DARK CLOUD: A Timeless Adventure By: Jill [Deadheart]
Okay, this is my first FanFic, so please try not to beat me up too bad!!! Cheetah Smith, you're gonna love this. Your story finally ain't one of the only DC stories!!!!! My story starts off quickly, but please don't judge it on the first chapter; it gets much more detailed as the story goes on. Oh, and I tend to use a lot of Japanese while writing, so I'll also put in a quick guide when they pop up!!
CHAPTER 1: The Resurrection Begins
Heavy drops of rain drip down the side of a dark castle as many nameless dancers dance strangely around a glowing casket. Foreign cloth sways from side to side on their arms and legs as they do this peculiar jive, and locks of icy blue hair fall over their faces. Flashes of lightning and booms of thunder indicate a storm outside. But let us direct our attention on the happenings inside this chateau...
Suddenly, a tall woman steps out from the shadows. The lead dancer immediately stops, and all the other dancers stop as well. The mysterious woman's face was covered in a forlorning veil, which conceals both her face and made her look very enigmas; like a dark angel fresh from a fairy tale. She wore a long black dress, with sleeves that fell far below her hands; and the hemline dropped far below her feet- it was a surprise she could walk as elegantly as she did.
The sweaty head dancer tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear and walked over to the woman in black. The woman was almost twice as tall as she, which made the dancer very intimidated as she was spoken to.
"How is the resurrection coming along, Hakura?" The woman inquired.
"It shall be a few more days until he is brought back, M'lady." Hakura replied, bowing as she did.
"WHAT?!? Why is it taking so long?!?"
"Please be patient. This one is harder to resurrect than the last one..." Her voice drifted off as her eyes strayed to the coffin. It had lost its luminous glow, which made both the mysterious woman and Hakura furious.
The other dancers had stopped dancing, and were now slacking around as if they were on a union break...and in fact, they were.
"Why have you stopped?!?" Hakura exclaimed.
"Its our break time!" One dancer retorted. He had pulled out a carton of lo mien.
"YEAH!" Another added.
"Its the union rules!" Yet another yelled.
Hakura slapped her head and sighed. "Damn these volunteer dancers..."
Then, the veiled woman put a hand on Hakura's shoulder.
"It is all right, Hakura my friend," She said softly, "let them be idle for a bit...I suppose HE can wait a bit longer..."
Hakura looked up at her employer. "B-b-but S-Sophia!"
she woman finally removed her veil, revealing the beautiful, familiar face that had shone long before and shook her head. ''it is all right. ' she looked toward the casket. 'I guess you will just have to wait longer, my love.............................................................seda.'
