Chapter 1
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Celeste bolted upright, screaming a denial, with tears pouring down her face. She looked around her bedroom, noticing she'd tangled up her sheets in her sleep.
"What the hell? Who were they? Why am I so upset?" She shook her head in confusion as she remembered her dream.
Two men are standing ankle deep in running water, swords drawn, in an otherworldly, somehow evil place. They look alike, with one dressed in red, and the other in blue. They charge towards one another, swords held out to their sides. The man in blue raises his katana, but before he can bring it down, the red-clad man swings his blade horizontally, slicing the other across his stomach. He staggers and doubles over. A gold pendant with a red stone falls out of his coat. As he straightens, he picks up the pendant. Clutching his pendant to his chest, he backs away, towards a waterfall. The red-clad man rushes forward, hand stretched out to try to stop him. The man in blue slashes outward with his katana, striking the red-clad man across his palm as the former falls backward off the waterfall. As he falls, the scene changes.
The red-clad man faces what appears to be a demon in battle armor. The demonic figure surrounds itself with an intense blue aura, and its form begins to shimmer. Its horned visage transforms into a twisted copy of the face of the man who could be the twin of the man in red. The two clash briefly before the red-clad man lands what is obviously a death blow. The demonic man rises into the air, his visible aura swirling with black. He lets out a terrible scream of pain and horror before vanishing in a blinding flash of white light. As the light fades, something falls to the ground. It's a golden amulet set with a blood-red stone...
"That dream... It kinda reminds me of a legend my father once told me," Celeste murmured, lifting her left hand to wipe her tears off her face. She stopped mid motion, shocked. Across her palm was a shallow slice that had barely bled. "Wait a second. This looks like the cut in my dream... How did I end up with it on my palm?" she wondered. "Hmmm, it doesn't look that bad. I should be fine." She looked at the clock. "3 A.M., huh? Crap. I know I'm not gonna get any more sleep now, not after a dream like that. I might as well put this extra time to use."
She got out of bed, made it, and headed for the door. Halfway across the room, she stepped on something hard. She looked down and saw a shiny object. She bent over and picked it up. "Hey, this looks like the pendant from my dream, but that can't be possible, can it?" Sure enough, the pendant had a blood-red ruby set in gold, on a gold chain. It looked antique.
"Hmmm. I wonder," Celeste mused. She left her room, but instead of going to her training room, her original destination, she walked upstairs to the library, went inside, and turned on her computer. As the computer was running through its boot processes, she walked to the back of the room where her father kept all the books of legends and myths. She scanned the shelves looking for a particular book. Finding it, she returned to her computer desk and sat down. Activating her search engine, she typed in one word and pressed ENTER. SPARDA. The results popped up within seconds. What she saw had her jaw dropping in shock.
Well that's that. For those of you who have already read the original version of this chapter, I'm sorry for the alert. I did revise this chapter, and added some more stuff. Don't worry, I'm working on chapter 2 now. Please read and review!
