Yume: What's up, my little dreamers?
Yuki: Whoa… This isn't the Take It Out On Me or the Never Again story room
Yume: Of course not! This is the prologue of my new story, Red Fate.
Yuki: You mean you're actually gonna start it?
Yume: Of course! So if you're reading this, thanks for checking it out and I'm sorry if the prologue isn't that good.
Yuki: Okay then. Let's get this story started!
Every story has a beginning, middle and an end. Some ends aren't as clear as others but that's beside the point. In a book, you may think the story begins on the first page, ignoring all the extra pages before it of course. But the story rarely ever starts in the beginning of the book. The story starts way before that. Now, let's take a look at the start of our story.
Three hundred years ago, there lived wizards and witches, healers and monsters, and angels and the main part of this story, the demons. These 6 groups were called the Chosen. There were humans too but they weren't as important as the Chosen. The Chosen were the strongest and wisest beings, created by the Almighty himself. Sadly, they were also opposing forces. They were categorized as good and evil. The wizards, healers and angels were seen as good and trying to protect all humankind while the witches, monsters and demons were evil and trying to get rid of mankind to "purify" the world. Or at least, that's what everyone else thought.
The truth was the witches, monsters and demons were feared but they were also scared. When the Almighty had created them, he made sure that the wizards, healers and angels were more powerful. They were to protect humans if the "Evil Ones" ever decided to attack. But they never did attack. The Good ones did.
One night, a wizard who had gone insane with power cast a spell and told a story. The story was one that would be passed down for generations. The spell was one that would ensure that they believed it. The story was the Tale of Sorrow* and this is how it went.
"Once long ago,
There was no tomorrow
No sunrise or sunset
No forgive and forget
No happiness or laughter
No "Happy Ever After"
Only dark nights and broken moons
Hurricanes and monsoons
Earthquakes and explosions
All this commotion
Were caused by the evil ones
The ones whose darkness blackened the sun
They made the calm waves mad
They made the clouds cry sad
There was never any freedom
If you were caught by a witch, monster or demon"
This tale ruined the lives of every witch, monster and demon. Angry mobs hunted them. Fires burned down their homes. Even the Good Ones that were supposed to be their equal were caught by the spell and destroyed them. There was no place on Earth that a witch, monster or demon was safe.
Years passed and there are no more Chosen ones. They had all become extinct, unable to keep their bloodline pure enough to have more. They are all but a myth now. Legends were still told but none proved to be true. But just because a species has died out doesn't mean their power has died out as well. The spell cast on the Tale of Sorrow lived on forever but it was twisted as it was told. The story no longer consists of hairy, growling monsters or ugly, cackling witches or dark, smirking demons. The story now tells of a new demon. An evil to surpass all evils. The demon's name? Gaara.
Yume: And that concludes the prologue!
Yuki: It's kinda short.
Yume: Not all of them can be long…
Yuki: Its length is bothering you, isn't it?
Yume: Like you wouldn't believe… But it should be longer later! We hope you enjoyed the chapter. All reviews are appreciated, even flames!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor will I ever. I make no money from writing these stories. I own nothing but the plot and a few OCs. Peace out! ^^
*Just so we're clear, the Tale of Sorrow was my idea and is my original piece.
