Hey guys! This is actually my first ever fanfic… so go a little easy on me. It's a work in progress. Thanks, and enjoy!
Prologue:
Who are you? The light had once asked me. And at that time, being the timid child that I was, I didn't respond. I looked around at the other shadowy figures that cowered back from the two of us. They formed a wall that blockaded us in. This bewildering light, and me.
I didn't understand then; their terrified faces flickering with blackened shadows. Faces I couldn't recognize, just watching me. Waiting for my answer. I kept my gaze low to the ground; eyeing the light's reflection. A young girl. Just like me. Her reflection cocked its head to the side, mirroring the curiosity in that haunting voice, Who are you?
"Yvelle." I shaded my eyes to get a better look at the girl behind the blinding light. "My name is Yvelle."
The crowds spun around me, faster and faster. And the starry sky above flooded the horizon; swallowing the land below. I remember how fast my heart was beating, loud and steady as a war drum. Before long I waded amid a sea of stars.
She- the light, it held its hand to me. Who are you? Her voice boomed like thunder in that ethereal realm. I stood a child in her divinity. Bathed in her light.
"I'm just me." I answered her.
Just you… She stood solemn, before retracting her hand. Slowly, she stepped out and circled around me. Yes...Your name is Yve. You are the farmer's daughter from Tipa. I let out a small gasp. The clavat girl with a heavy destiny.
"You know of me?" I asked her.
I know everything that ever was, as well as make way for what will be. She stopped pacing, to inch closer to my face. I had to turn away, the light was so blinding. And yet, you are not ready. Grow quick, my child. Grow well. We await you at the gates of Memoria.
I didn't have time to ask her what she meant then. And when I woke, I was just as clueless. I ran to my mother's arms and spoke stories of the crystal girl, and the sea of stars. I couldn't understand then why she started crying. I couldn't understand why she told me to never give the light my name.
Now that I know the answer, it's already too late.
We pretended that night never happened. We pretended I was just an average little girl. But turning a blind eye to the truth, never made it any less true.
My name is Yve, I'm a farm-girl clavat from the village of Tipa. I was a child then, but I had sealed my fate there. Since the day the crystal chose me, I had been born to walk the lands of monsters. I had been chosen to fight back.
