The Lost Mystics and the Dream Bearer

Prologue

By: The Mysterious One

Inside a dark room, the short curly dark brown haired girl stared intently at the fire that lit up her face. Her silence marked the calmness of a trance. The child's quiet breathing was soon accompanied by a soft humming. Only to have her start mouthing words. Gradually the humming stopped and the mouthed words began to become hearable, "Nokame gav dayu ohnane. Nokame gav dayu ohnane."

"What are you doing Yollani?"

Yollani whirled around, startled, "I…uh…nothing!"

"Child," the shadowy figure shook it's head, "You know it is not wise to lie. Tell me what you have been doing."

They must not know of the awakening! I will not tell. "Master, I have only been searching for the dream bearer," she answered. That is only half true.

"Then why were you saying 'go to them and awake'?"

1 Yollani was stumped. What do I say now…?

"I take by your silence that you have been trying to help awaken one of them, have you not?" With that question the shadowy figure grabbed her arm tightly. "Answer me correctly little one and you will be forgiven."

"I…" Yollani hung her head and frowned. I have been discovered…Kasteina, I only hope you received my message…

"So…as I had suspected…You tried to awaken a lost mystic, have you not?"

Yollani nodded, "Yes master."

"See…All you had to do was tell the truth."

"I know."

The shadowy figure let go of her arm, "Well then, let us see no more lying? Come with me so that you can be cleansed of your mistakes."

"Yes master." Yollani said respectively as she followed her master. My dear ice, let yourself be awakened, I know you can find the other Lost Mystics, then, you can destroy this evil that has planned to take control…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

An artic fox blinked it's grayish blue eyes which where lit with a cold blankness. It pushed aside the brush with it's black nose and took a few sniffs at the air before thrusting it's small furry white head through the foliage and out into the opening.

The ronin warriors have gone through a lot when they defeated Talpa twice. And peace has returned for them. With Lady Kayura restoring the Dynasty from the evil that Talpa had set upon it…So why then is it that I am here? What force has taken me from the Cold Mountains and brought me here?

The White Fox, as what he was often called, was known as a he, but in reality he had no gender, he wasn't a he or a she. His creator Odin hadn't given him feelings or gender, he was just a fox that was in control of anything cold, snow, the cold winds, and ice.

The white artic fox walked out of the protection of the foliage and stood with his eyes looking at the seven creatures that stood in front of the mansion.

The first stood on it's all fours, unlike all of the other creatures, who stood on two legs. He had black strips, that looked as if someone had come along and carefully painted them onto him, which decorated the white fur that covered his massive frame. His brown eyes looked up at the second creature he stood by.

The second creature's black messy hair covered it's head with a wild air. His blue cat like shaped eyes shown with laughter as he smiled at what another one of the other creatures had said.

"It's going to be boring!" The third creature complained. His blue bangs were kept from falling into his eyes by a golden band he wore around his head.

"Well I think Rowen is going to like it. He'll get more sleep!" The black haired boy said.

The forth creature, who's name was Rowen, brushed the blue bang that had grown longer then the rest out of his eyes, "I don't need any more comments on my sleeping habits guys. As if I haven't had enough about them already!"

The fifth, who had his hair grown so that the blonde locks would cover his right eye, didn't comment anything from where he stood. I'm getting this uneasy feeling…but why? We defeated Talpa and his evil dynasty didn't we?… His eyes narrowed at his thoughts. Something is wrong…

"You okay Sage?" The sixth, and smallest, creature asked, as he looked up at the blonde in concern.

"Yes," Sage answered. "I'm just getting these bad vibes. And I don't like them."

The others looked at him, all of their expressions suddenly becoming serious.

"What do you mean?" The last creature asked, her long straight brown hair down, like she had worn it since the first time she had met up with the ronin warriors.

"There's another evil presence. But…this one is different…it's more powerful then Talpa."

"What?!" The others all looked at each other not sure what to think.

"I can't sense where the evil is, it's not here in the mortal world yet, that much I know…" Sage said, "But I'm sure it'll show itself soon."

"Well I'm ready for it!" The third boy smiled as he punched his fist into his other hand.

"Mia," the little boy asked, "Does that mean we'll have to wait for it to come to us?"

"I guess so," the woman nodded.

The White Fox flicked his ears as he listened to what they said. …What is it about the ronins that I have to be here for? I have never left the Cold Mountains for anything…Well…for what ever reason I was brought here…I will stay…

"Looks like we'll have to stay here a little longer." The black haired boy said. "Course that is if it's alright with you."

"It's okay Ryo," Mia nodded, "I just hope the mansion will live up to this next attack…When ever it comes."

"It's survived the last two wars." The third boy said.

"That's true Kento, but what makes you think it'll survive another? Especially if our next enemy turns out being more powerful." Rowen pointed out.

Kento frowned, "Yeah…Well," he waved his hand carelessly in the air, not wanting to admit his defeat, "I'm going back in, I'm starving!"

"You're always starving." The little boy said.

"So?" Kento walked back inside.

"I'm going to follow him and make sure he doesn't eat the entire house!" Yulie announced as he followed the blue haired boy.

2 Nokame gav dayu ohnane…

Everything seems to happen without a reason of understanding, until it's true purpose shows, doesn't it? I shall do as the words say…For if someone went to the trouble of sending me here, then there is a very important reason why I am here. Though I do not know what that person means by 'awake'…

The White Fox quietly made his way into the mansion without anyone seeing him.
