Cords Of Fate
Chapter 1
"The meeting"
1ST PERSON POV
Deep crimson eyes looked defiantly at the darkened sky adorned by little stars.
Entranced by the immensity of the Universe, he hastily looked down again and directed his eyes to the looming road ahead.
He wasn't afraid of being totally alone in the forest, ha! He was even accustomed to it.
Not for nothing he was the best warrior in kilometers round.
He only was ashamed, why deny it damn it?
There was no use in trying to hide the horrible and haunting truth.
He had disappointed his family….
His body became suddenly stiff and is eyes turned as hard as steel with a new determination.
He will avenge them, yes; he will make that damn bastard pay for each of their lives preciously.
And now that he had found finally a way to comply the promise he made in their gravestones, he would not fail. God damned him first.
And with a furious kick at the beautiful stallion, he was lost in the night.
Aea's Temple
Two women were happily chatting in the little chapel.
Their hushed voices were heard due to the supreme silence that reigned in the sacred place.
The chapel itself was very modest; it only contained some idols of little importance at its sides and the main corridor was covered with an old red carpet that had seen better days.
And the wood benches were plain ordinary with almost no ornaments other than a bouquet of fresh lilies and a candle in each side.
But what catched the attention was the image in The center of the wall in the middle of the chapel.
It was a very beautiful image of Aea, the war and wisdom goddess.
The image itself was a beautiful woman, dressed in armor, with a strange pink jewel with the form of a tear pending from her white neck.
Her blue eyes were cold and distant, but they were a little compassionate, and kind.
Just below the image, were heard the voices that belonged to 2 young women.
Both had priestess robes, but one had more symbols engraved in her's.
She had chocolate eyes and a fiery red hair.
All the symbols in her robe meant she was the highest priestess, the most powerful and the expert in warrior techniques.
On the other hand, he other, with deep vibrant green eyes and light brown hair, was a "second" priestess, not as powerful or skilled.
She was more like the assistant of the first one.
In her neck, was pending a jewel identical to the one of the goddess but her's, was inverted.
While the brown eyed had a gold ornament adorning her neck
They didn't care of the rank, despite having to endure numerous amonestations; they continued to befriend each other.
-So 'Tomi, how was you day?
-You know, as always, I was again scolded for not learning as quickly as I ought to.
I envy you 'Kari- she said in a playful tone.
-You know 'Tomi, have you realized the tense air that has been surrounding everyone lately?
-Yes, I've been thinking lately, and all seem to be in a hurry.
I can't even go outside the temple!
-They are insane.
-Yes…and because they are truly insane… how about a little visit to the village? - Hitomi said with a smirk.
-Don't know 'Tomi, It's a little risky.
-Come on 'Kari…You don't like adventure? Tsst Tsst.
-Ok…
-So it's settled…. tomorrow night will be our little adventure!!!
-Why tomorrow?
-Haven't' you seen all the oldies?
They are like devouring all their scripts and rolls.
-Like if they don't know them enough.
-Common 'Tomi, let's go to sleep, tomorrow it's the big day.
-Ok 'Kari…let's go…I'm already sleepy.
With that, side-by-side, they went inside petite aisles that lead them to their chambers that were side by side.
Zaibach fortress
Dilandou Albatou watched impassively the being attached to what seem was a computer.
That human, if you were able to realize that there were some humanoid characteristics among all the cables, tubes, monitors, and all kind of technological stuff.
-I summoned you Dilandou, because a have a little mission for you…-he said with gleaming eyes.
-Would I be able to kill someone? - He asked with a kind of sick hope while unsheathing his sword and making strange patterns with it in the air.
-No, this time no Dilandou…-He said with a determinant tone, a tone that didn't leave space for a replica.
-I only want you to bring the priestess of the Aean temple-and quickly and harshly he added- I want her physically unscathed…do you hear me?
-Yes mi lord…shall I take someone with me? –Dilandou said while focusing his red eyes on the ones of his supposed lord.
-No, I want it simple and quick. Only you.
And with a bow that made his silver hair mask his devilious smile, he departed.
He would not harm that priestess physically but he didn't mention anything about being mental harm.
Yes, it will be an interesting trip.
City of Aea.
Crimson eyes scanned the little village.
I is fairly small and with few people-he noted.
The small but beautiful church that was Aea's temple was in the farthest corner, almost in the mountains.
It was totally white, like it was behind a copula, so white it seemed.
-Perfect for my purposes- he murmured darkly while riding his black stallion in a in a very slow pace.
For the villagers, he was just another foreign traveler seeking for shelter and maybe some food before continuing with his trip.
In some way they were right, and he was quite happy with that idea, but what they didn't know, was that he was going to take with him more than a few supplies.
With that thought in mind, he stopped before an inn called "La Buona Aventura"
Dismounting his horse, he entered the place. Never taking his cloak off.
Aea's Temple (at night)
-Ouch 'Kari!! That hurts!!!
-Sorry 'Tomi, I've never done this before- she defended herself with a kind of hurt- childish tone.
-Well… hurry up and move your foot from my head!!!
-OK, OK coming.
Seconds later, a faint rustle of leaves was heard, while dainty feet were running quietly away from the temple.
-Hahahaha!!! 'Tomi we made it!!!
-Yes 'Kari… but shhhhh someone might hear us.- said the green eyed priestess
-OK…-replied the other in a hushed tone while taking 'Tomi's hand.
He was very excited but she was also very afraid.
There were really few times that they were able to go out the temple.
She personally, had only seen the village 2 times before…like 10 years ago.
But now, she was going to enjoy this unique opportunity.
And with a new glim of determination in her brown orbs, she continued running to her moment of freedom.
While her companion was scanning the area for possible dangers.
Suddenly they stopped.
Yukari finally looked to her friend.
She was looking like a little child in front a new toy.
In front of them was finally Aea.
Outside the inn.
Monsieur Renard was the name he gave the innkeeper while using a heavy French accent.
Yes, a foreign name to avoid unwanted questions.
And if you fake that you didn't know much about the language…better.
But it had also a bad side.
The damn guy made him pay the double for the room.
Well. Not all was perfect.
He hurriedly saddled his horse.
He could feel her.
And she was near.
At the main entrance of the village.
Blood-red eyes scanned the entire crowd disdainfully while playing with a lighter in his hand.
He was mounting a really beautiful silver stallion. While he was wearing an also silver armor that matched his silver strands of hair.
All men and women backed off from the creepy warrior.
He was from Zaibach's empire.
He already knew the description of the young priestess.
Ha! In no time she will be his.
The blood in his veins began to flood quicker.
He had already located the young one.
At the same time, "Monsieur Renard" found his prey.
Outside La Buona Aventura Inn
Hitomi was standing outside the unique inn of the village, mesmerized by the people inside it.
Yukari had left her saying something about going to the main entrance to see what was causing the commotion.
-Maybe it's a really handsome bachelor – she happily said, while loosing herself in the unusual crowd.
The cloaked figure known as Renard was watching her precautious movements while adjusting his horse's saddle.
He had finally found her.
She was the one.
He darkly laughed.
She was very naïve.
She still was wearing her priestess robes by the holly Lord!!!
Did she plan to pass unnoticed like that?
At that same moment, crimson met green.
And before she was able to yell…he knocked her out, took her in his arms, and in a swift movement mounted his horse and disappeared in the night.
That didn't take more than 30 seconds.
At the other side of the little village
The beautiful brown-eyed priestess by the name of Yukari was searching for the scene that caused such a tumult.
Tired, she decided return with Hitomi.
Suddenly her blood ran cold.
Obstructing the way, in front of her, mounting an enormous horse, was a man that appeared very dangerous indeed.
Brown met sickening bloodish red.
Making an attempt to make a run for her life, the youth changes her direction, and ran.
Seconds later she felt herself being lifted up by a force.
She decided to yell.
The last thing she saw was darkness.
Dilandou smiled.
That was the easiest task he had done.
Tomorrow will be time for a little fun.
