Hello everyone, I'm here with a new story. This is rated for a list of reasons that I can't get into right now, due to the fact that this is my first story of the new year and I want it to be a surprise. This is also an AU. Please enjoy the first chapter.
Deep in a dense jungle, a lone monk walked through a hidden temple and looked up at the sky, "So…it is time. The child of day and the child of night must be found to fulfill the prophecy," the monk took a deep breath and shook his head, "The elders must know about this," the monk turned and walked down the corridor of the temple.
Across the ocean in America, two teenagers, Star Butterfly and Marco Diaz, best friends since birth, laughed as they walked down the street of Echo Creek, California. The two entered the Diaz house and Marco's parents looked up at them, "Hijo, you didn't tell us you were going to bring Star over,"
"Yeah, sorry ma, we just met up after practice and I asked if she wanted to come over for a while," Marco sighed and shook his head, "We'll be in my room…can she stay for dinner?"
"Of course hijo, you know Star is always welcomed," the two nodded and they walked up the stairs to Marco's room.
Star walked over to the bed and fell on it and moaned as a smile formed across her lips, "I tell you Marco, this is the life,"
"Heh, volleyball practice was hard?"
"You don't know the half of it. We had to run laps around the gym after one of the girls tripped and messed up our formation." Marco chuckled and sat on his computer chair as Star sat up on the bed, "And how was soccer practice? You looked like you were ready to drop over when we left,"
"We had to run laps around the field and other pointless drills." Star smiled and nodded, "And you know my mom was just teasing. You know you're welcomed and everything,"
"Yeah, I know Marco, just like you know you're always welcomed at my house," Marco nodded as the room fell silent.
A group of monks gathered in a large room in the temple and looked up at the sky. One of the elder monks sighed and frowned, "My sons, this is not good. We must find the child of day and the child of night before the imperial war breaks and the Dark One rises and destroys the world as we know it,"
The monks looked back at stone inscriptions on the wall and the elder monk sighed, "The two children of day and night are destined to destroy the Dark One and bring out peace throughout the world and restore balance,"
"But Master, we have no idea where the children of day and night are and if the Dark One or one of his followers find them before we do, they will not hesitate to assassinate them."
"That is why we must search for them immediately and train them to defeat the Dark One, my son. If we find them, we'll offer them protection while we train them." The elder monk answered, "Chances are the Dark One and his followers know nothing of the children and that will buy us some time,"
"Master, what if they are aware of the children and they do kill them? The imperial war will begin and the Dark One will-"
"Which is why we must not waste a single moment. Let us go," the monks nodded and they turned and began walking out of the temple.
Star and Marco walked down the street as the nocturnal creatures played their evening songs and fireflies danced around them. Star sighed and looked at her best friend with a slight smile, "Marco, I know where I live,"
"I know, Starlight, but what kind of best friend would I be if I were to leave you to walk home alone?" Marco smirked and Star rolled her eyes, "Besides, you looked exhausted earlier, I wouldn't want you to collapse and sleep on the side of the street,"
"Oh, but you looked exhausted too, do you want me to walk you home?"
"Funny," Star smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "No, I'll be fine." Star sighed and shook her head as they continued to walk down the street.
Here is the first chapter. I'm sorry it is a bit the short side, but I hope it'll grow into a great story. Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
