Sparks In The Air

Chap. 1

Cold wind stabbed the skin on my face as I walked across the Douglas Bridge back home. It was the start of winter and the skies were as clear as they could possibly be in Juneau. The rays of the sun attacked my eyes when I turned my head away from the onslaught of cold and started to blink the little specks of color in my eyes when I looked away.

Bloody hell! Just like every year. The sun is out but it doesn t give heat when it shines and only blinds me.

I stopped near the middle and looked at the horizon, viewing the mountains with pink and purple dyed clouds hovering over. Gracefully swirling about the huge rocks and dancing around them before the breeze carried them elsewhere. I sighed, it may be as cold as death but the mountains and the sky during the start of winter were beautiful! Adjusting my backpack I started to walk across again only to stop to see a flash of a light beneath the bridge. Blinking a few seconds to gather information on what color it was and to get rid of more little specks in the eye. With a feeling of excitement taking over me I looked over the railing to see what was going on. Damn my shortness!

Are people setting off fireworks? I wouldn t be surprised! It s already dark and it s just going to get even darker faster with every passing day. Please let it be fireworks!

My guilty mind begged for people with explosives to start shouting in enlightenment and joy but as I gazed over the railing, with my chin barely above and me standing on the edge, a wave of disappointment came over as I saw nor heard any one. I just stood there for a few seconds realizing there was no boom to that light. Shaking my head I jumped off and slumped when I realized it was just my imagination playing mean jokes on me. The color was red. Recently I ve been seeing red flashes and shapes at random times as well as orange only to push them away as tricks of the sunlight or reflections of sunlight.

But they have been appearing at night to. When there is no source of such a light to be near . I don t understand how that could happen. The only other explanation is that my brain is extremely bored or I m just being followed by some magical thingy-ma-bob.

After a moments pause I giggled.

As if! If only it were that explainable!

Scoffing at my own minds suggestions I pick up my speed up Blueberry hill to my apartment. Once reaching my door I walked in and began putting things away.

And if only life were that exciting.

Another rush of disappointment came over and I just stood there looking at my reflection in the mirror by the door. Thick long brown hair, dark brown eyes and just barely darkened skin. All these were my natural colors and they were as dull as math homework on the weekend. After another minute of examining my features I walked up the stairs and went straight to my anime, poster covered room then just plopped on my un-made, bigger than full size, bed. Falling asleep as soon as my head hit the soft, thick, cushiony surface of the silken bundle fabric that was my blanket.

Curling and twisting around in the bliss of a soft, red fabric was the girl he had been looking for. Hovering above her was a bird glowing in crimson, watching her as she breathed in and out in her slumber.

Come, Eon, you must guide and protect this girl. For she is of great importance to us in the near future. Carry out this mission with the up=most of care and do not overexert her.

The Phoenix god than turned into nothing more than a red orb and observed the orange aura that surrounded the girl intensify than slowly fade as she continued to breathe peacefully, unknown of the happenings around her.

Once I call your name, you shall be summoned into a world that you do not now of, but then do not panic. For you will have the protection of a God. Dear Priestess.

The girl gave a soft smile as if hearing the soft words that were spoken so gently to her.
