CHAPTER 1: YOUNG ONE

In the dept's of the enchanted forest hidden away from prying eyes, a girl with short black hair, piercing brown eyes that shimmer with an air of curiosity,warm sun kissed quente hue skin tone and gravitating with comfortable clothing for combat (sleek and stylish black leather jacket with skinny jeans and combat boots)she focus on what's Infront of her.

The Story Begins

Starring into the dark abyss of the forest in front of her, she wonders if she should take a step forward.

She slowly takes a deep breath in and out but as she decide to go in,she hears a loud voice calling her name.

"Lily!!! Where are you ungrateful child?!

Hearing that Lily gets enraged, she turns around slowly and dashes to where the voice came from.

As she is running downhill towards where the voice came from, she stumbles on a rock and begin's to fall on the ground and starts to roll down the hill.

She ends up reaching a flat ground with a broken nose, fractured skull and a bloody forehead.

The person who called Lily opens the door of her house to let air enter the house. But she is shocked seeing Lily's body covered in  blood.

She waste no time in thinking and dashes towards Lily's bloody body.

From the posture of her running the woman looks like a middle aged obese female. She finally reaches Lily.

She is shocked seeing Lily's body up close, with how the body is badly hurt and losing lots of blood, she didn't hesitate to pick up the body and go inside her house without making a rucus like most other women in the village.

She quickly puts Lily down on the bed and undress her to clean and heal the wounds.

A few hours later

"Where am I?" Lily says (With her eyes a bit blur)

"You know, you are going to give me a heart attack with a stunt like that."

Lily looks to where the voice is coming from, to her surprise a big smile shows on her face as she stands up to hug the woman who helped her but ends up fracturing her spine.

"Aunty Futa,long time no see." Lily says

"Ya,ya , you have been living in the mountains uphill lately." Aunty Futa replies.

"By any chance were you the one who called me ungrateful?" Lily asks with a suspicious look.

Aunty Futa coughs and looks away to avoid the eyes of Lily. Five seconds goes by with the house silent and with a murderous aura inside it.

Aunty Futa takes a deep breath, she turns around and looks at Lily to try and change the topic.

"So what have you been doing in the mountains?"she ask.

Lily stands up and stretches her body saying...

"I have been trying to understand the heart of the forest."

"I can't believe... you still trust such a made up prophecy." Aunty Futa replies with a furious face.

"To you it might sound like make believe, but you have to remember that the outside world is covered in darkness."

"And who are you to stop that darkness from covering it whole?"

"Just a fifteen year old girl who seeks adventure" Lily replies.

"Aunty Futa... I know, my parents made you pledge to a promise you didn't wish to fulfill... but please break that promise today,for me!!!"

Aunty Futa looks at Lily with her eyes shimmering with regret as she raise from her seat leaving the house in silent anticipation with every step.

As the door closes Lily suddenly falls to the ground with her back and a joyful smile on her face.

Three days went by as Lily stayed at Aunty Futa's house to recover from her injuries she succumbed from falling down from the hill.

"Aunty (waking up from the bed) I think it's time to go now."

Aunty Futa gives Lily a lunchbox without saying a word.

Lily reaches out her hand, grasping the handle of the Lunchbox. She feels the weight of anguish on the handle as she tightens her grip.

With a determined look in her eyes, she takes a step forward, her feet padding softly against the floor. The lunchbox swinging heavily by her side.

As she approaches the door she pauses, turning her face slowly to Aunty Futa. A grateful smile spreads across her face. As the weight of the lunchbox and silence of the house disappears.

With a final nod, Lily turns back towards the door, her steps growing more confident.

(The door closing)"You ungrateful child"(falling down to her kness)"Let that smile of yours destroy the darkness that is covering the outside world"(tears dropping from her eyes, remembering the days Lily was still a child)

With a joyful smile on her face, confident that Aunty Futa's silence was her way of trusting and believing in her as she runs towards the hill.

Getting closer to her destination, she pauses in her pursuit and takes a moment to breath.

Lily then brings her upper body down and lunges forward on top of the hill with a elegant motion.

"After nine long years... I can now take a step into the darkness."(Body and mind brimming with confidence)

With no thought of turning back Lily dashes straight inside the dark abyss of the forest, suddenly a rush of wind pushes Lily downward to the ground with an unstable pressure making Lily create destruction onto the ground.

Skin tearing off, nose blocked, ears ringing and vision slowly fading. All the four sense's simultaneously stop functioning due to the winds unstable pressure, destroying each nerve point connected to them.

With no way of escaping, the pressure of the wind ultimately destroy's Lily's body leaving her blood spilling everywhere.

"Where am I?"(Confused and rattled)

A dungeon,a underground or perhaps a hidden chamber within a castle or ancient ruins. All this thoughts cross Lily's mind make her question each one of them, seeing that they're plenty of gold, silver and bronze coins that can keep a person fed for centuries, weapons, armors which seem powerful and skeletons which look like they belong to different types of species that have been here long ago.

But what is standing out the most in her eyes are the statues that are in front of her, particularly the female one that is holding a green stone above her head.

"You finally awake... Young One."(With each step she takes she can make a swarm of men drool beneath her feat, wearing an beautiful styled green dress she approaches)

"How does dying feel?... Young One"

"What?"(Lily shocked)

"What long slik white hair... Young One"

Lily wonders what the woman in front of her is talking about as she tries to calm her mind from overthinking.

She takes a deep breath and says...

"Who are you?"(Confidently)

"Curious?(Pauses) For now just call me the guardian of Light... Young One"

"Who are you?"

(Smiles)"My chamber... Young One"

"Who does this body belong to?"

(Shocked and delays her answer for a few seconds)"Let's just say a warrior... Young One"

With more questions she has on her mind, Lily felt contempt with the answers. Realizing how exhausted the body she is currently in is.

Her eyes begin to shut away the light. She then collapses on the ground with her back ,and a joyful smile forming across her face.

The woman in green looks at the state Lily is in and begin's to laugh historically.
