A/N: Welcome folks, to the beginning of my very first fan-fiction, about an anime I recently discovered. This is but a small taste of the story, as I plan to make it quite a long one, and with longer chapters of course. It will have a similar storyline, but with an "OOC" Saito, and some twists and additions. Your inspirations and constructive criticisms will be most welcome! Enjoy!


The familiar of Zero:

The dark descendant

by Hat'n'cloak

Prologue

Blood filled the sky. The sun was bleeding, as its dying light disappeared behind the horizon. Horror and despair kept him running through the darkening streets, and yet he had nowhere to go. His heart felt numb with pain, while his mind was filled with chaos. People all around watched impassively as he ran, completely unaware of his wake nightmare. The artificial lights of Tokyo stared at the teenager like thousands of dead eyes, unlike anything they seemed to him before.

Yes, this evening is like living hell, if your name is Saito Hiraga.

Why?...Why is this happening?

And so he ran for hours, for an eternity, it seemed to him.

Dead...how...HOW CAN THEY ALL BE DEAD?!

His throat had long given up on screaming, and he had no more tears to cry.

Too weak...cant go on...not anymore...when I'm...all...alone...

Finally, even his legs gave out, as he slowed down and fell. He welcomed the pain of the impact, as this seemed to be the end, at last. His end.

No...it cant be...have to...move...fight...

That was when he saw it. The light of hope itself had manifested right in front of him! It was warm and inviting, promising salvation, far away from this world. He didn't understand why, hut he had to reach the light at all costs! With his last strength he crawled towards it, until he finally made contact...

And then all was gone.
