Disclaimer: Me no own digital monsters- tis a dream of mine though.
I'm writing this after finishing the whole story... phew... just a little note I wrote this story for my litle sister who loved digimon and fantasy stories...
READ-You'll like this story if you love putting your favorite characters into a different world and still keeping the essence of their character in the show that we all love... they'll all be in it don't worry.
I started this when I was 16 and after much procrastination finished it age 18
Randomness totally weirdness Note from the writer I write this note at approximately 12 chapters (About 52,000 words) into writing this story,,, and am somewhat near the end of completing this all together. All in all this story has been an on and off writing for about a year and a ½ its seen me begin to think and then revise and then take my big GCSE exams and has now followed me into A Level studies. Since then, well perhaps a year before that, the whole Digimon scene has begun to fade away from what it used to be. So I sit here and wondered whether I should continue writing if this story probably won't be read. But you know what I continued writing and monitored the fanfiction Digimon domain and still I see new stories popping up, not as fast as they used to but there are still loyal fans out there. The Digimon scene I must admit isn't what it used to be, and has been upstaged by the likes of Naruto and what not. So it is for this reason I continue my story for all those who may read a little bit or give it the time of day, because yeah I've long since grown out of digimon but it was still something I enjoyed and damn am going to continue enjoying. So basically KUDOS to those who still write and read and review… I admire you all!! TAIORA FOR EVER!!! (Please be aware that this was wrote during a hormonal week)
Chapter 1
"But father why does this have to happen?" A young fair-haired child cried tugging the noble mans sleeve.
His watery cerulean eyes glanced over at his sleeping friends, lost in an unnaturally induced deep slumber. They looked so peaceful but he longed to wake them and resume their childhood games in the flourishing lands.
He would wake to find his tousled hair playmate ready since dawn to frolic in the fields and explore the lands before them. They would eat breakfast and steal food from the moody staff in the kitchens, awaiting the awakening of the sleepy crimson haired child eager to join in their fun.
He could not bare the thought of them leaving his side, they were the only other children permitted into the castle and the children of the villages feared him for unbeknownst reasons, why was these means necessary.
"Amou you will accompany the children." The noble man replied ignoring the pleas of his young child.
"Amou!" The child cried dearly, flinging himself into the warm embrace of his nursemaid. Her warm sweet scent was enough to sooth the cries of any child, her loving words were all the kindness he had ever felt from an adult. Even when her dumpling face was flashed with sternness he knew smiles would follow.
She was his mother in everyway, and now along with her friends she was leaving, it was enough to send him into floods of innocent tears.
"My little bumble bee I'm sorry this has to happen." The soft-spoken women whispered, fluffing the fair hair of her adored surrogate child. "It won't be the same without my little bumble bee with his endless smiles and kisses, I love you and will always love you, don't forget that my sweet child that my kiss will linger on your cheek and when you place a finger to it I know you'll be kissing me back." She soothed planting a dainty kiss on his cheeks.
"You know what you are doing is best for all of us, I am to believe that the children will be placed with separate families." The noble man continued ignoring the pitiful snivels of his first-born son.
"Lotherain and his spouse will be taking care of the boy." Amou replied her heart breaking at the thought of leaving a third of her love behind. She would not be complete within herself for a long time.
"Yes his peculiar fetish for humans always would lead him astray. And what will be had of the girl."
"I understand Lotherain has made acquaintances with a couple longing for a baby, he believes they are suitable and trustworthy."
"Excellent! You have been a great help to me Amou and let me assure what you are doing is right for the people of this world. Rest assured all will be well once more!" He concluded, snapping his fingers sternly the woman let go of the sobbing child. Avoiding his saddened eyes she picked up the two sleeping children and quickly waded into the crystalline pool of water before her until she were completely submerged.
The sobbing child watched woefully as his friends slept under the shimmering pool of water and with a brilliant white flash were gone.
" I HATE YOU FATHER!" The child screamed; great dollops of bitter tears ran down his innocent cheeks as he stood before the grand nobleness of his father.
"SHUT UP CHILD!" The man roared, bringing his thunderous hand down to sting the child's cheek. "Be thankful you'll witness the new dynasty I will create." He sneered, leaving his son sobbing in the darkness.
…
"MOTHER! You don't understand!" The crimson haired girl cried wearily, rubbing her sleepy eyes, the afternoon felt like the despicable dawn.
"What I understand is that it is nearly late afternoon and you still have your studies to consider, darling please you cannot go see that boy now!"
Changing out of her worn nightie she carried on oblivious to her mothers words. She didn't understand that the late afternoon her day and the twilight night her evening. Plus she didn't feel complete without him by his side and she knew where he'd be, he'd be waiting for her late rising.
"Mother I love you but something doesn't feel right, I must see him." The anguished fifteen year old cried, pulling on her combats and vest top, kissing her mother on the cheek she ran out her bedroom door, the her front door, down the apartment block steps and to the canals side.
There he was sitting the tips of his toes making ripples in the water, his eyes fixated on the beautiful roaring sunset.
"Boo." The crimson haired girl whispered coolly in his ear, flopping down next to him and kicking her sandals off her feet so she could join him.
"You've felt it too." He spoke solemnly, gazing at the fiery sun, touching her naked toes with his.
"She's dying isn't she Tai." The girl breathed sadly, laying her weary head on his bare shoulders.
"Lotherain would kill me if I went but we can't leave her, she's a part of us Sora." Tai replied lovingly stroking the girls crimson hair.
"I remember when you used to call him dad, he would wring your neck if he knew you had even uttered his real name. But yes Tai we're definitely going even if it means more fault picking and nagging."
"That was when I could trust him, but he is just a complex web of deceit."
Clambering to their feet they headed back to the apartment block. Shuffling up the steps until they reached the first floor, number 47.
Knowingly they dug the key out of the left of her window box and let themselves in.
The apartment was still excruciatingly tidy, everything was kept neatly in its place as always and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The normality had always unnerved the pair since they were the tiniest children. However they felt it necessary to visit her home and no matter how much they tried to ignore it they felt tied to this woman.
Religiously taking off their shoes at the door they shuffled into the living room. Cautiously Tai reached for the door to her bedroom, always it had been a forbidden entry, and yet inside they knew she lay.
As soon as the door opened the anticipation in their hearts plummeted, it was as normal as any other room. White washed walls without a speck of dust, shelves containing numerous tattered books, an old antique dresser with a beautifully carved mirror and an old wooden bed where their Amelia lay.
Her once rosy cheeks had become pale and wrinkled, her eyes had lost their allure and she seemed drained.
Following her with their gaze, their eyes fell upon unfamiliar faces.
Three children immortalised in a picture, their faces splashed with mud and dirt but their smiles wide and innocent. A sleepy auburn haired girl, a wild brown haired child and a grinning fair-haired boy gazing back at them.
In another shot, it was the happy fair-haired child smiling as though he concealed all the happiness in the world.
Picking up the photo frames Sora began to trace the boys features, she felt as though she knew him, he was no more than a stranger captured in motion but she had this strong feeling within herself that she knew the boy.
"Get Your Filthy Hands Away From The Frames!" Amelia cried her voice raspy and strained.
They'd been forbidden a long time ago to visit the elderly woman's home. For as long as they could remember she had been off limits. The neighbours many a time had uttered malicious gossip about the woman and her contempt for children. Had she not been found wading in the canal clutching two young children? Disgraceful! And still religiously she seems to fling herself fully clothed in the murky waters, tis most disturbing.
"I'm sorry children!" The woman whispered, her voice weak and raspy. Sorry was not a word the children often heard uttered from her.
"Please Amelia shush." Sora soothed placing a concerned hand to the elder's feverous brow.
"I will not!" The woman snapped, motioning to push her hand away before relenting, comforted by her concern. "I am sorry for being snappy and hurtful to you at times, I am sorry for not loving you like I should have done."
"It's okay!" Tai breathed sitting beside the elderly woman and holding her hand in his, alarmed as tears sprung to her eyes.
"It's not okay. I am not okay. I am not Amelia and am your Amou." She cried breathing deeply. "I brought you to this earth to restore peace to the disruptive lands of Digitamara, only now I see that I was foolish in doing so."
"You're not making sense Amelia!" Sora soothed trying to calm the crying elder.
"I am not Amelia but Amou. You were not born of man, but of the unforeseen forces of Digitamara and I was your chosen keeper. Before that I was the nursemaid of a young prince. But I brought you all up together in harmony. But the winds of fate changed and it was foreseen that you would bring further destruction to that earth thus you were sent away here to Lotherain. I now know that it was a mistake to bring you here, your lives have been in jeopardy since the day you walked this earth."
"But Amelia.. Amou surely we would remember such a place, this doesn't make sense." Sora cried shaking her head, trying to comprehend the woman's ramblings.
"But it does my child, why you and Tai have only truly conversed with each other, your reluctance to travel far from the place. Your appreciation for the natural world, you see things deeper than any normal mortal can imagine. You and Tai are destined to bring peace to another world and now I see that it was a grave mistake on my part to bring you here. Forgive me children, I have always restricted the amount of love I could share with you, so many times I have tried to return yet my entrance to that world is sealed. He will not expect your presence in that world and there you will be able to find yourselves. I bid you all the luck in the world my darlings but my time is nearing end, I was always forbidden to tell you such things but you must search that world for your lost memories. The canal in which you can see the setting sun is the portal, take the two amulets on the side and they will guide you to that world. Please give my regrets to Lotherain but I am growing weary." She whispered, her face and words becoming more tiresome. "Tell him, I'm sorry, tell my little fair haired bumble bee to smile once more for his Amou, for I know they are now far and few." She breathed before falling into a peaceful eternal sleep.
………
"TAI PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS!" Sora cried tugging on her best friends sleeve; their reflection wavered in the murky canal water.
"Think about what Sora, for so long I have dreamt of things I cannot comprehend, Lotherain is no help to me and I cannot see myself living in this world much longer. I must hope that there is some truth in her words." Tai replied, his eyes glimmering with courage and hope. Silently he extended his hand to her, beckoning her to follow as the fiery orange gem glistened on his tanned chest.
Closing her eyes she grasped the dreamy pink gem around her neck. She felt her mind quieten- something that hadn't happened for a long time- the waters were calling to her.
Silently she held his hand in hers and taking a deep breath they jumped into the murky canal waters, which shimmered crystalline with their touch.
