The Child from the Sea

This story began at the creation of the Planet's WEAPONs. Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond and Ultimate were Gaia's last line of defence should a great danger befallen on the Planet; Jade was meant to be awaken should the One who will Burn the World be summoned; Omega was destined to bring Gaia to the stars when it reached its end; Minerva was the goddess who chose Gaia's Champion and warriors and overlooked the Lifestream; Chaos, the demon created through Omega, was a harvester of souls for the journey towards the endless space and ruler of the dark and tainted Lifestream within the Planet's pulse.

Though all these WEAPONs were recorded and remembered by the Ancients, all of them except for one...

A lone WEAPON that was forgotten... The WEAPON was known by the name Crystallus or the Crystal WEAPON, it was created by Gaia to be the Guardian of all life on the Planet, their healer and teacher.

Crystallus was respected and loved by the children, Ancient and Human, and it had brought great joy to everyone. The WEAPON loved these children so much, that it had cast away the armours, the weapon and the mask that Gaia had given to it at its birth and walked among them as a loving, powerful and wise woman.

Alas, the happiness it brought ended abruptly when a being crash-landed on Gaia, though deeply wounded by the meteor that had struck it, the Planet remained strong and with Crystallus, the children remained unharmed. After the dust settled, Crystallus saw something moved among the rubbles of meteor. One of the children, curious and worried, moved to see what the being was, but Crystallus never would have imagined that the act of compassion of this child would result the death of many of its beloved children.

The being, which was later known as Calamity of the Sky, took control of human's body and set out to destroy everything that Gaia had created. The Ancients' race was quickly endangered by this alien creature. Though many grew to hate the face the Calamity wore and wished to kill this being with their own bare hands, but none of them were able to hear the anguish and painful cries of the child trapped inside its own body. No one hear them, not even Gaia, except the Crystal WEAPON.

Crystallus couldn't bear to kill the child or to let the monster tortured the youngling's soul anymore, made the greatest sacrifice, it offered the Calamity its body as a host. The monster, which had learned through the memories of the child of what a WEAPON of the Planet was capable of, accepted the offer and released the human and took over Crystallus' body, causing its body to change beyond recognition.

The Calamity of the Sky thought that its victory over the Planet was at hand, but instead of victory, it was its downfall that it had acquired. Crystallus used its body as a bait to lure it into a trap, so that the remaining Ancients could combine their power and seal the monster away.

Now without a body to maintain its existence, Crystallus was ready to be reabsorbed by Gaia for failing to protect its children, but Minerva came to its aid. The warrior goddess took Crystallus to where Chaos slumbered deep inside the crystal that lay within a dark moist caver and sealed the Crystal WEAPON with Omega's squire where both of them would remained bodiless until it was their time to be reawaken.

Years and years passed away as the two entities slept through time, their soul touched one and other, like two twins in a mother's womb. However their slumber was interrupted by the arrival of two humans, who took Chaos away from its resting place and had accidentally release Crystallus into the flowing stream that had developed in the cave which led the entity to the ocean.

After flowing deep under the ocean floor for an unknown among of time, Crystallus' power slowly gathered whatever memories the WEAPON held to rebuild a body to host the soul of the entity. It took two decades for its power to successfully create the body of that of a 12-year-old girl.

Crystallus' aimless drifting came to a stop by a fisherwoman who harvested pearls as a living saw the glowing green light that the small body was emanating. The fisherwoman at first thought it was a buried treasure of the sea, but instead it was a child she found.

The young woman believed that this child was perhaps a reincarnation of the great serpent Leviathan that her people worshiped or maybe Leviathan's own child! She carefully took the small child back to the surface where the Crystal WEAPON took its very first breath as a real human being.


The fisherwoman brought the girl back to her small house, the glow on the body had already fade when they had left the water, so no one around the small village noticed the woman and the child in her arms.

The young woman was a lonely person in the village for none of the villagers thought it was appropriated for a woman to go pearl-diving, hunting wild animals and fighting bandits. She preferred to be able to protect everyone than be protected by men who immediately got afraid when they saw their enemies. She wanted people to know that fact so much that she had even changed her name from Miyo which meant beautiful child to Ichigo, the one who protects.

Looking down at the child she carefully placed on her bed, she tried to think of a great name for this little girl, a name that represented something special. She thought about naming her Umiko, meaning child of the sea, but it was a little saddening, it was like a reminder for the child to remember she was an orphan found in the sea. No, it had to be something else.

After a while of deep thinking, the woman decided to name this child as Yuuko, which meant evening child, because she found her at night. If she broke the name apart, Yuu vaguely meant mysterious and Ko for child which fit with the girl who was a very big mystery to her and probably the entire planet.

So afterward, Crystallus was known only as Yuuko, a mysterious child who came from the ocean. Her existence would later affect many people's destiny.


I really don't know where this story might be going, but I am still trying to make it worth a while at least. So I hope anyone who read this story could tell what they think. Reviews are greatly appreciated as always.
