Diaries Of Dark Entanglements: Balance and Power

Our story begins on a planet called Gieă in a Continent called 'Eclispe of the Oceans' where chaos slowly unfolds with its influence slowly spreading into the entire world. This is a slow-paced story that follows multiple characters shaped ruthlessly by desires and passion. A young dragon princess thirsty for acknowledgement, A prisoner breaking free from fate, A shadow who would die for his master, A light without a source and a question without an answer. Some fight for power, some fight to destroy, some fight to save, some fight for freedom, some fight for love, some fight for vengeance and some fight from duty. They all bleed, some of them fall, some grow and some lose sight of their purpose while consciously or unconsciously trying to find one thing,.. Balance. In a world riddled by chaos where 'good people and bad people' have been replaced by the terms 'winners or losers', where greed determines justice and vanity replaces passion, where energies conflicts, wars emerge and ruthlessness gets imprinted by experience into the hearts of even the most innocent and brave heroes. They stand for their desire and themselves with a riddle left unanswered from the very beginning of time,.. "What truly is balance?.." Follow our main characters through their dramatic struggles for answers as the choices they make influences themselves and their world. THIS IS A SLOW-PACED STORY AND THERE WOULDN'T BE LOTS OF ACTION SCENES AT THE BEGINNING BUT AS TIME PROGRESSES, SCENES LIKE THIS WOULD BE MORE COMMON. TRUST ME, THIS IS A STORY WORTH THE INVESTMENT OF READING!.

ARRIVAL TO A GREAT CLAN IN THE COASTAL TERRITORY.

***On Planet Gieă, In the Outskirts of the Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans', Chingford's Academy gates..

     It's a lively afternoon within Clingford's Martial academy grounds. After a much desired one week break, the students have mostly resumed back into their respective spaces while linking up with friends and mates as they discussed petty matters with smiles and liveliness instead of the former tired faces and weary attitudes that had infected the Academy grounds before the break.

     It's both surprising and heart-warming what a single week with each person's families could do to their mental and physical state as every disciple looks re-energized and prepared to face the difficulties that comes with a new martial term. Everyone but one person.

     With his Sheathed Claymore sword and hikers bag on his back, another bag in his right hand and another in his left Navi walks through the Academy school gates while attracting small confused stares even from the Gate Guards at his pathetic physical state.

     The dark circles around his eyes could be seen from a mile away, his lustrous ink black hair is very long overdue for a trim and his skin is in an inhumane shade of pale. His steps were firm but his pace suggests that he feels no comfort from swinging his limbs and the vein redness around his orange iris made him look more than a little tired and freaky.

     Navi distractedly scans his Disciple slip at the front gates before calmly continuing his journey through the Academy's grounds. Sometimes, a gaze would stay on his lone figure for a little too long and sometimes a question filled look would be directed his way but he could actually care less as the pains in his 'bones' works wonders on his still buzzing mind.

     His neatly ironed white robes stands a very sharp contrast to his 'state' and somehow he still managed to pull off a striking image with his odd visuals. With his short height and distinct eye colour a lot of people immediately recognised him as the cold and young martial disciple but they didn't care enough to ponder about him for long as they soon withdrew their gazes.

     It took about fifteen minutes due to his pace but soon, Navi finds himself back inside the building hosting his dorm. Navi halts his steps as he looks at the base of the flights of stairs leading up to where he needs to be.

     His room sits on the third floor so he has to go through six flights of stairs before making it up!. For a moment, the flights of stairs looked like tiny little mountains he has to overcome.

     Giving a small sigh, Navi places his leg on the first set while immediately giving a small gulp as his leg muscles trembles in agony.

***In the Coastal Clan's territory of Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans' *Consort Tamara's Imperial Carriages..

     Its mid afternoon in the Coastal Clan's territory and a spectacle occurs to thousands of onlookers as five exclusive Imperial Carriages with an aura of the purest Nobility are seen magically gliding through the air while being pulled by wingless Crystal Dragon-horses.

     The toned and muscular Dragon-horses made of Ruby Pink Crystals looked beyond breathtaking as the crystal beasts gives coordinated and harsh strikes against the air with their hooves while creating multi-coloured Diamond-like plates for a second as they used this plates as stepping stones over the air.

     The air itself seemed to sparkle from the Majestic aura of the Crystal Dragon-horses and the clouds parted ways in declaration of the presence of the highest order of nobility on these lands.

     Inside the Distinct Carriage belonging Imperial Consorts, Imperial Consort Tamara can be seen clothed in an Elaborate Purple and Silver robe as well as in jewelleries made of the rarest jade's, the fanciest gems and the most breath-taking patterns. Her make-up is done not in an attempt to re-enforce her already destructive beauty but rather in tones of subtle aggressive and passive authority.

Currently, Imperial Consort Tamara can be seen calmly standing just three steps away from the Carriages closed double door with her eyelids to hide her beautiful brown eyes as calculations runs through her mind.

     Imperial Consort Tamara's Counsel-(Lea)- can be seen just two steps behind and by her master's left side as she is in a simple but breath-taking blue robe with simple yet luxurious jewelleries, light make up and a slightly lowered posture that shows her utter submission to her master. Her breath comes steady and noiseless and although always looking forward, she some how gives the illusion of seeing it all and more.

     Standing just one step behind her mother, we see True Imperial Princess Seflim who is currently clothed in an exquisite sliver robe that's neither a battle nor a casual Royal attire. Life-like image of an Eclipse flood dragon are weaved into the fabrics of her robes with a story seemingly weaved with them. Her blue eyes were as sharp yet calm as ever and unlike earth customs, she isn't trapped in a gown but rather a set of trousers that comes in a style that puts the Royal symbolism behind gowns to utter shame!. Her boots were pale white but with designs of gold and a lace of royal copper.

     Seflim face is completely calm and unlike her mother's heavy braids, her blue hair was packed into a heavy ponytail while using nothing but a elegantly crafted metal gold band.

     Every details in their dressing choice is a coded message to those who can read them as they are about to arrive at one of their compulsory visit as far as their journey through the Coastal Clan is concerned.

     The place they were visiting is of course one of the many powerhouses under the wings of the Coastal territory. They are a massive and influential great Clan that's mostly independent and they are known to have a gift that's worth more than fortunes as well as a rich history that's worth Imperial attention.

     Thinking of all the little and big thing she have learnt about this 'Clan', Seflim can immediately realise how important of a piece they would be in the future 'game of thrones' but the question now is 'Would this piece be for her or against her?'.

     Outside, onlookers observed as the Flying Crystal Dragon-horses did a sharp dive Down with their smooth crystal bodies becoming more scale like as they quickly closes in on the ground. A dusty Gold cloud begins to rush out of the Carriages sleek bodies as landing becomes imminent.

     Strong and Imposing Imperial guards with proud wine Cape and cold Chocolate armours seemed to be magically ejected out of every Carriages with the outlines of their chests giving a magical glow of fiery red and absolutely nothing behind their helmets gap expect a shade of dreadful darkness. An intimidating polearm make of matt-black metal rests in their hands or rather gauntlets with a timid purple glow stretching out like small veins from the centre of the Pole Arm's head.

*(A polearm is a spear like weapon but a little longer. It has a head and a staff just like a spear but the head of a pole arm isn't mostly designed for throwing as it is much bigger, heavier, longer and sometimes in a completely custom shapes).

     With their capes shaking the air and flapping behind them like fiery thunder, these cold sets of knights flew by the sides of the rapidly descending formation of Carriages with their well earned titles echoing in every onlookers mind.

     RADIANT DARK KNIGHTS..

     The elite defenders of the Ruling Imperials!.

These knights have sworn their lives to the Imperial family and they are known well for their many outstanding feats with upholding their vows. Onlookers couldn't help but tremble in both fear and excitement as their minds comprehended the significance of that dark armour and wine Cape.

     The ground drew closer and the harsh strikes of the Crystal Dragon-horses hooves against the multi-colour plates of Crystals they create began to echo through the air and grounds then finally, the horses skilfully stops their devastating momentum as they turned then balanced in the air just a few feet above the ground. The dusty gold clouds rushing past the Carriages slowly fades to reveal the full beauty of the Imperial Carriages as well as the Imperial flags above each Carriages that flaps boldly with Authority over the lands.

     The Radiant Dark Knights touched down first while preserving a tight formation around the Carriages with their body straight and their weapon by their side and pointing to the sky.

     Slowly, the Carriages floats to the ground before making contact with a small pulse of unknown purpose going into the earth.

     For one of the Imperial Carriages, a sets of Imperial knights in Dull red robes and royal blue capes that carry the symbol of the Imperial Household opens the double doors as Majestically yet traditionally dressed female escorts wearing neat, long and heavy white robes slowly steps out in rows of two. These calm and spotless escorts all come with lustered black hair braided neatly into a style of neat traditional Asian. Similar clothes, bearings, styles and pace made the escorts all look alike as the only jewellery they has on were two golden sticks(Pegs) used in holding their heavy braids together.

     The escorts all walked slowly yet elegantly out of their Carriage with their arms clasped together and in front of their waists and their body bowed slightly forward.

     Another Carriage is then opened up as two men with neat white beards and hair steps out while wearing fitted purple Imperial Scholar robes and staying side-by-side as the approaching twelve escorts(Two per row) stops walking just five steps behind them.

     Tension grows due to the organised and very Majestic aura from everything that's simultaneously happening and this made every on-looker near or far to tremble from the might, luxury and uniformness of the Imperials.

     Finally, a Knight draped completely in a lustrous golden armour with elaborate light patterns and a golden lion-like helmet to fit steps out with his helmet's Ruby red eyes chilling the souls of all. A heavy blue cape flaps thunderously as he/she moves with the Imperial symbol loyally on his/her cape and to top-up the already suffocating appearance, a massive aura of doom remains constant in his posture and steps as he seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

     GOLD RADIANT KNIGHT!!!.

     A symbol of destructive terror and ultimate respect that's said to be able to destroy a Calvary of Rank Five Army!, the faceless figures known to be able to battle with terrifying elemental domains as masters of destruction and protection only second to the Saints!.

     The atmosphere seemed to change under the presence of this 'metal monster' and then he walks up then opens the third and most luxurious and Imposing carriage that has been pulled by powerful Rank Five Crystal Dragon-horses.

     Nobody comes out of the darkness of the opened door as the Gold Radiant Knight humbly takes a step back before placing a knee to the ground as he enters a completely submissive posture.

     *GROOM!*.. As soon as the Knight's knee hits the floor, a small shock wave goes into ground with light tremors that lightly shakes buildings kilometers away and then,.. a leg steps out of the dark of the Carriage and into the dazzling sunlight with an aura and beauty that made all eyes seem unworthy!.
