The Path of Destiny - The Blue Moon Ch 3.

Since the previous chapter was pretty long I decided to make this one a bit shorter.... Hope you enjoy :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was dead quiet. Just Arian was still talking quietly. Karmisha started to close her eyes. Eunis carefully stood up. She went to the kitchen and took shallow wicker basket. When she returned to her room, she put the basket on the floor next to the bed. Then she looked to closet and took some blankets. Karmisha already fell asleep. Eunis quietly gestured for him to put her in there. He nodded and gently laid her in the basket. They sneaked out of the room and closed the door. They sat on the doorstep of the front door.

“Thank you very much. Without you, she could die.” Arian said quietly.

Eunis smiled little: “It was nothing. If you didn´t bring her I wouldn´t be able to help.” Then she frowned little bit. “Anyway… what were you saying her?”

Arian was looking forward. His face was sad: “That was part of my mom´s lullaby. She sang it to me before sleep.” He hardly holds tears.

“What happened?”

Arian wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and smiled sweetly. “Nothing.” Eunis saw sadness in his eyes, but she smiled back anyway. Arian stood and looked up at the sky. “There is still lot of time till the lunch. What if I teach you the next dance? “

“Sounds good.” Eunis also stood and followed Ariana way to a nearby clearing.

“Don´t laugh at me! That´s not funny.” Eunis shout him down. Arian was writhed with laughter. Eunis stood up and offended crossed her arms over her chest. “Sorry. Try again. “ he encouraged her once he caught his breath. Eunis sighed and tried unsuccessful part of the dance. But at the same part she tripped over again and fell down.

“See? I told you.” She said sadly and sat down.

“It´s not anything hard. The beginning is the same as from the before. And then you won´t go forward here, but you take two steps back. Then you jump, turn and bow.” He showed her his words. Eunis was impressed by the lightness of his moves. They tried it together. Step by step. But she fell again.

“See, I´ll never learn this part.” Eunis felt clumsy and stupid.

“Don´t worry.” he gave her an encouraging smile. “It´ll maybe take more time, but you´ll see. Tomorrow it´ll be much better.” Eunis nodded and they try it again. They were too busy with dancing that they didn´t notice that was already lunch time. Until the singing of Armis brought them back to reality. His sweet voice floated through the woods like the sound of the flute of moon Goddess Artemis, which was made from the very moon rock. According to her, the bird was also named. It is said that when misery and poverty ruled in the village, Artemis helped them. Thanks to her village was again filled with joy and singing. In return, villagers gave her beautiful and rare bird from the local forests. But he could not sing. It was completely silent. Goddess took pity on him. She put into his neck a part of her flute. Since then, every Armis sing a melody that Artemis though them. His singing also serves as a reminder of her noble act. Armis sings only once or twice per day, so his voice won´t become common-place. Eunis looked back. In the crown of high Plantago she saw the brightly colored feathers of Armis. Eunis been kidnapped by his beauty. Armis honored them by last known tunes, he flapped his wings and disappeared into the trees.

“He is gorgeous.”

“He is. It´s pretty late. I think we dance enough for today. After lunch, come to the statue. I want to show you my favorite place.”

“But I still must practice.”

“Come on. You are good. And even training should not overdo it.” Eunis hesitated for a moment but then she nodded.

“You´re right. I´ll see you later.”

Eunis was humming Armis´s melody. She didn´t even noticed dark yellow eyes from behind bushes.
