The black crystal chapter 1

I looked at the floor. The same floor that once had stood the horrible Deathevn. I froze. It was over. Ryu looked at the same point. He had finally revenged his mother's death. I came close to him and put a comfort hand on his shoulder. His nightmare was finally over.

"Nina", he said in his sweet gentle voice.

"it...is it over?", Bow asked. I nodded with my head. "Yea... We cool, We hot", katt scream in her childish voice. I smiled. "Let's go home", Ryu commanded. And so we did.
*** 1 month later

I was in my room. A few minutes ago I said goodbye to Ganer, Ryu's father who sat with me and taught my magic. He is my new teacher now. But there is one thing I cannot take out my mind. It's my wing. He had kept looking at them (After a month his eye-sight got batter and he could see, at least shapes). Valerie had wings as well. Could it be the reason? Could it be that in some way I remind him her? Oh, it's kinda hard To Know that, to think that every time he looks at me he will remember her and this will cause him a lot of pain.

"Poor Ganer", I said to myself.

I took a brush from the table and moved it gently on my long golden hair. Something was not right. It was too quiet. It had been almost a month since that day... and I felt how everything had changed.

Sten was the first to go. It was Ryu's courage who made him go and face his problems with Torbo and the princess. It turned out great and he married her.

But he wasn't the only one. Bow and Selvia got married as well. She had a little sympathies with him but after saving the world, all that she want was to marry her shiny silver knight.

Jean decided to take his life more seriously.He is ruling Simafort Now, with reason and happiness like only he knows how.

Katt and Rand stayed with us but sometimes they left the town for some kind of power show called "Power Contest" which have been arranged more often in Colsium and even in our own town.

Spar is the only one that I see more often. We love to talk a lot and share information with each other.

But.

...I kinda love to be with Ryu. We don't spend much time together but when we do we usualy go on a fishing trip (he fishes and I watch him ^_^) and then we just talk. We both have suffered the same pain. I have lost my family and so did he. He, because of his destiny, I .... because of my black wings.

I am looking at them now.

Ryu loved to look at them. He told me, a few times how special they are. It made me to feel warmth and happines inside. For a reason I wanted to talk to him and tell him a thing or two. I remembered what Bleu had said me before she left.

Katt and I were sitting near the town exit when I saw her leaving. She was in a hurry. "So where are going", I asked. "I'm leaving dear", she said. "But why? We need you. you helped us a lot back then, and I'm sure that you will be an aid to us in the future. "I don't think so. if I do all the work around here what will you do? ", she laugh for a moment and then countined, "just kidding, I think you are doing a good job on your own. I'm very tired you know. and beside they have you, don't they?".

I was shocked. It was one of the few times that Blue said something nice about me. "Then I'll study even more, and I'll become even stronger then you", I said. "No way", she said. We both laugh. She kept moving and then she turned around. "Tell him!", she said. "What are you talking about? ", I asked. Then I heard a voice calling at my name. Irony enough, It was Ryu. "Just a moment", I yelled him back. I wanted to understand what Bleu had said but when I turned around again she was already gone.

"Tell him", her voice was still in my head. Now I understand what she was trying to tell me. But when I finally had enough courage, Ryu had already left with Bow on some strange mission for Kilgore. Man, why do I have a bad feeling about it

***

"Remind me again, buddy, why we have to do this?" the dog clansman, also known as Bow asked his blue hair friend.

They were in a middle of nowhere climbing on a huge frozen mountain.

"Don't look at me!" The blue hair man said. "It was your fault that we are here from the first place".

Bow looked at his friend, usually a quiet guy. 'For once, I wish he could keep his silence', he said to himself. He then remember the previous event.

He remembered how he and Ryu came to the big apartment of Kilgore. The man said something about family treasure he was trying to find. He said that long ago there was a group of powerfull magicians, until one day they disappeared. Strange enough all that had been remained from them was a shiny little black crystal which had been hidden by the ancient men who was afraid of their magic power.

That mysterious black crystal however was once found by Kilogre's grandfather who couldn't bring that jewel back because he was attacked by a mysterious beast and barely survive the meeting with him. As a child, Kilgore was always afraid of that story, but after Deatheven was gone, he had a dream where he saw the black crystal calling him... The voice mentioned that only the chosen one may revive the legend. The only chosen Kilgore was able to think of was Ryu, but the only way to make him go, was to make Bow go as well... So in order to convince the dog clansman to aid him he showed them a case with a lot of jewels.. Bow's eyes were lited by the shiny jewels and Ryu knew that there is no way to convince him to do otherwise. But watching Ryu, Kilgore knew he had to convinced him as well, but how? He went to Ryu and showed him a beautiful ring made from green jade and blue sapphire.

"I have been told that this ring was wear by the first light dragon Kaiser's wife. If you help me I will give it to you. She will be happy and you know it". Only the thought of her joy, made him agree to take the mission on...

"So who da ya thinking of?", asked Bow cutting his thinking. "What?" asked the surprised blue hair man. "Oh come on buddy, you can tell me, I heard what Kilgore said... So who is the lucky girl that my shy and yet brave man had fall in love with? ", asked Bow.

Ryu was completely embarrassed. Sure Bow was his best friend and all, but could he really tell him...When he even couldn't tell her...Bow knew from his friend expression that he was not ready to talk to anyone, at least not at that moment, so, as a good friend, he changed the subject. "How long till we get to the Top?" He asked.

"Not so long, I can see the top from here and we are not that far" Ryu answered and they continued to climb...

"Are you all right Nina?" asked Ganer.

I woke up from my thoughts. "Yes", I said and he nod. He alredy knew me and my strange behavior.

"Shall we continue? " he asked.

"Why not? I am fine", I said and saw his, " I don't believe you", look on his face. "I am fine", I said again.

"Well then please demonstrate what I had taught you", he said.

I closed my eyes and let my body to fill with energy. I started to call in the spell name, but then I saw a vison. "NO", I screamed.

***

"Nina", Ryu said suddenly.

"What's the matter buddy? " Bow asked.

"I saw Nina", Ryu replied. "Must be one of your daydream", Bow said.

"No Bow, I really saw her and she acted like if something bad is about to happend", Ryu said.

"Like what?" Bow asked.

Suddenly the ground started to shake.

"I think we are about to find it out", said Ryu..

To be continued.
