The Red Halo: Outset

Of to Draco

I want to make it clear, this story is still on hold until further clearer information comes out. This isn't a continuation.

The reasons behind this are still the same.

The reason I'm releasing this chapter is because I just graduated and I wanted to celebrate a bit. That and I didn't want this chapter to be collecting dust.

I want to make it clear that this chapter was finished before the whole Selen termination mess and everything else happened.

I know everything in this chapter has aged poorly, but all I ask from you guys to be mature while reading this.

Other than that, I hope that you can at least enjoy this chapter.

There Elira stood in her room by herself, staring at her mirror. Staring into her very eyes. Looking deep into herself, wondering to herself.

Elira: how did I fail to save my sister?

She asked her reflections, it showed no signs of emotions, just her plain face. She had remembered her conversations with her mother on the day before she and Selen were planning to leave for Ninku, as if it was yesterday.

Flashback

Elira stood in the throne room, in front of a 100 feet tall throne that was only meant for her mother. Her mother who sat upon it, still towering over Elira since she was 50 feet tall even when she was sitting down. She was covered by shadows, covering her face so no one else could see.

???: Elira sweety, my first child. Consider yourself lucky that I even consider you to even join your sister on her travels even though she pesters me on going alone.

She said in her calm motherly voice. Despite that, Elira was intimidated by her.

Elira: It wasn't like I had much of a choice, you basically told me that I have to. But you know I can't say no to you.

She said nervously with a nervous smile, trying to play it off as a joke. Even though her mother isn't the joking type of person.

???: but you know it's for good reasons.

She to her, making Elira lose her nervous smile.

???: your sister is a wild card, a rowdy child. A child that wants to let out her wings to do whatever she wants. Even if it puts others at risk. You know that, right?

She asked Elira, causing her to be a bit more nervous. Not waiting to say something wrong.

Elira: Well I mean, yeah. She is still young. You know teengers, they can be rebellious.

She said nervously, looking at the ground avoiding contact with her mother.

???: well she'll have to grow out of it. As that behavior isn't acceptable for a royal, especially for the future of draco.

She raised her voice a bit louder, put Elira off the edge a bit out of fear from the slightest moment her mother getting angry.

Elira: Yes mother, I know.

She said in an obedient voice.

???: good, now get ready for your trip tomorrow and keep an close eye on your sister. We don't want anything bad happening to her, do I make myself clear.

She said in a more aggressive voice, which Elira nodded her head to.

???: good, now my darling. And remember this conversion.
