Stolen From Her

I walked down the stairs and there all the children awaits me. My blond hair was standing out but it's ok really. My name is Miwa Taishi and I'm a story teller of a certain orphanege my friend and I made. There used to be no orphange in this country, every abandoned children would run around the city searching for leftovers food. That stopped when me and my friends came to this town and started rebuilding it.

"Ok kids. Today is your favorite day. It's story day!" I said. It's true. We build a small school for the abandoned children and we teach them. I'm not really good at teaching so I only teach sports, a bit of language and stories to them. This time, I'll tell them a special story.

"You see. This story is actually a real story. It was so hidden that almost no one knew about it" I sat down on my chair and started telling the story.


Long ago, a country ruled by a kingdom lived peacefully. Everyone thought it would always be like that but a dragon appear. The dragon would eat human and no knights nor warriors can stop him. The country thought it was over for them.

One day, a girl came by the dragon and started singing with a lovely voice. The dragon sat in front of the girl and seems to be mesmerized by her. Looking at this occurence the ministry decided to send girls who will sing prayer for the Dragon as exchanged to all the others life. That chosen girl is called 'Diva'.

Being a Diva is not really easy. There's something special. That is to balance the light and shadow inside of her. If the light are too much the dragon will get angry if the shadow are too much the diva might lose her life. For the purpose of teaching them, the ministry chose special wizards or mages to be someone like a Dragon Keeper. Who would always take a look over the dragon if there's anything bad happening.

A girl with brown hair dances and sings. But she knew it's coming to an end. She didn't balanced her shadow and started choking out blood. She let out her voice and started singing the prayer again it was good enough to make the dragon sleep but not good enough for her life to last. At last, the girl let out her last breath in front of the sleeping dragon in her hand a small necklace with a picture of a dirty blonde hair boy with her smiling together.

"Usui Yuri wasn't good enough, High Priestess" a light lavendar-haired girl, the current Dragon Keeper, Tokura Misaki, said to a blue orb floating on her hand. Her face covered by a mask which was forced to be put on her. Like it was a curse. The orb started letting out images of the High Priestess, known as Tatsunagi Suiko.

"Well we gotta send the next Diva. Great~ Kenji! Set the soldiers to take the next Diva!" Suiko commanded. Kenji, the boy similar to the boy in Yuri's necklace, behind Suiko grunted but still followed her orders. Soldiers started walking out of the castle and heading to a small village at the west side of the country. Everyone who looked at the soldiers hurriedly hid their children.


Small cries was heard. In the bed two babies, one girl and one boy both with blue hair and blue eyes cries. The mother, Shizuka ran down the stairs and smiles at them, singing to them a sweet lullaby.

In a Dragon cave, Don't you be afraid

Everything'll be fine, as long as you keep pray

With light and shadow combined, The dragon keep still

But that will not last, Since time won't stood still

Don't cry my baby, I'll always protect you

Keep each other safe, For the fate will guide you

The lullaby keeps ringing and it sweet melody caused the children started laughing. Following the children, Shizuka also laughed. Shizuka smiled at them and pulled out two necklace, one for Asaka the girl and another for Aichi the boy. Both of them hugged the necklace with their petite little hands. As if saying 'thank you' Asaka and Aichi stretched their hands out, trying to reach their mother.

When Shizuka was about to pick Asaka up to hug her, knocking was heard from the door and Shizuka went to open it. When she did soldiers rushed in not even waiting for her permission. Shizuka realises that one of them took Asaka from Aichi's side, she started to run to try to stop them. But one of the guards took her and closes her movement. Taking Asaka away from her right in front of her eyes. Asaka was stolen from her right in front of her eyes

"No! Asaka! Give me back my baby!" Shizuka cried out. Every other villager can do nothing about it. The boys and girls ttried hard to cheer Shizuka up, the mothers and fathers also did, but nothing made her smile. The only baby left within her care is Aichi. So Shizuka tried hard to make Aichi better. So that maybe, just maybe, Aichi can meet his sister once more.
