The Darkening Light

The Council Of Light

Chapter 1, The Council Of Light

15th of the 5th sun, 1012th revolution.

Galei Skyborn.

Only one more left. I have searched so hard ,for so long to find them and now only one remained.

His name, Sliver Iceborn. As the name states, he was a mage of ice.

I'm Galei Skyborn. A purple-eyed mage in her 19th revolution. I have dark hair and love to dress in black. Levitation is my speciality with the occasional visions of the future. Well thats what started everything isn't it? A vision from the future telling me that the very existence of magic depended on bringing the chosen five together.

"Slow down kid, you're giving us oldies a hard time!" screamed out Leitner Sparkstone,followed by his own laughter. Leitner had blonde hair, was in his 25th revolution and mastered yellow lightning.Sparkstone was a hard clan to grow up in, and him turning out to be so light hearted was ,well quite surprising. He could transform himself into lightning at will yet he complained about how fast I was going.

He was followed by the married couple, Sir Decan Stronghold and Tredesta Earthbound. They were the unofficial parents of our dysfunctional family. Sir Decan is our leader, keeping a cool head in tough situations eventhough he is brown-haired knight who is undoubtedly the strongest man on this planet. The strongest in his clan, Stronghold, who are known for their inhuman strength, he was cast out due to his love for his lovely wife Tredesta. She was in her late 20's with beautiful brown hair and the most amazing green eyes. The earthbound were known for their ability to control inanimate objects, especially plants.

Finally I had reached my destination. A drama theatre. Sliver apparently loved theatre and I knew it the moment I saw him. His white hair, perfectly combed and those deep blue eyes, they mesmerized me. I froze. Moving a muscle, or taking my eyes off him seemed impossible. Leitner, seeing my desperate state, called him out.

Outside, with me still as red as a bloodberry on harvest day, Sir Decan spoke to Sliver.

Sir Decan :- Sliver, you have been  chosen by the prophecy. In a time of dire need, when darkness endangers the world in the near future, we must fight it. We are The Council Of Light.

Sliver did not utter a word.

Leitner :- Look freezeboy,

Sliver :- Sliver.

Leitner :- Whatever. It's as simple as this. You either join us or the world ends as we know it. Well that's what our little prophet says anyway.

Leitner pointed at me. Sliver slightly looked up at me and his eyes widened. At that moment I would have collapsed if it wasn't for Tredesta. She held my shoulders and just smiled.

A million thoughts ran through my head. Would he join us? Would this be the end? Did he find me creepy? Would the world end because I was too creepy??

Sir Decan explained further.

He said that every one of us had a specific role to play at the right time and even one person missing would mean the end of magic as we know it. Anymore details could not be discussed in public. Sir Decan gave him three days time to think.

Sliver,then slowly looks at me, then at Sir Decan and says, "I'll join you."

After long last, it was over. Revolutions of searching had finally come to an end. The Council Of Light was complete. But then again, this was just the beginning.
