Authors note:
If any of you want to listen to music while reading this here are three that I think might go good with it.
Sakura's theme (From Naruto)
Hinata's theme (From Naruto)
Or
No more words (From Inuyasha)
Anyone is good to listen to while read this part, I like it better with Sakura's theme though. You might want to decide whether or not you want to listen to a song with this. It should be soft sweet song, maybe one without words, like Sakura's or Hinata's theme that I suggested. But its totally up to you. I think listening to music while reading this and other stories is a general way to set the mood and to get a feel of what the atmosphere is like and what the authors mood is and how they are feeling, as well as the characters.
STORY BEGINS!
The sun was setting, leaving everything bathed in wondrous colours. The sky streaked with purple, orange, red, and gold. The clouds now stained in pink that shone off and onto the earth bellow along with its many creatures. You, Vermithrax, and Akins stood at the edge of a tall cliff and watched the sun sink into slumber. The colours were magnificent and reminded you of children's laughs and smiles and of all the children, of all creatures, suffering and dyeing each day. How so many, like you, were abandoned but never as fortunate. You heard a small, sweet giggle, that made your heart melt, your lips smile and your eyes soften. Akins eyes were looking ahead, strait at the horizon and at all the colours of the sky. He seemed to be enjoying this just as much as you. Akins looked up and into your eyes. He blinked once then cocked his head to one side as he gave you an even brighter smile then before. You smiled back down at him, your eyes filled with a loving gaze for the small demon cradled softly in your arms. Your gaze returned to the setting sun as did Akins. As you stared, a delicate, conducive song winnowd around you and was then carried across the land by the wind.
As the melodious sound of the song continued, the world became quiet and dimmer by the second. Vermithrax laid his head down on your shoulder and closed his eyes letting a sigh of peace come from his nose (ME: hehe^^ ya I know! It came from his nose! Lol, but...lol^^ hehe!). You smiled even more as it kept singing. Akins eyes got heavy and he instantly slipped into a deep slumber.
The night fell quickly after. Vermithrax opened his eyes slowly and lifted his head from your shoulder. You looked into his eyes and rubbed his snout gently. "Come, its time to go" you said in your soft voice. Vermithrax kneeled down, lowering himself to the ground for easer access to his back. You climbed quickly but tenderly onto his back and held onto his neck, slipping your hands agilely under two of his flare red scales, to make sure that you didn't fall off. Slowly Vermithrax pushed off the ground and flew of the cliff and into the distant darkness.
The night air was brisk, blowing through your hair as Vermithrax soared through the sky to your resting place.
You let your hands slip from his scales and raised your arms to the moon, letting the wind coarse around your figures. You smiled down at the baby demon that lay soundless in the crook of your armor, laying quite comfortably, feeling safe and secure enough with you to sleep so peacefully. You patted and stroked your hand across Vermithrax's face and head saying a quiet good night, before going into the little abandoned house you stayed at the moment.
Soon, very soon, you and Akins would leave this shack on Vermithrax and find a better safer place to live, a more suitable place for you to raise young Akins.
You laid Akins down beside you, covering the both of you with the worm blanket you had possessed from your parents, the one they gave to you when they found you.
You laid there, staring at him (Akins), you couldn't imagine life with out him, he was your son, he was the one you cared deeply about, more then you have ever cared for anyone in your entire life. You would have kept him, even if your parents didn't approve of it, you wouldn't let another child be discarded and killed because of the way his family was. Tears welled up in your eyes, as you stroked his soft check. The touch of your skin against his made him stir slightly, cuddling up to you as he felt the heat of your body. You smiled and laid your head upon the pillow, cradling Akins in your arms, kissing and stroking his head. The tears slipped through your lids and slowly made their/the journey to your chin, you held Akins like your were afraid that he would disappear, you could not imagine life with out him, you wouldn't know what to live for anymore, no one could fill in the strong bond between you and Akins, it would be impossible, just like your life with out him.
You closed your eyes, and let sleep take you into a dream where all you could see were happy children, living and loving life. Not ever knowing what could be outside these dreamers walls, the world in which they would come to hate, to despise, a world in which they would be corrupted and turned against their brothers and sisters.
You never bothered to wipe the tears away, you just embraced Akins in your arms cherishing every moment you had with him, loving and remembering all the things he did/would do.
Well, thats all, I hope it was ok, I did my best and soon I will be posting chapter 2 up, very very soon!
