The Advent of Twilight

Prelude: The Unforgotten

The chandelier swayed in the breeze as the violet curtains danced like flames. All around the walls offered a sort of cold deception reflected off their gray faces. The circular room seemed almost…too perfect for the moment. Underneath the two figures, was a circular, royal blue carpet, which was outlined in gold. In the center of this carpet was a large crescent moon with a star inside of it. Out side of this room was a night like no other. This night rose with the innocence of an infant, and would fall with the blade of a sword. In this night, lightning struck down on the world as if the Gods themselves wished to bring judgement on the people they had created. The rain came down in sheets, heavier than steel and faster than the winds of the world could move. This night would not be forgotten. Inside that room with the foreboding walls and the flickering lights three drops of blood fell from the mouth of a boy who was no older than 17. The boy wore a blue tunic with a red undershirt; he had on long gray pants which had many tears in them, and small cloth shoes.

“But I was…I am the…I am the Shine…”

The boy uttered weakly as he spat blood from his mouth. He got up off his knees and placed his sword in the ground. The boy used the blade for leverage and stood up slowly and with very little strength, but he stood none the less.

“You? You boy, are not the Shine. Your ancestor was that Hero. You don’t even have the power to find his sword. If you cannot find it, how can you hope to wield that which you speak of?”

This voice comes in low and seductive. From the shadows of the room a figure cloaked in black which was ornamentally embroidered with a white twine. The only part of this figure which was uncovered was a small nose and maniacal looking mouth which smiled with the whitest of teeth.

“Now let me end it quickly boy, allow the Shine to be controlled.”

The boy raised his sword with the hilt to eye level.

“I will never allow, my power to be controlled by the likes of you!!!”

The boy’s eyes narrowed and glowed silver as he screamed at the cloaked figure. He dropped the sword behind him so the tip scrapped the ground and the boy rushed at the man in the shadows. A silver aura now surrounded the boy as he ran at this figure. His short black hair shined and his entire body was consumed with power.

The cloaked being grinned as the boy charged at him.

“And now the Shine…”

The man sliced his arm across, in front of himself. A sword was now visible in his hand. It was curved and had a half blade with only one sharpened side. The blade was a shimmering black and the hilt was wrapped in black cloth. Under the blades tip, was a small pool of blood.

“Is mine.”

The boy shuddered as he passed the man slashing at the figure’s head. The boy stopped behind the man and fell. Blood seeped from his side as the aura faded.

“Thou shall die trying…”

The boy uttered his last breath as the silver surrounding his body, faded into nothingness.

Not bad for a prelude. Keep it up. Consider me your first fan.
