Chapter 1 : I Have To!!
A little girl ran up to her brother, panting. "Woah! You're really fast! I wish I could be just like you!" * Awww… How kawaii!!!! *
"It's only because I'm 10 & you're 7." Van's 18 year old best friend, Mekia, came running down the wooded path.
"Van! Asenia! Come quickly!" he panted. "Mekia, what is it?" "What's wrong?" "It's
your mother. She's trying to fly off."
"Oh no! She can't!" screamed Van. Asenia started to cry.
"The doctors said she might try this!" she muttered under her breath. "Van! She's going to look for Folken! We have to stop her!" But Van didn't hear her. He was already running towards the castle.
"I have to stop her!" he thought. Asenia knew he'd never make it in time. She didn't want to, but she knew she had to. Ever since Folken's disappearance, her mother had been delusional. She thought Folken was Van. Or even Daddy! Asenia had been left behind. * Don't U feel so sorry for her? * She took a deep breath & concentrated. She had to get her mother back.
Even though she was only 7, she was a strong flyer. She felt a rush as her wings carried her into the air. Knowing she didn't have much time, she began to fly upward. The feeling was amazing. Then, she saw her mother. Varie was standing on the highest tower of the Fanalian castle, wings spread wide. Asenia yelled to her mother, begging her to stop. Varie just turned around & looked at her. No words were spoken. "I'll be OK. Don't worry. Folken needs me." "Mommy!!! NO!!!!" But Asenia was too late. Varie flew off, floating over Fanalia. Asenia tried to go after her mother. She was just too weak. She fell unconscious on the tower. She lied there, sobbing. Somewhere inside of her, a voice spoke out. "You weakling! She's your mother! Everyone will blame you!"
"NO!!! I tried!" Then, she felt arms around her. It was Van. Mekia was talking. "Take her to Kiran. She'll know how to calm her down."
"NO! We have to go after her! Everyone will blame me! I tried! I really did. Its
not my fault!!"
"Mekia… what am I supposed to do with her she's really upset."
"We all are. Asenia, can you hear me?"
"Yes."
"We can't go after her. We're not strong enough. Besides, she has to do this. She blames
herself for Folken's death." The only reply was a low moan, accompanied by a bunch of sobs.
~* In Van's Room *~
Mekia was wise for his age. He knew that Van would get through this. He just didn't know how. Mekia was very tall for his age. (Almost as tall as Balgus.) He had dark, wavy brown
–almost black- short cut hair. He wasn't muscular, but you could tell he was very strong. He had deep, sapphire blue eyes. His chiseled features told people that he was wise, stubborn, and intelligent. But that wasn't how he felt standing there, looking at his little friend. "Mekia, what am I supposed to do? Mommy and Daddy are gone! I can't be a king. I'm only 10!"
"Balgus and I will help you. You'll learn to spar, and you'll battle in the name of Fanalia. You'll never forget what's happened, but maybe you can heal from it."
"O please! You know I hate to fight. I also hate death. The thought of battle terrifies me."
"You'll get over it. & when you're of age, you'll become king."
"What if I don't want 2 become king?" Van asked meekly.
"Don't say that!"
"Why not? You know it's true!!!"
"If you don't become king, you'll disgrace your father. Is that what you want? To
disgrace the Fanel name?"
"No…Of course not."
"Well then. Stop this idiocy. I'll go talk to Balgus. You need to start training immediately." Van started to cry as soon as Mekia was out of earshot. As Mekia walked down the hall, he became angry. "Varie, why did you have to leave? Folken may be gone, but you still have to children who need you! Maybe everyone is right. You & your kind are cursed!!!"
