Prologue 2: The puppets and the mysterious visitor
The day was as beautiful as it was that time… but as for Elyzia, everything seems inferior and foolish. She blamed her self and thought that, if she could have been there she might have save the village. All her thinking always ended up into tears…tears that never end and so from that day on, she vowed to avenge her village from those people.
From that cause Elyzia wanted to gain strength and power that caused her to learn more skills about her mystical power and… at the same time, a girl at the same age as her arrived. A girl who had a pale white skin, hair of light yellow, cut short just above her shoulders and eyes of light blue. Elyzia gave her quick but forced smile…because she didn't want anyone to see, she was unhappy.
Priest Sephion introduced the girl standing next to him.
" This is Sarah, from now on she will study here with us…" He said with a sort of annoyed tone.
Elyzia stood up and…
" It's nice to meet you, Sarah. I'm Elyzia Mardorious. " She said forcing herself again.
The two of them then began their lessons for the day but every moment could pass as so it did, night finally came. Elyzia went back to her assigned room and dressed ready to sleep. As she finished someone knocked at her door, it was Sarah…
She was surprised at her; she seemed to be carrying a book. Elyzia got surprised at her late night visit.
" May I come in? " She asked.
"… Yes- sure." Elyzia said.
Sarah looked around her room and realized it was the same as hers.
" May I sit? " She asked again.
" …Sure, you could sit up there if you desire so." Elyzia replied pointing at her bed.
" Is it alright? " Sarah asked.
" Yes! " Elyzia answered.
Both of them climbed Elyzia's bed. Sarah finally laid down the book she was carrying.
" What can I do for you then? " Elyzia asked this time.
" Tell me? You seemed to be upset about something… are you angry with me? " Sarah said.
Elyzia spoke with out a moment's pause.
" No!" She said.
" Then I'm glad. " She replied.
Sarah opened the book in front of her and turns it to a certain page.
" I wanted to show you this book. " She said.
" What is it about? " Elyzia asked.
Sarah gave the book to Elyzia and let her see what was in it.
" …This is- Sindar texts… could you read this? " Elyzia said.
" Yes. " She answered.
" You could? " Elyzia said surprised.
Elyzia got surprised that Sarah was able to read those things and thought of it as her ability. Awhile-later Elyzia surprisingly asked Sarah a question.
" …Sarah…Tell me what are you exactly doing here? " Elyzia sadly said.
" …To tell you the truth. I just wanted to see if you were okay. " She said with a smile at her face.
" No. That's not what I meant. " Elyzia said.
Sarah was silenced at her. Then finally…
" I was brought here by a priest. " Sarah said with a faint smile.
" Why? Didn't your parents stop him? " She said.
" No…I-I didn't want my parents to get hurt because of me…as you had witnessed I had a power that no one else had… and because of that I was called a witch… " Sarah said tears suddenly appeared.
Elyzia felt sorry for her as she to herself did.
" You know… I was brought here because of the same reason. " Elyzia then smiled at Sarah.
" I had wonderful memories in where I came from. My father and mother died when I was still a baby. My grandmother then looked me after since then. " Elyzia said trying to make Sarah happy again.
" Really…" She answered back.
" I was brought here because of my powers as well… " Elyzia said facing Sarah.
Both of them silenced for a moment.
" Hey! Tell me have you met someone by the name of " Sasarai "? " Elyzia asked Sarah.
" No. Is he a nice person? " Sarah asked.
" Well, he seemed nice…hey! How about lets go and meet him tomorrow. " Elyzia said with a smile.
" Sure! " Sarah replied.
Sarah then returned to her room and waited for the next day to come. Elyzia then slept after Sarah left.
The following day both of them waited for each to come out of their rooms.
" So, where is he? " Sarah then asked.
" We have to hurry or the guards will see us. " Elyzia said.
" Yes. " Sarah replied.
Sarah noticed that Elyzia seemed happy to visit this certain person. They got there with out any guard chasing them around. Then finally reached it.
" This is it. " Elyzia spoke.
" Wow! " Sarah said.
Elyzia knocked at the wooden door but no one answered.
" Where is he? " She asked herself.
" Maybe he went somewhere. Let's just come back some other time. " Sarah then decided.
" Yeah. Maybe you're right. " Elyzia agreed.
The two went back and hoped that some other time he'll be present. It was almost time for their classes to start and they where early. Priest Sephion was surprised as he has always arrived earlier then them.
" I never imagined that the two of you will come so early than usual. " He said with an annoying tone.
Elyzia and Sarah didn't seemed to be affected by his tone of voice and just continued in what they're doing.
They began their class then. Elyzia didn't seem interested in the lesson until…
" Open your Text book to page 391. " Sephion said.
Elyzia turned the book to the certain page that the priest ordered and notices that the young man they tried to visit earlier was a "Bishop ". Elyzia tried to read it for herself and know much more about him.
Bishop Sasarai of HarmoniaActing leader of the Congregation. Said to be a holder of a
True Rune and the successor of The Chief Bishop, Hikussak.
Elyzia could not believe that the " Sasarai " she met was an important person and to find if the book speaks about him is true she stood-up and…
" Sir! Tell me is this " Sasarai " guy really is a Bishop! " She demanded an answer.
Sephion and Sarah was surprised by the sudden questionof Elyzia but the priest didn't answer her at all and…
" Sir! I'm begging you! This person, is he really a Bishop! " Elyzia demanded again.
The Priest sees that Elyzia wasn't bluffing by her sudden question and decides to answer her.
" The Bishop wasn't really joking when he spoke to me about you being straight to you questions." He said.
" What do mean? " Elyzia said.
" What I meant is that…Bishop Sasarai spoke to me about you making that straight questions. " The priest replied.
" So then it really is true he's a bishop. " Elyzia said.
" Yes. " He replied again.
" Where is he, Sir? " She asked again.
" It's none of your business, girl! " He replied with a sudden blow in his voice.
Elyzia sat down quietly as Sephion continues the lesson he began. Sarah seemed to notice something with Elyzia and she waited until the day was over.
After their lessons, while they were walking. Sarah then spoke to Elyzia.
" …Elyzia, by any chance you like this person called Sasarai? " Sarah asked.
" What? No! I just…wanted to know where he is…" Elyzia replied almost blushing.
Sarah laughed at her as her face turns red then paused.
" Elyzia… could you go to the… garden later at exactly 8: 00? " She asked.
" Why? " Elyzia asked back.
" I-I wanted you to meet somebody so dear to me… will you come? " She said.
" Well… if this guy sure is important to you then, I guess I could go. " Elyzia answered back.
" Really! I'm sure he'll be happy to meet you. " Sarah smiled with joy.
Night then came. Elyzia was still studying, she realized that it was 8:30 already, as soon as she opened her door soldiers all over were patrolling the halls. She wondered why and went to see Sarah. The large windows leading to Sarah's room where all broken, curtains where all torn and cold air coming out of the room. Priest Sephion was their and some other priests talking to one another about the incident.
Elyzia was shocked on what happened and went to find Sarah but didn't find her in the torn room of hers. Sephion sees Elyzia and knelt, placing his two hands on her shoulder.
" Elyzia, I want you to go back in your room and lock every single one of your door and window. Am I clear? " He said.
" Yes. Where is Sarah? " She then asks.
The priest then silently paused then spoke.
" There was an intruder here and kidnapped the poor child… " He said.
Elyzia once again looked at the torn room and… felt an unbelievable force of energy trailing from the inside and out the door. She didn't tell the Priests and just ran of following the energy as she ran of one of the guards followed her around as was ordered but she didn't noticed it.
" This power its very similar… to, this person maybe the one who abducted Sarah. I'm going to find that person and… " She said.
Elyzia followed the energy that came from Sarah's room and found it trailing to the garden. She then sees Sarah sitting in one of the chairs in the garden and senses the mysterious energy near her.
" Sarah!" She said.
Sarah notices her and slowly approaches Elyzia.
" Sarah! Thank goodness your safe. I thought those strangers kidnapped you. " Elyzia then sighed in relief.
Sarah smiled back at Elyzia then…
" You know you're late! " Sarah said.
" Yes. I know that but first we have to get away for this place. " Elyzia sounding worried about something and taking a grip at Sarah's hand.
Sarah then refused Elyzia.
" Wait! I want you to meet him first. " Sarah said.
A person suddenly appeared out of no where. A young man with golden brown hair, eyes as green as the ocean floor, his skin almost pale as white and a person who looks exactly like " Sasarai "…but with a seemingly sorrowful face.
Elyzia couldn't talk until…
" This is him. This is the person who I wanted you to meet. " Sarah said with a happy smile in her face.
Elyzia could not say any word but forced her self too talk.
" Hello… " She said.
The young man walk closer to Elyzia and…
" …Is the girl you spoke about? " He said.
" Yes. Let me introduced him to you, Elyzia. This is Luc. " Sarah said.
" … Luc… Its-Its nice to meet you…I-I'm Elyzia. " Elyzia said.
The young man named Luc walked towards Sarah and…
" Elyzia…I know this is sudden but you have to come with us! " Sarah said begging her to.
" What I can't! " Elyzia refused.
" But why? " Sarah asked.
Then suddenly…
GET AWAY FROM THEM!
A guard shouted. Priest Sephion was their and some guards.
" We have to go! " Luc said dragging the hands of Sarah and Elyzia.
" No! " Elyzia refused again.
" The both of you have to go where you said you would. I'll stop them while you to escape. Hurry! " Elyzia said.
" No! Please Elyzia come with us! " Sarah said.
" Go." Elyzia said looking to the young man's face.
He nodded and held Sarah and began to chant a teleportation spell.
" Even if I am to be punished. I won't let you capture them. " Elyzia spoke in a strong voice.
I know that someday…we will meet againSarah,
Not here but somewhere far…
I pray that you will meet that person you will
Love and protect…That I didn't…I pray for your safety…farewell…
My friend…
Until then…
Then suddenly…
BOOM!
Elyzia used her power to not only let them escape but finish herself of, so that they may not use her power for their own satisfaction but that was her thought the moment she used it to kill herself and also lessen the enemy. The bishop, Sasarai covered the room with his true rune of the earth as well as Elyzia.
" Looks like I got here just in time." Bishop Sasarai said.
" Sir! But why did you save her she is a traitor. She must be punished! " Sephion shouted.
" I was ordered by his majesty the priest general to prevent her from dying but she will be punished for her deed. " Bishop Sasarai said.
" How is that your holiness? " Sephion asked him.
" According to his majesty we shall erase her past that includes that young Sarah. " Sasarai said.
" Yes! Sir." Sephion replied.
By that time, Sarah and the mysterious young man named Luc was teleported away far across continents and as for Elyzia…
Was everything over?…
I think not…
For she is guided by the stars of destiny, that will someday shine with the others and help the wounded earth against the shredded wings of the wind…
