Well, I updated something, no da. I'll update more asap, K? Hope you like and I don't own Fushigi Yuugi or Lunar 2.
Last chapter:
1) Himitsuno: secret as in "It's a secret". I was short on ideas, so sue me, no da(Please don't, I'm broke) -_-;;
Call of Duty: Houjun
Houjun sighed, looking at his brother for a moment before turning back to Nuriko.
"I know how he feels," he said quietly. "I miss him too, no da."
"What can we do though?" Nuriko asked, tears brimming in her rose-colored eyes.
"I…don't know…Look, I'm gonna go for now, ok? I think you should, too. Let's leave him be for now…that might be best, ne no da?"
"I guess. I'll go talk to mother." Houjun nodded in reply and quietly got to his feet and stepped out of the room. He let his feet carry him to his destination at first, unsure of what to do. When he finally realized where he was, he wasn't surprised to see Himitsuno standing before him. She wore a floor-length purple robe that was tied at the waist with a yellow sash and had an almost floral design around the sleeves and bottom of the same color. Her waist-length silver hair was pulled back in a braid leaving wisp bangs to frame her face. Despite her age, she still appeared as youthful as Nuriko. She looked at her pupil with knowing amethyst eyes and nodded. Neither said nothing, only began sparring wordlessly as they had always done when the prince would come to her. It would be there last chance to do so for a while.
"You've gotten stronger, prince," the master mage bowed when they were done and smiled. "Perhaps you will continue to excel?"
"Ha, I doubt it, no da," the teen muttered, plopping on the floor. He stretched out on his back and stared at the ceiling and the mural that stretched across it.
"Would you like to hear a story, Houjun?" she asked, sitting next to him, but out of his sights. The teen nodded having waited years to hear what story the pictures had been telling him since he was a boy. He sighed quietly, surrounded by the peaceful aura of the room: almost as if he were floating between the mural and the cold tile floor.
"Long ago, our people lived not below the surface of the water, but above it. Atlantis was a floating city of magicians and aeons(1)."
"Aeons?" the young mage asked almost dreamily.
"Yes, the creatures of legend that sought only to protect the mages who could summon them. They lived here as well. At that time, few knew of Atlantis and the city flew above Mt. Black(2). However, one day, an evil man known as Zone Pharaoh(3) appeared and corrupted the people of this island. As punishment for our corruption, the gods cast the city of Atlantis into the ocean in hopes of destroying the evil that had conquered a majority of its inhabitants. In doing so, they nearly killed those innocent of the charges placed on them.
"Seeing what the gods had done and having pity on the mortals that had done nothing to deserve such a cruel punishment, Neptune, our protector, spared them by creating a dome over the city and settling it gently on the ocean's floor.
"Then, taking his golden trident, he weeded out those who would serve the one call Zone Pharaoh and left those with good hearts to rule the city. The gods saw what Neptune had done and made him the ruler of seas. To this day, he watches over us through our kings and protects us from evil."
Houjun nodded sat up. "So, Hikou is Neptune?"
"In a way," Himitsuno chuckled, rising to her feet. "Its more like Neptune is in him guiding his judgment to an extent. He's not controlling him, though. Hikou must be the one to make his own choices as king. Now you should go to bed, Prince Houjun." She smiled warmly and offered her hand to him.
"Alright," he muttered, not wanting to sleep because he knew that when morning came he would be leaving for the metropolis city of the surface known as "New York."
He would be leaving to find his destiny…
