Dancer in the Dark

Chapter 0: Prologue

"What a day." Thought Suisei as she lay down on a couch after finishing her concert.

"I'm exhausted-" Said a tired Suisei as she placed her arm over her eyes.

"Maybe I should take a na-" Thought Suisei as she instantly fell asleep on the couch.

~~~~~

"What's that smell?" Wondered Suisei as she was hit with a grassy aroma.

Suisei opened her eyes and spotted a clear blue sky. She moved her arms and felt blades of grass caressing them. She was just inside her dressing room not too long ago but now she was suddenly laying in a grassy field. She stared at the vibrant blue sky for a few seconds before deciding on finally standing up. She patted herself off and then decided to look around the field. She spotted an unfamiliar landscape but just passed it off as a dream. Then suddenly the growls of a pack of silver wolves became louder and louder as they inched closer toward Suisei.

"Watch out!" Shouted a girl from atop the hill in front of Suisei.

Suisei turned around and spotted three wolves as they attempted to pounce on Suisei. Fear soon consumed her eyes as she froze in place.

"Tracking Arrow!" Yelled the girl as she released a single arrow from her bow.

The singular arrow penetrated the three wolves at once. Each wolf became several thousand small blue particles as they started to fade from existence. The rest of the pack saw their comrades get wiped out in a single shot and decided to retreat.

"Are you alright?" Asked the archer with long dark yellow hair as she slid down the hill.

"Y-yeah- what were those things?-" Replied a confused and frightened Suisei.

"You're not from here, are you? Those dire wolves are pretty common around these fields. There's no way you haven't spotted one before if you're a local."  Replied the girl.

"I'm sorry for asking but where exactly am I?" Asked Suisei as she checks her surroundings.

"Hmmm weird... she might be a spy from the Demon King's Domain. Better keep my eyes peeled." Thought the girl, cautiously.

"Well, you're in the Kingdom of Luthenia. What exactly brought you here to the Great Southern Plains?" Replied the girl.

"I don't know... I was taking a nap then I suddenly woke up here." Said Suisei as she continues to observe her surroundings.

"Yeah, something is definitely sketchy about her. Maybe I can use my Analysis Eye on her." Thought the girl.

"Analysis denied." Replied a voice.

"Ugh try again." Thought the girl.

"Analysis denied." Replied the voice.

"Yeah, she's without a doubt a spy. Only spies and assassins carry around the artifact that stops my Analysis Eye skill." Thought the girl.

"Oh is that so? Where are you from?" Asked the girl.

"Japan." Replied Suisei.

"Huh? I've never heard of a country named Japan before." Thought the girl with confusion.

"Where exactly is this Japan place?" Asked the girl.

"Uhhh it's an East Asian island country off the coast of Korea." Replied Suisei.

"Hmmm... Asia? Korea? Now that I think about it... her clothes are weird. I've never seen them worn in any country. Maybe she isn't a spy... I'll keep my guard up just in case." Thought the girl, perplexed.
