My Lost Light

Chapter 1: A Fateful Encounter

I stood up on the hill, quietly humming to myself. I opened my eyes. I thought my eyes had deceived me. Could it be? No, it's not possible. Even so, I ran. I ran up to him, shouting his name. Despite, it not being him. My long hair blowing in the wind as what was later described as graceful.

After I shouted his name and grabbed his hand. The man looked back at me.

"Hm?" He looked confused. "Who are you?" He asked me.

"I'm-" I had started. "My name is Senshi Senritsu, a member- er-"

"Hm?" He was waiting for me to finish that sentence before saying something.

"Nothing. Sorry to bother you, I had just mistaken you for someone else." I had finished.

"Senshi...That name is familiar. Where have I heard it?" He started to talking to himself. Then he said his name. "He did work with someone of that name."

"Yeah, that's me." I said budding in on his thoughts.

"Ah- I'm his brother. So, I can see why you mistook me." He declared.

"Sorry to waste your time. I'll be off." I stated and began to walk away.

"Why'd you stop before saying you were a member of the agency?" He asked me. He's a smart one. What more could I expect.

"I kind of got "fired." I replied.

"You? My brother always told me you were the best. Kind of weird, don't you think?" He started with talking to himself then somewhat asking me.

"I guess so." I replied.

"Well, is there anything you plan on doing now?" He asked.

"Eh? Uh? I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. Why?" I responded.

"Well, I'm looking for someone to travel with, just to remember I don't really have anyone to travel with." He responded.

"Mm." I slightly nodded my head. Kind of waiting for him to say what has been holding his tongue.

"Do you maybe want to travel with me? You knew my brother better than I did. I want to know more about him. Along with, just what goes on at that agency." He finally spits out.

"Suspicions of the agency?" I lightly ask. "I barely know anything myself. I can try to help you though." I tell him.

"Does that mean you'll go with me?" He asks full of hope and overly excited.

"I guess there's nothing else for me to do." I respond. "But I do have to ask, as you haven't said it throughout this whole thing. What's your name?" I finish.

"Ah, sorry. My name is Kenji Kosuke." He responds. I got a good look at him as whether it was on purpose or not it looked like something you'd see in like a comic book. The main heroine introducing themselves for the first time. Kenji has short fluffy looking black hair. With bangs that cross in the middle. His eyes are a deep yet soothing black. His body was muscular yet slim in a way. He seems to be someone who always smiles. Someone so hopeful and full of life. One who hasn't been corrupted by the world.

"So, where are we going to go first?" I asked him.

"Eh?" He responds.

"Eh?" I respond back for whatever reason.

"You see, I didn't really think that far ahead. Is there anywhere you particularly need to go?" He asked me, hoping I would. It was his lucky day.

"I guess we could stop by Isdom." I responded.

A town east of Phoenix Claw. Mainly known for its schools and home of the most talented archers.

"Isdom?" He asks. "What do you need there?" He finished, asking completely out of pure curiosity.

"Yeah, I have a friend I want to visit there." I respond. My childhood best friend and famous archer.
