A/N: I should really spell-check more! I am so sorry about the mistakes! After this chapter I'll go other the other chapters to check them. I will watch my spelling more now. Thanks to the people that pointed this out to me! Anyway, please ENJOY! = P
"I'll tell you the story, of the Shang Flame." Kel looked up and nodded her head before resting it on Kiy's shoulder.
"The stone round your neck, is called a Keritina Ember." Kiy started. "There was a young girl, named Keritina, who like you had power of the Flame. This story is how she got it, and what she did with it."
She was running in the woods.
Running away from a life which had crushed her.
Tripping over logs, and her own feet, the terrified girl scrambled through the dark.
Not caring about where she was heading, just stumbling blindly through it all.
Then suddenly, Lightning struck, and Thunder rumbled.
Strong arms encircled the young girls body.
But no matter how much she screamed and kicked, the figure would not let go!
The person threw Keritina over his back, letting her long hair fly in the wind.
The figure ran with the girl slung over his back, as if she weighed nothing.
After a while they stopped in the middle of a clearing.
Placing the very young woman on a rock, he started a chant.
"To call on the Mother and Mithros.
To arise the flames from It's Hungered Sleep,
Let the Blood Boil, and the Flames Flood,
Lighten the World, where Darkness Hangs,
Burn Love where Hatred Lies.
I call on the Gods and Goddesses,
Grant the World a Warrior where None Other can.
Slip this Spark into the World's Essence,
Making Shang Once Rule Again!"
Then a clap of Thunder roared, and a bolt of Lightning struck the girl where she stood.
Flames entwined it's way round Keritina's body, making her mind buzz, and her skin tingle.
Flames twirled its way round her arm, leaving behind a tattoo of flames.
But the Fire didn't stop there.
It circled her neck, in a thin stream of Flame.
The Man clapped his hands together, and the Fire died down, leaving behind a Flame Tattooed arm, and a necklace with a stone round her neck.
The Man bowed to the girl. He was fading away quickly.
"Good Luck, Shang Flame."
He then disappeared altogether, leaving behind a very confused, and dizzy girl.
Years passed, and Keritina was the strongest warrior in the World.
She was becoming greedy and conceited.
Day by day, wanting more than the role the Gods gave her, which was ruling all the greatest Warriors called, Shang.
This wasn't enough for Keritina. She wanted more and more.
She was angered that the Gods wouldn't give her more, so she made a fire that spread throughout the land. It consumed more than half the World, before the Gods had had enough, and killed the Roaring Beast.
Only twelve Shangs survived the Great Fire.
Those twelve being the most powerful Shangs after Keritina.
The Shang Flame then went into hiding, afraid of what the Gods would do to her.
But no one can hide from the Gods, and they went to the stupid girl in great anger.
The Gods and Goddesses, all agreed that she shouldn't be allowed to live in this world, so they were going to kill her, for all the lives she had taken.
The Shang Flame begged and pleaded, but none of the Gods listened.
Till the Great Mother Goddess had an idea.
They removed the necklace from around Keritina's neck, and locked it in a green chest of Fire.
"One Who Fires,
One Who Flames,
Take away the Poisoning Evil, from this World,
Re-grant the Burning Brightly One admittance to this World,
With a Pure Heart,
To rise, and wash out all Evil,
That hangs like a shadow
round this Globe.
Lock the Keritina Stone in a Chest of Green Fire,
Till a True Shang Flame,
Rises Again!"
Many Shang Flames have appeared since then, and none have succeeded.
There was a long silence, as Kel tried to digest what Kiy had just told her. The words were ringing loudly round her head, remembering every single word. Then Kel asked,
"How far are we to the Shang's Meeting Place?" Kiy, who had a comforting arm round Kel's shoulders rubbed them gently.
"About four days away. The Meeting Place is where the Man in the story took Keritina to become the Shang Flame." Kel shivered, unconsciously. Then Kiy's eyes became teasing. "Ohh, Don't worry! There are lots of good looking boys in Shang Training there! And just think, you'll be in the centre of it all!" Kel looked at her with a smirk on her face.
"I'm sure there are lots of good looking men there as well!" Kel said elbowing her suggestively, before giving her a lusty wink. Kiy went red with embarrassment, as Kel started rolling round laughing on the ground. Good! At least I've managed to get Kel's thoughts off of being the Shang Flame! Thought Kiy.
"Aawww! Is our 'iccle Scorpi in looooove?" the younger girl said with a raised eyebrow. Kiy looked up shocked.
"Goddess, NO! I'M NOT IN LOVE!" this only made Kel laugh harder, as Kiy scowled at her.
"Aahh! I feel like I've hit a Soft Spot!" Kel sung cheekily.
"Are you always this cheeky?" Kiy asked, a grin on her face, and an eyebrow raised.
"Yep! And guess WHAT? Your stuck with me!" Kiy rolled her eyes trying to look serious.
"Goddess, Damn it!" Kel was again rolling on the ground with leaves in her hair. But then Kiy couldn't keep the straight face any longer and joined Kel on the ground.
