Chapter 1
He stares as he at the gate he has labour to make for the last two and three days. He knows that he didn't need one, but he just wanted to explore new worlds. He shallows and then picks up his pack. In it were blank notebooks and spell books. He also has some dried berries and fruit too. He looks nervously around the room.
He's lived here for ten years and he now feels ready to leave for a bit. The time limit on the portal was five years. He fingers the necklace that was his link. In the books were instructions on how to create a permanent doorway, so even if he loses the necklace, he'll be able to get back to this place.
He then takes a step towards the portal and then closes his eyes shut. He continues forward into the gate. He feels his world drop from under him. He opens his eyes and watches as he falls towards this black hole that seems to be pulling him in. Before he could think about stopping his descent, he's already in a blue sky and he uses his arms to brace for a rough landing.
He blinks as he crashes into something, or better yet, someone. He moves off the person and looks around. He already casted a language spell to break down that barrier. He finds himself in a jungle and the group he stumbled onto were just staring at him in awe.
He studies the beings in front of him and concludes that they remind him of pictures of trolls or orcs. They were either bulky or slender in build. They're skin colour was mostly dark purple with black stripes and green spots. Two fangs from the lower jaw can be seen as they rest on the upper lips. They have long pointed ears as well as long matted hair. The hair colours seem to have black, navy blue, grey, red, and white in colour, if he's to judge from this group of eighteen. They also carry assortment of weapons from simple daggers and spears to huge swords and axes. They also stand over six feet tall and have yellow, red, brown, and black eye colour.
"Sorry about dropping in like that. I didn't have too much time to react when I entered this world." He says in an apologetic tone. The group kneels down onto the ground and this one with red hair with a huge sword asks, "What is your name mighty one?" He gets nervous and says, "I'm kind of looking for a new name…" Before he could continue, the leader then shouts out, "All hail the great and powerful Raigi!" The others then begin to take up the cry as well. He just stares dumbfound at the group all cheering him and he also seems to have a new name too.
'Raigi Night, sounds ok for now. Better then Night I guess.' He thinks and soon finds himself being lifted onto the shoulders of a massive member of the group. They carry him away still hailing him to be someone of great importance. Considering that he's like five feet tall, he feels rather intimated by the size of these beings. He just decides to wait to talk with someone a great deal open minded about just what he is to this people.
(----Koichi----)
He frowns as he feels that spike in energy and then how it disappears. He looks south. He sighs and just hopes that Hinata and the other will be fine. Odd as it might sound, he has this feeling that things have just grown more complicated then they were a minute ago.
He turns back to his friend Yue and Shonie. They have only been traveling for five days already and they have come across a few wandering Oni. They killed them and burned the corpses to keep any more Oni from finding the bodies and eating them. They were lucky not to encounter anything other then Oni so far.
Yue asks after he catches up, "And?" He answers, "Something crossed over into our world." "Any clue if it's dangerous?" The older Nin asks. "Not a clue." He answers again.
Soon the silence descends once more over the three of them. They continue onwards, even though they have no real clue as to where the Oni tribe is. They were just head towards an area that Light village rarely does missions in. That's where they hope to find the tribe.
(----Hinata----)
She looks out at the small camp of JenFe!. It was a minor clan, but they were probably among the last clan to answer the gathering call. Lex explains, "You see, this clan is a subgroup of the Dea call. The yellow stripes and orange spots are the colours of that clan." "What about Orange strips and yellow spots?" Terish asks. "That's clan Lea." The Water Drake answers.
She thinks and then asks, "Do all clans end with ea?" Lex thinks about it and says, "Only the priest clan doesn't end in it. Also priest clan is called Soaring Wings and they don't have the stripes and spot tattoos. On their foreheads is a picture of a white and gold bird. They also have their own ranking system, not that anyone other then the priest clan know the rankings though." Haku then asks, "Should we avoid them?" Brim answers, "They don't handle relations with other races they leave it to the other clans, though the Sorea clan is the one that usually handles relations with other races."
They recheck their illusions and then processed towards the evening camp. Lex walks ahead of them to show that he's in charge of the group. Brim also walk to Haku's left side. She walks to Terish's right side and to Lex's right as Haku and Brim walk on Lex's left.
One of the more bulky JenFe! with black hair and two medium axes walks over to greet Lex. They listen as the JenFe! greets Lex, "I'm Twin Tomahawk, leader of this humble group of Dea clan. It's been many years since the Dea clan has ever offered a meal to a Water Drake, IrKiv, and three Virel." Lex answers, "I'm Lex and the IrKiv's name is Brim. The female Virel's name is Hinata and the male's name is Terish. The remaining male's name is Haku." Twin Tomahawk nods and then gestures towards the camp and then leads them into camp.
She looks around, wondering which of the JenFe! are female. She finds slender looking JenFe! but they seem to be male. Brim seeing that she's confused whispers, "Males and females don't live together. Also the females look very different then the males, for they have horns and tails with blades at the end of them. They also lack the long teeth coming out of the lower jaw." She's surprised at this, but decides to ask more about it later.
They enter a tent and they soon make themselves comfortable. Twin Tomahawk's two children served them drinks, as they drank their drinks, some more JenFe! enters the tent. There were a total of seven, including their host, fully grown JenFe! now in the tent. Three of them were of the slender variety.
They soon were sitting around the centre fire, they let Lex do all the talking, for it seems that their hosts prefer it that way. The oldest one of the group is named Eagle Age; he was sixty-four years old and is one of the slender types. Also Eagle Age has a scar running from his left cheek to his neckline. Great Spear is another slender type. Great Spear is thirty-seven years old and has white hair with yellow eyes. Black Owl is a bulky type and forty-six years old. Black Owl has red hair with black eye colour. Ice Blade is another bulky type with white hair and brown eye colour. Ice Blade is thirty-four years old. Moon Dancer is the third slender type and is twenty-nine years old. Moon Dancer has navy blue hair with red eyes. Lastly is Metal Star, he's bulky and is Twin Tomahawk's younger brother by twelve years. Metal Star is nineteen years old and has grey hair and yellow eyes. Twin Tomahawk also has grey hair, but has red eyes.
She turns to look at Twin Tomahawk's two boys. The elder is Legend Bow and is twelve years old. He has his fathers red eyes but his hair is black. Also she couldn't tell if Legend Bow will be as bulky as his father or his uncle.
Then there is Fox Trail, who is Legend Bow's five-year-old baby brother. Fox Trail has red for both his eye colour and hair colour. It seems that this occurrence is rare and most unusual. For it seems that Fox Trail might one day find himself killed to appease the gods because of his looks. For this reason, Fox Trail doesn't have the clan tattoos.
She then returns to listening to the conversation going on before her. "So Soaring Blood is getting challenges of what proof he has that the gods chose him to lead them against Light village?" Lex sums up the conversation. All seven adults nod their head at that. "That's about it. The times of changed, whether we like them or not. Even the priests are arguing about it too. It's turmoil among the clans and it would be for the best if you turn around and head home. I doubt that you'll get any trading done on at the gathering." Eagle Age says.
That relieves everyone of their group and soon they watch as the others leave, only Metal Star stays to have supper with his older brother and his nephews. They were invited to spend the night and they accept.
(----Hige----)
He soars above the village in the form of a hawk. He just enjoys the feel of the air going over his wings and the freedom he feels too. He has more then enough energy to transform at will and doesn't have to conserve energy either. He's been trying to shape shift into larger form too. He's ability to look human has improved too; only he still has pointed ears and longer nails then the norm.
He enjoy being with human children for they were always interested in what story he has for them. He also met Jeri, who is Koichi's younger sister. Jeri also like to ask him questions about where he's been and of what he has encountered too. He answers truthfully, even about the encounters he would rather forget.
He also has Hinata's house all to himself. He has been using the time to learn how to read and write, for it seems to be a common skill that every human has in Light village. He's also asked Jeri for help with that and she was happy to help. He's still learning how to hold the pen or brush just right, but he just needs practice. He can read better then he can write though.
He sees Jeri coming out of the school and begins to descend to the meeting point. He also changes his wing structure so he doesn't have to worry about catching an updraft. He soon makes it to the tree by the pools. It's also where large water beetles live too. They were enough to feed at least ten TerCa.
He transforms back into his normal form. He checks his brown fur on his back. He knows that the seal that Koichi place is still active, he feels it every time he flies over the village. It aches, but doesn't harm him though.
He waits for Jeri to show up with the blank paper, brush, and paint. He'd prefer the pens, but Jeri wants him to get use to the classic style first. She arrives and they soon get down to work. He hopes to surprise Hinata with his ability to read and write. He knows that she'll be pleased to know that he's been busy learning new things.
To Readers:
Here's the sequel to Starlight. For those of you who haven't read Broken Realities or Night's Search, they're Digimon fan fiction just to let you know. Raigi is the son of Takato, Guilmon, and Calumon. At the end of Broken Realities, all three of them combine into Raigi, or Night at the time. His description is in Night's Search. So Raigi will be exploring this Naruto world and some references to my Digimon story will also happen. Sorry, but how can Raigi ignore questions about his three fathers or about where he grew up?
