Prologue

It Starts

Beams of light caressed my hair as I sat under the weeping willow. I could hear the other children calling my name, their voices carried amongst the wind to my secret hiding place. They never thought to look beneath these weeping branches.

Usually they forget about me and play their stupid games, never asking me to play with them, unless they wanted somebody to pick on. They especially love to play 'Kill the Ogre', me as the ogre of course. I'm cast this role even if I don't want to play.

I closed my eyes to travel to the fields in my dreams. A smile split my lips as the rolling grass gently caressed my ankles. My minds eye carried me to far off places I have never visited before in my life, of course, because I've never left the castle. I sighed as I heard the branches of the weeping tree being pulled aside.

"I found her, I found her!" A little girl about my age pointed at me and started to jump up and down. "I found the Ogre you guys!"

All the children swarmed to the tree like an angry horde of wasps ready to attack me with there lethal sting. The girl that found me smiled evilly at me. A boy at the age of eleven came up behind the girl and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Good work Kay. Now everyone lets kill the Ogre." The group of turkey buzzards, as I think of them, advanced on me. The boy hung back to watch as I got pummeled. "Spears at the ready." He said. All the kids raised the sticks they were holding. "Aim…attack!"

The first stick was aimed at my head, but it never made contact. They all blink at the same time allowing me to use my stealth trick and get away undetected. All of them are idiots.

"Hey, where'd she go?" a boy asked.

"I knew it! She's a witch!" a girl shrieked.

"Let's get out of here Ben!" Kay said to the lead boy.

"No! She has to be here somewhere." Ben shouted

As the kids searched the whole courtyard for my where about I sat in the tree watching them. If they keep letting me get away like this they'll never become guards like there parents. They really are hopeless.

"Children, have you seen Ui?!" A brawny man asked.

When the kids saw this guy they began to run like chickens in a coop from a coyote. They knew this man was the head guard to the royal guard, and the boss of all there parents. Hector Zolo, a.k.a. Mr. Zolo (to me), was a tough guy to not be scared of.

Mr. Zolo grabbed Ben out of the throng of children as he ran by. The other kids stopped and looked helplessly at their leader. Ben struggled to get out of Mr. Zolo's grip.

"Where is Ui?" Mr. Zolo asked Ben.

"I don't know! She ran off when we were playing with her!" Ben replied.

"Don't lie! I know the games you children make her play." Mr. Zolo tightened his grip on Ben. "Where is Ui?"

"I don't know!" Ben tried to yank his arm away from Mr. Zolo with little success.

"Wait Mr. Zolo" I cried. "I'm up here!" I jumped down from the branch I was on down to the courtyard grass below. The kids shrieked and ran around again.

"Quiet!" Mr. Zolo raised his voice over the peels of screaming. "You may go now." He released Ben and quickly walked over to me. "Ui are you hurt?"

I looked over Mr. Zolo's shoulder to see Ben and his gang of nasty kids run away, but Ben turned around and pulled his finger across his throat signing that I'd be dead someday. I'd be waiting for him. He can't do squat.

"Ui did they hurt you?" Mr. Zolo squeezed my shoulders.

"I'm totally one hundred percent fine." I took one of his hands off my shoulders and squeezed it. "Where's Itachi? I thought he was with you." I felt my cheeks heat up when I said his name. Damn my cheeks, showing how I feel!

"Oh, he's in the market area. Ui, why do you let them pick on you like that? You are capable of fighting them back you know."

"I don't want them to know what I'm capable of. I want to get them back for what they have done to me since I was little. It's an added bonus to see the looks on their faces when I disappear from thin air." I sighed. "I'm going to have to find a new secret place to hide out now."

Mr. Zolo looked deep into my eyes and sighed. "Ui, I feel the need to protect you. I feel as if I am your father. Let me adopt you Ui. Let me call you my daughter. Your only nine years old for heavens sake. You need a father figure, to have stability, not just a mother."

"Mr. Zolo I do have a father. I know he's alive. I can feel it...right here." I placed my hand over my heart. "Mr. Zolo you are a care provider, more like a very dear friend. I may be nine, but I am wise beyond my years, maybe even a little trouble maker. I'll be fine Mr. Zolo, I still have my mother." I hissed at the very thought of her.

"Ui, you don't like your mother. You never talk about her at all. I don't even know who she is! She can not care for you if you don't care for her. I do care for you though Ui."

"Father!" A boy's voice cried. "Father there is a scrap in the market area!"

The boy stopped by Mr. Zolo while my heart sped up. It was Itachi. He looked at me with his gorgeous hazel eyes and smiled. His dark brown hair looked especially silky today. I just wanted to hug him and never let go. He was the only person I actually cared about in this dump, him and Mr. Zolo.

"H-hey Itachi." I mumbled. "How are you?"

"Hey Ui. I'm fine." He smiled again and looked back at his father. "Father, you have to go to the market. Leon and Duffy are fighting again! It is getting very serious."

"Okay calm down Itachi I'm leaving now. Watch Ui for me, I'm not done talking to her." With that he ran off towards the barracks and shouted, "Hoe the barracks, fight in the market area! Soldiers assemble!"

From the barracks we could hear soldier's boots clomping on the floor down into the grass shouting commands. Ten soldiers were available to march down to the market place and stop the very rambunctious fighting. I watched as they clopped down to the gate and through it to the market area.

"Ui, what was father talking to you about?" Itachi asked me.

"Nothing, just the same old stuff, like adoption, and protection-"

"He wants to adopted you!" Itachi interrupted. "That would be spectacular. Then we could be together everyday."

"Yeah I know. It's just…my mother always said I was destined to be alone, to go on this big adventure to save this beautiful land of ours." I sighed and hung my head.

I didn't have a problem being alone or going out into the world. It was just…I didn't want to leave Itachi behind. I knew how he felt about this place.

"That's bull-butter!" He raised his voice at me. "You are not destined to be alone. You were, no are, destined to be with me! Father too of course."

"I don't think so. My heart pushes me and begs me to leave this confined place. To fly free from this prison of agony. I want to be free from this place and see the world. That is what I'm destined for." I looked at far off places in my head.

"Then I'll come with you. That way you'll never be alone." Itachi touched my face with the back of his hand gently.

"Itachi, you are destined to stay here. You know that is true."

"No! My place is by your side…always." He whispered the last part.

"What does your heart say?" I asked.

He took his hand from my face and turned away. He knew it said that he should stay here. He loves it behind these walls. Protecting the people and animals in them. His heart wouldn't be able to take being on the outside, no matter what the cost was.

"I'll still go with you. I don't want you to go alone Ui, never alone." He looked at me over his shoulder.

"I won't allow that. Your heart would get sick if you leave here. Even if you were with me. Itachi you may love me, but your heart loves it here more." I put my hand on his shoulder and squeeze. It was the only affection I could show him without my heart constricting.

"Ui, don't you understand? My heart would be sick without you." He turned around and grabbed my arm.

"Itachi! It will never work out between us!" I was almost in tears. I hated to cry, especially in front of Itachi. It showed weakness.

Without a word he pulled me into a hug and wouldn't let go. I tried to pull away, but was squeezed harder. So I finally gave in and hugged him back, loving the embrace I was in. It was so warm.

"Kyon! Kyon?! Kyonkichi Ui Shieka!" My heart convulsed. That voice would always grate my ears like rocks on stone.

"Coming mother!" If she saw me embracing Itachi she would have a hissy fit. "Itachi I must go."

I let go of him, but he looked stricken between the decision of letting me go or not. Alas to the sound of my mother calling my name again he gave in. With one last glance behind me, I ran to my mother's irritating voice.

"Kyonkichi I never want to see that kind of display again! Do you understand me?!" Mother's voice dug into my ear trying to imprint on my brain.

"Yes mother." I droned.

"Good. You are confined to this room until I tell you to come out. To bad that won't be until your journey starts!" With that she slammed my door and I started my exhausting wait for my 'journey' to start.
