Chapter 2: Hareyu the Princess of Light
Before the war, my home was a beautiful place to live. My palace was huge, tall and white. My people loved me truly and respected me as well as my family. I actually grew up without a father figure in my life. My mother is the Queen of the Light Kingdom. Even though it is a wonderful and glorious place to live in, I never had any freedom. I was always supposed to stay inside the palace, studying and being a Princess. I'm sure that's what the life of a Princess is supposed to be, but it wasn't good enough for me. So, one day I snuck outside the palace to get some freedom. Then I met him, a very handsome and wonderful man. He had short black hair and blue eyes. He had a six-pack and tight pecks. His age is sixteen, so he's a year older than me. "Hi, I'm Mamoru." He reached for my hand and kissed it. "And you are?" Mamoru asks. "Oh, I'm Hareyu, hi." "So, your the Princess then." Says Mamoru. He released my hand, stepped aside to let me through and then walked away. I then started walking away to leave the Light Kingdom for a while.
It was all so peaceful. Then I heard a twig snap behind myself. "Calm down, sorry if I startled you." "Who are you?" It was a girl in a light blue dress. Her hair was tied, but long and also light blue and her eyes were light brown. "Why don't you tell me who you are first?" "Very well then, my name is Hareyu, Princess of the Light Element Kingdom. Now, who are you?" "I am Ashieyu, Princess of the Air Element Kingdom." "Pleasure." "Well, Hareyu. It was nice to meet you, but I must return to my home. See you around." Ashieyu says. "Good day." Ashieyu then left and then I started to walk further ahead.
I then stumbled upon a sealed door, almost like mine. Only instead of a white glow, it is a black glow. And I could feel the anger and the hatred upon that door. I could feel pain and fury. I could even feel that I don't belong here and that this is the door to the Dark Element Kingdom. I could feel so much darkness, that I can't even breathe. And that's when I knew that I had to get out of there and fast. So, I managed to get away from that door, but I guess not far enough. Then I felt a whip hit me and it did. I looked up, but there was no one there. Then I looked behind myself and I saw him. "You don't belong here, child!" He then used his whip again and it hit me across my chest, making me fall backwards. "You should have stayed where you belong!" The man had muscles, that I could see. He had long, wavy, thigh-length, black hair, tied into a low ponytail and he had blue eyes. I could feel that he belonged to the Dark Element because of the way he acted. He was also sixteen, that I could definitely tell. His height seemed to be 5'5' and his weight at least 120lbs. He wasn't very bad looking at all; he was actually quite good looking. "I think it's time I ended this!" Then all of a sudden, a lightning blot of light energy hit him and he fell back. "No one messes with my Princess!" When I look, it is Mamoru. "Princess, are you alright?" Asks Mamoru. "Yes, I'm fine." "She won't be for long." "We'll see about that." Mamoru says. Their weapons collided against one another's. The man's sword hit Mamoru and he threw him back. "Mamoru! Are you okay?" Then I see the dark door glowing blacker and darker, possibly because the man is winning. But no that wasn't it, someone was coming through the door and she did. She had very long, wavy, black hair, down to her lower legs and she had red eyes, but they weren't glowing. They are just normal looking eyes. And she had a black dress making her almost look sorceress-like. She walked up next to the man and I guessed he was her fiance. I could see when she spoke or even smiled that she had fangs, almost like a vampire or a cat. "Nice work, Seiya." "I'm screwed." "We need to go, Seiya." "Very well, my Princess." Says Seiya. They didn't leave like she said, but she whispered something to him and he smiled. Then Seiya disappeared. "Where is he?" "Don't ask me, ask him?" She pointed to behind myself and of course I was stupid enough to look. Seiya grabbed my arm and squeezed it hard to where it starts hurting. Mamoru then got up and used his power to try attacking her. "No!" Seiya says. He then released me and ran to protect her. Then Seiya ended up blocking the attack, but managed to get badly injured. Seiya then fell hard onto his back. "Seiya!" I managed to see that on the side of Seiya's head, blood was running down. Only I couldn't see where the wound starts, since Seiya's hair is in the way. "Princess, we better go." Says Mamoru. "Okay." Before we left, we watched her help Seiya up. She held onto Seiya to the door and they both went through it. We found our door and for once I was glad to be home, but I know one thing I would never forget, the anger in her eyes towards Mamoru and I when Seiya had gotten injured. "Princess?" Mamoru asks. "What is it, Mamoru?" Mamoru then got down to one knee. "Princess Hareyu, would you do me the honor of being my bride?" Asks Mamoru. He then presented me with a ring. "Mamoru, yes."
The night had come for the wedding. The night is beautiful and wonderful. Mamoru and I are dancing on the balcony, until we hear screams from inside. When Mamoru and I look, we see some blood on the windows. Then someone comes through the bloody windows. It is a girl I have never met before. She has burgundy hair and brown eyes. Her hair is mostly chin-length, with the addition of long, elbow-length bangs that frame both sides of her face. She rolls her front bangs with a device similar to a hair curler on top of her head. She wears a low-cut red corset with short, light red puffy sleeves and a high collar. She also sports a sleeveless magenta trench coat that flares behind her, which is shorter and pleated in the front. She wears a red choker and a ruby crested, golden cross-shaped medallion, as well as a pair of black, elbow-length gloves, with a pair of golden bracelets above them. Her stockings are the same color as her gloves and she wears red high-heeled sandals with them. "Who are you?" Mamoru asks, as he protects me. "I am Arie, Princess of the Fire Element." "What do you want?" Asks Mamoru. "You." Arie says. "What did we ever do to you?" "Nothing, but I made a promise to someone." Says Arie. "Who?" "The Princess of the Dark Element, Aderianu." Arie says. "Hareyu, run." Says Mamoru.
I run inside to see about hundred's of people are dead. "Hareyu, your alright." My mother walks out from behind a wall. Her hair is the same length as mine and she wears it in a high-ponytail like me, only her hair has turned white since she's older, but she is still young at least in her mid-thirty's. I also have her eye color as well as her face and body structure. Her dress is long, white, strapless and form fitting. "Mother." Then out of no where, Aderianu attacks her from behind with her powers. Aderianu's eyes are glowing white, since they do that when she uses her powers. My mother falls to the ground, but she isn't dead. Aderianu's eyes then stop glowing. "Hello again, little Princess." Aderianu says. Then she walks over to my mother and stands over her. "No, please don't." "Begging me for mercy isn't going to stop me." Says Aderianu. My mother then stands up and stares at her, standing almost identical as she does. They both glare at each other, only my mother isn't going to be able to fight back and defend herself. She looks away from Aderianu for a minute and looks at me. "I'm sorry, Hareyu. But it's my time." "So, then you've accepted your fate!" Aderianu says. She then faces her again. My mother then when Aderianu least expects it uses her powers of the Light, which ends up shocking her and makes her fall back hard into a pillar. I thought my mother had knocked Aderianu out since she had appeared as so. My mother just walks over to Aderianu and kneels down next to her side. For some reason, Aderianu is breathing slower and my mother lifts her up around her ribcage and places one of her hands near her chest to try to make out the pace of her heartbeat. Then all of a sudden, these red glowing markings appear on Aderianu's body. There's one on the middle of Aderianu's forehead almost in the shape of an S or a 5 with thorns and two small circles that look like they have thorns. The other marks are really hard to make out, but they are almost all over Aderianu's body from her arms, legs, stomach and even her back. Mostly the upper back though. They all look like deeply cut symbols. The one on Aderianu's stomach almost looks like it is making sort of a dragon shape, just without the wings and the legs. "What exactly are they, Mother?" "They're a part of her." "But they just appeared out of no where." "Her father did this to her, but it was always meant to be. These markings are part of a prophecy." The markings then disappear back into Aderianu's body. Then when we both least expect it, we both get attacked by Aderianu's Dark power and we end up falling back. Aderianu then gets up almost instantly as if nothing happened to her. My mother then stands up, but it doesn't last long and she ends up getting stabbed through the chest, without any warning and falls to the ground. "Mother, no!" Aderianu then takes her sword out of her. I then run over to my mother, but she is dead. I then look up at Aderianu who is still standing there, but doesn't do anything to try and kill me. Aderianu then starts walking towards me. I then stand up and look the other way in case Aderianu's planning on killing me too. Aderianu then stops when she reaches my side, only doesn't look at me. I then decide to look Aderianu's way and then she looks at me. Our eyes meet each others, only neither of us say anything to each other. Aderianu then looks away and ends up walking away from me. I just watch Aderianu walk away, until she stops, looks over her shoulder and looks at me. When that happened, Aderianu's hair moves in a certain way and for some reason she looks graceful and also beautiful when she does that. Aderianu then smirks at me and turns back the other way. Aderianu then continues walking and then makes herself vanish. Now I only have Mamoru left.
I then walk outside to the balcony and see that Aderianu returned to help Arie fight Mamoru. I then find a sword of our element and for some reason out of anger, I end up charging at Aderianu with the sword in my hands, but she sees me coming. Aderianu's sword collides with mine and I just close my eyes. I then feel some pressure on my sword. When I open one of my eyes to look, blood is running down my sword, slowly. And I see that the point of my sword is in Aderianu's waist. Aderianu glares at me with fangs hanging out, which they always do no matter what she does. "Damn you!" Says Aderianu. She then raises up her sword and then with all her strength she ends up breaking mine into pieces. I just look at the sword in my hands that is completely shattered. Then Mamoru manages to get in front of me. Arie then takes out her bow and arrow and shoots Mamoru in the chest. Then Aderianu stabs Mamoru in the chest and then slashes his throat. Mamoru then falls backwards. "Well, our job is done here." Aderianu says. "You monster!" I run at Aderianu, but she manages to grab me by the neck and lift me off my feet. Aderianu then pulls me a little closer to herself, I am now basically chest-to-chest with her. Aderianu's skin is covered in some sort of black lines that look like veins breaking through. They look worse over Aderianu's eyes because they look like bruises or black eyes with cracking there. Only Aderianu's eyes aren't red like they were just a few minutes ago, they are pitch black now. "Trust me little one, your time is coming!" Says Aderianu. She then throws me next to Mamoru. "We'll leave you to mourn over your losses." Arie says. Then they both vanish. "Mamoru…" I crawl over, kneeling over Mamoru. "Hareyu…" Says Mamoru. He raises up his hand and I grab it with both of mine. "It's over for me. You… are now… the… only one who… possesses… the… Light Element..." Mamoru says. "Please, Mamoru. Don't die, I don't want to be alone." Mamoru then laughs and smiles up at me. "Your not alone… Hareyu... don't… forget… you… also have… Princess… Ashieyu." Says Mamoru. He then gasps, in pain. "I'm sorry… I couldn't… protect… you." Mamoru says. He then dies and then fades away. And I am officially alone now, so I decide to find Ashieyu then her and I will stay together, help one another and protect each other from Princess Aderianu and Princess Arie.
