On dark misty mountain in an unknown world of living Hell, a dark figure
stood on a ridge, a sheer ridge where she watched the sunrise every
morning. She sat down and watched the beauty that was the Sun come from the
other side of the world. Her lovely gray eyes reflected the gray morning
mist. She thought herself odd for having such an easy way of finding peace
in the Hell she lived in. She smiled at the bright sun, in the bright pink
skies, then the frown returned as her mother suddenly put a hand on her
shoulder.
"Sera, you really should hurry or the Ritual of Shadows will start with
out us." Heuo, her mother said.
"I thought you of all people would understand that I don't see this right,
to collide two worlds, using a sacrifice, it isn't right of us! We are not
Gods we are but powerful people, who have the power to do this, why not
connect the two worlds?!" she yelled the entire time, not holding back her
defiance.
Heuo held her daughter in her gaze for a few minutes before dragging her
off the ridge and into the cavern that lead to the ritual area.
The cavern was open and vast in size, hardly needed for the lack of
people. Sera slowly made her way away from Heuo, so she could go and find
someone, the High Priest they called her, Donax is what she called her
self. Sera found he near the sacrifice area.
"Donax? May I ask you about the Ritual? Exactly what will happen to our
world?" Donax jumped at first then listened.
"Ah, yes. Our world will change, but only the Western and Eastern areas of
this place, and our small strip of land will stay the same, this is only
the 2nd time we've done it, in my 600 hundred year life span, but that's
because we only found out 300 years ago. Don't worry, we'll be fine." Sera
nodded in thanks and walked out, stopping only when Donax called her name,"
Oh and Sera if you do anything during the ritual it'll mess up and we might
not survive, so don't!" Sera winced at his edgy voice and quickly left.
She was found by her mother and reprimanded for leaving her, then
apologized when Sera said she had gone to see the High Priest. Sera sighed
in relief and both walked to the front row of the spectators of the Ritual.
A gleam had appeared in Sera's eyes and this meant to few everything was
going to mess up soon. She had a plan to jump into the flame to disrupt the
Ritual and perhaps help the survivors of the collision of three worlds. The
High Priest appeared and the dancers began their circular dance and a flame
appeared in the middle of the circle. The Flame grew larger and then a
sudden flash of worlds came forth, settling on two, unique worlds. The
survivors were chosen in the same manner, 100 from each planet. At this
moment, Sera hesitated, and so fell to her knees, feeling defeated by a
failed objective, she looked up and saw four unique figures at the lead of
each line.
"Those people in the lines of people..the man with blonde, spikey
hair..that woman brown hair, pink dress, green eyes...they look like what
my original parents looked like..and the people on the right look rather
strong and close." She knelt and prayed in her custom. A sudden great
rumble threw her to the ground face first, knocking her unconscious. The
last thing she remembered was a few people cursing loudly as several large
winged monsters attacked..
