Hello readers and authors and random people who-just-so-happened-to-be-curious-on-what-this-story is-about. For those of you who have read my Soul Eater fic and my other Fairy Tail fic, I know what you're possibly thinking. "You should be working on your SE fic so you can move on with your FT fic" or "Why are you already working on a sequel when you should be working on your other stories." Truth be told, I was having another writer's block and this was the only idea that appeared in my head. So I went along with it and started this. Anyways, here is the sequel to Journey of the Scarred Light. For those of you who have read Saint Parallel can't save you now by Fatherfail, you'll know why I'm making a sequel, but if you haven't, you'll find out soon enough. Anyways, if you guys read the summary then you'll know that I am NOT requesting for OCs. I will only ask those that I want to send in an OC to send one (I might ask a favor/question, but other than that, that will be my only exception). Read, enjoy, review!
Light's Reflection in a Shadowed Mirror
Prologue: Light is Captured in a Mirror
Darkness ensnared the empty halls. Only quiet footsteps could be heard echoing. It didn't belong to a man or a woman but to a child. The child quickly made his way down the halls. "I need to find out what's in it." He only had one chance to find out before it was gone. The boy began to slow down and then fully stopped in front of a door with engravings on the frame (the engravings told about a rebellion). The boy opened the door and in the room were many books and shelves. The light from the moon pierced through the darkness and gave the things in the room light a pale blue glow.
The light shined on the boy that had entered. He was no older than nine years old. He had messy dark oak hair, dark oak eyes, and tanned skin. At the moment, he was wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts. "No... no... no- here it is!" The brunette took out a book with a dark blue cover and back and a dark gray spine. It was wrapped in chains engraved with runes. He had been wondering what was in the book that made it so dangerous. Without hesitation, the child formed a small blade of light with his index and middle fingers and cut the chains off. Before he could open the book, he heard people running and screaming his name. He didn't have much time before he was caught. "It's now or never!" As he opened the book, someone ran into the library. He appeared to be in his twenties. The man looked almost identical to the child except he had light chestnut hair and was a bit tanner than him. He was wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt and white sweatpants.
"What are you doing! I told you to stay away from that book!" the man shouted.
"Why! I want to know why this book is so dangerous!" the boy retaliated angrily.
"That book KILLS people! I don't want to lose you alright!" the man yelled, walking closer to the boy.
"It's. Just. A. Stupid. Myth!" The boy tried using his magic but instead, he swiped the book open. Black-colored runes began to swirl around the boy. Eventually, the runes pressed themselves against his body. Burning pain pulsed through him, causing him to scream.
"NO! Light Dragon's Thrusting Claw!" Light wrapped around the man's hand as he clawed the book out of the child's hands. The runes disappeared and the pages of the book were shredded and burnt. The boy was lying on the ground, gasping and writhing in pain. In the boy's eyes, all he could see was fuzzy shapes, and all he could hear was mumbling. All he could feel was leftover pain wracking his body while his mind was in a complete haze. His mind was quickly engulfed in darkness.
This is by far my shortest prologue ever. In fact, the shortest chapter I've ever made. Anyways, the first chapter should be uploaded in a little bit. But the way chapters will be connected is going to something completely different than I have ever done. If this system doesn't work, I'll have to redo the story. Wish me luck, guys. Bye for now.
PS You guys are more than welcomed to guess how the prologue came to be or offer random ideas that popped up in your head while you were reading.
PSS There's a chance I might post another FT story about another one of my OCs but I'm not sure yet.
PSSS Until JotSL (Journey of the Scarred Light) is finished, this story will only be updated when I have no inspiration for my other stories.
