Surprise! Surprise! Merry Christmas @kireiscorner from your LoliRock Secret Santa! I know you wanted something with Talisto but the direction I was trying to go for went far left lol. I know you wanted something related to your culture and religion so I decided to go with having a parranda! I know how much Christianity means to you and I didn’t want to botch it so I had to kinda redo it all. But it all worked out! Also I didn’t know what was a good song for a parranda so I decided to use the one called “Let Love Light the Way” from Elena of Avalor. I hope you enjoy it!
Let Love Light the Way
The entire place was beautiful. Nothing but pristine decorations everywhere. Garland of the colors of silver, crystal blue, and white wrapped around the banisters all around the palace. Crystal gems that looked like stars hung from the ceiling like chandeliers. The palace looked enchanting. Despite the enthralling look of the building, a lingering atmosphere of disappointment and frustration filled the room with a pair of siblings. Two thirteen year-olds were reading some comic books while listening to music. The male twin sighed in frustration
“I hate this! Why did mom and dad have to be away of all times?” He angrily turned a page in the book. He heard his sister sigh.
“I know, I know Damien. I hate that mom and dad are away too but they’ll be back in a few days! Then we can ring in the new year together!”
“It’s not the same though Ana!” Damien sighed as he closed the book. “Stupid council. Always trying to keep everyone busy just because they’re grumpy and smell weird.” Ana laughed at her twin’s comment. “Not to mention that our parents won’t be here with us to share and open presents. It’s not fun if they aren’t here.”
Ana nodded in agreement. “Do you still have any ideas on what to get them too?” The girl closed the comic and took out a notebook. She smiled at some of the lyrics she came up with several months ago. It wasn’t easy to make them either. Ana looked up when she heard Damien humming to himself.
“I...got nothing.”
“...Dude, really. We need an idea.”
Damien pulled his silver hair a bit. “I literally don’t have any idea! It’s not like we can just buy them something! We’re royalty for Ephedian sake! Mom could easily just request for something to be made in no time flat! And knowing dad, if it’s not something he could use to give to mom or prank Auntie Prax with, he won’t use it.” The little prince sighed again. “We’re not really small kids anymore Ana. It’s hard to figure out what to get for the best parents ever this time of year. Not to mention that they won’t be home to have it. The magic of it all won’t be there.”
Damien’s elder twin frowned. Her brother was right. It’s not like they can just make any little drawing or bracelet. Something has to be from the heart. But what exactly can they do? Anastasia flipped through some of the pages in her song book. She carefully read the lyrics she stayed up all night for. A gentle tune went through her mind as she looked over her recent song. An idea suddenly hit her like a bolt of lightning.
“I got it!” Her younger twin almost fell out of his chair from the sudden outburst.
“Got what?”
“We’ll write a song! That’s their gift!” Damien blinked his honey eyes a few times.
“A song? That’s our gift to them?” Damien pondered over it. “Keep talking sis.”
“Okay, so we can just call them and sing our own song to them. That way, they can get their gift from us and the magic can be there!”
“Not bad! Not bad at all! How many days do we got left?”
“Not sure. Let me check.” Ana grabbed a calendar from her brother’s desk. Her shoulders slumped in a bit of disappointment.
“We only have today…”
“Not a problem! To the music room!” Damien gathered two books and Anastasia’s song books. He grabbed his twin’s hand and ran out of the room.
“What’s another word that rhymes with ‘holiday’?” The younger twin huffed as he thought.
“Um…’goliday’?”
Ana frowned. “That’s not even a word.” She sighed out loud. They’ve been in the music room for an hour and so far, they haven’t gotten anywhere aside from one or two lines. It also didn’t help that the siblings were getting hungry.
“Sorry but I’m not the songwriter here! That’s in your territory.”
Ana sighed again. “Let’s just go and get lunch. I’m starving.”
Damien shrugged in agreement. He hopped off of the piano and opened the door for his sister. Both siblings walked down a long hallway to reach the dining hall.
“This songwriting thing is a lot harder than it looks. How do you even manage to do it?”
His sister shrugged. “I dunno. Sometimes it just comes to me. It can get super annoying too.”
Green eyes looked up to see a painted family portrait on the wall. In the painting was a woman with beautiful dark brown skin and short crystal blue hair. She was sitting in a chair, wearing a white and dark blue gown with sheer material at the bottom to show off her nice legs. Her honey-colored eyes showed warmth and love that can draw anyone to them. Next to her was a man with porcelain skin with numerous scars that hold many untold stories. His hair was long and the color of sweet red wine. His snake-like eyes were green: playful and inviting. A royal robe of dark and light green fitted him perfectly. He smiled to show off his fangs. Both royals were holding two small children smiling widely. Anastasia smiled from seeing the painting. She was so lucky to have such amazing and beautiful parents. A small frown graced her face when she felt a twinge of pain coming from her arm.
“You’re too busy staring into space to see you almost ran into the door Miss Daisy!” Damien smirked after pinching his sister. Both teens walked into the large dining hall and took their seats. A smell of roasted meat coming from the kitchen made their mouths water in anticipation.
“Afternoon your Highnesses!” A servant with long purple locs came from the double doors with two silver domes covering their trays. He sets them before the young royals and uncovers the food. “Today you will have vunelury sandwiches: one with onatoes and the other without. Along for your sides, you will have funnel fries and a helping of your favorite fruits. For your drinks, we have zunnilade and abble juice.”
“Thanks Kylo!” Both twins said in unison before digging into their food.
“You’re very welcome!” The servant spotted Anastasia’s notebook on the table. “Writing another song Ms. Ana?”
The elder twin swallowed her food. “Yeah! We’re trying to-”
“Don’t give it away Miss Daisy! It’s supposed to be a secret!” Damien chided with his mouth full.
“It’s a secret present from our parents doofus! Kylo wouldn’t tell them anything!” Green eyes narrowed at the younger Ydinoran prince.
“A present you say? For the holiday tomorrow?” Asked Kylo, arching his eyebrow in curiosity.
“Yeah. We know they can’t be here nor did we have any ideas on what to get them. So we decided to write a song instead!” Anastasia briefly shifted her eyes downward. “We just wish they’d be here instead of having to come home way later. And yes, we know it’s for the kingdom’s business but it still sucks.”
The brown-skinned man smiled. He took a pitcher and poured more juice into his prince’s cup. “You kids are something special. Your idea is wonderful.” He briefly thought of an idea. “Perhaps you can give your parents their gift along with something that can make it more special.”
The “special” part piqued the twin’s interest.
“What do you mean by ‘special’?” Ana asked as she peeled a munana.
“Do you mind if I take a rest?”
“Of course you can! You’re family Sly-Ky!” Damien smiled from hearing the elder man chuckle. Kylo took a seat in front of the young royals.
“Well...Before you were born and before the war with Gramorr,” The servant took a small breath from mentioning the evil wizard’s name, “there was a tradition that we Xerins loved to do for this holiday every year. We used to gather in large groups and sing songs together. We’d bring anyone that wanted to come along and we’d go to the town square. It became a large celebration with food, some games, and a lot of fellowship. We call the custom a ‘parranda’.” Kylo gave a small smile. “Your mother and Aunt Izira led a parranda once when they were children.”
“They did?!”
“Yes! It was such a wonderful time!” The elder servant gave a sad smile. “The tradition seems to be lost now. It would be splendid if everyone could remember the parranda.”
The twins finished their food and looked at each other. To think that an entire tradition was forgotten because of a war that happened before they were born! As if they had telepathy, the siblings smiled and nodded to each other in agreement. They turned to the servant and gave wide smiles.
“Kylo? Can you help us with our gift? For everyone?”
The man widened his eyes in shock. Tears threatened to spill from the overwhelming emotion. These kids are truly special. He smiled and nodded.
“Of course!”
Anastasia and her brother rose from the table and took Kylo’s hands.
“Then let’s get moving! We have to get this finished by tonight!”
A sigh came from the woman’s lips. She was exhausted from attending that four hour long meeting. Why couldn’t she just stay home for this? She felt a migraine coming on and she didn’t like it one bit.
“Talia? You okay?” Honey-colored orbs looked up to see a man with burgundy hair holding a platter of tea and an assortment of desserts. He sets the platter down on the table in front of Talia.
“I guess I am.” The tone in her voice didn’t ease his worries.
“Talk to me.” The man sat down next to his wife and hugged her. He felt Talia relax in his hold.
“I just...Mephisto, that meeting was longer than necessary all because the council of Zexon and Martine were complete morons! And it didn’t help that three of them questioned my authority!” Talia fought tears of frustration from leaking. “Not to mention that it’s the holiday and we can’t be with Dami and Ana. We made sure to not leave the kids by themselves on holidays. I don’t want them to go through that like how we did!” Talia felt her husband’s embrace grow tighter.
“I know...But we just need to last a little longer. I hate not being with my juice bugs right now. I got their presents ready to knock their socks off!” Mephisto pumped his fist into the air, causing his wife to chuckle.
“The sooner we sort out everything, the sooner we can go home.”
“Okay, let’s go over this one more time.” Declared Anastasia as she strummed the chords of her guitar. Her brother had his own guitar in his arms, tuning one of the chords correctly. The pair began to sing their song in harmony, striking the correct chords to their specific notes. Once they were done, Kylo stood up to give an ovation.
“You two are definitely ready.”
“We are?”
Kylo nodded. “Yes, you are. We’ve practiced more than enough. Now is the time!” Both twins grinned widely. “I’ll let the maids prepare your clothing at once. Be sure to pick the best footwear for walking!” On that note, the servant left the room.
The elder twin released a breath. “We did it! And just in time too.”
“I know! I just hope that mom and dad will like it.”
“They will! I guarantee it! It’s your nerves talking you dork.”
Honey eyes rolled in amusement of the nickname. “Come on. We gotta get going.”
The royal twins of Ydinora quickly made their way to their chambers. Their robes for the holiday were laid across their beds, waiting to be worn. Both siblings quickly changed into their royal holiday robes and grabbed their guitars. They met each other in the hallway.
“Do I look okay?” Ana did a three-sixty to show off her robe. It was white with a sheer tail cascading down below her waist. Her arms were laced with a design of a wild Edenian flower vine that sparkled in the light. The bust was covered with sparkly diamonds as well as the waist. Anastasia’s hair was pulled into a high ponytail with a Xuna flower accenting the silver locks.
Damien looked up and down and smiled. “Like a sparkly dork.” His sister rolled her eyes.
“Whatever. At least you look decent.” Ana smiled and rolled her eyes as her brother did a three-sixty as well. He was wearing a similar robe but had on a sheer cape and fancy bow tie. The design on his sleeves were the vines of a different Ephedian wildflower with a different glittered color.
“I look amazing! In any case, we need to meet with Kylo. We gotta get started somewhere.”
The elder twin nodded as she led her brother down the hall. The twins reached the gate of the palace and saw several servants and guards waiting for them to arrive. Kylo was among them.
“Evening your Highnesses! Are you prepared?”
They both nodded. “As prepared as we’ll ever be!”
“Then let us begin!”
Anastasia strummed her guitar first before Damien joined in. “It’s holiday time! The most special of seasons! So come gather round to remember the reason.” The group exits out of the main gate and start walking into the villages.
Damien smiled as he saw people coming out of their homes with bright smiles. He took his turn to sing next. “So come walk with me! Sing along and you’ll see! On this holiday, let love light the way!”
Both twins joined together in harmony. “You need nothing more! Than those you adore! On this holiday, let love light the way!”
The group got larger and larger with more Ydinorian citizens joining in. Many young adults and elders were overjoyed to reunite with their tradition that was buried those years ago. Some citizens brought snacks and actual meals to share with everyone as they traveled to the destination the twins were leading to. Everyone was able to catch on to the chorus of the song in no-time flat as they continued to walk through the realm of Ignus. Many villagers of the realm came out of their homes to join in as well. The young royals of Ydinora beamed when the citizens of Ignus marched out with their traditional instruments and joined in. Their traditional foods were shared among the Ydinorians and vice-versa. The large crowd came by the royal palace where a young princess ran out with her traditional holiday robe on. Three guards and an advisor came out with her as well.
“I can’t believe it! An actual parranda!” The princess exclaimed, running straight for the twins at the gate.
“Hey Karina! Are you joining in too?”
“No, I’m just standing outside looking fancy for the grass. Of course I’m joining in!” The Ignus princess stood next to Anastasia and started marching. “Where are we headed by the way?”
“To give a special gift for two special people.”
Talia stretched to the ceiling and felt a gentle pop from her back. That tension is finally gone. She changed into a casual outfit consisting a blue blouse with dark blue pants and black ballet flats. It’s almost dinner time and all she wanted to do was eat and stay in her room. It’s enough that she won’t be home with her babies for the holiday but to deal with more idiocy from those council members? If she didn’t have that restraint and poise, she would’ve done something she wouldn’t be proud of but wouldn’t care. She was about to take a book out from her bag but stopped when she heard the door slam open.
“Crystal-offensio!” Talia stopped the barrage of crystals when she heard several familiar screams.
“Honey! It’s only me and the others!” Mephisto yelled as he let down his shield.
“Well I wouldn’t have done that if you didn’t burst through the door like that!” She crossed her arms, trying to lessen her racing heartbeat.
A woman with flowing pink hair stepped into the room. Another woman with an orange ponytail stepped in. “We’re sorry for scaring you!”
Honey-colored orbs rolled in annoyance. “Well, can anyone please tell me why you guys just busted into my room like something happened?”
The woman with the orange ponytail bounced up and down like she used to as a teenager. “Ooohh! Talia! You gotta come see this! You’re gonna love it!”
“Love exactly what Auriana? You got any idea what she’s talking about Iris?”
Blue eyes shined with excitement. The Ephedian queen gently pushed her friend outside of the room. “It’d be much better if you just come and see for yourself.”
Talia briefly huffed as she was pushed to the main hallway. The group walked to the end then took a right to lead out to the balcony that oversees the very large courtyard. Mephisto opened the door and escorted his wife out.
“On this holiday, let love light the way!” The voices of hundreds rang in the air. Talia was stunned by how many people came to the realm and sang their hearts out. Where did they come from?! Why are they here?!
“Talia! Look down there at the fountain!” Exclaimed Auriana with sheer excitement.
Talia looked at the fountain and felt tears spring to her eyes. She felt her husband wrap his arm around her to keep her from falling to her knees. On the large fountain stood the young Ydinorian twins in their festive robes, strumming their guitars and singing out. Beside both of them were the princesses of the realms of Ignus, Volta, Calix, Sirius, and Zuron, Kylo, Queen Izira and Praxina. They were surrounded by guards from each realm that came to join the parranda.
“So come sing with me! All together we’ll be! On this holiday, let love light the way!” The instruments from each realm was heard. Love and warmth radiated from the entire crowd. Tears finally shed from Talia’s eyes from happiness. She hasn’t had a parranda since she was a child nor has she seen such a large crowd of many Ephedians come together to attend a Xerin tradition.
Without another second to spare, Talia raced back inside and flew down the stairs. Her husband and friends were right on her heels. She came out of the main door and raced to the sea of singing Ephedians. The guards stepped aside to let the twins meet their parents. The twins stopped singing while the crowd continued.
“Hi mom! Hi dad!” Anastasia grinned as she set her guitar down on the side.
Talia sniffed, taking a hanky from Mephisto and dabbed her eyes. “What is all of this? What are you two doing here?”
“I’d like to know myself kiddos.” Praxina’s brother wasn’t upset, but he was still concerned considering how the kids had to walk for miles upon miles just to get here.
The twins looked at each other and nodded. “This is your gift from us to you!”
“We thought it’d be okay if we came to you guys for the holiday. It’s not fun if you two are away! And we didn’t know what to get you. So, here you go!”
Both parents laughed as they brought their children into their arms and hugged them tightly. The crowd cheered from seeing the Ydinorian royal family reunite. Talia and Mephisto released the twins but kept them at a close length.
“You two really outdid yourselves. I’m truly speechless! From the song to reviving the parranda? This is the greatest gift I’ve ever received!” Talia kissed her babies’ foreheads. “I love you so much!”
“Kids, you must’ve done something right to make your mother this speechless. The last time that happened was when you first got your powers!” Mephisto winced in pain from receiving a hard punch from his older twin.
“Don’t ruin the moment fool!”
The group of royals laughed as Mephisto rubbed his arm.
“Ana? Dami? Can we join in too?”
The twins’ eyes light up like fireworks bursting in the sky. They grabbed their guitars and started strumming the strings.
“Follow our lead!” The group nodded as Ana and her twin began to sing once more.
“And down every street are new friends we can meet! On this holiday, let love light the way!” Several dancers from Ignus readied their stances and used their magic to perform a series of fireworks to burst in the evening sky. “So come walk with me! Sing along and you’ll see! On this holiday, let love light the way!”
The queens of Ephedia and Volta paired together and locked arms with each other. Praxina did the same thing with her sister-in-law despite frowning from the loud volume of villagers singing and performing with their instruments. Mephisto held Talia with one arm while wrapping the other around Ana. Talia wrapped both of her arms around both of the twins.
“You need nothing more! Than those you adore! On this holiday, let love-”
“Let love-”
“Let love-”
“Let love-”
“Let love light the way!” More fireworks popped into the night. The large crowd consisting of various realms cheered as they fellowshipped with each other. The twins set their guitars down and tightly hugged their parents.
“We love you mom and dad! And happy holidays!” Talia and Mephisto exhaled with love and happiness as they squeezed their children.
“And we love you too! Thank you for the best presents ever!”
