Outlaw Star is not mine
A Fairy Tale
By Hanmyo
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The darkness of the castle seemed to sicken the land of its beauty. High atop a jagged cliff stood the Anten towers. Inside, Hazanko stood over the three warriors. Each one gave off a darkness that couldn't be described. The black consumed the light, melting it into emptiness.
"I have summoned you here for a purpose." Hazanko spoke, his voice deep and strong. "You are to seek out my bride and bring her to me. My extensive plan rests on your success. If you fail, there will be no place you can hide to escape my wrath. Is that understood?"
"Yes Lord Hazanko." They answered in unison.
"Good. Now go, and do not fail. I want her here alive." The three dark figures bowed then swiftly disappeared into the dark shadows.
"I will rule this world, I swear it." Hazanko turned, his long cape whirling behind him and he left for a darker area of the castle.
Hanmyo giggled as she watched Jim plunge into the water. He was starting to get frustrated with his attempts to catch some fish for dinner, but his failure to do so seemed to make Hanmyo happy. He turned to her, an embarrassed grin on his face. He pulled himself back to his feet and took the spear once more taking aim at a near by trout. He focused his mind on that one fish, and then lunged for it. The end of the sharp stick connected with the soft scales of the fish, impaling it on to the wooden staff. Jim held it in the air starring at it. He'd done it. He had actually caught a fish.
He turned towards the bank where Hanmyo sat, "Look, Hanmyo! I..." He looked around and saw she was no longer there. He turned, scanning the area. "Hanmyo?" He waited a second or two but there was no answer. He climbed out of the stream, laying the fish on the ground next to his shoes and vest. Where is she, he thought as he climbed a small, grassy hill. Maybe she was just playing with him. Somewhere inside him told him she wasn't playing. He looked about franticly searching for her. Jim's gaze stopped on a rustling bush. He took a few cautious steps forward towards it. Pushing the branches apart as silently as possible, he peered through. A sigh of relief escape his lips as he saw Hanmyo sitting on a patch of green grass conversing with a small .........glowing orb?
Jim stepped through attracting their attention. "Jim!" Hanmyo smiled at him, "This is Melfina." He glanced at the glowing sphere that fluttered around the purple haired girl.
"A...fairy?" He asked sitting down next to her.
"Yes I am." The sweet voice of a girl floated from the pixie. In a glimmer of bright colored light, Melfina changed. When he unshielded his eyes Jim could see the figure of a tall dark haired girl. She wore a short green dress that held tight to her form. Her long wings shined in the afternoon sun.
"Wow! You're so beautiful!" Hanmyo exclaimed as she watched the fairy kneel down in front of them.
"Stop showin' off." The harsh, grumpy voice of a man spoke out. Jim looked in its direction and caught site of a red haired elf sitting lazily in a tree.
"Oh be quiet Gene. And didn't I tell you to lay off the drinks?" Mel shot a fierce glare at the tall elf, whom held a brown bottle to his mouth.
"Don't you tell -me- what to do!" He continued to gulp down the alcohol.
Jim was a bit taken back by the sight of creatures he'd never seen before in his life. He'd heard of them before from others. Thy were said to be evil creatures that stole children from their parents, but these two didn't seem to be all that interested in that kind of stuff.
Hanmyo and Jim watched as the two of them argued back and forth about random things, when he heard the familiar voice of the winged cat cry through the air. "Jim!!! Jim Where are you!?!?"
"What's the matter Aisha?" Jim questioned, exiting through the green shrub. Aisha came to a halt in front of them, gasping for air.
"You're father.... house... hurry!" Aisha looked up with scared feline eyes. Jim nodded and grabbed his boots and vest, slipping them on and ran off forgetting the fish. Hanmyo ran a few steps behind him, carrying the exhausted Aisha in her arms.
Gene and Melfina had long since seized their bickering and were following them curiously.
Jim starred wide-eyed at the broken in door of the tree house. He took a careful step inside, motioning to Hanmyo to stay where she was. Inside, the light of the lamps had been snuffed out. Shadows danced on the walls as Jim stepped over broken jars and wood. In the corner of the room, just below the steps, something moved. The blond froze and starred at the spot, trying to get a better look at it. Suddenly it moaned in pain.
"Father?!" He took a step forward and was at the injured man's side.
He was weak and could barely bring out the words as he spoke. "Listen to me...son..."
"Hush father! You need to keep your strength." Jim said, feeling helpless as his father pressed on.
"You... you must protect her.... Protect her from the evil...."
"What are you talking about? What evil?"
"The evil that will.... Take over this world if...she is taken." His father began to cough up streams of blood.
"No, Father! You can't die!" Jim screamed, but his pleas fell on deaf ears as his father was swept away from his world.
