it was late in the evening when the famous Fanalis corps was patrolling by a river for some typical bandits that stole from the empire. one such Fanalis was ready for a fight. the others were all talking about how they'll beat the bandits, the captain, Muu Alexius heard hissing in the air. the man turned to his crew when a large flash happened. villages near the explosion, all turned to the source of the sound next came shouts and the calling of a name.
in the early morning in a settlement called the Vulka village, lived a girl named Dauwn; the fourth and youngest daughter of the lord of village. Dauwn woke up early that morning, getting dressed in her ranger gear and began to try to sneak out out of the house..
"and just where are you going?" asked a familiar voice
"Luria!" Dauwn spun around "heh heh heh, Hi, Good morning! how are you big sis~?" she chucked nervously
"Good Morning Dauwn. now are you gonna answer the question?" Luria asked
"oh... I'm just going out..to get some..." Dauwn looks around and spoke, "Pipirka?"
Luria smiled with amusement "Alright. just remember to return when the sun is high."
Dauwn happily nods turning around and running out. Luria knew it was no use telling her to stay in doors, her sister needed that freedom and was too use to it. In no time Dauwn burst out of the horse stable on her best friend Daylight. A painted white and brown horse. she was smaller and leaner then other horses but, man, can that horse run.
Dauwn and Daylight ran through the forest, Dauwn made sure not to cross into the Knuna village territory. if she did the knuna people would know it and that would cause a big stir between the two villages. the rider and horse made their way up the hill to get to the river for Daylight's running break.
"your getting faster each time we run girl." Dauwn said to daylight. Daylight neighed in delight.
once the river was in sight Dauwn got off her steed so she could drink and catch her breath. Dauwn went to a leafy bush and brought out a fishing lure that she had hidden away, With a plop Dauwn tossed the fishing lure in the water.
Dauwn sighed as she sat down, thinking as she usually did, this time she thought of her father. how she and her dad went down to this very river and fish. Dauwn remembered her Father teaching her and her Brother Myugi how to use a lure and what to look for in fishing. in the middle of her thought she could feel a breeze on her forehead and snapped back to reality to see Daylight blowing a breath on her.
Dauwn giggled as she brushed her forehead. "don't do that, girl." she lightly scolded. the women looked at the lure, it wasn't moving just sitting there in the water. As she stared at the water something caught her eye. a bit of blue cloth that was caught between the rocks.
"what's that?" she asked Daylight. even though she knew Daytime couldn't answer her. she took the cloth out of the rock and examined it. it was rather silky and soft.
"where did this come from?" Dauwn thought, looking around when Daytime gave an alert neigh. Dauwn looked at what her horse was referring to. Just a ways down from where she was, laid a bulking man. Dauwn gasped loudly, running over to the passed out man.
Dauwn tried shaking him awake. "excuse me! hey! are you alright!?"
The man didn't respond. Dauwn turned him over to get a good look at him facially. A jolt of fright swam up her spine when she got a good look at him. Dauwn saw people like this once, red hair, tanned skin, silver piercing on his lower lip. the man was an Fanalis but that isn't what scared her. This man's face had a scar like gash which showed the side of his teeth permanently. the scar on his mouth made it seem like he was smiling wildly. the man had shaggy hair and a rather scruffy beard. he looked like a savage to her.
Dauwn lowered down to him, trying to feel a pulse. she couldn't feel anything "uh oh". Dauwn lightly slaps his face to get a response. the man didn't stir, her face scuffled a bit, Dauwn knew what she had to do but the man's lips weren't exactly prince charming's lips. Dauwn inhaled and with a swift motion she put her lips on his lips, blowing air into his lungs. Dauwn started to give the Fanalis CPR. after three breaths and pushing on his chest,
As she pressed on his chest she muttered "ugh,my first kiss..taken by a ,maybe, dead guy.." soon as she said that water immediately regurgitated from his lungs, the Fanalis began to cough more water then laid back still.
Dauwn listened to his chest. she could hear a quiet heartbeat, he was still alive; thank goodness. Dauwn turned to her horse daylight.
"Daylight, I'm taking him home with me." she stated. hauling him over her back, which was easier said then done.
Daylight snorted and walked over. finally she lifted the huge guy up and over her back but ,holy magi, was he heavy! thanks to Daylight biting his sash to lift him up a bit, the two manage to get the man back to Dauwn's house.
"Look out!" cried Muu "magic land mines!"
it was too late as explosions of smoke shot upwards. "this is what they stole!" one fanalis cried out. Lo'lo's sense fooled with smoke and the blinding light stung his eyes. He could hear shouts from the bandits coming closer. despite hearing them, he couldn't see or smell them. backing up his foot landed on a mine spot. all he felt was pain as he shot in the air, he flew back in the water. Lo'lo tried to fix himself to swim out but his head smacked into a rock, that's when he blacked out.
Lo'lo stirred, opening his eyes, his vision was blurry but it quickly came into focus. Lo'lo shot up looking around at his surroundings. it looked like a log cabin, but it was very luxurious even his bed was very comfy and luxurious feeling. hearing the door opened he looked over, three figures came in. All blonde, two females and one male. the tallest one had her hair tied up in a braid bun, she wore a blue dress. the boy also wore blue but his outfit looked more archer. the last one, which was in his opinion, was WAY more beautiful then the one in blue one. she had a flame red dress, brown buckle with grey spheres around the belt, and fur around the neck piece with a heart charm being use as a tie, lastly she had three golden neck rings. curious thing about her was that she seemed to have a red heart shape on her forehead.
The red girl was the one who talked first. "Hey, Hey. your finally awake. it's nice to see your still alive. I found you passed out by the river and brought you here to have your wounds healed."
the girl began but Lo'lo was in no mood for small talk, even if he was thankful for this girl who claimed to have pulled him from a watery grave.
"Where am I and how far is this place from Reim?" Lo'lo asked quickly and rather rudely
the three looked at each other and made a little circle amongst themselves to process his question, they consorting on the information before the red girl responded
"my brother says Reim is north of here. it'll take 3 or 5 weeks to get there by foot." the red girl explained
"Nah, damn! that blasted river really carried me that far.." Lo'lo mummered as he tried to get up but a sharp pain kept him from standing.
"please don't move, sir! that wound is very fragile" the older blue one said
"I had worst, besides I have places to be." Lo'lo retorted, he tried one more time to get up but was pushed back down but it was by the red girl this time.
"oh come on ugly Dude, at least rest until you get up again." the red girl said as she contuined. "besides I wanna know, what's your name?"
Lo'lo crossed his arms and his rage built up but it quickly died as it sent pain all over his body. he didn't appreciate the girl pushing him back down so easily AND calling him ugly. " tell me yours first, Blonde. and maybe I'll tell you mine" Lo'lo told her. he had a slight distrust for them, he couldn't be too careful
"OK, well that's my older siblings, Myugi, and Luria. as for me, my name's Dauwn." Duawn smiled happily, "and you are in the Valka village, now will you tell me your name?"
Lo'lo didn't really ask for her siblings names but whatever. "fine, then.."
"my name is Lo'lo, Member of the Reim's Fanalis corps."
