Prologue
What is utopia without chaos? What is love without hate? Darkness is not without light. Evil is not without good. One needs the other in order to exist.
The golden sun rose high above and the sky was free of the lingering, lazy clouds. Winds whispered to the trees and waves kissed the awaiting shore. Many people of the Silver Moon Kingdom, if not all, were outside of their homes, enjoying the beautiful day they were given. This day will be the only few they were going to enjoy for they knew that their blissful utopia would be in chaos in the next few years, if not months. The Dark One was rumored to rise again.
A girl walked in the streets of Silva Town. Her waist-length black hair was in a high ponytail tied by a green ribbon; her ocean blue eyes shine with happiness and warmth. Her twin brother walked beside her in a protective manner. His platinum blond hair was gelled back, and his ocean blue eyes warned others not to mess with him nor with the girl beside him.
"Your majesties," called a vendor. The pair stopped and looked at him. "Would both of you like an apple?"
The girl smiled, "We would, but we haven't brought money with us."
The vendor laughed wholeheartedly. "For you both, it is free."
"Oh, we couldn't."
"I insist."
"Thank you," The girl's brother accepted the two apples and gave one to the girl.
"It is the least I could do for your family. Our kingdom have prosper and remained peaceful over the last few years under the ruling of your family. Long live the king!" The paired smiled at the vendor's words and left.
Once they were out of earshot of the vendor the girl asked, "How long do you think this peace would last, Richard?"
Richard replied, "Well judging by the condition of our enemy, I'd say a year at the latest." Richard sensed his sister's distress. "What's wrong, Ariana?"
Ariana looked at her protective brother. "I just don't see why we can't stay here and help with the war. We're skilled enough, so why are Father and Mother sending Andrew and us to another world? Why can't we help with the preparations for the war?" Overhead, saucer planes flew across the sky to and fro.
Richard sighed. "Ariana, you know we've already been through this. Father and Mother want us to take a break from all of these preparations. Besides, you know you are one of the main targets of our enemy. We need to lay low for now. And Andrew is still young."
Ariana rolled her eyes. "You should realize, Brother, that age is not a factor here. Andrew is skilled enough to help and so are we. And I can take care of myself you know."
Richard took the opening to end the conversation. He cracked a smile and ruffled his twin's hair. "I know you can."
"Hey!" Ariana shouted indignantly as she chased her brother through the streets of Shining Town.
"Hey guys!" called Ariana, spotting her friends sitting outside Her Majesty's Café.
Six people turned their head. "Hey, Ariana. Hey, Richard."
"What's up?" greeted Richard.
"So did you guys ordered yet?"
"Yes, we did," replied Simon. His father, Earl Henric, worked in the medical department training Noland, the second eldest son of King Aldric while his mother, Countess Pauline was known for her parties. Leonard dedicated his life in the medical field like his father.
"We ordered Caramel Frappuccino for you Ariana, and for Richard we got him a Mocha Macchiato," added Amelia. She blushed when Richard sat next to her. Amelia had dirty-blond hair and has hazel eyes. Her parents, Duke Kenneth and Duchess Rowena, were close friends of the King and the Queen of the kingdom. Like Leonard, she majored in the medical field as well.
Ariana raised her eyebrow at her teasingly, and Amelia turned into a brighter shade of red. Feeling generous today, she spared her friend further teasing. "How did you know that I was going to order Caramel Frappuccino and not something else?"
"Cause we know you," replied Demetrius. He had dark brown hair with green eyes. His father, Marquess Ethan, worked in the technology and engineering department of the kingdom, and his mother, Marchioness Melissa, was a well-known dancer. Demetrius hoped to grow up like his father in the future.
"I find that scary sometimes."
"About a year at a minimum," answered Richard.
"Really? That stinks," commented Cathlyn. Her father died from an illness when she was young, and her mother, Marchioness Alicia who is a fashion designer, raised her alone ever since. She loved engineering and technology and majored in it.
"Tell me about," said Ariana. "Can we change the subject? All this talk is making me depressed, and I don't like being depress." They chuckled.
"So, what is the state of your room now?" asked Lysander. His father, Duke Xavier, worked as the King's strategist and advisor. His mother died when he was only 10, so the person who had the most influenced in his life was his father. Lysander, admiring his father a lot, grew up to be like him.
"Yeah," added Cara. "Are your suitors still overflowing your room with flowers?" Her parents, Earl Vincent and Countess Cassandra, also worked as a strategist and advisor to the King along with Lysander's parents. Ever since childhood, she had been drilled with the importance of having a strategy all the time, causing her to grew up as a strategist.
"Oh, dear lords. Don't even get me started," said Ariana.
"It got to a point where we had to get Ariana a separate room," continued Richard.
For the rest of the afternoon, the ten friends talked and talked. Before they knew it, the sun was already setting. As the moon rose, it lit the building of Silva Town silver.
The next day, Ariana, Richard and Andrew stood in front of their family and friends.
"Now do you have everything you need?" her mother, Elaina, asked.
"Mother, for the tenth time today, yes I do," replied Ariana.
"Be careful alright? I don't want to lose my only daughter; it is rather hard being the only female in this family." Ariana and her mother laughed.
"Be safe alright, Sis?" said her eldest brother Arthur.
"Yeah," added Noland, the second eldest. "Our only source of entertainment would be gone if anything happens to you."
"Then it would be boring here," continued the third eldest, William.
"I'm glad to know that my brothers care so much about me," said Ariana. She then hugged her Father. "Goodbye, Father."
"I will see you in the future, my dear daughter." Her father hugged her back and turned to Richard and Andrew. "Richard, Andrew, it is now your responsibilities to protect your sister. Do you two understand?"
"Yes Father."
Their friends gathered around the three siblings, saying their goodbyes. "Bring us some souvenirs when you come back, Ariana."
Ariana laughed. "Sure thing."
The three siblings stepped into Ariana's saucer plane Dream Chaser and left for the country called Japan.
Please no flamers, only constructive criticism. This is a prologue to the KyoyaxOc story that I'm planning to write. I don't own Ouran Highschool Host Club. The characters, place and events in this prologue are the only thing that I own.
