Prologue
Prophecy
So goes the legend. Only fate is a cruel mistress, and consistency isn't one of her virtues.
Every 108 years the Black Monster also comes. Its diabolical havoc was a sharp contrast to the Moon Child's divine joy. Was it any suprise that these two hated each other?
Strange Darkness
out, Shar."
Shar calmly stepped in front of the class. He was a young boy of about fourteen. His skin, eyes, and hair matched his clothes on near the darker end of the spectrum. "Hello."
The teacher looked over her seating chart. "You may take a seat next to Ami, Shar. She's the girl with the blue hair in the second row from the left, third seat." And so the day began.
"The Signet Spheres were destroyed by Zieg, under the control of Melbu Falum, allowing the boundary hindarying the God of Destruction's renewal," Shar read. "Both Zieg and Falum were defeated by Dart and the Moon Child, but both Zieg and Rose were killed in the battle."
"Oh," Ami turned the corner. "The History of the Winglies," she read the title. "What's that."
"It tells the history of the 107th species onto the world," Shar said dreamily. "Their history and their legacy. The Winglie's eternal course and final scourge upon humanity."
"Their legacy?"
"The Virage Embryo, Divine Moon objects, and the Signet Spheres," Shar snapped back. "The legend states that every 108 years the Moon Child descends to the earth. With her comes the soul of the Virage Embryo, the God of Destruction. She supposedly has no idea of any of this."
A beeping sound was heard between the two as Ami checked her watch. "Oh! I have to go. See you later!"
"Only three minutes late this time, Serena," Rei obsurved as the future queen walked in. "Maybe we should have a better tardy policy."
"We could make her stay here for an extra hour and do extra homework," Rine suggested. "That may help with meatball-heads promptness."
"Well, you could've told me that it was time to go!" Serena exclaimed. "How was I supposed to know that it was that
late?"
"Maybe the fact that your the elder of us," Rini said. "Or maybe it should be the daughter that is the responsible
one."
And so it began. It seemed that almost anything would start those two yelling at each other. "Rei," Lita looked at the other girl. "Maybe you shouldn't have brought anything up."
"They were only three minutes late," Ami agreed. "That's early for those two."
"Maybe," Rei looked at the vocal brawl. "Still, I do enjoy watching them, and this would've happened either way.
"The 108 years are over," a voice came from the darkness. "The destined cycle is about to begin anew."
"And this time, we have the advantage," a man walked out. "We already know who this child is."
"And this time," the first voice started to laugh. "Not even the dragoons will be able to stop us!"
"She's so carefree," Shar watched Serena talk. "So innocent. Sometimes I wish I had that innocence."
