Prologue: The beginning

Many people have their own ideas on how the universe began and the planets came into alignment. Scientists have their theory, religious followers tell of their sides, and some people, never question the thought, but have their own ingenious theory. Even though there was never a definite answer, many people believed that the answer lies amidst their grasp, here in the present.

My name is Kotou Ling Tomasakii, and I have a very interesting story to tell you. Theories and myths mean nothing, when the answers to the past live inside you, fighting against the questions of the future. Since the very beginning, light and darkness existed, for shadows could not be cast without light. Good and evil had always been existent, and then began to branch off. It starts with the most famous question, “Who came first, the chicken or the egg?” The answer is undoubtedly the Chicken, or in this case, the creators of our beings.

~*~*~*~*

The Master of time and space, was a very intelligent man, though he was a very lonely man with endless time and space at his feet. He had looked all around him to see a black void of emptiness, and thought to entertain himself. Reaching both hands out, his violet aura began to circle around him, engulfing his body, then split itself into two. He would sacrifice his one harmonious life and being, to become the separated Yin and Yang. That would rule over the universe, dividing it in half between Ying and Yang, dark and light, good and evil. The violet energy tore apart, splitting exactly into half taking the opposite sides, now two different colors; red and blue.

With one final thrust of energy, he gave up his life, only to become two bodies of energy. Both auras began to take shape, first, was the blue. It split, directly down in the middle, taking the shape first was a male being. Long cerulean blue hair fell from his form, down to his back and silver bangs came down over his eyes. He had a semi muscular build, very cut and tone as a silver moon made itself right onto his chest. Both eyes were closed lightly, now, opening to greet life in front of him. Both eyes were sharp, and gold like a wild wolf’s eye; the man’s name was Tsuki, to be the god of the moon and the planets, the elemental god.

Next, was the second blue entity, which was already mid transformation. It was a beautiful female, made to look serene and gentle. She stood there, complete now, beautiful blue hair like the deepest of the sky. Her skin was soft and milky, stretching out her fingers and slowly, one by one, she opened her eyes to see Tsuki standing at her side. A connection between the two was made, since they were one to begin with, the true meaning of a soul mate. The woman had a golden star engraved on her chest, shining brightly as her deep violet eyes moved to see her body, amazed at what she had become. From her lower side, a little below her waist behind her, a black panther like tail sprouted out from her tail bone, she was no ordinary person, but with the power to shapeshift between forms. Her name was Hoshi, the goddess of all stars and magic from deep within the soul. Hoshi and Tsuki were the beings of light.

At the opposite side of the universe the two beings had already shifted and taken form. They were both very dark in their aura, and had a more sinister and black character. The woman stood upright, draped in red and black clothing, her nails were long and her lips tinted with a black hue as two small fangs protruded from them. Her eyes were blue, like piercing crystals and her long crimson hair was like blood, flowing down her back, waving about her. Her skin was sickly pale, and she was indeed, goddess-like herself, a queen even, of vampires, Amethyst.

The male stood beside his queen, his demonic aura spread evenly through his body, though the last bit burst into flames on his back, as he gave a blood curdling shriek as two black wings sprouted from his spine. His platinum hair rest just above his shoulders and his red eyes peered about him to see this empty solitude around him. This would be the perfect place to create his minions. The man stood there, in all his regal glory, this man was named Daercia.

At this time, there was no war between good and evil, There was no reason to attack the other side, who was indeed, a part of them. Even though the balance of good and evil were separated, it was never off…that is, until an event happened much later, that would begin the war that would last an eternity.

~*~*~*~

Centuries had passed, though it seemed like only months. At first, things were very slow as the four new entities had no idea how to settle in to their “new environment.” When time had passed, things began to settle in as there were now two different realms; The realm of light, which was known as Crystal Heaven, and the Demonic realm known as Deskarou. In these realms, were branching others into smaller categories, all under one rule of their Great lords Amethyst and Daercia for Deskarou, and Tsuki and Hoshi for Crystal Heaven.

(Crystal Heaven)

During the beginning of Crystal Heaven, many things began to take place and change. Hoshi’s Kingdom, which she reined with the stars, was flourishing. She had used her own tears, to give birth to the stars that filled the sky, billions upon billions of stars were born each day, and to a select million, she gave them life of a mortal, in appearance just like her. She had created one very large star, giving all of her power and might to create this star, in which she could give her people a place to live and flourish. This star, was soon to be known as the biggest star known, even greater than the sun; later, being named Kitana.

Tsuki on other hand had another idea. He would create many planets, turning another few million of the stars, in his likeness, to be the followers of his moon Kingdom. Even though Hoshi and Tsuki were together on this, they still had their separate ideas on what “their” people would look like and act like. As Hoshi did, Tsuki made his own kingdom for his people to live on, naming it Kaiyuushu.

Within time, everything was beginning to look up, very hopeful, as the first generation of people had shown promise. Hoshi and Tsuki were very happy with what they had done, and were even more pleased to announce another member to the ruling kingdom, their child Raika. (Ok, at this instant, because I don’t know much about Raika’s story, I am going to leave what happens to her blank, until I get what happens there.)

Both Hoshi and Tsuki knew that this beginning was going to be a great start to their advantage.


(Deskarou)

Deskarou was rising with all sorts of demons, vampires of the like and many more. Though a good handful of them lived their lives with torture and were gruesome, the majority lived their lives peacefully amongst eachother. Amethyst and Daercia were loved and worshiped by their followers…and at about the same time as the birth of Raika, Amythest had given birth to Kitana, the next leader of the vampire realm. Kitana was to rule over all the vampires in Deskarou, both Amethyst and Daercia were going to have to expand their rule.

~*~*~* The contested Territory~*~*~*
This was going to become a problem now. Both realms shared an equal amount of space, though there was now….a contested area, where both realms had wanted a part of. Everything used to be split down, black and white, but this gray area was now looking more valuable to both sides. Amethyst had an idea, she was going to come up with a way, to let Hoshi and Tsuki give them a portion of the area, in exchange for whatever she wanted, anything besides the area they already had. Thinking about this, she decided to go along with the plan, meeting Hoshi at the borderline.

“I would like to set an agreement with you Hoshi, let my demon realm rule a portion of the grey area, and you will be granted anything you want, anything except what we already own land wise.” Hoshi, having known that Amethyst had a daughter, thought about this decision very well. Since Raika was gone, Hoshi made the bargain with Amethyst, holding out her arms.

“Make your payment to me now, I will allow you a portion of the contested area, only if you give me your first child.” Daercia was strictly against it, no sliver of a piece of contested area was worth losing his child over. Giving a nod to Hoshi, Amethyst agreed to the contracted deal, handing Kitana over. As Hoshi walked away, a broad smile grew on Amethyst’s face.

“Do not worry my love, for this is a victory for us. Once we move into our extended region, we will fight to take back Kitana. I agreed that she could have her, I never said how long.” And with a shrilled laugh, The two had purged forth the move on.

Tsuki looked to Hoshi, bringing the small child in her arms. He could not believe what she had done. The child was tainted, black at the heart, and a goddess of vampires; what would they possibly do with her?

“Hoshi, you have gone off the deep end this time. I understand you wanting the child since we lost Raika, but this is a demon! I cannot and will not except this nonsense! You even agreed to them the area we are both fighting for!” Hoshi still had a gentle smile on her face, holding onto Kitana.

“You fail to see the importance of my decision. She may be vampire, she may be blackened at the heart, but I can purify her. I will influence her with the golden star, so her tainted heart will be no more, and her vampire genes, forever will be hidden.” Placing a finger on Kitana’s forehead, a blue aura intertwined itself within her, dominating the red, becoming a slight violet and resided within her. Kitana opened her silver eyes, looking into the same eyes of Hoshi, knowing this is where she belonged. “There, now, part two of the plan, to banish them into their realm for all eternity before they get a chance to settle in.

~*~*~*~*~

And that was the plans of both realms, to fight over the grey area of the most wanted area, greed and power filled both of them; and so…a battle was to begin.

Centuries passed since that night, and all was quiet, the silence before the storm was unnerving as the war had begun, without so much as a single blow thrown. Kitana was a young woman now, with both her parents Tsuki and Hoshi at her side, she feared nothing, and never questioned about her past. Kitana had met a young Knight, from the other side of their ruling planet in which she got to name after herself. She married the Knight, and both started a kingdom together, and everything seemed perfect.

Hoshi and Tsuki both knew… the time was coming, and deep down, they knew the answers to their undying questions, having seen it repeatedly in a dream. The time was to come where Amethyst and Daercia were to come into power. The battle had raged on, and it was time, for the final bout. (I’m not going to go into detail about the fight just yet, that’s when I actually rewrite the story T_T)

The battle was one fought with victory, and defeat. Hoshi and Tsuki lie dying slowly as Amethyst and Daercia knew this was a victory for them. Though it is said that a god and goddess are immortal, their mortality draws when killed, by another god or goddess. As Kitana rush to her dying parents, she realizes at this very moment, of what she must do. She had used her specially given talents, to send her biological parents back into their own realm, sealed off for all eternity, putting a seal of magic to hold them. Hoshi gave her dying words to Kitana, before fading away into light bits of energy, dispersing into the air above, along with her beloved and betrothed Tsuki. This was not going to be the last of either of them, for Hoshi had planned on becoming reincarnated, to the child that Kitana was to bear.

Tsuki however, had two sides of his personality. He was the quiet gentle knight, and the brave and withdrawn warrior, which he was reincarnated, into both.

Much time passed since then, and Kitana had already bore her daughter Kotou, who held the spirit of Hoshi, though even at this time, Kotou was born, with the vampire blood lineage within her, the vampire goddess spirit, along with the inborn spirit of the sleeping Hoshi, who would not wake till her realization of her full potential as a star goddess. At the same time, Amethyst had raised her daughter Chini, who was not much younger than Kitana to come to power and attack her sister, and regain what rightfully belongs to them.

Darius was a young knight, chosen by Kojiro to be the future husband of his daughter, Kotou, and to protect her and be her faithful guardian. Darius was only 15 when he was given that duty, and pledged to do so with all of his life, since the death of his family by vampires. Darius was the reincarnation of Tsuki’s more gentle side.

Toko, the prince of Kaiyushuu had come to learn what it was to be a great warrior, and yet, he always seemed to hold back a lot of his feelings. He was the reincarnation of Tsuki’s stronger more warrior spirit, and had plans of his own.

At this time, trouble stirred amidst Crystal Heaven as Kaiyushuu and Kitana began to split apart, becoming rivals against eachother. The people of Kaiyushuu blamed Kitana for the death of their great leaders Tsuki and Hoshi, and there for, became violent and even declaired war on them. While this was happening, an entire group of vampires, had wanted to live a normal life, and had come to Kitana for blessings. Kitana could try to heal them, as best she could, but there were so many, that doing it one by one would seem futile. With a new initiative, she gathered the millions who wanted to change, and began a full summoned heal, which would purify them; however, Kitana was not strong enough for the job. The demons were only abled to be healed halfway, leaving them neither white, nor black, but grey themselves. These, were the mortals that became the humans, and were sent to live in the area which was for so long, becoming disputed.

While Amethyst fully began to observe what was going on, she realized, this would be the true fall of Kitana. With Kaiyushuu at her throat, and the threat of her biological family surpassing the seal, Kitana had little hope for her kingdom and Kotou’s life.

Amethyst had sent Chini, the only one at the time who could break through the seal, and had found, this would be the absolute perfect opportunity to get her ultimate revenge on her older sister. Seeing as this was going to be an end to all hope, Kitana, gave all of her life, sending Kotou, Toko, and the others she was close to, back, with the humans, to forget all life they ever knew here and start a life of their own in peace. The effects worked, except, one person had not forgotten about what happened, and that was Darius… he vowed to eternally keep his promise to the princess.

Kitana fought to her death, though it was short, and came quickly, she said one last goodbye to the others, sending them to their new lives, looking to her Kojiro, who lay beside her, whispering into his ear, her last breathed words, “I regret the time I have rejected with our daughter. If only I could have spent just a little more time with her.” Kitana shed her tears, wishing she could have taken back time, remembering the lonely confused look in her daughter’s eyes…wanting to know answers that not even she could answer.

The story takes place in the present, within the contested Territory battle grounds known as the Earth Realm, or “Mortal” Realm. The battle for the territory still rages on, and to find out the answers…that long hide in an unknown past, leaving forth an even more hazy future.
