–Mathers. You must save the Mathers. Colrado is coming with the prince. Do you know who is Darkstar?
I smilled. Is this for real? AM I Going crazy?
Asja started to talk. She said that everything changed in the mermaid land and that the Gulstar warriors want to take the princess in the Ice. I noticed that Ice was an enemy for mermaids. Asja cried. I didn't know then that the princess was important so much to the fairies. But Asja took my hand and I felt the warmth. I said I go with her when I finish my story. She smilled.
- The story is here. You must save the world. Not write stories, Dione.
The place turned around me, flowers came from everywhere and my scream was heard loudly because I got lost in the trees that lighted like lamps. I was in Panglea. A fairy forest. I knew it. I was crossing the bridge.
- You tricked me, Asja.
- Everything is allowed in war and love, The one. Dione. We are waited.
An old house with tall wooden chairs belonged to a beard magican Thozaro who was nearly five houndred years old. In front of him there were twelve young elfs. Big yellow beings with wings attached on their back. Not so nice creatures.
– Where am I...What are they waiting?- I screamed.
Asja was looking at me and she made a little move to the beard man in black mantle.
- We are waiting for a signal... – said the magician.
– For a signal, master. Watch.-Colrado took out some kind of firestick and lit it. It burned in blue colour. Then a bee flew from the blue flame of the magic stick and said.-Colrado, no time for talking. The elfs are there. And Dione. The one.
– Bee, please. I have a guest. Magician Thozaro wants him.- Said Colrado to the bee. – What? Why? He isn't any diffrent from others. What skills and powers does he have?
–Nothing but his sword, fairy.- said the bee.
And the bee flew to Darkstar and made a move.
–I am not a fairy, I am a bee, servant of the Oceangoes.
–Who?-said Darkstar.
–You never heard about us? Where are you from? Do you know the secrets of Gulstar?
–I want to fight against him. He is my enemy. He wants dragons to be free. To destroy the land of Halthar.
–Well...-said the bee. – The truth is. Gulstar is our enemy.
–Please.
–We have guests. Dione came.
–Dione?-said Colrado.-And? Did she say where is the stone of Gahtraz?
–No. She still doesn't know. Well, come in, Darkstar and Colrado. I think magician Thozaro has something for you. A favour.
Bee flew in the wind. They were with magician Thozaro suddenly.
–Darkstar and Colrado? Together...- said the tall magician Thozaro whose wish in life was only the freedom. – What are you doing here?
–Magicians! What to do you send for us, Thozaro.- Said Colrado and he saw his sister Apunee wasn't here and he looked worried and sad. – Zatho has taken my sister?
– Yes it is so, Colrado. We tried to see where are they, but fairies didn't find anything, would you like something to drink? Thanks. Yellowstar Blue was here, a fairy from Ice. She said she had seen your sister. Gulstar took her. She is in Tower Ice Hill.
Thozaro was making them a drink out of berries, and he looked worried.
–Tower Ice Hill?- Colrado said with sadness and coldness like everything has lost it's meaning.
–Terrible place. Dragons.-Said magician and he poured some yellow drink in a glass, and he looked at Darkstar like a good person would. – Nice you are here, why are you... With...
- I saved Colrado. I had never been there in Tower Ice Hill but I heard stories. Story about dragons. Dragons that live near the Mountain. Treasure, everyone wants the dragons. Everyone wants Mountain for money. And Gulstar wants to find it to destroy the land.
- What? – magician turned yellow and the glass with drink broke. – You know that tommorow the Gulstar will attack Halthar and you are here?
- He didnt know. Sorry, master, I just heard, bee told me in the cloud.
-My kingdom is destroyed with Gulstar. I must stay and fight, then I will stop the war. – Darkstar said with pride. – My father is the king.
- Brave, Darkstar, the king is old and Gulstar is old vampire. - The magician said quietly and he opened a leafe shelf to discover me to Darkstar.
Darkstar looked at me and smilled. – Who is she? She isn't an elf?
–Shelfs?-Said the magician. – They are rare but we have found one in the Living World. You know, beyond the border of Lights. Asja found her through algous. Colrado you have one with you, the magic stone. Algous. It shows the creatures and enemies in our land to the person that looks in the mirror. We saw Dione. She knows the spell that will open the door to Tower Ice Hill. And you will save Aspunee and Karoline, they are in that land trapped. We need to find Aspunee because she is the only one who knows where Zatho has taken Karoline, Colrado. You know.
–A heart of the dragon is in the hands of ice core. –said the bee.
–Monkeys.- Said Colrado while drinking the yellow drink and knocked his hand on the tall tree. – I must find monkeys. Then. I know where is Aspunee.
–What?- said the magician Thozaro.
–Nothing.-said confusingly the other magician named Saj who stepped in the room. He was tall and with green hair. -You two must protect the Dargt, and must kill the Dragon King.- he pushed Darkstar and shook his hand strongly. – Protection. I see. You are the prince. Dione, tell him the code we have only two hours till the Gulstars attack on us, see.
– Of course. If we find him...- Said Colrado. – Zatho. What must we do with Rubin heart?
–Yes when you find him.- said the magician. – Then the rubin heart will be safe with us.
–Here is it.- the other magician Saj put the finger on the chart that covered his rope. - On the Ice of Gultarf. The Hill.
Everyone saw a map covered with blood lines and towns points.
–In chest of stone. A rubin heart.-Said Colrado watching the chest in the ice with the rubin heart. – But what is the code? How do we open the door to mermaid land? You know. We must win or Gulstar will destroy us all.
–Thanks Colrado. - Said the magician. – It is on Dione now. She must say it. Only she. We must wait. Shelfs... Say. Say it.
- But my Apunee. She is in danger. I can't wait. No. It is not my...
And I watched Colrado waiting in front of me with anger, but I didn't know what to say. A code, I never heard a code. For mermaid land. My father never said this place exisits. This place and beautiful Darkstar, he is so beautiful.
Am I draming? No. Magicians are real. I was in the fairyland and they wanted a code from me. The only thing I could say was.
- I do not say what I cannot say. But The sun and the moon are close to see. That is what my father said to me. I think it is the code. Put the words in the music... I don't know... Music.
Suddenly a jump of a horse was heard and Darkstar took my hand. I looked in his dark eyes. There was the light of a brave man. I felt free and like I could do anything now. Is it o.k. if I said to him that he is beautiful?
No. It is not the time for love. You have Angelo, say. Are you in love in Darkstar?
I blushed. I was in love with Darkstar and when the sun went down I kissed him.
- But, open your eyes, the One!
- Dione! – I said. – My name... Darkstar? What are you doing here? Did I kiss you? I am sorry. That is ... I like you. What are you doing? Are we flying.... What are you...
- Saving you. Go!
–Enemies! Everywhere!!!-screamed Darkstar weaving his sword in the thin air. We were on the horse that flew.
Syrene stood there slowly breathing as her eyes turned black. She opened her hands and when Darkstar turned his sword to the small man in black rope she sended clear dark water on the opponent.
Darkstar jumped.
She smilled. The bad mermaid. She hold a neckless and hold Darkstar just before she felt pain in his hand.
–Darkstar, watch...Here! – I said.
But it was too late.
He was taken. And then I stood looking in his familiar eyes.
- Angelo! You are Angelo?- I said, but I must have been mistaken. I was confused. I was away from home and alone. I saw the stars. And was on the flying horse.
- Grab one to take you home. – Said the horse.
- What you speak? I was scared.
Then I grab one. Oh, I said. Ah am I flying? And did I just grab horse hair... Darkstar what was happining?
The night was with stars, the Moon and the boats of Lion breathe. The black water.... The black water was here. It pushed it hard. Poison. What I do what do I do not know. Suddenly. The code was here, it springled in me like a moonlove.
Tower Ice Hill was near me. The little town souranded with thick forest. The buildings were old and black. And a dragon was watching me.
–Where am I? What happened?
–You are here. I saved you from her.-he said slowly.
–No, you, who are you.- Said I.
–Don' t
