Chapter 1: Fated Meeting
In the ancient languages myths and legends told of a boy clothed in green who vanquished the evil from the land, it was told he sealed away the darkness. Ancestors were taught that whenever evil rises again the young hero would be reincarnated and would stand firm against darkness once again. However, the young hero's tale had been lost for three millenia and none, but a small family who kept the truth honored in their ancestor's history.
A young boy around the age of 11 leaned against the wooden railing of a tall watch tower on a small island, tomorrow was his 12th birthday and he knew he would be sharing the birthday of the great hero once again. He never liked his birthday truthfully, two birthdays were celebrated, but one of them was honored with offerings to the fairy shrine on the mountain, and this year it would be Aryll's turn, his sister.
The boy's name was Lief, he was closely named after a great great ancestor who supposedly lived in the time of darkness and fear, his name didn't bring back many pleasant memories if people knew exactly what it meant. His life wasn't all that bad; their island was owned by his entire family, his uncles, and aunts, cousins and his grandma lived there along with his mother and sister. His father had disappeared at sea years ago when Lief had been born, his mother had told him the entire truth that his father was asked to visit the island Dragon's Roost due to a sickness the king had. Lief's father had been a healer, but his mother had recieved a letter from a winged mail carrier that her husband had gone missing at sea on his way home and never had returned.
Lief turned and recklessly climbed down the ridiculously tall ladder and jumping that last few feet into the ocean to the side of the boardwalk, his head came up for air and he made his way to the beach across the small gulf; his mother wouldn't be happy about his wet clothes, but hey he didn't want to walk around the entire island just to get to the other side where his house sat settled on small hilltop.
"Lief!" the sweet melodic sound of a young girl's voice called out across the splashing waves, when he looked up he saw his little sister her large brown eyes, and her blond hair done up in pig-tails. Today mother had decided to dress her in her red play dress with tropical flower designs every other place on material. When he reached shore he took off his shirt and ringed the salt water from it, his pants her soaked as well, but he could deal with them unlike his shirt which seemed to always end up waying him down then making him itchy later on in the day.
"Lief, mother will scold you again for soaking your clothes through." Aryll put one tiny hand on her hip and the other pointed a finger at him with a cute, but angry look on her face. He decided to ignore her and continue walking towards home hoping that mother was still at grandpa's apartment trying to put his pots back up on his wall; Lief's uncle lived in the hut underneathe his grandpa's and was a skilled swordsman, he had taught Lief a few things here and there, that is until his mother would find out and ground him. (and his uncle apparently) for teaching a war skill. "the sword is dangerous, and shouldn't be used by a child." She wouldl always say, thought his uncle was talented he seemed to get carried away often and would end up hitting a wall with his staff causing the whole building to shake, which also caused his grandpa's shelves to collaps along with his jars and such. Why he doesn't take his shelves down permanently no one would ever know, but if he hasn't skinned his Lief's uncle then maybe he's able to live with it.
"Don't you ignore me, Lief!" Aryll came running after him, she grabbed onto his arm trying to dig her feet into the ground to stop lief from continuing foward, but it didn't work. He tried to hide his teasing smile, but his little sister's sharp eye caught it. "I'll tell mother about your wet clothes!"
Lief smiled and rustled his sister's hair, "It's not like i've gotten in trouble for it time and time again. It would do you no good if you told her, unless you find satisfaction in me getting in trouble." He winked at her with a sly smile, he knew she hated seeing mother angry, but that wouldn't always stop her from telling. He loved his sister, sometimes she could get rather needy though.
Aryll, bit her bottom lip and looked to her left unsure about what she said. "You got off easy this time, i'll cover for you, mom is in the kitchen preparing supper."
"I thought she was at Grandpa's house" Lief suddenly got a nervous feeling in his stomach, there was no way he could get fresh clothes if mom was in the kitchen, their beds were in the small space right next to the fireplace where grandma always made her soup and they're clothes chest was under the bunk bed him and Aryll shared.
"Big Brother, i can help," She gave Lief a sweet smile and ran inside, Lief had a feeling Aryll would try bringing her mother outside to see a bug, or a seagull in the sky so he hid under the porch; just like he thought Aryll came outside pulling along their mother over to a nearby bush and pointed out a small spider. Lief booked it into the house and tugged the chest out from under the bed, his grandma, who was supposed to be sleeping on her chair peeked open an eye watching her grandson, he pulled on a similar looking shirt as his wet one and then hopped into dry pants, while he was at it he stumbled forward bonking his head the wooden post of the bed crying out, then quickly shutting his mouth remembering his mission. He picked up his wet clothes shoving the chest under his bed.
"You were quicker that time," His Grandma said, Lief whirled around and jumped at her voice, he then smiled putting a hand to his heart.
"Dont' scare me like that Grandma." He took a quick moment to kiss her on the cheek then darted towards the door, he suddenly saw it open, Aryll could be heard begging her mother to come back and see something else, Lief dove behind the plant next to the door praying not to be discovered.
"Aryll, supper is going to burn, i'll come see after." Their mother walked in right past Lief and disappeared into the kitchen, Lief slowly opened the door and getting outside then repeated closing the door quietly, Aryll brimmed with pride as she sat on the porch railing.
"You did it!" She jumped down and looked up to him, he smiled down at her, then held up his wet clothes.
"Thanks Aryll, i owe you one, i got to go find a place to dry these though." he sticks out his tounge and winks then looks up at the mountainside.
"Lief, no. mom says we shouldn't go there" She gave him a stern look, almost frightened as well.
"It's ok, and what other place could i put these." Holds up the dripping clothes and lets out a little laugh.
"Lief, ask aunty beth up on the hill, or our uncle and cousins across bridge if you can hang them there." Frowns glancing up at the mountains every other second.
"No, they'll tell mom." Begins his walk towards the other side of the island.
"You'll get caught!" She goes running after him and doesn't leave him, after at least fifteen minutes, Lief and Aryll are standing in front of the overgrown trees, and grass leading up to the mountainside. "You can just hang your clothes on the sign, lief, it's almost supper, it's getting dark, we'll get in trouble, please lets go." She kept making excuses to go back, but Lief felt the sensation to keep going as he looked up the steep path.
"You go home Aryll, ok? I want to go take a look around." Looks over at her. "You have to come up here anyway tomorrow, you might as well understand the way."
Aryll squirmed where she was standing, looked back once down the trail then took Lief's hand. He dropped his wet clothes on the sign then pushed his way through the over growth.
"Where are those children," Their mother came out of the house, she looked past the houses, and towards the seashore. She looked up and her eyes went wide as she caught a glimpse of something large in the sky, it's wings beating the wind rustling the leaves of the trees. "Lief! Aryll!" She suddenly started calling out desperately, she ran over to her step dad's home and climbed quickly up the ladder, she knocked rapidly on his door. When he answered his large head was red and his eyes were angry.
"Who is pounding on my door at my supper time!" He stopped as he saw her and quieted himself down. "Forgive me Kayla, i didn't know it was you."
"Have you seen Lief, or Aryll? I can't find them and there is something lurking in our skies." She clasped her hands together her eyes wide with fright. Her lavender hair was being blown to the side as her pony-tail began slipping out.
"Come in, dear one." Kayla stepped in, and ran to his window leading onto the small balcony, she searched the sand and any signs of specks on the opposite side of the island. "Kayla, perhaps they went into Beth's home, or maybe Kane's home on the West side of the island."
"I don't know." She looked up to the sky again, and lightening flashed, a moment later the thunder caught up, rain began sprinkling down, the waves crashing higher against the shore.
"Lief! please lets go!" Aryll clung to her brother as they ducked next to a rock on the summit of the mountain, the bridge to the forest swayed recklessly in the wind. Lief, who was filled with worry for his sister looked towards the large black clouds, a large shape was outlined in the clouds as thunder boomed across the horizon.
"Come on, run down the hill as fast as you can with me ok?" He took her hand unclenching her fist on his once again soaked clothes and began leading her back down from the summit. The winds howled as weak trees toppled over. They finally came to the opening and past the sign which was on the ground along with his clothes from before. He through Ayrll onto their uncle's roof which wasn't far from the ledge, she swiftly climbed down the straw and onto the wooden porch and to the front door, Lief readyed himself to jump as well, he always played around with his sister and cousins doing this so it wasn't new to them. For some reason though he felt unsure about it. He hesitated only for a moment then jumped.
"There! I see Aryll, she's at Kane's house!" Kayla watched as her little girl scrambled into the safe lighted hut, but where was her son? She didnt' see him with Aryll, and he had to have been with her she was sure. "I don't see him," She ran out of the house and down the ladder, she ran across the sand towards the boardwalk leading to the West side, she got sprayed with sea salt, but other than that she safely crossed and tripped onto the porch knocking furiously at the door, Aryll sat by the fire place with a blanket around her soaked, shivering body, Kane let Kayla in and explained what Aryll had told him, everything about how her and Lief were up on the mountain and ended up getting caught int he storm. Her mother wasn't angry, she hugged Aryll then asked where her brother was.
"I don't know, he was supposed to be right behind me." Aryll let out a scared squeak sound, and took the offered cup of sugar cane tea in her shaking hands.
Lief struggled with the wind, he had missed his target and ended up falling hard into a mud puddle, his hair dripped into the puddle as he painfully got to his feet, he realized he had twisted his arm the wrong way and it was completely numb down to his finger tips. He sat against the mountain wall and shivered violently. Something had gone wrong, he knew he could've made that jump, it was such a short ways, so how had he missed it?
"That was a reckless jump." A voice sounded out around Lief, he jumped and looked around him, his eyes fell on a figure in a dark cloak his face hidden by the hood of his cloak. Lief cradles hi sarm and breathes slowly watching the stranger carefully.
"Are you doing this?" Lief asked, he hadn't seen a hidden stranger on the island before and no ships had shown up anywhere around their home so how could such a man even get here, ruining their perfect and humble community?
"You don't know me, boy." The figure stepped closer and bent down in front of Lief, he took his arm and ran his finger down it from shoulder to fingertips, his middle finger glowed blue as he did it, Lief didn't resist, you would think he would've, but he just stared at the figure. He became paranoid that he couldn't see this guy's face even though he was so close to him.
The man looked up and seemed to stare into Lief's ocean blue eyes, he then held up his hand and waved it slowly downard then into a design as if drawing in the air, Lief began to panic and he felt his mind slipping away, his eyes became sandbags as he forced himself against the strange magic. Before he could do anything Lief toppled to the side on the cold ground, the figure picked him up and then laid him in front of the door. Before he left though, the stranger's eye caught a small gold light, he picked up the boy's hand revealing a gold triforce embedded on the back of his hand, he set it down again standing up. "So...i will have to kill you eventually." A low chuckle seems to come from his throat. "I could take you with me, hero. but that wouldn't be enjoyable would it. You'll find me when the time comes." His voice echoes and he lets a laugh escape his throat, red eyes gleam from his hood and the man dissolves into the air, he looks once more at the 11-year old boy laying there, he holds up his hand again and a spark appears, it floats silently forward disappearing at the touch of Lief's forehead. "You won't remember me. Not yet." Then his form disappears completely without a trace.
The door opened a second later, and Kayla's gasp came from the house, she ran out into the rain and picked up her boy bringing him close to the fire wrapping millions of blankets around him. Kane locked his door, and closed his windows, he filled up another cup of sugar cane tea for Kayla as she cradled Lief against her chest, Aryll curled up next to her mom as well feeling the comfort of the motherly arm around her shoulders. "Thank you Kane..." Kane nodded then layed out some pillows and dry bedding on the floor, he allowed Aryll to sleep in his bed while the rest of them layed on the floor and fell asleep.
Morning came and the night before was forgotten, Lief woke up late and shivered slightly from his wet clothes, but found himself comfortable anyway. He sat up in his quilts and looked around, last thing he remembered was jumping for the roof.
Aryll came running inside the house and tackled him back to the floors. "You scared us last night Big Brother, Uncle Kane and Mother found you on the front porch drenched and brought you inside."
"Uncle Kane?" Lief looked around the small house and sat back against his hands. That storm came unusually fast, yes storms here came quick, but that one was different...He shrugged and stood up, he took Aryll's hand and walked out into the warm sunshine.
Kane waved from his field, a sickle in his other hand, both children waved back then made their way across the boardwalk tot he East side.
"Happy Birthday, Lief!" Their cousin waved from his special rock, he normally sat there when perfect days came along for fishing. Lief waved back as they past him.
Aryll giggled when they reached the other side and pointed at their Uncle Bo. He was hunched near the grass crawling ever so slowly closer and closer to the stone wall. Looking closer the siblings could see a black piglet munching on some flowers trotting along minding his own business.
Lief winked at Aryll smiling and quickly ran around a large boulder, his Uncle didn't notice him at all since he was so focused on his prize.
The piglet sniffed the air and squealed with excitement as it discovered red fruits near a large stone. It swiftly ran over and started it's joyous feast.
Lief leaped from his hiding spot picking up the shrieking animal then walked over to Bo who was completely dumbstruck.
"It's a gift," He smiled and offered the struggling pig. Bo took it not saying much. He scratched the back of his head, the pig under one arm. A moment later he laughed.
"Thanks," He said, Bo was shy and even though he knew everything about everyone on the island he still liked keeping to few words, But then again, when it came to pigs and how to catch them the right way he sometimes would start chattering on about different traps, or treats they liked.
Aryll calmly patted the pig's head then dragged her brother home. She often glanced up at him then set her mind back on the path in front of her.
