The sun was up early in that morning…it was as if the night was banished by the day light sooner than the rest of the days. The village was still asleep and the streets empty while a cloaked person was rushing for the village’s exit. It was a young girl with blue hair that could be seen coming off her cloak and two bright brown eyes. She had her face covered with a piece of gray silk so nobody could recognize her. Tied of her belt a short sword in a golden scabbard with a jade hilt served as a protection against anyone who would want to stand in their way. In the corner of her left eye a tear made her way under the silk that covered her face. “He is no more….just give up May”. These words came back to her mind and soon she wake up in a middle of a field of corn. She remembered were she was because it was not the first time there; the only difference was that now she was inside her memories. It was her gift…the ability to go back in her memories any time she pleased and now she was standing in front of three persons. One of them was her, and the other two were two elders of the Hude’lak Throne, form the Kingdom of Moon. She knew back then, and seeing it one more time made her feel deep grief. The reason those two elders were there was because of her master Jad’kan, the one that raised her and thought her all she knew about being a Moon Warrior despite the fact she was a girl. After what they were saying he disappeared in the middle of town Gri’stol, also known as the land of thieves. She was the only one that knew why he was there and because of that she was visited by the officials of the Throne Hude’lak . “I do not know” she heard herself saying that lie for the second time and he watched again the reaction of those two who left without saying anything. She knew…..she knew why her master went to Gri’stol, but she couldn’t speak up…she promised not to do that and now she was paying the consequences for that. Though she still didn’t understood back then, when she was training with her master what he was saying about the grave danger in which are all the Kingdoms, she promised to him that she would go to the last place he was heard of and continue what he started if something were to happen with him. Just now she realized that that afternoon was the last time she saw him before e left. He even said farewell to her though he never does that. Now she was able thanks to her gift to realize things that at that time slipped her.She suddenly faded away from the memories when she saw a couple of green uniforms coming towards her. The girl suddenly turned right and disappeared from their sight. She founded ironically that a few days ago she was in the elite group of warriors from the Kingdom of Moon, a special division which was in charge with secret missions about assassination, recovery, tracking and other dangerous situations, and now she was a fugitive and she was looked for in the entire Kingdom because of her disappearance. She knew that soon they’ll realize that she was deserting and that’s why she was in such a rush to leave the last village of the Kingdom named Yada’rin.
The exit was just at less than 100 meters away when the sky turned black and from it rays of light started to fall around her, and where the beams of light touched the soil, ghosts of light took form in front of her. Before the sky regain its gray color, a white lightning stroke the ground making a cloud of dust to rise slowly. After a couple of seconds, the dust vanished and in its place two people wearing green armors were waiting for her. It was a blonde boy with short hair and a smiley face, and a brown girl with short hair and blue eyes. While she stopped, the ghosts that almost had no physical form were gathering around her. “Why May? Why did you left?” asked the boy and on his face the smile was suddenly erased. “You’re deserting, aren’t you?” asked the girl next to him. May took down her cloak allowing her hair to fall freely on the back and after looking at them for a few moments she replied : “I apologies for what I’m about to do, but there is no turning back now, and you know it well Fara’na ,and you to Bad’ar .” “But still…why?” asked again the girl named Fara’na slowly like she ran out of air. “There’s something I have to do outside this Kingdom’s walls” replied May hating to see her younger friends on the other side off the battlefield. “ “Some time ago we were dispatched and sent to search for you in all the Kingdom….we were told to treat you like an enemy” said the young man and with a move from his hand, the ghosts started to get closer and closer to May’s position. So that means that from this moment on you’re my enemies? “Asked her and she putted her left hand on the sword’s hilt carefully. “The boy suddenly disappeared from her sight and he showed back a moment later on the top of a pillar in her right with his hands crossed over his chest. “You know….you could at least tell us what you’re going to do” said the girl in the green armor who disappeared too and appeared in her back. “It’s not nice to let your friends in dark “said the boy too, and with another move of his hand, the ghosts disappeared like they never were there. “For a moment, I really started to think that you’ll attack me”, confessed relieved the girl and smiled. “For a moment, I thought about it too, said Bad’ar and he disappeared again from the pillar and appeared beside May. The two of them who appeared in front of her were her only true friends from this Kingdom and she knew them since they were little, and they used to play together all kinds of crazy games and to do a lot of damage to neighbors. They were also Moon Warrior’s elite members and their skills truly remarkable.
“You should go now…or others will spot you and I’m afraid that they will not be as understanding as we were.” The boy started laughing and bowed towards her. “Come back soon...the elite won’t be an elite anymore if you’re not there” said Fara’na and she went beside the young man. “Thanks….I’ll promise I will return soon and I’ll bring with me my master as well” after saying that the wind started to blow heavily in her face making May understood that it’ll not be an easy task at all.“They are coming…hurry up and leave, said the boy looking careful at the roads where a metallic sound started to hear. “Go, go May” said the Fara’na. and the girl putted her cloak back on and started running towards the exit leaving her friends behind.
Soon she was in the near jungle, making her way towards Gri’stol……
