Yuuno's coming back.
Okay, that aside for those who read and…reviewed my previous Nanoha fic, Sacrifice, this is somewhat a spiritual prequel, in the sense of technical execution. Think of it as another chapter in a trilogy or something. Depending on which, I may continue on further depending on creative juices.
Did I mention that Yuuno's coming back?
Before Beginnings
A story of 2 children's beginning, that leads to the end…because every end is a new beginning.
Disclaimer: It's just the 2nd time and I'm already tired of this. I don't own a single cent of this franchise other than merchandises so don't sue me.
"I am sorry…my son."
Amidst the mountainous range and the lush forest of the deepest Midchildan territories, a lone shadow, with it's back turned, ran off and left the grassy plains deep within the green lands…leaving only a small child behind.
A small baby with bright, forest green eyes, wrapped in a simple brown drab, was left there all alone. Mildly frail and silent, with only soft sounds of a sob being heard from the mere infant.
Before long, darkness came and shrouded the skies above. Rattling sounds of jungle beast were visible, and time was slowly draining the young child's life. The baby was crying, life slowly being taken away from the advent of silence and loneliness.
However, 2 figures in hoods, the shorter one wielding a simple illuminative light magic, came before the small baby. Kneeling beside him, his arms held out and carried the young child in his arms. The hood uncovered revealed a middle-aged old man with a stern, yet dignified, with hints of gray around his hair.
"What parents could be so cruel to leave a child like this…out here? If we came any later, he could've been feasted upon by the guardians of the forest."
The other person removed his hood to reveal a younger man, looking around to be in his 20s, with jet black hair and eyes. A stern look from his eyes looked at the small child, almost as if he was intimidating him.
"What should we do with the child? If it needs to be, we can always request the authorities to handle such matters during the executions of-"
The elder cut him off.
"We will raise him as one of our own, as one of the Scryas."
The other was mildly taken aback, but before he could further relay his thoughts…
"I know what you're thinking, Familia. But this is my decision. This child, now scion of Scrya shall be named…"
"Yuuno. Yuuno Scrya."
Deep down in the darkest abyss of the Scryan valleys, a small jewel, hidden within the cores of the holy soil, shined.
"…. Can someone hear me?"
"Can you hear…my voice?"
And so it begins…The beginning before beginnings.
Author's Note:
Okay, I realize this is ridiculously short, but keep in mind that it was originally supposed to be a one-shot, until I kinda flunked out of the POV part, since Yuuno can't first-person as a baby…not unless he's Reborn or some l33t super baby.
The following chapters and so, on will address the story further from Yuuno's POV, just like Sacrifice did, just to reenact the real feel of the story.
So, opinions please, of course. My 3rd person-style writing is quite inexperienced, due to lack of writing such, so opinions on how to improve on and critics so on would be appreciated. In other words…R & R.
Until Nightengale, bye.
Nighty Gale.
Yuuno's coming back!
