Chapter 1
As a small
animal walked by, it was unaware that something was watching it from the
bushes.
The something quietly drew two daggers
from his side.
BAM!
There was a loud impact somewhere
nearby and the animal ran off, scared.
"Dammit!" The guy stood up, revealing
that he seemed to be a hybrid of a tiger and a human. "Who scared off my
dinner?"
He turned to the source of the
noise-and found two wolves barking at a small, blue-haired boy. The boy hadn't
a single strip of clothing.
The guy raised an eyebrow. He walked
towards the wolves.
"Yo!" He drew his daggers and slammed
them into the wolves, killing them. "That's what you get for scaring off my
dinner!"
He sheathed the daggers and looked
down at the boy. The boy was shivering madly.
"You're lucky those currs hadn't
chewed you to bits, kid." He turned away. "I'd take you home if I could, but I
don't have enough food to feed ya."
He started to walk away-when he heard
a small voice.
"M-mommy?"
The guy turned around and looked at
the kid again. Man, sometimes I really hate having a conscience, he thought.
"All right, all right." He walked over to the kid and kneeled. "Uncle Rei'll
take you home. Don't worry."
Rei hoisted the kid onto his back,
holding him with his tail. This is odd…why does this kid have no clothes?
Heck, what's he doing out in the woods to begin with? He shrugged. Hope
he'll be able to answer those questions.
With that, Rei began walking towards
his small cabin in the Cedar Woods.
In Rei's cabin, a small, purple-headed
boy was waiting at the table in the main room. Finally, the door opened and Rei
came in, carrying something on his back.
"Yo, Rei!" said the boy. "Hey, what's
that? Is that dinner?"
Rei shook his head. "You're always
thinking with your stomach, aren't you Teepo?"
Teepo grinned and said no reply.
"This is just a kid I found out in the
woods. C'mon, let's get him into your bed."
Teepo considered saying something like
"My bed?! Why my bed?!" but decided against it. He followed Rei
up to his bedroom.
Rei slipped the boy under the covers.
He stepped back and looked at him for a while.
"So, where'd he come from?" asked
Teepo.
"Dunno," answered Rei. "I told you, I
just found him out in the woods."
Teepo followed Rei's gaze, looking at
the kid resting in his bed. "Kinda sounds like what happened with me, eh?"
Rei only nodded. After a few more
minutes he turned and walked down the stairs.
Teepo stayed up there for a bit
longer. "He was abandoned…just like me." After a few more minutes, Teepo got up
and followed Rei downstairs.
The boy twisted and turned. He knew he
was dreaming, but he could not seem to wake up.
An older person with violet-colored
hair was staring down at him. "Don't you see, Ryu?" he said. He raised his arm.
"They're weak. Pitiful and pathetic! They use our powers for their own selfish
ends!"
Suddenly he disappeared.
He was replaced with a woman wearing a
pink gown. She appeared to have wings.
"Ryu…" she said. "My…Ryu…"
Suddenly, the boy sat up in bed,
finally awakening from his dream.
What was that all about? he
thought. He remembered nothing at all. His earliest memories were the dream he
just had and of someone carrying him. And all he knew now was that his name was
Ryu.
Ryu slid out of bed. Hopefully, he'd
be able to find some answers soon.
End of Chapter 1-Chapter 2 (hopefully) coming soon!
