Legend of Dragoon
Part/Disc 1: The Aftermath
Chapter 1 :D
It has been nearly a year since the Moon That Never Sets has just disappeared. Some people say it was history that made it disappear; others say Soa the creator pulled it down from the sky. But, I think it was those warriors who passed through here around that time, they saved Kamuy, who had freaked out and Kamuy had reverted to being nothing more than a puppy. I had wanted to follow them, but my parents wouldn't let me. So, I had continued to live my boring life, the only exciting times were when large groups of people were here for the competitions. My moms shop saw a lot of action then.
It was that time now, I was working with my mom and her brother at the shop, I was bringing out a crate of healing potions when I tripped, sending me and the potions flying through the air, "Shi-" I had started to say when I was caught by my uncle and the potions caught by a woman in a white outfit, with a bow on her back, "Here you go young man, I don't want to think of what would've happened if I hadn't saved those." Her face had been hidden by her hair until she handed me the crate, it was Lady Miranda. "Shhhh, I wasn't here, okay?" She winked at my uncle and I, she bought a couple things and left.
"Did you see who that was? Why would she be here? Shouldn't she be in the castle, doing royal things?" I asked my uncle, who just shook his head and told me to get back to work. I carried the crate to the counter from out back and started stocking the shelf behind the counter. I looked at few jars we had filled with red liquid, I was about to ask when my Mother pushed past me and grabbed three jars of it, "Here you go, three Sun Rhapsody's for the young woman." I looked over and saw Miranda again.
"Sir? Hello?" I was startled out of my trance and quickly asked the young woman what she had wanted, "I will take 4 Sun Rhapsody's please." I grabbed the jars handed them to the woman, she paid her order and left. That day, we had more sales in Sun Rhapsody's than we have ever had.
After the long day of serving customers in the stuffy shop, I put my apron on the hook and was tidying up the shop as my mother walked past me and told me to lock up when I was done. My uncle exited in the opposite direction. I had just finished placing the potions in the back room when I was struck by the deepest sense of foreboding disaster. I pushed it out of my head, walked out of the shop and lock the big lock. I turned and was walking back home when I heard shouting from the inn.
I glanced at it briefly until I heard a scream and saw an explosion of light; the other pedestrians around me were thrown into the water when the side of the inn exploded. I too was thrown back, but never made it to the water, instead I smacked my head on the stone siding; my vision was far too cloudy to see anything. I felt around myself checking to make sure I was okay. I felt a warm feeling running down my back; my hands flew to the back of head. I yelped in pain, I pulled my hands back in front of me and saw blood.
I felt around, trying to find the stone siding, I felt the pressure of something connecting with my chest, and then I was flying through the air, I could feel myself yelling. I hit the water and that knocked me out. What the hell had I done to deserve that? What had the town done? The inn was surely going to be destroyed by that incident. On the upside, people were gonna need more healing potions, which meant more business for my mom, unless they were dead. _;
I could feel and hear myself breathing; I could feel my heartbeat in my fingers, ears, and throat. I slowly opened my eyes and was shocked to not see anything but a transparent darkness. I was blind! However, I couldn't really feel my face, I must be numb and my eyesight hasn't yet returned. I tried to move my arm up to my face to feel it, but my hand was moved down. "Ah, I see your awake, would like to tell me just why you were near the inn last night?" My captor said, moving to un-bandage my eyes. My eyes were flooded with light and I saw the town healer's office. "What happened last night exactly I was just walking by the inn, I hit my head on the stone siding to one of the bridges, and then I was thrown into the water."
The healer walked to his table and opens a bottle of green liquid, "You are lucky someone saw where you landed, or you'd be dead." He walked over to me and tilted my head up and poured the liquid into my mouth, I had no choice but to swallow. The liquid was horribly bitter, but my head started to feel better as it re-numbed. After half the bottle was gone he pulled it away and grabbed another bottle and repeated the process. "Now, you might start to feel sleepy, but you won't fall asleep. If you excuse me I am going to fetch your mother, my assistant will watch you while I am gone."
He walked down the stairs and out the door. His assistant came out, "Look, I am gonna need to get you out of here. This guy had killed every one of his charges; I am safe because my uncle is the mayor. Come on, get up, that potion hasn't yet hit you." When he said "hit" my mind flashed back to last night, seeing and smelling my blood made me sick and I threw up all the potion he head poured into me. "Ha-ha, nice job, now let's go." He ran into his room and returned with two swords. "Can you use one of these?" He asked me.
"Of course, everyday after work I would go outside and practice." I responded, my body felt a little woozy from my memory of the accident. We were about to the front door when the good doctor came back in, a blood stained shirt. "Well, your mother was being difficult, so I silenced her." My expression dropped and my vision turned red. I thought about how a person could do this, how someone could kill a parent of a child, I did the only logical thing my mind could process right now, I lunged at him. I slashed with my sword, he jumped back, "Oh, come now, you will be joining her soon." He cackled, I lunged at him, he dodged as planned and I ran out of the house, I heard the Mayor's nephew fighting the doctor, my head ached like crazy and I ran into the store and grabbed some items, and ran to my home.
I burst through the door and saw a puddle of blood near the kitchen. I ran there, dropping to the floor. I ripped open a bottle of Healing Potion and tried to get her to drink some, no response. I tried all the bottles, with the same reaction. Tears filled my eyes as the horrible, dark truth sank in. I screamed and start hitting the stone wall of the house, my knuckles started bleeding; I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, my cut had opened and been exposed to the air. I dropped back to the floor and cried. I cried for the loss of my father at a young age, my dog a few months later, and finally my mother, now. That's when I was aware of another presence in the room, "GO AWAY, I want to be left alone." I shouted.
The person approached me and placed a hand on my back, followed by others. I looked around through my tear soaked eyes, I saw the warriors that had been here one year ago. One of them pulled me away, I was too sad to resist. Miranda and a few others pulled out different colored glass orbs. They started shining together; I felt sudden warmth fill the room. When the light died down, the blood was gone and my mother started coughing; I couldn't believe it. They had brought her back to life; the warriors had brought my mother back to life. I couldn't express my joy; I only crawled over to my mother and cried. She sat up and hugged me. Miranda and her companions left the room, giving my mother and I our moment.
"Mom, what happened last night, I have no clue." I said, she shifted and started to talk, "Well, I heard the explosions, and I rushed outside to find out what caused them, I saw several people flying through the air, including someone who I thought, and found out later, was you. I didn't think anything of it until the this morning, when the doctor came by and told me about what happened, he left for about 2 hours then came back and stabbed me, then I was surrounded by lights and saw your father, he told me I wasn't allowed there yet and that's when I was brought back by those miracle workers." She cracked a smile and kissed the top of my forehead, I felt like a little kid again.
And that's it for the first chapter :D Tell me what you think.
