I should be stopped. I won't be stopped. I don't know why I was suddenly struck by the urge to write Fantasy AU Haikyuu!, but I was, and I rolled with it. The last thing I should be doing is starting another multi-chapter fic when I'm still working on "You Either Die a Hero," but I posted a snippet from the next chapter of that on my Tumblr ( MapacheLuna dot tumblr dot com) to alleviate my guilt (and to prove that I'm working on it).
I've never played any of these RPG games or anything of that sort, so I apologize if I offend anyone with my representation of the character types. That being said, what follows will be a mish-mosh of information I've gathered from RPG, TV Tropes, and Avatar the Last Airbender (that last bit will make sense later), all after going through the whirlwind that is my mind. In other words: I'm making all of this up as I go. I'm so sorry.
Disclaimer: Mm, I wish.
On the first day, Tsukishima Kei and Yachi Hitoka disappeared without even a whisper, only an upturned herb basket left behind to be found by Yamaguchi Tadashi.
On the second day, Kuroo Tetsurou and Bokuto Koutarou came into town, bringing the news of a missing Kozume Kenma, Haiba Lev, and Akaashi Keiji with them. That same night, Kageyama Tobio and Nishinoya Yuu vanished into thin air.
On the third day, the people were restless and scared. The villages of Fukurodani and Nekoma had only lost one and two people, respectively; why was Karasuno missing four?
The fourth morning brought with it the discovery of an unconscious Sawamura Daichi, and a missing Sugawara Koushi.
By nightfall, a list of all the missing had been put together:
A psychic from Fukurodani. One psychic and one squire from Nekoma. An apothecary, one mage, one weapons master, and two healers from Karasuno.
The fourth night was restless and tense. No one else disappeared.
On the fifth day, Sawamura Daichi, Hinata Shouyou, and Tanaka Ryuunosuke, joined by Kuroo Tetsurou, Bokuto Koutarou, and later, Yaku Morisuke, set out to find their missing friends.
The pace, quick, the mission, urgent. For the taste of dark magic still lingered in the air, and it may already be too late.
This was just the prologue, chapter one should be up soon. This entire thing is going to be super self-indulgent, I am so sorry. But let me know what you think so far. And I'd like to know your guesses about who's who from the Karasuno gang. Feel free to stop by my Tumblr to read me rambling about the behind the scenes stuff too.
