Chapter Two: Abduction of the Princess
Crymsyn Black Moon leaned against a corner in downtown Elysian. He looked out of place, combing his messy black bangs with his fingers so that they'd cover the black upside-down crescent moon on his forehead. His royal purple eyes peered from behind glasses out at the crowd.
Turning, he found a fire escape nearby. He grinned to himself. It looked like an energizing climb. He jumped on, climbing as far as the escape went upwards. When it didn't reach any farther, he climbed right up the wall.
Jumping up onto the roof, he pulled a pair of sunglasses out of his pocket and put them on.
"Who are you?" Came a voice from behind him.
He turned to see a cloaked figure. They pulled their hood down, revealing their face.
Crymsyn found himself looking to the bloodred eyes of a beautiful girl. She had white-lightblue hair that was in a ponytail, and fell down around her face in waves. He decided that he couldn't risk letting her know who he really was.
"My name is Heiano," He lied.
She looked blankly at him. "What are you doing here?"
"Standing. It is a free country, last time I checked," He retorted. "I believe I didn't catch your name."
She faltered, looking at him. "It's Naoko." She said.
"What's a lovely girl such as yourself doing up here?"
"Nothing."
"Tell me about yourself, Naoko."
"Um... I'm a pr-- I mean, palace guard." She said forcedly.
"Do all palace guards wear cloaks?" He asked, an amused smile on his face.
"Yes." She replied.
He stood in front of her, and took her chin. "Promise me you won't go out alone?"
She pulled awaay. "I can handle myself." She replied coolly.
"It's not safe," He said.
"... So?"
"Someone as lovely as you shouldn't be put in danger.
He could see her cheeks turn pink, none the less pleased. He grinned at her uneasiness.
Before she could stop him, he leaned over and kissed her.
Drawing back, he looked down into her eyes. "Thanks for the information," He said, touching her cheek gently. "Now I'll know a palace guard when I see one."
"I... I should go..." She turned and climbed down the roof. As she went, he could see a frown on her face.
Crymsyn chuckled to himself. Now he could more easily dispose of palace guards and infiltrate the palace... But he did wonder about that girl.

Iris pushed hair behind her ears. It was her pride and joy. Long and white-blue, it fell to her knees in careless waves that reminded her of the sea. She smiled gently into the mirror as a figure appeared in the doorway behind her.
"Princess..." A girl, a bit older than Iris, stood there. Tall, slender, and regal, she had hair somewhat like Iris's. It reached past her ankles, and was a sea blue.
She looks a bit like me, Iris realized, comparing each other in the mirror. "Good evening, Aquarius."
The girl approached her. She was a bit taller than Iris, and her eyes were a light sage color, lined with a hint of silver. They were by far the most attractive part of her, wise and yearning at the same time, spilling with defense that Iris admired. "Princess, where have you been?"
"Aquarius, I've met the enemy." Iris turned to look her in the eye. She could see them flooding with surprise, although Aquarius stayed calm and composed.
"What happened? Are you all right, Princess?"
Iris nodded solemnly. "Nothing happened, really."
Aquarius knew not to ask further.
