Stardust's Journal

Prologue

*cough* *cough* *breathes heavily* *cough*

Only what I'm seeing is smoke and flames. I cannot believe this is happening right now. This is supposed to be a peaceful place - only if those elementals are isolated in their place. AND WHY FIGHT HERE! There are so many place to do anything. Covered with soot, burn, and wound, I'm desperate to find a safe hiding spot. I don't care about the others' lives, the priority is staying alive despite have one side of my mind saying rescuing. The others are doing the same thing, running 'till the end of time.

I'm alone right now thanks to that meteor staff user. If I survived, I'll find that caster and toss it to my dragon's cell. That blast threw us including me, and that hurts A LOT. I wish I could find one of them or more, that smoke is killing my eyes and lungs.

O------------------------<=====>------------------------O

I think I'm safe... for now. I don't like this place anyway; small flames nearby, debris everywhere including wrecked furniture and other mishaps but it's better than nothing. I got nothing, empty-handed only having fear and grief with me. I hoping that everyone is still alive and looking for help. I want to scream for help but that could cause attention to the enemies. Besides, what will they do if they found me, kill me, arrest me, enslave me, marry me-I'm a princess- just anything that I don't like. I cried, pleading God for saving me and the locals of Spectral Valley. 

The reply: a group of yellow rockets.

In a flash, I fly away and hit the wall head first, then fell to the ground below. The pain is so insane, like I'm drowning in lava in the underworld. I grew weaker every second, losing consciousness. What I'm seeing is just blurs and swirls. That's it, I'm gone probably forgotten. I even had no chance to say goodbye to my loved ones. Before I passed out, a light shone above me, they something appear in front of me.

Is it an angel? I heard it in myths and stories. Although it looks more different than I remembered. It's even smaller than my head and appears to have a cone-shaped head with what appears to be a ruby on its forehead. Same goes to the two ribbon-like tails which tells me that it's definitely not an angel. What is doing here anyway and what it will do to me? It doesn't matter anyway, I'm dying. There's nothing else I could do but to sit there and close my eyes...

Then I felt a tingling sensation on my skin...and start floating. I open my to see what's going on but it's too late. Only what I'm seeing was white.

O------------------------<=====> ------------------------O

'Wait, am I dead?'

Then I heard a voice, "Not at all. I happy that you're okay."

For some reason, I thought I'm in the Aether, sleeping on the clouds. But instead, I on a bed covered with bandages. I'm curious what's in the Aether other than the angels, and souls of the dead, but I guess that will be answered later in the future. I woke to see a young boy in a light blue/white T-shirt with gray jeans. He's around 17, maybe. He has light blue hair, only slightly darker than what he's wearing. His bangs almost blocked his left eye. Wait is he an emo, no way the only emos I know are Naiads, and what is doing with me anyway? He could kill me right now.

"You're fine miss. I'll check on your condition later. I just need some medical supplies downstairs." He stepped on what appears to be a teleporter. Our castle had some of those; all made by a single steampunker, with the help of the mechanic of course for wiring. He pulls down a lever and disappeared.

It makes me wonder, why am I here? I remembered that there's an elf thing with me before I passed out. Could this guy told that thing (his pet, maybe?) to save me? If it's true, will it do the same to the others? I hope they do, I want to see Helios.
