Chapter 1:
Smoke covered the once great village, as small fires finally finished burning what was left. A slight breeze slowly began to clear the smoke away. Those who have been to the village before would have whished the smoke would have stayed. Debris of burnt houses and charred bodies covered the streets. The smell of burnt flesh still lingered in the air. No one had survived the brutal attack and fire save one.
Movement came from just outside the village as someone tried to get out from under the bodies that trapped it. Finally after many minutes a young boy had managed to free himself. He was covered in blood, though most of it was not his own, and tired. He collapsed on the ground to catch his breath. As the sun began to shine through the smoke it revealed the young boy for who he was. It was none other then Touya.
Touya stared at the body that had trapped him. It was his neighbor. He didn't remember the man's name all he knew was he hated this man. He was always staring at his sister.
The thought of her made him forget about how tired he was as he jumped up and ran to where he last saw her. He was no tracker and could not tell whose footprints belonged to whom. The sun's glare blinded him for a moment when the light caught something. Touya walked over to what was on the ground and what he saw made his heart sink. It was a crystal on a string. He slowly picked it up and held it in his hand. This was no ordinary crystal; this one had the power to heal at its owner's command but only by the owner himself would the crystal work. It was her crystal though. His sister no longer had hers and could not use it to heal when she got hurt.
Touya put the chain around his neck where it fell in place next to his and walked to the edge of the forest. Before he entered he turned and looked at the village that had been his home for as long as he could remember and bowed his head in respect. He turned back to the forest and took a deep breath. He entered and didn't look back. The journey to save his sister had now begun.
Well that was short. Oh well I guess the next chapters should be longer. Hopefully. Well I hope you have enjoyed it so far and thanks for all the reviews.
