In the year 2000 there was a prophecy. It said that in 8 more years all the technology and half the population will be wiped out. As it continues it speaks of the Yairi mark, it's said that whoever processes this mark will hold untold power, but if it ever should fall sway to the darkness the world will fall to oblivion.
In the land of Tyrmia there are mountains to the north, rivers to the east, and deserts to the west. There are 3 kingdoms in Tyrmia, Luffia of the east,Dark Kingdom Fairen to the north, and Varse to the west. Each kingdom is ruled by a king or queen. However the King of fairen has been blinded by darkness and is trying to take over Tyrmia with his dark knights.
3008. 1,000 years after the Great Decline. Our story begins in the small port town of Mydrid. There lives six heros. Larsa, he may be a goof but he does know how to use magic. Kalm, even at a young age he has mastered the art of a sword, however he has been out of town more than usual. Jade, she is 3 years older than the rest, she is good with a bow. Lyla,the local flower seller, she knows healing magic. Saya, she may be strong headed but she is a good leader. Wind, she is the holder of the Yairi mark and she is a little naive. She knows how to summon beasts to help fight.
"Wait up Larsa" I shouted.
"Well come on Wind you're going to get us left behind". Larsa whispered irritably.
"I'm sorry I'm not as fast as you are" I yelled
"Hey you two, hurry up back there" Kalm said. "We are almost back to town"
"Yes Kalm" we said in unison.
"I told you" Larsa smirked.
"I'm sorry" I whispered.
"Hey! None of that" Saya told me. By now we were back in town.
"Saya! I thought you were in Freywood'?
"The only reason I went to that town was because of their library"
"I thought that Freywood was just a huge forest"? asked Larsa.
"The town is hidden in case of attackers" Saya answered.
"Oh, that's cool" Larsa said.
"You are so weird Larsa" I joked.
"Hey Larsa, can you go help Kalm gather water"? Saya asked.
"Um.. sure see ya Wind" Larsa said.
"Bye" I told him.
"Wind, come in the tent I have something to tell you".
"Ok" so I followed her.
It was dark. Saya lit a candle.
"Wind while I was in Freywood I saw a book about the Yairi"
This peeked my interest. I pulled up my sleeve, the Yairi, it is both black and white it's like nothing I've seen before, it looks like a weird star. I turned my back to her, I didn't want to hear what she had to say.
"The book said.... Kalm"?
"Kalm what"? I turned around, i saw him standing there with a bloody sword, then I saw Saya she wasn't breathing he killed! Why?!
"Kalm why would you do this"? I screamed.
"........."
"Answer me"! by know I was screaming in his face.
"It had to be done"
"No,no it didn't! Saya no"
"Wind please understand"
"No, I don't want to understand, don't touch me"! I ran out.
Fire. Burning everywhere. People screaming. I'm crying. Someone please end this nightmare.
"Hurry up we'll hold them off" Lyla assured some towns people.
"I hope we can" Jade said.
"Don't worry I'm sure Saya and Wind will come help us" Larsa said.
Why is King leo attacking our town?
"No she can't come".
"Huh? What do you mean!"
"She's dead" I said.
"Wha-How-Who?" he stuttered.
"It was Kalm" I chocked on the words.
"So the rumors are true" said Lyla. "They said he joined up with Leo"
"I guess they are" I said.
The Knights left, we put out the fires, with nowhere to go we decided to go to the Kingdom of Luffia. However the only way to get there was through the Resting Glade. It is said the dead can speak to you there. Saya please be there
We made good time we were there in 3 days. We were halfway through the Glade when we heard a voice.
"Everyone" We looked around but saw nothing.
"In 2 weeks King Leo will try and attack Luffia, Wind you are destained to defeat him, you must" the voice faded.
"Wait, don't go, Saya please." I shouted
5 days later we arrived in Luffia.
"So what's the plan"? asked Larsa
"We have to talk to Queen Garnet" said Lyla.
"Do you think she'll listen"? I asked.
"Let us hope" Jade said.
We requested an audience with her grace with urgent news.
"So King Leo plans to attack my Kingdom"?
"Yes your grace. However we may be able to stop him" we said.
"How"?
"We possesses the Yairi" I told her then I showed her.
"So it is more than just myth, well I can provide you with some supplies and solders but no more, we are still suffering from his doing.
"Yes your grace".
"Now, if you excuse me I must be going".
1,000 highly skilled men. A small army. Though it may not be enough to take down Leo. We have food for 3 weeks it should be plenty, however we do have to cross over the Mari Mountains.
Time to end this.
It is the day before the attack. We lost 100 men on the way here but the strong survived.
"Are you ready Wind"? asked Larsa.
"Larsa you worry to much" I said playfully.
Then he got serious on me.
"You don't have to do this you know".
"This is my destiny, I have to do this".
"But you'll be killed" he sounded so sad.
"Larsa, tell me this, I wasn't born in Mydrid was I"?
"No"
"Then I must do this, I have to know my past" I told him.
"But you'll die"! now he was crying.
"Larsa don't worry I'll come back to you I promise" now I'm hugging him.
"Promise"?
"I promise" and I kept it too.
"So here is how it'll work, Jade you lead the archers. Lyla you and the white mages stay in the back, Larsa you and the black mages stay in the middle, I'll be in the front with swordsmen ". I told them.
"No Wind you stay in the back" Jade said.
"But" I knew it was no use arguing.
We attacked at dawn. It was a surprise attack. That was before you saw his castle.
"This might be a problem" I said while looking at the 10 story castle.
"Don't worry we can do it" Larsa encouraged.
It was bloody battle, by the time we got to the 9th story we had already lost 500 men. We entered a large chamber, not a soul in site. I spoke first.
"Somethings wrong here".
"Wind look out". Before I could see what I was looking out for I was tackled by larsa. Then I saw him, a lone archer, he was aiming for me. Jade took care of him.
"Thanks Larsa I owe you one".
No answer.
"Larsa"! I saw that he was not moving, then blood.
"Lyla, get over here" I screamed. We flipped him over. The arrow was between his shoulder blade, a minor wound.
"Don't worry I'll take care of him Wind" Lyla ensured. "He'll be ok"
When he finally came to he was a bit sore, but as soon as he got up I gave him a big hug.
"I'm so sorry" I cried.
"Wind I'm ok really" he said.
"Are you two ready? We are one room away if we stay here to long he might notice" Jade said.
"Right" I said.
We made quite an entry, I'm sure busting down your door would get your attention.
"So you finally made it" King Leo sneered. "I see you took out my dark knights"
"Yes, and we're here to stop you" I said.
"Hahahahah you, you're nothing but a little girl" he smirked.
"That's were you're wrong, she has the Yairi" Larsa added. He sat up.
"So the Yairi, interesting, to bad it's power will be mine"!
"No, I won't let you" Kalm shouted.
"Kalm you traitor"King Leo said.
"Traitor, ha, I was never on your side I gained your trust only to find out what you were planning" Kalm said.
"What about Saya, what was that"?! I shouted.
"I had to gain this fool King's trust" he said. "and besides it was an act".
"You always were a bit naive Wind". Saya said coming from the balcony.
"Saya" I said. Then I started to cry.. a little.
"Wind, end this use the Yairi" Saya said.
"But, I don't know how" I told her.
"Hahahaha, you possess the ultimate weapon and you don't know how to use
it" King Leo sneered.
"Don't listen to him Wind just before in yourself" Larsa.
"Ok I'll try it for you". I told him before I kissed him. I closed my eyes, then everything went black. I was told I started to glow, then I opened my eyes and they were blue. They said I killed him in one, and that they were scared.
When I came to everyone was crying.
"What's wrong"? I asked.
"Wind" everybody was so happy I was alive.
"I'm ok everybody really" then I smiled at Larsa.
It's been 3 years since then. With no ruler I was voted to become Queen of Fairen. At first I refused but while I was through some books, guess what I found? I was daughter of Marie, Leo's wife. It read that in a huge fire I had died, when actually I had been thrown into the river and ended up in Mydrid. So I really am the Queen. It's ok being Queen, but it's a big job. There have been no more wars, and I have made peace with the other Kingdoms. I do not rule alone though I have Larsa to help me. We had a daughter too. Her name is Hope, someday she will rule in my stead. She needs to know the truth. I have left documents for her when she comes to age. I just pray history will not repeat itself. I plan on meeting with the other rulers, hopefully we can become one great nation. We may even revert back to our technology. Who knows, the future has not been written yet. Everyday you change your story, make it a good one.
