Hello everyone!

This is my new story, The Dark Land OF Light. I really hope you like it!

Disclaimer - Beyblade does not belong to me, boo hoo! :(

Warnings - There will be some OOCness, and the chapters will be short. But hopefully that won't matter.

So, this is a Beyblade story and I have used the character names for my own use so the story will be out of context of the series Beyblade. It is set in medieval times and there is a little fantasy in it also!

Here is chapter one and I hope you enjoy it!!!!

Please leave a review after you've read it!

The Dark Land Of Light

Chapter One
The Land Beneath The Lake

Once upon a time there was a young man named Kai; his eyes were crimson and his skin was pale, his character was quiet, serious and brave. He came from a small village called Koko which was placed in the top of a range of dark snow filled mountains. His people were very poor, their food supply was thin and their hunger was near to killing them. Quiet and unspoken as he was Kai still felt a powerful urge to help his people.

It wasn't fair that his people should suffer so when there were others in the world who had more than enough for their needs; sometimes Kai felt like screaming at the world, he knew he couldn't let them die and he knew there had to be a way to save his people. He hadn't known what to do, hadn't known how to help the only people in the world he loved. They were his friends and his kinfolk so Kai has decided to risk his life in order to help his people.

He'd left his beloved village and travelled down the mountains to where the grass was green and the world was warm; the logical thing to do was to bring his people down here, but there were the old, the young and the sick who were not strong enough to travel down the mountains to this heavenly place. First, Kai had to find medicine that would cure the ill, he had to find transport to help the elderly and in order to that he had to gain the friendship of someone powerful who would help him.

Sitting down by a lake he sighed with tiredness and leant down to splash his face with the cool water; it refreshed him and swept away the fatigue, at least for now. Brushing the hair from his eyes Kai cupped his hand in to the water and brought it back up to drink eagerly the small amount of water.

It tasted almost sweet in his dry mouth and he dipped his hand in to take another drink; the sun beat down on his back warming his skin which had for so long been cold and numb. For the first time in years Kai let his shoulders relax as he pulled the thick jacket from his body and tugged at the collar of his top. He was warm, for the first time since he could remember he was warm.

He sank his hands in to the water watching them under the surface as they moved gently with the motion of the lake; ripples formed round them floating wider in bigger circles which Kai found almost fascinating.

He was about to bring his hands out of the water when his eyes caught another ripple slowly floating out from the middle of the lake, the circle of each ripple were increasing as they came towards Kai. But instead of fading away the ripples only became stronger and the surface of the lake became unstable as the unknown force of the ripples began to writhe.

Quickly Kai brought his hands out from the water as a dark shadow emerged under the surface of the rocking water; the phoenix's eyes narrowed as he tried to comprehend the blackened shapes that began to take form before him. It was all under the surface of the water but as the ripples began to slow and the colours started to slip from the shadows Kai was able to make out what it was under that water.

His brow furrowed as his brain refused to believe what his eyes told him; there were trees, buildings of every kind, there were mountains and forests. Rivers swept down hillsides and waterfalls fell over cliffs. Kai could see a whole world in that lake and suddenly it didn't seem like the surface of the lake was there at all.

Kai peered closer almost not noticing he was toppling over so enthralled he was to study this apparent world in the lake; he wanted to get closer and had a strange need to walk amongst those forests and mountains, to see the cities and buildings, and to touch the land that in all theory should not be there.

It was then that the hand shot from the water and grabbed him; Kai didn't have time to fight back, he fell forward hitting the surface of the water with a splash and sinking down and down, being pushed in to a descent by some uncontrollable force.

Kai tried fight back and swim upward; he was a good swimmer but something was pulling him down and down, something strong and wilful though Kai could not see what it was. His fingers clawed at the water as he struggled; cutting through the water with his hands had no effect and Kai's resistance became futile and weary as his lungs filled with water.

His arms were heavy and his head screamed for oxygen that was not there; he couldn't breathe, a bubble bloomed from his mouth as he unintentionally parted his lips to take breath. Water was crushing his body; the world, the one he'd just been witness to, was forgotten as Kai's consciousness left him, the world turned in to nothing and Kai knew no more.

I know it's short but I hope that doesn't matter!
