Chapter 1:
As night shrouded the world in darkness, with only the pale moonlight to brighten ones way, the stars lit up the sky so perfectly in its silence. This radiant and beautiful darkness, however, was broken as two winged figures jetted across the sky, breaking the delicate silence and the stillness of the moment. The winged figure at the head sprayed the sky with feathers darker then the midnight it self, the other painted the sky with a shinning white mirage of heavenly feathers. They shot downward in altitude towards an ivory and marble building that held high in the sky. The ancient museum was aged with time and weather, but it wasn't the outside that the dark winged figure was after, it was what lay on the inside that counted. He shot downward at the building and stopped at most a few centimeters from the wall.
"Dark!" Yelled the white winged young man as he blasted an energy ball at his foe, the great Phantom Thief of Centuries, Dark Mousy. However, being a swift and smart as the great thief was, he dodged the blast with ease smirking at his annoyed pursuer.
"Thanks for the way in Krad love! I wouldn't want to waste any energy making one all by myself!" He laughed and flew in.
"Damn you Dark!" Krad screamed and lunged in after him.
The inside of the museum was as dark as the night outside, even though a small amount of Moonlight made it possible for shadows to dance along the walls. There were priceless paintings, sculptures, statues, jewels, artifacts, and tapestries everywhere he turned...but the thief was not here for these things, not tonight at least. Finally he stopped at a wall next to a mummy case, however...this was no ordinary wall. He looked behind him making sure his golden hunter was nowhere close behind, satisfied he lost his hunter for now, he tapped on the wall three times shortly, then two slow bangs. Suddenly, the wall opened as if it were a door and the thief quickly entered it.
The walls of this new room were bear and gray, the floor was just as cold and only the gray slabs that made it could be seen. The thief sighed, half in disappointment due to the fact of the feeble security (only a few lasers) and in contentment, that he had finally achieved his prize. He gracefully dodged the lasers and landed on the steps to a large pedestal, upon this pedestal was a glass case, within it was a red satin cloth that was carefully holding a golden necklace. The necklace was spellbindingly beautiful; a golden chain was attached to a golden pendent. The pendent had on it a crest carved and embroidered with black pearls and diamonds. The symbol was of a tiger's head; one side gave off a warm and glowing radiance, while the other, the darker side, gave off an ominous and uncomfortable aura. The thief cared not one bit about these feeling, and simply removed the glass case. Just as he reached his hand inside he felt an angered presents behind him and the next thing he knew he'd hit the floor on his face while an unknown attacker placed great weight on his back.
"Ah! Get off of me!" Dark demanded and he felt cold steel pressed against his right wrist.
"Not a chance Dark!" Krad said with a hint of triumph in his voice, "I have you now..." He grabbed Dark's other hand and prepared to cuff it when suddenly he felt Dark shift beneath him and now the thief was on top of him, only now they were face to face and Dark had pinned Krad's hands to the floor.
"Ah, who has who now my lovely pursuer?" Dark said with a mocking smile and held firm as Krad shifted violently under him.
"Let go of me now Dark! You bastard unhand me!" Krad screamed enraged at this upset to the chase.
"Hmm...let me ask you something...why should I release a creature as beautiful and perfect as you...and let you hand cuff me...and drag me off to prison thus not fulfilling my mission and ending this game of cat and mouse I so deeply love?" Dark replied with a devious smile.
"Trust me...the last place I'd ever take you is to prison..." Krad growled dangerously as he stopped wiggling under Dark seeing as the only way up was if the thief decided to stop fooling around.
"Oh...so then you'd rather take me other places then? A date perhaps?" Dark said leaning closer to him.
"No...more like...TO HELL!" Krad screamed as he finally removed his left hand from Dark's and threw a punch at him who simply leapt off the golden seraph as if he'd anticipated that move.
"Aww, and here I thought we were having a break through. You know that temper of yours is going to give you a heart attack one of these days!" He laughed and ran back to the pendent.
"Grrr..." Krad raged and then realized what Dark was after, "Wait, Dark don't!" He called out and ran after Dark.
"Don't what? Don't...this?" He asked amused and pulled the pendent from out of the hand of the red cloth and just as he did, Krad reached for it too. As their hands both grasped the pendent, the aura from the amulet grew intense and both of there worlds were covered in darkness...
