Prologue: "Flashback"
Rue trudged through Carona forest, his feet moved slowly and his steps were heavier. Every pause between his steps got longer and longer. He dragged his Arc Edge with his right arm, which was limp, and his left arm was grasping his right. His shirt had many scratches on it, and most of it was bloodstained. He had a giant gash on his left cheek, stretching from the bottom of his ear to half his eyebrow. His left eye was shut and his whole face bore his pain. Rue couldn't take this anymore and he collapsed. "…Dammit Mint…" he murmured. He tried to stay conscious as long as possible. He noticed his hat resting on a rock some feet away, thrown there by the force of his fall. His snowy hair was pulled in the same low ponytail, and his untamed three spikes blew in a slight breeze. The wind blew on his face and made him feel somewhat better, but something was wrong. Other than his body injuries, his head hurt worse. It throbbed and ached, and repeated his past tragedies. Rue closed his eyes, letting out a single tear, which froze on his cheek. A few specks of snow drifted down and lay on his burning brow.
Rue looked around himself. Wasn't he just in a forest? This was an atelier of some sort. He shook his head. He remembered this place…Valen's Atelier. The place he dreaded most. "Must be a dream or somethin'…" he whispered to himself. He heard a thud behind him. He turned and was smashed back. He was slumped against a wall, his head drooping on his chest. Rue looked up to see a familiar sight. Claire hovering before him, her hand stretched vertically, an emerald colored ball of energy building above her hand. He knew that this wasn't the actual Claire. Valen's spirit had been resurrected by an unknown force and had gotten back into this dimension, finding Claire's body. Rue's Arc Edge was strapped to his back and one of his ankles was sprained. He was done for. "Well…" he thought aloud to himself, as the energy ball grew larger. He gave a small smirk. "At least its me going instead of-"
"Gizmo=Gia=Gias!" cried a familiar, childish voice. Rue and Valen turned toward it. "To you, born of dew I command-" Rue let out a gasp. His body began to burn. His hat flew up and floated off. His wild spikes blew in a wind conjured by the spell. Flashing lights were everywhere. He tried to look at the one who repeated the spell, but the force of the spell was too much for him. "Accept your destiny, and…and…. and….." it continued. Rue managed to turn his head in the direction of the voice. Mint! "….And…release your p-aaaahhhh—" She fainted. The breeze left and the lights faded. Mint lay still. Rue tried to get up. Valen seemed shocked. He flew over quickly and levitated the girl. She was still alive, because her eyes flared open. She dropped the rings she held. Her arms were pulled close to her body. She screamed in shrill pain.
"Mint! Hold on!!" Rue shouted over her. Valen was crushing her with his powers. "Mint! I'm coming!! Don't go!" She turned her head slowly toward him, and gave a grim smile. "..And re..Release your.. Powers!" she managed. Rue was suddenly filled with unimaginable strength. She began screaming more painfully, and Rue, tears in his eyes, jumped up with his Arc Edge, aiming a powerful blow to his head. He jerked back with a surprised and angry look. Mint stopped screaming and smashed to the stone floor with a sickening thud.
"Mint!!" Rue shouted, and began running to her. Valen conjured a quick ball of fire magic and threw it at Rue, then evaporated with and evil cackle.
The fire landed between Rue and Mint. The force threw Rue back, but Mint attempted to get to her feet. The whole atelier was burning down, and quickly. Rue got up and shook his head to rid it of pain and falling embers. Mint stood up, her energy almost fully back.
"Rue!" she yelled happily in her laughing voice. She began running toward him, but a sudden ring of fire emerged around her. Trapped.
"Mint!" Rue cried, throwing out an arm. He tightened his grip around his Arc Edge and a glare forced on his face. He ran forward and threw a gust of his energy at Mint, knocking her down, but extinguishing the flames. She struggled up, but before getting to her feet, a kind, gloved hand reached in front of her. She glanced up, seeing the tall boy with the snowy hair and protective appearance with the shiny shard of Dewprism in his forehead. He was glowing red because of the surroundings. His body and clothes were singed. Mints heart began to beat wildly. A true, caring smile appeared on her face, and she stared into the dark brown eyes while slowly put her hand in his. He yanked her onto her feet and they stared into eachother's eyes for a moment. Rue jerked his glance up, seeing a chunk of stone plummeting toward them. He jumped back and yanked Mint up, holding her to his chest while the rock smashed into the ground just feet from where they were standing. Mint stood against his chest with a shocked look on her face. A patch of red began to form above her nose and she smiled, resting her head on Rue's chest. They heard a sickening crack, and pulled away from each other, glancing upwards.
"We must get outta here, quick! Look-the roof is caving in!" Rue sternly stated. Mint saw the roof breaking and looked back at Rue, hoping for instructions. A stern, troubled look swirled in his eyes. He glanced at the entrance, blocked by boulders. Mint gasped. Rue grabbed her arm and fiercely dragged her to a nearby wall. He said nothing but began to hack at it with his Arc Edge.
A big hole burst open. A look of achievement flared in his face. He wiped his brow, which was full of dirt and sweat. Mint felt a rumble and looked up. Ceiling was caving in more right above them. There was nothing she could do. She pushed Rue roughly and he fell through the crack he had made. When he landed on the ground, he looked back. Mint was in the atelier still. With tears in her eyes, she waved to him. Then, the whole ceiling came down. Rue stared at the atelier, which was now a pile of flaming ruins.
