Peace Comes Only Through Bloodshed
Chapter One: Embarkment
Disclaimer: Wished I owned but I don't. The characters I own will be listed at the bottom.
The palace of Fialen, a remote Kingdom of the digital world.
A young girl stared unhappily before her. Her scarlet locks fluttering in the wayward wind. He eyes were closed and her pink limps set into a delicate frown. Her slim figure was clad in a violent crimson the accented her tresses wondrously. Around her waist was a gray sash that contrasted oddly against its bold counterpart. She held in her hands a sole picture of a boy. The boy had a goofy smile adorning his face and his chocolate eyes speckled with blissful joy. His hair was evenly matched with is eyes and seemed to defy gravity unknowingly. Surrounding him was a group of teens giving off the same boisterous air. Her slender fingers clutched the worn photo in loving grasp.
"Young Miss?"
The girl whirled around and snapped her eyes open to reveal glistening gray orbs that brought the gray sash around her waist alive with color. "Yes?"
The intruder bowed deeply before the scarlet lady, the thought of speaking entering his mind afterwards. "The Lord and his councilors request your presence."
The girl gave the servant a small nod of acceptance before rushing out of her room, dropping the photo on her dresser as she went. The servant walked over to the photo and looked at it with something similar to mirth.
"Don't worry Young Miss your prince will be here soon." The servant walked out of the stone room after carefully placing the photo in a drawer.
The real world
Taichi Kamiya stretched lazily as he blinked sleepily at the morning sun. His gravity defiant hair was hanging over his face in an annoying manner. He tapped his pencil against his wooden desk to a beat only he could hear. He turned his gaze to study the rest of the class. The teacher was explaining some complicated math formula that gave Tai a head ache from just looking at. Damn math class. [side note: no kidding... -.-''] When were they going to use it anyway? He turned his attention to one of his best friends, Yamato. He almost gagged when he saw him staring longingly at Tai's old crush and Matt's current girlfriend, Sora. The love sick look in his eyes could make anyone feel nauseous.
"Tachi Kamiya, would you please give the answer to the formula?" Tai couldn't help but notice the victorious smirk that filtered across the Teachers face when Tai snapped himself to dull reality with a shocked expression adorning his handsome face. Damn teacher.
Tai stood up and opened his mouth to say that he had no idea what the answer was, when his vision started to swim. He clutched his desk and shook his head. When he felt stable again he straightened himself and looked at his teacher who was watching with boredom. He frowned and opened his mouth to say something when another barrage of pain assaulted him. Doubling over he clenched his teeth together to suppress a scream. The teacher's bored look quickly changed to one of alarm.
"Taichi are you alright?"
By now everyone in the class was looking worriedly at him. Matt and Sora started to head toward him when they to were assaulted with the same invisible force. While Taichi desperately clung to consciousness he heard faint screams from other classes and shouting go on through out the whole school. Finally Taichi's mental strength gave out and he succumbed into a blissful darkness free of pain.
Unknown
Yamato grimaced in pain as he became aware of himself again. He opened his eyes, but immediately shut them again when the way to bright to be normal sun light beat down on his unused eyes. He sat up and looked down blinking the colorful dots from his vision. When he felt normal again he looked around. All the original digi-destined were scattered on a lush field that surrounded them. Slowly they each came around. When Sora groaned in pain, Matt was instantly by her side.
"Are you okay?"
"I think so, but my head feels like someone hit it with a sledge hammer." Matt embraced Sora and held her close. Sora returned his hug and snuggled into his warmth, her headache already fading.
"Hey lovebirds, if Kari gets any ideas from you two, I'll kill you." Tai looked at them his eyes sparkling playfully.
Matt scowled at his long-time friend as he released Sora from his hold. "Don't worry, you ruined the moment."
"Hey what am I here for?" [Who is this speaking?]
"Comic relief." [and this...?]
"That hurts Mr. Spiky Hair." [I take it this is the same guy as the 1st comment]
"Oh I really didn't need to wake-up to one of Taichi's and Yamato's fights." [Which secondary character is this, Sora?]
" I didn't either." [Mimi...?]
"Really guys, do you think you could wait until after we know where we are to bicker." [Joe...?]
"You mean you don't know where we are?" [Take it Tai said this?]
"Oh Taichi then please enlighten us, because I have know clue." [Who is this...?]
"Me? I have know idea I was just thinking that if Izzy didn't know then we are in real trouble." [I take it Tai said this?]
"You are in the Digital Realm."
"Who said that?" Tai whirled around looking for the unknown speaker.
"I did." A girl that looked around their age stumbled out of the forest. She donned a pair of tan Capri's and a loose crimson shirt that hid her figure from wondering eyes. Her red hair was tied up into a high ponytail and a few wisps had come out to frame her oval face. Her gray eyes seemed to ignore everyone, but Tai. Her face was housing a joyous smile.
"Who are you?" Matt stepped in front of Sora and protectively waited for an answer that never came. When no answer came, he gritted his teeth in annoyance. "I asked you a question."
"I am well aware of that, but I do not answer to you." Her eyes never left Tai and her smile never dimmed, yet her voice was void of every emotion.
"What do you mean by that?" Tai asked voicing everyone's thoughts.
"I meant that I would only answer to those that hold power over me or those I trust." Everyone almost fell over when her voice swelled with youthful happiness.
"Then why do you answer to Tai?" Izzy's curiosity gnawed at him. He waited awhile before he accepted that there would be no answer.
Sighing Tai repeated Izzy's question. He was startled when the girl's smile turned to a sad one. "I had hoped you wouldn't need to ask, but since you did I must answer. I answer to you, because I know who you really are, and please don't ask. I was only supposed to bring you to the council not tell you your past."
"Okay I won't ask, but could tell us who you are?" Tai asked with curiosity.
"You can call me Sila."
"Okay, Sila, I'm Taichi and these are my friends. Mimi is the one with the pink hair, Joe is the one with the geeky glasses and blue hair, Izzy is the short red head, Kari, my younger sister, is the one with the camera around her neck, T.K. is the one with the creepy hat, the guy with blond hair and cocky attitude is Yamato, but we call him Matt, and Sora is the girl with red hair." Tai watched Sila's reaction to each person. Kari and Joe were given small smiles. Mimi received a bright smile that simply dazzled Tai. T.K. and Izzy got indifferent glances and Matt and Sora received the short end of the stick with glares that were in place of their welcome smiles.
Turning to face the whole group, Sila bowed deeply and spoke with a courtly air. "It is a pleasure to meet you." Matt and Sora shot her disbelieving glance, but didn't say anything.
"Now where are?" Mimi's voice broke through and everyone shot her a glance that plainly said Why did you even ask? There isn't going to be an answer.
"We are currently in the Forest Kingdom, but by nightfall we should reach the Fire Kingdom. Though we'll have to sneak through, they don't like strangers. Yet all together we are in the Digital Realm and don't look at me like that. This is an alternate dimension to the Digital World."
Everyone stared at their mystery woman in surprise.
Sila gave them all rueful glances. "What? To much for you to digest?"
Joe pushed his glasses back up on the bridge of his nose. "So are there Digimon here?"
"Yes, in fact there are. They travel in between the two worlds at their own will. We can too if we want, but the land there is so unorganized that we never can tell if there is a war going on or not."
"So can our Digimon transport themselves here?" Izzy gazed in wonder as his brain was grasping the new knowledge. Unfortunately for him Sila gave no intention of answering his question.
Tai opened his mouth to say something when a deep growl reverberated across the small clearing and interrupted him. Whirling around to locate the source of the noise, he found himself being knocked to the ground by a rather large force. He struggled against it for a moment until the beast that now stood atop him snarled, pushed him deeper into the plush sod with its paws.
"Get off him, sprite!" Sila's commanding voice carried a low threat that promised great pain to anyone who dared deify her word. Tai was barely surprised that the creature leapt off him and landed on the ground in front of Sila quivering.
"I'm sorry, Mistress. Please, spare me. I didn't know he was claimed by you." The shaking form of the sprite had changed from a mighty green panther into a small woman bowing deeply at Sila. The sprite had green hair that fell pleasantly on her delicate frame. Her green clothing hugged her lithe frame and assented everything. It was a deep green that was impossible to tell from the forest canopy around them. Her leaf green eyes were doe wide with fright and seemed to dart every where, looking for some escape.
Sila seemed to bristle more with every word that came out of sprites mouth. Especially since a large amount of these comments were about her claiming the human boy. Tai wasn't so sure what it meant, but from the way Sila looked it couldn't be something good. Her temper finally snapped and flames literally sprang from the ground around her. The sprite leapt in dismay and cowered before the enraged girl. "I have not claimed him!" Her voice took on a soft undertone laced with unmistakable wrath.
The sprite whimpered and then suddenly dissipated into nothingness, right before their eyes. Everyone stared in shock as Sila's anger slowly ebbed away. It was a while before the flames had completely disappeared and the only evidence of her anger were the scorch marks that littered most of the ground. Slowly she turned to them and gestured them to follow.
Before they set off Tai couldn't help but ask one last question. "What did that sprite lady mean by claiming?"
Before she stomped off into the thick greenery, Sila shot him a fiery death glare that looked nearly like it really would kill him. Damn. When was he going to learn to keep his mouth shut? ------
Hello hope you enjoyed. Sila belongs to me so she's off limits. R/R
