Chapter 6
She looked up into the night sky. The stars were shining.
A voice echoed around her. “Opalescence, now that you have found the spirit, she will guide you. A spark will cause her to show her true form as the spirit. With the help of the spirit you will be lead through the moonlight and you will save your sister.”
Opal knew it was Starclan. She kept looking up. “I don’t understand… what spark? How will the spark appear? When?” Ahe pleaded for an answer. There was only silence.
*~*~*
The next day it was sunny. Opal knew she had to get moving or her sister might die.
Rarity was sitting and making a dress; singing while she worked. Opal jumped on the table where Rarity's fabrics had been laid out.
“Opal? what is it, dear?" Rarity saw and udnerstood the worried look in her cat's eyes. Something was definately wrong!
Opal tried to explain but Rarity was not able to understand. Stupid language barrier. Opal started crying. The spirit was right there and couldn't do anything! Her sister was dying!
Rarity hugged Opal. “Don’t cry, darling. Everything will be just fine, don’t you worry.”
Opal looked in Rarity’s eyes. She looked deeper - Was that her soul?! - as if she was hypnotizing Rarity. Opal was hoping she was doing the right thing.
Suddenly and spontaneuosly Rarity’s eyes glowed. “AAAAAYAAAAAHAAAYAAA” She screamed... and fainted.
Almost as oddly, a spectral cat came out of Rarity’s chest. It had glowing blue eyes and a diamond stuck to its chest. Opal finally got the point of the spirit of generosity. It was a cat.
“Well, hello there, young Warrior! How can the spirit of the diamond help you?” The gemstone-studded cat asked.
Opalescence bowed. “I am Opalescence. I was guided by Starclan to you in order to save my sister from death. They said that you would help me." Quickly, she added. "Oh, great spirit of the diamond.”
"Very well Opalescence, I shall help you in search of your sister. Follow my signs to complete your quest.” The spirit said and disappeared.
Opalescence looked at Rarity. Her body was lying still, she was barely breathing, and her heartbeat was faint. She was still alive, but it would only be a matter of time, since her spirit had left her. Opalescence closed his eyes and faced the dreadful, gruesome reality.
“If the spirit doesn’t come back to her before the next sunset…” She whispered. “Rarity will die.”
