Hello! Are you enjoying my story so far? I got an e-mail asking me to display the falcons and their owners (and colors) as they appear. So I will:
Moontear: Sakura. Is pure silver, even her beak and talons. Her eyes are navy blue.
Sunshadow: Yugi (though he only finds out in the next chapter). Is gold all over, including his beak and talons. Has bronze eyes.
Skydancer: Pegasus. Sky blue all over, including beak and talons. Has tan eyes.
I promise the chapters will now be much longer. Please don't flame! I've already been flamed once!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh. However I do own Sakura, Pine Hollow Orphanage, Mrs. Blander, and the falcon/advisers. Please ask before you use them.
Knights of the High Council: Skydancer
*********************************************************************************
^ Sakura's POV ^
'Better knock first Moon. This place don't look dangerous, but looks can be deceiving.' Moontear warned me as I walked up the stairs. The place looked like one would expect one's grandmother to live in. It was brown with white trim. It had only two stories, but looked like it held several rooms.
'Yes Moontear.' Sakura replied, her voice dripping in sarcasm. She slowly reached up and knocked on the door. A teenage girl soon opened it.
She had waist length silver hair and warm brown eyes. She was wearing a sky-blue tank top and kaki shorts. Her chin was even with Sakura's head.
"May I help you?" she asked politely. Her eyes had hardened upon seeing her. She immediately started easing the door shut.
Gulping, Sakura asked quietly, "Does a Pegasus Maximillion live here?" She was practically shaking in nervousness.
"I'm Pegasus. What do you want?" she asked, opening the door wider. Her eyes were much softer now.
Breathing a sigh in relief, Sakura replied, "I'm Sakura Oh, your pen pal. I called earlier asking if I could stay here tonight if my grandfather didn't show up. Well, he didn't."
Her eyes lightened up. "Oh, Sakura! I'm so sorry! I knew you had a silver falcon, but not a gold one. It had me confused." As she said this, she reached up to stroke Sunshadow.
He screeched and flew back into the still open cage. But it wasn't just one screech. Another falcon was flying up above them. Looking up, Sakura immediately knew it was one of the six she was missing.
'Moontear, which one is it?' Sakura asked as it, now identified to be a she, landed on her once empty shoulder.
'Skydancer. She belongs to Sky. According to her riddle, the owner "flies with her falcon". Any ideas?' Moontear replied. She sounded completely baffled.
'Just one' Sakura replied "Pegasus, meet Skydancer." The falcon was pure sky blue, even her beak and talons. Her eyes were a soft tan though.
"She's beautiful!" Pegasus gasped. Skydancer then flew from Sakura's shoulder, to Pegasus's.
^ Pegasus's POV ^
'She's gorgeous! And her talons don't hurt, even though their griping my bare shoulder.' Pegasus thought in amazement.
"She's yours."
"What?" Pegasus cried out. She was sure she heard wrong.
"She's yours. If she wasn't she would have remained on my shoulder. Open your heart Pegasus, and listen carefully. The voice will explain." Sakura said serenely.
Shrugging, Pegasus closed her eyes and relaxed. She reached inside and saw a sky blue light. It engulfed her. She gasped and snapped her eyes open
'Hello there!' a perky voice told her as soon as she opened her eyes. Somehow she knew that voice coming from her heart, and that no one else had heard it.
"You can hear her. You are the one." Sakura said, relief evident in her voice.
'What?' Pegasus thought. 'I am seriously confused.'
'You don't have to be. Lead Sakura and Moontear inside, take them to a room where no one can hear us, then we will explain everything.' The voice told her. It sounded airy, some how.
'First, who are you? And how can Sakura tell I'm "the one"?' Pegasus asked the voice.
It giggled a little before answering, 'I am Skydancer, your falcon and adviser. To answer the second question, look in the mirror and you'll see.'
"Come on Sakura. You, Skydancer, and some one else are suppose to explain once we get in private." Pegasus said, opening the door and walking toward the stairs.
^ Sakura's POV ^
She observed as she followed Pegasus. The mismatched chairs had knitted covers, as did the couch. The walls were painted blue; the carpet was sea foam green.
She quickly ran up the stairs to catch up with Pegasus. She had been to busy observing, she had fallen behind. Catching up, she asked, "Is anyone else home?"
"No. All the younger kids are out with friends and the manger, Mrs. Blander, is out shopping. We are the only ones here for the rest of the day. Mrs. Blander won't be back till five, the little ones at five thirty. Till then, we're on our own." Pegasus replied cheerfully. "Privacy is rare the rest of the week, so enjoy while you can."
Walking through a sky blue door, the arrived in Pegasus's room. It was sky blue and tan everywhere. The walls and ceiling blue, the carpet tan. Her bedspread and pillows were copies of the sky. All the other furniture was painted tan, except her desk chair. It was sky blue with a tan cushion on it.
Turning, Pegasus said, "The room with the silver door is your room. These rooms are for the older girls and you and me are the only ones. It is just like this, only silver walls, ceilings, chair cushion, and furniture and navy blue carpet and chair. The bedspread and pillows are copies of the night sky, only the stars and moon are silver, the sky navy blue."
"Thanks." Sakura answered. "I'll set Sunshadow and Moontear up, then I'll come back in here and explain."
Turning, she quickly walked out of the room and into her own. It was more wonderful then Pegasus had first described. There was also a silver cage on a stand for Moontear. Setting the gold cage with Sunshadow down, she removed the cover off the cage.
Setting her backpack on the desk, she reached inside and took out two small jewelry boxes. One was navy blue with a silver crescent moon on the lid. A white teardrop hid the latch. The other was tan with a sky blue cloud on the lid. A white dancer's shoe hid the latch. Reaching into her sub space pocket, she found the cage she was looking for as well as the others. She then left to return to Pegasus's room.
^ Pegasus's POV ^
While Sakura was gone, Pegasus looked in the mirror over her desk. The front of her hair was streaked sky blue, her eyes as well. She noticed it was just like Sakura's, only hers were sky blue and Sakura's were silver.
Sakura walked in then carrying a sky blue cage like the one she put in her room, and two jewelry boxes. Sakura set the cage up in the corner of the room. Then she sat down. Out of no where she pulled out to small perches, one navy blue, and one tan. Putting them down on Pegasus's nightstand, she waited.
Skydancer immediately flew to the tan perch and settled down. Moontear did the same on the navy blue.
"Now that we can talk freely, I'll explain a few things then let Sakura take over. Sakura and you, Pegasus, are part of a group called The Knights. You each have a serve The High Council.
"The High Council is made up of eight gods and goddesses. They are, in order of rank, Re, Anton, Isis, Chons, Horus, Geb, Amentet, and Am-heh.
Each Knight has a piece of one of these gods or goddesses in your soul. You have a piece of Horus, the sky god. Sakura has a piece of Isis, the moon goddess.
"Each Knight also partners up with another Knight. You will partner up with Earth, Knight of Geb, the earth god. Sakura will pair up with Moon Guardian, the Knight of Chons, the moon god. You will know your partner because his falcon is the counter part of your own. His primary color will be tan instead of sky blue, his secondary sky blue instead of tan. Same goes with Sakura, only hers will be navy blue and silver.
"All Knights fight monsters we call orgs. They travel in packs ranging from ten to fifteen. You will fight them with your Blade. Sakura will explain that later." Moontear explained calmly.
Skydancer continued, "You are to help Sakura find the other Knights. To help, I give you the Sky Ocarina and the Earth Dagger." Skydancer glowed softly before a tan dagger and sky blue ocarina fell into Pegasus's open hands. "The Earth Dagger glows when your partner is near. The Sky Ocarina gives you and/or whomever you wish to have wings. Simple play this tune." And with that, Skydancer whistled a soft tune. (A.N. It's Saria's Song from Zelda: Ocarina of Time for those who want to know.)
Moontear butted in; "Sakura has similar ones. Hers are the Moon Dagger and the Moon Ocarina. Her Dagger does the same as yours. Her Ocarina however can give her and/or whoever she wishes the speed of light."
"Okay, I sorta get it. But now Sakura needs to start explaining so I can get the full picture." Pegasus said slowly as she sat down on her bed.
Sakura sighed, "It is a long story..."
Sorry, but I have to go. Look out for Chapter 4: A Long Story
