Maiden of Utopia
Wanderer
Thou search for Power
To relieve the times of depression
And regain the strength of Runa's Blood
But it shall not be obtained
Without the help of emerald orbs
Wanderer
Be weary of moving walls & red daggers
Keep ears open to the Mother Wind
Runa & Utopia uniting as One
Only then
Thy can enter & receive
The ultimate heart of Utopia
Books crashed on the cold, cement floor. "Damn it!" The man cursed, "Every time I feel closer in solving this prophecy, I'm the exact opposite! I try putting it together and it doesn't make sense!" He threw his hands up in frustration as he dropped into his chair.
"Don't kill yourself over it Eriol," entered a man in his late twenties.
Eriol placed his glasses on his desk and ran his hands through his hair, "Sorry, Syaoran. I can't solve it."
"Nonsense. Eriol you are the best philosopher in all of Runa. Why do you think I hired you to figure out this prophecy?" Syaoran patted Eriol's back, "I never said this was going to be easy."
"I know, thanks." Eriol nodded. He looked like he was in deep thought before he opened his mouth, "I just can't comprehend what started this depression. What do you think Syoaran?"
Syaoran thought for a bit before opening his mouth, "Maybe another prophecy put it into play?"
"What makes you say that?"
"The copy of the prophecy we have is torn at the top… maybe there was another half?"
Eriol angrily jumped to his feet, "Just what we need another prophecy that I can't figure out!" He sat down with a depressed sigh. "Do you think we will ever find the heart of Utopia? The power we need to gain order back to Runa? "
Syaoran grew distant, "We will."
"How do you know?"
"…Because our lives depend on it."
Eriol's expression grew dark. He understood.
"…And every life on Runa."

Screams echoed throughout the Ridgewood Alpines. A woman in her mid twenties was weaving herself through the tightly bounded trees and bushes. She looked behind her to see if her pursuers were still in sight. She was suddenly thrown off balance when a branch caught a nip of her cape and she tumbled down a steep hill. The woman groaned when she came to a rough stop. She forced herself to get up and keep running when she heard the shrilling shrieks.

Syaoran relaxed his hand and released the fury of the arrow into his prey. He left his post and retrieved the lifeless animal.
Food had become scarce since the prophecy was in play. Some people of his empire suffered and died from simple illnesses because of their low immune system. The rest were only thinking about when and where were they going to get their next meal.
"Yin, come here" Syaoran said softly.
A girl, no older than seven, ran towards the prince. "Yes my lord?"
Syaoran broke off the arrow and handed it to her, "Take this to your father. Tell him to skin it and cook it for an hour."
Yin's eyes glistened as she gratefully took the rabbit, "Thank you, thank you, thank you my lord!"
He smiled and patted her head, "If you go pass the kitchen they might give you a couple of potatoes to bring home. Now hurry before the meat goes bad."
Yin nodded and eagerly left to her home to share her new treasure. When she was almost out of Syaoran's sight she looked back and waved, "Thank you!"
Syaoran waved back. When she was out of sight a sad smile appeared on his face. Yin is only one of the thousand families starving.
