Chapter 2
Blazing Sun and The Glittering Moon Light
One Late morning the sun was just just coming up and two young wolves were happily playing around in the moon and sun's rays. Needless to say they were unaware of what was about to happen to them, "Crimson can i ask you why do you love me so much" Luna asked Crimson as they take their rest in the shade of a the willow tree that lies in the middle of Natures forest. Natures forest is a luscious green place that has many animals, mostly proned to have scared wolves in this forest yet not many live here any more for mankind drove them out with their wild intentions to take down the forest since this part of the land held most of the wildlife that would said to be the best of its kind. Crimson stares at Luna and responds, "I Love you for who you our and for what u do to make me happy. I can't stop loving you for the fact that i want to be with you forever and ever no matter what happens i'll stay by your side," Luna starts to cry cause she knew that her one and only love Crimson was telling her the truth.
Just at the moment when both sunlight and moonlight met they noticed something strange about the air and the wind stopped blowing. At that moment they both knew something was up and need to get ready for any that was about to come at them. Needless to say the threat that they sinced was closer than they thought. This unknown force made the surrounding area that they were in glow with a mystery the light got brighter they both seen each other in the light and seen that one had a light of red and a light of blue not knowing was what was going on they tryed to get near each other and protect one another. As they got closer they were forced back by the unknown danger. The light engulfed the both of them and when the light faded they had changed not knowing what had happened they start to head out the nearest exit out of the forest trying to get away from whatever was chasing them.
"Luna our you all right?" Asked Crimson as he pants from running all that way from the forest and not stopping. Luna looks back at Crimson trying to catch her breath. "Yes...I'm... Fine..." Says Luna out of breath. Finally settling down from that long a panicking event they decided to take a rest in the open field of Mu, "What was that light Crimson? I've never seen anything like it before, have you?" Asked Luna as they lay next to each other. "If i knew i would tell you." Replied Crimson. "I think we'll be safe here for now lets take some time and rest for the sun to come up and then we'll find someplace safe to stay." At that moment Crimson started to notice how much Luna shined in the light of the moon, "You're as beautiful as ever tonight my lunar wolf." Committed Crimson to Luna as she lay next to him.
As the two start to cuddle with each other they have no clue what's going on around them or happening to them at that moment. The morning sun rises and about half way through it rising the two set off into the sun rise."Crimson where are we going to go now that our forest has been taken over by some unknown force that we can't see? Asked Luna with a tear in her eye. Crimson thinks to himself for a few minutes about a place that he had heard the other wolves talking about being a majestic place that they said could help their time of need.
"What was that place called ?" Crimson asks himself. When looking for the town of Ladrones look for a crystal that is green in color. A very odd looking rock this rock is called a Olivine Crystal. When found this crystal will lead you to the very place you're looking for. Crimson had the thought flashed through his mind as they were walking and remembered it was South of the forest that they had just left. " I know where we're going now, lets go Luna." Crimson says to Luna with a smile on his face.
The two start heading south from the forest and on their way to their new destination. About a half a days walk they start to notice things different about them self. Crimson himself had this ability to listen to the surrounding nature and use the suns ray to his advantage still not knowing how to use them. He tries his best to use the suns rays, but with no luck gets barely a spark of ray to fire from his sides. Luna jumps back when she sees this happens and for some odd reason she make a barrier around her. "Crimson what are you doing?" Luna Snapped at Crimson not knowing that the barrier was around her. "I don't know, what's that surrounding you Luna?" Asked Crimson Calmly to her as she now seeing that shes being protected by something. "It looks like some kind a of barrier i think its made out of light." Luna said in shock. Luna calms down and the barrier disappears and she thinks to herself, "I wonder if i can do that at any given time?" So she tries it again and fails but she did see it start to form and keeps trying till she gets it right. "Crimson i want to try something keep trying to do that sun ray thing and see if u can hit me don't hold back ." Demanded Luna to Crimson.
Still trying to get his new found powers to work he looks up at her and says, "What!? Why do u want me to do that to you? I would feel bad if i hurt you." Said Crimson to Luna. She smiles and says, "come on it's not like i'm asking you to kill me I just want to see if this works." Now pointing at the barrier around her when she says that to him. " Fine but if this ends bad i'm not going to forgive my self." Said Crimson. At that moment Crimson tries several times to fire the suns rays at her and on the tenth try gets it to work . He missed of course and her getting mad at him says, " why did u miss?" Crimson looking half relieved he missed and confused when she ask him that says to her, "fine i'll do it again but don't expect me to do this again."
Crimson take careful aim and yeals, "Solar Ray,AHH!" Firing the ray at her Luna preps herself for the impact. The blast lands contact with the barrier and bounces off it and lands on the ground about ten feet behind her. Crimson confused even more now couldn't think of a word to say when he sees her unharmed, slightly relieved that she was fine finds the words to ask her, "Luna did you just bounce my attack off and send it flying?" Luna looks behind her and sees where the blast had landed and laughs. "Well that went well. Not where i wanted it to land but it works." Replied Luna. Crimson not knowing what she meant by that starts to wonder if she was trying to reflect it back or something.
"So why did u call it Solar Ray Crimson?" Asked Luna trying to make him not wonder any more about what she was trying to do. Crimson wondering the same thing couldn't respond. Off in the distance a wandering traveler sees the blast hits and start to get closer to where he thinks it came from. "It just came to me as i was about to fire the suns rays thats the first set of words that came to my hea..." Crimson stops abruptly. "Someone is coming we need to hide." Crimson said in a rather harsh voice to Luna not knowing she had already sensed the same person coming. They both run behind a big boulder that was off to the side of the path that they were taking to where Crimson believed the town of Ladrones.
The man was walking up and both Luna and Crimson was peaking around the corner and seen that this man was carrying several weapons on his back and his side. The man stopped and sat their for a minutes looking around trying to find out what cause the blast. The man sits down and sets down his weapons upon setting them down the man turns his head towards the boulder that Luna and Crimson were hiding behind. "You can come out i know you're there." Said the man in a loud voice so that the two can hear him. Luna looks at Crimson and ask, " What should we do he knows we're here?"
Crimson makes a decision and walks around the corner slowly ready to attack at any moment in case the man would attack him." Stand down boy there's no need to be hostile with me i'm friendly. I won't harm you or your lady friend over there." Said the man sitting on the ground calmly. Crimson kept his guard up but slowly went near the man and said, " What's you're name, and what's your reasoning for being here?" Demanded Crimson. " My name is Ralic I'm a Master of Weapons nice to meet you young wolf." Said Ralic with a confused look on his face looking at Crimson not knowing if he had be hit by the blast he seen and now seeing things with this wolf talking.
" May i inquire you name my young lad?" Asked Ralic. Crimson introduced himself and singled Luna to come over saying it was safe. " Well who do we got here? My what a beautiful young lass we got here and your fur is glowing like its been recently shined." said Ralic to Luna. "My name is Luna its nice to meet you Ralic, but you still haven't answered our question why are you here? And thank you for the compliment." Replied Luna to Ralic. "Ah I had almost forgot that. I had been traveling and came across a blast when a blast almost hit me out of nowhere so i came to investigate and found you two."
Luna looked a bit embarrassed remembering that she had reflected the blast away that Crimson had shot at her in their test of the barrier. " I'm sorry if that had almost hit you it was intended to be shot back at him but i messed up and threw it back cause the force was too strong." trying to not make eye contact with Crimson as she said that. " I knew it you were trying to hit me with my own blast!" Yelled Crimson now mad at Luna.
Ralic starts to laugh so hard he falls over in pain from laughing too hard and says to the two, " Now thats amusing if i say so myself." Slowly laughing now he gets up and say to Crimson, " If i may can i test this power of yours on?" Crimson shocked shakes his head yes, slightly mad about the fact of what Luna had said gets ready to take his anger out on this stranger named Ralic. Ralic turns around to grab his weapon from his stack of weapons and pulls out two small sabers.
" They look like they can break at any moment Ralic are you sure thats the weapon you want to use?" Commented Crimson slightly laughing at Ralics choice of swords. Ralic just smiled and beckoned Crimson to come at him with all he's got. Crimson now more pissed than ever charges at him with all his might. Swift as the wind Crimson disappear in the blink of an eye Ralic pretending to look around for him gets ready to guard himself from Crimsons attack say, "Come on a trick like this is common, unless you new to this power of yours and don't trust it yet." After a few flashes of coming in and out of sight Crimson went head on towards Ralic. Both collided with each other and made a fierce wave of power. Crimson thought to himself, "This human is powerful, how strong can he be?"
The two struggled for a minute with each others strengths at the moment when they were about to take a draw Crimson remembered he can use that power of the sun to his advantage. Both of the back off with a fierce swing one of claw and the other of blade. At the moment Crimson took his glance off of Ralic singling Luna to get ready he was about to use this new power again just in case it backfires. She understood and got herself ready. " Come on laid I know for a fact thats not all you got I said come at me with all you got!" Yelled Ralic panting. Not knowing what Ralic had just enforced he felt the wind change and at that moment the wind had stopped all together. " This isn't good." Ralic thought to himself.
"Time to finish this little fight Ralic." Crimson said in a harsher voice than before when he last used his solar ray. Ralic looking around for his weapons saw that he had been tricked to leave them from his side. "Good move laid now hit me with all you got." Claimed Ralic. Crimson started to focus all his thoughts into this one blast. Taking careful aim he fires, " SOLAR RAY!" Screamed Crimson. The blast bigger than before Luna makes her barrier strong than ever protecting herself just incase this happens to backfire not taking her eyes off the fight.
Ralic just stands there and lets the blast come to him and takes the two swords and make them into a cross shaped figure."Now thats what i call power but its time to show you why it wont work on me young laid." Ralic claimed calmly. Bracing himself for impact he stands his ground as the force of the blast hits him then the blast come next.
The explosion was bigger than they thought both Luna and Crimson was surprised that the stranger took it head on and now was wondering if he was all right. In front of Crimson sands a thirty foot stack of smoke from the blast that he had released. Waiting for the smoke to clear to make sure that if their was anything left of the stranger that they would berry him for being foolish and corsages.
The smoke cleared after about five minutes and both Luna and Crimson heard coughing. " Well i'm a bit surprised laid that was a hell of a blast you had made." Slightly relieved and confused both Crimson and Luna help the stranger out of the hole from the blast.
" I must say that was one tough fight and I'm hard to impress." Committed Ralic. " But you got a long way to go before you can truly say u our good to protect others like you're young lass over here." Ralic said to Crimson in his ear. Getting back by his weapons he sits down and take a long break from the intense fight that he just had.
He Reaches into his bag that was in the middle of all the weapons and pulls out a smaller bag and says to the two, "Hope you're hungry it's been a long day for me and i'd like to get some food in my stomach." Laying out the food for all three of them to eat. As the three of them eat they start to have a little chat amongst each other. "So i got a question for you Ralic?" Said Crimson. "Ralic glanced over at Crimson and nodded to him as a reply. "Why do you carry so many swords with you? It seems a bit much for one person to carry if you ask me, but this is the first time i came in contact with a human that can take me on." Asked Crimson. Ralic Pondered this for about a min or so and then replied, "I travel with all these weapons so i can use them when I feel its right to use them. Also on the fact of using them I'm a master swordsman traveling to become better with any and all types of weapons."
After about an hour has past they cleaned up their mess and got ready to set on their journey to the town called Ladrones. Unbenounced to them they didn't know that they were being followed by some strange group, just so happens to be the group that ran the wolves out of their forest. As the three of them trained and traveled to the town of Ladrones they found themself in a bit of a rock and a hard place. Just about three days walk to Ladrones they got stuck when the unknown group that had been following them caught them in their night of camp and ambushed them while they slept.
The night silence was sliced away by the scream of help from Luna being dragged away from the camp, "CRIMSON, RALIC HELP ME PLEASE!" Screamed Luna as shes was being dragged away. Crimson waking up after hearing this realizes that he wasn't having a dream it was really happening. "RALIC!" Snarled Crimson trying to wake up Ralic who was in a deeper sleep than before. Ralic waking up slowly looks up at Crimson and says, "what's wrong Crimson why do i feel so heavy?" Neither of them noticed that they were being put to sleep by some powder.
Ralic seeing what it was finally and yelling at Crimson, "GET AWAY FROM THE CAMP ITS SLEEPING POWERED!" Running from the camp only grabbing one sword to use for a fight. But when they got far enough away they realized that the people who had taken Luna was gone already. Crimson now furious and raging starts to take his anger out on anything that came in contact with him he didn't care who it was. "Calm down Crimson we'll find her you just need to calm down." Demanded Ralic. After about Thirty minutes of rage Crimson finally calmed down but not without a price he was weakened from his rampage and rage. "Crimson" yells Ralic but Crimson not able to hear too well fades out and passes out in the middle of the field.
About two weeks had passed and Ralic had taken Crimson to the town called Ladrones, the town that Luna and Crimson was traveling to. Ladrones the town of seas surrounded half by land and half by sea, beautiful all around this town holds a lot of mystery to people who never been here before. The quietness of the town was relaxing. Just as the day was half over in Ladrones Crimson finally awoke from his long sleep. "Ugh... Where am I at?" Asked Crimson slowly getting up from the bed not knowing where he was. "You're in the town Ladrones." Said a small female voice. Crimson Startled and half awake looked at this small woman. Confused as to what he could think of her friendly or foe?
