Chapter one: Light and Dark
"Coa, Coa? Where are you?"
Kira Barton called through the back door into the massive flower garden that took up most of the mansion's back yard. It was the middle of spring and many of the flowers were in bloom, the yard was littered with pinks, reds, blues, and yellows. The mid-day shower had just ended and things in the Realm of Light were as good as it could get.
"Coa!"
Kira called again, a tinge of worry in her voice.
"I'm coming mom!"
A small boy with sandy brown hair and navy blue eyes cried out from behind a pink rose bush. He was the spitting image of his mother, and next in line to the throne. Kira held out her hand, and the little boy took it. With a warm smile she pulled the boy in for a hug.
"How was your day honey?"
Kira asked in her sing song voice. Coa rubbed his eyes, smearing dirt all over his face.
"It was good…is Sigma here yet?"
He asked with excitement in his voice.
Kira smiled again and wiped her son's face.
"Yes he's preparing for your lesion right now. But remember, you can't practice to long, your father is coming home tonight."
Coa's eyes widened in excitement, his father, Liam Barton, had been away on a diplomatic mission for a few months and didn't know when he'd be able to return.
"Mrs. Barton, pardon my interruption."
A tall dark man said from behind Kira. He stood six feet tall with snow white hair and dark gray eyes. He wore the white robes of the high priest, and had a book clenched tightly in his right hand. Kira smiled at the man and patted Coa on the shoulder.
"No it's alright Sigma. Are you ready for him?"
Sigma nodded and flashed a smile at Coa.
"Yes, I have a lot to teach him today. Today's the day he learns his power. It's a short lesion, so he should be finished by the time Mr. Barton returns."
Sigma bowed to Kira and took Coa by the shoulder.
"That sounds perfect, have a good time you two."
Coa hugged his mother before following Sigma to the middle of the garden. Here there was a small pond with a few fish and a fountain. The bushes hummed with the sound of insects.
"Okay we'll get right to it."
Sigma said as he opened the book he was holding.
"Today you are going to learn how to control magic, more specifically, the magic of Light. If you are going to be the Guardian of Light like your mother someday, you'll to master this spell."
Coa nodded slowly.
"Now, you'll need to clear your mind and concentrate on the spell…the power is already inside of you, you just need to call for it."
Coa closed his eyes and tried his best to clear his mind, but the thought of his father's home coming kept popping into his head.
"Concentrate Coa, I know you have a lot on your mind, but you need to forget about it for now."
Coa took a long breath and tried again. He could feel the warmth building inside him, and the power over take his body. The power of light emitted around the eight year old boy and lit the garden. Sigma chuckled and tasseled Coa's hair.
"That's it, that's perfect. Tomorrow we will work on it some more, but for right now we need to stop. Your father is probably on his way and you need to get cleaned up."
Coa nodded and thanked Sigma before running back into the house.
"Poor Coa…if he only knew…"
Sigma sighed as he closed the magic book, marking the spell of Darkness.
"Coa!"
Liam Barton shouted as his son ran up to him.
"How's my oldest son?"
Coa laughed as his father playfully hit him on the cheek.
"Good, I'm glad your home!"
Coa said looking up at his father.
Liam was a tall man, about six two with dark brown hair and emerald green eyes. He had olive skin covered in scars from past battles. His smile was as warm as his beautiful wife's, who had her golden blonde hair pulled back into a bun, and her royal blue eyes enhanced by her white evening gown. Kira was holding her youngest son, Gale. Gale was two years old with light brown hair and green eyes like his fathers. The small boy reached for his dad and Kira handed him over.
"Hey there Gale, how's daddy's little boy?"
Liam cooed to Gale. Coa smiled and noticed the other people standing behind his father.
"Coa, these are the Defenders of Light. They protect this village and your mother."
Each defender bowed in turn as Coa's eyes swept over them. Each was wearing a white tunic and gray cargo pants. A small insignia was on sewn on to the left breast pocket of the tunic. It was a small yellow orb that represented the Light they guarded. Liam's outfit was very similar to this only he had rays coming from the orb, symbolizing his marriage to the current Guardian of Light.
"Well shall we eat?"
Sigma asked walking into the crowded foyer.
"Yes, thank you Sigma."
Kira said smiling to her most loyal advisor. A smile that made Sigma die a little on the inside every time he saw it.
After the Defenders had eaten, many began to recount their war stories to Coa. Telling him of dark magic and the evil Defenders of the Darkness, one started to tell him of a brave young man that used Twilight Magic, but Sigma stopped him short.
"Excuse me, but I think it's getting rather late, Coa you should head off to bed."
Coa looked to his parents and they nodded to him.
"But I wanna hear the story"
He whined.
"Maybe some other time honey, I'm sure Drake would be more then happy to tell you in the morning."
The Defender known as Drake nodded.
"Yeah I'll tell you all about it in the morning kid."
Coa hugged his mother before taking his little brother out of the dining room and upstairs. He gave Gale to the maid that was waiting at the top of the stairs and went into his room to sleep, dreaming about the "three" different types magic, and how he was able to use the most holy of them all.
-------------------------------------------------------
"So they know of him then?"
A gruff voice under the black hood said as he turned to Sigma.
"Yes, it would appear that Tera Roth has been interfering with the battles of Light and Dark…Taking the side of Light."
The hooded man nodded as he sat in a white marble throne.
"Hmm. I see, is it possible that he knows the fate of the boy you are teaching?"
Sigma shrugged.
"I don't know. I can't imagine he would, I've never spoken the prophecy to any one other then you my Lord."
The hooded man shook his head in disapproval.
"Have you heard of the world of Prism?"
Sigma nodded.
"It's a Twilight world, meaning Tera Roth is directly connected to it. There is a city there, known as Ater. It is also called the "City of Prophecy". Do you see where I am going with this?"
Sigma nodded slowly.
"We will advance our strike. Tell the Defenders, and Make sure the boy is brought to me. I will kill him myself."
Sigma's face went pale.
"Y-yes sir."
Sigma bowed low to the hooded man, The Guardian of the Darkness.
"Sigma, I want the City of Dawn burned to the ground understand me?"
Sigma nodded once more before vanishing and appearing once more in his room at the Barton Mansion. He picked up a walkie-talkie and hesitated before clicking the button down.
"The Darkness shall rule over all. I repeat: The Darkness shall rule over all."
He released the button and fell back on to his bed, his eyes full of tears, and the walkie-talkie fell to the floor. Cheers and sighs of relief could faintly be heard from the small speaker. The Defenders of Darkness were ready to attack and closed in on the unsuspecting City of Dawn.
