Queen Lady Serenity longed for the night when she could leave the confines of royal obligations, pointless balls, and advisors hounding her for a husband and heir. Then she could escape and defy them all when the least expected it.

She flew up past the realms of normal consciousness and entered where no one could enter. However, the rules were different for her. Disregarded by benevolent beings who knew how her heart broke and the one lay within as well. They turned a blind eye and a deaf ear, allowing them the illusion of happiness when they could never hope for the real thing.

She ran to the temple, cotton candy streamers trailing out behind her like an after thought. She saw him standing there, flagged by his two maidens who guarded him. They turned their backs as always as he opened his arms.

"Helios!" she whispered with a smile on her face to stop the tears from coming. Then she flung herself into those arms as the closed around her like a cage. A cage neither one of them would ever escape.
