Darien's Quest

Prologue

In the golden city Gaea, capital of the great Earth

kingdom, ruled a dynasty that lasted for a thousand years.

Throughout the long years, Earth battled other kingdoms

until it has united all of the people in the known civilized

world. Under the kind and loving rule of the Terran family,

the people lived freely and peaceful and called the last

three hundred years the Golden Age.

The people were celebrating the Silver Feast that

honored a legend of a great age when all of the races of men

lived in harmony. The celebration lasted for ten days, one

for each race: Earth, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus,

Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, and Moon. However, over the years

the great feast became a time when people would dress up and

mock each of the legendary races. They thought that there

could be no better age than theirs, for they lived in peace

and prosperity. They felt that only the Terran family has

brought them the great age they have desired for so long.

They also could not fathom how the other races of man

could exist. The Earth people had brown eyes and hair that

matched the soil that they lived on. The first day was the

feast of Earth because they believed that they are the true

race of men and the others are just myths. On the second

day, they celebrated Mercury. Those people were known for

their vast wisdom. They lived on a mysterious island,

called Atlantis, somewhere out in the great ocean. They

were said to have blue hair and eyes. Mars was celebrated

on the third day. This legendary race lived in the heart of

the Great Volcano. They had black hair and eyes that always

had fire reflecting in them. These people had the power of

prophesy. The people of Jupiter were celebrated on the

fourth day and were know for their great size and green

eyes. They were thought to have lived in the heart of the

jungle. These people had Herculean strength that surpassed

all of the other races. The Venus feast occurred on the

fifth day. They were known for their beauty and had hair

that was like gold. They lived in the mythical city of El

Dorado, in the valley below the High Mountains. On the

sixth day, the Earth people feasted on the day of Uranus.

These people were whispered to be very tall and had long

legs that let them race the wind. They often wore their

hair short. This race was heard to dwell on the High

Mountains. The race of Neptune was celebrated on the next

day. These people had sight beyond sight. They were able

to look in to other's hearts and souls. The Neptune people

were thought to have lived under the sea. They had hair so

blue-green; one would have guessed that it were a part of

the sea. The race of Earth feasted Pluto on the eighth day.

These people lived underground and were dark to match the

environment they lived in. According to legend, these people

were the guardians of the Door of Time. On the next to the

last day, was the celebration of Saturn. These people had

dark hair and pale, fragile bodies. They lived in Avalon,

the land between life and death. These people were feared

because they brought death and destruction. On the last day,

the Moon people were celebrated. These people had large blue

eyes like the sky and pale blonde hair that was the color of

the moon. No one remembers much about the moon people except

they ruled over all of the nine races. They had a great and

powerful crystal, the Mystical Silver Crystal, from which

their awesome power drew.

It was whispered that the Moon and Earth had a dangerous

love affair and that in the blood of the Terran family ran

thinly that of the Moon. No one believed in this old wives

tale, for none of the royal family showed any sign of the

moon-blood. None of them had blue eyes.

************************************************************

The queen was overdue for her child. All of the Earth

kings were born on the day of the Earth. However, that was

nine days ago and today was the feast of the Moon. She

began to worry about her child and if it would ever be born.

At that moment she went into labor. A few hours later she

birthed a boy; a boy with blue eyes.
