The Light of the Ancients

PROLOGUE

FWEOOOOOO! A furious blizzard howled as a lonely figure scaled up a large mountain.

Trosh! Trosh! Trosh! The Figure's feet sounded in the 2 foot deep snow, and the figure shivered as the ice pellets and snow flakes struck.

HOOOOOOOOOO! A huge gale picked up, nearly knocking the figure over,

"AH!" the figure screamed, revealing it to be a woman, as she fumbled to stay up,

"Wah!" another voice added, revealing the woman was holding a baby.

"Shh." the woman told her child, "Don't speak so-"

KRAAAA! The mountain rumbled, and the worst of the woman's nightmares came true.

TRRRRROOO! A huge wave of snow came tumbling down,

"Ha!" the woman gasped, "No!" she cried as the snow rolled down, "NOO!" she screamed in horror.

POOOOMP! The avalanche struck the two...

0000000000

"Wahh!" the baby cried, and a light shone,

"Help... Me..." the woman called out to another figure holding a torch,

"How did you find this place?!" the figure yelled, "Ah!" he saw behind her, seeing the clumps of snow,

"Please..." the woman muttered, "Save... my baby..."

"I-I-I." the figure came up, revealing it to be a knight with highly ornate armour, "I can't..."

"Why not?" the woman asked,

"Because... I am dead..." the knight responded, and the light showed that he was a specter, "I died fighting the beast that roams the world..."

"Oh no..." the woman cried, "I really wanted to save her..." she muttered,

"I... can help..." the knight said, "If you find the place where the sun never sets and the flower never wilts... You can save your child."

"Where... Where is it?" the woman used her last force to stand up,

"Up ahead." the knight pointed, "It's a shame... I was so close." he sighed, then pointed to his frozen body nearby,

"Are you sure?" the woman asked as she looked ahead, seeing it was a treacherous cavern,

"I highly believe it..." the knight said, "I am a messenger sent to deliver the letter to the one who lives there." he told her, "If you could get my note and deliver it, maybe I could rest in peace."

"Alright..." the woman said and walked over to the knight's body, then plucked the scroll that was on his left hand,

"Thank you." the knight smiled, "I hope you and your baby will reach the place I could not... I think I can leave now." he said, waved, and disappeared, leaving the magical torch behind,

"Ok..." the woman sighed and grabbed the torch, "Here we go... my love." she told her baby as they ventured in...

0000000000

"Ha... Ha..." the woman panted as she walked down the dark cave, "Cah! Cah!" she coughed terribly, the cold was getting to her.

However, she continued, though her forces were failing... She used some of it to travel, but the most to save her precious treasure.

"I think I can't go any farther." the woman sighed and fell on her knees in exhaustion, "I'm sorry... love." she cried, but then stopped when she felt a warm sensation on her face.

The woman regained strength in order to see what this odd phenomenon was, then walked by a turn, and was stunned.

"Woah..." she said in awe, as around the turn, was a beautiful garden with a spring, "I made it!" she cried and used her last forces to run to the place.

KRAK! The Cave roared, and surely enough, a rockslide appeared,

"No!" the woman yelled, and ran with such speed that it seemed unnatural due to her condition.

The rocks came closer and closer, and she saw she was not going to win,

"I'm sorry, my baby..." she whispered to her child, then threw the baby with all her might.

"WAH!" the baby cried as she flew in the air.

POOMP! The babe landed in the soft grass of the garden,

"Forgive me... Frey..." the woman called out...

The rocks drowned her over...

0000000000

"KA!" a voice laughed, and a small fairy appeared from one of the flowers, hearing the incessant crying of the baby, "ooh!" she laughed,

"Wah!" the baby cried,

"Fairy..." a voice told her, "Bring the child to the head of the spring... The babe is a child of destiny."

"Ka!" the fairy said and used her magic to lift the baby, then gently placed the child down at the top of the fountain.

"Fairy... This will be your master." the voice said, "Together, you two will change the world..."

"Yay!" the fairy cheered, then sat down next to the baby.

SCHWOOOO! The sun inside the paradise shone down on the two...

Just a small sneak peek of thing's to come...
Treat this as a teaser trailer... Or whatever, hope you stay!
