1 Prologue

()~~[~~*****~~]~~()



Wind whistled over treetops, brushing the topmost leaves ever so lightly. Silence and stillness had fallen all over Juuban as the stroke of midnight came.

The wind seemed to have a life of its own as it flew over and under obstacles, finally ending in a swirling finale atop Juuban's tallest building. And lo, where the wind swirled, a figure leaning on the cold wall on the building's rooftop appeared. Covered in shadow, it was remained still and quiet, looking at the city.

So this is the place… thought the shadow, a slight smile forming. It's not what I expected.

"Well, what did you expect?"

The shadow did not turn around to see who it was. Instead, it laughed softly and murmured, "I thought you were going to stop reading my mind."

A figure stepped into the brilliant light of the full moon. The hair pulled into a tight ponytail on her head had a great mass of shiny red curls that fell to her waist. Ice blue eyes looked over the figure in the shadows. "Why are you hiding?"

"I'm not," came the reply. "I just don't want to be seen—or sensed—earlier than necessary."

The red-haired girl said, "You won't be."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I just am."

The shadow laughed softly, "I could never win, can I?" and stepped into the light. It revealed a raven-haired girl, hair very straight and shiny and falling up to her waist, with deep emerald green eyes that looked like globes of liquid. The moonlight played upon her cream-colored skin and she smiled rather wistfully at her pretty companion. "You didn't answer my first question."

It was the redhead's turn to give a small laugh. "It was just easy this time. You didn't put up your mind block. What's the matter?" she smirked at the raven-haired girl. "Loosing your guard?"

"No," the girl shook her head and stared back out into the bright city. "Just thinking." She paused for a moment. "Is this really the place?"

"Yes," was the answer. "Have you any doubts?"

"Some. I suppose I'm just worried."

"About what?"

"I'm worried about her."

The redhead sighed. "She's fine. She can take care of herself, and she has plenty of people who can take care of her surrounding her."

The shadow turned to the girl. "But he wants her. He wants her power."

"He wants everybody's power!" snorted the redhead. "Although I do admit that her power is quite terrifying, he won't get to her. After all, he doesn't know her yet. But there is a chance that he will. That's why we're here."

The raven-haired girl sighed. There was a pause, and she asked, "Where is everybody?"

"Up here," came a new voice.

The pair looked up. On the wall that the raven-haired girl had been previously leaning on stood a boy of their age with jet-black hair and golden eyes. He smiled at the brunette. "Hello, sister."

The brunette smiled and said, "How long have you been there, brother?"

"Just arrived," replied the boy, dropping down to them. He looked at the redhead and said, "So you're here too, huh?"

The redhead made a face at him. "Why wouldn't I be? Besides, I was keeping your sister here company while you're out to goodness-knows-where."

"Fine, and for that I thank you," replied the boy sardonically. "I apologize for having wasted so much of your precious time."

"Oh shut up," snapped the redhead.

"Come on, you guys—we have to focus," said the brunette. "Where's everybody else?"

"Out scouting the area," replied her brother. "They've found as a place to stay, and we could make do with it. It's no palace, but…"

"You got us a mansion, didn't you?" the redhead grinned.

"Well…yeah," shrugged the boy.

The two girls laughed and said, "Let's go, then." And in a blast of rushing wind, the threesome instantly vanished from the rooftop.

And that is how it began.
