Infinite Eclipse
By Zane Denney
Prolog
A revolution in the shadows
Pov: Lily
The lush vegetation ran down and around the small valley village, it had a population of 100 or so people, all under the influence of the Novain Kingdom, it's use as a supple hub is far to useful for his army, however the river that rest upon the outskirts of the village and the surrounding village homes gives a hard to attack region, the people may turn on his forces if given the chance. The kingdom is a paper lion with the Mudclaw crisis that is happening, but more importantly Eclipse's new form of control is very useful, if given enough time the content of the armies and citizens of the kingdom will follow the will of Nova, and if something happens Eclipse will take over control until he has recovered.
I caught on the corner of my eye a icy blue shoulder was marching dragging a rotting body with them, the shape and size of the body made me lean to a women being dragged, she wasn't holding or had any armor on. So she must be a citizen of the kingdom or a Mudclaw fighter in the region, a second soldier appeared in front of the icy color soldier, her face had a ever worn expression as if she ready to quit and leave this godless war. She begin to speak to the soldier, it seemed like screaming, I've been running around this continent for a year and a half, raiding and burning everything and anything not a part of the army. This war well just keep going intel one side is wiped out, so to get them to sign on to a peace I have been leading resilience fighters all over the continent, but every time they are murdered in broad daylight. I just wish something I do can help stop this war.
I soon lifted my body off the dirty ground in which I was laying on, my green dress I wore on that day still dawned my thin and weak body, I knew if I kept going my body may as well be rotting at this rate, but every time I have money on me to buy new clothes from the market, I'm chased out by guards, I do have a somewhat home and some food and water but other then that I could care less about how I look, well there is somebody that I would care about how I look, but he has done things to me and ruined my childhood life just for some study, so if I could ruin this for him it's even right?
Breeze hit my skin and dirty body as red leafs flew from the trees, everyone of them gilding to the ground, fall and winter was soon coming, every winter I usually have a warm coat and enough food to feed a whole village but his forces have raise my wanted cash from a normal value to a point were you think I'm a royal family member. I turned as I walked into the orange and red forest of trees, each step weaken my sore and beat up legs, I just need to get home and rest for the day and work on winter supplies and fixing my ripped coat for this year, if times are that hard I'll do a hit and run on the local market.
I paced down the small hill as the chilling wind pressed into my skin, it latched on and stay there, I wish I could just walk up to that castle and kill that cunt to end this, with it my love will give up and I can go back home at the Sky kingdom in a warm and nice room. I pressed forward and ran into a bush, I stared both ways, the dirt road was clear as the armed forces were quitting mass movement because of the incoming winter.
The long path spread from the Cherryhill valley to fort asteroid, each day I walk this path and each day traders just walk past not even making eye contact with me, I get it they just want to sell their goods but most aren't buying this time of year. This path though always felt like I was a tiny bug in world, and that even if I try, I will always be the sidekick, pushed around, easily defeated, and when I could show I'm at the top of the food chain, the bigger and more powerful animal I evolved from sat me down a size.
I folded my fingers together, with out my lov… without him I would have been dead a long time ago, but without him I would have grew up to be a normal person, I would have a childhood that wasn't following him blindly thinking he cared about me. What has gotten into me? Every time I think about him my heart skips a beat and sometimes knowingly or unknowingly I call him Love. I hate him for doing that to me, so why must I be like this? Is it because of what Eclipse has told me, what was it called…. Yay that's it! Hyper syndrome, that's it. What did she say it was again? I don't know, if she visits me again I'm going to ask her, she's the only one who would listen to me.
I looked up from my though filled mind to see a dark skinned guy, he was packed with a bag and papers and books, he was writing down something on his notebook, he looked up and stared me in the face, he looked to be 19 years old, god did I look like such a kid at that age, I mean I'm only around thirty five right? His eyes were worn and tried, he very much had been walk for quiet the time, he looked like me everyday after this walk. However something was off about him, he was giving me a very much panicked look. It hit me, oh no oh no oh no, he seen me from the wanted posters. What do I do? Do I make break for it? Do I kill him? Wait what was that? Why would I kill this 19 year old? He marched up quickly, he was a half a foot shorter then me, mostly because Rainclaws are always taller then the other cultures, also I am around 10 years older then him. He soon opened his notebook, he hide it closely to his chest but my height I could see what he was writing. The lines were neatly written, I did see a few names I saw before, in bold black letters was the names, Luna, Skyfire, and my name. Each name had under them told of their powers and looks, of course for Skyfire was the welding power, or and in easier term BRRRRRR go magic spells. Luna's part says she's a ran away royal, and most likely closely connected to Skyfire, powers he wrote unknown, but working theory was a future sight. Huh, this kid is quiet the smart fellow.
Under my name read of my hiding from both sides of the war, also leader of the Grantsville revolts, and my close connection to Him and his sisters. My main question though, is why have notes of me and my friends, also knowing all that about us? It is very kinky for him to know this? I soon clean my throat as he looked up at me, "What you got there?" I had said in my mostly calm voice, of course I did sound a bit of passive aggressiveness.
He looked down at his notebook and looked back at me, I joined him to see he had one of my wanted posters, oh no, this is going to end in me knocking this guy out, taking his notebook, and running away from here. "Ar…rr.e you Lily." He said with a stutter, I give him my best you take a guest look. "Yo…ou have t….t.o be her." I soon lowered my head into his face, blush came from his face, yep this kid is scared for his life, or he's thinking some, well not very godly thoughts about my body, it does give me confidence in my body if this kid is acting like this, I always knew I had a good body and face. During middle school guys always asked me out, but since my lo.. Since he was there he always ruined it, telling them about my very personal life. After all that stuff got out a rumor started about me and him, he didn't care but the few girls that hung out with me claimed that I was just using him for all the wealth, calling me a gold digger, also talking about my younger life of impoverished back round, they add they would have done the same. I hate myself for not slapping those bitchs faces off and just dropping him as a friend at that point, but no my dumb ass slowly fall in love with him after that. I don't know why I fall for him, I just did, but the main girl who did bully me was found dead but a stab wound, self caused. So I guess she was dealing with some things of her own.
I pulled away from him, his face returning to normal. "Well, I'm Lily, hero of Grantsville, and you sad sack of shit is?" I said not skipping a beat for even a second. He soon pushed up his glasses, "Well I just wanted to know, are you working with the resilience?" He stated very quickly with no Sutter, but how he asked that question was all I needed from him, he was apart of the Novain kingdom. I searched the path for any close object strong enough to knock him out in one process, soon on the ground was a big rock, enough to knock this guy out with out any big beatings, but do I really want to hurt this kid? I mean he's 19 years old, what is going to do. He could be a threat to my love. What was that, it's all good, your just talking to yourself, just grab the rock and knock him out.
"I'm sorry kid." I quickly said, "What do yo….." I slammed a rock right into his mouth as he fall to the ground, wow that felt really really good, what's happening, I slammed on top of him, his eyes were just open, I put my hands around his neck. Do I want to do this, what am I even doing? Oh who cares, I soon slam his head into the ground, taking the rock and slamming it as hard as I can into his face. It was full of blood, his eyes closed and all his garage spread on the ground, that felt amazing, but why would I do that for? What do I gain from this attack, yea I get his stuff but all I needed to do was knock him out? I looked down at my hands, why do I feel like I been like this before, when I was in middle school, I was on top of somebody, stabbing the…. It flashed in my mind, that's why her death looked so familiar to me, that's why I wasn't surprised to hear about her death. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, that's so funny, I killed the bitch and it felt good, I then slammed the rock on the kids face around 8 to 10 more times, all that was left was a blood mess, no face, nothing. I just killed a guy, but why? he did nothing wrong? But he did get in my way, he was going to mess with my love, my Nova. HE IS MY NOVA, FOREVER.
I walk to the open cave entryway, my body was covered in blood, I don't know why? But I have all this new stuff, a bag of scrolls, all having Novain armed forces plans and attacks, each one showing how in a years time they will cross the border and take the Sky kingdom, ending the resilience mainline, after that, they should fall apart with their army's destroyed, I need to get this to the resilience as soon as possible, if Nova throws everything at this point and loses everything, he would be open to ending the war on both sides terms, I pulled out a pack of cigarettes, I had stole all these things to stop Nov…. wait, why can I say his name without, her coming out, did I really do it, I fixed my problem, wow Nova wasn't lying about these cigarettes calming your nervous, I wish I could be like back in the day, both in love, no worries. Wait oh yay stopping Nova, ok lets see, the scrolls show all the supplies for Nova's army, this will be perfect. I pulled a small black leather notebook, it had a name written on it, Mire Softwings, who is that? They must have just sold this at the market not knowing what this is. I opened the notebook, the lines were written neatly, all kinds of things were in this notebook, some from little drawings of characters, to their names and what they could do, some school notes as well. In the back of the book was essays of important people in the history of the continent, however on the last pages there was a in detail look of Skyfire's life, next was Luna, most was wrong as it was never talked about, and last was my name, next to my name read a word, there was the words Hyper Syndrome, under was what it means. It read the words, (Hyper syndrome is a coping mechanism to a abusive situation. People develop positive feelings toward their abusers over time. This condition applies to situations including child abuse, coach-athlete abuse, relationship abuse, most of all it applies to the raping of somebody young, it is very horrible if left uncheck. It turns the person in what I can only claim as a yandere, turn to the next page for it's definition if needed.) What theeeeee? Why is this in my part? I was pressed to keep reading, the more I read the worse it got, so Nova was so cold and collected to me because he knew what happen, he just wanted to help me, and he felt that he must stop the guy who did it, by any means necessary.
Why did he never tell me about this, I would have remembered and helped, but that doesn't make sense? Didn't Eclipse say it was Nova who did this to me, wait why would she tell me the truth, she's her brother, I a danger to her, I can't let her invade my mind and stop my Nova. I turned and looked around the cave, bookshelves lined the walls, I had placed them there and keep notes everyday after running away, if the Novain Kingdom or the Resilience got a hold of them, oh body that would be one useful tool, they had all of my plans and where each armed force on the front lines were, why did I mark were they where? I always did that for some reason? Why can't I remember it, I said as I pulled a cigarette from the box, What am I going to do if I run out this winter, I'd go out tomorrow to the market, try and get some before getting chased out. I grabbed a small match lit it on fire pulling it up to the cigarette, it flared out before calming itself on the edge of the cigarette. I took a deep breath in and put on my lips, I soon breathed out as smoke whizzed out of my mouth. It felt so good, the screaming voices in my head had got quite, it was nice for once, having a quite moment, I turned as I had pulled out a leather bag, I stole it from a soldier at fort asteroid, the bag had some papers of mail and other stuff, but what I wanted was more important, there whiled in-between a small scroll, and some guards outfit, was a bomb, it could blow a city block, well it was for that purpose, they're lucky I found it before he had given it to a higher officer. It's time that fort asteroid was nothing but fire and smoke, if it met the war would end then I must do it. For you my Nova.
Authors Notes
Hey, hope you like it, if you want more let me know, this is the prolog of my fifth book in what I call the Novain sega, I want to know if you want to see more, I rewrite the first four books to match this in what I think is one of my best writings, just let me know what you think in the comments.
One day if I get good enough at drawing I may post on my channel, or if I can get my step brother to help me I may do it, and if I ever get a mic I will post videos of me sitting down and explaining the story beats and characters, just how you guys react is all, but I hope you enjoy this tiny little bit of book 5, again if you want to read the books before this it may take some time for me to rewrite each chapter and make the books far longer, (First is just 7000 words and 7 chapters), so yay not long at all, but hope you like.
Ok this was fanfiction of the wings of fire, but by book 4 I thought it would be easier to just make this my own universe, has same continent and other thing like that, but it has humans and a whole 9000 year history before this point, may write a timeline at one point, don't know? depends if you like it or not, also if you just want to know the story or get a personal understanding of the characters I have a playlist for the main story, and each character has a playlist of their songs so you know which one's go to each, some playlist have 3 to two characters, this is because of 2 things, one the characters in the book are so close to one other, aka the Eclipse and Matter song playlist, or they don't have enough songs each to have one playlist for them, I'll get songs not apart of the main story playlist for the characters at one point, I just want to write my stories and see how you like it. Anyways here's the links now, please give me some helpful pointers in the comments, well thank you for reading my ranting.
