To Live a Normal Life

Prologue

My name is Lily. I am one of the four owners of the Earth. I am the Demon Lady of the Austral-Asia Pacific and my elements are Darkness and Ice. I am the strongest of the four owners and am called the "Demon of a thousand faces". But being the owner of part the world is getting boring. Everyone knows who I am, does everything I ask. Everyone sees me as: Lily, the Demon Lady of the Austral-Asia pacific. No one sees me as simply "Lily". For once, just once, I wanted to be in a world where no one knows me as the "all important owner". So, I decided to use a power I hadn't used before. The power to move between worlds. Into a world where I wasn't known for my powers, where I wasn't known at all. I was aiming for a world adjacent to ours where stories of a heroic group working tirelessly to reunite their two worlds, Tethe'alla and Sylvarant, were born. Of course everyone just believed it to be a legend and nothing more but was real. Very much so. I longed to go there. So when I used the ancient magic, it was a power so strong, it almost knocked me out 5 seconds in, but I held on. And the last thing I felt was pain. Intense pain. Then, the world, my world, went black.

Chapter 1 – Arrival - Lily's POV

Ugh… Where… where am I? Why is it so loud?

Hey? Can you hear me? Are you okay?" I opened my eyes to try finding the source of the voice. My vision swam and my head hurt. I groaned in pain.

"Hey, are you in pain?" It's too loud… My head hurts too much for it to be this loud…

"Too loud…" I mumbled, clenching my eyes shut against the bright light "My head… It hurts…" I groaned again and I pushed back against the wall I was leaning against to get myself up.

"Hey, whoa, you shouldn't get up" the mysterious voice said. It's too loud…

I got half way when the already weak strength I had vanished. I collapsed, falling forward into something warm. I suddenly felt like sleeping. It sounded like a very good idea…

Normal POV

Zelos whistled a catchy tune as he strolled the streets of Tethe'alla's capital city, Meltokio. He had just arrived back from visiting the Sybak Research Academy. Zelos was glad he needn't wear the Cruxis Crystal any longer, but he is still required to take it in for check-ups every once and while. Even though he doesn't have the role as Chosen any more, he still has the social status and ranking. And being second to the King, Zelos is free to use the unused parts of the castle. Zelos and his boyfriend, Lloyd, gladly accepted this offer and now share a room in the deep, quiet part of the castle.

As Zelos walked up the stairs leading to the noble's area and the castle entrance, he pondered on how long Lloyd would be. When Zelos reached the top of the stairs, the sky darkened and a gale force wind blew flecks of ice around dangerously, threatening to stab Zelos. People around him began to scream and cry in fright.

"What's happening?!"

"Ahhh! Miko-sama(1), what's going on?"

Just as quickly as it started, the wind stopped and sky returned to its baby blue colour.

"What the…" Zelos glanced around to make sure everyone was alright. A thump Zelos' right made him turn, and laying there, in a crumpled heap, was a young woman. Zelos, desperately trying to ignore how hot she was, ran over to her. He lowered onto his knee and craned his neck to see her face.

"Hey? Can you hear me? Are you okay?" he questioned, trying to get her to wake up. Her eyes fluttered open and she groaned.

"Hey, are you in pain?" he tried again. At this point, Zelos pretty was close to freaking out. This girl did not look like she was okay. She mumbled something. He leaned forward so could hear.

"Too loud…" 'Too loud'? What? What does she mean 'too loud'? "My head… it hurts" she groaned again. Her hands began to pat the wall behind her, as if she were trying to get a grip on something.

'She must be trying to get up!'

"Hey, whoa, you shouldn't get up" Zelos warned, standing with her, his arms out ready to catch her should she fall. The mysterious girl barely got half way before collapsing forward into Zelos' chest. He picked her up bridal style and noticed that she had fallen unconscious.

'At least she's pretty' he thought. Zelos sighed and made his way to the chambers that he and Lloyd shared.


Well there you have it!!! What do you think? The chapters will get longer as the story goes on.

– In this case Miko-sama means Chosen
