Path of Darkness

Hello everyone! This is my my first fic. Please don't be too harsh! I am more a script writer than a story teller so my stories are very plot hole filled as the way I write are imagined from a film makers point of view not as a novelist point of view!

Review please, tell me how I did!

I own none of the characters or Storm Hawks

Chapter 1: Prologue

A young girl sits in an obscenely large, cold metal throne. The girl hummed a tune to herself whilst playing with a ragged looking doll whose head and limbs had gone floppy and one of the eyes had fallen off. She didn't care, she treasured him anyway.

Aged only 4 she has seen war, death and destruction. The girl was surely entally scarred inside.

She clutches at her stuffed doll as a soft, wise voice speaks from behind.

"Cyclonis, it's time for your crystal studies". A familiar voice calls out.

The young Cyclonis tilts her head to face the elder in front of her.

The elder was a tall figure, long talon-like fingernails painted purple, long robes which draped on the floor, the elder wore a similar spiked collar to her, only much bigger.

"Yes grandmother". Cyclonis replied, shuffling forward from the throne and jumping down from it.

Her grandmother had always taken care of her ever since her mother had died, although she couldn't really remember her mother.

Her father paid very little attention to her as he was always busy, but he was the commander of Cyclonian battalion, which her grandmother told her was a very important role.

She hurried towards her grandmother and the wise-looking elder took her hand and guided her through the long halls of Cyclonia.

Cyclonis always felt so very small when walking around the Terra, the fleet of talons patrolling the corridors of her home made everything always feel industrial and not so homely, there were no other children her age on the Terra either.

As they passed through several halls, a tall, slim figure with jet black hair passed, Cyclonis released the grip of her grandmothers hand and sprinted over to the young man.

"Ace!" She called out, and plummeted herself into him and clutched at the young mans legs. He groaned a little as it was unexpected and he almost tripped as she launched herself into him.

"Ace, will you play chess with me?". She asked looking up in awe into his pale grey eyes, him into her violet.

He looked to his Master, Cyclonis' grandmother with a look of question.

"Cyclonis must attend her studies Dark Ace, you may see her later. You have your duties to attend to, I believe my son requests your assistance".

Dark Ace, he was the newest talon who had single handedly taken down the Storm Hawks and pledged allegiance to the Cyclonian empire. He had been given the highest honour of a general of the Cyclonian fleet, alongside Cyclonis' father himself.

Cyclonis didn't really know what that meant, she understood that Dark Ace had killed, but in her heart she felt it was for the right reasons as he was always so gentle towards her.

Dark Ace nodded. "Of course, right away Master."

He felt terrible, the small girl was partly the reason he betrayed the Storm Hawks, once he stepped foot into Cyclonia and saw the small child crying during the battle, he couldn't bare for any harm to come to her.

He looked down at the small figure clutching at his legs. "Later, I promise". He said with a half smile as the young Cyclonis was pulled from his legs by her grandmother and taken away to study.

Cyclonis looked behind to him and smiled.
