RETURN OF THE ATLANTIANS-CH 1

I carried Mamoru in my arms as I walked quietly through the thick brush. But my footsteps slowed as I heard a scream in the distance. I gently laid Mamoru down as he began to stir.

"What is it mommy?"

I gently kissed his forehead before straightening and facing the direction from which I had heard the scream.

"Someone's in trouble and I'm going to help them. I will be back in a few minutes."

With that I pulled the hood of my cloak up to cover my face from view and proceeded to walk silently towards the place I had heard the scream come from. I stood in the shadows and looked in on the gruesome scene in front of me.

'Mamoru, whatever you do, stay hidden from view. Don't come out until I tell you too alright?'

The answer she got back was an affirmative 'Alright.'

She turned her attention back to the scene in front of her. There were two families one man was on the ground surrounded by a pool of blood, while another man and what looked like his teenage son stood with swords raised facing off against 3 soldiers. Behind them stood two women with small children huddled behind them in fear. One of the larger soldiers raised his sword as if to attack as the two fighting men tensed up.

(No one else will get hurt here) I stepped out of the shadows and looked over the three soldiers quickly.

"Stop this now, leave these people alone. If you are looking for a fight, fight me." The soldiers turned to her as did the men. She quickly moved in front of them and whispered over her shoulder.

"Go and make sure your families are alright. I will take care of them." With that she turned back to the soldiers as the men backed away, taking the man on the ground with them. She threw off her cloak and got into a fighting position, her sword raised at the soldiers.

The families behind her gasped in shock as the soldiers in front of her gaped and let their eyes rove over her body. She wore tight black leather pants, knee high tan boots, a baggy emerald colored shirt with a tight black corset over top of that.

"Now tell my why you were after this family before I kill you." The soldiers laughed as the leader of the group stepped forwards.

"We are Zaibach. We were sent to kill all residents of Fanelia by orders of Emperor Dilandau." He began to approach Hitomi as he was saying all this. Hitomi's smirk though grew when he came to a mere few feet in front of her. She whispered something so only he could hear and watched as his eyes widened. But before he could do as much as raise his sword, her own sword went slicing across his neck slicing cleanly through the artery as he fell dead to the ground.

She turned to the others and once again got into a fighting position. Immediately they charged at her and they began to fight. Soon both were on the ground dead, their swords covered in their own blood.

'Mamoru, you can come into the clearing now.' With that she turned and headed towards the families. She knelt beside the man now propped up against a tree.

"Th. . . thank you miss. . . for helping us." She turned her emerald eyes to the wife of the injured man.

"I do only as anyone with a decent heart should." She turned and laid a hand on the wound on the man's stomach. She closed her eyes and concentrated as a green glow surrounded her hand and the wound. When she pulled her hand away the wound was gone and the man opened his eyes.

He sat up straight and looked around his quickly. "Where are the soldiers?" He then spotted their bodies on the ground surround by their own blood. Before he could say anymore his daughter and toddlers threw themselves into his arms crying, followed by his wife.

Hitomi took this time to walk over to the fallen bodies of the soldiers and held out one hand. Immediately a fire sprang around them, burning the bodies so that there was nothing left, not even their swords.

She turned around to see the gapping faces of the two families behind her. She quickly grabbed her cloak and pulled it around her shoulders after wiping off her sword and re-sheathing it.

"In which direction is Fanelia?" She looked up and faced the two families. Just then Mamoru came out of the shadows of the forest into the clearing and ran to Hitomi.

"Are you alright 'mommy'?"

"Yes I am alright." She turned back to the families who now stood facing them.

"Now in which direction is Fanelia?"

One of the men stepped forwards and pointed behind Hitomi towards the west. "In that direction"

Without saying another word, Hitomi spun on her heel, and followed by Mamoru headed back into the forest in the direction of Fanelia.

One of the women called out to her before they disappeared into the forest. "Are you a sorceress?"

Hitomi's echoing voice answered them back. "Yes, you could say that." And with that she was swallowed by the shadows of the forest. They continued to look at the last place they had seen her, before a smile came across the women's faces.

Together they both smiled and said, "The warrior to represent all women, the one to save Gaea along with her knight, the one to make the wrong right, and to bring peace to our lands . . . the seer of the Ancients."

SCENE CHANGE

Hitomi raised her hood again to cover her face and began to walk in the direction of Fanelia. Mamoru walked briskly beside her, trying to keep up with her long strides.

"Mommy, why'd you tell them you were a sorceress?" He looked up at her. She indeed was a sight to look upon, beauty, grace, power, strength. These were qualities that had long ago disappeared among the people of this land, of their people.

Mamoru still didn't know where they came from, but he could guess that she knew, and he trusted her.

She looked down at him after a long moment and stopped to crouch down to his level.

"Because Mamoru, they must know. They are to be the ones to restore hope back into this land. The people must know that I am here, that I will help to right what has so wrongly been undone."

He looked into her deep emerald eyes and nodded. "What are we though mommy? I am so confused. What makes us so different from everyone else?"

Hitomi closed her eyes tightly before rising to her feet. "In time you will know, but for now you must trust in me and that I would only hide something from you if it was of the gravest importance. You must trust me."

He looked down at his feet dejectedly before raising his eyes once again to those of her emerald orbs.

"I always have, nothing could change that." Hitomi's eyes came to look down at him as she smiled down at him.

"How would you like a ride on my back?" His eyes lit up in excitement.

"Really... Of course I would mommy. I love you" I picked him up as he wrapped his arms around my neck. He giggled happily as I bounced him around. He squealed in delight as she began to skip as he tightened his grip on her neck.

She smiled as he titled his face to give her a quick kiss on the cheek before resuming his giggling. The smile vanished from her face as she stared darkly ahead of her.

The prophecy will be fulfilled and our people shall once again be brought back to its rightful place on Gaea. We shall no longer live in hiding; we shall take back what is rightfully ours and shall take back our temples and palace. We shall hide no more. And Mamoru can live in peace and grow up as all children should without a worry in the world.

I watched the trees around us, ever watchful for the eyes of the enemy. They shall pay for what they have done.
