Chapter 1 – The Fateful Meeting
It was a time where noble heroes fight and defend their countries from their enemies, it was a time where magic and sorcery exists.
And not very far away, there's a glorious Kingdom named ORB. Within that Kingdom lies with hundreds of years of history of their noble and courageous Knights knights defend and sacrifice for the motherland. Even thought many were sacrificed in the war, there were a few knights that survived many wars; one of the few was none other then Athrun Zala, the one and only son of Patrick Zala, the Royal Advisor of the King of ORB, King Gilbert and also son to Lenore Zala, the Maiden of the Order. Sadly, Lenore passed away, due to the previous war. So, Patrick raised him.
Years later, Athrun have grown into a fine young man who later joined the army, along with his few childhood best friends, Kira Yamato, Yzak Jule and Dearka Elsman.
----At the Palace of ORB Kingdom
The King and his advisor were sitting at the round table discussing about the upcoming goddess ceremony that will be held at the Kingdom's Altar.
"Patrick, what is still missing for the Goddess Ceremony?" King Gilbert asked his Advisor Patrick.
"A Mmaiden, Your Highness. A Maiden to perform the Goddess Dance for the Ceremony….." Patrick answered sadly, thinking of his wife that was also a maiden which passed away.
"I am sorry about your wife Patrick." Gilbert said patting Patrick shoulder and let out a sigh. " Since we don't have a maiden to serve our goddess the protected us all…I suggest that you go to the nearest altar on Onogoro, and hire this maiden."
"Your Highness, I have heard that the Athha has one daughter that's capable to do that for us, she is very well known in many kingdoms, she have performed very well for every goddess ceremony. I suggest Your Highness that you, hire that girl." Patrick said as he recalled an image of a young blonde maiden dancing for the Ceremony on September.
"Very well then Patrick, hire that girl and you did better be on your way, before the other kingdoms get a hold of that maiden, the goddess would be glad to have her to perform." Gilbert said with a smile.
"As Your wish Your Highness. I shall send some of the man to bring her here." Patrick bowed then he walked out of the King chamber.
-------Outside of the Palace
Athrun was grooming his stallion. It was a beautiful black stallion, with wavy white mane. Its name was Nightsteed.
"Son, I got a mission for you." Patrick said coldly to Athrun.
"What is it father?" Athrun said as he looked as his father.
"I need you to bring a maiden back to the castle safely, before nightfall. The Kingdom needs her to perform the Maiden Dance for the Ceremony tomorrow."
"But...Father I am not a babysitter! I am a knight I serve the country by fighting and defending it! Not to protect some gir-"
"Lady Cagalli, and I will take that as a yes. Now be on your way, and I wish you Godspeed." Patrick said as he walked away from Athrun.
"Great…I joined army to be a nanny…of an unknown weak and useless girl…" Athrun groaned then settled his horse and galloped away.
--------At the Altar on Onogoro
"Cagalli so many kingdoms want you to perform for the upcoming Goddess Ceremony, so many of us maidens envy you." Miriallia said as she combed Cagalli's long, silky and wavy blonde hair.
"You may think its good….but it's really tiring…." Cagalli said disappointingly
"But why? Why Cagalli are you so sad? Your so beautiful, I am sure you charmed a lot ofmany men, isn't that good?" Miriallia said sadly…"How I wish I was you…"
"Miri….even though I charm them….I can't be with them….The Maiden Head forbids….that we maidens fall in love…." Cagalli said sadly lowering her head "I envy those who has somebody to love….." Cagalli stood up as she heard Stellar calling her
"Cagalli you did better get dressed up, you will never know which kingdom has been send to fetch you to their kingdom." Stellar said as she walked to Cagalli passing her a white silky long gown.
"You're right….I will get changed now…"
After Miriallia and Stellar walked out of her room, Cagalli changed to the gown, typing her hair to a loose ponytail, she heard a horse neigh outside of the altar, then Stellar walked in,
"Luckily, I told you to change, there's a young man outside waiting for you." Stellar said as she passed Cagalli some herbs. "Take this just in case you get hurt, it will stop the bleeding." Stellar said sadly and hugged Cagalli, before she left her room.
------ Outside the Altar
"You must be Cagalli…" Athrun said coldly as he scanned her from head to toe.
'I never thought she could be so pretty…'
"Yes indeed I am…Sir-" Cagalli
"Athrun. We must get going now. We must reach the kingdom before nightfall tomorrow." Athrun said as he saddled his horse.
"Yes, Sir Athrun…"
Cagalli bid goodbye to her friends and saddled her horse, following Athrun not very from the back, and into the forbidden jungle they headed.
