There was only darkness, and the sound of an engine running. My vision was blank, although I couldn't feel anything on my face, I was sure I'd been blinded. I faintly heard two men talking, in a language I couldn't understand. I tried to move my arms and legs, only to find that they were bound. There was a metallic taste in my mouth, and all I could do was cringe as I tried to wash it out with my saliva. Is this...blood? I thought to myself.

I tried to remember what happened the last couple of hours, images of finding myself in a foreign land different from my own. The city was surrounded by clouds, yet supported by it as well. The buildings were all the same, a large circular building made of tan bricks. I remembered running through the city, only a small backpack thrown over my shoulder as i hid in alleyways, a bandana wrapped around my head as i tried to hide my hair color. I had almost made it into the castle walls before i was spotted by two men. I tried to run, doing my best to escape capture. Fear welled up inside of me, my thoughts so focused on escape i wasn't aware of where i was going and crashed right into a wall. The impact knocked the wind out of me, and before i knew it, i was laying flat on my back. I couldn't remember anything after that.

"Umi..." I mumbled before I felt the headache hit. I groaned loudly, the machine came to a halt and my body was thrust forward right into a wall. As I tried to wiggle my way away from the wall, I felt a pair of sweaty hands grab me, followed by another. They continued to talk in this foreign language, knowing I couldn't understand in the least.

I was being carried somewhere, and before I knew it, my vision was back. Though a bit hazy at first, I quickly understood where I was. There stood a man, he had long brown hair that trailed down his back. He only stared at me, looking down from his throne. He wore a long white robe, small jewels imprinted in the sides. White, yellow, the colors flashed In my mind. I was in the throne room, which meant the man standing before me was...

"Sukai..." I said, my voice shook. One of the men turned and swiftly kicked me in my stomach, "That's King Sukai to you, you dirty Vodian brat!" he said in my native tongue. I could only lay my head down on the ground, trying to ignore the pain. One of the men grabbed a handful of of my hair, pulling me back up to meet the kinds gaze.

"My dear boy, you don't look any older than 10 or 11 years old...What could you possibly be doing here? Or, a better question...HOW did you get here?" Sukai said, trying to hide the irritation in his voice.

I looked up at him "Please...let me go!" I pleaded. "I only came here because of my sister, she's very sick and...and I heard of this city, one that makes medicine that can cure anything! I just wanted to help her..." Tears welled up in my eyes. 'What a failure I am' I thought, sobbing. I couldn't help myself, knowing that my sister would surely die if I didn't get her the medicine fast enough. But what could I do? This was the only way. "...I-I-I bought a pendant from a traveling merchant, who said that it would bring me to Odecca...I didn't mean to sneak in, but it was the only way!" I yelled, my voice strained from trying to hide the sounds of my sobs.

Then the two men and the king began their conversation back in Odeccian, making sure I wouldn't understand what my fate was. The conversation ended abruptly as all eyes returned to me. "Tell me...where is your home? It's obvious that you're from Vody, since no people here have black hair like that. You stick out like a sore thumb" The king started. My eyes widened when i'd realized the cloth covering my head was nowhere to be found. I was caught, and all i could do was sit there dumbfounded as i waited to hear what the kind had to say next. "I've decided...I will send your family the medicine they need for your ailing sister. But, in exchange, You will stay here, and become a spy for Odecca. Learn the language, the customs, and never return to your home"

The tears welled back up in my eyes as i nodded.

I know it's not that good for a first chapter, but i'd really been itching to make some kind of "Two worlds" fanfic, and I always see ones about vampires so I figured it'd be tired if I did that. So, I'm trying sky beings and underwater beings! The story behind the two of these cities on why they would need spies will be revealed in the next chapter (If people ask for it). This is kind of a prologue from Nowaki's POV (clearly since he's only 10 or 11 in this. He'll be back to his normal age in no time! No worries! ^-^
