Prologue: Mysterious Workings
I don't own anything except for my OCs and the plot. Everything else belongs to their respective owners.
Finally! I'm able to get this story started!
I've been meaning to do this for the longest time now! But life just has a habit to get me sidetracked...
Regardless, Let's get this baby started!
3rd Person P.O.V.
Abandoned Temple on the outskirts of Athens (Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix - Organization XIII)
Out on the outskirts of Athens laid a abandoned temple, one that has not been touched by mortal hands since the Olympians had overthrown their titan rulers.
The temple used to hold a certain awe inspiring presence to it, as it was one of the many temples that was made in fear of the great leader of the titans. The temple itself was almost as big as the one on Mount Olympus, and was just as grand too, until the titans fell.
After the fall of the titans, the mortals felt no obligation to be near the temple, as it had been used as a sacrificial one for the pleasure of the titans. Too many wretched memories of the titans using the mortals for whatever they wished. Too much mortal blood had been spilled there for it to be classified as any sort of "holiness" to it, the smell of death still lingers around the temple. Some of the mortals say that you can here the cries, and screams of the ones that were unwillingly sacrificed to the titans.
The temple used to stand tall and grand, a symbol for the control and power the titans had over their subjects. But, as time went on, some mortals wanted to take some pity revenge on the titans, and used the remains of them that were left, the statues in the temple. Each Statue that had once stood tall and showed might, had been torn down to the point where the statues themselves were not recognizable anymore.
The pillars that once held the temple up, were now crumbled down and/or currently in the process of crumbling down, making some parts of the temple collapse. The alters that had been used for the sacrifice of mortals was one of the first things to be destroyed by the mortals, yet they had not managed to destroy all of it. Bloodstains still remained on the rocks, even after hundreds of years.
Anything grand about this temple had been lost, and was left to rot as time passed. The only real awe inspiring beauty the temple had left was the eerie glow of the remains of the statues, giving a sense that the titans were still active.
No living thing had dared to go near the temple in fear of death from a ungodly force killing them. Countless children had dared their peers to get near the temple, but each one of them had backed down.
Interestingly enough, some mortals stated that there was a figure appeared to be standing at the temple's entrance on some nights, but it quickly vanished as soon as it was seen. Mortals claimed that it was one of the ghost of the titans, haunting the temple's grounds. Others stated that it was some other being that had taken residence inside the temple, and had not want to be seen.
Whatever it was, it drove away any and all wants to explore the temple. All except for one angel-like-figure that continually visited the temple and mysteriously left as soon as it came.
Mortals have stated that it was a angel that was working for the titans return, while others say that the angel was searching for that figure that kept appearing near the entrance of the temple. No one knew exactly what the said angel was doing there, but they did know one thing about it, it wasn't like a ordinary angel.
Unbeknownst to most of the mortals, the angel did have business with the mysterious figure and the temple. And some shady activity was happening in there, but no one knew what it was.
Though some of the older mortals say that they can hear voices coming from the temple, but cannot understand what they're saying.
As it just so happens, tonight would be one of the last nights that any mortal would see of the figure and the angel. As the angel flew past the city of Athens, some mortals saw it fly into the temple itself, a first in it's many strange habits.
With the angel and figure appearing only at night, it was impossible to say who it was that was creating strange activity on the temple grounds. Giving the perfect setup for what was happening in there.
Inside of the Abandoned Temple (Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - Xigbar)
A loud, audible, and cheery laugh echoed throughout the temple, as the mysterious angel flew into the center of the temple.
The angel landed with a grunt of annoyance as he looked around the temple and laid his eyes on the mysterious figure standing in center of the temple, under the full moon that was directly above the temple's center.
Stepping into the moonlight and walking towards the figure was a angel wearing a black cloak over its form. A bit of hair could be seen as it advanced towards the figure, and appeared to be black the way it had it's cloak's hood over it's head. A pair of sharp red eyes glared emotionlessly at the chuckling figure as it stopped in front of the figure, a emblem of the titans in between their standing space.
The mysterious figure was covered in dark grey robes that hid his body form, and had a hood over its head, blocking off any vision of it's face. The only thing that you could see from the hood at times was a pair of platinum eyes, but that only happened when the figure was interested in something. The angel knew what gender the figure was based off of the voice it radiated, but the angel still had trouble trying to figure out what exactly the figure was.
The figure's head turned towards the angel and scoffed as he greeted, "Well now! You look dashing in that cloak I gave you! It really does suit that all black attire you have on underneath it, Yami."
The angel grunted as it was referred to by his name, and retorted in a snark like grunt, "I fell like my 'brother' wearing this cloak." The angel then produced what could be considered a chuckling scoff as he replied, "At least I look better in this cloak than you do in those robes."
The mysterious figure faked a physical hurt expression as he held a heart over it's chest and shouted, "Yami! You hurt me! I give you a nice new cloak and this is how you thank me!" as the mysterious figure stopped speaking, it looked into the eyes of the angel, and saw it's usual emotionless stare.
The figure grunted as it physically shook it's head and sarcastically muttered to himself, "(Nice to see he's still emotionless as ever!)" The angel having heard the muttering, choose to ignore it as it bulled a spherical object out of it's cloak.
The figure immediately straighten up and focused it's attention on the strange sphere like object, stating "Oh yeah, I forgot I paid you to get that for me!" Yami shook his head in annoyance again, a very clear emotion he seemed to express a lot when around the figure.
Ignoring the figure's forgetfulness, Yami tossed the spherical object to the man underneath the robes and stated, "I was unseen when I left with the artifact, and I made sure that the guardian of the artifact was killed" The figure nodded it's head to Yami's report and continued to inspect the spherical object with it's gloved hands.
The angel then gave off an evil smile and darkly stated, "The guardian was quite fun to kill!" The figure stopped inspecting the spherical orb and looked at the angel with some interest, it's grey eyes flashing for a quick second. The figure then asked, "Did the guardian say anything of importance?"
Yami shook his head in annoyance, and this time it wasn't at the figure, it was about the guardian he had just killed. "No." Yami stated, "It only repeatedly saying 'the titans shall rise again' as it was fighting me." Yami notice the figure visually stiffen up at the mention of the titans, but the figure quickly regained it's composure.
The figure finally stopped inspecting the spherical object, and put it in his pocket, reassuring the angel with, "Great job, as always, your payment has been delivered to your current living space."
Yami nodded his head and began to walk away before stopping and running around, asking, "After the many missions you have given me, you have never once given me your name. So what should I call you by? Since you obviously don't want to be known."
The figure once again stiffened up, and chuckled lightly, responding honestly, "While it's true I don't want my name to be known, you can call me by my title, the Z-Keeper." Yami nodded his head and stared at the figure, now know as the Z-Keeper with curiosity.
The Z-Keeper sensed Yami's curiosity and asked, "Is there anything else you would like to know Yami?" The angel nodded it's head as it asked, "What are these artifacts you're having me find, and why am I collecting them for you?"
The figure sighed deeply as it stated, "These artifacts are these that were used to store away the leader of the titan's power, and you're collecting these for me because I fear what might happen if they were to fall into the wrong hands."
For a brief second, Yami gave a look of confusion, but quickly shook it off as he began to leave the temple. While walking out of the center of the temple Yami asked, "I'm guessing you'll get in contact with me as usual?" The Z-Keeper chuckled as it replied, "Yes, I'll find a way to get your attention!"
Yami nodded his head and then leapt into the sky using his black wings to soar off quickly into the night sky. The Z-Keeper watched Yami fly of into the night, as it removed it's hood and sighed sadly to himself.
Underneath the hood was a dark-skinned man with platinum eyes, and a massive afro (that somehow managed to say under the hood). The Z-Keeper turned around and glared at one of the torn down statues, specifically the biggest one with the rubbed out letters "c_ou_". The man growled at the remaining letters, remembering who's name used to be on there.
The man turned away from the torn down statue and then closed his eyes, as a clock-like-light-design appeared around him and warped him away.
Unbeknownst to both the man and the angel, a white wolf with orange eyes emerged from some of the ruins of the temple, glaring at the spot where the two beings once stood.
The white wolf then proceeded to howl to the moon in the sky, it's howling echoing off of the temple ruins and throughout into the night sky. When it was done howling, the wolf walked out of the temple, and then proceeded to run in the opposite direction that Yami flew off to.
While the white wolf was running, a strange trail of black light followed it, and increased as the wolf sped off into the night.
Well here we go! The start of my brand new story! I hope all of you enjoy what I have so far!
I won't say when's the next update, as I'm bound to jinx myself, but I will try to get it out ASAP!
And some of you might be confused as to what's happening right now, but I should hopefully clear things up as the story progresses! After all you haven't seen any familiar faces yet!
Speaking of faces, I might as well do some character profiles for each chapter! Starting with the ones we saw in this one!
Yami: A mysterious angel that has been carrying out task for this mysterious figure that keep appearing near the ruins of the titans. He usually acts emotionless and only show some "emotion" When certain things interest him. His true intentions are unknown. (creator: BigBangYingYang62)
The Z-Keeper: The Mysterious figure that has been appearing outside of the ruins. So far he wants his appearances to be kept on the down low, wanting not be seen or known by anyone else. His primary focus seems to be getting Yami to get these artifacts for him. As to what he wants to do with the artifacts is a mystery to everyone. (creator: superzbigz)
The White Wolf: A wolf that had managed to avoid detection from both the Z-Keeper and Yami. Just what was it doing in those ruins, and where is it going? Also why does it emit a black light? (creator: ?)
Leave a review and tell me what ya think so far!
