Italicnew characters intro into the story
It was still sunny out, the rain clouds had passed, a boy kicked around some rocks, in the grassy fields of the plain in which he stood in.
He had been traveling some time now, and his short brown hair now seemed gray from all the dust it gathered from the travel. he stood tall and appeared around the age of 17 years.
He was now lost, not knowing which way to go he kicked another rock from boredom...just then a strong gust of wind blew.
He could smell it...a sweet smell of a certain flower...it tickled his nose. "the wind is coming from that way..." He looked towards the east.
"Therefore i go that way" He added. Not hesitating, he gathered his speed and ran off at a fast rate and vanished into the horizen not knowing what awaited him.
Running,
always running...
back to soetas cell
The sun was beginning to set, another day lost in the cell he slept in. Sota had been captured a week ago now, taken to a facility off towards the east. It was unknown to him of the location, but deep in the air, he could smell a scent that he had never smelled before in his life, it was sweet and smelled remarkable...
"What the hell is that?" He asked himself. He stood up from his bed of hay that was piled into the corner, and walked to the barred window.
The sky was darkening and the scent was ever so strong in the air. "Hmph" He sat and fidgeted with his fingers...he couldnt concentrate, the smell was driving him crazy!
He stood back up and went to the cell door, its bars were terribly thick, but the scent made it so he didnt care anylonger...he began throwing himself into the door, uncontrollably, trying to brake it down. His eyes glowed brilliant green as the dim light above reflected on them.
He continued this selfless, helpless act, until his body could no longer handle it, and he collapsed to the floor, out of breath and his bones sore. He had actually drew blood on the side of his head and possibly broke a few of his ribs but that wasnt going to stop him.
He quickly stood back up, and one more time, thrust his body at the door, this time the door flew off its hinges and smacked the wall outside the cell. Soeta limped out the cell into the hall. slowely he looked around, there werent anyguards in site.
This was indeed strange. Soeta made his way down the hall of cells. Leaning on the walls for support as he limped, he made it to another door. He opened it and peeked out, still noone in sight. "Hmn" he continued to walk, exploring the room keeping an eye out for company.
He found another door, he looked into its window. "So thats where they are" It appeared everyone was in that room in an assembly. On a white screen was projected a beast whose image stung his eyes, the same beast soeta himself had met with previously a few days before. The Canine...
He scrambled backwards, that beast was his very nightmare. He ran off from fright in the direction of a red-lit sign that read "Exit", but crashed through its window when he tripped.
Confused and be-dazzled, he scrambled back up, he had sliced his arm up on the broken glass but he continued, he ran down the stairs of the emergancy exit. but he again lazily tripped and landed on his stomach gasping for air.
He had been traumatized, that canine did this to him, he was horrified by it...his hand rested in front of his face, resting in a large puddle of blood from his arm. he looked at his reflection in the thick red fluid and gasped. Before him, in the puddle, was a image of one of the canine beast, except different than the last. This creature had dirty blonde hair like Soetas, and had slim misleading eyes.
He crept back up and quickly found himself free outside the building, luckily undetected since everyone in the building was attending that assembly apparently about that beast. He ran as fast as he could, even if his lungs hurt and burned. He wanted to cry out...
Soeta soon found himself wondering the ruins of a lost town. It was ancient. Shards of glass thrown about and pictures of tornpeople who appeared of royalty were scattered.
A building, collapsed into rubble, was sitting atop a small curve in the hills. He walked over and looked around, books layed on the dirt covered floor. He picked one up...it was a journal, but only one page was left undestroyed.
It read, "And thus, We shall Give up Our PAradIse, and AnoTHer One ShalL AwaIt Us" what was this? Soeta was confused more...But, not as confused as he would be later. He was rummaging the pile of deserted books.
One was most admiring. he opened it, "The Book Of The Moon..." he read outloud. It appeared all the pages had fallen out, but, one page, tucked behind the cover still remained. It seemed to be a regular thing in those particular ruins that the books always had one page in tact. He looked at the pages contents and his eyes widened. Soeta froze as he read it over and over again in his head. It said...
Reading,
Always reading...
