Within the Kingdom

Prologue

A dark cloaked figure walked down the alleys of Mycea. The jet black cloak dragging behind him, as if it was chasing the footsteps he took. He took out a lantern and lit it; orange flames lighted the narrow path. Another cloaked person appeared from the shadows. He stopped, his breath rising and falling. He raised his hand revealing a symbol embedded in his palm. The hooded figure nodded and stepped aside revealing a passage. The figure hurried along the pathway, trying to beat time. He abruptly came to a halt. Huge antique oak doors barricaded his way, without hesitation he flung them open.

"Late, Natsume!" a voice dripping with authority spoke from the shadows. "I was expecting you three minutes ago!"

Natsume put his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, "sorry... got caught up"

"That is NO excuse, if I say 10:00pm you have GOT to BE here on the dot!" a man in a red cloak stepped forward, his face still in the shadows.

"I said am sorry" Natsume looked up "Geez, old man I ap-ol-o-gi-ze-d!"

The face came out of the dark, the jaws clenched, wrinkles visible, grey hair mingled with the slightest colour of brown. Eyes as dark as a storm at sea, his blue eyes contained no emotion, his nose flared. He walked slowly, his footsteps echoing. He stopped right in front of the boy.

"Who do you think you are talking to?" He lowered his gaze to be eyes to eye with Natsume.

Natsume, kept his stare on the old man, not backing out once. "Hastings"

"whom?!"

"Sir Hastings" he spat out.

The man turned around and walked back to his 'throne', "Good you are learning"

Natsume snorted. "Why am I here?"

The old man did not pay attention to him, he called out for his servant, ordering him to open the doors.

As soon as the doors opened, a man with black hair walked in. His back was straight and he wore a mask that covered up half his face.

"Why, isn't that the little Black Cat?" he asked, making his way next to Natsume.

"Why, isn't it the stupid Phantom-wan-a-be?" he returned mockingly. "You are missing your Cape"

"Seems that your oh-so-sarcastic self is still present" He snarled

Natsume snorted "Looks like you still fantasise about Boys"

The person next to him flinched, "Listen here brat I am-"

"Stop" they both quieted down. The masked man slowly letting go of Natsume, he grabbed him during the process of their bickering. They both straightened themselves.

"Now Serio, kindly explain the new mission to little Natsume here"

Serio smirked. On the other Natsume kept a straight face, however his fists clenched by his side.

"Well, as we know there is are 9 stones in our kingdom. In order for us to gain the power, wealth and might over the kingdom and to open the PORTAL we need to find five of the nine stones. When we have five o the stones we can unify it to make one, this will aid us later in our epic battle with the Government. We already have four stones; the government have four stones out of the five as well, now that is a major issue as it means that we are neck to neck with those filthy bastards.

What I have here is some vital information on the location of the final stone. In order for us to find it we must go out of our own ways and search for it. The stone could be in any form or shape, for that matter it could be anything. It could be anywhere in the Kingdom.

The way you will know it is a stone is that it glows when you bring it contact with this. Yes, a ring, a-very-reactive-stone-detector-plated-with-gold-ring. Now Natsume you will be carrying this ring, and you will have to find where it is. Understand?"

Serio gave Natsume the folder, Sir Hastings smiled and bridged his fingers (A/N like burns from Simpsons :) )

Natsume flicked through the folder, everything Persona had just mentioned was in there, there was just two little details he needed, the dead-line and where. He would start of in the capital and make his way south rotating west until he would end around the east.

"Natsume," the old man called out "I want you back here in two weeks time with at least a trace of the where-abouts of the stone"

Natsume nodded and walked back towards the Alley. He had a mission to fulfil. He passed the hooded figure again, and showed his palm.

"Natsume-kun" He turned around, regretting the moment he did "Why do you always ignore me?"

The hooded figure made its way towards him. "Look Shouda, I have got a mission to fulfil,"

"But Natsume-kun" her hood dropping of her head "Please don't leave me without an answer"

"Shouda, orders are orders" and with that the raven hair lad walked off, leaving behind a bewildered girl who had many questions in her head.

So how'd you guys like the prologue? Took me an hour to come up with the prologue, bear in mind chap 1 is already planned out and 45% written, it's really late here in England so I'm off to sleep!
