Cryptic Kingdom
(Prologue)
Whispers of life carried by the night's cool breeze wrapped around her like a lucid dream. She stood near the gate, eyes closed, soaking up the marveled sound of a lone violin playing one distinctive song over and over. Her best friend glared at her with fury in his eyes as she listened to the silvery tune.
In his room, the forlorn prince of the tainted kingdom continued to play. His hands moved with skill and grace as the bow gently slid over the strings of his precious violin. He did this every night just as the sun went down. 'This song', he told himself, 'will set us free again…' Before long, the violin was joined by the faint sound of a piano, then by the haunting hum of the cello. As the three princes played from their rooms, they dreamed of basking in the faint moonlight that brought them to life time and time again.
It was said that when the princes were thought to be something other than human, they were each locked in their own palace behind a single golden gate. A powerful mage heard of their predicament and placed an incantation upon them, both as a blessing and a curse. To save each prince the pain of reality, they were locked inside their own homes made of silver, crystal, and jade. Whenever the dawn of light touched the royal grounds, the imprisoned court faded away with the night's bleak darkness.
As the song reached its countless end, the violinist set down his bow and peered out the stained glass window at the two forms standing just outside his reach. 'They can see us?' he asks himself while unlocking the brass latch holding the window closed.
From outside, the young girl and her friend watched with amazement as someone leaned out the window and called to them: "The morning approaches, you must take your leave!"
AN: Confused? Sorry…I should be doing my online classes right now, but I wanted to start this. I apologize for any errors; I'll fix them right away.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Crescent Moon or any of its characters, nor do I own any of the ideas I may borrow from other animes, books, or movies. I only own the basic story line, nothing else.
Well, that's the prologue! I'm sorry it's so short, but I'll work on making the actual chapters longer if anyone wants me to continue this. (This is a warning, I'm making this a Mahiru-Nozomu story but all of the main characters will be in it.) I really appreciate you reading this; please don't forget to review!
Thanks!
