Chapter 1- Sweet Care

The quiet mountain village of Tir Chonaill had travelers coming and going, by horse or feet. Duncan was busy with helping the locals and travelers, and after awhile, had decided to head outside and observe nature at work.

Leaves dirfted off branches, carried by the wind. Duncan inhaled the fresh mountain air and smiled. "How many years does this body have, I wonder? I just hope that Tir Chonaill will stay the same."

"Um, excuse me? Are you Chief Duncan?"

Duncan opened his eyes and looked at a child, standing in front of him. His light blue hair was worn in a disheveled double cut. His green and blue newbie wear was new and had no cuts or wrinkles on them. His dark brown eyes were clear but had a hint of curiosity. He smiled.

"Nao brought me here."

Waking up, he felt a warm sensation all throughout his body. He stretched before taking notice of his surroundings. His body was of a fourteen year old teenager and he felt very curious of where he was. He felt a warm hand placed on his shoulder, causing him to turn. There, stood a slender woman in a black dress, her silver hair tied in pig tails on the sides, her hands rested in front of her. She was like something from another world.

"You must be Rain Sorrow, right?" she asked. The boy looked disgusted with mention of the name. The woman put on a concerned face "Oh, did I make a mistake?" The boy shook his head and cleared his throat. It felt like years since he last spoken.

"I am Rain Sorrow, but that doesn't fit the character of a righteous warrior, now does it?" The woman looked confused. "If you will, may you call me Rain of the Sorrow Clan? Or Rain of Sorrow, that sounds alot better." The woman giggled at Rain's imagination.

"If you want me to call you that, then I will call you that. But I would rather prefer just calling you Rain, ok?" Her innocent face made Rain blush again.

"Uh, sure..." He was trying to remember this woman's name.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself." She held a hand out to Rain. "My name is Nao Mariota Pryderi. Please call me Nao though."

"Nao, right." He shakes Nao's hand. "Miss Nao-?"

"Just Nao."

"Just Nao, got that. Nao, do you mind telling me where I'm at?"

"You're in Soul Stream, the pathway between world's. Although it's just a one way path."

"One way path? What do you mean?"

"Let me ask you this. What are your kind called?"

Rain thought hard. Suddenly, only one word appeared in his mind. Milletians.

"We're Milletians I think." Nao nodded.

"So you do remember. Milletians come from your world, millions of stars away, and appear here. That's when I bring them to the world on the other side. Erinn."

"Erinn? Sounds familiar."

"It should. For a few years, Milletians have appeared in Erinn."

"Few years? I remember Milletians disappearing for decades."

"To the Tuatha de Danaan, it's only a few years. But to you, the Milletians, a few years will seem like decades."

"Tuatha de Danaan? Who are they?"

"They are another race of humans who live in Erinn. They are not native there though."

"So they come from another world?"

"You might say that."

Nao smiled before running the tip of a finger back and forth on her cheek. "But I think a said too much already. Do you have anymore questions?"

"Wait," Rain said, "what are you going to do?"

"I'll take you to Erinn." His jaw dropped. Nao giggled. She reached forward and gave a bag to the young boy. He felt three items in it. "Find Chief Duncan in Tir Chonaill and give him the letter. Are you ready?" She kicked off the ground and hovered in the air. There was a flash of light and the warm sensation took over his body.

Rain opened his eyes but soon shielded them from the sun light. There was a bag on the ground nearby and he picked it up. He examined the bag and found several pockets on the outside and inside of the bag. One pocket had a piece of bread, another with a letter and one with a book. He noticed a boy resting under a tree. He wore a white shirt and a dark green shorts with an orange scarf. Along with that, a large helmet was propped on his head. Rain quickly packed his bag and ran to the kid.

"Hey there!" Rain greeted with spirit. The helmet turned to look at him. The boy then stood up. The kid was shorter than him.

"Hey, you must a new Milletian," the boy said with little enthusiasm.

"Yep, my name is Rain of Sorrow. I'll be the best adventurer in Erinn!" The kid waved his hand, as if brushing the last part of the statement away.

"Alright, you're Rain then. My name is Tin. I rebirthed not too long ago." Rain had a confused expression on his face. "Heh, you'll learn rebirth later. Anyways, here."

Tin took Rain's hand and placed the handle of a short sword. A burst of bright light flew from the sword and a small body floated a small distance from his face.

"Hello master, my name is Eiry. I'm a tutorial spirit." She smiled. "I hope we'll get along." The spirit turned back into a ball of light and flew back into the sword. Rain looked very confused.

"Heh, good luck with your adventure Rain," Tin said. "Know how to fight?"

"Uh yeah, you just swing the sword around until the enemy is knocked out," Rain said with great confidence. There was a large imaginary sweat mark sliding down the back of his helmet. Tin wondered if he should help this kid out or not. But in the end, he just decided to let him go.

"Sure, why not? Go down the path that way to go to Tir Chonaill."

"Thanks Tin," Rain started to head down the path. "See you later."

"That's a one way path pal."

"What?!"

Rain took a running start down the path, which had become steeper, causing to fall and slide down the path before rolling, then falling face flat on the foot of the path. Eiry floated downward.

"Are you ok master?" she asked with concern. He looked up at Eiry with a smile.

"Nothing begins an adventure better than pain Eiry, that's my motto." He got up and brushed the dust off him. He checked all his items to see if they were damaged before continuing towards town. The wind blew and he knew it was time for a new adventure.

…C... yo... he... e…?
