Re: The Great Luna Bracelet (Sakume)
"I really don't feel any stronger. If anything, I feel a little weaker. I keep hearing this voice in my head. It’s weird. Sounds almost friendly.”
Sara cocked her head slightly. “A voice? Raziel, that doesn’t sound like completely good news…”
“Hey, look! There it is!” Raziel commented, rocketing in front of Sara towards the ruins in the distance. He approached with slight caution and child-like wonder, examining the stone remnants of what looked to be very old mortar. “Pretty old, too. Hundreds, at least.” Little did the lycan know how far off he was. “Well-built, though. There was a window nearby here, probably stained glass. And there, that was the entrance. Wow, this church was huge when it was built.”
Sara finally caught up to him, panting slightly. “Hey, wait up for me. Did you find anything? Raziel?” She turned to see him standing just where the main stained glass window would have been. However, instead of Raziel standing there, it wasn’t him. It was a different man entirely. His clothing had shifted colors, the edges of his cloak filling out with a pure white. His hair lengthened greatly, the edges of his shoulders completely covered, the last of the hair reaching to the middle back. His eyes were no longer their dark reflective normal selves, but now they were a bright, icy blue color.
“Raziel?” Sara asked in shock, approaching him cautiously, ready to attack.
“Finally, I’m out.” The figure looked at himself, and then out to sea again. “I thought he would never allow me to escape.”
“Who are you, I will not ask again!” Sara threatened.
“Stow your weapons and temper, girl. I’m the White Knight. This fool, the one who you were traveling with, he accepted the pact. That is why I’m here.”
“Pact, what pact?” She snapped, eyeing the strange man. This wasn’t Raziel, and it wasn’t making sense what he said.
The man sighed, still looking out the sea. “The one you are traveling with, this Raziel, he touched the pearl, did he not?” As proof without an answer, the man took the small item and dangled it in front of the woman. “In doing so, he accepted my soul into his body. I am the White Knight. I have been sealed in that pearl, waiting the day when I would be released. Now, I am, and he has no choice whether to accept or not. Oh, and don’t think about trying to force me to return.” Sara slowly lowered her weaponry. “If you hurt me, you’ll only hurt him, too. And I don’t think you want that on your conscience.”
“What do you want?”
“This place…why are you here?”
“Answer my question!” Sara retorted angrily.
He smirked at her face, reflecting pure annoyance towards him. “You don’t like me. I don’t blame you. Now, why are you here?”
“I was looking for more information about the luna bracelet with Raziel… why?”
“Luna bracelet.” The White Knight stated slowly. “Sounds familiar, somehow. Ah, yes. I recall now. The bracelet the Prince used to help the princess on land. How could I have ever forgotten such an event?”
“What?” Sarah growled, narrowing her eyes.
“I am from Atlantis. The city underwater, in case you don’t know what it is I speak of. The prince of Atlantis, he helped this princess those years ago, helped her find the luna bracelet and use it to save her people. It may have been this… it was this location that they used to meet at. He loved her, but she didn’t return his feelings. I, myself, was close to the prince. Perhaps a servant of his, I cannot recall. I must return as soon as possible, and see him myself. Perhaps he can sort it out.”
“Sort it out?” Sara paused for a moment. “But… but Atlantis is… is ruins.”
“What?” The White Knight turned to look at her. “What do you mean, ruined?”
“It’s… it’s gone. It’s been destroyed for as long as anyone can remember.”
“Gone? But… but that’s impossible… I will see for myself. After this luna bracelet is sorted out. Now, where are we supposed to go to get this thing?” He asked, sitting down on a piece of wreckage and looking at the girl.
