JOURNEY TO THE OTHER WORLDS




"Will you hurry up!" commended the mage Kurapika to his friend Leorio.


"Oh, there's no need to rush !"
"Yes, there is !! We have to get to the castle before the King sees we want to get back the Sacred Book."


Kurapika had been working for the Council since a long time, for he was a great but quite young magician...He even came to the castle of the King, to translate precious books..But The Book, The Sacred, unreadable book, stayed a total mystery..Though, once, it seemed The Book had talked to Kurapika.The Book, living in the castle..Kurapika was sure it contained HIS answers.

"You mean "steal" ?"
"That's not stealing !! The Sacred Book, the thing which has supposedly stored the story of the creation of the universe..Its ful energy will wake up my dead siblings.."
"Kurapika...Please, DO stop purchasing something impossible..."
"You...I hate you...Why can't you understand what I feel ? You can't know who I am.Leave me alone." replied Kurapika, tears running furiously down his face.
"Mage Kurapika...I'm sorry..."
"We continue."

Kurapika and Leolio stopped under a tree for the night...As they sat close to the fire Kurapika had made appear, Kurapika started : "You know the tale of The World ?"

"No, but you'll soon tell me."
Kurapika grinned...

"At the beginning of the beginning was the priestess Rainbow. Rainbow was born from nothing and dead of nothing. One day, a round and radiant star formed from her smile.
It was called "Sun" or, as I heard, it meant "The Warmth".
Rainbow closed her eyes.
The moon appeard.
She dropped a tear.
Then,another one and she finally dropped 4 tears.
From these tears formed flowers.
These flowers represented "worlds".
The most shining of them was called "Sun-Flower" , for its shine came from the sun, reflecting onto it.
There was another one shining..But with a white shine ..It was called "Tsukimisou" for it possessed the shine of the moon.
Though, Rainbow took a petal off Tsukimisou and one off Sun-flower to form our world.
And, some of her powers dropped in it.
What we call "magic".
Rainbow came sometimes to the world and looked over, for she formed a bridge she named after herself : "rainbow."

"and you wanna take the book to have access to these worlds...I know you, everybody says The Book will take you to a sacred place.The "Siblings" thing was a good idea.I believed you when you weeped.."

"How dare you !"

"Like the way you dared to lie to me."

"Actually, my mother, before diying , talked about "Poppy" , the world where there were other "ones".She also talked about "The Saphirre book" , the book of life and of The BRIGDE.I want to know...I'm sure it has something to do with me.I don't remember anything about "Poppy" during my childhood...I remember mostly the death of everybody..."

"Hmm...I see...That's why you know so much about religious Myths.I'll help you...after all aren't we friends ? By the way, what's the book for ?"

"To seal and open the rainbow brigde we'll go through to go to "poppy" . Nobody except very few people, not even including the king knows about The Book's true power and how it can be suposdely used .The Book is written in an unknown language and might tell the story of life , what truly hapened.I tried to collect infos during the past four years about "The Sacred Book, as for its true name is "The Sapphire Book"...Once, I was at the Castle for a Magic assembly. I felt as if what was written in the Book talked to me and I'm sure I can read it.."

"Hmm..."Kurapika continued, smiling..."Let's sleep, we'll have a Long Long day."

Kurapika dreamed of a woman calling his name ," Kurapika...Kurapika...Kura-chan, we have to leave...Hurry up..."
"where are we going , mommy ?"
"Don't cry...THEY could hear you."
"Mommy...They're here because Rainbow said they should punish us ?"
"No..I'm sure Rainbow will take care of us...As long as you be nice and pray for her."
"Where will we go ?"
"Where Rainbow will guide us with her bridge..."
...Blood..."Mama !!" "Cross it and live !!!"...Darkness...

Kurapika woke up... The moon was hidden...The time of the crossing had come...Today or never...The Crossing....Only during 1 month, the month of the Birth of The Moon would they be able to cross the bridge..The next time was in 100 years.

THE JOURNEY WILL START SOON...
