Haunting past
xx- As the light sky
This is the story of a lost love, a broken heart and a haunting past…
Long ago he met that person, who loved him unconditionally and gave even his life. His heart was broken, but he had no regrets. If he was happy, then it was worth. Life does not always give us what we want even if we want to have that person next to us we can not force them.
My love for you will be unattainable as the rays of light…
Long ago it was said that the world was divided: heaven and hell, light and darkness, water and fire. Worlds could not gather yet both needed the other to survive. In said worlds were entirely different beings to the eyes both creatures could be perceived as humans. However the nature of both was what distinguished them. The children of darkness lived in a world full of passion, blood and betrayal. They craved power and always got what they wanted. Yet with the shortcomings of his race they lived in peace oblivious to the problems of others. They were advanced creatures and beautiful yes, but lonely. Only once in life they bonded to another person. This union was eternal and that could not be broken. Therefore they were careful when it comes to form a bond, the bond would exist and would be unwavering as eternal as their immortal life. The person who was tied was cherished and if one of them died the other could not be able to accompany it. His fate would be to remain alone for the rest of their life immortal and perhaps in a future they could reunite with said person. It was a tragic fate for those children of the dark, tragic yet beautiful. Loneliness and eternal love was something characteristic of his race. While it seemed sad it was not, the children of darkness seemed to accept his fate and were careless of what lay ahead. They embraced loneliness as their friend and rejoiced when they found their eternal one. His immortal life allowed them to learn from mistakes, made them wise and knowledgeable.
Beautiful and solitary creatures in search of eternal love ...
Unlike their brothers, the children of light were not immortal. They could live for several years but after some time they would perish and turned into sunlight.
So bright and unattainable…
They lived in small towns. They were celestial beings, worshiped arts and had such a carefree attitude. Their bodies were filled of light and warmth. Even though they were mortal they could reincarnate. Yes these children were so beautiful, so peaceful and quiet. They had several companions throughout their life but unlike those of the darkness, the sons of light were not allowed to love. That sentiment was forbidden for them because such feeling brought pain and death with it. The light could not allow their beloved had knowledge of said feelings. Tears and pain were things totally unknown to those of light.
And for many years things went well in both worlds, those of the darkness were sure that there were others almost like them but they were unattainable. And the light beings were completely unaware of the existence of the dark's ones. Thus it should be, and had been from the beginning though...
The kingdom of darkness was ruled by kings, a long tradition of the purest ones such beautiful beings they were even more beautiful than the average children of the dark. The kings were known as the Kuran. Such clan was known for their strength and they were very powerful and had many followers, for that reason they had become the rulers. However a tragedy happened in the royal family: the beautiful rulers had died leaving their only son, a boy of only five years as the sole heir and ruler.
The tragedy spread throughout the kingdom and began the riots, many people wanted to gain power. Many of them want the last of the Kuran dead. Despite the young age the child was able to control the protests. He was a true child prodigy and why not dare to say it: he was the hope for the darkness.
Kaname Kuran, child of the darkness. He was known for his great wisdom, fierceness and able to unify the kingdom and for being able to control his thirst for power. Twelve years had passed and Kaname had left behind his child's body he was becoming a handsome prince. Yes, he was still a prince because the darkness laws dictated if the king died, his son the Prince would be recognized as the new king at the age of age of 21.
However the people and recognized him as their new and sole king. They were only waiting for their prince to find their eternal one. It did not matter if the king's mate was male or female. Both men and women were able to produce, that was one of the most remarkable characteristics of the darkness child's. Such a beautiful and unique way of living, there was not prejudice against same-sex couples. The eternal bond established it.
The prince had decided to go hunting, his faithful servants with him and with him a wolf, his faithful companion.
"Kaname-sama, your carriage awaits" said his loyal servant and dare to say friend, Takuma of the Ichijou house.
Burgundy eyes looked at his faithful companion and with a slight nod he hurried out of the room. His servant followed the prince closing the royal chamber behind him.
"We are expecting to have great day" remarked the servant again while the wolf settled itself in the carriage. Kaname sighed and allowed his body to enter the car. Takuma followed him behind once again before beckoning the driver to advance. In front of the royal carriage were two more cars and another two were set behind. Hunting dogs accompanied the carriages barking occasionally excited for the hunt.
XxX-
Unlike the kingdom of darkness, the sons of light had no rulers. There were certain men who were known as the wise ones, they were responsible for guiding the younger population. And with each city there was a wise one instructing the young ones in all the arts. Children also had certain tasks.
In a certain town lived a boy of just 15. He was such a beautiful and innocent creature. He was perfection, his body was endowed by great agility and dexterity for dancing and fighting arts however his voice was what stood out and so his unique looks. The children of the light were either platinum blonde or redheads. But this guy had silver hair and his eyes even thought they were lighter in color yet differed from the others. The boy's eyes were amethyst one such a gem. A unique beauty was appreciated by others and the boy very treasured. He was regarded as the most perfect being created by light and therefore was cherished. He was their most beloved son. His father was a very cold man with other people but adored his son. He and her other two children were the only remaining of his partner who had died giving birth to their only daughter. Zero however was the only one who had inherited those special looks and also the one who resembled his mother the most.
"I'll go for a ride" He said while preparing his white horse and its rider. He had finished his lessons and wanted to get some rest. And also he was very curious of what peeked through the mountains. Light rays were calling him. And curiosity had always been one of Zero's weaknesses. His father had warned him and his siblings that it was very dangerous to approach that place because strange creatures were living inside the mountain, awful and terrible creatures that fed on the children of the light. But Zero did not believe in it thinking that those were children's stories just to scare the younger ones.
He had to go to the mountain. He wanted to see the inside and find out why was attracted to it. He wanted to know such an intriguing place and internally wanted to know if such creatures existed.
So he galloped for several minutes until he ran into that place. He felt a shiver run down his body, as if something was warning him to stay away from this place. But curiosity was stronger
"I have to enter" Zero said to himself "such an intriguing place ..."
He dismounted and let his horse to rest for a while. Zero knew his horse would wait for him so he did not have to worry if he let the horse alone. Then he turned back into the aperture on the rock and again looked back he had a feeling that he was being watched, as if someone was going to discover what he was about to do. Nevertheless that feeling quickly disappeared and Zero decided to enter in the cave.
Nothing, the place was completely empty, it was a total waste said silver-haired boy. Yet he was already in so why not sitting around and sing that melody that kept playing in his head.
You are as warm as the sun,
pale fingers mixed in air
and you wait
the warmth that you can not miss.
is mixed with sunlight
no more cold
feeling
the light inside of you
The carriages moved at great speed and the dogs were getting more and more excited they did not stop barking. Suddenly a glow rose causing exalting the horses and making the riders to lose the total control of their carriages. There was a horrific outburst and some horses ran as dogs following behind them. The prince had fallen through the bottom of the mountain.
"Kaname-sama!" Cried his faithful servant as his loyal wolf was trying to follow and protected his master however the poor animal was stuck between the wheels of the carriage.
Crash!
Kaname felt his body rushing against something solid and then a big flash followed by a heavenly voice. Never before had he seen such a glow, it was so strong that blinded his eyes. Usually the kingdom of darkness, as the name said it, lacked light. So the locals were not used to the light. Their pale bodies were not fit to withstand such intensity and sometimes even the slight ray of light was able to burn their bodies. For several minutes all was silent, the minutes turned into hours. Zero heard the sound of something falling against the rock. His curiosity was present again.
Zero knew that if was entered deep into the cave the exit opportunities would be scarce. Something could happen, he could get lost or worst. Maybe his father was right and there were horrible creatures living inside.
I want to see it…
However those thoughts did not stopped him. He rose from his place ant went deep. He was grateful that light was still there. Every evening the light went down and the dark appeared in the night sky. Though there was some light as the stars seemed to protect them Zero hated the darkness. It scared him.
He was afraid to be in a world absent of light. Light was as air, so vital to their race. And as he thought about that he walked through the narrow passages enlightened by small beams of light.
He felt something inside him began to accelerate Zero could not explain it and suddenly the image of his mother came to his mind.
"Zero-rin my beautiful child…" His mother was holding him tightly. There was something strange in her mother's eyes. Something shiny like water drops. Why there were drops of water in his mother's eyes? Why her eyes were filled with something strange? Her eyes held something new, something strange…
"My poor child…" Her mother whispered as cradling the child's body. Zero could not understand why his mother looked at him that way. Why her eyes looked so empty and why the raindrops stained her cheeks?
"Mama…" the little boy whispered
"Never again…" His mother said and closed her eyes "the haunting memory of my past…"
What was that? A memory perhaps… Zero did not remember such a thing happening to him when his mother was still alive. Maybe it was a memory but he was so young that he had forgotten about it. His mother seemed so strange as if something was happening to her, something that he could not explained.
"The Prince" said the guards "the prince has fallen into the mountain"
Takuma shocked his head. He knew his prince could not be dead or that was what he was telling himself to. They could not lose their prince, he could not die. Kaname was the last survivor of the Kurans. He was their rightful Prince and future king. With the prince death it would trigger a war, a war that no one wanted to happen. They needed to find the prince and they needed him alive.
"Let's search for the prince!" Takuma said at the guards and they nodded. They were just as nervous as Takuma.
Xx—
What is this?
Such a cold place…
It was very cold, the place was lit by the light and yet it was still frozen. Zero went closer to the camera and found something there was a lump. He walked two steps more and realized that the lump was a creature. It was someone like him just the same but different.
Pale skin ...
"It's a man…" He whispered to himself and knelt. The boy was mesmerized by the young man's looks. He had never seen such strange features: dark hair and his skin it was pale. He wanted to touch that skin. He was mesmerized by the creature whose eyes were closed. Bringing his hand to the young man's face Zero let his fingers wander through the cheek of the creature "Is so cold" he was surprised by how cold it was the man's skin "He's beau…"
Once again he began to feel his interior accelerating. It was like something hitting inside threatening to leave.
A sensation he had never had. That was multiplied when he once again began to stroke the face of that creature. His fingers outlined the man's lips.
"Nghh ..." The man moaned as he slowly opened his eyes.
"They are dark as his hair ..." Zero sighed, this creature was beautiful, more beautiful than the beings who lived in his village.
"The prince… let's search for the prince…"
Zero heard another voices and freaked out "Prince…" he said as he ran to hide behind one big rock.
Shaken and scared Zero waited behind the rock, his hand went to his chest and again felt that something hitting from the inside.
"There's a body…" A female voice whispered. Zero moved his head slightly upward to observe easily. He was a woman with purple hair and dark reddish eyes. "Sara-sama there's a body in here"
The woman said again, this time calling for another person. Suddenly a woman with dark blond hair appeared. She was beautiful, just as beautiful as the man lying on the floor. Her eyes were a bluish violet tone and her skin was as pale as the young man. She was dressed in fancy clothes, a diamond tiara adorning her head and so her clothes.
She knelt on the floor and her eyes widened at the discovery of who was the person on the floor. "He is the prince..." She whispered as she caressed the face of the prince.
Her long pale finger made contact with the skin causing the prince to open his eyes again. Chocolate eyes meet bluish violet ones and the prince stared at the girl briefly before falling unconscious one more time.
"Seiren help me" The girl called to her loyal servant and guardian "it's the prince we need to get him out of here" the woman with purple haired nodded as she called another two girls. The three of them carried the body's prince and left the chamber.
"Wait…" Zero whispered but no one hear him
Don't go…
Prince ….
Without even trying nor imagine what had just happened. Zero was not aware of the danger this represented. The most precious son of the light made something that had never happened before...
Children of the light were banned to fall in love
The sorrow…
The emptiness…
The loneliness….
Zero did not understand why but then he began to feel a void. He had to see, no he wanted to see the "Prince" something inside urged him to be near the prince. He wanted to be by his hide fore…
Prince was such an intriguing creature. It felt so strong Zero could not help it. He looked at his hands, those with which he had been able to feel the skin of the prince. Instantly and inadvertently took them to his lips. That was when he noticed that he was trembling and his skin was cold as well.
As the light goes down you'll find me just search for me…
My haunting past…
Hi! I know I'm starting another story but… you have to understand I really needed to write this one. You see I was watching the little mermaid the Russian animated film and then the 1976 film and well I fell in love with it. I love Andersen's tales and the little mermaid is so beautiful yet so sad (yes I love sad endings xD) so I say why not made a fanfic inspired by this beautiful tale. And when I finished to watched the movie (you guys had to see it it's fantastic and the prince is so hot xD just search Rusalochka (The Little Mermaid) English Subtitles 1/6 on YouTube) I was like grrr the prince needs to suffer a little and the I don't know why but I just imagined Kaname as the prince and zerorin as the little mermaid n.n.
So as you see Zero is not a mermaid (I just can't imagine him with a mermaid tail hehe I know I said I imagined as the little mermaid but just the situation not him being a mermaid) he's a child of the light. You see I did not want him to be a hunter (cause I'll use this for the following chapters) and he's not a human so well nope he's not an angel hehe let's say the world before the vk night world began was ruled by bothe the darkness and light XD Kaname well yeah he's a vampire but that's not the name used on the past vampires called themselves the darkness child's. Yes Takuma, Sara and Seiren appeared in the first chapter however I must say it was not yuki neither ichiru zero's siblings. As you see Zero is the only one in both the darkness and light kingdoms with such a unique looks. Lol Zero-rin thinks Kaname's name is Prince xD Well I hope you really enjoy this XD
xoxo
