The Peace Maker
The Legend of Sunset, the Third Angel
Prologue part 1
…How long…how long does it take…for a wandering soul…a lost soul…to finally die? Before I met Riaka, I would ask myself that question all the time. Before I met my good friend, that is what I was, a lost soul. This is my, and Riaka's… or better yet…our story.

My "life" began the same time the legendary Phantom Thief, Dark, and his other half, Krad, where born. If fact, you might say I'm supposed to be their third half. As the legend goes, when the Black Wings created Dark and Krad, they were absorbed by the Niwa and Hikari families. But the part of the legend only known to the two of them, is what happened to me at the time. I too was created from the Black Wings, a third angel. If Dark truly is darkness and Krad is the light, then I am a mix of both. I was created to keep balance between the two…a Peace Maker. Unfortunately for me, every angel must have a "tamer". You might say that Dark and Krad were born first and found their tamers, the Niwas and Hikaris, right there and then. I was born last and my soul found nobody nearby to become my tamer… my soul was forced to wander. I took up the shape of a feather from my own wings and drifted with the wind.
But winds don't blow forever. I soared for about one hundred years in my feather form before landing in an alleyway. I lost track of how long I was there, but I do remember my soul waking to the sound of a kitten's cry. Then, she appeared…my new wings. When I first met her, she was a tiny, thin, creamy-white kitten with sapphire eyes and huge ears. Like me, she was lost and alone. She became my first friend whom I named Kari. We shared the same feelings. The two of us not only created a friendship, but a partnership as well. She carried my feather form around to help me find my tamer and in return, I gave her some of my immortality and magic. Like how Dark has that little bunny of his, With. In fact, Kari was one of many who helped me finally find my tamer.

It was four hundred years after the three of us were born. The air was cold and the year promised a winter wonderland. Everything around was pure white…except for the poor kitten who held my feather between her shattering teeth. Even as a lost soul, I could sense my friend's troubles as she stumbled through the alleyways. "Don't push yourself, my friend," I spoke to her in the animal language I had learned from the years we had spent together. "You've done enough, really. Find yourself a place to rest." Kari looked down at my feather, a look of worry in her eye. "I'm fine, really Kari. It's better if you find some warmth. We can continue the search for my tamer in the morning." She mewed in agreement, but the moment she turned a corner, "GRRRR!" a huge black dog came out from between the dumpsters. And…if there's one thing that scares Kari more than water, it's canines! "Keep calm, Kari. Don't make any sudden movements." I tried to warn her, but fear got the better. The dog moved one paw closer and she took off blindly through the alleys. We came to a road and she stopped to catch her breath. As she panted, my feather moved slightly towards the road. It was then that I saw what was coming. "Kari, MOVE! Run NOW!" Too late, the car tried to stop, but picked up speed against the icy road. *BANG* My poor little friend…was hit. It was hard to watch and not be able to do anything to help. Part of me even wanted to use her as my tamer, just to give her enough power to live.
"Oh you poor thing! I'm so sorry!" a voice came and we looked up. The woman driver had gotten out of the car and lifted Kari in her arms, my feather still in her mouth. "Don't worry, little one. I'll take you to the vet, you'll be safe there." The woman was in her early twenties with long brown hair and gentle blue eyes. "Hmmm? What is this?" She took my feather from Kari's mouth. My power flowed through her hand the moment she touched it, but as suddenly as it started, it stopped. "You…you've already found true love." "Who…who said that?" "I did." I whispered as I let my ghostly human form flow around the feather. She was not afraid of my form. It was almost as if she had seen magic before. "My name…is Sunset. I'm the third angel from a legend. Would you be willing to help me?" The woman stared at me for a minute before smiling, "My name is Tenshi Hinode…of course I'll help you."

My first D.N. Angel fanfic. Hope you like it. Sunset is based on a dream I had when I finish watching the anime. Tenshi Hinode is the main character's mother. Her name means Angel Sunrise. I wanted Kari to be kinda like With. But the way I see her, she looks more like a part cat part bat character. Anyway, this is just part 1 of the prologue. Stay tooned!
