Prologue
2 years earlier:
"I'm going out for a little while!" Aerith cried to the teens and children playing in the church. "Grandet! I'm leaving you in charge okay!" The oldest among them of 18 years old nodded. "Why does she always put Grandet in charge!" Dephnia whined. "Felicis! You should tell your sister that I'm definitely more suited to be in charge than Grandet is!"
Felicis Gainsborough laughed. "Well Grandet is the oldest after all. Say, how about we play a game!" She smiled.
Zaneit stared at Felicis with a smile on his face, "oh? And what game would that be?"
"I know what game you want to play with Felicis, but you two love birds don't get to do anything like that in front of little Atricus here," Merule snapped patting the small 10 year old gray haired girl on the head.
"Let's play SOLDIER then!" Felicis cried.
"You really want to be in SOLDIER that badly Felicis?" Aurale asked.
"Of course!" Felicis cried.
"I don't know. People in SOLDIER get hurt don't they?" Zaneit thought worriedly.
"Let's just play!" Felicis said.
And so that day began. There were 18 kids in the church that day. All best of friends. They were two different groups though, nine each group. Separated in to the Emotions and the Elements, warriors. They were warriors of different groups. Among the Elements were Felicis Gainsborough, Aurale Fachette, the twin brothers Larch and Let Ravine, the sisters Merule and Serae Engel, the brothers Varst and Rael Thefter, and Xantus Caepher who's had a little sister in the Emotions. Among the emotions there was, Xantus's younger sister who was also the youngest out of them all Atricus, then there was the sister Thearin and Dephnia Sephlit, Argon Thantus, Atsic Maticus, Grandet Fletcher, Melstone Katren, Frausic Van-Galheim, and last but not least Zaneit Roht.
These teens and children had never faced any amount of hardship in their life, even their living in the slums and being orphans never had one shed a tear. The reason of this was one person, Felicis Gainsborough. They would follow her to the ends of the earth and the depths of hell if she asked it. Her kind heart fell upon all of them. Felicis and her sister Aerith lived in the church at the end of the slums. No matter the age the church had not one crack. It was a perfect and suitable place to live.
At the same time every day Felicis would bid farewell to her friends and welcome her sister home. It was the same every day.
"Bye Felicis!" The kids cried. Zaneit stood by her and leaned in to kiss the girl he loved. "C'mon Zaneit!" Dephnia slapped Zaneit on the back shocking him so much that he had almost slipped and fallen to the floor. The both of them red faced laughed and he ran to the rest of the group. Smiling as bright as ever Felicis waved to them and returning the smile they waved back. But above her waving that's when they saw the planes in the sky. The huge warships overhead. It was armed with bombs and missiles of all kinds. They never did expect it to drop those horrid missiles on the church until it did. Zaneit cried out and ran back towards the church in an attempt to maybe save Felicis, but it was too late. Felicis seeing their horrified faces took one look behind her and she was enveloped in fire and light. The sky warrior of the Elements was gone.
The old church's top was crushed to the ground and the fire still burned evilly over the top. Horrified, the kids ran over to the screaming and cursing stumbling over their own feet. Zaneit rushed to the very entrance of the collapsed church where Felicis once stood. He clawed at the rubble and tried to move the heavy rocks as best he could. "Help me dammit!" he screamed at his friends, and they did.
After hours and hours of moving the heavy rubble they realized that their efforts were all in vain, for they had moved every single trace of stone from the inside of the church and found nothing but her bracelet. Not a body, not a trace of bone, not even ashes. Felicis Gainsborough had was gone. And they had nothing but a bracelet to prove that she had ever existed in that wretched world.
