Prologue

Chapter 1

Aeon Ryrith sat on the edge of his bed, his thumb nail in his mouth, making mental notes and plans that he would use later on. He had his notebook out and quickly sketched a bird he saw the day before and wondered if he could come across it again later. He set his his book down on the table next to the candle and sat up from his bed to peek outside the window. There was Enya waiting outside the door, with her eyebrows brought together and her lips held in a tight line. Aeon sighed and left his room without closing the door, knowing that he'd be back soon afterwards.

He opened his door and half expected to hear get a violent reaction from her. "That took you forever" Enya said, Enya and Aeon have been best friends as long as he can remember, they met at the market when his sister had brought him there the first time to buy some fish. He thought Enya was a boy until she turned twelve summers old, her looks started kicking in. She had pale skin and auburn hair with a pair deep green eyes, traits that weren't common around Edeiwiel. She was what you would call gamine, she cut her hair shorter than his, and she rarely dressed like a girlie, always wore a caledon colored waistcoat with grey breeches, and sometimes even a hunter green frock coat. Her family color is Green, and Aeon's is blue. Edeiwiel has this thing about colors that he wondered about, but he knew that you would get in big trouble with the bloodybacks if you wore white, black, or purple. He knew that those were the royal colors, and it's considered impersonation if you dress in the wrong color. Aeon didn't like the system, he thought it was extremely stupid, like who would put so much effort into keeping colors with bloodlines? Speaking of bloodybacks, they're the guards all over Ediewiel. They serve the king and wear these bright red frock coats that children often made fun of. It sure looked odd, a market filled with different shades of green, yellow, blue, and there's these bright red coats on every corner.

Okay. Right back to Enya. Recently, he's been feeling nervous when she's around. He's been looking at her a lot, taking notes of the little things she does, like when she gets nervous she taps a rhythm to "little angels", a nursery rhyme that every one knows in all of Herindra. He'd like to take her out sometime, but he fears it would ruin their friendship if it goes wrong. He couldn't risk losing one of his only friends, and she's the only person he has a particular interest in. "Wanna let me in Aeon?" Enya said, leaning on one hip with arms crossed against her stomach. He then realized that he was standing in the way of the door. Embarrassed, he quickly sidestepped and let her in.

"Sorry, do you want some bread?" He asked, trying to start up a simple conversation. "No thanks, I ate on the way here. I met your mother at the market and she told me to give you this." She opened her bag and took out a wooden case and handed it to him. He opened the case gingerly, as it was made of fine dark wood from up North, he wouldn't want to damage it. His face lit up in a wide smile as he saw the contents of the case. It was filled with different kinds of pens and ink in different colors. He let out a loud whoop that made Enya look at him like he was a madman. "What's in the box?" She asked. "Pens and ink, I wonder what it cost mum to but this for me." He answered as quickly as she asked it, a little too giddy than his usual state.

"Let's go up, you could go ahead, I'll make some tea." He offered, but she took his hand and led him up stairs.

They sat on the bed and Aeon closed the door and locked it.

Chapter 2

"Why'd you lock the door?"

"Oh, whoops. Sorry, force of habit"

Aeon walked back to the door and unlocked it.

To all the people reading this :

I don't have that much time to write this, and I'll probably continue this when I have free time, when I'm not drawing. Since people probably aren't reading this, I was watching Sherlock once on my cp and my parents were somewhere behind me, and a porn site ad came up (those full site ones with the background filled with porn gifs). Lovely, isn't it?
