Prologue- Crystal


(Several Years ago…)

Twilight shined in the sky above as a light shined in the distance, and there, a bare tree stood alone with the small creatures of nature gathered around with light sobs of despair. Harvest sprites, that's what they were called. They were little fairy-like creatures; the clothes they wear representing the colors of the rainbow. The sprites were hugging a being covered in light, choking words out as it glowed.

"P-Please…! *hic* Harv-vest G-Goddess! D-Don't leave *sob* us yet!" An orange clothed sprite whimpered out pleas to the light that was growing fainter by the minute.

During that moment, Wizard was closing into the area where he was called for. He stopped at the same spot where the sprites were crying out to the vague figure. A soft voice emitted from the bright light, and from hearing his name, Wizard moved closer to being, and in the light, a faint shape was outlined. A womanly body outlined in blue was barley seeable as the outline faded in and out every few seconds, but with careful examination, you can easily tell that it was the Harvest Goddess.

"Wiza..rd…. You're…here" The voice belonged to the fading figure of the Harvest Goddess. "It…seems…that.. my… time… has… run out… for ..the ..time ….be..ing." the voice was nothing but a quiet whisper.

Wizard looked up, a hint of regret shown on his face, for the fact that he wasn't able to do much to stop this from happening. The slightly distorted face gave a light smile to ease his emotions, and reached her hands out to him. Wizard looked up in slight curiosity as to what she was doing. A bright light full of power escaped from her hands and the magical power that came out circled into a sphere. The lights circled faster and faster, until a clear shape was detectable once the lights stopped spinning.

In her hands was a crystal, shaped into a diamond, lights reflecting off the sides like the twilight above them. Inside of the crystal, another womanly shape was figured, though this wasn't the Harvest Goddess, no, it was a young girl. The girl's body was in a graceful position, on leg straight down and the other propping up slightly, her arms were floating by her sides as she was giving off a bright light as well, but more in the shade of hope than disappearance. Her facial features were calm, a small smile on her face, eyes closed as if she's asleep, and her short, pricked hair still, almost like a picture. Wizard's attention was brought back to the Harvest Goddess as she started to speak again.

"Wizard… It's not too…. late, this… holds a ….young … girl who… can help, but… be warned, she… is a magical… being as well… and she… holds a curse… despite… being the… purest… soul I've … ever seen…" The Harvest Goddess murmured, and Wizard only gave a small nod in response. The Harvest Goddess handed the crystal to Wizard, and he only stared at the crystal floating in his hands.

"Well… that's…. the ….last… of my… magic… I… must … return…. to….. the… depths… of… my… pon…..d….." Her words started to break apart as her shape was starting to disappear. The sprites jumped up in panic and surrounded her fading body, the cries from them growing more and more frantic.

"I'm….. sorr* my *riends….. I…. beg… of y*u to… take car* of her wh*n … she gets h*re…..*oodb*e…." Her voice stopped and the outlined figure vanished. The light that was there faded with her and the large tree turned into the color of death, a hard black/gray shade.

Wizard looked down to the Harvest sprites, their faces darkened in desperation, but they knew, Wizard could sense it, the sprites understood what their objective is, and soon, their faces gave way to determined expressions.


(A couple years later...)

"That's it! It's been forever! Where's the so called the-destined-future-saver girl?" Witch yelled to no one in particular. Wizard was the only one there, but ignored her like she was nothing but a spec of dust. This made Witch infuriated. She marched up to Wizard and placed herself in front of his view.

"Hey! Aren't you going to do something about this? It's quite obvious that the crystal she gave you was wrong, and here we are just wasting time sitting here doing nothing, when we probably could've revived it by ourselves!" Nothing came out of Wizard; he just sat there reading his astrology book. Witch's veins were very visible by then.

"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?" Witch screamed at the top of her lungs, but again, no answer. Witch gave a frustrated groan, but stopped as a plan pops in her head.

"O.K. then, fine, don't help me, I'll just revive the stupid tree by myself." Witch started to leave Wizard's house with her nose in the air. That's when Wizard gave an answer; he knew this will not go well.

Wizard followed Witch out of his house and to the Divine Tree, the Harvest Goddess's tree. Witch pulled out her spell book she kept in handy, and started to flip through the pages.

"I don't… think… that's… a good… idea." Wizard warned, but Witch gave no heed to it and started reciting the spell.

Witch's voice echoed out towards the tree, the words peeling off the page and slowly moving forward to her destination. When the words almost reached the tree, the words suddenly jumped backwards and aimed themselves at Witch. Witch gave a gasp right before a large puff of pink swallowed her up. Wizard looked outwards as he waved the puff of smoke away from his face, coughing in the process. He stared at the spot where Witch once was, and what replaced her, a pink frog. Wizard only gave a blank stare at the frog version of Witch as she started jumping upwards croaking in anger.

"Maybe… this will… teach…. you about patients…" Wizard stated with little emotion, and just simply walked away back to his house.

Wizard made it back to his house, giving no concern to Witch, even in her frog-like state, she'll still be able to get into her own house, besides, she knew what was coming, just not smart enough to understand it. Wizard walked over to his crystal ball, and stared at the figure covered in a velvet blanket. He pulled the blanket off and stared at the crystal hidden underneath. The young girl has not changed one bit, looking exactly the same as she was on the day she was handed to him; it was obvious why she didn't change though, as of being a magical being himself, he didn't change at all since that day either.

Wizard placed the blanket back over the crystal and moved his thoughts to the Divine Tree. The tree was getting weaker, the magic that was hidden within it to keep it alive, it's starting to fade. The Goddess is going to be cleaned off from existence if the magic completely disappears from the tree, she then will be no more. He noticed people today didn't believe in her, the sprites, or that even magical being existed, and those who did, hunted them down.

Wizard looked up at the sky and gave a faint wish, a wish hoping that the pure-hearted one will be here soon.


I hope this is okay to you guys. ^^ This just came up in my head, so I'm like, "I must type this down or it'll dissapear!" I hope you'll stay for the story too! ^_^
