Chapter four): Universal Symbols
Three Figures stood in front of him, each robed in a cloak of black to hide their appearance from him. They began to speak with voices that were clearly feminine yet of different tone and attitude. The old one spoke first.
" As the goddess Urd, I know all that is past and what lessons we should learn from history.
Therefore, I beseech thee to obtain that which is secret and written of ancient times."
The youngest spoke," At present, I, the goddess Verdandi, know that you seek a way to protect yourself as well as those around you from the harm that could befall them."
The last voice seemed ageless and veiled," And you know that it will, for I, the goddess Skuld, know the future and the events that are to come. The evil that threatens your friends and loved ones lurks close to each and every one you care about."
The boy spoke for the first time," How? How can I protect them and what is this secret and written thing?"
Verdandi answered," At present a young girl seeks you, she will be able to help you find the answers to your questions."
Urd added," She will able to obtain the past and bring it forth into the present."
Skuld, after a long silence, says," The young girl will guide you down a path destined for you."
Before anyone could respond, everything faded. Syaoran found himself back in bed in the early morning light that would would become hot. Syaoran knew what he had just experienced was a prophetic dream, but he had no idea how to accomplish what had been tasked of him. He got out of bed, got dressed, and was soon making himself breakfast in the apartment he had rented out for himself.
Syaoran is a tall lad with rich brown hair that was short and a lean body build. He is now in the United States of America, more specifically, in Arizona. The reason for coming here was to gain knowledge of the different Native American Cultures that lived around this area. The dream however, hinted that destiny had more in store for him.
While he eating breakfast, he began to wonder who this mysterious girl that would help him was. What was she like, and how did she know the answers to his questions. Is it possible that it could be a Seer that could tell him of future events, or an empath that could understand the feeling and emotion residing within another individual. Syaoran hoped it was not the latter.
After breakfast he prepared to go out to visit the Navajos, a Native American tribe that lived in this area for this was their reservation. Syaoran enjoyed walking among such a distinct and interesting tribe. The amount of music, dance, and stories were endless not to mention that he had been able to speak with the spiritualists and healers among the tribe leaders. Some would think that their magical knowledge was only rudimentary, but they proved them otherwise with the powerful feats of healing and transcending into other dimensions, speaking with other beings both dead and alive.
Syaorans own magical knowledge was expanding rapidly thanks to the healers and spiritualists that were nice enough to teach him the art of inner spirit and univeral meanings.
As Syaoran was enjoying a dance that was taking place near the healer's hut, he noticed that a mysterious girl was following him. Syaoran turned around to confront her, only to be confronted himself. The young girl was now only a few feet away, close enough for Syaoran to describe her.
She was about just as old and just as tall as he was. Her light brown hair flowed down to her waist, and her face was everything but serious or stern, very relaxed. Her hazel eyes, however, were looking awfully deeply into his own amber eyes as if she was reading his mind.
Her face became a little strained and then cracked, as she began to openly laugh at him for a reason Syaoran didn't undertand or know for that matter." What's so funny?" He checked himself to see if something was wrong with his appearance. But the girl kept on laughing, reaching a rich cackle before she finally calmed and relaxed.
She spoke with a voice that seemed like it belonged to a little girl," Well, I didn't expect a complete Idiot, but I guess you'll just have to do." Syaoran didn't know whether he was being insulted or accepted, but he decided not to adress the issue.
She spoke again," But to think that you have been embarrased by the ones your going to save, became their rivals at one time, and even fell in love with the one you originally despised is quite hilarious. You put yourself into a sitaution you didn't have to and still came out of it unscathed. You've got the devil's own luck. I think I know why she likes you."
Syaoran was stupified, was this girl taunting him or teasing him with what she thinks she knows of his past. Because of she was, she was being deadly and totally accurate.
However before he could respond the young girl went on," You know, I'm quite glad that you decided to undertake this task, I'll have fun working with you to help save your friends from the forces that can harm them." She winks.
Then it hit him, this was the girl the goddesses said he would meet and she would help him find a way to protect his friends. Syaoran opened his mouth to speak but the young lady cut in.
" Oops, I forgot to introduce myself, silly me," she cleared her throat," My name is Feying, I am the great spiritualist extroardinare, quite good at reading minds if I do say so myself. I already know you are Syaoran, a member of the Li clan in China, and oh so utterly predictable."
Enough was enough," Feying, can you please stop chattering and get serious for a change, we should be finding a way to save my friends and family and not commenting on each others faults."
Feying knew he would say something like that , quite predictable." What do you want to know?" she asked.
Syaoran was a little shocked at the change of attitude, but hid it well," First of all, who are the goddeses in my dreams and how can you help me?" he decided to speak his mind since she could read it anyway.
She answered with vibrant energy," Well they are the goddesses that reside under the tree of life, the Yggdrasil. They come from what present and everyday humans would term, Norse mythology. The goddeses of past ,present, and the future. Urd can be such a pain thinking that she knows everything. Verdandi is nice but muck to cocky because of her divination skills. Skuld is too boring and slow for me to handle. They all have their faults but they do their job well. As for me, here."
Feying took a stone from her pocket with a symbol on it and pressed it against Syaoran's palm, engraving the symbol onto his skin. The symbol itself looked like an M except with two lines that go from the stem to middle, sort of like a sideways hourglass with the lines reaching farther down form the edge of the hourglass.
" What was that?" Syaoran asked as the rune faded beneath his skin.
" That is Mannaz, the symbol for self, It is a rune from the days of old. Rune itself is a writing that means ' Secret'."
Everything clicked, such as the secret and written of ancient times and the mysterious girl, Everything except How he was supposed to use Runes to save all his friends and loved ones.
Feying, sensing his confusion, said, " Don't worry, it will work, for Runes hold the power of magic that rivals the arcane school, and their tarot cards. Your friends are, at the moment, safe. Werin can be an old geezer, Rita, a introverted woman who likes to keep everything to herself, and Zuran, who is my brother will definitely help you protect a friend because if he doesn't, then he'll deal with me. THey're all dependable allies that your friends have already made acquaintances with, but they can only hold out for so long, so they need you to gather the remaining 24 runes that can be used to protect your friends from the threat that looms ahead."
Syaoran was greatfull for her support but still wondered what this evil, that he had sensed a while back, was.
