Author Note: Weeeeell, Yet ANOTHER old fanfict I found stashed in memory of my computer. And yes, I'm sure you can guess from the title, that his one will be a lot similar to Cosmo Star Chronicles, Sali Snake Chronicles, and Circle of Light Chronicles. At least in writing and grammar style, maybe a little better grammar wise than Circle of Light and Cosmo Star. Story-wise however, this one will feature multiple worlds like Cosmo-Star Chronicles. A better way to describe it, would probably it's a lot like how the anime Tsubasa Resvoir Chronicles runs.

Member of Sir Dilandou's small group of warriors who work under Lord Folken.
She is a Psychic and has wings that disappear when she doesn't need them.
Setsuna is a very calm person who works under Sir Dilandau. She usually does secret missions for both the Black Dragon and the Abahorki. She is a calm, gentle, and kind person outside of battle. Her parents died when she was ten and she was found by Lord Folken. Sora had had a vision that she would grow up to be a powerful warrior. She went through seven years of training. She is secretly in love with Dilandau. It also seems like he has feelings for her too. She puts her kindness that lays inside her aside during battle. She becomes a ruthless fighter. She doesn't put all the kindness inside her aside because when a fellow comrade is in danger she helps them. Her best friends are Allen, Millerna, Hitomi, Van, and Merle of the Abahorki army. Setsuna gets visions when trouble is near. Sometimes she can predict the future.
Sora who works under Lord Folken is also one of her friends. When both of them predict something that is supposed to happen it always comes true. Setsuna has long black hair that looks like night. She has mysterious violet eyes. She wears black chest and back armor plates. She wears a black armored skirt, boots, and gloves. Her black helmet has the symbol of a black rose and black wings on it. Strapped to her side she has a sword with a black handle. Over her armor she wears a long black cloak. Setsuna prefers to travel at night and meets comrades at bars where she only drinks Butter beer. Butter beer is non alcohol. It comes in a mug and is like root beer but taste like butter scotch. She tends to sit in shadowed booths. The Bar owners are her friends and always have a booth in shadows open for a occasion that she might come in.
Chapter 1
In the city of Shale there is a bar called the Dark Inn. From this within this bar loud yells can be heard. In one side of the bar their a many traveling swordsman who have come to rest here. There are some Black Dragon Solider outcast who were disarmed from the army. In another part there many brawls going on. Towards the back there are tables where a few commoners are sitting drinking. Towards the farthest corner where a booth in shadows there sits, on the table, a mug of Butter Bear. Deeper in the shadows is a beautiful Black Dragon Warrior.
She has black hair that looks like night. She has on a black armored skirt, boots, and gloves. She wears a black chest and back armor plates. Her black helmet which has the symbol of a black rose and black wings sits on the table next to her mug. Her deadly black handled sword is strapped at her side. She wears a long black cloak which keeps her armor hiding. Silently she picks up her mug and drinks some of the Butter Beer.
A loud noise comes from the bar door. She turns her head slightly, while still in the shadows, to see Commander Dilandau, leader of their group of Black Dragons called Ryuugekitai (The Dragonslayers), knocking aside one of the commoners. He turns until he sees the booth in shadows with a mug on the table. Him and two other soldiers walk towards the booth in which she's sitting at.
"Night Star," Dilandau said as he stood next the booth. She nodded and turned to him while extending her hand to the other side of the booth indicating he could sit there. Her hood was still up. He sat down and looked at her waiting for her to go first. She sighed and pulled her hood off. Her black hair falling down. Her mysterious violet eyes turning to him.
"How did you know I was here," she said as she looked at him.
"A mug isn't left on the table unless someone is there," Chesta said. Chesta was one of the two soldiers with Sir Dilandau. The other was Kane.
"Plus you always sit in a darkened booth," Kane said. She just shrugged and turned back to Dilandau. She crossed her arms across her chest and sat back.
"What are the orders from Lord Folken?" she asked. "Or are there any new orders, Sora said there might not be anything new for weeks."
"There isn't any new orders," Dilandau said angrily. He them slammed his fist on the table causing it to shake. "Except to lay low like cowards all because Lord Folken is afraid of his fucking brother, Van."
"Van isn't one to be underestimated," she said
"Night Star, it's Van is only still a young boy," Kane said.
"He's stronger then you think, and call me by my real name Setsuna," she said. "Van may still be young and arrogant but he's managed to outsmart you more then enough times."
Dilandau slammed his fist harder on the table.
"Only because he gets lucky every time," he said.
Setsuna smiled and waved a hand towards the bartender. The bartender nodded and brought three more mugs of Butter Beer over. Setsuna gave him two gold coins and a silver coin. After the bartender walked away Setsuna turned back to Dilandau.
"Losing your temper is not going to do any thing," she said as a loud noise from one of the brawls came towards their booth.
Setsuna turned and saw an Ex Black Dragon Soldier kicking all the commoners and other Ex Soldiers out.
"Out if none of you can beat me," the solider said.
"If you want a fight, I'll give you one!" Setsuna said standing up and crossing her arms.
"Sorry Babe but I don't want to ruin that pretty form of yours," he said looking her over. "It can provide other entertainment." Setsuna's violet eyes flashed dangerously.
"I don't think I like what your thinking," Setsuna said walking forward and facing him off. "If you want it, come and get it."
He growled and shot at her. She stood their until he got closer then dropped to the ground and kicked his feet out from under him.
She grabbed his ankles, "Oh and never call me BABE!" She swung him by the ankle and through a table. She stood up and turned to walk back over to Dilandau and the others who stood watching. Suddenly a worried look came on Chesta's face.
"Setsuna behind you," Kane yelled. She went to turn around quickly when her wrist was grabbed and her right arm was held against her back. She could feel the cold steel of a blade against her neck.
"Listen to what I say and you won't be hurt," the soldier said. She growled and tried to pull away from him. Chesta and Kane grabbed their swords and ran towards us. "Come any closer and I slit her pretty neck," he said. They stopped, but continued to aim their swords him. Dilandau stood up and looked towards where the soldier had her.
"Let her go," he said calmly.
"Why should I let a beauty like her go," the soldier said as he pressed his lips against her neck.
"Because I told you to," Dilandau said, eyes flashing dangerously, as the ground began to shake.
Setsuna saw what was happening. She lifted her leg and kicked, hard. The soldier was pushed back and as Setsuna curled her head back and moved to the side his blade made a thin line along her neck. It was too small to cause damage, but stung badly. Suddenly the ground under the soldier rumbled and he was lifted into the air then thrown backwards through some tables. Setsuna stood up, her violet eyes that were gentle moments ago, now looked as cold as ice. Her stare now would make anyone cower in fear.
"Who are you people," the soldier said backing up as fear appeared on his face at the cold look in her eyes.
"Were the true warriors of the Ryuugekitai group, Chesta and Kane," Chesta and Kane said together. Dilandau stepped forward.
"I'm Sir Dilandau the leader of the Ryuugekitai group," he said. Setsuna turned to the soldier and brought out her sword.
"My friends call me Setsuna, My allies know me as Night Star, but my adversaries know me as simply Shadow Cat," Setsuna said. "You have just made a enemy that you will wish you had never made, I will make you pay you fucking bastard!"
Setsuna shot at him with inhuman speed and brought the flat end of her blade down on his head hard. He fell forward and hit the ground unconscious. Kane and Chesta came next to her. Chesta looked at her then gasped.
"Setsuna?! Your neck is bleeding?!" he said. Setsuna brought her hand to her neck then brought it back. There was blood covering her hand. Her vision was starting to blur.
"We should fix that wound," Dilandau said as he walked towards the door to the right which led to the hallway which went to the warrior estates.
Chesta and Kane gently put a hand on Setsuna's shoulders and led her to where Dilandau was going. They followed Dilandau to his room that was in this estate which belonged to their group. They helped her to a seat then turned to Dilandau for orders.
"Leave," Dilandau said to them. The bowed then left closing the door behind them. Dilandau went over to Setsuna then with a wet towel and placed it gently on the wound.
"Why…did you help me," Setsuna said softly as she looked into his eyes. Her eyes were back to normal and were now soft and gentle, but tears threatened to fall.
"I couldn't let you die," he said softly as he took the towel off and wrapped a light cloth over the wound. He looked away and in a hushed voice said, "I can't bear to let another man touch you."
Setsuna looked at him surprised and saw him looking away. She stood up and gently placed her hand on his cheek. He turned back towards her and their eyes locked. His hand gently went to the small of her back and he gently pulled her to him. His other hand cupped her chin as the distance between them started to get heated. She could feel his warm breath on her lips. Her hands snaked up his chest and went behind his neck pulling him towards her. Their lips touched and they were lost in their kiss. Dilandou's hand which cupped her cheek snaked into her hair and began to stroke it. It then went to the back of her neck and began to caress in soothing circles. Their tongues danced in a kiss that would change everything. Soon they had to pull away because of the need for air. Setsuna placed her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
"I love you," Setsuna said softly.
"And I you," Dilandau said quietly tightening his arms around her.
They stood there just holding each other. Softly Dilandau lifted her up and dumped her on the bed and curled up next to her while wrapping the sheets around her. They fell asleep in each others arms.
Later there came a knock at the door.
"Sir Dilandau, orders from Lord Folken," came Chesta's voice. Dilandau got up and opened the door.
"Orders, from Lord Folken?" he said.
"Yes sir," Chesta said. "There seems to be a disturbance of some king in Shadowkai City."
"A disturbance?" Dilandau said confused.
"Yes, Lord Folken wants it checked out," Chesta said.
"Let's do it then it'll give an excuse to get away from Lord Folken awhile," Setsuna said as she appeared leaning against the door.
"Alright, we'll leave now and get there before dark," Dilandau said.
They hurried out to their horses. Setsuna had a beautiful black mare with a white star on the forehead. Dilandau had a white mare and Chesta and Kane had brown mares. They took off to Shadowkai City.
Soon Shadowkai City came into view. They gasped as they reached the edge of the city. There was a path that lead to the middle of the city. At the end of it was a spiral circle. On either side of the circle was stone dragons. One was the dragon of night and the other was the dragon of day. Above the circle was a stone star.
"What is it," Kane asked. Setsuna was now staring at it.
"It can't be," she muttered quietly.
"What's wrong?" Chesta asked. Setsuna turned to them.
"I had a vision a while go of a mysterious circle like this and after a vision of chaos," she said. "Sora never had the vision so she told me not to say anything, I've been having the same visions for the past week and that's how I knew something was going to happen."
"Then do you know what that is?" Kane asked.
She shook her head, "No, but I do know that it means trouble."
"It appears to be…very strange," Chesta said.
"Let's see what it is," Dilandau said. They walked over to it. While they were looking at it the stone dragons eyes were beginning to glow.
"What's that," Chesta said. Suddenly the two dragons began to move.
"What's going on?" Kane yelled as the day dragon jumped at Sir Dilandau.
"Sir Dilandau watch out!" Kane said hitting the dragon with his sword. The night dragon began to attack Setsuna.
"Argh…" Setsuna jumped to the side as the night dragon jumped at her. She landed right in front of the spiral circle. The night dragon leapt at her and knocked her into the circle.
"Lady Setsuna!" Chesta shouted, dodging the day dragon again.
Dilandau jumped out of the way of the day dragon and jumped towards the circle following Setsuna. Soon Chesta and Kane dodging the dragons followed suit. They all fell unconscious as they fell into the darkness.
A minute later the stone dragons, the strange circle and star stone were gone from the middle of the city, It looked as if nothing had been there.
