~ Dark Takeover: Chapter 1 ~
Aklyis looked up at the darkening sky, as the wind blew softly through her long brown hair, creating a mane blowing wildly around her. Her eyes narrowed, as if trying to see the flames burning uncontrollably through a forest in the distance. "It's begun," she stated to herself quietly as her sister walked up beside her.
Aklyis had never seen flames spread so quickly in all her sixteen years and seemed frozen in her trance, thinking desperately for an answer to her question, 'How did they find us so quickly?' Her sister Miya, only two years older was now standing almost casually leaning against a tree, not seeming so worried but rather amused. "Come on Aki, they're down in the woods, and we're up here on a cliff. You know we still have plenty of time to cover up our tracks and get out of here."
"I suppose you're right, but we shouldn't waste any time," The brunette replied, worry evident in her voice. Turning around, she eyed her slightly shorter older sister. Her shoulder length black hair blew slightly in the wind. She had a small confident smile on her face. It was always plastered on her face, and went along with her happy go lucky attitude towards life. Aklyis smiled inwardly, glad that she had someone by her side. She had no idea what she would do without her.
Aklyis' thoughts were quickly disrupted as the shouts of men broke the silence on top the mountain. They're getting closer, was the girl's thoughts in that instant. She looked at her sister, and as if both understanding each other, both girls picked themselves up and bolted towards the rugged downhill terrain of the mountain.
' How long have we been running? ..That's right.nine years. I still remember that day so clearly. The day mother, and father had died. I always had something to complain about as a child. Being royalty that was. But I didn't know what life really was like back then. I was too young. I don't remember many bad things happening to me before that day. But that day is still burned into my mind. I remember father yelling at Akari to get me and my sister out, while he and mother fought off the invaders along with the rest of the guards. I remember him giving me my katana. My sword..my weapon.my only defense. My parents were eventually caught, and executed. Though my sister and I escaped at the cost of Akari's life, we lived our entire lives from that day in hiding, and in running. Running away from my parents' murderers. That katana was the last thing my father gave me. And my mother..she melded two precious rubies into the handle of the katana. Each one had a sacred dragon spirit in it. My other companions, my dragons, Leiko, and Yutaka..they've been with me many times....'
Once again Aklyis' train of thought was broken as she crashed into a hard body. "AKI!!" was all she heard as she was hauled up by two strong arms. A fowl body odor reached her nose as reality hit her. Aklyis had lost herself in thought so much she had lost all sense of where she was going, and now she and her sister were caught, and being dragged away to a reality they feared too much to even imagine.
