Hello everyone~!
First off: I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year~! ((yay, yay, woo, cheer))
As you can tell, this is my new Vocaloid project. I have nearly finished the first story (which is this one) and will start with the second story (the second song) when this is over, so that I can upload at a constant time. My plan is to upload once every fortnight, so every second Monday (since that is the day today).
I have also created a facebook page which I will be using to keep you, my readers, up to date on what I am doing. If there is a delay in anything, that would be the place the check. I also have a favour to ask you all:
As you know, I change the name of Vocaloid characters depending on the song. For Synchronicity, I am doing that.
I have got the names for the characters that appear in the first song, but the second song characters have NO NAMES.
That's where you, the readers, come it:
Bellow is the list of characters without names. I will let you guys help me decide on their names so that when the second story starts, they can be called something instead of 'random A' or 'random B' while I think of a name for them.
The characters are:
KAITO
Gakupo Kamui
Luka Megurine
Gumi
Ruko Yokune
Send me your suggestions on the facebook page and, if I choose your name, when they appear in my story, I will thank you.
Anyway, enough rambling, it's time to start this story! Are you guys ready for this? I know I am!

Chapter 1 –
It is said, in the cursed land of Levi So, there is a great and power dragon that plagues the lands, would ravage the land if not tamed and looked after by a chosen soul every fifteen years. A child, chosen at random from any home in the land, would be taken away from their family and taken to the dragons cavern. The child would be raised by the protector of the cavern, a necromancer whose sins weighed down greatly upon her as she is bound to the land of the living for all eternity. She raises the child to sing and dance for the great dragon so that the land may continue to live in peace.
Fifteen years ago…
Destiny performs for the dragon, feeling her life draining from her, before the final bell rings. She slumps to the floor, exhausted, as the dragon slumbers for the night. She smiles before crouching over, convoluting as blood pours out of her mouth and onto her black dress.
She smiles, looking up at the empty sky above her to see the moon shining high above the clouds. She wonders to herself, her pink twirls bobbing as she staggers to her feet, if Cassandra was alright, if she was well and living the fate she had chosen.
Not all were so lucky, as she knew all too well, as she stumbles though the cavern for the exit that lay just beyond her grasp. Her path is blocked by the necromancer who guarded the entrance to the dragons cavern, and guarded the dragon in turn.
Destiny looks up at her, a little startled that her path was blocked by the age old woman, as she watches the woman walk by, not even exchanging a single word with her. The only time the young woman had heard the necromancer speak was when they first met.
The green haired necromancer was introduced to her as 'Crow', the only living survivor of the legendary battle at Stone Mere, the ancient city were Levi So now resides. Destiny stood meekly before the ancient woman, wondering what sin she had committed to give her eternal life among the living, when Crow smiled, menacingly. Her eyes were hidden behind the silver mask she always wore as her dark gown flowed behind her. She had given Destiny only one glance before saying "Sing forever" and leaving Destiny alone in the sombre cavern.
She had told Cassandra that day that she had been chosen to be the new Dragon Dancer, to which the woman turned away. Destiny silently prayed that night that her childhood friend would never receive a fate that she did not choose.
She walks back into the dragons cave, sitting down under the moonlight, as she begins to chart the stars again. It had become a past time hobby for the young woman as she waited for dawn to come. She bends over again as blood pours of her mouth before she looses consciousness and falls to the ground.
In an isolated village, a fair days travel away from the capital city of Levi So, a woman watches over her newborn children, twins of bright yellow hair and blue eyes that warmed her heart and reminded her of the sea on a warm summers day. She had been born and raised on the coast, and had only left the seaside when she had met her husband, who had gone off to fight in the war. She had not heard news in weeks about him, or any of the other men, and had begun to worry about his safety when she had given birth.
Now her time was occupied with looking after the twins; feeding, bathing, clothing and changing; it was enough to keep her mind elsewhere while the war ragged on.
She had just placed the two down for a nap when a knocking could be heard from her house door. Frowning, for she rarely got any visitors, she opens the door to reveal royal guards from the capital city, Parados.
"May I help you?" She had asked when one of them revealed to her a signed notice as another barged into her home. She watched the man as he stalked towards her two children before something in her mind clicked and the reasoning for their arrival couldn't be more obvious.
"Those are my children!" She cried. "You can't just barge into someone's home. I demand you leave at once."
"Foolish wench!" The man holding her declared. "What do you think we'll do if you keep prattling on?"
"I demand you leave!" She called again. "My husband will come home and know what you have done this day, mark my words on that. I will not rest until justice is found."
"Stupid woman!" One of the men laughed. "She believes the men from the war will return!" He leered at her as she is struck for words. "Let me place your mind at ease." He leaned in close; his breath reeked of metal and blood, as he grinned down at her cowering figure. "Those men sent out to the war were nothing but decoys. We just used them to distract the enemy long enough for us to counter with a force great enough to win victory. All the men who were sent out to the battle field all perished. None survived." He laughed at her stunned face as she began to shake with rage.
She yelled, and fought, and struggled against the guards who had taken a hold of her as the man reached out for one of her children. She screamed even louder as he picked up the child and, as quickly as they arrived, left her alone with one crying infant on the bed.
She ran towards the bed, trying to sooth the wailing baby, as her own tears fell freely from her eyes.
