Prologue: The Fallen Star
Today seemed like any other day in Death City. It's citizens were off doing their usual thing. Students were heading off to the DWMA fro classes. It seemed like nothing was out of the ordinary except…
"He's late."
Soul's eyes glazed over. "Yeah so?"
"Professor Stein has never been this late before." Maka went as she adjusted her stack of books. "It seems strange."
"Only you would think that." Soul rolled his eyes. "Seriously if you keep worrying like that you're going to give yourself wrinkles, and premature aging is not cool."
A vein popped out of Maka's head. She took one of her books and threw it up in the air. "MAAAAKKKA CHOP!"
Soul screamed out in pain as the book crushed onto his head. His head slammed onto the desk. He put his hands to his throbbing head. "Not...cool…" He mumbled.
"Oh and insulting a girl isn't cool either." She went sarcastically as she laid one of her books and started to skim for the last page she was on.
Soul could tell she was still gravely worried.
"Maka."
She ignored him and kept skimming. "What is it Soul?"
"He's fine, Maka. Just porbley off somewhere searching for something to dissect."
She stopped her search and slammed her book shut. She turned over and gave him a warm smile which made her jade eyes glow.
"Your right. He'll come when he wants."
"Yep and landing straight on his ass." Soul said and flashed her a toothy grinned.
She laughed. The sat for a while and chatted. They stopped to watch as several students rushed in late for class. But one in particular caught their attention.
Tsubaki.
Her raven hair flew down her back. Her deep blue eyes were filled with tears. She pushed her books closer to her chest. Maka and Soul raced down and went to her side.
"Tsubaki what's the matter?" Maka wrapped an reassuring arm around her friend. Her emerald eyes flashed with concern for her friend. Soul stood off to the side. His lips in a straight line and his hands were in his pockets.
"Yeah Tsubaki what's up?"
She clenched her books tighter. Her head was hung low so she wouldn't have to look her friends in the eye.
"It's… Blackstar."
"Huh?" Soul raised an eyebrow.
"Tsubaki, what's wrong with Blackstar?" Maka asked.
"He...he..never came back home! After I finished taking my bath. I made him some dinner but...but he was gone. I searched everywhere for him. The basketball court. The school. I asked everybody I could. I even wondered if he got into another fight, but I asked his usual opponents but they said they hadn't seen him. God, I'm so worried. Where could he be?" She sobbed.
Maka patted her back as they shook with sobs. Soul quietly wondering where his friend could be. Usually he would have burst in causing a huge scene. Shouting yahoo! And claiming he was going to surpass god. Then handing everyone his autograph. So…
Where was he?
Soul sighed. This is not cool. Not cool at all.
It was raining as four figures stood over a body, which laid cold and limp. The body belonged to a young boy in his early teens. His face was beaten bloody and covered in bruises. Leaves and twigs were entangled in his turquoise hair. His clothes were wet with mud and blood that clung to his body.
His entire body was covered in dozens of strange markings.
Rain pelted the four figures, soaking their clothes. Kid stared down. Fists clenched. He bared his teeth to force back the tears. Liz held herself as tears flooded her eyes. Patty stood silently. Her face turned darker and more serious replacing her cheerful and bubbly personality. Staring down at the body caused her eyes to turn darker. His red hair dripped down onto the ground. He knelled down. Mud covered his right shoulder. He went for his arm even though he already knew. He whipped the dirt and the blood away to reveal the mark.
That the boy was given by birthright.
The mark of a lost clan.
The lone star.
Kid's anger radiating off his body. Liz's face was stained with tears. Patty took her sister's hand and squeezed. Spirit stood up. The only sound was that of the rain. Then Spirit broke the silence.
"We must notify Lord Death immediately."
