The begining of my newest story, it has no title yet though.
Chapter 1- The youngest Mystian ~
The cold nights were coming closer, and time began to slow down a bit. Everything was calming down in the land of Mystic. Snow began to fall quietly and softly. The ground began to fill with snow slowly. People walked around the city without a worry in the world, leaving foot prints behind them, just like they had left their past. Their goal was to move foward and forget everything that has happend. So far, almost everyone had forgotten what happend to them in the past, the past ten years was hell to them, And only a group of people know now. It's like everyones minds had been erased from existance, filled with a false past that they all follow now. "There was not a war, and nobody died from this "war". Only sickness and age killed the people of Mystic." Read one of the history books of Mystic. But... You know that's not the truth, right? Right. One girl beleived it to be wrong and spoke up about this while doing homework in her own house...
"Mother.. Do you actually beleive this story?" She asked as she pointed at her history book. She had a puzzled look upon her face.The woman looked at her child and glared slightly.
"Why do you say that?" She asked and turned the other direction.
"Well... I don't really beleive anything in this book..." The girl closed the book and looked at her mother. The woman looked back at her and put on a fake smile.
"Dear.. It's all true, the government of Mystic wouldn't have written a lie, would they have?" She continued to wear her fake smile.
"... Mother, to be honest, I think it's bull s**t" Her mother looked at her and stood up quickly.
"You're just like your older sister..." She looked away from the child.
"...Sister? Wait... What are you talking about mother? I don't... I have a sister? ... What.. Where is she? You said I only had an older brother... that you can't seem to locate, now you say I have a sister... I'm so confused... Mother! Tell me!" The girl stood up quickly and forced her mother to turn to her.
"Yes... You have a sister, happy? She's gone now though, happend eleven years ago, she would be... 28 now..." She smiled.
"... Mother, what was her name?" Kunon smiled brightly at Luna for hearing that she wasn't an only child anymore.
"Taoma" Luna sighed heavily when she said that name.
"... Taoma... I've heard that name before..."
"Well, you can forget it now, she's dead. Kunon... Stop talking about your sister, and how you don't think any of this is true, just finish your homework before nightfall..."
"... Mom" Kunon looked at Luna, her mother and then looked away. She began to finish her homework and didn't talk until she was finished. Luna looked at her then smiled.
"Your sister never went to school you know, you should be happy that you're in.." Luna said with a smirk on her face.
"... Why didn't she go to school mother?" Kunon looked at Luna with a confused look upon her face.
"Well... back when she was around, things weren't so great." Kunon stood up quickly and walked to her room, she stopped before entering.
"Call me when dinner is finished okay mom?" Kunon smiled and went inside her room then sat on her bed. "I knew I've heard that name before..." She said as she reached under her bed to retreive a note then began to read.
"... I don't know how much longer I can stand it here, Life sucks really bad right now, I just want papa to come take me away. I'd rather live with a bunch of dragons and men than to stay here with my mom... Luna. I hope who ever is reading this leaves soon, and if it's you, Mother... Luna... I have failed. Oh god... she's coming, I don't think I will ever have time to finish this letter, oh... Kaze! I need to see you again my brother!! Oshi, my father...
~Taoma Starcrest
p.s. Please ignore the blood driplets... Those were just from something that happend earlier... Luna was involved... I'm sure if you went to the basement, you could easily find out what kinda crap took place before I run. Well, i'm off now. supprised that I was able to fit this into the letter before she got here... oh my..."
Kunon folded the paper and stuffed it into her pocket. "What did she mean... Mother isn't that bad to live with... And who's Oshi? I've never heard that name before... Maybe I should ask her more about "Taoma"... I want to learn more about my sister..." She stood up and looked around her room. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Kunon ran to her window to see who it was.
"Please Luna, Let me in, I want to see her..." A man with black hair and a red tie like thing in his hair flowing in the wind. Kunon couldn't tell who this was but she could see his bright red eyes. He wore all black and some red from what she could see. She had to get a better view of this man, she then ran out of her room quickly and ran to the stairs.
"...You know I can't let you into my life any longer..." Luna placed her hand on his shoulder. The man quickly removed it.
"Luna, I just want to see Kunon..." He shuffled his feet on the welcome mat.
"... Hm... But does she want to see you?" The man looked down at the ground then back up at Luna. "Ahhh... You don't know the answer to that, now do you? Look, just go away." Luna tried to push him away from the house.
"Mom! ... Who is this?" She said while walking down the stairs with her eyes fixed on his bright eyes, which seemed to brighten even more up when he saw Kunon. Luna turned towards Kunon, and smiled.
"Him? Oh, he's just some traveler looking for some warm place to stay during this storm." Kunon could tell that she was lying again.
"Oh! Let him stay mother!" She had a weird feeling about this man, and wanted him to stay at the house for a few days, if not longer. "Please mother, I'll give up my room for him." Kunon ran to Luna and hugged her arm. "please mother!" The man smiled and looked at Luna.
"So... Do you think I can stay for a few days? Just until the storm lifts?" He asked. Luna glared at him and slightly smiled, her fake smile again, her eye also twitched. Kunon smiled at her mother cause she thought the twitch was kinda funny.
"Oh, yes, you can take the girls room. Come on in!" She sounded too happy, Kunon knew she was faking it, hell, even the man knew she was just trying to look nice in front of her kid. "I'm going to go make some dinner, why don't you go show him to his room Kunon?" Luna smiled more and walked towards the kitchen and began to cook something for them to eat that night. "What is he going to do to her..." Luna sighed and began to cut carrots with a small dagger that she carried around with her for 'just in case' reasons.
"Okay mother." She said grabbing his arm and pulling him upstairs with her. When she got the man into the room with her, she quickly shut the door. "Okay... Who are you? And what do you think of these history books..." The first thing she asked. The man smiled.
"Well..." He sat on the bed. Kunon sat next to him and looked up at him. "If you promise not to tell lady Luna who I am, I think I can tell you who I am." He smiled. Kunon agreed not to tell Luna anything. "I'm Oshi... The king of the dragoons, Taoma's father... your... father. And I think those history books are filled with lies, never beleive what the government tells you, it isn't pure like it was in the old days of Mystic." He quickly stood up and looked away. Kunon looked at Oshi then into a mirror that was across her bed.
"So that explains why I have red eyes... Mother doesn't have red eyes and she would never tell me who my father was... Oshi... Where's my sister, Taoma?" She stood up and turned him around. He smiled.
"If I knew, it would be her coming her to get you rather than me. I'm getting old... Ahh... She'll be two hundred years old pretty soon." Kunon was confused.
"... Isn't that a bit old? Nobody lives that long..." Oshi smiled and poked her nose.
"Your mother is turning six hundred next month." Oshi turned back around. "And I will be eight hundred." Kunon looked at the ground, she was beyond confused.
"..But I'm only fifteen. You guys aren't old... Heh... This is all too weird to me, I meet my father, who I had never seen in my entire life, I hear about some sister that is "dead" and that you guys are way older than you look... I mean, you only look like you're thirty."
"Isn't that nice, that's really nice... Ahhh.... You'll understand pretty soon Kunon, now, please pack up some things, i'm going to be taking you to my palace."
"Hm... May I ask why you want to take me?"
"... Kunon, you're my daughter, my second daughter and my third and last child... I want you to have the life that my other two children did not have... Or... the life they were denied. I know you've read that letter that Taoma wrote when she was a child, did you not?" Kunon nodded then looked at her pocket, she pulled the letter out and showed Oshi. "Ahh yes... That's the exact letter that caused Taoma to run away from here." Oshi sat back on the bed and pulled Kunon into his lap. "...The only chances I get to see your sister is when she stops for a visit with her friends, and that hasn't been for a few years now. Kunon.. I'm worried that something happend to her and your brother, Kaze... I would like to take you to my home and train you to become my replacement..." Kunnon looked at Oshi with a sad look in her eyes.
"Replacement!? Of what?" Oshi closed his eyes.
"Like I said, i'm getting older, and I don't have anyone that can take over my palace when I pass on. I would love for it to be my own child..." Kunon looked at her door.
"Uhh... Father..." She interrupted. "I think mother is coming." She hopped off his lap and kneeled down to open a small chest. Oshi stood up and walked to the door.
"I'll talk to you more about this later..." He smiled and walked out of her room. "Oh what a lovely home you have here!" He yelled in a happy voice. Kunon pulled out a small gem.
"... Maybe this can help me." she clasped it and ran out of her room and ran to Oshi before he reached the stairs. "I'll go with you.." She whispered. Oshi smiled brightly then walked downstairs. "But first I want to find my sister... and brother." She thought to herself then followed Oshi down.
The room was filled with this scent. Luna had been cooking while the two were upstairs talking. Luna had no idea what was going on, so continued to cook. When Kunon walked into the room, Luna ran to her.
"Did he say anything to you?" She asked with a paranoid voice. Kunon smiled.
"He just said our house was nice, that's it mother." Kunon pulled a chair out for Oshi, then one for herself. "what's for dinner mother?" Kunon kicked her feet back and fourth like a little kid and waited for her dinner. After dinner was finished, she ran to her room and made a small bed for herself on the floor so she could talk to her father more about him and Taoma. She learned that her sister and him were fighters. Fighters weren't allowed in Mystic any longer so they had gotten rid of all the spell books and locked them in a special place, which was why Kunon couldn't use magic at all yet, Unlike her brother, a magical wiz.
"Your brother... Him and magic were like... I don't know how to explain it dear Kunon, but your brother was the best man I knew who could cast magic so fast, and beautifuly like that. He was a crap for fighter though, when it came to fighting, Taoma was the one you would call. Those two were the best of team mates, one fighting physically, one casting from afar. Oh how I wish you could meet up with them at least once before I left... I would give anything to have you three in the same room with me." Oshi said with this tone that was just so happy. Kunon yawned.
"Father.. I think i'm going to be going to sleep now, It was really nice meeting you today, I've been wanting to meet you for the longest time..." shortly after those words, she fell asleep. Oshi smiled again and got off her bed. He placed her on the bed and covered her up with the blankets, he layed on the floor and fell asleep.
Chapter 2 The forgotten Mystian ~
This city was cold, but there was no snow on the ground and the sun was shining. This city was also dark, even though the sun was out. It was like the sun just wanted to forget that this place even existed.
"...Sister, let's return to Mystic."
".. Kaze... You know I can't... Luna is there waiting for me, and I heard that we have a younger sister to worry about, I don't want to put her life in danger you know." Kaze looked at the girl.
"We can protect her though, Taoma.." Kaze Placed his hands on her shoulders. She looked down. "And you really need to get over this whole "Lance" thing..." Taoma looked in his face.
"Lance... Kaze... I just don't want to hurt our sister."
"I understand that, but I want to go home, you have to understand that Lance isn't going to come back to us, and neither is Keona, Lain, Snow, Myst or Ice. They left us out here to die, I can't beleive you're still waiting here for them to come back, Out of all people, you... You're not like that Tao." Kaze moved his hands back to his waist. "Now, I'm going to start heading towards home, You can follow if you're up to it, or you can wait here..." Kaze turned around and started to slowly walk off.
"Kaze." He turned around and faced her. "I can't... Mother is too strong to face now. I want to train and become stronger." Taoma smiled. Kaze rolled his eyes.
"Good luck with that. I'm going home, hey, if you see Keona, tell her it's over. Kay, thanks." He turned back around and walked off. Taoma sat back on the ground.
"God, I don't even remember where they went to and why." Taoma layed on the ground. "Kaze, you can come out, I know you're behind that rock." Kaze jumped out and fell on his butt.
"Darn, I thought that I had actually gotten to you this time. So, where are we going to today?" he rolled around on the ground like a little kid. Taoma closed her eyes and shrugged. "Why don't you ever know? Woman..." Kaze stood up and looked down at Taoma.
