Never Had A Dream Come True
Prologue
By Kiela Stargaze
The wind rustled throughout the trees, making the leaves fall brown on the ground. A girl no older than fifteen walked through the park. She was alone, cold, hungry, no memories of what her past was or what her future was planned for her. She could only think of what was now and now was here. She wondered through the park, trying to figure out where she was and who she was. Trying to figure out where she came from. All these things ran through her head as she walked down a lonely place.
Who am I? What am I doing here and where is here? I wanna know who I am! She cried in her mind.
She was damp to the bone with only a large T-shirt on and blue-jean shorts. She sat down on a bench and lay down. She went to sleep very fast, not knowing a bright red light swarmed around her. She was gone in an instant.
The young girl opened her green eyes to be greeted with a bright light that only blinded her for a little bit. "Where am I?" asked the girl with a hoarse voice.
"You are in the Realm of the Ancient Clan. I am known as Ancient." A man's voice answered. It was comforting and really filled with hospitality. She looked at the man that stood before her. She stood up in an instant and looked at the man up and down. He had on a dark blue and white kimono with a golden staff in his right hand. A hat that looked yellowish brown covered his eyes. His white hair flew through the winds. He had a warm smile on his mouth that made the girl happy inside.
"Wh-who are you? Actually who am I?" She asked in a quiet voice. She expected him not to hear her but he did.
"I am known as the Ancient. That is all that I am to expose right now about myself. You will know who I am in that near future. But to answer your question, I cannot give out your true name for some evil lurks about for you." The Ancient explained, "You are now to be called Novalee Kyoshi. Your destiny will uphold in the next battle with the dynasty. I am to give you this armor called SunFlame. This is your orb of Truth. Use it and protect the mortal world with your life. Do not let anybody take it for it is for good and only should it be used for good."
"What do you mean by my armor?" asked Novalee.
As of an answer to her question a red light flared on her head and an orb of some kind appeared in her right hand. It was written Japanese, which read 'Truth'.
"Now, close your eyes and do not think of anything but the power of the orb that you have in you hand and think of the energy to surround you." The Ancient said.
Novalee did just that and concentrated on the power she felt within the orb in her hand. She felt the energy surround her.
"Now open your eyes." Novalee opened her eyes and gasped at the sight that was on her.
"This is really weird!" She said awed. On her, covering her from neck to toe, was a sub-armor of some kind. It was red with silver linings.
"Only the first time it's weird. You must learn how to use your armor and how to bring forth your sure kills. When you transform, say, 'ARMOR OF SUNFLAME DOU TI! It is in your blood to become the Warrior of Truth. I must leave you now, but be warned. There are demons that lurk for your armor and especially you. This is my last request before I leave you in your wonders. Find the Ronin Warriors and help them defeat this evil. Goodbye Novalee Kyoshi and good luck." He started to disappear.
"Wait!" She screamed. He smiled gently toward her but he disappeared before she could tell him thanks. She was left wondering what to do now that he was gone. She thought what she could do. Maybe I should try getting out of here. That'll work! As of instinct she closed her eyes and thought of a place she could practice and live. She found a place and in an instant a white light flared around her. She was vaporized in a minute to her destination.
