The Savior's Awakening

Chapter 1: The Savior's Awakening

She stared at it, fear gradually swallowing her whole. The intense light flashed before her crimson eyes almost too dangerously. The fire grew and grew, towering over her, engulfing the stronghold that stood before her. Frightened and scared, her whole body was paralyzed.

'Can you see it, little girl? Can you see it burning?

Don't be scared dear, it is but a passionate flame,

Dancing with no end around the mighty fortress,

Protecting all that is right, flaring out so greatly.'

The verse kept repeating itself, like a broken record in her ears. But no matter how many times she heard it, no matter how much it kept telling her to suppress her fear, she couldn't do it.

The fire was just too hot.

She yawned once more as she dragged her feet on. Six of her fingers were up; she had been counting how many times she had been yawning since dawn. It was usually rare of her to feel worn out when it was so early in the morning.

She was Elaine Sieghart the just-an-average high school girl. Well, if you considered the fact that her blood had been from an old line of red haired and red eyed honored knights and her athletic abilities were far from ordinary part of her averageness. Other than that, she didn't stand out more than the normal.

The red head stared up into the sky. A jaded sigh escaped her. Other than wasting her time counting how many times she had sighed, she had also been trying to encrypt the true meaning of the dreams that had been visiting her.

So that makes another odd variation in her averageness – She was having weird dreams. Although she had them, they were always but a blur when she wakes up. The feeling of losing the ability to even reminisce them was like digging up an empty hole inside her. It was psychologically agonizing in many ways.

"Elaine, are you alright?" A light pat on her shoulder and she turned. The first that caught her crimson eyes were dull gold eyes that stared back at her calmly.

"I'm always alright!" She huffed, flicking of the cold hand on her shoulder. She didn't dare to tell the truth to him, to anyone. Elaine had a pride to defend from no matter who it was. Though, she did feel a tiny bit of regret when she was lying to her best friend.

Her best friend (or sometimes referred to as her childhood friend) was the white haired beau, Naoto Hastern; the ever so calm looking cool high school guy that you'd expect to find in those romance comic books who was actually a typical scaredy cat with absolute zero confidence in himself. Literally speaking, his personality destroys his image (it was still a wonder to Elaine that he's popular amongst the other girls and even more to know that he was still single). His older sister, Sibil, was a huge contrast to him – she must have taken all his confidence when she was born. But one odd thing in his appearance was that black long bag he had strapped on his shoulder. She assumed it was his bamboo sword or whatever they called it.

"Oh.. Okay." He had disheartened tone, but immediately the teen lit up. After years of being Elaine's friend, he knew how each gear ticked and how every pendulum swung in the girl's system. She was what they called a Tsundere; a kind of stereotype which described a person had a cold and mean personality on the outside just to cover up the cute and frivolous personality in the inside. "Well, Elaine. Have you changed your mind on joining the kendo club?"

Ever since the two started their high school lives, Naoto had been asking her to join the school's kendo club with him. She expected such a thing to happen (Well, not the part that he who had no confidence in himself was very interested in things as kendo). Especially when she knew he had always one who was close to his inner child and loved all that was fantasy and adventure and what not. Furthermore, he was keen in making her join in the fun all the time (though, Elaine rather not admit to this).
