"My god..." Kore whispered sorrowfuly and sadly as she look around while still clutching on Tenma's hand. "...no..."
Many people weeped in despair and sorrow over the lost of their beloved one and their what was once called home.
'Why is all this happening?' Tenma though angrily as he clutches his fist and Kore's hand before looking down at Kore who clutches her heart. 'My town...Our home...why?!'
"Tenma, are you alright?" a man asked worriedly from came the said boy wearing the same armers as him but in different color. He stop behind them before noticing a girl with red hair and green eyes, all dirty. "Kore!"
"Dohko-san!" Kore shouted in relief as one of her friends is still alright. "Are you alright?"
The said man nodded at her and smiled at her. "I'm fine."
"Damn it!!!" Tenma suddenly shouted as he grinned his teeth in anger. "Damn Hades!!! How could he do this?"
'Tenma....'
Boom!
"Guooaaaa!!!"
The three quickly snapped their head at the direction of the source.
"You guys go on," Kore spoke up as she let go of Tenma's hand. "I'll go look for Aroon, and see if their are any survior."
"B-but--!"
"No. I be fine Tenma." Kore told him before hugging Tenma and let go. "When I fine Aroon and the other, we will see each other again."
Tenma look hesitate before nodding. "I will. Be safe and...don't died, promise?"
"Promise." Kore smiled before looking over at Dohko and gave him a hug which surprised him and whispered. "Please watch over and don't let him do something supid."
Dohko smiled as he chuckled softly as they pull apart. "Don't worry, I will. Be safe Kore."
Kore nodded as she watch as her friend quickly headed over at the direction of the source, while clapping her hands together and closed her eyes. 'Please watch over them for me, Athena. Protect them. Protect Tenma and Aroon. Lets them be safe.'
Kore opened her eyes and let her hand slid down to her side, looking at the direction that Tenma and Dohko went once last time before taking off at the opposite direction.
A flower cross necklace dangled from around Kore's neck as it glowed softly.
As they reaches the scene a boy lay beaten against the crumble wall.
"What happened?" Donko shouted as Tenma came up behind him.
"Urgh... Sir Dohko of Libra..." The boy groaned. "The Spectres have reunited."
Dohko and Tenma look surprise. "Excuse me but...Spectres???"
The boy weakly and shakily lift his hand up and pointed behind them. Tenma and Dohko both turned around and was shock at the sight.
"Th..That's" Tenma stuttered as he look disbelief at the sight before him or who was before him.
"Welcome Tenma, or should I say Tenma of Pegasus." the boy said. "My friend."
"But...but why? How is it possible that a person as kind as you...We were almost like brothers...How could you..." Tenma said as he clutches his fist and shouted angrily and disbelievingly. "BE HADES!!!"
Kore suddenly stop her search as she feel a huge and overwhelming presence and turn pale. It was dangerous and powerful yet it was sad. She snapped her head to the other side of the town where Tenma is.
"....what should I do...?" Kore whispered as she clutches her flower cross necklace. "What should I do?"
Lord Hades, he is the God that rules the Kingdom of the dead with his queen, Persephone. Hades, from the era of Mythology has fought Athena for control of Earth with his 108 evil stars turned into Spectres. When the Holy War begins, Hades takes over a body so that he could be reincarnated. For his soul is in Meikai, he uses a human when he wants to go to Earth.
Several years ago, when the two young men and a woman were still boys and girl...
CHAPTER ONE: THE DAYS WE LOST
"Hold still you pest!" a man shouted as he and his friend throw rocks at a puppy.
"Where do you think you're going, you filthy dog?!" the said friend shouted.
"Stop right now!"
"Give me back my lunch! You won't get away with this!"
As the two men shouted and threaten the poor dog, they didn't realize that a boy holding a sketch pad against his chest looking sad and a girl next to him, looking up brightly at the bright clear blue sky before turning to her companion at she notice his sad face.
"Hey," She said gaining his attention and pouted. "Don't make that face on this kind of day."
The boy blinked and was about to say something but a yelp suddenly catches their attention as they look up in time to see two men ready to throw rocks at a puppy.
"Come back here!"
"I'm warning you..."
The girl eyes widen at the scene as the boy next to her tighten his grip on his sketch pad looking sad and whether or not to help the puppy.
"Let's do it together!"
"Understand?"
"Take this!!"
Before the girl could do anything she found herself holding to her friend sketch pad as her friend rushes to help the puppy as the same time he was hit on the head with the rocks.
"Please stop..." he softly said as the tow men stared in shock, as well as the girl.
"What?"
The girl gasped as she saw droplet of blood and gasped more as her friend left his head up while holding the puppy to his chest.
"What are you doing here with that womanly look?"
"Aroon!" The girl shouted worriedly as she rushes over to her bleeding friend. "Leave him alone, you jerks!"
The girl stood in front of her injured friend and the puppy with her arm spread out and glared at the two men in front of her.
"Kore-chan..." Aroon whispered as stared up at one of his childhood friend.
"Hey...I know these two." the black hair man said as he look down at Kore and Aroon with his hands on both of his hips. "He is that kid, Aroon. He lives at the assents. The girl, Kore, she was adopted by a couple in the village. She has this habit of hanging around the poor. He is poor but, he somehow manages to learn art at the church."
Suddenly the brown hair man reach over and pushes Kore aside and grabbed the puppy by his neck from Aroon.
"Kore-chan!" Aroon cried out Kore fell on to the ground next to himself.
"Hey!" The brown hair man said. "Give him back! He has eaten our lunches and he needs punishment."
"How can you be so cruel to this puppy?" Aroon asked sadly.
'Aroon...' Kore thought as she look at her childhood friend next to her.
"Don't complain. You see, we don't have time to draw little pictures." The brown hair man said as he hold the puppy by his neck.
"If we lose our lunch, we could starve to death." the black hair man behind him said.
"And that gave you the right to harm an innocent being?! It was just some foods. You could get more so why makes a big deal!" Kore shouted at them earning a harsh slap from the black hair man.
"Shut it brat!" he said.
"Kore-chan!" Aroon shouted. "Leave her alone! Here, take this bottle of red paint. If you sell it you cpuld make some profit."
"Aroon..." Kore softly whispered as she held her redden cheek.
"What? A bottle of paint?" the brown hair man asked.
"I went to town yesterday to buy this. If you resell it you could get a fair amount of money!" Aroon told them.
The two men hesitated before taking the bottle of red paint and walk away.
"Good boy. It alright now..." Aroon said softly at the puppy as Kore watch the scene sadly before smiling as Aroon turn to face her.
"Come on Aroon, lets get your wound clean up and go--!" Kore sighed as she stood up next to Aroon but was interrupted as the brown hair man from earlier fly pass her as a boy kicked him in the face.
"Got you!!" the boy shouted.
"Tenma!!" Aroon shouted in surprise and shock while Kore just twitch.
"He-!" Tenma said but was cut off as Kore boinked him on the head.
"Idiot! What were you thinking!?" Kore scolded him with her hand on her hip. "I almost got hit and you scared Aroon!"
Aroon sweat drop.
"Who you calling idiot, brat?!" Tenma shouted at Kore before turning to Aroon making Kore hmped and crossed her arms and throw Aroon his red paint bottle. "Idiot, what were you thinking? They would make you work day and night to pay off that bottle! If that happens, how are you going to finish that mural at the church!!! You see..."
"Take this!!" The black hair man from earlier shouted from behind Tenma and held up a wooden block ready to hit Tenma, who just look back and brick the wooden block with his fist shocking the man before hitting the man, knocking him out.
"You're so cruel Tenma! They're poor and also-!" Aroon stated to Tenma.
"These idiots had it coming!" Tenma replied.
"Yeah, Aroon. Although I don't agree with how Tenma took care of it but..." Kore said to Aroon who look up at her before Kore pinched his cheeks.
"Ouch! Kore-chan!"
"You should also think before you do something stupid like that idoit!" Kore said as she point at Tenma.
"Hey!"
"Now apologizes, Tenma!" Kore scolded him as she point at the two men who was now getting up.
"What!? Why?! They hurt you, Kore!" Tenma shouted angrily.
"Because it isn't right. Hurting them unexpectedly is just like them hurting the puppy." Kore said as she clutch the hem of her shirt. "No matter what, it wrong to use violence as a revenge. Not only you are hurting them, you hurting yourself as well. And Kore doesn't like to see Tenma or Aroon hurts."
Tenma sighed defeatedly while Aroon just smiled softly. "Ok, I understand. I'm sorry...Sorry you're such jerks! Aww did my flying kick hurt? Remember it!"
"Hey!" Aroon scolded while Kore just shook her head and smiled softly as she giggled.
"Who is that guy?"
"He also lives at the assents..."
"A boy from Asian descent enter the escene. His body may be small, but he is stronger than an adult."
"Who would have thought three people with different personalities could be great friends."
Aroon, Kore and Tenma smiled at each other and laughed as they talk happily together.
The Next Day
Church
Inside the Church, a hand was swiftly and quickly moved his hand back and forth which held on a paint brush. On the other the person, Aroon, was holding five painted brush as he calmly and seriously move back and froth as painted his picture.
"So, the rumors about him were true…" A man with glasses wearing the black robe spoke up behind Aroon as he admired Aroon's art work. "It looks like talent flows through your veins."
"And you are…?" Aroon asked after he stop painting and turned around to look at the man.
"I introduce you," a old man smiled.
"Sensei…" Aroon stated as he pulled he rolled his sleeve down.
"This person is the priest of the Forest Cathedral." Sensei continued as he stood behind the said man.
'The forest Cathedral?'
The priest smiled. "That painting on the mural is quite interesting; I have come from afar to witness it."
'Now that I think about it…'Aroon thought. 'I know this man.'
"I see you frequently around my church." The priest said.
"Yes!" Aroon stated.
"Even though it is 3 hours from here by carriage, have you seen the saint painting at the basement of my church?" The priest asked.
"Yes…even thought it's not for the public or for me to see." Aroon said fondly as he let out a small smile. 'The saint painting was donated by the Pope of Rome himself. That is why it is considered sacred.'
It is so beautiful that when people look at iy, they regret all their sins and their hearts cry tears even if it's a criminal.
It's author is unknown, so it's beauty is hidden in the basement of the church. That painting brings hope to the people….
"To look upon that painting is my biggest dream." Aroon smiled softly and gently.
"Even a criminal you say?" the priest asked making Aroon confuse. A star appear on the priest as he spoke up, unknown to everyone else. "You with the purest of souls, can paint something like that."
"Eh?" 'Now…'
The priest looks at the painting. "Why haven't you put any color on the eyes of that angel?" The priest asked.
"That's because I just haven't found the right color yet." Aroon answered as he looks at his art work. "I want to give the impression of a sunset. That's why I want to give it the right tone of red. I have already tried a lot…"
The priest look at Aroon. "That is because the colors humans make are limited...We can only recreate what the illusion of light show us. That is why those colors are fictional. Not true colors."
Aroon look up at he Priest innocently expression and curiosity. "Fake and…real colors?"
"Right, imagine if the painting at the cathedral were painted with the true color. If said painting can give such emotions to people using fake color…" The priest said as the star appeared once again, unseen. "Imagine what it could have done if it had used the true color. Why don't you try to go to the mountain that is north of town?"
In that land, exist a red flower that is said to have been painted with the blood of the broken wings of an angel.
That is why this red land has the true red.
Use that flower to continue painting the mural with the true red.
Then you will discover your talents and abilities that hide within you.
