Chapter One: Kalisim
RUN AWAY, LITTLE ONE! boomed the voice from the sky. For all the good that it will do you. You can never escape me!
"How could you do this to me, Uncle Donar!", cried upwards, tears running down her pale, freckled face. " My mommy loved him! I thought that you loved her!" The red haired doll in her arms was being squeezed so tightly that it's grey dress was starting to rip.
He was my blood brother, and she was my wife. I couldn't kill him,thanks to the protection given to him by your Grandfather, but I could destroy her. You were just what happened beforehand, you little bastard! You will never live long enough to see the world that your mother left you with. The owner of the voice decsended from the grey sky. He was a well built man, looked about 37, with long messy reddish blond hair and an even messier beard. They were clean but tangled, like a man who would bathe, but for the smell not the affects of one who lives in Asgard. You were a mistake, the Norns decreed that you will grow up to rule both the realm of the gods and Midgard, but I can't let a woman do that.
The trees that surrounded the young child strained forward to protect the defenseless girl, but were burned to a crisp by the thunderbolts that came after a single glance by Donar in their direction. Even the World of Nature didn't want to see innocence destroyed. But the man loomed, sneering at the girl, a look of mad content on his face. From behind his back, he grabbed a large, heavy hammer, the infamous Mjolmir, and prepared to strike.
All of the sudden, a silver arrow came from the left of him and struck his shoulder. A woman with the face of an furious angel trying to keep her calm was walking toward Donar, already loading her bow with another arrow. Her green eyes were flashing angrily, her lips twisted into a snarl.
You dare to defy a young girl the right to live and grow. the woman challenged.You are in my Realm now, Donar, Greece is not your place to decree who lives and who dies.
Well, well well, if it isn't Artemis...I thought you were buisy with your comrads telling eachother how much you hate men? he replied, looking as if he wanted to kill her almost as much as the child. I can kill whoever i want, wherever i want, as long as they are mortal. And this girl is fair game, she hasnt even drunken the Holy Mead yet, let alone have a name. Therefore, i can destroy her.
Artemis' eyes narrowed, as she let the arrow in her bow fly to the man, missing on purpose.If all she needs is a name, since the Laws of Holy Drink play no role in different Realms, I shall give it to her.she answered, a look of pure determination on her face. As the Protector of children and wildlife in Greece,I, Artemis, Lady of the Beasts, Hereby name thee Kalisim "one-who-joins-nations". As long as you are anywhere near wildlife nothing shall hurt you, every being, living of non, will fight to the end of it's existance to keep you safe.
The girl that they were making such a fuss over was currently curled up into a ball, tears still on her face, her doll wet with them. She shakingly raised her head to peer cautiously at the women who was so determined to let her live.
"Why are you trying to save me?" she asked, her voice shaking with the effort to speak clearly."All I ever do is cause people to get hurt or killed.."
Donar proudly looked back at Artemis See? Even this child knows that there is no escape from Fate! You have no say in my prey anyway, so back off! He raised his Hammer to strike again. Suddenly there was a green mist surrounding Kalisim, causing the sound of metal on metal to ring through the forest in which they all stood. Out of the mist stepped a young boy, golden wings aglow and grey eyes flashing.
" I am Radama," he said, "I will fight to the death for this girls life, for it is not her time to die. I am the grandson of the Norns, so you cant touch me, Donar!"
Well if thats the way, you all want it... replied the man, turning slowly to his left Than that is how it shall be!
With a quick strike at Artemis with Mjolmir, he brought down all of his strength on her head. There was a loud SNAP, and the goddess fell over, blood covering her face from the deadly blow. No, not again Kalisim thought Not after she did all that she could to save me...
"Donar!" Cried Radama " You have broken the Law of the Realms, killing a goddess from one seperate from your own!"
" It doesnt matter anymore, Radama..." the mourning girl answered him. " He is already banished from his own home from the murder of his wife, my mom, and the binding spell he put on his brother, my father..."
You've got that right, child, but since I am now also banished from the Greek Realm, looks like I am going Egyptian! With a snap of his fingers, his hammer dissapeared in a puff of smoke with the smell of sulfer. But, before i leave, I have a proposition to make with you, worthless girl. In five thousand years we shall meet again, this time I am giving you a chance to fight back, just because I am so nice. In that time, youcan get together seven seperate beings, only one of whom can be a god although, not counting you, since thanks to your geneology and mine, we both are.
"Umm, what about Radama?" Kalisim asked," Isnt he a god also?"
Well, would you look at that, it looks like your stuck with a little twerp as your one god to fight me with! With a gleefull look in his eyes, he too dissapeared with the scent of sulferRemember, my little lumps of worthless meats, you have five thousand years, a lot of time, but hey, i am feeling generous. Oh, and Radama, your going with her father!
A film of grey smoke came out of nowhere, engulfing the winged diety. "Kalisim!" He cried before fading out completely "Meditate, and you will know where it is that you should go. If you find not what you are looking for, ask a boy with hair the color of snow." With a scream of anger, he was no longer in her realm.
RADAMA!" she exclaimed, her throat seering with pain as she shouted her anger. "I will avenge you, as well as every other person who was hurt because of me. That includes my family and Artemis!"
She sank to her knees, unable to cry for it seemed that even her tears were afraid to be near her. The grass surrounding her was wet with rain and ichor, the goddess' body still in front of her. She closed her eyes and focused her mind on the image of a mountain with snow on its peak, as well as a group of immortal beings. A silver aura gathered around the body of Artemis, and it too faded out, going to the place that it was created for her brother to look after and take care of.
With one job done, she finally decided to do what Radama asked of her in the first place. She needed to defeat her uncle and she needed six warrior to fight along side of her. She imagined her body surrounded by a purple-black mist, falling into the trance of meditation. Gathering all of the information she needed, she understood where and when she needed to go. Well, i didnt know it would be then but hey, a time is a time. She thought.
"By the grace of Sif and the strength of Loki, i choose to go forward in time. My destination as I name it shall be the place of fate and destiny, having already gone through a lot on its own. I, Kalisim, call on the elements of Air, Fire, Earth, Water and Spirit to guide me to Domino City in Japan, with the date of 2006 Common Era."
As her body was being lifted by her Internal Spirit, the Air around her whipped about, the trees swooped down to give it room, the Fire in her eyes burning on, and the Water falling from them giving her peace.
Goodbye, Midgard...
Unbeknownst to her, although, the white haired boy that Radama had told her about, was having a very troublesome dream... His name in Ryou Bakura.
