Last Exile

15 years after the war of the Nations

The story starts off with Claus having a mysterious dream...

'Dear Claus, this is about someone dear to you,'
'Something will happen'
'But what?'
'This time you will not be able to save her'
'Be careful, remember everything has a purpose'
'There is nothing you can do'

'Waa!' Claus woke up suddenly after having a dream with himself in darkness hearing those words, 'Lavie! Lavie!' Claus ran through the doors faster and faster, till he got to her room, but when he got there, nothing was there. "oh no, the dream was right!" "umm Claus, I'm right behind you" Claus turned around and saw Lavie with a toothbrush in her mouth, staring at him with a look of 'what are you doing now, freak' on her face. "Oh Lavie, the dream didn't come true" "What dream?" "The dream I just had" "Whatever, can you get out of my room now, I'm kinda tired." "Umm sure..." Clause, embarrassed by his quick actions, slowly went back to his room, when he was half way the hallway suddenly went dark, a figure of a young boy appeared, Claus stared at it, he had never seen a pure white figure before, especially one like this, it seemed to glow, but not really, it was more dim then light, and more light then dark, where the eyes should be on a normal boy, there was nothing, no mouth, no nose, no eyes, no hair, no nothing. "Who are you?" Claus said, "Why are you here?" "I am your fears, I am your dreams, I am you" "What does that mean?" Claus said puzzled, "I am you and yet not, I am human, yet spirit, I am hope and yet despair" "you are annoying, yet comparative," "you are imperfect, you are not you," "I am me, why do you say such things" "you were once brave, but now, you are a fool, you were once fearless, now you cower in fear over bumps in the night, you used to do what you believed to be right, but now, you do things that are 'safe'" "You are making no sense at all" "Or am I, is it bothering you so much to learn about your past?" "No it bothers me to be kept from my sleep" "you used to be so much more, why did you go and ruin it all?" "shut up" "you are now nothing more then a coward" "Shut Up" "A coward with nothing to look forward to in life but suffering" "SHUT UP!"
Claus approached the figure and grabbed it by the shirt, "TELL ME, WHY DID YOU TELL ME THOSE THINGS IN MY DREAM, WHY!?" "to prepare you, Lavie is..." "SHE'S FINE, SO LEAVE US ALONE, SHE DID NOT GET HURT, NO, SHE WON'T GET HURT I WON'T ALLOW IT!" "you can't help her where you're going, and the time to go is now." The figure disappeared and Claus hears "Now" coming from all directions, and begins spiraling, he falls to the floor, afraid what the figure meant.
The morning Lavie comes out to make breakfast, and since Claus's strange behavior she decides to wake him up and see if he's sain today. "HEY CLAUS, WAKE UP!" Lavie looks all around their house, but she finds nothing, no sign of him at all. "IF YOU'RE PLAYING A JOKE IT ISN'T FUNNY" She walks outside because she hears voices, on the ground is Claus's motionless body, no sign of movement, draped in blood. "No, No! NO!" she runs to him "CLAUS YOU PROMISED YOU'D NEVER LEAVE ME, so why'd you break it?"
