The Day
Prolog: Prophecy

By Apple from Mars

Warnings: None yet.

Couples: Undecided. In your review, feel free to tell me which couples you think should be in this story. But don't bother if you think there should be Takari, because I can tell you it won't be a Takari. I don't have anything against it, I just think there are way too many Takari stories.

Ryo leaped lightly from the lowest branch of the elm tree and down to the ground. Behind him his companion had stopped on the branch, her arms crossed, frowning. The chill wind from the morning had faded, and the forest air was still and silent.

"Ryo, I tell you, they will have our BLOOD. They shall become Kinslayers if it allows them to stop the Day."

Ryo flinched as the girl said the word 'Kinslayers.' "Calm yourself Alice. If we hurry we can still gather."

"I tell you-"

"Now, above all, we must have faith. Alice, we must act now, or not act at all." Ryo turned to face the blond haired girl, and for a moment there was silence. Then Alice stepped down off the branch, and stood before him, her arms at her sides.

"Very well. We will act now."

Ryo gave her a grim smile, which she returned, before they set off at a fast paced walk, swerving around trees as the picked up speed.

"We head for Wathren. If we move quickly, it will only take a fortnight."

"Then let us hurry, lest the darkness overtake us."

A/N: I am very sorry about the shortness of this chapter. It's simply setting the stage for things yet to come. And I don't know if this story will have any couples, but if it does they will most likely be yaoi/yuri. But then again...
