The sky is red, I don't understand,
Past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin the woman is damned,
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The cities a blaze, the towns on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is burn!
"Burn" Deep Purple.
BLAZE
Before the end of everything you know…
Before my coming as ruler of this world…
Before the Iblis Trigger shall free me from my prison and fulfill the Ancient Prophecy…
There is a story that needs to be told.
A story a sorrow… A story of pain…
A story of young love… And ominous war…
I, as the master of time itself, shall be your host for tonight's bedtime tale…
It's one of my personal favorites and I often love to recall it.
For now, I would share it with all of you… Yes! You foolish mortals who think that things Life has given to you were for granted… That have been kissed by luck and a benevolent fate… The so called "normal" people…
All of you, hear me out… Because this story is especially dedicated to you.
It all begun in a night between the second and the third day of the year of Sol… I couldn't quite remember the exact date since, for me, Time has no meaning… But I do remember the place.
Mobius, Terra Firma…
The Sol Kingdom…
It's capitol… Soleanna, the City of Water.
On with the tale!
Chapter 1: "Once upon a time, in land far far away…"
… A baby was born, a Mobian lavender cat she was. A beautiful lady she would become. Her parents so proud they were. She cried so hard as if for letting the world know that she was alive… That she was there.
The miracle of Birth.
The miracle of Life.
Nature, or Chaos, or a more sinister force, however, had different plans for her… As her parents would find.
For they were alive no more… For they, in ashes they turned.
Burnt alive.
The fury of fire.
The strength of tears.
Panic spread all over as soon as the news went known. She's cursed, Someone said. She's the Devil's spawn, someone else's said. She's the Iblis Trigger, other fools yelled.
She's the chosen queen of Soleanna, an old sorcerer cried.
It as been written and predicted by the Ancient Literatures, that whom shall rule the kingdom to bring it to it's highest glory, will be the one who's life is embraced by the powerful flames of Solaris, the God of Sun.
It's mortal incarnation.
It's vessel to this world.
She's the predestined and she would reign over her people.
Her name, a symbol of her role, must bring with. A tribute to their God it will be…
Blaze the Cat… The Queen of Flames.
All hail, the new born queen!
All hail, the future of the Sol Kingdom!
All hai, Blaze!
Indeed, it was a terrible burden for such a little creature… She's been marked by the Flames of Fate the very moment she was born… The same flames that took her parents from her…
She could kill with a single tear… Such great power… It could be of some use for my purposes, one day.
Anyway. After the Sorcerer's faithful words, the child has been adopted by the royal family of Soleanna. It has been decided that, at the age of 14, she will be crowned queen and rule her country…
But due to her lack of control over her powers… She was also seen as a danger for anyone around her…
For this reason she lived all her childhood completely isolated from the others…
Until the day she met him…
Ooooh… I've always loved this part. It is so… Deviously refreshing.
The time was now 10 years in the future…
She had grown up over the years… Enough to learn the significance of Love…
Enough to suffer for it.
On with chapter 2, children..
