The Blue Crystal Chapter 1
Disclaimer - I do not own DBZ so don't sue!
Two tired faces pressed up against the side of the small glass capsule. Inside, a small child moved silently in its sleep under a soft blue blanket.
"It's for the best," the elder of the two said, "she's too young to have to cope with the crisis going on at the moment."
"I know Tasna," the other person said, "but I'm worried. What if something should happen to her once she is on the planet, you know what those people are like." The one known as Tasna smiled at the other, "Do not worry Semond, she will be fine. She has her parents love to guide her."
The pair backed away from the capsule slowly as the child stirred inside. Tasna looked at her, and pointed to the child's head. A blue crystal shone in the middle of her forehead, symbolising her race and her importance in it, "you see Semond, nothing bad will happen to this child, and when the time comes, she will be brought back to us." The pair both looked at the capsule before slowly walking away.
Inside a large room lit with many candles, a meeting was being held. Suddenly, the doors flew open and a worried man stepped inside. Dressed entirely in black, he appeared to be carrying a large arrow in one hand. As the doors behind him closed, every single eye watched him as he slowly walked to an empty seat at the grand table and sat down. An eerie silence fell and it was a few seconds before anyone dared to utter a word.
"So then Levid, what news do you bring?" questioned the woman sat at the head of the table. Her whole body was covered in a red cloak and her face could not be seen. She spoke with a harsh voice that made everyone else in the room shiver.
"Well...madam chairman...bad news I'm afraid, they are closing in fast. If we don't get an army together soon...well..." Everyone looked towards the arrow the man was holding and then looked back towards the woman at the head of the table. She shook her head as if pondering about something and then returned her attention to the 20 other people sat at the table with her. "Well," she said, "for once I am unsure as to our next move. This tyrants have murdered most of the population including our King and Queen." She slowly moved the cloak away from her face and tears began to form in her eyes. She quickly wiped them away, "we must be strong. We cannot let these people take control of our planet. Levid, please pass me that arrow." "Yes Ma'am."
As the meeting continued in the grand ballroom of the palace, Tasna and Semond walked slowly down the corridor, nodding their heads in acknowledgement of anyone they knew. They came to a door shaped like a star and encrusted with blue diamonds and knocked on it three times. "Enter," a voice said from inside. Slowly, the pair walked inside and bowed as a figure appeared from the darkest corner of the room. "Is the child alright?" the figure asked. "Yes sir, she is sleeping peacefully in the capsule. It shall soon be time for her to leave, do you wish to say goodbye to her?" Tasna asked. "In time, in time. You must know Tasna, that I am getting weak, I shall not be able to rule this planet for long." "Yes sir, I know, your son would have been very happy and proud to know that you are fighting against your health to protect this planet." "They do say Tasna, that it is one of the life's greatest tragedies when a father outlives his son." Tasna looked up and smiled at the aged man, "yes I know sir, but they do also say that those who fight against their health to protect something they love, are the greatest of all men." The figure looked down and placed his hand on Tasna's head, "you are a good man Tasna and have served myself and my son well." He then sighed and moved his hand away. "I wish to see my grand-daughter now, will you please take me to her?" "Yes sir, please follow me."
