Chapter 1 - A Story Unfolds
Inhuman battle cries rang out through the dark sky from the direction of the deep, forboading woods. The shimmer of light from the moon overhead brought to life the battle down below in a large clearing directly undeneath the moons ever-watching eyes. Human like figures moving faster than humanly possible danced about different types of creatures, bears trying to claw through the black blurs and hawks swooping down from above, none of these animals or the rest of their armada were doing any damage to the blood thirsty beasts, and some losing their lifes in the process.
Albeit interesting these animals weren't the stars of the show, that prize went to the abnormaly large wolves ripping of heads and limbs of the red-eyed demons. In a far corner, near the tree-line of the clearing, a young girl with flowing shadow-like hair and glowing cobalt eyes with a ring of gold kneeled, tears cascading down her petite yet cut face. Soft whispers escaped her mouth as she held onto a girl with beautiful chocolate hair that was now coated in a layer of dirt and dried blood, her own blood which was flowing freely from two puncture wounds in her neck. Her once bright hazel eyes now dim and lifeless, her body stiff as small sobs shaked her form.
"Lyra" the teary-eyed girl breathed, "please don't leave" ,she took a moment to inhale before she continued her plea to no-one in particular. "Please, you cant leave me all alone. This was all my fault, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry".The dying girl, who also had tears streaming down her blood coated face, smiled up at the shifter and mouthed 'it wasn't your fault. Goodbye Crescent Arcana'. And with that she closed her eyes and her chest stopped rising. Crescent could only stare down at her dead friend as she began a soft whisper. "Lyra?" Her words began to increase in volume everytime she said that one name. "Lyra? Lyra?! LYRA!"
Now you must be wondering how we got to this point, and if you want to know the answer then we will have to start at the beginning...
