Van'diel's Awakening
Forever Promise Me
Chapter 1
"Remember Your Start, They Say…"
Eprisom smiled through his long red hair, brushing it aside to let the sun hit him full on the face. But the clouds would not have it, it seemed as they danced in front of the sun, stealing its warmth for their own love. With a frown, the young Elvaan opened his eyes, only half-way to awaken to greet the world, but there still rested that peace deep within him.
"Remember…" he said softly to himself as shifted himself about on the soft grass, the sun jumping from behind the clouds and smiling down to him once more. "Remember your start…that's what they said…" his voice still hardly louder than the whispering winds above in the sky, and below in the valleys.
"What?" awoke the soft, feminine voice from his arm. Lina lay on his chest, smiling up to him as she woke, lifting her head only too look into his eyes before she laid it back down, listening to his soft and steady heartbeat.
"Nothing…just remembering what someone once told me…" Eprisom said again, staring up to the sky once more, and smiling only more widely as he held Lina closer, stroking the young Mithra's hair gently with one of his hands. It was the first time in so long, he did not have a weapon so close by.
"Whatever you say…" yawned Lina through closed eyes as she shifted around in Eprisom's warm arms, slowly drifting back into the soft sleep she had so been robbed of moments ago. Her breathing was soft, and only brought more peace to the tired mind of the Elvaan that held her so lovingly.
But the warrior's eyes closed as well, taking him away from the world and time. Sending him off to his past, this now seemed like another planet to him now. Not even the same world, or even close to how he felt now, so long after what happened. But this other world he now looked at, was no different from where he lay now.
He smiled in his sleep as he saw a young red-haired Elvaan, walking un-sure through the streets of San d'Oria, carrying an off-white coupon in his hand, holding it out for whoever would take. Watching as the young Elvaan woke up from his dream of fear, and finally ventured off to the world outside those walls, finally sleeping to dream, as he saw that Elvaan he knew so well, fight to protect for the first time.
