Prologue
The sound from the old bells in the dusty church clanged loudly and far into the lands as it informed the citizens of Rosemarsh that it was midnight. As the clanging continued to pierce the silence of the town a man desperately ran through the dark alleyways of the lower slums in the city. The rats fled from the trashcans as he rammed into them and stumbled on deeper in with his pursuers slowly calmly approaching from behind. His breathing was heavy and he desperately tried to shake of his pursuers but deep down he knew that he would never lose them no matter where he escaped. He turned right and went a few steps ahead before noticing that he was facing a dead end. He cursed under his breath and turned around to find two men blocking the entrance. Their black clothes fitted nicely into the dark street and they somehow reminded him of the grim reaper. He backed a few steps into the alley and nervously licked his dry lips. It was an old habit of his to lick his lips whenever he was afraid or nervous.
"Give us the item we want professor, there is no need to shed blood on such a beautiful night. Just give us what we want and we'll let you go." The shorter man said while taking a step forwarding and stretching out his left hand.
"Ohoho, thanks for the benevolence that you are showing me but I'm afraid that I've been together with your sort to know that you lie as good as you track people down, which unfortunately is a bad trait for such young men as yourselves. Stalking other people is never a good habit you know." He replied in a nervous voice while licking his lips even more.
"It seems as if you don't have the intention of handing us it. A pity indeed professor I thought that you were a bit smarter than this, after all without you we would never have gotten the location of the relic in the first place." he said while smoothing his sleeves in a sugar coated voice but he could not hide the pleasure in his tone. He knew that the streets would be covered in a nice crimson color today; he was already eagerly waiting for the moment to arise.
" Sorry to burst your magnificent train of thoughts of how to dispose of me but I already have some plans for this evening so I will have to excuse myself for now." after finishing the sentence he pulled out a gun from his left pocket and grinned before killing himself. The blood from the dead body oozed slowly along the alley and into the sewers. The full moon was out that night and for anyone who looked at it, it seemed to have turned a bit more crimson than the usual milky color.
The body was found the next morning when a drunkard came crashing into the alleys after losing his money at the infamous casino in the city. When he stumbled onto the he was so surprised that he stumbled out of the alley thinking that he had seen a hallucination. When he sobered up and returned to check if it indeed was a hallucination the blood stains remained but the body was nowhere to be found.
Fallbell was a prosperous city which was located a few miles from Rosemarsh. The city was famous for the prestigious school Calluan which was specially aimed for talented and rich kids in the country of Arcium. The students received the best education and the teachers excelled in their own field of expertise. Usually students that graduated became leaders in their specific field which promoted its name throughout the countries.
The new term was starting soon and a carriage slowly approached the city gates. The young boy was sleeping peacefully inside before he was awakened by the sudden impact that slightly jolted the carriage. His brown eyes sleepily gazed on the vast and impressive landscape and he made a deep sigh. The wind gently passed through his hair and he yawned sleepily.
A new city meant a new way of living; a new way of living meant a new life. He slumped back into the soft seat closed his eyes, truthfully speaking he wasn't looking forward to it that much since it probably was going to be such a pain.
A/N: So yeah this is the prologue of the story that I made up… Not that good actually x) but I guess it's better than nothing. As you can see I've completely remade the whole setting and I might mess around with the characters too depending on what is needed. The first chapter should come out shortly:P and if you have any wishes for pairings (crossovers from other animes/mangas are allowed) I will see if I can meet your demands :D. Thanks for reading!
