Walking Through the Shadows
Chapter 1
By Essence
" Your a very strange girl, has anyone ever told you that?"
Destiny stopped in her tracks and turned around, the street light above flashing in her eyes.
" And what makes you say that to me?" she asked giving the man a small smile.
There was a glint of white teeth and the flash of his brown eyes but the man remained concealed in the shadows.
" It just means that many things will happen to you.," the man replied.
" What do you mean by things?" Destiny asked softly.
" An adventure, it's waiting for you." Was the reply before the man slipped back into the shadows of the ally.
Destiny continued to stare into the spot he was just standing in, before turning away and reasuming her walk.
It was a steamy summer night, the daytime tempertures had only risen with the onset of night. Tempers were running high in the city has people searched for escape from the heat. Destiny had been no diffrent, leaving the confines of her apartment she had gone to the local Recreation Center, hoping for peace and solitude in the pool. It was not to be, familes of little kids had already staked their claim when she arrived.
Destiny refused to leave and for an hour tried to deal with the shouting kids around her but finally gave up. She was tired of being bonked with rubber floaties and intertubes so she climbed out and got dressed. Bringing her into the humid night air where a man had appeared from the shadows and told her of an adventure.
The skin between her breasts was warm, where a small glass gem lay, tinged with the softest colors of blue green deep in its core. She now reached up to her neck and pulled the cyrstal out by it's black cord. A soft glow was eminating from it and even through her shirt she could feel it's heat penetrating her skin.
Something was going to happen, an adventure just like that man had warned her of.
" An adventure?" she whispered looking behind her incase he was watching her. There was nothing except the pavement tinged orange by the street lights.
* * * * *
" Venita"
She looked up through the swirling mass of clouds, searching for the voice.
" Who is that?" she called out.
" Venita"
" Who is there and who are you calling?" She yelled looking around her. The clouds were thickining and it was getting harder to see.
" Ventia, Where are you?" the voice cried out.
" I'm right here!" She yelled back grouping her way through the swirling maddness.
" Ventia watch out!" The voice yelled suddenly very close to her.
She turned around but nothing was behind her, only the swirling mass of clouds.
A womyn started screaming mingaling with the voice of a man crying out in pain but his voice died out to leave the womyn alone. She now weeped sadly, speaking in a incohenserable tone.
The clouds began to break apart, and moonlight filtered through. Destiny stumbled forward into the cool night air. Her face was bathed in light, a fire raged in the distance yet there was no heat from it. No sound of crackaling flames or people screaming in withering pain of their deathes.
Destiny brought one hand up to her mouth, a metallic taste coating her lips. She looked down to her hands to see they were coated with blood.
" Blood?" She whispered looking down at them. Behind her a shadow stalked up holding a gleaming sword in it's hands.
Destiny sensed it's pressence and whirled around, the sword was already raised above her.
" Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!" She screamed staring into the gleaming blade falling upon her.
Her eyes flew open, fear refelecting in their ocean colored depthes, a cold sweat soaking her skin and clinging her night shirt to her body.
A soft breeze blew the curtains at her window, cool air flowed in and gathered around her bed.
Destiny sat up in bed and pulled the covers away from her bare legs. The floor was cold agaisnt her bare feet has she walked over to the window and closed it.
Outside the night was still, a hazy night hanging over the lit up city.
A hazy night?
" I wonder when it got so cold?" Destiny mummered resting her forehead on the glass.
Outside the heat seemed to shimmer on the people walking on the sidewalks. Girls lifted their sweat bangs off their foreheads hoping for a cool breeze. Boys rolled up their sleeves and mopped off sweaty faces with the back of their hands.
" What a heat wave," one girl mummered waving her hand in front of her face.
The man next to her nodded, and slipped his arm around her.
" Come on lets go to the arcade, maybe the air conditionar will be working there."
The girl nodded and the couple walked on looking for relief from the heat.
Far above them from her window, Destiny looked down on the street, shivering in the coolness of her room.
Sitting on the roof dressed in pale blue and soft leather boots, a little girl kicked her feet. She looked down on the swealtering city. Her white eyes glowed silvery with frost, snowflakes gathering around her. She smiled down at the city running one finger over her cheek and blowing a kiss.
The snowflakes around her fell from the sky, to the ground below where they disappered into the night.
From above the rooftop was empty, all signs of the little girl gone.
* * * * *
The street was quiet that afternoon, heat shimmered in waves from the white sidewalk. Sunlight beating down on her bare sholders.
Destiny walked in a half-sleepy stage, weighed down by bags of groceries, pieces of hair sticking to her sweaty skin.
Far off in the park, children played on the playground, swinging from monkey bars and running through the white sand. Their voices carrying to her ears, Destiny looked up from the ground, smiling in the direction where the children were.
* * * * *
" Who is she?"
The shadowed figure moved forward, one hand resting at her throat.
" Her name is Destiny Hoku, she is 20 years old and lives alone. Her parents died when she was 16. She is a--"
" Stop! I do not need her personal life story. Is she the one?"
The girl nodded and stepped into the light, she was dressed in varying shades of plum. Her short hair pulled up and fastened on each side of her head with black ribbons.
" She is the one, she's the only one. Her personality nearly radiates with it, all the others are so seacrative yet she seems to want us to know where she is."
" Fine," the lady shifted in her chair bringing one red stocking clad leg into the light.
" We'll send her our little welcoming card, let her know we are on to her disguse."
" Who will you send?" The plum child asked timidly.
The lady's red eyes glowed has she turned to the plum colored child; a smile on her red rouged lips.
" Why do you ask that Umeko? Do I sense that it is you who wishes to go?"
Umeko blushed and said nothing, her interntions where to well known.
"Let me see, Azul is the power of water, Saffron works with the power of fire, Tritinity works with the power of darkness and you are the power of the flowers and plants."
Umeko looked up in hope, her purple eyes glowing with excitement.
" Fire will always melt ice, fire burns ice," she mummered nibbling on one finger. " I shall send Saffron, the power of her fire should melt the ice of Destiny."
Umeko nodded, obviously disappointed in the fact that she had been looked over.
" Go and get Saffron, deliver my message to her," the lady said pointing one finely maniqured hand into the darkness.
Umeko bowed herself out of the room, disappering into the darkness.
Now alone in the darkness, she snapped her fingers. Fire erupted from a basin floating near to her, luminating white skin. Accented by red and orange flames painted around her eyes and extending into deep red hair.
" Ahh, Destiny your name besets the fate that works our world but alas fate has turned away from you to see your downfall," she purred happily.
The lady curled around the golden pillow clasped in her arms, kicking away the sparkaling cloth of her black gown.
* * * * *
Umeko's footstaeps echoed on the stone floor, darkness masking her face. She walked with forceful anger marring her usally peaceful face.
Farther into the darkness a door opened into what seemed to be the pits of hell. Dancing through the flames was a girl, her orange hair twirling around her body. Her golden robes, trimmed with accents of red swirling and clinging to her.
Umeko stepped into the doorway, leaning on it's wooden frame and crossed her arms over her chest.
Among the flames the girl spun in circles, her arms flung about her fingers spread wide. Spinning faster and faster until she stopped, her back to Umeko. Saffron made some movements, fanning the flames to her and spun around. A wooden stick in her hand, she held it up to her mouth and blew, fire shot forward, flying toward Umeko
Umeko looked up from studying her nails, one hand sneaking behind her into the pouch hanging at her side. With a flick of the wrist she reached into the bag pulling out a handful of magenta petals and threw them forward. There was a flash of light and an explosion has the petals came in contact with the fire. Embers fell to the ground whithering on the floor before disappering into the stone. The fires of hell burning out, leaving Saffron standing alone in a darkened cave.
" She choose you," Umeko said throwing a glass ball at her.
Saffron caught in red gloved hands and looked down into the swirling glass. She smiled at Umeko and swept down to her knees disappering into a swirl of fire.
" Hmm," Umeko muttered and turned away walking out of the room.
* * * * *
The apartment was swealtering in the late afternoon heat when Destiny walked in. She kicked off her shoes and walked over the white carpet in her bare feet to the kitchen. She set the bags onto the counter and opened the window above the sink. Cool air blew in swirling the curtains and falling over the kitchen floor.
Through the cool air, Destiny walked back into the darkened living room. The curtains had been closed but now she pulled them away and open the sliding glass door. The sun was setting over the city casting a red light over everything. Over the jab she walked to the edge of the balcony, ocean colored hair blowing around her. Reaching up she brushed strands of hair behind her ear and smiled.
It was such a beautiful day, accompanied by a beautiful evening to come.
Destiny turned away from the sun and walked back into the room, the air was cooler yet still dark. Red sunlight played upon the white carpet has she walked back to the kitchen, something stopped her though. Time seemed to slow down has Destiny turned around to face the door, the next moments embedded on her mind.
Fire shot through the door; covering everything in it's path, throwing her to the ground. Destiny covered her head with her arms has she felt the heat of the fire pass over her. Tears stung her eyes, mixed with smoke has she buried her face in to the carpet. Behind her standing among the charred ruins of the door a little girl carring a wooden stick smiled.
Destiny sensed the pressence and lifted her head getting up to her feet. There was no damage in front of her, pristine white wood, glass glistining in the late afternoon sunlight . She then turned her head to see the little girl standing at the door, her smile widened has she lifted the stick to her mouth.
" Who are you?" Destiny asked into the silence of the room.
The girl only smiled, twirling the stick around her before sweeping her body low to the ground and disappering into a circle of fire.
