Disclaimer: I do not own the Ronin Warriors. Aya and Leena, however are my creations and I would appreciate that no one else use them without asking permission first.
A/N: Just to avoid any later confusion, I want to mention that I also have this story up on Quizilla under a different name. I opted for "Leena" when I first signed up, but sadly, it was taken. (tear drop) So just for argument's sake, "Leena" and "Zallian" are one in the same. I just want my story to be read!
Descendants of Light and Dark - Prologue
by Zallian
The metallic clank of armoured footsteps echoed through the 16th century dynasty castle hall breaking the unnatural silence that seemed to permeate the air. A row of blue flamed torches, which seemed only to cast eerie shadows on each wall and around every corner rather than light the way, lined each side of the hall breaking the otherwise plague-like darkness. A mortal man may have had trouble finding his way in such a place, but Dais, who had served this realm and its Lord for over four hundred years, had grown quite accustomed to these surroundings. To tell the truth, in his opnion, the water lily beds of the castle gounds and the eternally starlit skies of the Nether Realm may have truly been a sight to behold had it not been the home of demons and the souls of the damned.
Dais continued down the hall toward Talpa's throne room. He'd been summoned there alone which was a suprise to him cosidering his recent failures with Kento. Though this was most likely another scheme to try and capture one of the Ronin's armors or interfere with their progress, he couldn't help feeling that this new task was going to be different somehow. Like more weight rested on the completion of this one task than any of his previous endeavors, and that it would be more difficult than he could ever imagine.
From the other end of the hall, Dais could see the throne room entrance slowly coming into veiw, and continued to approach with growing anticipation. Upon entering, the giant empty throne could be seen at the end of a columned and cavernous chamber with an aisle in its center, which was lined by blue flamed candelabrums, and led from one end of the great hall to the other. When Dais had finally reached his destination, he kneeled in front of the enormous throne to await his instructions. At that moment, the air in the room became quite cold, and a wind that seemed to come from nowhere passed over him causing the flames to dance about madly and almost go out, and then the ghostly apparition of his master's head appeared in front of him.
"You know why I have summoned you." Talpa's voice boomed and echoed throughout the chamber. "As of yet, you have failed in any attempt whatsoever to make yourself useful. I have given you immortality and power beyond your wildest dreams. The least you could do is what I ask of you"
"We've done the best we can, Master, but these Ronins are not to be taken lightly. The five of them become stronger each time we do battle!"
"SILENCE! You think I don't know this! That is why I am sending you to earth to bring back a couple of 'new recruits', so to speak, one of which is my own daughter, and the other,
the daughter of that cursed monk"
"New recruits, master? If these girls truly are who you say, that would make them over 1000 years old. How is it that they have not yet died?"
"DO NOT QUESTION ME, DAIS!! ONE OF THEM ALONE HAS ENOUGH POWER TO DISINTEGRATE YOU WITHOUT THE USE OF HER ARMOR!! Which is why it is imperative that you sway both of them to join our cause!"
"Forgive me, my lord, but where and how am I supposed to find these girls?"
"They are at a place called Bay Island, Virginia in the Americas. There, you will pose as a foriegn exchange student at the local high school. You will know when you are in their presence for you will feel a change in the atmosphere around you. Befriend them and gain their trust, and once you have, bring them back here to me. And you must act quickly, for that traitor, Anubis is searching for them as well. Now go! And do NOT fail me again!"
"Yes, Master!" said Dais, and his body was engulfed in blue flame and transported away.
"Good." Tulpa growled with the throne room chamber now empty, "For if you fail me again...your suffering will be legendary!"
To be continued...
A/N: Heh heh, this is just a taste of what's coming. This is my first fic too, and I have really big plans for it, so please rate and tell me what you think.
A/N (again): Nothing new here, I'm just going through and correcting some spelling errors and type-os. Sadly, I'm not getting the kind of reviews I was hoping for though. So if your reading this for the first time, or even if you've read through it once already, please rate and review so I know whether or not to complete it.
