Title: lost kingdoms

Summary: Four hero's. The prince of light, a water sage, a healer and a boy with no past. Now travel through out the kingdoms to find the true heir to the realm of darkness and to put a stop to the new queen of darkness who wants the lost prince for her self. When the four seem to not be able to find the prince they realise that he is closer than they think…

A long time ago, when the kingdoms of darkness and light formed a small treaty to help each other against the kingdom of crill. The treaty was broken, and the heir to the throne of darkness was stolen. After the news that the heir was stolen, the kingdoms that allied with the darkness were devastated.

Soon they took the matter in their own hands and now fight for the throne. But few remain loyal for the prince and wait for his return and now they still protect the throne praying that their prince will return to them…

Stage 1

The kingdom of light. Its walls, painted bright white, stood tall and high around the city. Its grassy plains stretched out far into a white treed wood and beyond that who knew what lay their. Only a few ever ventured out of the city, for its white houses were well protected and the kingdom was full of light. Just like each kingdom it held its own sun that shone brightly above the place.

The place was tall and beautiful. It had pure white walls hinted with gold. The doors were bright yellow shimmering gold with engraved patterns. Inside the walls were also white. Carpets of fine laced gold laid against the cold floor. A sweet sent of vanilla lingered in the air. The prince had always smelt like vanilla, his white robes where always shimmering under the rays of golden light and his hair shone like the sun. His golden eyes were the same shade as his hair but for some unknown reason they were cat like, for a black slit faintly parted his eyes in two.

The prince of light walked throw the empty halls. His white coat went down to his ankles like his hair, and held small hints of gold. A cross was tightly tied at the end of his long ponytail. He silently glided gracefully across the floor.

Water glistened. The fine blue waves swished and turned. Their calm voices sung to him. His hand drifted over a few waves and in response a small blob of water arose under his hand. Slowly the boy twiddled his fingers changing the water into various shapes.

The boys hair was a sea blue that was waist length just like his cold blue orbs. His robe was of dark blue, and so was his hat. He was stopping in the kingdom of light, after a long trip that he had just had. Now his mind was playing on how he could find a way to entertain himself.

A sigh escaped his lips as he dropped the water and moved on further into the city.

"Prince Krad, what is your advice for our soldiers" A man in full armour sat opposite Krad while others sat around them eagerly awaiting the prince to answer. The prince thought hard.

"My advice would to be not to give up hope and to stay strong, tell me how is the fighting going?"

"My prince please allow me to speak" An old night stood his gray hair stuck to his head

"As you know prince Krad the demons from the dark realm have advanced. They are now coming close to our borderline. We have set out troops on the south and west borderlines and we here that the demons are attacking in great numbers, they send their attacks straight after each other. Our men are dieing soon there heads will roll with the other heads that lay there now" He sighed, bowed and then sat down, his old bones wearily placed themselves down.

Krad nodded.

"Well-" He was cut of as the doors swung open. Soon men started to raid the room, swords drawn and ready to strike. The group around the table drew their own swords and stood protectively in front of their prince.

"What's the meaning of this!" One of the guards shouted to the advancing intruders.

A smirk formed on the leaders face. His black hair was half spiky while his brown eyes swirled with blood. He wore a black and white robe over his golden amour.

"Takeshi, we have the place surrounded like you ordered." One of the soldiers made his way towards the enemy soldier. A smile formed on the teen's evil lips.

"Looks like you're surrounded and we have broken your little weak defences and now hand us the prince so that we can just take your kingdom, it would save a lot more lives" He giggled and pointed towards the window. Outside smoke began to rise as people were set a touch with buildings.

"I don't think so" A knight in dull amour made his way towards the prince and grabbed his wrist, the enemy soldiers advanced but the small group protected them. The horseless knight broke one of the glass stained windows and jumped out of it while holding his prince gently by the waist.

"My prince you must leave, now" A blue haired teen came towards them, his dark blue robes stained with a blood red.

"Sir Leon, ill take him out of here" The boy said while tightly clutching his water staff.

"Water mage Satoshi, please take care of him, you know what to do?"

"Yes, I do, come this way prince" Krad followed the water mage Satoshi. He was lead out of the city by a secret tunnel that even he didn't know about.

A bright light filled the end of the tunnel, once they were out the two found themselves in the white forest. The border of the light kingdom. The white trees soon merged into human realm trees. There green bushy leaves pushing each other while small lines of amber sap slid down the brown flakes.

A crow sat on a nearby branch. Its black beady eyes shone as it crowed to a young boy. Purple eyes tinted red looked into the black orbs of the bird. It flapped its wings and soon took of into the sky.

Krad followed the water mage. The two had been walking for hours. Questions filled the blondes mind. 'Why did the kingdom of light get attacked?' He thought. His train of thought was stopped as a knife quickly spun towards the blue haired boys head. He dodge it by an inch.

"What the-" A few spears were sent flying in Krad's direction. Satoshi raised his staff protectively in font of the prince. In one swift move he blew them away.

Blue strands of hair fell. A spear had managed to creep past him and cut his fine blue hair. The mage pointed his staff towards the group of attackers. Water began to gather behind him. His blue eyes were shut tight and he hurled his staff forwards making the water crash into the offending attackers. But unluckily a spear was sent flying towards him and pierced his right shoulder while another one hit near his heart.

"Ghya!" He fell to the ground his left hand closed over the wound near his heart while blood trailed down his other arm.

"Satoshi…hold on" The boy fainted and Krad grabbed him. He checked his pulse. 'Curse low blood pressure' He quickly ran carrying the mage in a bridal style.

Purple. A purple haired figure watched Krad. Golden eyes glanced towards a purple blob that had caught the corner of his eye. A boy stood. His head held low. He then broke out into a run as Krad followed him.

"Wait! Please this boy needs help!" He turned the corner. A village stood in front of him but the boy was no where to be seen. People swarmed towards him and Satoshi. They checked the boys pulse and told Krad to follow them.

Purple eyes watched as the blonde followed the villagers.

"Okay you should feel better soon" A boy with red hair watched as the small boy ran to his mother. She smiled at him and waved her thanks. The boy sighed and sat down only to get up again from the thumping on his door.

"Please I need your help, Satoshi needs your help" A blonde wearing all white cloths stood before him. In his arms was a young boy. Blood died their cloths red.

"Take a seat I will make him better so please don't worry ill tell someone to get you when I'm done" The red head took the taller boy into his room and began to heal his wounds. A hand placed itself onto the prince's shoulder.

"It's alright my son has been doing this for a while so he's quite good at it, come ill get you some clean cloths" a woman with short brown hair smiled towards the teen. Her brown eyes were soft and gentle.

Krad sat down next to the woman. She offered him a cup of warm freshly brood tea. He smiled and took it carefully.

"Miss Niwa…Dai has finished" A young boy in green cloths entered. His brown hair swayed back and forth lightly with the wind. He bowed slightly and left.

"Come let's see your friend" She smiled and led prince Krad out of the room.

"Well? Has my prince been found? And what of that stupid light kingdom?" A girl sat painting her nails. Her brown eyes watched as the black haired demon before her bowed his respects and slowly spoke.

"I'm afraid we are still to locate him, but we have the kingdom of light in our hands…"

"Hah bring him in" She laughed. Her black nail varnish was now lightly tinted with a red.

"Umm bring who milady?" Takeshi kept his gaze on the floor before him. His queen stood. Her blood red dress spiked out on the floor and travelled though the wooden material. Soon the black form burst from under Takeshi. It wrapped itself around his body.

"Stop playing around…where is the silly boy of a prince that rules over the kingdom of light!" She growled her brown eyes became tinted blood red. She walked up to the trapped teen. One of her fine hands cupped his chin. She stared deeply into his brown eyes.

"Milady…I'm sorry…he escaped…" Her fury grew and she released him. The black binds began to slightly tighten on the black haired boy. She walked towards a ball. The ball was a large eyeball connected to a red stand of flesh. She placed a hand over it.

"Show me the prince of light" She watched as the eye ball began foggy and then opened to a small village.

"So are you saying that they attacked my kingdom because of a prince that's been missing?" The old village chief nodded. His old worn red eyes glanced at the young prince in front of him.

"Yes…I'm afraid so…You see along time ago we heard that the prince of darkness had been stolen and that's when everything went down hill. We may only be a small village but I have tried to find the prince myself…but alas I failed…" He sighed and looked towards the floor.

"And in failing…I lost one of my sons…" Red and brown eyes looked to the floor. Daisuke and his mother held saddened faces on there heads.

"I'm sorry…" Krad's golden eyes looked to the floor. The village chief sighed and placed a hand on Krad's shoulder.

"No, no…its okay" He smiled sadly and turned to sit next to his wife.

"We can look for the prince of darkness if you want"

"-Sigh- how are we going to find this prince if we don't know what he looks like?" He took a place on a cold stone and sighed again. He never heard the light footsteps of a black figure.

"…You could ask someone" Golden eyes turned in alert to face the intruder. A black figure stood in the shadows of a large tree. Bright half purple half blood red eyes stared at him. The prince stood up. His eyes never leaving the eyes of the shadowy figure.
