dawn of shadows

Chapter two

The sun rises higher into the sky as the day goes by. It shines brightly onto a kingdom. This kingdom started at the base of a mountain and went up high into the clouds. And at the peak of the mountain was the castle. This was Suisei city. The biggest city to ever exist, a place where several hundred thousand people live. But as beautiful as a sight it is, the story continues on the inside of the castle.
  Sire, we have received urgent news, the king's attendant spoke to him. What is it, Touma, the king asks in concern. The king had no hair on his head or face. His eyes were green and he wore a Kimono of the same color. Touma, the king's attendant, was an older man. He had a long white beard and white hair that was tied into a wolf's tail. His eyes were blue and he wore a purple kimono with a star pattern. The prisoner was taken from our fortress. The king was shocked by this. That boy was meant to be kept secret, hardly anyone knew of his existence, the king spoke. Who could have done this? Sire, it was the seven shadows. Our scout Tamaki confirmed it with his own eyes. Do you think they know about… no, the king interrupted. That boy is a unique case. He is the only human to have been born with red eyes and not awakened. They are interested in him for that reason. They could not know what you are referring to. But this is bad in any case. We must retrieve him at any cost. Touma, you must contact the sisters of light. They are our only hope of getting him back. Yes sire, it will be done.
  The sky is beginning to grow dark as the sun has nearly set. The two cloaked figures are carrying Kou and Itami to their base. One is asleep because he has not done anything in such a long time. He is exhausted, and the other is asleep because she took a drug to give her mist a sleeping effect. Their base is only a few hundred yards in front of them. It was a small village built into the center of a valley. While that description may seem small make no mistake this village was massive. It was one of the only places people of shadow blood had to call home. It was called Saigo. It was their destination.
