Note: I don't own Ronin Warriors, I make no claims to them (I'm penniless so why bother suing?) But I do own the characters that I make up (Crei, Mikkel, leos, ect.) so if you feel like using them, ask my permision first, please. Thank you.

Mist floated down through the trees, covering evrything in a cold grey veil. It was dark, and not just from the fog. The sun was hidden behind huge dark clouds, from which the roar of thunder could be heard. Rain fell in a cold drizzle, soaking everything. All was quiet and still. Cye stood withing a clearing, surrounded by three and mist, the rain running down his face and body. WHy he has here he didn't know. He could see barely anything other than the outline of the trees, or a large rock somehwere next to him. It was very cold, and he couldn't move. Try as hard as he did, he was stuck in the clearing.
"Where am I?" Cye asked himself. "What is this place?"
Of course no one answered. There was no one to answer him. But the rain did stop suddenly, and the mist slowly began to evaporate. Still Cye couldn't move. But as the mist began to fall back among the trees, it began to come together, forming into a shape, a human. The human looked to be no younger than Cye himself, with long red hair and blue eyes. She had a mournful expression on her face. She held a sword in her left hand, a long golden feather in the other. Who she was and why she was there, Cye didn't know.
The girl stepped foreward, able to move as Cye could not. It took him a moment to realize that she wasn't walking, rather, she was floating! She stopped about two feet in front of Cye, where he could see her clearly. She was wearing a dress of irredecent silk that shimmered when she moved. She looked eerie in the pale light, it made her seem as if she was glowing. Cye tried to step back, to ask who she was, but no sound came from his throat, and he seemed frozen where he stood. The strange girl raised the hand with the feather in it, and brushed it over Cye's face. Suddenly, everything went blank!
Cye woke up, breathing heavily as if he had been running. The entire house was silent, save for kento's snoring of course. He looked out the window where the moon hung low over the trees, thinking about his dream. It wasn't the first time he had had this dream, but the first time it had been so clear. Nor could he figure out what it meant. He hadn't told the other Ronins, why bother? Its not like it had something to do with Talpa. At least, he hoped it didn't. But it still bothered Cye that he couldn't figure it out. Who was that girl? He felt as if he had met her before. But that was impossible, wasn't it? Cye decided to push the dream from his mind and layed back down. He would need his sleep, since tomorrow they were going on a camping trip up in the mountains. That had been Rowen's idea, and Cye had gone along, just like did with about every other plan. Besides, if kento snored at night Cye would have a reson to dump a bucket of cold water on Kento without getting in trouble with Mia. That thought in mind, Cye went back to a more comfortable sleep.

Crei woke up, startled! She had done it again, wandered into another person's mind. Not intentionally, but she had done it. Being able to go into another person's mind was a gift of hers, but it worked only when she and the other person was asleep. Her second gift was the ability to hear and feel people's thoughts and emotions. THAT gift was one she would rather do without. Her brothers told her that it meant she had strong magic in her, but why would they know something like that. 'Probably one more of their secrets' Crie thought.
She got out of her bed and stood up, sighing loudly. The sun was beginning to peak over the hills, and that meant she had some extra time before she had to do her chores. She quickly dressed in her t-shirt and overalls, and put on her boots, grabbing her back pack and ran downstairs and out the kitchen door. The rest of her family was still asleep, so she could slip out unnoticed by her mother or brothers.
Crei ran down the dirt road, turning off at a small wooded path that lead into the forest. Her mother disapproved of Crei going into the forest, but Crei could have cared less. She loved the woods, the scenery, but more than that she loved the hotsprings hidden within the woods. These were in a cave hidden by ivy vines and small shrubs. Crie had found it when she had been running from her oldest brother Ethan. The cave and its hotsprings quickly became her secret hiding place.
And the hotsprings weren't the only cool thing about the cave. In the deepest cavern was a giant crystal that glowed whenever Crei got within five feet of it. It was shaped like an eagle with its wings spread in a gliding position, and it looked like it would actually move. Crei wanted to know who had made the crystal, but she didn't tell anyone about it, for fear her hiding spot would be found. And she had seem if anything else caused it to glow, but with all the bats and mice that entered the cave, it stayed dull until Crei got near it. Maybe it had something to do with her "magic". Certainly she felt better when she was near it than she did any other time. She felt warm and calm, as though something had placed a warm cloth over her mind, blocking out all thoughts but her own. It made her feel good.
She found the cave without any trouble, and squeezed through the vines. Once inside she pulled a flashlight out of her backpack and turned it on. She knew the path to the springs well enough, but there was a riddle of other tunnels that she had yet to explore, and that was what she planned on doing today. If she accidently "forgot" the time (something she never did) then she wouldn't have to do her chores. That would make her brothers made, but they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. She was, after all, her mother's favorite.
The tunnel she chose to explore today was a small, narrow thing that only she could have fit down. Her brothers would never have made it for all the money in the world. She walked through the tunnel slowly, marking the wall with chack every few meters so she didn't get lost. Before long she found herself in a small cavern, with columns of pale pink rock dotting the place. In the flashlight glow, the place seemed strange a mystical. Crei wondered deeper into the cavern, suddenly finding herself facing another strage shaped rock that glowed as she approached! This one glowed a pale blue color, just as the eagle one had glowed red. But this one was not eagle! This creature was a gryphon! It was larger than Crei by about 3 feet, and each feather was carved with such detail as the first that it, too, looked real. The eyes were made from a pale greenish-blue stone, and looked strangely human. One single feather from its tail was gold, unlike the others, which were an ocean blue color.
Crei touched the gold feather, and instantly a rush of images filled her mind! A bunch of boys camping, a large tiger, mountains, a giant waterfall, a rageing fire... there were more, but Crei couldn't sort them out, her mind was too overloaded. She quickly drew her hand away, sinking to the floor. She felt worse now than she ever had going into a large city with so many people who had loud minds. But the headache slowly faded and Crie was able to pull out a map she had been making of the caverns. She drew the tunnel and this cavern, marking it with the gryphon as the main point in the cave. That done she stood back up.
"I don't know what you are, but you're important. Wish I knew what built you things, though."
Crei then left the cavern to go for a swim before she did any more exploring.
The hot springs felt good to her sore muscles, and gave Crei and chance to think about what had made those statues. She had the strangest feeling that she would find two more if she looked, but she pushed the thought from her mind. How would she know if there were really two more of those strange statues in these caves when she hadn't even found them yet. But still, something in her mind told her that they WERE there and that she should go and find them NOW! So, whith great reluctance, Crei left the pool and redressed, ready to do some more exploring.
She didn't take her flashlight with her, nor any of her other supplies. Something in her mind was telling her to move FAST and leaded her in the right direction. She ended up going down a tunnel that opened in the back of the hot springs and that twisted and turned every which way. At one point it dropped down about three feet into another tunnel, which was as windy and confusing as the first. Still the strange force pulled her on, and still she followed until she finally reached the largest cavern she had ever seen! And inside were the two statues that had been in her mind!
The first statue was of a large wolf, but oddly enough its fur was a pale green, like seafoam! Its eyes stared transfixed on Crei, which made her feel uneasy. This creature was bigger than the gryphon, and from the opened mouth, it had many more sharp teeth. The second statue was as odd as the first, perhaps more so. It looked like a giant cat with long fangs, much like a sabertooth tiger's. It was the same size as the gryphon had been, and it too had wings. But instead of feathers on its wings, this creature had scales! And spikes unlike anything Crei had seen in her life ran down its spine and tail, ending in a long upward-curved blade! It was made of a pale yellow stone, almost like the color of lightning. And unlike the first two, these statues didn't glow. But just as Crei reached out to touch the cat-creature statue, it moved its head and winked at her! Screaming at the top of her lungs, Crei ran out of the carvern adn back down the tunnels, not stopping at the spring to get her things. In fact, she didn't stop running until she got home.
