Part 3: The Glitch

       "15 keys of blessing and curses will be bestowed to you. A girl of bright linen shall fulfill the promise. You voice shall guide her on her journey in gathering these keys of goals and futures."

There was once a land of peace and prosperity. "Lithilea", it's fragrance of roses and carnations domained and across every village and in every home. No servants,no slaves nor pawns. It was a land of joy and amusement and the skies above were covered with the bright shine of the sun.

Above all was a castle of stone and steel. It was the tallest that showered the country. The king and queen of seraphic and pristine lived in the castle with joy and pleasure.Everyone respected them with admiration for their humble hearts to help those in need.

The king and queen had a child. The princess was indeed very humble.She was meek and unique. Smart and blessed with talents that others may not have. She lived in the land of Lithilea blissfully among everyone.

On her 15th birthday she was given a gift. A gift of 15 keys made of gems and stones. These keys were enclosed with memories and ambitions. They were the peak of every happiness and sorrows.The princess was told to take good care of these fine precious keys. She kept it in a wooden chest. Never to opened, Not yet. These keys hold her life and others too. It was the "Sword of heart" of their deepest treasures.

One night, as everyone slept in peace. A fire burst out in the village by the other land. "Ulfbertine"--- it was the land of swords. It's race was known for it's conquering spirit. It has conquered the lands of the west and north. Lithilea fell on the hands of Ulfbertine, and were forced to surrender.The King and Queen were killed leaving the princess behind.

Ulfbertine had a mission to accomplish, and it was to find those keys. They hold a wish and had to be given only to the right person or it may grant a curse may hunt them

The princess hid, wrapping the wooden chest with her. She was hunted down to be killed too. But before she was found, she gathered 30 men of the remaining knights before her. Unlocked the wooden chest revealing the 15 keys shining as bright as the sun. She divided the men two by two. She gave each pair a key and instructed them to a particular place to be kept. One by one the pairs received a key.

"Behold. I give to you a key that represents my life,memories and aspirations. Today, I tell you go, and guard these keys with your life. I foretell a prophesy: A girl of bright linen shall gather these keys once again and I shall grant her one wish. Advise her in every step she takes and I will be a voice that shows her the path. Never tell anyone or a curse shall one by one enter her. Now go! My rightful knights!''

The pairs left throughout the land leaving the princess and the wooden chest empty. The conquerers discovered her and brought her to a trial among the men of Ulfbertine. 

They questioned and tortured her to were the keys were. She never gave in. Never spoke, never told. She was being crushed one by one. She was starting to tear a part. Not because of the pain of torture, but because of the keys of one piece being broken like a shattered glass. The further the men journeyed, the more she broke. She couldn't hold it that she finally fell and died. 

She now was a mere voice that dwell-ed among the dreams. She awaits for the prophesy to be passed upon.

For the legend of the 15 keys to be fulfilled.

I woke up the next morning facing my computer in a blur. Why did I end up here? I stood up but stumbled and failed to do so. My head hurts with visions coming across my head. Was it all a dream? I looked around the room. *sigh* It was. I mean, how could I be in the anime world?
