Prologue…
One day at the playground, parents were playing together with their children. Some of them were not. "Mommy, my head hurts! Where are you…? Daddy, Where are you?" but no answer replies. Then suddenly a big bang came to a street. "Mommy I'm scared." She cried. "Oh! Hurry a car crashed over there!" a shout just passed to her back. "Two people were inside of that car! Somebody help! Call an ambulance!"
… Early morning at a girl's house …
Girl: (wakes up in shock) My parents… I don't want to dream that again… (Sighs) (Slowly stands up)
"Now is the time… the time to put her here in our world. The Goddess shall now search her for she is the chosen maiden." a scrawny voice coming from a young lady with a wretched body of hers resting on a dark room. "Yes, my Lady. I will now prepare your potion for you to drink. I now desire to see you once again in good shape." a voice of a man coming from beside of the weak young lady. "Don't worry. Once that this will end, I'll accept you as my well husband." she said it like it is a promising words coming from her. The man reacted shockingly and more encourages him to do their perfect plan. "My lady, it's a pleasure having you here with me." The man offers her the potion and slowly vanishes through the air. When the man left the room, the young lady quickly laughs.
... After 30 minutes …
Girl: (Brushes her long royal blue hair in front of her dresser) (Took her two special hairpins at the table) (Sticks her hairpins to her hair and forms it into a half ponytail) (Rubs her grayish uniform) I'm ready. (Goes to her school)
… School …
Student: Yumi! (Waves her hand)
Girl/Yumi: (smiles) Hey Ayu.
Student/Ayu: (Walks beside her) Come on, Yumi. We should go now at our classroom before our teacher gets inside.
Yumi: (smiles to her) Okay.
Ayu: (Sighs) Yumi. Our 2nd examination test is sooner than we expected. (Funny face) Can you please tutor me again for the whole week? I really need to go to Tokohino University. And we all know that University is one of the top colleges that have a really good education and we all want to get in there, right?
Yumi: (Looks at the sky) That's also my dream college. (Looks to Ayu) Sure, Ayu. Why not?
Ayu: (Sighs) (Crossed her arms with funny face) You know I really envy you. You're one of the top students on this school. How I wish I could be you. (Laughs)
Yumi: (Laughs with her) You can be me if you really work hard in all the subjects.
Ayu: (Sighs) You're right. (Encourage herself) I know I could do this! I know I could!
Yumi: (Cheers for her too) I know you could really do it! (Smiles to her)
… First class …
Ayu: (shock face in chibi version) You got a high score again!
Yumi: (Laughs a little)
Ayu: Omigod. Boys are really crazy for you now!
Yumi: (Sighs) Ayu. (Looks to Ayu, smiling) I really don't mind them at all.
Ayu: (Funny face) I really envy you!
… Lunch break …
Yumi: (walks at the corridor) (holding her book) (Eats a chocolate bar)
Boy1: (follows her) Yumi. (Smiles to her) Uhm. Are you free this Saturday? I wanna spend time with you. So are you free?
Yumi: (Smiles to him) Uhm. Sorry. I really don't know you. I'm not that kind of person who always agrees. (Cute smile) Okay?
Boy1: (Stops following her) (Blushed) (Meek voice) Oh boy. That's the kind of gal who I really like!
Boy2: (follows her) Let me help you with that. (Tries to grab the book)
Yumi: (Stops his hand) (Smiles to him) I'm sorry but I can handle it by myself. And it is not heavy. It's only just one book, you know?
Boy2: (Blushed) (Meek voice) Wow. She is really cute.
Ayu: (walks now with her) You are really a lucky girl, you know that?
Yumi: (Laughs a little) oh Ayu.
… After a couple of hours …
Teacher: (Serious face) Okay class. Are you ready for the graded recitation?
Some students: (Shouts annoyingly) Aww! C'mon Sir! Give us a break!
Teacher: (Mad face) You don't have any choice!
Ayu: (Sighs) Another graded recitation? The last class is always the horrible one! (Remembers something) (Whispers to Yumi) Uh. Yumi. Could you accompany me at the National Library? Aske is asking me a favor to borrow some books that he needs to read. Is it okay?
Yumi: (still listening to the teacher) (Looks to her) (smiles to her) Sure. (Thinks) Aske-kun… (Whispers to Ayu) Say, Ayu. How is Aske doing now?
Ayu: (Funny face) (Sighs) Same old Aske as always. (Looks to Yumi) Hey… (Funny curious face) You're missing my brother, don't you?
Yumi: (interrupted in what she says) (Blushed) No. No! You're silly. And besides, the two of us no longer have communications. You know that both of us are busy at the moment. (Smiles to herself)
Ayu: (Funny face) You're blushing. (Laughs a little) He's not forgotten about you either. Don't worry. (Smiles to her)
Yumi: (more blush) (Thinks) Aske…
Teacher: (Noticed Ayu talking to Yumi) Ikanami!
Ayu: (quickly stands up when she heard her last name) Ha. Hai!
Teacher: (Serious face) As your punishment, you'll be standing up for the whole period!
Ayu: (Embarrassed face) Gome. Gomenasai.
Yumi: (Looks to Ayu) (Slowly stands up) Sir.
Teacher: (Serious face) Yes, Miss Uzima? What is the problem?
Ayu: (Shock) (Meek voice) Don't do this, Yumi.
Yumi: (Disappeared eyes) I. I should be the one who is standing. I'm the one who bothered her then we talk about something else.
Ayu: (more shock) Yumi…
Teacher: (Smiles awfully) I know what you're doing, Miss Uzima. I know you don't want Miss Ikanami be embarrassed infront of the whole class. Sit down, Uzima. You don't have the right to do this.
Yumi: (Surprised) … (Looks to Ayu) (Sat down)
Ayu: (Smiles to her) (Ok sign) It is just alright.
Teacher: (Lectures the whole class) Okay, class. You see that in every friendship there is the support for each other. But don't be so foolish to fool your own self to help the other. So, you should thank Ikanami and Miss Uzima for the two of them will have extra assignment then all of you excluding the two, will be exempted to your graded recitation for today.
All of the students in the room: (Shouts for joy) Woohoo! Alright! Yeah! Awesome!
… After their class, they went to their teacher for their extra assignment …
Ayu: (Laughs to her) I'm just all right, Yumi. Besides, I'm strong enough to handle that one and a half hour standing. Haha!
Yumi: (Sighs) I'm really sorry, Ayu. (Panicking funny chibi version) Oh, Ayu. What will Sir Imoto do to us now?
Ayu: (Okay sign) Hey, that assignment surely is easy for you. (Smiles to her) Lucky for you.
Teacher: (Calls over to Ayu and Yumi) Miss Ikanami and Miss Uzima.
Yumi and Ayu: (Bows their heads infront of him) Sir.
Teacher: (Lends a paper) Here. Look for this book then both of you will report in front of the whole class. Let's say about three days after. That should be enough for the two of you. The whole content of the book should be read. Got it?
Ayu: (Surprised funny face) Whoa! Only three days? And we should read all of the contents of the book?
Teacher: (Serious funny face) Why? You've got a problem with that?
Yumi: (Cuts in) Sir Imoto. I'm satisfied to what you have said. (Bows her head) Three days is enough for us.
Ayu: (Shock) …
Teacher: (Smiles awfully) That's the energy that I want! You're lucky, Miss Ikanami. Your partner is the top one at your class. But look to what you have done to her. You are considering her at your should-be assignment. Anyway, now go and start your work.
Ayu: (Sad face) …
Yumi: (Looks to her) (Attempts to debate to the teacher) But, Sir.
Teacher: (Cuts in) Don't blame me, Miss Uzima. She should really punish to what she have done.
Yumi: (Stops) … (Bows her head) (Pulls Ayu until they reach outside)
… Outside of their campus …
Yumi: (Comforts her) Come on, Ayu. Cheer up!
Ayu: (sad face) I think that it is really my fault that you are now involve with this.
Yumi: (Looks to her) Ayu. I have already planned to what we can do to that extra assignment! It's really your big chance!
Ayu: (Looks to her) Big chance?
Yumi: (Nods her head) Uh-huh. A huge extraordinary report! Oh. I can imagine now. (Imagines) You see you can show off what are you really made of! You can take out those words that Sir Imoto told you! You can impress us all! You should give all the details that you can tell to them. I can help you, Ayu! This is really your big chance!
Ayu: (imagines too) You're right, Yumi! (Hugs her) Oh. Thank you, Yumi. You really encourage me this time! Oh I'm excited! (Smiles)
... Bus station …
Yumi: (Stands infront of the bus) Let's go, Ayu.
Ayu: (Behind her) Okay.
Yumi: (Sits at the chair) Next stop, the National Library.
… National Library …
Yumi: (Enters the Entrance door of the Library)
Ayu: (Sighs) Yumi. We should split up. Please do me a favor.
Yumi: (Looks to her) What is it?
Ayu: Could you look for the books that my brother wants to read? (Exhausted) I'm a little exhausted right now. My body starts to numb because of Sir Imoto. (Funny exhaust face) I'll look for the book that Sir Imoto gave us.
Yumi: (Smiles to her) Oh. Ayu. No problem. Just leave it to me.
Ayu: I know that book is around here somewhere on this floor. As for you, you should look for the books at the second floor. (Points at the top)
Yumi: (Looks at the second floor) Okay-okay. See you around. (Smiles to her) (Then took the stairs)
… Second floor of the Library …
Yumi: (goes to the other side) Where can I find those books? Hmm. Let me see. (Looks at the signs on top of her) English section… Culture… Science… Mathematics… Oh. There, the Literature section.
As she crosses to that section, she suddenly stunned her look to a door that was labeled "NO ENTRY". She got interested to look inside. As she opens the door, she was amazed at the several old books and scrolls. When she explores the room, something fell at her back. She swiftly looks at it and read quickly the title of the book labeled "The Forgotten God". As she tries to grab the book, her heartbeat starts to increase. "Why am I feeling this?" she thinks. The security of the Library opens the door and shockingly saw her "Hey you! What're you doing here? This is a Restricted Area! For Personnel's only!". Yumi quickly said sorry to him then innocently goes outside of the restricted area. As Yumi leaves outside, the book glows in a yellow shade.
Yumi: (Thinks) What's with that book? It's not an ordinary book at all.
… After ten minutes …
Yumi: (Goes down with the books) (Searching for Ayu) (Meek voice) Ayu.
Ayu: (Sees her) (waves her hand at Yumi)
Yumi: (Sees Ayu) (Walks towards her showing all the books that Ayu must borrow) (Smiles to her)
Ayu: (Smiles to her) Thank you, Yumi. You're the greatest.
Yumi: (Laughs a little) No problem, Ayu. It's all that I can do for you.
Ayu: (hurries) ah. Yumi. We should take these books to the librarian now and get it checked. My brother will be angry if I'm not home yet!
Yumi: (Smiles) ah. Right!
Two of them said their goodbyes then separated their ways and walks in an opposite direction. Yumi took the bus then goes straight to her house.
… Uzima Residence …
… Night …
Yumi: (Enters the entrance door) (Greets her grandparents) Grandma! Grandpa! I'm home! (Leaves her shoes at the side)
Grandma: (Smiles to her when still cooking) Oh, Yumi. Welcome home.
Yumi: (Smiles to her) Hi, Grandma. (Smells her cooking) Hmmm. Smells delicious as always.
Grandma: (Hugs her) Thank you, sweetheart. I'll serve the food in a few minutes. (Points at the dining table) There is your Grandpa.
Yumi: (Hello sign) Hi, Grandpa.
Grandpa: My Yumi. Welcome home. (Looks to the TV) Look, Yumi. Your favorite show is coming up.
Yumi: (Stands beside him) Oh. Grandpa you still remember. Sorry, Grandpa and Grandma. I feel really drained today. Not today. (Bows her head) Sorry.
Grandma: (Smiles to her) Oh. It's just alright, Yumi. This is the only way that we can repay you to what you have been doing for us daily.
Grandpa: (Looks to Yumi) Your Grandma is right. You can rest now, Yumi. Goodnight. (Smiles to her)
Yumi: (Smiles to them) Thank you so much. (Goes up the stairs)
… Yumi's room …
Yumi: (goes to her bed) I wonder if I can go to that library again… (Headaches and shows a yellow mark on her forehead) Oh no! This headache…! Again…!
And a light just came out infront of her and a divine-looking woman shows up… The woman is covered by beautiful white and yellow long gown that it's like that kind of look is like coming from the heaven and her look is wonderful like an angel with her smooth-like skin.
Yumi: (looks to her) Who…? Who are you?
Woman: I'm the Goddess of the center region of the constellations… You will be the maiden… The chosen one… You need to look for a book to enter a new world… A world that will amend your life…
Yumi: A maiden? What are you saying? (Moves backward in fear)
Woman/Goddess: (Extends her hand) Look, my child… You won't understand if you don't go to that world... Come with me…
Yumi: (Holds her mark on her forehead) …
Goddess: (Points the mark) That mark… Symbolizes that you're the one… The chosen one… The Genbaku maiden…
Yumi: (Surprised) You. You mean… that this is the proof? (Touch her forehead) … Why me?
Goddess: (Starts to disappear) You should be able to see the portal… The book… (Then she completely disappears)
Yumi: (The mark on her forehead bit by bit vanished) A portal? (Remembers the book) "The Forgotten God". (Shakes her head) I. I must be imagining things… (Looks at the roof) Is that real? Besides, our eyes are not lying. (Rest to her bed)
… After few minutes …
Yumi: (Sits on the Bed) I cannot sleep. Maybe that's real. I saw the book yesterday that looks like that, that is the portal. There is only one thing to find out. (Looks up) I must go again to that National Library and check it out and find if it's true.
… 8:40 pm …
… National Library …
Yumi: (Enters the Entrance door) (Looks at the clock) It's almost closing time. I should be quick and see if it's true. (Takes the stairs slowly)
The girl took the stairs slowly because of anxiousness. Few people were inside that Library and only one man manage to see that girl. The man recognizes that girl. "Yumi?" he said in a questioning voice. The man follows her in a far distance. The girl went to the restricted area again and looked for the book that she saw a couple of hours ago. As she goes into another side the book fell once again then it glows with a yellow light. The man peeked at the door and noticed her. He didn't say a word but he only stares to her. The girl got more nervous but she gets the book without difficulty. As she opens the book it lights up in front of her. One of her special hairpin fell at the floor as the light swallowed her within the book. The man was really shock and tries to rescue her but it was too late.
The story now begins for the new maiden is now at her predicted new world…
