Disclaimer: You know I'm sure that it is pretty obvious that I don't own Ronin Warriors (except Ryo hehehe he's mine! ^_^) Just kidding. I also got some of the names from a book called Crown Duel ( good book you people should go read it) so those aren't mine either but all original characters are. Anyway, now that I am done stating the obvious. Enjoy the story.
Author's note-
Yes, I have decided to continue on with the Ryo/Sakura series. Why you may ask. Well, you readers seem to like it and well I personally like writing them. I just love Ryo! Like that isn't obvious. Anyway, this is pretty much the continuation of A Key to the Past, but I just decided to make it whole nother story in itself. So if you haven't read any of the other stories before this one, I suggest you do or else you won't know what the heck is going on or who they heck anyone is! So enjoy and be sure to review. It really makes my day and gives me motivation to update faster. You would all like that won't you? So anyway here goes the 5th in the Ryo/Sakura series, including a Rowen/OC and a bit of Sage/Alanna on the side. And yes the chapters will be longer than this, but it's just a prologue.
Wings in the Sky
Prologue
The Illusionist fingered the red diamond shaped gem fondly in his hands. Yes, Seriyu had come through with his end of the bargain they had made. He got Sakura to open the door, and Seriyu would give him whatever he wanted. True to his word he did, although he did die in the process. The Illusionist smiled evilly. He knew that what was behind that door the entire time, he also knew that that shadowrunner only listened to Talpa and that once he was released would cause mass destruction, and without Talpa to control it then who knew what would happen.
'Too bad you had to die, Seriyu' he thought in mock pity. 'I could have still used you, but no matter. I can still achieve my ends, and that is all that matters to me.'
Hearing the sound of footsteps, The Illusionist looked up to see a woman, who looked to be in her twenties, with dark hair standing before him. The woman's raven colored haired that was in a ponytail reached to her waist. Her eyes were a deep sapphire blue that matched the color of a tiny mark on her left shoulder. The mark was a circle surrounding the letter M. What looked like vines and chains snaked their way around the letter to give the mark an altogether beautiful appearance.
"I'm tired of waiting here Broadway!" the young girl snapped angrily as she addressed the Illusionist by his real name.
"I know, but we must bide our time." The Illusionist replied calmly as he stood and walked toward the girl.
"How much longer do we have to wait?" she asked. "It's boring here, with nothing to do."
"Yes, I know." The Illusionist replied as he stood in front of her. "But if we attack too soon, then we run the risk of ruining everything."
"So how much longer must we wait?" the girl asked again impatiently.
"Just a few more days Meliara." The Illusionist said. "Just wait a few more days."
Meliara sighed in annoyance as she crossed her arms. "I hope you know what you are doing brother." She said.
"Trust me. Soon, you and I will have everything that we could ever want."
"Alright, I guess I could wait just a bit longer." Meliara said as she turned to leave the room. The Illusionist smiled as we walked over to a window. He stared out of the second story window at the ground below from Seriyu's castle. He had taken it over when Seriyu died. Things were almost ready, all he needed was to wait for the right time, and that would be in a few more days. The Illusionist looked again at the red jewel in his hands.
"I'm going to rule the world." He said aloud. "All with the help of this little crystal."
