Welcome to my Dragon Quest fanfiction- Crimson Eyes
I do not own Dragon Quest 9
Prologue- Innocent Blood
~Wormwood Creek~
A young girl ran towards the stone bridge that separated her village and the forest that hardly bared any monsters. The wind blew through her silvery white hair that was tangled with dried blood and grim; her crimson eyes glanced back fearfully as the villagers were gaining up to her. She felt dread hit her as an arrow flew past her head and landed in a dead tree that she passed; not far behind her an old man sat on a maple wood chair while his sharp green eyes followed the girls running form. A twisted smirk fell upon his face.
"Alright men, on my mark," he said as the archers beside him straightened and steadied their bows and arrows, "Now!" he yelled as over fifty arrows were released and heading straight for the running girl. A bloodcurdling scream echoed throughout the forest and village as the arrows hit their target; the old man grinned as he spoke, "Hurry, I want to see the half breed's body." His men nodded before picking up his chair and running towards the fallen girl. The man's smile got bigger and for just a second, his green eyes changed gold before turning back.
The girl's body was unrecognizable. Her body was nothing but a bloody mess, the only things to be seen was her silvery white hair, which was quickly turning red as blood pooled around her; the other thing was her beautiful crimson eyes, which were now clouded over by death. A man with dark gold hair and saddened sapphire eyes walked over to the old man, "She is gone father." he said coldly, but his father just ignored his son's icy voice, "Good my son, good." He laughed before spitting on the girl's body.
"Leave her body for the crows to peck at." the old man sneered before smiling at the villagers, "We shall have a feast to celebrate the half breed's death." he said as the villagers yelled their happiness. As the people and their leader left, the blond man dropped to his knees before he pulled the girl to his chest; tears streamed down his cheeks, "Forgive me Quinn, forgive me Sebastian," he howled in anguish before looking down at the girl in his arms, "and please forgive my sweet, sweet little niece."
The man then later buried his niece's body before, with a heavy heart, joining the feast with his wife and son.

"Such brutality on such a beautiful girl." a light feminine voice rang out. A few seconds pass, "Its decided," the voice said, happiness rang through, "You shall be the one to help this world before my father destroys it."

The silver haired girl floated in a white light before a strong hand reached out to grab hers, making her eyelids pop open revealing her crimson orb that held confusion and pain in them. A bald man stood before her with a small smile on his face. His chocolate eyes were warm with affection as his deep voice brought her comfort, "Hello little one, what is your name?"
The girl looked up at the man before a small grin curled up her lips, making the man smile bigger, "M-My name i-is Winter," she said in a bell-like voice, "What's yours mister?" she asked as the man let a small laugh. "My name is Aquila," he said, "and you little one, have great journey that lies ahead of you." With that he bent over and picked the small girl up before a pair of snow white wings burst out his back, making Winter squeak in surprise. He laughed as he took off up into the air, Winter started to giggle as they flew up into a blinding light.
