-Longing for the Sun-
By Kai
===============================================================
Part One: -The Sunless Way-
A long, long time ago, in the age of Demons and Angels, two worlds existed; The world of the immortal, and The World of the mortal. The World of the mortal was dark, damp and sunless. On the other hand, the immortal world was ruled by 'Odin the great'. They seemed glorious, shining and peaceful, but there was something behind its perfection..
Once the God created the immortal world of Demons and Angels over the mortal world of Humans, because he thought it was a mistake creating the Human as a mortal and weakling... he wanted his children to live happily with the one they loved eternally, so he gave them his separated hearts, 'The Heart of Sacrifice', 'The Heart of Justice', 'The Heart of Virtue', 'The Heart of Freedom' and 'The Heart of Love'. Those hearts were the respective relics among Demons and Angels... but anyway... the reason that the God created the Demon after the Angel is still a mystery.
Nowadays, even the black-winged Demons and the white-winged Angels live in the same world. They both hated each other because of a tragedy in the past... the Angels had invaded the World of Demons, because a Demon child sneaked in the shrine of God and stole 'the Heart of Virtue' from them. May it be the beginning.. the Angels and Demons have lost their balance of right and wrong without it...
There was a hybrid child that lived on the edge of the Angel realm. His mother was an Angel and His father was a Demon... When both worlds discovered their forbidden love, they rejected the little child who had white wings but pointed ears as a mark of both tribes. They separated the lovers and sent his father back to the Demon realm. The Angel left the child in the deep forest and imprisoned his mother.. He was totally alone... in the beautiful and prosperous world, it was just a nightmare for him...
The pointed ear boy used to come out of forest. He watched how the others acted, how they lived, hoping he could be like them. One day he saw an Angel girl playing with white dove at the edge of the forest. When she saw him, she was startled but she asked him whether he wanted to play with her or not. The hybrid boy was glad... it had been a long time since someone had talked to him, but as soon as the girl's mother saw him, she screamed and called the others... they threw rocks and sticks at him. The boy was hurt. He had done nothing wrong, he just wanted a place where he could live like the others... He just wanted a friend...
He ran back, deep into the forest... he was hurt... he cried... all alone...
Until the cry was heard by Odin. He woke up in the night. Odin looked through the magic mirror. He saw a little boy with white wings and pointed ears sobbing to the ground. No one surrounded him but the lifeless trees, nothing surrounded him but the silence of midnight. Odin called his advisor in no time.
The chamber's door was knocked and opened, two figure walked in; one was a black haired Demon. He had great black wings and his black eyes were fierce. The other was a uni-banged, white-winged Angel. They knelt before him and waited for orders.
"Who is this boy?" Odin asked. They both looked up and the Angel answered, "Must be that hybrid child, my Lord."
"Hybrid child?"
"Recently we discovered that a female Angel gave birth the child of a Demon, my lord." said the Demon.
"Why didn't I know anything about this?"
"We didn't inform you about this because it wasn't an important matter, my Lord."
"Wasn't important?! Look at him! Who is responsible for his sorrow?! Who?!" Odin was totally furious, his Cobalt eyes burned with nothing but anger... and only three of them know why...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Next morning, the hybrid child woke up in the forest. He cried til he fell asleep last night, but that didn't matter since that wasn't the first time. The cool dew of the morning grass chilled him, his breath turned into tiny visible clouds. He was really afraid of his future... afraid of anything that lay ahead... Suddenly, there was a little form of light fell down slowly before him. It stopped and turned to be a short gold hair little fairy.
"Hello! I'm Quatre, nice to meet you!" He exclaimed smiling.
"W... What are you?" the hybrid child was visibly scared by the tiny creature; he shielded himself with his dirty white wings
"That's rude! I'm a fairy." he said, raising his tiny chin proudly.
"I... never saw one before." He still kept the distance, but peaked out.
"In that case; remember. I'm a fairy. What's your name?"
"Duo..."
'What a pitiful name... it reminds him all the time that he isn't a Demon nor an Angel.' the fairy thought. "Ok. Duo! I'm a practical fairy... so I have the power to grant you three wishes, what will they be?"
"What do you mean, 'practical fairy'?"
"Hey! Don't ask anything, but I can't guarantee that I can give you exactly everything you want."
"So that's the meaning of 'practical fairy' right?" Duo smiled. He had lightened up with the holy creature. "But why you will grant me my wishes?"
"I said no questions! Just ask what you want, ok?"
"I er... I want to be an Angel..." he wasn't sure if this fairy could make him be one.
"You already are." His head dropped a bit, no one would change the race that easily.
"... Come on, just asking.." Duo tried to be cheerful, he didn't want to cry and scare the fairy away. "Mm... can I have a hut?"
" A hut? Is that all? You could ask for something bigger."
"I saw the big house out there. There was so many Angels living in it... but I'm alone..."
"Ok! wait one day, and tomorrow you'll get a hut!"
"One day? Why?"
"Just wait! And as long as you still don't ask for the last wish, you can called me anytime! I'll come to you! Bye for now!"
"W... Wait..." Too late... the fairy was gone... he could have asked for the fairy to talk with him more... he wanted someone he could talk to. Then he got the idea, he'll ask for a friend tomorrow...
