Chapter 2: The Chess Pieces

In a big, dim lighted room, a man with dark purple eyes and light hair sat on a throne with another weird looking man by his side.

"So, she came to Mär Heaven...interesting. I knew she wouldn't have given up the offer", said the man sitting on the throne.

"What are going to do next, Lord Phantom?",asked the man next to him.

"We're going to bring her here and make her a Chess Piece, of course", chuckled Phantom. "Rolan! Come here". In a few seconds a man with long blonde hair and red eyes came to Phantom.

"Y..yes Phantom?", asked the man.

"I need you to bring that girl I told you about here. You know you can do that Rolan?"

"Yes. I'll bring her here", said Rolan as he walked out of the dim room.

"Excellent", smiled Phantom.

Jenna breathed in the fresh air, until she felt something from deep inside her. Jenna started to sing quietly and gradually got louder. In amazement, Jenna covered her mouth with her hands.

"I sounded better than I did before", smiled Jenna. Jenna's brown hair tossed in the wind and her blue eyes sparkled as the light hit them.

"I wish Emilia was here with me", Jenna though to herself. Jenna couldn't believe how green the grass was and how blue the sky was. It was something out of a story book. Jenna laid down and closed her eyes, but then she heard something. Jenna quickly sat up and looked around. Jenna saw a man with long blonde hair with...wings.

"Is it...a angel?", Jenna wondered. Jenna walked closer to the man to get a closer look. The man looked around her age, around 16 or 17. He also had red eyes. The man noticed her and waved.

"Oh hello", said the man. Jenna walked slowly to the man.

"Umm, do you know where we are?", Jenna asked the man.

"We're in Mär Heaven", exclaimed the man. Jenna finally reached the man.

"Mär Heaven? I never heard of it", wondered Jenna.

"Wait...do you come from another world?"

"Yeah, I'm from Tokyo. I'm Jenna", introduced Jenna. The man wandered off a little until he noticed when she finished her sentence.

"Oh, I'm Rolan", said the man.

"Its nice to meet you"

"Yeah, you too", said Rolan. "...She's pretty cute", Rolan though. Jenna noticed he started to daydream.

"How did you know I was from another world?", asked Jenna. Rolan snapped out of his daydream and scratched his head.

"Well, Phantom brought you here. Oh yeah, that reminds me, he wanted me to take you to him right away", said Rolan as he quickly picked Jenna. Rolan flapped his wings and soared into the sky.

"Oh my god", screamed Jenna as she held Rolan. Rolan held Jenna's body tightly to him as he flew as fast as he can. Jenna closed her eyes shut.

"Are you okay?", asked Rolan. Jenna opened her eyes to see Rolan's shining face looking at her.

"No, I...I never been flying before", Jenna told Rolan.

"We're almost there, don't worry", smiled Rolan. As Rolan smiled at Jenna, she felt something warm deep within her. In a few minutes, Jenna came insight of a floating castle. Rolan flew to the castle and landed on a balcony. As Rolan put Jenna on her feet, she fell down like a rag doll.

"Jenna, are you okay?"

"I'm fine...I'm dizzy, but I'm fine", said Jenna.

"Come on, I don't want Phantom to get angry", exclaimed Rolan as he grabbed Jenna's hand and ran.

"Wait! I can't keep up!", yelled Jenna as Rolan literary dragged her. Rolan got Jenna and put her over his shoulder.

"Sorry Jenna!", cried Rolan as he ran. Jenna started to get a stomach ache as she kept bouncing on his shoulder. After a few more seconds, they came up to a door. Rolan put Jenna down. Jenna was about to fall again until Rolan caught her at the last possible moment. Jenna felt her head and noticed her hair was really messy. Rolan noticed this and helped Jenna fix her hair.

"I can't let Phantom see you like this. Let me help you", said Rolan as she quickly grabbed a hair clip that was on Jenna's wrist and put up her hair in a ponytail. Before Rolan opened the door, for a split second, she saw a earring on Rolan's right ear that looked like a knight from a chess game. Rolan opened the door. Jenna slowly walked in a big dim lighted room, and saw a man with piercing purple eyes and light purple hair sitting on a throne with a creepy looking man at his side.

"Hi Phantom, Peta, I'm back", smiled Rolan. The man sitting on the throne looked at Jenna.

"Come a little closer, please?", kindly said the man. Jenna looked the man and stayed where she was.

"Don't worry Phantom won't bite", chuckled the man next him.

"Don't scare her Peta", Phantom told the man next to him. Rolan lightly pushed Jenna to make her move. Jenna walked slowly towards Phantom.

"My, my, what do we have here. What is your name, my lovely?", asked Phantom.

"I'm Jenna", shyly Jenna introduced.

"What a beautiful name. I am Phantom, leader of Knights and second in command for the Chess Pieces", introduced Phantom

"And I am Peta, a knight rank", smiled Peta. Jenna noticed that Rolan, Peta and Phantom wore strange rings and other accessories.

"Jenna, the reason I brought you here is if you would like to become part of The Chess Pieces", said Phantom as he held out his hand. "Will you join?". Jenna looked at Phantom, then at Peta and Rolan. Jenna remembered when she found herself in Mär Heaven and this was a chance of a lifetime and she wouldn't give it up.

"I'll join", proudly said Jenna as she shook Phantom's hand. Phantom looked at Peta and Peta walked to Jenna.

"Phantom wants to give you this ÄRM. Its called Divine Gaia", explained Peta as he gave Jenna a bracelet that looked like a vine.

"What's a ÄRM?", curiously asked Jenna.

"A ÄRM is a weapon or you could say magic", said Phantom as he leaned his cheek on his hand.

"So I have powers?", asked Jenna as she looked at Peta.

"Well, that a Nature ÄRM, just like some of the ÄRMs I have", said Rolan.

"This is so confusing", quietly laughed Jenna.

"You figure it all out soon. Rolan show her to her room", ordered Phantom. Phantom directed his attention to Jenna again. "You'll start training tomorrow. If you did anything to explain, Rolan will help", Phantom told Jenna. Jenna started to walk backward.

"Thank you so much Phantom...Peta", thanked Jenna as she followed Rolan out of the room. As Rolan closed the door after they exited the room, Rolan looked at Jenna and suddenly hugged her.

"This is so cool! You're a Chess Piece!", happily cried Rolan. Jenna looked at Rolan and said, "Yeah". Jenna giggled as Rolan hugged her. Jenna never been hugged by someone she just met and Jenna would never hugged someone she just met, but Jenna was alright with it.

"You're really lucky that Phantom skipped you up 3 ranks. The others would be jealous that you are a bishop", smiled Rolan.

"Why did Phantom put me in a high rank if I don't even know what I'm doing?", Jenna asked Rolan.

"I don't know", chuckled Rolan. Rolan grabbed her hand and walked through the halls.

"Okay, you're a rank lower than me so that means your room is a floor lower. You're in the same hallway as Mr. Hook, Aqua and Girom", explained Rolan as he walked up a stairway to get to Jenna's room.

"Who are they?", asked Jenna. Jenna though she was going to have a hard time with this.

"They're other bishops. Maybe they'll even help you train"

"That will be nice", sighed Jenna. Rolan came up to a door and opened it. Jenna's eyes widen as she walked into the room. The room was pretty big. It had a nice big bed, a huge window and other stuff Jenna though that was cool.

"This room is huge", happily exclaimed Jenna as she sat on the bed. "Its so soft too". Rolan sat next to her.

"If you think this is huge you should see my room. Only Knights get fireplace in their rooms", laughed Rolan.

"Lucky", whined Jenna. Rolan got off of the bed and walked towards the door.

"Well, I'll see you later. I think word has spread to the castle about you. If you get any visitors you can let them in. See you at dinnertime", said Rolan as he walked out of the room. Jenna gave her good bye and laid down on the bed.

"I can get used to this", smirked Jenna.
