The Dream

It was a dark and stormy night in the town of Ravensford. People in the streets quickly disappeared into taverns and homes for a good night's sleep. All except one was busy preparing a hot meal and a warm bed. This person stayed outside in the muddy streets as the rain poured down. He was running by the time the rain started to get worse, and accidentally tripped. Flipping on his back, he stared at the murky sky. He hated water, but he never knew why. All his memories were shattered in the Tengu War, and suddenly, his eyes blazed in hatred. He had only one memory left, his name. "I am the Krean Ravensking! Son of Lyndis and Kraw Ravensking!" he bellowed standing up, "I will have my revenge for my people! All who oppose the almighty Raven Clan will perish!"

Mitsuko woke with a start. 'It's the same dream, the one with the guy seeking revenge.' She thought. "Oh, it probably means nothing. I'd better get up, it's time for school." She groaned as she sat up, "OK, maybe five more minutes in bed and then I'll get up..." As she flopped back down onto her bed, a high pitched voice rang downstairs.

"Mitsuko! Get your behind down here in five minutes otherwise you'll miss school!"

"Arrg...mother! Why can't she leave me alone?" she moaned while dressing. By this time, she was already wide awake. "Let's see...what should I wear today? Oh wait, I have archery practice today." Mitsuko sighed. She hated wearing the archery uniform, it bothered her; a white robe with a long red skirt could easily trip anyone.

While walking to school, some immature skirt-flipping brats Mitsuko knew rushed by her while flipping her skirt. 'I've tolerated that until today...' she thought in anger. Then, with a burst of adrenaline, she caught up to the boys and started to beat the stuffing out of them.

"My! How violent can people get?" taunted a voice.

Mitsuko froze in annoyance. 'Oh no...It's them...'

"Ha ha ha! And I thought she resembled a mountain monkey!" giggled another.

"Do you have something to say to me?" said Mitsuko while trying to keep her voice calm.

"Hm? Were you just talking to us? I'm sorry, I could've sworn you were." Said the first voice.

"Mimi, why don't you save up your money and buy yourself a new personality? Because the one you have right now is actually quite annoying." Said Mitsuko loftily.

"Why you!" started Mimi as she was pulled away by her other friends.

"Don't pay any attention to what that mountain monkey is saying Mimi! Let her rot!" said Mimi's friend.

"Yeah that's right...just walk away girlies!" muttered Mitsuko. Her happy day being ruined, she trudged on to school.
