Notes: Sorry it took SOO long for me to update. School's been taking up my time and I haven't even been on the Internet yet. Luckily, my school had a water main break and I got to stay home! YAY! I hope the water main stays broke for a while so I can stay home for at least a week. I'd be grateful for two more days ^_^.
Chapter 2: Angel
"Is it dead?"
"What is it?"
"I think it's waking up!"
Tai was stirred from his sleep. His head was spinning and aching and his arm felt warm and wet. It was bleeding badly. When he opened his eyes slowly, a completely different world was revealed to him. He was lying in a lush, green meadow and the skies were crystal blue. Standing around him was three little kids wearing odd clothes. The strangest thing was that they had long, pointy ears and big, bright, slanted eyes.
"Wha..? W-where I'm I?"
"It said something!!" a little female child said alarmed.
" 'It'?" Tai questioned wearily.
"What are you?"
"I'm a human." he said answering the male child.
"Filona, tell Silora we have a thingy in the court!" an older female child said.
"Okay."
"I'm a human," he repeated.
"Stop lying," the remaining female said, "I may be young but I have seen a human before."
"What?"
"We know that humans don't have wings!!" the male hollered proudly.
"Wings?" Tai asked still drained, "I don't have-AH!"
When he looked back, he saw massive, although bloody, angelic wings sprouting from his shoulder blades. Without the blood, they would have been pure white. In horror, in gripped at the feathers, pulling out dead ones. The little girl came back with a girl around his age. She had blonde hair that came barely below her shoulders and was wearing a silky, green, long dress. Her ears were long and pointy and her eyes were slanted but big and bright, just like the children's were. He watched her, hand still holding a lock of feathers.
"S-Sora?"
"Sora?" she asked kneeling down to him, "my name is Princess Silora Pavotheo of the Elven kingdom. Who and what are you?"
"Well, I'm Taichi Kamiya but everyone calls me Tai," he said trying to stand up.
He stumbled a bit, his wings hanging limply behind him, weighing him down somewhat.
"I'm supposed to be-ow-human," he said when he finally got himself sturdy, "but I don't know what the heck happened."
Silora looked at his bloody wings and gasped, as if she just remembered something.
"Taichi, please come with me."
Tai stared at her, confused. He started walking toward her, letting her know that although he was confused, he was willing to follow. She took his hand gently and lead him into the palace.
"Where am I anyway," he asked looking down at his bloody arm.
"You are in the world of Arreis, and the kingdom of Vangueard: Elven kingdom #1," Silora said giving him a quick glance.
He looked up from his bloody arm to look at Silora.
'She reminds me a lot of Sora.I wonder what the others are doing now.'
As Tai went into deep thought, they grew closer and closer to they destination.
'These wings.I wonder if I can-'
"Father!"
Tai's thoughts were interrupted by Silora's cries. He looked up, expected to see danger but only saw an old man tangled in vines.
"Hmm.odd," Tai mumbled as Silora ran to untangle him.
"Thank you sweetie!" the man said, "who's this?"
The man looked at Tai skeptically. Silora giggled as Tai returned the look.
"This is Taichi Kamiya," she said, "according to world history.and the state the world's in.I believe he is the angel in the prophecy father."
With a gasp, Silora's father ran up to Tai and inspected him carefully. Frightened, Tai backed away.
"I believe he is! Our young savior, you must save our world!"
"Wha...? Noooooo," he said shaking his head vigorously, "I'm no savior! I'm a Digidestined and I have to get back to my friends!"
"Please Taichi," Silora said dropping on one knee and bowing her head.
He backed away further.
"No. I already have a responsibility as a Digidestined to protect the Digital World," he said sternly, "My friends need a leader or else they'll be in deep-"
"Please, I'm begging you Taichi," Silora said looking up at him with pleading eyes.
Tai opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted.
"Besides Tai, we can't send you home until the portals are working again. You have no choice unless you want to die with the world." the old man said gravely.
Tai growled.
"Okay then.since you put it that way.I'll help."
"Thank you so much Taichi!" Silora said springing up and wrapping her arms around his neck.
He winced a bit and smiled weakly.
"You're welcome," Tai said, "and call me Tai, not Taichi."
With that, he collapsed in Silora's arms due to loss of blood. He woke back up in a white bedroom.
'Was it a dream?' he thought sitting up.
Suddenly, he felt the dragging feeling of his wings and mentally slapped himself. He could hear voices in the other room, one female and two males. They were talking about a journey. The door burst open and Silora walked in angry.
"I'm going with him!!" she screamed.
"Wha.?"
"You can't!" her father yelled, "what about your royal duties?"
"Get my little sister to take care of that. They need to be trained on these situations anyway."
"Fine, I give up," a younger male said, "I'm coming with you then."
"Raiyo!"
The boy named Raiyo was the same age as Silora and Tai. He had gray fur all over his body and wolfish ears and a tail. His hair was black and in a Matt-like hairstyle except longer and the back was in a ponytail.
"What's going on," Tai asked wearily.
Silora looked at Tai happily and jumped to his side.
"I'm coming with you!" she announced.
He looked in her eyes and saw something he never saw in a female's eyes before. Well, at least in a female that was looking at him. Maybe when Kari looks at TK when he comes over to study or when Sora looks at Matt every day. He snapped out of his trance and smiled.
"That's great, but, where are we going?"
"On a journey young savior. A journey to defeat an evil demon."
"Oh, okay."
Tai yawned and stretched then he looked at the wolf boy who was glaring at him.
"Hey, why're you mugging me?! What did I do?" Tai asked urgently, "and who are you?"
"The name's Raiyo Okami and Silora is my-"
"Your friend Raiyo. I am your friend," Silora said in a annoyed tone.
'So this is how TK feels.he he,' Tai thought happily.
He snickered quietly but Raiyo's ultra-sensitive ears picked up the sound and he resumed glared at Tai.
"Anyway, I'll be assisting Silora on your journey."
"Aren't you supposed to be helping me?"
"I don't like you," Raiyo sneered.
Tai looked at him confused and shrugged. Silora sighed and searched through her closet then grabbed a bow and a quarrel filled with arrows.
"Let's rest tonight. I'll stay in here with Tai since Raiyo doesn't like him and this is my room," she said sitting her quarrel down by the closet.
"Fine. Don't try anything angel-boy," Raiyo warned walking out of the room.
"I'm sure everyone will get along in due time. Good night, tomorrow's a big day for everyone," Silora's father said.
As he walked out, Tai sighed sadly.
"What's wrong Tai?" Silora asked.
"I miss my friends and family, that's all."
"Well, let's just say, the sooner we get this done, the faster we can get you home."
Tai looked down at a fallen feather on the bed.
"I guess."
Silora saw that her cheery comment didn't help and decided to change the subject.
"So, do you know the prophecy about you?"
He looked up and shook his head.
"Of course not.well, I don't remember it word from word but it says that when the world of Arreis plunges into darkness an angel will fall from the sky. The Angel of Courage will face the evil demons in the world and become the savior. Something like that. I feel like I'm leaving something out though."
"Cool.I remember I was in a prophecy similar to that but that was when I was 12 years old," Tai laughed, "imagine having such a big responsibility when you're only 12! Saving the world.Ha!"
Silora watched as Tai walked down memory lane. It was obvious he was making himself depressed again.
"And then, my best friend, who looks a lot like that wolf guy mind you, goes and asks the love of my life out! Can you believe that? He's a f- "
"Um, maybe you should forget about it.I'm sure it will make you feel better."
Tai blinked and suddenly realized he was rambling.
"Oops, I do that sometimes."
Silora smiled and laid down.
"Get some sleep Taichi.we have a big day tomorrow," she yawned.
"Good night."
Tai took off his shirt and laid back but felt his wings against his back making him uncomfortable. He cursed and rolled over onto his side. Still uncomfortable, he rolled over again, onto his stomach.
"Stupid wings." he mumbled.
As he fell asleep, his muscles relaxed causing his wings to spread out and cover him like a blanket. His subconscious mind wandered in his sleep to thoughts of home, family, and friends.
