Prologue - Destiny's Choice
My life-
You could say it wasn't really interesting.
I had good parents, my father who passed away last winter, my mother followed as well, soon after that. Well, not that I had really bonded with them much, since they practically ignored me most of the time; I wasn't the best in school and didn't bother with them, although I did recall being very close to them when I was around 5. 'Dunno what happened though.
Getting onto my love life - I honestly, have no experience on love, unless you count 10 year old crushes which swapped to other guys - daily, as love. Although I have absolutely no idea why, I was told by my best friend Ash that I was great at giving out advice.
Oh! How rude, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Fay. Not an unusual name, really - well in my world, Venia, at least.
What I looked like? Well, my looks weren't much of a big deal - short, almost black, layered hair which continued to grow longer at the front, but stopped short at the shoulder-long bangs that curved against my cheeks. My eye colour? They were a grayish-blue shade - again, not much of a big deal, except for the random specks of blue, which I found weird, because my parents both had gray eyes, not blue. My skin tone was pale, like snow, but not quite. I know; - it contrasted greatly with my hair and, as my best friend Ash tells me, creates an ethereal effect, which apparently 'increases' my beauty.
I'm in my twenties, by the way, although Ash has only just turned 23, which I had teased her for, because she really didn't act her age, or because I was 2 years younger than her and I acted more mature. Guess her inner child kept her mind captive or something, but don't we all have those moments once in a while?
In all honesty, though, Ash was probably much more intelligent than me - in both real life matters and academic matters, but no way in the word of Venia that I would ever, ever, admit that to her.
My voice, although not as high-pitched as Ash's, was what I imagined as pretty. I was most likely a Mezzo-soprano in singing, but if I could just find one song that I would be able to sing, than I probably would've made a masterpiece out of it. Not that I'd admit that in public though.
My personality is probably the best thing about me though; - I'm a pretty honest person, but I can lie when I want to or when I need to, no doubt about that. I'm a person who usually thinks ahead of others, but I do have my flaws as well. I can be paranoid about some stuff, but I'll let you figure that out later, and just to let you know, I'm can be pretty full of myself as well.
I have trust issues, but nowadays I find myself always trusting/believing random strangers, for some odd, odd reason. I'm actually dreaming of becoming a musician or painter, probably a pianist, or a violinist, but so far, I've only just begun playing the guitar. Don't ask me why though, it was an offer presented to me in High School, and I took it. I've continued playing it, up until now.
I'm... probably not the nicest person you'll meet. A little socially awkward as well, unless I know you well enough to be myself, fully. I love to tease. Its one of my main perks, although Ash thinks differently. My feelings? Well, I'll just let you know that, although Ash knows much more than me in these situations, I do keep my feelings in check - I'm not as oblivious as you might think. I also, don't like to show my weaknesses - thing's like people knowing what scares me, usually stabs my ego.
Anyways, lets get back on track with what's happening to me, right now:
It was weird- while me and Ash were walking back from our daily routine of going to a Cafe called 'Destiny's Choice', a random old person came up to us; her eyes narrowed at me and Ash, but the thing that irked me most of all, was the disgust and fear, that was residing in this person's charcoal eyes.
I had raised a curious brow, as the gray haired woman sent a glance to Ash, before she fixed me into a staring-contest with her. She rasped words with a voice that made chills go down my spine; and not in a good way either.
"You, child, are not supposed to be here."
Ash and I had shared a look, one brownish-golden lock of Ash's hair falling into her eyes, which she had quickly brushed away with a long slender finger. The look was of confusion and slight interest, but when we looked back, we saw nothing, minus the bare cement path we were walking on, and the long street lights which were just turning on. Allowing myself to ponder on those words the old hag had said to me, I heaved a short sigh, before turning to say goodbye to my emerald eyed friend, only to find she was gone. Just like that. Shrugging to myself, I had gone home, unaware of the crazy events which would soon change my life forever.
When I stepped through the door of my apartment, without looking up, I shrugged of my small, leather bodybag, only to be greeted with cold air, fat raindrops on my head, and a chilling but strangely beautiful voice;
"Ah, finally, all 5 of them have come."
~Author's Note~
I'm quite pleased with this chapter, although it's probably the easiest, seeing as it's only the introduction. Is Fay's character alright? I'm really trying to make her a non-marysue. Please tell me if I'm succeeding. Haha.
Here are(is) some(a) definition(s) that Ash, surprisingly, has generously provided:
Mezzo-soprano: A Mezzo-soprano, mezzo meaning 'middle', ranges from octaves of a normal soprano to the deepest vocal range; contralto. By the way, I'mma soprano!
Venia: A Latin word, meaning 'Grace'. Also the name of the world that Fay & I are in. Flufflet. Please message Jesse (the author) if not. Or, if you have a better word in mind, for the name of the world that Fay & I are in. Heehee!
...P.S: Please be sure to send me and Fay some cookies. Thankies!
...P.P.S: You say Fay, as F - aye, not F - eye.
...P.P.P.S: Fay means 'Fairy/Elf'.
Trololol! You seriously have to watch that video somewhere on the internet, it's awesome. Haha. Anyways, thankies for reading! Review please, 'cause they make me feel all warm inside. Flames just plain hurt. Eheh. Maybe I'll draw up a picture of Fay/Ash on deviantART, but in the meantime, I'm kind of busy, with high school and all. For your information, The story will most likely be told in a 3rd person view, or Fay's point of view - pov.
This story will probably go by the manga storyline, with the exception of the OVA that's probably going to be somewhere around the middle or so. I don't know, I haven't really decided, haha. :D
Teehee! Ja ne~! See ya next time, on A Journey: Undone & Undine.
