Ch. 1, The Gaian War

As long as I can remember, the war has been going on for years, as four regions of Gaia battle for power. Power in which corrupted the lands slowly. After millennia of peace, a dark cloud has appeared over Gaia. It has brought nothing but fear, misery, and greed to the lands.

I am Tsuki Kirashiro Tamahoshi, Guardian of the Eastern Regions of Gaia. As I have mentioned, Gaia is divided into four regions, North, South, East, and West. Each region guarded or ruled by one immortal being. The regions contain specific beings. Within the North are where Gods and Goddesses rule. The northern guards are dragons of superior strength and numbers. In the south lie dark and mysterious, rule Vampires and Lykens also known as werewolves. To the East, the region in which I guard lie mortal beings and other creatures you would find in world today. And finally the west, inhabited by demons, angels, and mythical creatures you could only think would exists in your dreams, live within that region's boundaries. And so, the story begins...

"How much longer will we be traveling to the north?" he said with great impatiens. "Not much longer. When you the dragons, you'll know you're within its boundaries." I respond. "Right..." he answered back. "Is anything the matter?" I asked. "I just have a bad feeling about this... " He said. "Don't worry Kagaru, for this period of time..." I said with a sigh. "There is peace among the lands" "Yes but for how long, the treaty is only temporary." He said angrily. I looked at him surprised. 'I knew how he felt. This is the reason why I'm doing this.' I thought to myself for a while and answered, "I know... that's why we're traveling to the north..." I pause for a moment and then finished my sentence, "... I know I might sound weird right now... But I have a feeling, like a premonition, that this journey will not be in vain." I said closing my eyes with a smile. "Tsuki, are you ok?" he said putting his hand on my forehead. "You don't feel warm..." "I'm fine..." "Are you sure? ..." "Yes, I'm sure. Now let's go." I finished. We finally reached the northern borders after 61 days and 60 nights of travel. "KAMI-SAMA, (GOD) FINALLY!" I say with relief. "We're here." He said looking at me. We scanned the area, its rugged terrain, and steep mountains perfectly habitable for dragons. The temperature was frigged, and fresh snow began to fall. I shivered a little.

We waited for a while; slight sounds of wing beats begin to grow louder. "Do you hear that!" he said uneasily. I nod confirming. "It's a dragon… " I said looking back at the shadows of the dragon. "I believe it's the Shadow Dragon Kiryu" "Kiryu? Dose that mean?" I said. I looked at him with a smile. He nodded back to me and said, "It's been so long don't you think … " …" There was a long pause between us, the dragon drew closer and a familiar face on the back of the dragon could be recognized. " well look who was nice enough to stop by and visit." I say sarcastically. "Yes, I know. But it is not my fault, for I cannot leave these grounds un-protected." She said. "Kyerah, it 'has' been a while… and the others miss you as well." Kagaru says in a sarcastic tone. Kyerah sticks out her tongue playfully. "So, are you planning on walking or do you need a lift?" Kagaru and I rolled our eyes as we boarded Kiryu. Soon after, we flew over the capital of the Northern lands, the home of the gods and goddesses. I gazed in awe at the magnificent site of this part of the land. "Well…" She said. "Huh- oh sorry…" I say bowing my head down in apology. "Err… Tsuki! You don't have to say sorry ya know?" Kyerah said. I blush a little but quickly recovered. "Shall we move on?" he said I nodded with a sigh. "Follow me…" She said.

As the three of us walked down a long hallway, I felt as if were being watched. I started thinking to myself wondering who or what was following us and why… "You know Chada…" Se said. "Hmmm.. what?" I said braking from my concentration. "You're too serious," she said bumping me on my head. "Where's the OLD you?" she said narrowing her eyes, "K-Kyerah… are you ok you don't sound like yourself?" I say with concern. "Of course I'm fine, I am always." She says smiling. "Righhhtttt… sure you are………" I say. We continue on until we reached the end of the always, in front of us was a huge door. They begin to open slowly, soon enough the bright light from the outside filled the room in the area we occupied. I covered my eyes to shade the light from my vision, soon my eye were adjusted to the change in dimness to sudden brightness in the room.

I alone step out of the hallway, as Kagaru and Kyerah stayed behind. "Why have you come, guardian of the East?" A deep and mysterious voice said. "I, Tsuki Tamahoshi, Guardian an protector of the Eastern lands, wish to make a statement about the peace treaty…" "Before we discuss the treaty, how are the people in the eastern region since your rule? …" "Uh… The people they are fine, they have created items to make their lives easier. Even tough the ones who have fought there in battle and survived are still recuperating… but many of them have traveled, and have told me of their many creations, they also asked my if they are able to share their creations with the rest of Gaia…" I stalled a little, I don't know why I did, but I sensed something coming. "Is anything the matter?" The voice asked. I looked around my eyes scanning the area, my head not moving an inch. "No, everything's ok, but may we speak of the treaty; that is my reason of travel to such a far place as this." I started. "Go on" The voice said. "Why can't we have the treaty permanent? Ever since the treaty has been made, things have been less chaotic and more peaceful…" I stopped as my eyes widen to the feeling I felt in my chest. I start to fall to my knees, soon after I'm on all fours with one hand clenching my chest. I gasp for air, which can be heard threw out the room. I force myself up uneasily, gasping for air. My blood begins to spill with each breath I take in painfully.
