Shards of Time – Past by RZX
Prologue
In the year 10XX, the city of Tomoeda, Japan is a bustling city full of prosperity. The sun rises to greet the people of Tomoeda with the start of a new day. The marketplace teems with traders yelling bargains and sales on new goods. They went about their daily lives as they assembled down the streets that were around the Imperial Palace. They were totally unaware of the strange looking man standing near the Palace wall.
He was dressed in a blue Kendo jacket and pants that matched his hair and eyes. Sunlight reflected off his glasses as he stared at the wall.
"Hmm…this vine growing along the wall…perfect." the man murmured.
A large wagon rolled in front of the man, blocking him from view. When it passed, the man was gone; disappearing as quickly as he came.
The Imperial Palace was built for the governor of Tomoeda. In there, all the daily tasks and affairs were handled. The palace was carefully guarded at all times because thieves and murderers were common these days. There had already been several attempts by thieves trying to break into the palace. Each time the captured thief would be dragged off to jail. And every time, each thief would always yell
"I'll get that magical book sooner or later! Just you wait…"
Rumors had reached the city of Tomoeda that there was a secret treasure hidden inside the palace walls…a magic book of some sort that granted its wielder unimaginable powers.
"And we're going to get it."
"Hmm? What did you say my cute looking cousin?"
Outside the city boundaries, stood two men. One of them was the same blue-haired man that had stood at the palace walls earlier. The sun was setting now; the sky grew dark as another day ended for the people of Tomoeda. But these men seemed to have no intention of going to sleep anytime soon.
"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that?" said the other man.
He was standing underneath a cherry blossom tree. His face and body were hidden in the shadows of the tree. The only visible thing was his messy brown hair that shone in the last rays of sunlight.
"Oh about a million times." replied the blue-haired man.
A growl could be heard from underneath the tree.
"Anyway, I need you to get the clan ready."
A single petal from the cherry blossom tree fell. It slowly floated downward toward the ground. But it was suddenly stopped as the brown-haired man reached out his hand. It settled gradually into the palm of his hand.
"We're going to steal that book…tonight."
As he said this, the man tilted his hand. The pink petal disappeared.
Hmm…wonder what's going to happen next? Oh wait…I already know. Lol
I know it's short, but it is a prologue after all. Hope you guys like it.
