FINDING THE CHOSEN ONES
Chapter 1: So it begins
____________________
A/N: Yeah. I know I paused the writing of this story but I guess I could give you another chapter to hang on. Oh yeah, this is not a Anubis/Mia fic.
Mia watched the phoenix spread its beautifully colored wings and sail into the sky with a graceful flap if its wings.
"Fifth one today. Good job Mia," Anubis said, awed at the magnificent bird.
She nodded, "I seem to be getting better every day at seeking magic."
Anubis was her traveling friend she had met. It just so happened that he was Shuten's son and when she told their family the news of his death, (and she told them that she was a servant girl) his family raised her up. Now Mia was 16 and she was practicing her 'finding magic' skills. Anubis who is 22 decided to accompany her hopping to see some rare magical creatures, along with White Blaze. He had no idea who she was and what he had gotten himself into.
"This is great! I never met anyone with your kind of powers Mi-chan." Anubis said as Mia had tracked down a unicorn.
"…"
"You OK Mia?" he asked.
Mia nodded absent-mindedly. 'I have been searching for 2 years and still haven't found anyone with great magical powers. Will I ever find the chosen ones??' She thought to herself sadly.
"What good could I use my powers for, Anubis?" she asked.
"…? I bet there is plenty of uses for magic seeking." He said, "People need cured from certain diseases with rare items that only magical creatures can attain. Why do you ask?"
"There's to many magical creatures here," she said changing the subject, "Let's leave this forest. There is no competition". She stretched her back and cracked her knuckled. Hardly princess behavior, if her mother was here she would have a heart attack.
"OK," Anubis said clearly disappointed.
'Geeze,' thought Anubis, 'I came to see magical creatures, but Mia is bent on increasing her power.'
They sought for the way out of the forest for a long time, but all they did is get lost.
"Great," Mia said tired and frustrated, "Looks like were going to sleep on a dirt bed until tomorrow."
They found a small cave to sleep in, and after checking for any stray dragons, they got ready to sleep on the cold hard floor.
"Night Anubis, brother," she yawned using her arm as a pillow.
"Night Mi-chan. Oneesan."
Darkness consumed them and they soon fell into a deep asleep.
**************************************************************
"Mommy don't die!" she cried out as se saw her mother get slashed by the maniac man again. Soon the image darkened, she was alone
"Mommy… I'm scared."
"Your people…"Do you want save them?"
"…"
"Hurry awaken."
"… Monk?"
"Your people must be set free. Wake up!"
"Please, tell me how."
"Wake up"
Mia felt something warm on her face as she slipped out of the dream.
"Eh, White Blaze?" Mia said drowsily, "Go away you stupid fur-ball it's too early."
White Blaze growled at Mia and began to nudge her roughly.
"Fine, fine. I love you to," she said sarcasticly rubbing the sore spot where he nudged her at, "You hungry? Is that why you woke me up?"
White Blaze just glared at Mia angrily swishing his tail.
"What did I do?" she asked indignantly. Then she felt something tug at her heart and got a weird feeling in her stomach.
"Magic," she whispered, "but it feels different, it's not normal. Do you feel it too, White Blaze?" She looked over to make sure Anubis was asleep and stood up on her feet.
"Come on White Blaze. Something feels weird. Let's check this out." She said running outside. It was dark outside with no stars in the sky and was silent as if the Earth was expecting something to happen and it was holding its breath.
Mia shivered, "That's unusual huh, White Blaze. I mean there is always noise in the forest. Whether it's wolves or elves, or..." Mia didn't want to continue because her voice seemed to echo ten times louder then normal in the dead silence.
White Blaze suddenly dashed forward into the shadow's of the trees.
"Don't run off Blaze," she cried running after him. Suddenly out of nowhere flames flashed and swirled around her. Mia almost cried out until she felt the same magic that she felt in the cave again. Then she heard clanging of metal and her necklace glowed an eerie color.
"Monk…" she whispered realizing who it was.
"Yes, princess Nausti. It is I," said the monk as he walked through the fire towards her.
"I'm not a princess. I am Mia. The princess was a weak little girl," she said haughtily.
The monk seemed to consider her reply for awhile and then he asked, "I see… Does that mean you gave on your Balaria?"
"Never."
"Good," he said, "Because the chosen ones have arrived." Mia's eyes began to flash with hundreds of emotions.
"Where are they?" she demanded.
"That is where you come in. You must find the chosen ones. I can not come into your world in a physical form." With those words, the monk was walking through the fire again.
"Monk, wait!" she cried tearing after him in desperation.
He paused and turned to her.
"Why are you helping me?" she asked.
"… This problem goes far beyond your world," he said after a moment of silence.
"What does that mean?"
"MIA!" she heard Anubis scream from afar, "WHERE ARE YOU!"
Almost immediately, the flames rushed away and Mia was alone with White Blaze wwith no trace of the old monk.
"HERE ANUBIS," she yelled. Soon Anubis stumbled out of the hedge to her.
"You run off like that again and I will personally kill you," he said catching his breath.
"Shut up Anubis I need to concentrate," was Mia's reply. She closed her eyes and began to meditate.
"Concentrate for what? You're not searching for magic this early are you?" he asked incredulously.
"No I'm searching for a way out," she lied hoping he accepted her answer.
"Oh, OK," Anubis said and he watched her work.
Mia searched for all her strength's work.
"A unicorn, an elf, a dragon…" she murmured under her breath. She felt nothing different.
"Why isn't this working?" she cried mentally, "Can someone help me?"
She felt her necklace grow warm and almost immediately visions flashed in her head. At first, she was afraid, this never happened before! But she realized it was the necklace doing all of this. Soon her vision clouded and she felt as if she were floating.
***********************************************************************
She was alone in the black space. White energy surrounded her as well as green and blue. It took her a moment to realize it was representing different types of magic.
"White for unicorns, blue for nymphs, green for elves… wait a minute"
She saw a fire far away among the blue blurs.
"Fire? I've never seen fire as magic. I've seen magic use fire… Is that what I'm looking for?
She concentrated on the fire so that the rest of the blurs of magic seem to disappear.
"South… Southeast. That's were I'll find you."
She released herself from the vision and the darkness was blasted away with light.
She was once again standing next to Anubis.
"Let's go," was all she said.
"… Where?"
"Southeast," she replied as she began to stride quickly.
"Is that the way out?" he asked trying to keep up with her fast walking.
"I don't know," she told him.
Anubis was about to ask her why they were going that way but stopped when he saw the look on her face. He had learned to shut up if she was looked like that.
It was a very long walk indeed and every time Anubis asked for a rest she would tell him shut up and stop slowing them down.
In the end, Anubis and Mia ended up riding on White Blaze, much to White Blaze's disapproval. Anubis could only wonder how White Blaze knew where to go.
"Are you sure we are going the right way?" he said again.
"I know I am going the right way. You I have no idea," she said, her air whipping in the wind.
"Well…" Anubis went quite because he saw a small village, "Looks like you did know what you're doing"
"…"
Mia walked around trying to find the strange power again.
"Nothing" she said sighing.
"Nothing, what?" Anubis asked.
"Nothing," she said smiling sweetly.
'Oh well,' she thought, 'No one said it was going to be easy.'
So it began.
