Hello everyone! This is actually my second fanfic, I actually discontinued my first one because I thought it was really bad, the story-line was just everywhere and...ugh it was just bad period.
A few words: Edenia - some of you might realize so i'll just say it before instead of after. I actually got this name from the Mortal Kombat game series because I felt this name would be appropriate for this island and I couldn't think of anything else (I'm so lazy -.-')
A fallen - A fallen is actually a fallen angel sent from God to perform their duties given to them by him.
So that's all I have to say for now so on with the story!
Chapter One: Prologue
Hidden by a thick fog, was an island called Edenia. It was said that the island gained that name because it kind of resembled that of the Garden of Eden from the bible.
On that island, there was peace. Edenia was located on the North-west side of the world. The island's terrain was mostly lush green with many mountains and fountains decorating the surroundings. There were a few towns around the island because the balance between nature and man-made had to be equal. (People believed that it would disrupt the peace if this rule wasn't followed.)
Also on that island there was a temple. The temple was where the royal family lived, which included the queen, the king and their only daughter. They had a royal army to protect them and the island from any type of threat towards them. The island also had elders, they were the ones who had full control of the island apart from the royal family who gives orders to the townspeople and the elders give orders to the royal family so that they are able to pass that information on to the townspeople.
There were about five or six elders in total depending on their strength and wisdom. In this case there were only three of them as the other half had gone to carry out duties. Elders were marked with a crest on their body which made them identifiable to the public as higher status.
One of them was a woman who was highly respected in the community, with the royal family and the elders, her name was Lady Celestia. She had earned the title from the queen of the temple for helping out in the last war that had ever happened on the island. With her she had an apprentice, Elysia.
Elysia had just recently become Lady Celestia's disciple. Though she was a little clumsy before, she was quickly put on the road to having good manners and etiquette. Elysia had platinum blonde hair with clear, baby blue eyes. She wore a white mages robe, lined with golden hems and stitching.
"Who is this?" One of the elders known as Galanus asked. Galanus was the eldest mage in Edenia. He was to be retiring soon due to his old age. He had a very long grey beard and wore a mages cloak.
"She's my pupil" She began "There's no harm to be done...right?"
Galanus nodded. "Where are your daughters?"
"With the queen, is there a problem?" She asked with a little worry in her voice.
He shook his head before proceeding to start the meeting. Lady Celestia was also known as the queen's daughter but only a few people know of this.
The meeting was coming slowly to an end before a messenger ran in with a scroll in their hands.
"Everyone listen!" She cried. With that said everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention towards her. Her name was Portia; she was used as a messenger around the island but especially for the elders.
Portia had pink hair tied up in a ponytail coming out of a ribbon. She had long eyelashes which made her golden eyes appear slightly bigger. She wore a satin white kimono with golden patterns embellishing the dress. The sash was also a golden color, holding up the kimono.
"I just...received...this scroll...from the army," she said in between breaths.
"Well...what does it say?" An elder named Zara asked. She had black long hair which reached to her waist. Her eyes were lined with black eyeliner which made her aquamarine eyes stand out. She also wore a kimono, but the colors were the opposite way around.
"Its...it's..."
"It's what?!" Zara pounded her fist on the table, which caused the messenger to jump.
"It's a threat..."
The room was instantly filled with silence.
The war that had happened last time had caused so many lives to be lost because it was basically a surprise attack...nobody knew what was coming. Lady Celestia had unfortunately lost her husband in that war as well.
Everyone was deep in thought until Lady Celestia spoke up.
"When was the scroll sent?
"This morning" Portia scratched her head "That's what Saizo said anyway..."
"Saizo...?" Lady Celestia looked worried.
Apart from the Royal Army there was a new special Army added, they were basically mages that were stronger than the basic royal army. They were added as a part of the Special Alliance because of the events that happened from the war last time. In that case, Saizo was the man in charge of the special alliance that had been formed. He was the strongest among all of the candidates picked, not only physically but mentally too.
"I don't understand..."
"Milady, isn't he a part of the Special Alliance?" Elysia finally spoke up
"Yes, but if he received it then...something big is going to happen"
Silence filled the room again until the blonde haired messenger spoke up.
"U-Um..." She placed a slender finger to her cheek
"What is it Portia?" Galanus stroked his beard.
"T-The scroll is from the N-Netherlands"
"WHAT?!" Everyone in the room shouted in unison
"That's it...we have to start evacuating" Galanus stood up and walked towards the door. "We have to prepare now!" With that said he ran quickly out of the room.
"Damn it..." Zara used her telepathy magic to alert the army to prepare for battle. "Lady Celestia, get ready...quickly" Celestia looked over at her and quietly nodded before receiving a stern look from Zara as she exited the room in a hurry.
"Right" Lady Celestia stood up "Elysia please find my children and evacuate them immediately."
"B-But milad-"She was cut off by Lady Celestia's hands covering her own.
"Please" She begged "I don't want them to get taken away..."
"Taken away? Milady?"
"I-I think..." Lady C ran a hand through her hair and sighed. "I think they're after them"
"What? Why?"
"Because...They want to use them"
"...I don't understand" Elysia asked still confused.
Lady C sighed "When both of them were born, both of them had a light magic source within them" Lady C explained "But unfortunately one of them was born with more than the other"
"What..?"
"There was a prophecy...You've heard of it right?"
"Yeah" Elysia scratched the back of her head, still confused about what Lady C was talking about she still tried her best to try to understand.
"That a fallen would be here," She began "But no one knew when he or she would be coming...right?"
"Yeah..." Still confused at the point Lady C was trying to make.
"Well..." Lady C rubbed against her temples and sighed before fishing her sentence off. "Illana isn't just a normal child, she's the fallen one"
Elysia's eyes widened in awe at what the woman in front of her had just said. How could this be that a fallen had been born out of a person? It didn't make any sense to her whatsoever. A fallen isn't even human for crying out loud. Now even more confused she asked:
"But how..? If she's the one spoken about that means..."
"Archangel..." Her whisper was barely audible as tears stared to well up into her eyes.
"Milady?"
"I'm scared Jade will fall into the dark side if she stays here" Lady C sobbed.
Elysia looked into her teachers eyes. She had known that she was very protective of her children since their father had died, but she hadn't seen this side of her before. She was literally begging her to take her children away from here.
"Ok milady. If it is your wish then I'll do it"
Lady C wiped her tears away and nodded, then proceeded towards the temple with Elysia.
"Your majesty" Lady C and Elysia bowed
"You may stand" The queen's voice boomed around the hall. "Celestia...what brings you here?"
"We found out the threat was sent from the Netherlands" Lady C explained "We're evacuating women and children as we speak"
"So you're here for yours...am I correct?" The queen asked
"Yes, your majesty..." She averted her gaze away from the queen "I would like to see them before I send them away"
"You're not going with them?"
"No, I have to help here...your majesty"
Silence returned to the room once again. Thoughts were going around in everyone's heads until the queen spoke up.
"Very well..." The queen turned her back and sighed.
Queen Kala was her name. She had silver hair tied up in bun with the crown placed near the base of the bun. Draped over her body was a royal cape, it was a royal velvety red the same colour as the lipstick that graced her lips. She had beautiful grey eyes filled with grace and joy.
"They're in the gardens" She finally said before Elysia went to look for them.
As Lady Celestia was about to do the same Queen Kala spoke "I hope you know what you're getting yourself into"
"Yes, I do ma'am"
"I know you're strong, and I know anything I say won't stop you from doing what you're about to do but..." The queen walked towards Lady C "Those children need you, dear"
"I know, that's why I have to do this"
"I just hope you're doing the right thing" The queen looked at her with worried eyes.
"I know I am" Lady C spoke before she left the room
"Mommy!" A little girl about three years of age ran up to Celestia, cuddling her. The little girl had grey eyes with chocolate brown hair.
Another girl was walking behind her, the same age as the girl hugging her mother.
"Jade...Are you ok?" Celestia asked her
The girl named Jade nodded. She had emerald green eyes with long jet black hair.
"Illana, Jade...you're going to be following Elysia around for a while" Her voice softly spoke to them.
"Why?" Jade asked
"Because...it's not very safe here"
"Are you coming with us too?" Illana asked with a glint of hope in her eyes.
"Yeah, I'll be coming too, but..." She looked away from two of them for a moment. How was she supposed to explain this to her little children? They're too young to understand after all. All these thoughts jumbled all up in her head until screams could be heard from the town.
"We have to go now milady!" Elysia quickly picked Jade up into her arms and Celestia carried Illana in hers and they quickly ran through the castle and onto the pier, where people where being evacuated.
I just started to write Lady C because I got tired of writing the whole thing...anyway
