Summery: A chaotic player travels four years in the past and wounds up telling Nivenna about her sister Aivenna. Not believing him, she goes to the Overworld to find Aivenna and prove she is an Underworlder.

Author's Notes: I went back over the first chapter to change and add some things. I might do the same for the other chapters when I get the time to do it.


Nivenna's Quest to Find Her Sister.

Chapter One: The Past I

In the Underworld City, a young twelve-years-old creature named Nivenna was walking through the south district ( also known as the poorest district of Underworld City) to visit Ladro`n, an old friend of hers that she knew before she even meet her teacher and caregiver, Takinom.

Nivenna had the day off from training since, Takinom was on a mission in Mipedian territory and would not be coming back for a few weeks. Nivenna did not mind having no training for a few weeks, in fact, she was looking forward to it. It gave her time to visit Ladro`n and do some research in Kopond's library.

She has not told anybody about her growing interest in mugix, not even Takinom, although she probably already knows. The only reason, Kopond knows is because, Nivenna has been asking him all kinds of questions about everything mugix. Kopond has even been kind enough to let her use his library when ever she wanted to do some research on some mugic related topic. The public library in Underworld City didn't have much books on mugix and the books that they did have for mugix were meant for creatures who were novice muges. Those books had nothing in them that Nivenna didn't already know.

She couldn't go and buy more advanced books for two reasons: first, the books that she wanted cost a small fortune and it would take her months to get just enough money to buy one of those rare and valuable mugic books; second, she didn't want Takinom to know about her dream of becoming a muge and if she did buy a book that cost so much then there was no way she could not hide it from Takinom. Nivenna knows, for a fact, that Takinom keeps a close eye on her money savings, so if she spent so much in one day then Takinom was going to find out what she used that money for.

Nivenna thought she was very lucky that Kopond let her into his library. He must trust her a lot because, he even gave her a key so she didn't have to wait for him to be there to open the door. It was practically unheard of in the Underworld for someone to give their keys to another creature for them to come into their homes whenever they wanted to.

The only down side to the deal was that she has to do some work around the library for him. It was understandable, after all the world is take and give especially in the Underworld, though she did like some of the work Kopond gave her like finding a rare book in the market for him or making a very simple mugic that he was too busy to make himself.

Seeing all the poor, dirty, and unfortunate creatures around her brought back old memories. She was fortunate, an Underworld fisherman fond her in one of the underground rivers caught in one of his nets when she was a baby and took her to the only orphanage in the Underworld. She learned many things there like lying to get out of trouble or if you want something you take it.

Yes, she has many good and bad memories from when she was an orphan (well, she was still technically an orphan, since Takinom only took her as a student and not as a daughter, but sometimes, Takinom acted more like a mother than a teacher).

Thinking back to the day she meet Takinom, Nivenna could not help but to smile.


Flashback

In Fear Valley,a nine-year old Nivenna was running as fast as her little legs could carry her. Takinom and some of Chaor's guards were right behind her, and man were they angry. It was just one mugic why are they so angry at her. Sure she took it from Chaor, but still they acted like she had took all his mugix instead of one.

She was wearing black,dirty and raggedy cloths that were covered her entire body, head to toe or hooves, so that way nobody would be able to see her face. She didn't like them, but having them on for a few hours was better than having the guards know what she looked like.

"I was so close to getting out of there scott-free, how was I suppose to know there was a booby-trap there. All I wanted was a mugic, it wasn't even a rare one." She knew Fear Valley like the back of her hand so it would not be hard for her to loss them." I have to get back soon or Sazo will know I'm gone."Clutching the red mugic she steal from Chaor, she quickly turned around to face Takinom and the guards. lifting up her left hand, black smoke came pouring out of it, temporally blinding Takinom and the guards.

Nivenna took the opportunity to get away by hiding in a small hole hidden by some large rocks. Takinom used her wings to blow away the smoke, but Nivenna was no were to be seen. Thinking that the thief must have escaped she ordered the guards to go forward in pursuit of him. The guards ran off to find the thief ,but Takinom stad behind. She didn't care about caching the thief she know that the guards were more than able to to do their jobs besides the mugic was not important, Chaor was just angry that some creature dared to steal from him.

Nivanne thought she heard all of them leave so she crawled out of her hiding place only to see that Takinom one of the most powerful creatures in the Underworld was still there!

"Hiding behind some rocks, how clever, but not clever enough," Takinom flew straight at her, Nivenna was too shocked to move, all she could do was think about her short life. Takinom grabbed Nivenna by her short collar and lifted her up with one hand." Now late's see who's under the mask." Takinom used her free hand to take off the black cloth that was covering Nivenna's face.

Now it was Takinom who was shocked," You're just a child," realising that Takinom was vulnerable, Nivenna hit her with a paral-eyes attack causing Takinom to fly ten feet away from her. Since the attack was so close it knock Takinom out cold. Nivenna know she would wake up soon so she ran for home thinking about what lie she would have to say to Sazo.

Takinom woke up about five minutes later. Looking around her, the little girl was gone. No matter Takinom had a pretty good idea where she can find her.

The next day, Nivenna was cleaning all the other orphan's cloths by hand as part of her punishment for sneaking out and then lying about where she was. Sazo said that her punishment would continue untill she told him were she was at, so she would be doing this and some other chars for a while. Her arms were begging to get tired of all the scribing and she still had not even gat three-fourth the way through, at this rate it will take her three days to finish it all.

As she was thinking about what to do, a small, purple, bat like creature that was six inches taller than Nivenna came walking into the room. He had long, pointy ears, black claws on all his eight fingers, and was wearing only black pants"Nivenna, Sazo wants you to came to the front door." said the purple creature.

"Why does Sazo want me to came to the front door, Balfy?" she asked. Nivenna had no idea why Sazo would send Balfy to get her, if he wanted to talk with her then he would just came to her.

"There is someone here to see you," Balfy said with a blank face, which was always heard to read. He rarely showed any emotions. Nivenna couldn't tall if he know or didn't know what this was all about.

Who would even want to see her? All her friends were in the orphanage with her, not that she didn't know people outside the orphanage, but those creatures would not come just to see her.

Nivenna stands there for a few moments, thinking of who it could possibly be. Then Balfy said: "You better hurry or Sazo will get mad."

"Fine," Niveena put down the dirty cloths, got up and walked out the room leaving Balfy behind. When she gat to the front door Sazo was talking to someone outside, but Nivanna could not see how it was because, Sazo was blocking her view.

Sazo was a giant, white, rat creature who had solid, bright red eyes. When you look at his eyes you would think they were on fire. His mouth was full of sparkly, white, two-inch long fangs that were high-lighted by his solid black gums. Only his tong was pink. He always wears his favorite red, kimono that had a black rose on the back and black knee length shorts.

As long as Nivenna could remember, Sazo has always been like a father to her. Sazo even calls her his daughter, of course, he calls all the orphans his children. What surprises everybody is that he takes care of six thousand children from the ages newborns to teens every day with little or no help, he even knows all of them by name and all their pacific needs.

Turning his head, he saw Nivenna had arrived." Nivenna come, I believe you have already meet our guest." Sazo moved out-of-the-way to reveal a yellow creature with wings and long red hair.

"Hello Nivenna, I have been looking for you." Takinom said with a sly smile that made Nivenna's blood go cold.


The first few chapters will be about Nivenna's life and past life before she meet Takinom. So it will be some time before the chaotic player comes into the story.

Please review and tell my what you think. Any advice would be nice, since I'm a novice when it comes to writing.
