Star-Haha! My first fanfic! Maybe it's not as descriptive, creative, and unique like my wonderful sensei WingsofMorphius (WoM-sensei for short), but I'm getting there! :D I don't own Shugo Chara, or any of the Shugo Chara Characters. But the title, plot, and summary were created by me. Hope you enjoy!
Living on the planet of Alpha Centauri, Amu is thinking that she is just a cadet in training, working on her skills to become one of the greatest warriors in the Galaxy, formally known as "Alpha Guardians", just like her grandfather. He had suffered a severe injury 70 years ago, fighting a great evil. Right before his death, he passed down to his beloved granddaughter an ancient scythe named "Zaritheus", meaning "Solar Amulet". Amu has yet to harness this power, in order to defeat the evil "Xanu" who is controling the "X-droids" that are terrorizing the galaxy. Alpha Guardian Hotori Tadase, and Xanu know about the power she is yet to posses. But, it looks as if there is someone else that wants to use her power as well...
Solar Amulet
Chapter 1: The Beginning...
I remember that day, 10 years ago...the day I will never forget...
I was five. I watched my grandfather lying on the bed. His eyes were closed. That is when I lightly took hold of his hand.
Thank goodness, it is still warm I thought in my head. Maybe he would've lived a little longer, if he didn't get that injury 70 years ago...I then felt a small grasp of bony like fingers lightly squeezing my own. I then felt a strange atmosphere in the air. I didn't sense it well back then, but I know that it was there. A cold one; the ones you feel when someone is about to...
"Amu..." it sounded like someone trying to forcefully push out his own words, resulting for him to start coughing and breathing heavily. I started to squeeze his hand a little bit harder, but not very hard.
"Grandpa, please don't try to talk" I pleaded weakly. "You need to rest, so you can wake up in the morning again, like you always do." I started to feel a sting in my eyes.
I saw a thin smile creeping up onto the old man's mouth. It was a warm, elderly smile; but it didn't change the atmosphere around the room. I could feel it getting heavier by the second, as if it was telling me that grandpa was facing his final hour.
"Th..that scythe, bring it to me..." I quickly got up to take the strange looking object. The minute I turned around, he was struggling to sit up.
"P-please don't sit up!" I cried. I started to hold grandpa's chest. I could feel his heart slowly beating. Each thump took longer than the last...Still, I gave him the "Scythe" he was asking for...
He gently took the scythe from me, and held it in both hands. "Take this; thou are a beautiful child, with the strength of a thousand suns. You will succeed to the lineage of one of the greatest warriors in the enture galaxy... you are the chosen one... you know the secret to..."
"Stop it!" I shouted. I didn't want him to utter another word, for it might be his last. "Just stop, please." my voice lowered down, but it was raised yet again.
"W-why do you say these things?! I don't even know what a "chosen one" is!! Grandpa you can't die, you just can't!!" I was one minute away from falling to my knees and sobbing, like any child would do during this tragedy. But now, now just didn't seem like the time to do so...
"I..say so, because..." I saw him lay himself back down onto the bed. "I...believe in you. Now..try not to let me down, my beautiful grand-child..."
His hand slowly uncurled its fingers away from mine. I could feel his hand temperature slowly drop. I then stood up, and silently walked out the room, closing the door lightly. In a flash, I raced into the arms of my caring mother. Uncontrollable tears from my stinging eyes were running down my rosy cheeks.
"There, there Amu" said my mama, as she ran her fingers lightly through my hair.
"We all will miss him" said my papa in a soothing tone.
No, not like how I will miss him. I thought in my head while I was still sobbing.
I felt as if one of the most important people in the world, no, one of the most important people in the whole galaxy has just been ripped away. Yes, ripped away, never to return again. Suddenly, those words again appeared in my head:
"Take this; thou are a beautiful child, with the strength of a thousand suns. You will succeed to the lineage of one of the greatest warriors in the entire galaxy... you are the chosen one..."
I immediately removed my self from mama's arms, and raced back to that room. I looked away from the corpse that was lying on the bed, and paid my direction to the mysterious scythe. I kneeled down to pick it up with my petite hands. It was a large scythe, with blade so sharp that just touching it could make your finger bleed a little. On the stem, there was some carving of the ancient writing of Centaurian. I never knew how or when, but in a way, I could translate what it had said.
"Zaritheus…" I read while brushing away the dust on the scythe. "That means Solar Amulet"…
And that was the beginning of everything...
End of Chapter 1
STAR- So I finally started my first chapter of Solar Amulet. Not bad for a novice, huh? :D . As you can see, I'm going from a Shugo Chara! story, to a Sci-Fi; something that I have yet to witness. WoM-sensei encouraged me too! I will try to update at least once a week; that is if I won't break down from school :P
Please Read and Review! Thank-you! :D
