Chapter One - A Tale Begins
"What - now?" "Really?" "We arenapos;t prepared yet" "Where is everyone?"
A man stepped forward. "We have to get them out of here"
"Where are they?" "I havenapos;t seen apos;em." "Mitsuko-hime." "Kokuei-hime."
"Theyapos;re safe - for -"
An explosion - blinding, deafening, terrifying.
"Leave" "But, I -"
Another explosion - even louder.
A womanapos;s voice - kind, motherly, full of care and worry.
"Weapos;re ready"
In the distance� - shouts, battle cries: "Protect Kokuei-hime" "Defend Mitsuko-hime" "For Aduial"
The cries of children on a bumpy road, full of fear and incomprehension.
A glance back - a large fire consuming everything dear - quickly fading into the distance.
The woman - "Shhh, little ones. Donapos;t cry."
A large bump - the crash back to earth. Pain, and then darkness. Darkness all consuming. Darkness that is menacing, overpowering, and frightful. And silence, deep, dead silence - broken only by screaming - a scream of pure terror.
Lily threw her eyes open as she flew up in her bed. As she caught her breath, she realized that she had been screaming in her sleep- not that she was surpirsed to discover that, as this was the 10th night in a row that sheapos;d had the same nightmare. As she threw her auburn hair out from in front of her face, she composed herself with her basic breathing exercises.
And in, and out. Good air in, bad air out.
After about a minute, she felt calm enough to appreciate the beautiful morning that lay before her out her window. The sun had gone halfway up the sky and a small few clouds of pure white slowly drifted by. Below was a rather majestic landscape - calm, tranquil, full of long rolling hills, punctuated by a few tall trees and scattered flowers. And in the middle of the landscape was her sister, Shayde, making her way to school.
SCHOOL The thought hit her mind like an arrow. Lily sprung out of bed faster than she had sat up, her inner peace punctured by panic. Her mind raced as she tore off her night clothes, ripping her sleeve slightly in the process. Once decent - throwing on the nearest articles of clothing she could find - she dashed out of her room, throwing a hasty goodbye to her mother, and raced to catch up to her sister.
