Hey guys... First of all, I want to thank Alexriolover95 for the favs, follow and reviews (including monsterjamvadim!)
So, what do you think about the prologue? Yeah, I see some people are less interested in human concepts, but is more like the world of The Adventures of Daring Jewel by Alexriolover95 also similar to my Planet-X. But it also depends on your point of view, It's your right... I just present a story.
I think that's it... and now, Happy reading.
Spring, three years ago...
"Blu, I'm really sorry. It must be hard for you, but she is now in a better place... "
On the day of my mother's funeral, Gracie was trying to calm me down amongst the black-clad mourners.
"I know, Gres..." I stared at her, giving a fake smile, "Just give me my own time..."
"Okay Blu, I understand..."
After that, all mourners began to return to their homes. Leaving me alone who was still staring at my mother's grave. After everything had gone, the sound was utterly silent, only the sound of the spring breeze, and some fallen petals, giving the fragrance of the cemetery.
I didn't feel sad, and didn't feel happy either...
My father didn't come home at all, even at times like this. Work was the main reason, but maybe, I could understand him... because he couldn't or maybe shouldn't come to the sad day like this.
Then, without saying a word, I immediately walked away from my mother's grave. Walking down the quiet streets to my house.
Now I really live alone... I don't know what to do, at that time I really lose my interest to write again. Since then, the world I've seen suddenly turns monotonic... like those sheet of white papers I saw everyday, blank and looked boring...
Across the street, I saw a little bird playing on a swing under a tree full of flowers.
But the tragedy takes place afterwards...
The branches seemed too fragile to hold the swing weight, causing that massive branch to collapse on that poor bird. Although fragile, but the branch was quite heavy and solid.
I did't remember anything after that, my memories was completely blurred...
All I remember was that little bird survived, but my sight suddenly turned red. Everything I saw, the streets, the houses, until the fallen petals were all red. I tried to move my wings, but could not... then I looked at them...
"This is...!"
Present time...
"A writer...?" I mumble, alone in the crowded schoolyard.
A writer... just like me, no... that was three years ago, because now I'm not a writer anymore, even my books may be gone in the bookstore. Well, that's natural because the author cannot continue his stories, and those stories are now nothing more than missing chapters... drowned in the dark ocean.
It's been three years... but somehow these wings...
Several hours passed, after school I stood alone in a park, like the promise we made this the morning. This small park was located close to the Moosehead Lake which looked so beautiful when dusk came for the sun made this lake sparkle, especially in spring... all the flowers in the park were blooming.
'Where are they? She said to meet them in the park.' I grumbled, for having long waited for them.
A cold breeze that came from Moosehead Lake, caressing my feathers. Although the wind felt rather cold today, it's actually a spring breeze, because today's the end of March.
From a distance, I saw a pair of women's shoes lying near a large, shady tree. I approached those shoes, and took them.
"Whose shoes are these?" I muttered, holding yellow shoes, "There's no one here."
I looked around... a lonely garden, a lonely edge of the lake. There is no one here. Except when I looked up, I saw something that surprised me. There's a girl sitting on a tree branch...
She's a blue bird who is staring at the lake from a height. Her talons sway, her smiling face...
I was speechless, and looked at what she's looking at. It's a beautiful sight, a lake that glittered by the reflection of the sun at dusk.
The girl then stood up with a pencil and small book in her wings...
"Careful...!" the word suddenly came out of my beak. And that girl immediately looked down... she looked at me.
Her eyes are so shining... her eyes seemed to reflect the glittering lake from the distance.
"Ah, there's seem someone else," she said.
Suddenly the wind came back, strong enough to blow away the petals. But not only that... by a chance, the wind also lifted the skirt she wore, and caused her skirt unfolded, and accidentally I...
"You pervert bird!" she yelled with a flushed face, and suddenly threw a book on her wing, and that small but a thick book hit my head.
"I...I'm sorry... it's just an accident..." I said, but I suppose it was useless because she jumped right off the tree, holding up her pencil.
"You're a pervert!" she shouted again.
Spontaneously I immediately stood up and ran from her... but she's running after me.
"I told you, it's just an accident!" I said, "Besides, how could you climb such a tall tree while wearing a short skirt like that!?"
"Shut up, shut up! You have no right to judge what I wear!" she replied, still running after me, picking up her book, throwing it back at me.
"Hey! Don't make the book as a weapon!" I shouted trying to stop her from doing it again, but... I saw something else,'She's showed me the pointed tip of her pencil.' I mumbled,'Is she going to...?'
"Stop it...! Don't throw that pencil..!" I yelled, begging for my life.
But, she really threw it... and it stabbed my talons...
Then...
"Ah... there you are, Jewel."
That sound, a voice I know well...
"Ah, Gracie..." replied that girl, who was now choking me, "You're here at least!" she then let go of me, and ran toward Gracie who came with Roberto.
I stood up, with a sense of relief they both had arrived...
'Haah... I survived.' I thought, 'She's really a horrible girl.'
"Oh... so you're Gracie's classmate?" Roberto asked eagerly, while I just stood up, staring at them from a distance.
"Yes..." that girl replied, then she glanced at me with a horrible gaze.
Well, I can't say anything and keep the mouth shut.
"Okay... I'll introduce her, she is my classmate, her name's Jewel," Gracie said, pointing her finger at that girl, named Jewel.
"Nice to meet you," greeted that girl I just knew her name, Jewel, smile sweetly to Roberto.
'She looks different from the one before. At first glance, I thought she is someone else.' I whispered to myself. remembering she almost killed me a few second ago.
"Then... he is the captain of our soccer team... Roberto." Gracie continued, pointing his wings at him.
"How's you going?" Roberto smiled, trying to act cool in front of her.
"Incredible! so you are our captain, you look so cool..." that girl, Jewel... she started to approach Roberto, and adored him... well, exaggeratedly, and that made me think weird about her for a moment.
Though Roberto just smiled and blushed. As always, he looks stylish...
"And the next one, he's not too important though... but he's Blu." Gracie said, walking toward me and introducing myself.
"Oh..." Jewel said, immediately running toward me, "I'm so sorry about that..." she bowed her head, apologizing to me, and be nice to me. Well... this is weird.
"But..." she whispered to me, "If you dare to talk about 'it'... yer gonna die!"
"No... I won't." I replied, whispering with trembling, 'She's really a ferocious girl.' I thought.
Rude and violent girl... very bad first impressions. But... her eyes were shining, just like the lake that reflected the sun... golden light.
I just stared at her with Roberto who was talking intimately, then Gracie came to me...
"Unfortunately... you're here just as a side character." she said, "Jewel likes Roberto."
"I do know that..." I answered.
I saw a book lying on the ground. It was a book she just used to bet me. The book is quite thick, but small, the cover is plain red with no motive whatsoever. I walked over to it, and was about to pick it up when all of a sudden, that girl... Jewel shouted at me.
"Don't!"
Then she ran towards me, and immediately picked up her book quickly.
"I'm sorry, but, this is my diary." she said, rather shyly.
"I see..." I replied, but all of a sudden she stepped on my talons and whispering...
"And you want to see it, right? My personal things... "
Her face scared me, made me unable to move in front of her.
"No..." I whispered, trembling.
She put her diary in her waist bag. Then looked at her watch, and ran to take her shoes.
"Where are you going?" Roberto asked her.
"To the book fair." Gracie is the one who replied, "Today is the last day of town hall displaying many books written by all writers around the world, even your own books can be displayed there."
"That's right... because I'm a writer." continued Jewel, "Besides, I also want to find inspiration for my next one."
She smiled... but why she smiled at me?
"Oh so you're a writer? Awesome...!" Roberto praised her.
"I know, right?" she replied, with a grinning face.
"So you also sent your story over there?" Gracie asked.
"Yes... but whether or not it will be displayed... I'm not so sure... hehe... "
"Well, to solve that mystery, we just need to come there!" Roberto exclaimed with enthusiasm.
"You're coming too, Blu...?" Gracie asked, looking at me.
Again... somehow things I should have forgotten, it made me even more remembered, no, but... it just made me not want to forget it.
"No, I'll pass that..." I said, bowed my face, trying to clench my wings but still cannot, however... my trembling wings suddenly stop because of that girl... Jewel grabbing my wing.
"You're coming too..." she said, looking at me for a moment. Her beautiful eyes, still shining in my face... clear shining eyes... even when our eyes meet each other, I can tell if her eyes are more than that... she then pulled my wing.
This is so strange, my wings which always trembling, suddenly could stop. My wings, my fingers as if to have energy back. An energy to grabbed back her wing...
"Let's go..."
My sixteenth spring... I will...
