Hotohori sighed. It was hot and he was bored. 'They won't even let me ride through my own capitol on my own.' He sighed and looked out of the palanquin in which he rode at the masses of people that had gathered to watch him pass. 'Every day it's the same thing. Ruling an empire is not an easy task and I'm so lonely.' He looked up to the sky in a silent prayer. 'Oh, Suzaku, guardian of this country, show me the best way to lead my people. Show me a sign.'
Suddenly the horses shied and he was tossed about in the palanquin. He leaned out the window and stared as a bright red light burst out of the sky right in front of the procession. He heard some of his guards shouting to get him out of there but something just came over him. Something from within the red light seemed to call to him and he called a halt as his guards began to move him away. He stepped out of his palanquin as his guards protested. He silenced them with a wave of his hand and pushed his way hurriedly through the ranks of arms men.
When he got to the front, almost directly under the light, he heard a small screaming sound as the light exploded and all had to shield their eyes. When it ended the scream did as well and Hotohori turned back and gasped.
On the ground curled into a shivering heap, was a girl in strange clothing. Hotohori noticed this as he knelt on the dusty rode beside her. He brushed the hair away from her face and looked upon her strange yet beautiful foreign features. His heart sped up and then skipped a beat as she moaned.
He then noticed the gash above her left eyebrow that slowly leaked blood onto the ground. 'She must have hit her head when she fell.' He nodded to himself and then in front of everyone, gathered her in his own arms and stood, walking back to his palanquin.
Some of the guards made as if to stop him. They parted at his glare, but still voiced their thoughts. "Your majesty, she must be a demon or a witch. She might."
The young emperor stopped and turned around swiftly, still cradling the girl to his chest. "You question your emperor soldier?"
All the soldiers snapped to attention at the tone and murmurs went through the crowd. The one soldier managed to squawk out a "No sir!" then turned back to form ranks. One of the other guards helped Hotohori back into the palanquin and they were on their was again.
Hotohori looked down at the girl in his lap and studied her clothes and other features as he pressed the silk of his robe sleeve to her wound. She was dressed in some sort of course black fabric one her legs that was slightly tighter on her thighs, then baggy from her knees to her ankles. She wore thin sandals on her feet that were help on only by a strap running between her big toe and the one next to it, and then over her foot to the sides. For a top she wore a tight slightly stretchy shirt that came up to just under her well-developed breasts and showed much cleavage. She was muscular, but not unattractively so. Her hair was a dark blonde color that went down a little past her shoulder. It was long enough that she had it pulled back into a tiny ponytail at the nape of her neck, with much of it falling down to frame he face.
Hotohori once again felt his heart start to pound as she moaned again and curled closer to him. His eyes widened as she began to tremble and let out a small whimper. 'Something else is wrong. She's more injured than she seems!' He leaned forward and yelled out to the driver. "Hurry up! Move! We must get back to the palace now!"
The guard yelled an affirmative and picked up the pace. The city now whipped past them.
Hotohori looked back down at the girl and whispered to her. "Hold on. I swear that I will let no one harm you. I am going to help you."
As if in reply, and to his amazement, the girls eyes opened slightly. He gasped as he was drawn into the shocking colors. Dark blue borders, instead of black around the irises, then light blue that faded into a golden color around the pupil.
The girl shifted then squeaked in pain. Her hand came out and clutched at his robes. He was about to try and calm her when those strange eyes rolled back and she went limp.
Hotohori's eyes widened further as he stared down at her ashen face. He gently tried to wake her as they rode through the palace gates. "Hey. Hey! Wake up! Please." They pulled to a stop and he immediately hopped to the ground with his burden and shouted for them to bring the doctor. He didn't wait, but instead carried her into the palace and to the only room he knew was unoccupied. His own.
The doctor caught up to him at the door to his bedchambers and followed him in. Right now Hotohori was most concerned with putting the girl into a bed and having the doctor help her. He gently set her down in his own bed and knelt beside the head as the doctor went to work.
**********
The strange girl that had fallen from the sky a few hours earlier, moaned lightly and squinted her eyes open. She raised her hand to her pounding head and discovered a bandage around it. 'What happened? Where am I?' She looked around the dim room. and gasped at the beauty. She had never seen anything like this. 'What is this place?'
The bed she was in was very wide and comfortable and obviously in a very rich environment. She tried to sit up, but gasped and gave up as pain flared through her side. She put her hand there and once again encountered a bandage; only this one was supporting her ribs.
A sound made her start and she looked over as a door opened and a figure walked into the dim light. The girl looked up and smiled as she felt the good in this person. A sixth sense had always been a strong gift of hers as a child and still was. 'What a pretty wo. no. this is a man!'
The man had his long brown hair down and it cascaded down his back and over his shoulder. His golden eyes looked at her with kindness and a barely hidden worry that made her heart warm.
She smiled inwardly. 'He must have helped me.' She studied him more as her eyes swept over the plain white cloak that he held covering him.
The man gently sat on the side of the bed and spoke in a quiet deep voice that was just as beautiful as he was. "So you're awake. Good. I was worried for a while. My doctor bandaged you head and your ribs while you slept. You had a bad fall and hit your head. You have a small gash on your forehead that was just about deep enough to need stitches and you have two cracked ribs."
The girl smiled and answered in a sweet voice. "You helped me didn't you?"
The man smiled and nodded. "My name is Hotohori, and I promise to help you all that I can. Might I know your name?"
The girl smiled bigger. "My name is Mistyc. My friends just call me Myst. It's very nice to meet you Hotohori and I'm grateful for your help."
Hotohori nodded and took hold of her hand. "Do you remember anything that happened?"
Myst nodded and looked up at the ceiling as she spoke. "I was jogging home from the gym and taking a shortcut through the woods. Suddenly there was a bright flash of red light. It was so warm and when I opened my eyes, I was being carried by a huge red firebird. a-a phoenix. through the stars! Then the light was gone, and I was falling. I only caught glimpses of some of the buildings before I was knocked out, but from all that's happened and from the looks of this place, I don't think I'm in my world anymore. We don't have anything like this there. This must sound pretty crazy huh?"
Hotohori leaned forward with a gleam in his eyes. "That's incredible! You must tell me all about your world!"
Myst laughed, then gasped, clutching her side again.
Hotohori leaned over and cupped her cheek with his palm. She looked into his striking gold eyes as he leaned closer. "You must not push yourself. Get some more rest. I will stay with you until you wake again. We may talk more then if you wish."
She smiled beautifully. "Thank you Hotohori. I really am grateful." She yawned and continued as she fell asleep. "You're a beautiful man. Your soul I mean. Your soul sings to me. like a. like a star." With that she was asleep.
Hotohori stared at her with wide eyes as what she said rang through his mind. 'My soul?' He put a hand to his neck where the symbol hoshi appears. 'Like a star? A red bird. She must be the miko.' With that, Hotohori knelt on the floor at her side, holding her hand and watching over her until he too, joined her in sleep.
