Phantom's Life

Chapter 1: The Beginning

On the floating Angel Island, a white chao woman accompanied by two gray girls set an egg on the floor in front of a council of elderly chao.

" Councilmen, I have made the journey to Angel Island because you have summoned me." The white chao said.

" We believe that war may befall the gardens without leadership. Already the Dark Garden is strengthening their defenses and training their armies. If they have a ruler, maybe they could stop this tragedy before it can happen. Luna, perhaps your daughters or your newborn son could be the ones." The council leader explained while stroking his beard.

" We must warn you that you could lose your children if they are deemed worthy. If you change your mind, there is nothing wrong with backing out." A black elder warned. Luna gripped her two daughters' hands and swallowed hard.

" Mother, someone needs to restore order to the world. Elders of the council, I am ready to be judged." The one girl told her mother as she stepped up to the leader who placed a hand on her head.

" Spice, your boldness may be just what the Dark Garden needs. You must become the Devil Chao and rule over them." The leader ordered. Spice bowed and took her place at Luna's side as the elders examined her sister.

" Sugar, your calmness and open mind will help the Hero Garden greatly. You must become the Angel Chao." The leader explained. Suddenly, the egg began to crack open. Luna and her daughters peered into the egg to see two blue eyes peeking out at them. A white baby chao crawled out of the egg and into the waiting arms of his mother.

" Luna, may I see your son? Oh, but first you must name him…" the elder asked.

" Phantom… His name is Phantom." Luna replied as she carefully handed the infant to the elder.

" Hmm… This is strange. This child's destiny is clouded to me. We can only hope for the best. Phantom will remain with you while your daughters go to their gardens. You may visit them at any time but they cannot leave until the clouds of war have passed. You are dismissed." The leader explained as he handed Phantom back to his mother. Luna and her children made the long journey back to the lobby of Chao World. Two luminous staircases led to the Hero and Dark Gardens.

" Don't worry Mother. We'll see you again." Spice assured.

" Yes…we'll set everything straight for you." Sugar added.

" Be strong you two. Listen to the chao there and behave." Luna cried as her two daughters went their separate ways. She then looked at the sleeping chao in her arms.

" Let's head home, sleepyhead." Luna smiled as the two walked into the Neutral Garden.
