PROLOGUE

Long before the New Age an age more powerful than any other existed. The age of the aloles, or the Twilight Creatures in the New Age, who come in dreams and on rainy nights can be seen. This story is here to tell you of a strange and wise age.

CHAPTER 1

A strange thing with wings on its back woke up suddenly. "It" was actually a she. Her name was Procne and was a simple princess of her people. Her father the Heaven God was probably off at the Gate. The Gate was sealed off with magic because of the terror behind it. The "terror" was the only thing described to the underage aloles. Procne knew it had something to do with dark magic. The proper name was cosmic magic. The Gate had to be sealed off with Arithmanco. The last level of magic you have to master before you graduate. Procne was on Angelic magic. Procne looked outside to find it dark. Her head throbbing she fell back on the pillows and slept.

[Kit M.]

Procne woke up again to find everyone gone. Her mother, her father and even her friend could not be seen in the Wind Gate.

"Toto!" she called. Toto was her magical friend that gave her advice, not a "normal" alole. "Toto!" she called again. He better not be telling my nurse about that small rip in the cloud off to the south! Procne thought. She smiled. It was a memorable day when it happened:

"Come on, Toto!" Procne yelled. She wanted to go south to try out her wind magic by herself.

"Coming, must you always be so impatient?" Toto said in his nagging voice. Procne crossed her arms. [/color]

[Kit M.]

“Let’s go!” Procne said. They arrived at a good spot soon enough. Every crescent moon day she and Toto came here to practice her magic. There were 5 types. Wind, Wing, Angelic, Divine and Arithmanco, were the ones weakest to strongest. Procne hated being in the weakest class so she came to the same spot to practice and strengthen.

Procne cleared her throat. “Sal Fer!” she uttered. Sal in the Ancient Language meant “small.” So when combined with a word it created something small. Unfortunately she had wanted it in the air. Instead it had gone on the ground. Therefore the cloud now had a small hole in it.

“Run!” Toto said, “This is why you haven’t got in to Divine Magic. You can’t control your magic!”

“You won’t tell will you Toto?” Procne asked desperately.
He bit his lip arguing with the fact of responsibility and the friendship they shared. Finally, “No, I guess not,” She had shrieked with excitement and then they agreed never to mention it.

Procne came out of her daydream. That was a long time ago and Toto usually kept his promises. He was a fairy to her of course. Every child had one, this one just happened to have brains. Procne chuckled at the thought. She decided to get to the bottom of what was going on.

[Kit M.]

Procne went around the whole castle. She went to the tower which was a sunny place that went up farther into clouds. She even checked the court room which she usually stayed away from. Once she had combed the castle she still had found nothing. Finally, she decided to go outside. For some reason it was getting slightly darker by the second. It had been less than an hour when she got up and then it was even dark.

"Toto! Dad! PEOPLE!" Procne screamed. Where is everybody? She thought to herself. She sat down and realized someone was coming in the distance. It was a small figure. If she went up and stood right next to it, it would be only up to her waist. She started gathering power in case she needed to attack. Finally it came into better view. It was a-

"A fairy!" Procne exclaimed. She was delighted to see one and this one seemed not to have an "owner" or more likley a child.

The fairy looked at her with big brown eyes that took up a third of her face. "Yes, I am a fairy. I have a message from Lord Daven."

Procne was so excited. She had not seen or even heard from her father. She wanted to jump up and down like a little child. "What is it?"

The fairy looked with an expression on her face that clearly said, How are you the Heaven Daughter? "Lord Daven says, 'Stay in the castle no matter when it gets dark. Do not go out of the castle at night and do not come to the Dark Gate.' His words exactly."

[sjr0301]

That really was a cliffie. Now you MUST post more. ;D

[Kit M.]

Procne gaped at her. How could he stay away from the castle 2 days and not even tell me what’s going on? She thought angrily. He’s out there doing exciting stuff, and me? I’m stuck in the castle protected like a little girl! I can do magic and I’m almost in Divine Magic! It’s unfair!

The fairy had not left and Procne had not realized she had said the last part of what she thought out loud. “Unfair?” the fairy said. “You get to be completely protected and the rest of us are out there doing dangerous things? You should be happy! Don’t want to lose your pretty head do you?”

Procne glared at her. “Do you think I want to be stuck in the Wind Gate? ARGH! I rather risk, how you said it, ‘my pretty little head’ than be protected! Humph!” She turned on her heal and walked away. The fairy watched her stomp away.

[Kit M.]

I hope that solves the cliffie. ;D Working on the next part still.

[Kit M.]

The fairy watched Procne until she dissapeared. Once she had she went back to the Dark Gate to Lord Daven. He was a strong bold man. His wings were even muscular! And he had a scar going down his cheek. He, though the fairy did not know it, was thinking uneasily of the consequences that he just had made through giving that message. He even wondered if the fairy survived "Lord Daven," the fairy said breaking him out of thought. The lord turned to look at the fairy.

"Ah, Matsy." He said thorughly relieved. "I suppose that seeing you here means she didn't blow you into a thousand pieces?"

"Yes, she has learned to control her temper a bit. No offense, Lord." Matsy told him.

Daven chuckled. "No offense taken Matsy. I must here more about it later."

Matsy just looked at him with her big brown eyes. "Of course Lord Daven. Are you still, trying to figure out what is wrong here?"

The Heaven God's face turned dark. "It seems that it will be ready to bust unless we have someone use Arithmanco." He sighed and continued. "The most powerful Arithmanco is Lord Natalie, but she has gotten very ill. It seems all the Cosmic Magic has gotten to her and she has been experimenting with her spells on it trying to find the right one. If we don't close the gate completly it will bust causing the Heavens to go into mass chaotic danger," He was very grave when he told Matsy this.

"Why not the young Heaven Daughter, Procne?" Matsy inquired.

Daven was stricken by the idea. "Are you crazy Matsy? She hasn't even got to Divine Magic yet! It could kill her." Matsy nodded and walk away, deciding that this conversation was at the top. The Heaven God just had to much on his hands. I always told him when he was a boy, don't pressure yourself. She thought fondly. She had been his fairy just like Toto was Procne. She sighed and joined the other fairies.


Next part Chapter 2! (I think)

[Kit M.]

To me, quick bookbark. To invisible people that I can't see posting, chapter 2 is being worked on.

[Kit M.]

having some writerblock. Next thing coming soon. School is getting a bit of a nusciance.

[Kit M.]

Hi, sorry haven't posted for awhile, so here it is.


CHAPTER 2

After Procne walked off, she decided to go to the Dark Gate. No one would see her. Father is going to be mad, but since when have I cared? She thought to herself. Why not have some fun, instead of being locked in the Gate with no one there. It’s not like anyone would notice. “It’s not like anyone’s here either!” she screamed into the empty corridor. She then left the Gate and flew off to the Dark Gate.



Once Procne had left, a fairy flew in. “Procne!” the fairy shouted.

“Procne! Where are you? Stop this foolishness at once!” the fairy yelled. Worried, it flew upstairs to see if she was hiding.

“Lord Daven is going to be very angry with me, if I lost her. Oh yes, he’ll punish me, most definitely and I have to stop talking to myself.” The fairy flew up and down and all around the Gate. But not one sign of her.

“I am so going to be demoted,” the fairy said to itself and finally left the Gate to look elsewhere.





Procne flew to the Dark Gate which was a while away even for walking. It had to be a long distance away or else the Cosmic Magic could make you sick. When she finally could see the Gate, she landed and hid behind a rock.

“Go find Toto, he should be looking for Procne,” said a voice that she recognized as her father’s. “I worry when she’s alone. She gets very nasty.”

Toto won’t find me, because I already
left. Ah the joy of victory! Procne smiled to herself. She then went back to listening and was just in time. A fairy appeared out of nowhere.

“Well Toto?” the voice of Lord Daven said.

“I’m sorry to say sir, that I-I, well, um, you see, I-” Toto’s voice struggled to say. Procne took a peek and saw that he was rather uncomfortable.

“Spit it out Toto.” Lord Daven said.

Toto took a deep breath and said, “You see sire, Procne is, well, nowhere to be find! I’ve looked everywhere possible and she was never there. Not a hint or trace. Not even her magic scent!” Procne smiled triumphantly.

“This is a major problem; of course she would never have thought that anyone would come and look for her so she didn’t use magic forgetting that it leaves a scent anyway.” The voice of the fairy Matsy said. “Unless….” Her voice wandered off uneasily. Procne was starting to get second ideas. Too bad she couldn’t go back. People would see her. After a while everyone went silent and they went back to work. Procne closed her eyes and drifted off.

[Kit M.]

Hello, peeps that may be reading and are not replying.
Enjoy




When Procne woke up it was sunset. Everyone except 10 fairies, Toto, Matsy and Lord Daven went home. She took a peek and here eyes widened with horror. The Dark Gate was overpowering and would soon burst open in a matter of days, maybe less! She lifted her head and it felt big. She saw something fly suddenly her way and hit her head.

“Ouch!” she exclaimed with a groan. People would soon be coming over to see who said that.

“Invisil,” she said. Suddenly a cold wave of magic engulfed her leaving her invisible. A worry however swept over her. People were looking behind the rock. Soon enough they would sense her magic scent. She had to get out of there and quick! So she took off as fast as possible and flew to the Wind Gate. As she took off she could see Toto and Matsy snooping around. The last thing she heard was, “Toto, go back to the Wind Gate.”

By the time Procne was home it was well past dark. When she opened the doors to the Wind Gate, someone was already waiting for her.

“I see that you have already broken your father’s word and went on to the Dark Gate.” said a nagging voice. Procne spun around to face her fairy, Toto.

[Kit M.]

“Yes, I suppose I have.” She said defiantly. Toto gazed sadly at her.

“Why did you do that Procne?” He asked her. He seemed to not know whether to be sad, angry or worried.

“No one would’ve cared, since NO ONE WAS AROUND!” Procne shouted. She wanted to burst out with anger.

“I’VE BEEN LEFT HERE ALONE BY MYSELF FOR THREE DAYS!” She screamed. “DO YOU THINK I HAVE FUN HERE? BEING PROTECTED? I AM PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF HANDLING MYSELF? ALL ANYONE DOES IS LEAVE ME HERE TO WONDER- ‘WHERE’S DADDY? WHAT ABOUT MOM?’ She stopped for a second to let this fade in.

NO! NO ONE LETS ME HANDLE MYSELF! MAKE MY OWN DECISION! ALL THEY GIVE ME IS A STUPID MESSAGE, SAYING ‘STAY AWAY FROM THE DARK GATE!’ HOW FUN TO STAY AT HOME WITH NOBODY HERE, WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS HELPING. I AM SICK OF IT!” After the last words came across, she fainted. Toto stood there with his mouth opened for a few seconds, when the door burst open.

[Kit M.]

In came Lord Daven, Matsy, and ten fairies holding Lady Natalie with magic. She was awake. Lord Daven rushed over to Procne. “What happened Toto!?” he asked him very worried.
“Yes, what has happened!” Lady Natalie said panic-stricken.

“It seems my lady, my lord that Procne has been near the Dark Gate. She was out for half a day. She started yelling at me when suddenly, she fainted. The exposure to the Dark Gate must have made her ill! She will certainly die if something is not done.” Toto said hurriedly while they put Procne into her bed.

“What are we to do Lady Natalie, Lord Daven?” Matsy asked. Natalie bit her lip.

“What is my lady?” Daven asked.

“We could use Arithmanco to save her.” She said. “But I would have to be the one to do it. I am the strongest Arithmanco here and not even a thousand fairies could cure her.”

“Natalie!” Lord Daven panicked, “Why you!? You would surely die! We can’t lose you!”

“Yes, but we can’t lose Procne. The Cosmic Magic from the Dark Gate is way too powerful to use anyone else. Besides, I am at my last strength. I will surely die in a matter of days. If I die and Procne dies, no one will be around to take over when you die,”

“Natalie, you might get better!” Daven said.

“My lady, my lord, I do suggest you finish this quickly or Procne will gain a Dark Fever. No one has survived that.” said Toto.

“What about the cure?” Daven asked.

“Only Lady Natalie can use that, but she’s not at her full strength. The Arithmanco wouldn’t be strong enough. When Her Highness dies, Pronce will be the strongest Arithmanco.” Matsy informed them.

“You see Daven? I must,” Natalie said in triumph. Daven sighed. He could see he had lost. Resigned for the worst, Daven stood back and Natalie began the process.

Chapter 3 The Healing

In her deep restless sleep Procne dreamed.

A cruel harsh laugh came from behind a woman. The woman was definetly an alole. She bore the Gold Talisman. The sign of the Heaven Daughter (Aloes bore a son every 10 years. The child of the Heaven God is most likley a daughter). "You won't find it in there," the harsh voice said.

"How do you know!? Speak!" the woman said. The man's face split into a cruel smile.

" I always know." The man dissapeared. Procne's mind was fading. As people worried, Procne was very exhausted and bewildered. Her mind went black.

[Kit]

Outside, Natalie was bracing herself. She charged full power. Before releasing the spell, she looked at Daven. She smiled.

"You haven't said much," she said with a smile.

"I'm not the one preparing magic," Daven answered grinning.

"Not even a sound to stop me? You are losing your touch!"

Daven laughed. "You already won. What else can I do?" Natalie shrugged.

"See you in the next life," she winked. Then she started,

"Power of darkness stop your slay,
Your time to come is today.
I draw out from this body, and give
it thine powers!"

There was a huge flashing light. Everyone covered their eyes. For a moment the light stayed, then just as suddenly as it came it disapeared. The light cleared. Natalie looked at her family and dropped dead. Procne woke up with a start.
