Prolog: The Book
China, a country that holds a great mysterious past; an era in which family fought with family and friends with friends, ideals were forged and the hunger for power erupted uncontrollably. The era you may know of already from the title of this tale, the era known as the Three Kingdoms. This era was one of great turmoil and sorrow. This tale however will tell the story in a different point of view, the views of ones who were not from that world but another, or should I say not from that time. We shell place in that world children who have already been to another world known as the digital world where they had battle for the shake of their world and themselves. This time however they will have to fight on their own without their digimon friends and will discover many, many emotions amongst each other and others surrounding them. Come, come and witness this tale. Together these thirteen friends will embark on adventure that will bring them both closer and farther apart, and the many emotions and confessions the will come to light...
We will begin in Odaiba in a year after the Digidestined's final battle with MaloMyotismon. Many things had changed and the Digidestined's lives returned to normal, little did they know that the normality of their lives would end once again...
"Good morning class,"
"Good morning Mr. Liang," the class said as their teacher entered the room.
"I hope you all did the reading I assigned, for today will be continuing our studies on the Three Kingdoms era of China?" Mr. Liang said as he sat his bag down and took out a history book. Liang, I'm sure some you recognize that name; it's alright if you don't though. Now listen and watch, "Open your books to page four zero eight. Now as you know..." the teacher began his lacquer and all listened with opened ears, except for one who's mind was he fiddled with his pencil and gaze out the window ignoring those around him. His mind was filled with thoughts and questions.
"Hey, Tai is this boring or what?" whispered his best friend Matt Yamato sitting next to him.
"Huh...what..." Tai replied.
"This lacquer, it's one of the most boring things I've ever heard, what about you?"
"Not really,"
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't like it at first, but now its one of my favorite topics," Tai said.
"Hey you too batter, shut up or Mr. Liang going split you two apart permanently," Sora said sitting in front of Tai.
Tai and Matt grew silent and time went by until finally their last glass of the day ended and they were released to head home. On their way out of the class however Mr. Liang asked Sora, Tai and Matt to stay behind. They stood in front of him and awaited his questions.
"Now, then, tell me is it true you three had a part in stopping the strange activities that went one a year ago?" Liang asked.
"If your talking about the digimon yeah, we've were involved in both events that involved the digimon," Sora said
"I see...you three must pretty strong then," Liang said with a smile and wise look.
"Not really sir, our digimon did pretty much all the fighting," Tai said smiling modestly.
"Hum...in any case, how did you guys like the lacquer. Did it interest you?" Liang asked.
"I prefer to let history be history no reason to remember it,"
"I disagree with Matt. I enjoyed hearing about the Three Kingdoms, though I'd really like to know a bit more then what our history books can tell," Tai said.
"I'm with him," Sora said smiling
"Really...well let's see..." Liang said as he dug through his bag and then pulled out an old book wrapped in a white cloth, "Hear Tai take this, it's a book believed to have been written during the three kingdoms. It's been translated into Japanese so it should be readable a little,"
Tai the book and unwarped it. He touched the dragon marking upon it and it flash a faint light for a just a second. Tai shook his head a little and looked at his teacher in front of him, "Ah Sir how did you get this,"
"It's a family heirloom. I've from China you see. Feel free to borrow it, but be very careful with it,"
"Ah...yes thank you sure I will," Tai replied joyfully warping back up. Then he and his friends left the class and met with Izzy outside. The four them walked to the park where they met Tai's sister, Kari and their other friends.
"Hey what took you so long?" Davis asked.
"We got held up by our teacher sorry if you waited too long," Matt said.
"Not at all, but we should get going if we're going to meet Mimi and Michael at the airport before their plane comes in," Joe suggested.
"Yeah let's go now," Sora said.
"All of them walked to the station and took a train to the airport. Knowing the trip was going to take at a half an hour, Tai took out the book his teacher gave him and began looking through it. It wasn't long before Sora and the others noticed spoke.
"So how is it so far?" Sora asked.
"Huh...what?" Tai replied in confusion.
"The book? How is it?" Sora repeated.
"It's pretty interesting, but confusing. There are a lot of things here that don't really add up. Like this mentioning about some guys name Moon Eli and Aura Li-rai,"
"Moon Eli..." Davis said.
"Aura Li-rai..." TK
"Tai what is that book anyway?" Kari asked.
"It's a book my teacher let me borrow. He said it has something to do with China's Three Kingdom era," Tai said, "But some of the people they're talking aren't really mentioned in the history book. Like this other guy or girl as it says name Dark Vin and this other one called Seara Yun,"
"Those are strange names for it be from that era, are you sure that books on the three Kingdoms?" Izzy asked.
"Yeah, it mentions the Yellow Turban Rebellion and it even talks about the coalition against Dong Zhou. It also says something about some one name Zha Lan," Tai said.
"Here let me see it?" Yolei asked. Tai hand it to her and she took it with care, she looked through it with surprise and shock, "This is wired, I read the book about the Three Kingdoms and it never mentioned anything about these people,"
"What do you mean?" Cody and Ken asked.
"Listen to this," Yolei said, "After the allies' victory over Dong Zhuo, The Moon, Dark, Ear, Chu, Tin, Seara, Wind and Aura families deported and disappeared mysteriously. They had fought hard and played a key role in the battles against the Yellow Turban and Dong Zhuo. These strong warriors were at first called cowards even after everything they had done, but it was later discovered as to why they had left. They discovered..."
"Discovered what?" Tai asked.
"The rest of its too hard to read I can't it make out?" Yolei replied handing the book back to Tai.
Tai glanced at it a little and found nothing else on what happened to the families the book had mentioned. It was if they had dropped off the face of the earth. He turned back to the beginning and read some more and learned of two others who had a connection with the families. Fir Li and Zha Lin, Fir Li it said was the forgotten son of Guan Yu and Zha Lin was the forgotten son of Zhang Fai. Tai mentioned this to his friends and Izzy took the book from him and looked it over.
"This doesn't make sense, according to this Fir Li was Guan Yu's son by blood, but that can't be possible because Guan Yu did have a son but he was adopted son named Guan Ping," Izzy stated,.
"Well you do have to take into account that the book was written during that era, so it must mention a lot of things that the books that we have don't mention at all. The people back then must have chosen not to talk about them after all it did say they were called cowards after suddenly disappearing,"
"Yeah, but it did they're names were cleared, but we don't how," Ken said.
"Hey Tai maybe Mr. Liang can explain. Why not ask him more on Monday?" Sora said.
"I'll do that I just hope he can answer my questions," Tai said.
"Next stop Odaiba airport,"
"Hey here's our stop," Davis said.
They got off the train and went to the where Mimi and Michael's plane was to come in. Luckily they had arrived at the gate where Mimi and Michael where coming through and got their just as their friends were walking through the gate. They called out to them and Mimi and Michael answer. The two of them walked over to their friends and the girls hugged Mimi, well Tai and the other guys shook hands with Michael. They talked a short while and then went to the train. They got on and went first Sora's where they dropped off Mimi's things and then to Matt's where they dropped off Michael's. Afterward they all went out for pizza and as they waited for their meal Tai continued to read the book given to him by his teacher. Michael noticed this and spoke...
"Hey Tai, what's that you got there?" Michael asked.
"It's a book on the Three Kingdoms era of China; my History teacher gave it to me. It's pretty good but confusing," Tai replied.
"Allow me to see. I have a bit of an interest in that era of China myself," Michael said. Tai handed it to him and he began to look it over.
"You're still reading that. I've haven't seen you this far into a book since, never," Matt said looking over his seat.
"Well unlike you Mr. Music he's grown to like reading and it would be nice if you would too," Sora said grabbing him and making him sit back down.
"Tai this book is really amazing, but confusing. I don't believe I've heard anything about what this book's talking about! This Dark Rose and Seara Relena are a mystery. Listen, Dark Rose and Seara Relena were female leaders for a volunteer force of fighters against Dong Zhuo. They also specialized in training young females who also wanted to fight. It was at first considered that they wouldn't be of any real use, but later they became a valuable resource in the battles against Dong Zhuo. Many of Dong Zhuo's troops not only underestimated them, but couldn't really bring themselves to slay a woman, but of course that didn't stop the lady fighters from slaying them,"
"Why are you so interested in that book any Tai?" Davis asked confusingly.
"I have an interest in the three kingdoms era that's all," Tai replied.
"Why don't you read it maybe it'll increase your own desire to learn," Ken said.
"The only thing that'll make Davis want to learn about something like that is if the people played soccer!" Kari laughed.
Everyone laughed with, but just gave a sour look, "Ha ha very funny," Davis said.
Three minutes passed and they're food arrived after eating it was late and all chose to go home. Along the way the older kids further talked about the Three Kingdoms including Matt. They began to wonder what it was like to live such era. They wondered what kind of lives they would live if they were too suddenly be sent back there. Little did they know that their questions would be answered, as the book shined a faint, blue light within Tai's book bag.
Night came and Tai and his friends did what homework they were given and then went to bed. Tai went to bed a bit later then his sister he read over the book a little more and then set down on his desk and went to sleep...
...Fact and Fiction, Reality and Fantasy, Real and Unreal, which is true, which is not. Is Reality really what we see with our own eyes? A life of real or the life of the unreal; which would you chose. A life of fantasy or a life of reality now is the time for these young men and woman to choose their destinies. The era that showed so much sorrow and chaos, let us see what lives they will live and paths they shell follow. Let us see if their friendships will withstand the chaos and betrayal that will take place in this era. Let us watch and see how they shell deal with lose of friends and if they're desire to return to their real life come to them or not. It all begins now...
