~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ANGEL WINGS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A young girl stood at the edge of the world, her light purple hair blowing in the wind as she stared wide eyed at the destruction before her.
"What? What happened?!" She whispered and took off running down a street littlered with debris from colapsed and broken buildings. Torn papers with unknown words picked up a waltz as a stronger gust of wind blew through
"Hello..? Is anyone here? Please answer me!" She yelled looking up at the sky, frowning to see that the sky was covered in dark clouds that took a color of deep blood red. Something tugged at the back of her mind and she turned around, ignoring the baren black trees. Her eyes landed on a woman standing at the top of a broken building, tears flowing down her pale cheeks as her blue hair twisted and flowed in the wind. Her hair's bright blue standing out against the heavenly white of her wings.
"Hey! What happened here?" She called and slowly the winged being turned to look at her, opening her mouth to speak.
"Aya look out!" A voice broke Aya's day dream just before a volley ball connected with the head of the purple haired girl, blasting her into a hot sunny school yard. "Aya are you okay?" Two girls stood infront of the girl while she shook out her head.
"Yeah I'm fine, just did a little too much day dreaming" Aya laughed, pushing what she had dreamed about to the back of her mind.
"You're such a space case Aya. Now come on, we need to go get changed." One of Aya's friends put an arm around her shoulder, walking Aya towards the locker room.
"Yui! Not everyone can be as smart as you." Aya giggled as she changed into her school uniform.
"Well maybe if you studied for once you would be considered smart too." Yui laughed as she pulled her backpack over her shoulder. "I need to go to the library Aya, how about you come with me? You need to get a book for your litature class." Yui said, smiling as she heard Aya groan a complaint.
"Alright Yui, I'll meet you there after I go to geometry."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
An hour later Aya stood infront of the city library, mumbling to herself as she paced back and forth.
"What was that thing I saw earlier? It must have been a dream.. I mean come on, a person with wings? Fat chance of that happening." Aya glanced up and saw that fifteen minutes had passed. "Where's Yui? It's not like her to be so later or just ditch." Aya sighed before sitting down on a bench. "Who knows? Maybe she's already inside and looking around for me there!" Aya pulled herself back up to her feet and walked into the library.
"Yui? Yui are you here?" Aya whispered as she walked through the oldest part of the library. She had checked everyother part of the library but still no sign of Yui. "Yui this isn't funny!" Aya called as she continued searching. "Well if she's going to be like that I'll just pick out my book then." Aya glanced around and her eyes landed on a thick burgandy book with gold writing on the edge. The book was located on a shelf that was about five shelves above her head. Aya looked around and spotted a stepstool, she pulled it over and stood on the highest step trying to get to the book, but with no luck.
"Come on! There has to be a way to reach it." Aya reached up to where she could grab a shelf and pulled herself up onto a shelf above the stool. "Almost there .. Got it!" Aya cluched the book tight and froze when she heard the wood groaning under the pressure of her weight. "Oh crap.." Aya let out a shrill scream as the bookshelf fell forwards, knocking down other bookcases in a chain reaction, sending books flying everywhere. Aya climbed out of a pile of fallen books, coughing at all the dust in the air, she still held the book tight in her arms.
"I'm so dead, but at least I was able to hold onto the book." Aya ran her hand over the covering, fingering the indented words. "Angel's Wing, Intresting title."
Aya settled down, using the pile of books as a chair before opening up to the prologue.
"Once upon a time there was a princess, daught of the moon and the stars who descended down from the heavens.." Aya read and paused for a moment. "This beautiful being was believed to be destined to purge the kingdom of Makai of all evil." she sighed, a dazed dreamy look crossed her face. "I wish I could be like her, I bet she lives an exciting life."
Aya stared down at the book, thinking to herself before starting to read again, suddenly the book started glowing in Aya's hands.
"What the heck?!" Aya yelled dropping the book and scooting away from it. She looked down at her hands seeing that the blue light had remained there, and was now flowing up her arms. Aya yelled, sheilding her eyes as the light got brighter and brighter. As suddenly as it had began, it stopped. The book snapped shut and Aya was gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
"Where is she? Dang it Aya! I told you to meet me at the library!" Yui stood outside of the government resourse library, tapping her foot impatiently looking around for anysign of her best friend. "Wait.. we never specified what library.. Oh Aya!" Yui took off running towards the city library.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Aya fell through the air faster and faster, plummeting down towards the ground.
"This isn't funny!" Aya screamed, shutting her eyes tight. "I'm too young to di-!" Aya's screams were cut off as she jolted upwards. "What? How am I still alive?" Aya opened her eyes, now able to take the time to look around. "A mountain in the sky?" Aya looked around in awe. To her left lay an ocean, to her right was lush land with a volcano in the center. Around her was large amounts of land floating in the sky, including a towering moutain.
"Hey girl! You going to thank me or what? I just saved your sorry bottom." Aya squeaked when she heard a voice above her head. She saw a thin, tall young man with flowing red hair. The thing that caught her attention was the pair of dark red, almost black wings. "Too good to thank me sweetie? A cute girl liek you should be more polite." The man chuckled, bringing her up to a more secure location in his arms.
"What on earth are you?!" Aya cried, looking up at him with a small blush. Suddenly a large blast of energy shot up at them, the man dived to the side to dodge the energy blast.
"Not important at the moment Princess." The guy chuckled as Aya voiced her complaints at being called Princess.
"Let her go Mephisto!" A male's voice called as another blast of energy shot up at them. Aya looked down at a short silver haired man in an ornate gown; holding a sliver staff.
"Never Master Mage Clef! She's important to you so naturally I'll be keeping her!" The flying man, Mephisto cupped Aya's chin. "I'm sure I'd find some use for a cute thing like her." Mephisto said slyly, making Aya's blush turn darker.
"Let go of me you pervert!" Aya yelled as she struggled to get free.
"Keep this up and you'll fall! Do you really want to fall to your death?" Mephisto cried, trying to keep his hold on her.
"I don't care!" Aya shoved her hands against Mephisto's chest, pushing her body away from his. Clef shot another beam at them and Aya fell out of Mephisto's arms. She shut her eyes tight as she realised she was falling face first towards the ground. A purple dome like bubble wrapped around Aya and slowed her plummit to the ground.
"Back off of her midget boy! I saw her first!" Mephisto yelled down at Clef as Aya landed on the ground.
"Begone demon!" Clef raised his staff and fired a white blast up at Mephisto. When the light had faded Mephisto had already left. "Are you alright young maiden?" Clef approached Aya and helped her to her feet. "That demon didn't hurt you did he?"
"Where am I?" Who was that guy? Why did he have wings and what is going on?!" Aya said quickly, leaving Clef with a confuzed look as he absorbed her questions into his mind.
"Come with me to the castle young maiden. I will explain everything once we get there." Clef turned walking off towards a castle that looked to be made up of crystal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
"What is this place?" Aya asked as she and Clef walked through one of the many halls in the castle.
"This is the Castle of Light in the kingdom of Makai." Clef said in short reply.
"So is there a castle of darkness?" Aya asked sarcastically and blinked in suprize as Clef nodded.
"Makai has two castles; the castle of light and the castle of darkness. Makai is a kingdom of emotion; the castle of light is powered by the positive hopes and dreams of the people, and the castle of darkness is the opposite." Clef finished and turned down another hall, Aya picking up the pace to keep up with him.
"So where is this castle of darkness located at?" Aya asked.
"I'm not too sure, only the Princess of Light knows where the castle of darkness is." Clef lookd down at the ground. "Our Princess is dead, and so our enemy is taking advantage of the situation."
"How did the princess die?" Aya reached over and touched Clef's arm, trying to comfort him.
"Princess Fiona fell in love with the younger brother of Princess Nassandry of Darkness. Since it is forbidden for one of darkness and one of light to be together, they both commited suicide so they could be together in death." Clef said quietly
"That's so romantic.." Aya wipped her eyes, pulling out a cloth from her pockets to clean her face.
"It's not romantic! It was stupid! Princess Fiona left us with no way to run the kingdom! Now we'll all be destroyed by Nassandra and her minions!" Clef snapped before letting out a sigh. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to seem angry with you. It's just since the princess died I've been taking care of the kingdom myself."
"That brings up a question.. Why did you rescue me? I'm sure you had better stuff to do with your time." Aya's question worked as a signal as Clef started pacing.
"Because of the great legend of Makai. It's said that a woman from another world in odd clothing would come and that she will be the savior of the light. Destorying the darkness and bringing peace." Clef looked at her with an intense expression. "You are the Celestial Princess, daughter of the moon and stars. It is your duty to save Makai."
