Back to the Begining


Razil, 20 years ago



The sun rose up against the dark sea, turning it to a light blue color with its rays. Fisherman coming into port after an early morning fish. Some carrying more than 10. The market street began to awake from its sleep. Shop owners unlocked there doors and flipped the closed sign to open. Women from their houses grabbed a basket filled to the rim with dirty clothes. Children grumpling to wake up, well most of them, and go outside to play.
In a masion up on a hill, a lord awoke from his slumber. He was a slightly portly man with blonde hair cut to his ears, he was awake but his eyes did not open, dressed in a long night gown he rose up with the help of his hands. A servent came in with robes of red in his hands, "Lord Vingerhutt, I have your robes. Washed and pressed." the man said while bowing and putting his hands afront with the robe on them. "Thank you, please, I hate to make you do another task. But wake up that son of mine." Lord Vingerhutt said as he took the robes and went in a back room to get dressed.
The servent bowed and let himself out. He walked down hallways that were white titled with white pillars. Random pictures of the preivous lords on the walls. Each with the same charateristics, such of being all blonde. The servent then came to a white gold-lined door and knocked. "Sir Snowe? Are you awake?" he asked then he heard a grumble and let himself in. The servent noticed that Snowe was not in bed but in a chair with a book. Snowe looked very much like his father with blonde hair to the same length, unlike his father he was more masculent, and dressed still in the preivous clothes he worn yesturday, shoes and all. As the servent came closer, Snowe began to stur and awoke with his blueish-gray eyes slightly reddened from reading during the night. He rasied a hand and rubbed his sore eyes, "I'm awake Joesph, I was reading all night again." Snowe never liked calling his friend a 'servent' like his father. Being a lords son meant he had to learn things very quickly through his life. But he still called everyone who worked under the roof by their first name. Ironicly, he had their names memorized. Snowe arose and place the book down on the chair and went to his closet to get changed.
Joesph opened the curtants to fill the dark room with sun light. He then saw the name of the book more clearer, 'Lord's Marriage Rules',"*sigh* Your trying to find a loop in these rules again aren't you Snowe?" Joesph picked up the book and placed it back on the shelf with many other rule books. Snowe then came out dressed in a blue long-sleeved shirt, tan knee-high shorts, blue long socks that went under the shorts, and he bandaged up his feet. "I am, Joesph please help me with the armor?" Snowe said as he carried out armor of silver in both hands.
Joesph came next to Snowe and began to help him with the chest armor, "Joesph, your lucky you know that?" Snowe said as Joesph then started with the metal gloves, "How so, Snowe?" Joesph then grabbed the silver leg plates that he attacted to Snowe's shorts on the sides. "You can chose what you want to do in your life, reguardless of what your parents say." Snowe then turned to his desk and took hold of his father's blade and strapped it to the right of his side. "With parents on the brain, tell your mother not to push herself with the landury." Snowe said as he patted his friend on the shoulder and began to walk out the door, Joesph followed "Ok." was all he said.

In another building, more say a castle, many others began to awake as well. Some even getting dressed and going outside, wearing the same uniform of blue long sleeves, tan shorts, and the men wearing the socks not the women. They were all knights in training and the castle was called the Hall of Knights.
In one room, a young girl trainie was still waking herself up. She rose from her bed and stretched her arms up. Her hair was a light brown and slightly messy, she opened her eyes to have deep dark blue eyes, and dressed in a long short-sleeved night gown. She quickly got up from her bed and made it so fast if you blinked it would be done. She walked over to a night-stand with a bowl on it and poured in water from a tan pitcher. Splashing her face with the cold water, she put some of the water into her hair and got a comb to brush it out. Then she took a smaller brush, dipped it into the water and brushed her teeth with it. Next she went to a trunk and found her uniform for the day. With in seconds, was dressed in a blue long-sleeved shirt with a gray chest armor, gray armored gloves, tan knee-high shorts with gray plates on each side, and gray armored shoes with bandages for socks.
Smiling at how fast she was dressed she walked over to her mirror. The mirror was hanging on the wall next to her bed. On a small pillar conected with the bed was a red bandanna and on one end of the bandanna was a strange marking. The girl smiled again as she tied it around her forehead. She then folded her night gown into a basket, picked up the basket and walked out the door and shut it. She then bent down and placed the basket on the right side of her door and walked out the main door to the court yard.
"SAKURA!!!" a shout came from when the girl got out, just before she could react she was down on the ground with her friend sitting on her back. "Jewel...please...ow...get off!" Sakura managed to struggle out from under her friend, she then stood and brushed herself off. Jewel mearly stuck her tounge out, "That's what you get for sleeping in!" she spatted. Sakura lightly blushed and saw Paula behind Jewel with her hand on her face and shaking her head. "You and me both Paula. Oh boy, speaking of which, where's Tal and Kennth?" Paula shot her head up with those words, "Tal is with the patrol group through market and Kennth is on a partol ship right about right now."
Jewel then put her hands behind her head, "*sigh* Yeah, and us three are stuck with training today." her head went down. "Well its better than peeling fruit with Fungi." Sakura added, which indeed was true. All three sighed and walked to the training grows to begin their day of becoming a Knight of Gaian.
