Hmmmm its pretty short…well this is only the intro.

Martel's POV

Darkness

Yet, the feeling of comfort…

I wasn't in any physical body…just floating in an abyss of dreams.

Dreams…

My brother, Mithos….My love, Yuan….A world free from discrimination…all seeming like dreams now. Was I Dead? Why can't I move? How long has it been?

"It won't be long before the Chosen ends her journey. Soon, my dear sister, you will be brought back to me. . ." a voice echoed. It drifted away like a lost memory.

My dear sister…Mithos?!? I thought in alarm.

Be brought back…from the dead...no I was not dead, at least not in a literal sense. I was dead, I had been killed I remember, but I must not be 'dead' I was hearing my brother…I had seen him. I was living, yet somehow dead. It did not make much sense, but I knew somehow I was living. Suddenly I could see everything. Mithos, turning innocent souls into lifeless beings. Trying to turn my death wish into reality…but this was wrong. This was not what I had envisioned. All I had wanted was a peaceful world where those who were caught in the middle of elves and humans could live in harmony. Events of the last 4,000 years flashed through my head.

Why am I seeing this now? I thought. Then a clear voice like a bell rang out.

You where asleep…now you are awake! As I have awoken, you have also awoken.

Who…who are you?

I am the great seed, in which you sleep.

I'm in the great seed? W-Why have I just awoken?

The seals of the summon spirits that guard the great seed are weakening. Right now you are only on the verge of consciousness. As the Seals continue to weaken you will become more aware of what is happening.

Why-Why did I just see all of that?

I had to bring you up to date, on all that your brother has done, dear Martel. Soon the time will come when you will confront him. If he does not change his actions then the seed will die, and as a result the world will die, but Martel, we have a chance if you talk to him. Try to make him see what he is doing.

How can I talk to him? I'm dead!

Yes Martel, You are dead. You sacrificed your life to save the Great seed, so it would not die. When you sacrificed yourself, your soul entered the great seed giving it mana. Your Soul lives on in the Seed.

…forgive me…this just all sounds so…unreal. I thought things like this only happened in myths.

There was a soft chuckle, almost like dozens of little bells ringing softly.

No these things don't just happen in myths…but I must ask you. Given the chance, will you speak with your brother?

I still don't understand HOW I can talk to him.

…A time is coming when you will come face to face with your brother.

Face to face? I still don't understand…but if I really am able to talk with my brother I promise I will try.

That is all I ask. Now sleep dear one. The road ahead is a long painful one. I shall awake you when something happens…

The rest of her voice started to fade as the darkness claimed me.

Please review and tell me what you think. Oh and Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
