Prologue – A giant of Light

A vast, ever expanding darkness sprawling into the infinite, broken only by the eternal shine of the stars and the clash of two Titans, brawling into the ether.

One, a Warrior of Light, clad in blue, red and silver.

The other, a beast of darkness, crimson eyes devoid of anything but ill intent.

In this silent realm there was no way to know for how long had they fought, but it was becoming clear that this battle would soon draw to an end.

The dark beast opened his jaws lashing out an energy beam with the intent of finishing his adversary, but the light giant swiftly dodged and countered with an energy disc of his own which landed on his opponent, yet it remained unscathed.

As they both prepared for another clash, the silver giant suddenly hesitated as a ring of light on his chest changed from blue to red. Seemingly heeding this as a warning, the giant stopped for a moment as his body was enveloped by a bright light that, once dissipated, revealed a new body; now covered in black, red and silver while wielding a massive blade, the giant prepared for one final attack.

The monster, however, was determined to best its opponent, even if that meant taking it down with him, so as the light warrior used his blade to focus his own energy the beast charged against him, taking the giant by surprise, and unleashed his power in an attempt finish him. Not to be out done, the giant also released the power of his blade, a dangerous move considering how close they were, and the resulting collision of power was enough to knock back both of them.

The battle had reached a stalemate, but as the bodies of the two titans lingered in the cosmos, the giant's blade drifted through space, heading towards a blue planet.


"Haruka-chan."

She knew that voice.

"Haruka-chan!"

Someone was calling her name.

"Haruka-chan, wake up!"

Waking up, Haruka opened her eyes, shot up right, and tried to take in her surroundings.

She was now sitting on her bed, wearing her usual pajamas. She could see her desk to her right, her recently finished homework still on it, and further away the only window on her shared dorm room.

Speaking of, the other inhabitant of this room was standing next to her bed, a slightly worried look on her face, waiting for her to finally react.

"Yui-chan, good morning!" she said, perky as ever.

Nanase Yui, her best friend, confidant and roommate ever since she entered Noble Academy. Even now, on her last year in the prestigious school, they were still inseparable.

"Are you feeling alright, Haruka-chan?" Yui asked, a tint of worry on her tone.

Haruka looked at her, with lightly puzzled look on her face "Why wouldn't I feel alright?"

Yui contemplated her friend for a moment, trying to pick the best words "You seemed… restless in your sleep. I was a little worried."

"I am fine, Yui-chan." She said, cheerfully "I just had a weird dream, that's all."

"A dream?" she questioned, with some relief "What kind of dream?"

"Nothing much. I was just dreaming about… about…"

Odd.

She had just woken up and it had been quite a livid dream, yet the memory of it seemed to have escaped her already. There was one image in particular still etched into her consciousness though.

"Haruka-chan?"

"A giant."

"You were dreaming about giant?"

She nodded.

"Yes, a giant… of light."
