![]() Forgotten past Dark FutureA Story by Shade![]() this story is about a girl who loses her memories and has to regain them by fighting...![]() A teenage girl was standing on her front porch impatiently looking at her watch and tapping her foot, leaning on the wall. She looks up to see a friend coming down the sidewalk. She lightly pushes herself off the wall and leaps off the top step jumps over the last three step, lands and breaks into a run. "Hey Alvira! Wait for me!" yelled the girl. The girl is a sixteen year old human. Her hair is brunette, has blue-purple eyes, stands about 5'4" and weighs about 110 lbs. She is a athletic teenager; she plays volleyball and dodge ball. She is also a martial artist, she trained in tae kwon do, karate, jujitsu and kung fu. She is also an acrobat. Her name is Shinrai Kodacha. Without turning around Shinrai’s friend answered her, "Hello Shinrai," while still talking to some one on the phone. Shinrai matches the girl’s pace and quietly listens in on the conversion. "Well, I have a lot of weapons...well, more than a regular human can carry physically...and I know every martial art thats out there in the world.....yes even street fighting...no I don’t fight on purpose, just when I need to...yeah, I will... I will be careful... I promise............ Understood... Good bye..." The teenage girl closed her cell phone. This girl is a teenage elf-nymph. Her hair is gold, but it can change color to blue or silver, and acts like moving water. Her eyes are ocean-blue, which is a trait of the nymphs, her ears are pointed a trait of the elves, and has uncomparable beauty which comes from both races. She stands about 5'6" and weighs 120 lbs. She is also athletic, but she does not go to school, she is a sniper for the Lyrax Company and her code name is Silver Water, she is also a dragon rider and a keeper of the dragons. She rides ten different dragons, five metallic and five chromatic (bold), the metallic dragons are silver, gold, brass, bronze and copper, the chromatic dragons are green, red, blue, black and white. Her age is not in the records of the city nor in the Lyrax Company’s records, the age is not known currently. Her name is Alvira Kiyoraka. Hopefully she will remember my brother but I doubt It. thought Shinrai as they walked along. Then out of the blue Alvira spoke breaking Shinrai’s train of thought. "Shinrai why are we going to the Trans-Mission airport?" "Well it was a good thing I called you. If you didn’t pick up your cell you will never get to see Tenshi until tomorrow after he gets his rest from all his missions that he accepted. So my mom ‘told’ me to call you so that you can see him today instead of tomorrow." "Tenshi? Who is he?" "You forgot HIM!!!! How can you forget your own freaking boyfriend who is my brother!!" said Shinrai in shock that Alvira forgot Tenshi. "After you lost all your memory which have separated into nine hundred orbs which are scattered to who knows where. You’ll forget what has happened in the past sixteen years." "Okay! I get it, alright! I know that you are still upset that Aubrey did this to you. But I told my brother that you will not remember him at all and he understands it, so you don’t have to get all upset about it." said Shinrai hoping that Alvira is not upset any more. "Okay." Silently they walked into an old parking lot that used to be filled with cars. But now in the place of a bustling airport parking lot there are old, rusted bodies of cars, with missing parts. One car had a missing engine, doors, the front axle and all of the wheels where gone. In another car the whole frame was missing and all that was left were the engine, the front axle, the doors, and the wheels. There were more cars with missing parts and there were some that were never touched. No one is driving cars sensed Aubrey came back after Tenshi chased him out of town ten years ago. Only the Lyrax Company employees drive cars now. And even the Trans-Mission Airport terminal is rundown. Years of successful aging makes it look like it is going to collapse but it won’t because the designer made the whole structure very strong to withstand age and bombs. So now terrorists don’t even know where the terminal is so they can bomb it. Well that’s what they say anyway. "Well here we are. The Trans-Mission airport. And not too late or too soon because in exactly two minutes his flight will be here. Let me see Arrival Gate 2-2-9. Here it is A-Gate 229. Wow there is a lot of people here already." said Shinrai. "Yea more than just people." replied Alvira Watching the crowd. In one minute after they arrived they heard the roar of the jet engines flying over head, which are so loud and powerful that the windows shook like a rattlesnake rattling his tail when he is mad. Once the jet landed a disembarking ramp was placed in front of the disembarking door where the passengers would disembark the jet. Tired men and women who came off the jet were greeted with cheers, whistles, and open arms. A father met his newborn son for the first time. A mother running with passion to her two beautiful daughters and her husband giving them passionate hugs. A girlfriend hugs and shares a passionate kiss with her lover after eight months of waiting for him to come home. And a great cheer went up when a young hero came walking down the ramp, because these people whose loved ones came from a war overseas fighting possible terrorists they did not have to worry about terrorist coming after them in the country that they were in. This young hero was a sword master and a knight. His eyes are blue and his hair color is blond. He stand at 6' tall and weighs about 185 lbs. His physical appearance is elfin. His name is Tenshi Kodocha. Then over the cheering he heard someone calling his name. Then he saw his sister jumping up and down with someone he barely even recognized at her side calm and silent. His sister broke through the crowd and ran to hug him; he put his things down and hugs his little sister whom he had not seen in ten years after he accepted the call to war. But then Alvira got a bone chilling sensation in her spine. At once her hand went to the sword at her side, a special type of sword, made to kill vampires. The best of its kind, it used to belong to Lyrax himself until he took on the family business. Then she felt the presence of a dark aura of evil. A shot rang out putting everyone into a panic. The vampire quickly scanned the panicking crowd and aimed at Tenshi but the gun never fired because as soon the first shot rang out Alvira pulled out her sword and knocked the gun out of his hands. With a finishing move she thrust her sword into his heart. He fell to one knee and then vanished without a trace except from a small orb was all that was left behind of the vampire. All of the sudden it floated up and landed into her hand, her hand closed once it touched her palm; when she opened it the orb was gone.... she realized that it was absorbed into her skin. Then a memory came back. Aubrey. She remembers someone talking to her about Aubrey; it was Tray who was telling her about Aubrey. He told her that Aubrey would take her memory, turn them into orbs and put them in his followers to enhance their fighting abilities so they can get rid of Tenshi. Alvira sensed that this vampire was one of Aubrey’s followers. I guess I have to talk to my boss about this thought Alvira. Shinrai realized that Alvira did not follow her. "Hoy Alvira! Alvira there you are!" exclaimed Shinrai running to her. "Come and talk to Tenshi!" taking her hand and tries to move toward Tenshi. "I’m sorry Shinrai. I can’t, there has been a change of plans, K? I can’t see him." replied Alvira turning away from Shinrai. Shinrai gasped as Alvira walked away. "What’s wrong, Sis?" asked Tenshi. "She’s been shot! She told me that she does not get shot. And now" exclaimed a surprise Shinrai. "She was fighting a vampire that brought the gun." said a young man. This young man looked elfin but his real race is human. He stood at 5'9 tall, weighed about 175 lbs. His eyes are black and his hair color is raven black. He is also athletic like Shinrai and he does martial arts. His name is Tray Mengistu. "Tray, it’s so nice to see you!" said Shinrai, giving Tray a hug. "It’s nice to see you to Shinrai, is this your brother you keep telling me about?" ask Tray "Yes it is. Tenshi this is our next door neighbor and one of Alvira’s co-workers, Tray. Tray this is my brother Tenshi." "Nice to meet you." They both said while shaking each others hand. "Sis, did you see which way that Alvira went?" asked Tenshi "No I did not." "I saw her, but why? Is something wrong with her?" asked a bewildered Tray. "She’s been shot Tray. We need to help her." said Shinrai. "Well then I know which way she went. See if you can keep up Shinrai." teased Tray. "Tray Wait.........!" yelled Shinrai but Tray was gone. Tray is Alvira’s servant. He has been working for her and Lyrax, for about one hundred years when Alvira and Lyrax defeated Aric. Fifty years ago he was human, but now he is slowly wasting away because of an experiment that Aric started doing but it never was finished. The experiment was turning humans into a vampire like person, except without the blood sucking part, they were as strong as a vampire, they’re physical appearance looked elfin, but there’s a downside; they only live for sixty years. But only some can be cured if they are working for a very powerful dragon rider or the keeper of the dragons themselves. When Tenshi and Shinrai entered the old parking lot they noticed that Tray was at the end of the parking lot leaning over a body. They quickly realized that he was leaning over Alvira’s body. Alvira collapsed because she lost a lot of blood. Tenshi looked at the ground and saw a thick blood trail leading to where Alvira fell. They ran up to Tray and an unconscious Alvira and ask him if she is ok. "I don’t know what is wrong I just found her here on the ground she started to say something about Aubrey then all of the sudden she just blacked out." "Her skin is still warm but I can’t tell if she is breathing." said a concerned Shinrai. "I will call Lyrax to send transportation." said Tenshi. "You know her boss! But how do you now?" said a surprised Shinrai. "I have to leave now because my family will be concerned if I don’t show up at home," said Tray. "Shinrai will you let me know if she is going to be okay?" "Yes I will. I will call you tonight." Said Shinrai. "Hi Lyrax? Yeah this is Tenshi we need transportation it’s about Alvira, she took a shot to the back yah she’s out ok. Yes I’ll watch for itthank you. Bye." While Tenshi was talking on the phone Shinrai was watching him with concern. What will happen to Alvira now? We can not take her to a hospital because there is not an honest one around! Will we have to go somewhere else to give her the help that she needs? She thought as she sat next to Alvira’s body, then she saw Tenshi hang up. "So what’s going to happen now, brother?" asked Shinrai. "Lyrax is sending transportation. We have to watch for a black mustang. Until then we need to make sure that she stays alive." said Tenshi. "I can not find a pulse do you think you can?" said Shinrai. "Yes my dear helpless sis I can find her pulse," Answered Tenshi. He touched her neck and found a very faint pulse. "Her pulse is very weak, from the lack of blood." "Not funny! She is not bleeding anymore. Maybe Tray did something to her wound?" said Shinrai. "He probably temporarily stopped her bleeding until we get her to a safer place. Here comes the black mustang. With Rose driving it. I was teasing you." said Tenshi with relief. "Rose can drive!?! When did she learn to drive? Who taught her? Oh... really? Alvira does better!" said a surprised Shinrai. "Probably when you were six years old. And I think Alvira taught her. My, my, my, time seems to fly right by. Her teasing ways wore off on me." said Tenshi. A nineteen year old human girl stepped out of the black mustang and walked up to them. Her hair used to be dyed blue but her blond hair was up to her shoulders while the blue hair was at her lower back. Her eyes were green. She was about 5'3"and weighed 110 lbs. Her name is Rose Roketto. "Hi guys! Tenshi! You are back, can’t wait till you get home right?" said Rose. "I can’t wait." replied Tenshi sarcastic. "Well you, Shinrai, and Alvira can sit in the back. And when you get comfy put this blanket over Alvira. Alright?" said Rose in the happiest voice. Shinrai sat on the right side of the mustang. While Tenshi sat on the left behind the driver’s side with Alvira’s head in his lap. As soon as they were settled Rose put a blanket on Alvira’s unconsciousness body. "Won’t it make her overheat?" asked Shinrai. No, it’s a healing blanket. It stops internal bleeding and heals wounds that are very deep, like a gun shot wound. In no time the bullet that’s in her body will be at the surface ready to be removed!" answered Rose. "How long will it take?" asked Shinrai. "Not long, maybe one to two hours at least." answered Tenshi. "It’s a beautiful blanket. What color is this? I never seen it before." exclaimed Shinrai. "You have never seen the night Sky!?! That is the color of the blanket, because it signifies rest and peace. Your body heals, and cleans itself of impurities at night. So the blanket is the night sky." answered a shocked Rose. "I’m so sorry, Rose. My mother would not let me out sense Tenshi he left. She doesn’t trust me at all." said a downhearted Shinrai "Even is Alvira is with you?" asked Rose. "Alvira has been out of town a lot especially at night. She doesn’t come to the house any more, because of father. She just stands outside or sits in her car now. I don’t know why she doesn’t come in." "It is because father doesn’t like her. He never has and never will. Mother told me that even if Alvira saves his life she won’t allow her in the house for her own safety." explained Tenshi. Rose then started the mustang and drove out of the outer city of Asgar and into the inner city limits. Shinrai looked out the window. "I never been to this part of town. Does anyone live here?" asked Shinrai. "No one lives here any more. It’s been labeled ‘unfit to live in’. Ever sensed that fateful day when Aubrey called a giant meteor from the outer reaches of space. To create a big hole in the earth to see if there really was a Lifestream. The Lifestream is interconnected with everything alive. But that experiment as he called it was never finished. What happen that day was stopping him, but at a great price. Thousands of soldiers, vampire slayers and dragon riders laid down their lives to save Asgar and earth, but in their attempt the inner city was destroyed and their souls was introduced into the Lifestream. My brother, Yki Roketto, died on that day. Alvira was one of them that were trying to stop him. She was the only one that survived that day, the only one to walk out of the carnage. That was before you were born Shinrai" "Did you." "Shh. And roll up your windows. There is trouble somewhere up ahead." As soon as their windows where up the windows turned into a very dark tint. From the outside you would not even tell who is inside, but you can see them from the inside. To you the tint was never there. Rose brought the black mustang to a stop and they waited, listening. They soon heard guns firing up ahead. Then Rorick, a vampire slayer came into view, with fifteen vampires and they were firing at him. Rorick was not being hit by all of the bullets as if he was a demon with superhuman powers. All of the sudden he pulled out his sword and charged at the vampires, with bullets flying all around him. One of the vampires tried to slow him down but it was too late because he was soon in dust with an orb lying on top. Soon this was the same fate of the other fourteen vampires. Rorick checked if it was safe and quickly picked up the orbs and ran to the black mustang, opened the passenger side, jumped in, slammed the door and said "Go!" The black mustang was put in high gears and zoomed out of the ruined inner city of Asgar, and the new course was to go straight to the healing lodge, owned by Lyrax himself. "That was really close Rorick." "It’s the best I do." said Rorick. "What are those?" asked Rose. "I don’t know, what they are." replied Rorick. "May I see them, Rorick I might be able to tell what they are." asked Shinrai with confidence. "Sure." said Rorick handing the bag of orbs. "They’re Alvira’s. Each one of these orbs is a different memory. They were taken away from her in the harshest way." said Shinrai. "A different memory?! Who took them in the first place?" asked Rose. "I don’t think it’s my place to tell you. Alvira will tell you in time." "Alright, we understand. We are almost to the healing lodge." said Rorick in a soft voice. "Aw is Rorick being soft?" asked Tenshi. "No! I’m not being soft!" snapped Rorick as he turns around thinking that Alvira said it. "Tenshi! You’re back from all those missions!?!" "Yeah I am and something tells me that you are a little bit confused." replied Tenshi. "Yes I am a little bit confused because I thought that Alvira made that comment of me being soft not you." "She would have done it if she was wake," exclaimed Rose. "True." replied Rorick. "Oh, and by the way, we are in the drive way of the Healing Lodge." They saw a beautiful lodge with flowers along the stone path leading up to the door. There were gardenias, cherry blossoms trees, and night flowers. When they entered the lobby they saw stations. These stations had guns, swords, quivers of arrows and multiple different weapons that showed on the screen. But at one of these stations the screen had nothing on it. On its plaque was a name in Anglo-Saxon Runes. Rorick stepped to the empty station and lifted his wrist to a device and the weapons that were stored in a thick bracelet, appeared on the screen. "It’s called flat-space technology. You can store a lot of stuff on this bracelet and not worry about the weight of all the stuff, because the bracelet is all that you feel. The only thing is that the Lyrax Company make the flat-space and uses it now." said Rorick. "Thanks for reading my mind. But who uses it?" asked Shinrai. "His bodyguards, soldiers, vampire slayers" "Soldiers? You keep talking about them but never explain what they do." asked Shinrai. Rorick paused and turned around looking past Shinrai at Tenshi who is carrying Alvira from the car. Tenshi mouthed tell her and waited for Rose. Rorick turned sharply around and went back at emptying his flat-space bracelet. "Soldiers are people who go on missions and protect the vampire slayers until the vampire slayer has done their job and if the slayer is injured the soldier have to stay with the slayer until another slayer comes and finish the job." "So is Alvira is the slayer" "Tenshi is the soldier," said Rose finishing Shinrai’s sentence. "This way Tenshi." said Lea. Tenshi followed Lea to the infirmary. The infirmary’s walls were colored with relaxing colors; blue, green, and yellow. Adjutant to the infirmary was the recovery room, it had the same color scheme as the infirmary but instead of an operating table it was full of beds. "Tenshi, put her on the operating table if you please." asked Lea. "Yes ma’am." Said Tenshi. "And put her on her side. So I can remove the bullet as soon as possible." "Of course." "Poor Alvira. From the looks of the shot whoever shot her just wanted her to move. Well at least it is easy to remove this bullet." "The person who shot her was trying to shoot Me." muttered Tenshi. "Really!?! I didn’t know that. Now it is time to sow up Alvira and there we go, and done! Tenshi can you carry her to the recovery room, so that she can get some sleep and recover from the wound." said Lea as she washes her hands. As soon she finished washing her hands the phone rang. "Now who could that be?" muttered Lea. "Yes Tenshi, sir? Yes he is here with me he was helping meyes sir, I will tell him. Goodbye. Tenshi you are need elsewhere." "Where?" asked Tenshi. "In the Lecture Hall where the others are waiting for Lyrax to tell them what’s going on." "Thanks." "Oh and Tenshi don’t worry about Alvira, she is in good hands." "I know she is." replied Tenshi, closing the door behind him. He walks down a long corridor, turns left, and straight down another long corridor. He stood in front of a grand mahogany door. He turned the handle and entered into the lecture hall, a great big room with wide stairs at multi leveled places that created seating places for about two thousand people to give and receive reports. It is almost completely empty except for Shinrai, Rorick, and Rose were sitting on the third and last level. Tenshi walked down to where his sister was sitting, and stood behind her. "Hey sis." "Tenshi! How is Alvira? asked Shinrai turning around and looking up at him. "We got the bullet removed and she is sleeping in the recovery room." "Hey Tenshi! Back among the living are we?" said Rorick. "I went to the infirmary not the morgue." replied an upset Tenshi. "Don’t get mad at me, I was just teasing." "Yeah right, Rorick." said Rose. "If you call that teasing I would say that you did a very poor job at doing it, Rorick." said a voice from the shadows. "Wha!?! Who said that?" asked a bewildered Rorick. "Hi boss!" said Rose. Lyrax stepped into the room. He was about 6" with blue green hair, bluish-purple eyes, and looked about 19 years. His race is elfin. His full name is Lyrax Teikoku or Lyrax of Anor. So this is the boss that Alvira talked about, he’s hot. How Alvira talked about him made him sound like an old man, thought Shinrai. "I need to tell you about Alvira’s past. On one incident when she was younger. But first the present." "Well we know that Alvira stopped a vampire from shooting Tenshi." said Rose. "We also know that Aubrey is planning something." said Rorick. "Hmm. Interesting. That is not new though." "New!? You want to know something new? Well Alvira is missing memories." said an upset Rorick. "Missing memories! How did you come by this knowledge?" asked Lyrax. "Shinrai told us, she has been around Alvira a lot." replied Rose. A lot!?! Yeah right! "Well when Alvira kills one of Aubrey’s "vampires" an orb, which is a different memory, is all what’s left of the vampire." replied Shinrai. "How where they removed in the first place, Shinrai?" asked Lyrax. "It’s... not my place to tell you." replied Shinrai as she lowered her head. "I see. Apparently you are not allowed to speak about it. Who told you not to say anything?" asked Lyrax. "Mom." said Shinrai. "Why is your mom into everything that you do Shinrai? You’re a teenager; you should be with friends not cooped up in a house." said Rose. "Its my dad she doesn’t want him to realize that I leave the house." replied Shinrai. "Then how did you become friends with Alvira?" asked Rorick. "Alvira used to baby sit her when mom was working. So only mom trusts Alvira to be Shinrai’s friend." replied Tenshi, coming to his sister’s defense. "Strange," said Lyrax, "I will tell you how Alvira used to be before all this started. I met Alvira when she was 5 years old. She was a very smart child for other children her age, she was able to walk and talk when she was 6 months old. But at the age of 5 she lost the ability to speak. Her parents decided to take her to Camelot to see if the wizard Merlin could get her to talk again. Her grandfather taught her many things but when she stopped talking he decided to send her to my father to see what was wrong. In a couple of months my father had her talking again, but her sweet rosy voice was gone. Her mother asked if Alvira could stay with us, but she never told my father why. She became my playmate until she turned seven then Queen Guinevere came and told my father that Alvira was going to live with her and her sons at Camelot. Tenshi, Aubrey was never after Alvira. He is after you." said Lyrax. "Why is he after my brother?" asked Shinrai. "Because he is a threat to Aubrey’s ‘new order’. The only way to destroy you was to remove Alvira’s memorys, Tenshi." answered Lyrax ignoring the fact that Shinrai asked the question. Now I know why Alvira described him like a grumpy old man. Does he always ignore people like this? I wonder how old is he? That’s a personal question. I hope Alvira recovers quickly. If she dies would I have no one to talk to, to laugh with What if this realty is just a dream? What if No I won’t let that memory come over me Not now My head is hurting "Shinrai?" asked Rose. "Yes?" "Are you okay? Or do you need to go to Lea and have her check you out because you are looking kind of pale." "No I am finejustjust an old memory from the past." replied Shinrai. Thank you Rose for releasing me from my memories. Faded memory, huh? Thought Lyrax. Well it looks like Shinrai has experienced more than we thought. She must have been there. She probably knows how to return Alvira’s memories. "Back to my story. After ten years our paths cross again. But she wasn’t the quiet Alvira that I used to know. Her anger was prominent in everything she did. But she was a very hard worker; she worked with my father at making swords and other weapons. She made beautiful bows. They were hand carved and made of dragon-bone. Father always placed a high price on her bows, to where only elves and royalty could afford them. Whatever design came to Alvira’s mind she carved onto the bow, there was never a bow alike. She always talked to my father about demonic orbs. ‘Different memories, different powers if you extract them correctly and if it doesn’t leave the host with no memories to remember.’ said my father" "Demonic orbs? I thought they were called memory orbs." said Shinrai raising her head quickly. Well that was a good response. At least she was listening thought Lyrax. "Demonic orbs are memory orbs, silly! They just mean different things back then." said a girl with a fan, breaking Lyrax’s train of thoughts. This girl is an elf. Her name is Mikazuki Teikoku or as Mikazuki of Anor. She had long green hair, blue eyes and wore orange, blue, and purple clothes. She looked about sixteen years of age. "Who are you?" asked Shinrai. "I am Mikazuki of Anor. I am the younger sibling of Lyrax of Anor. At your service." replied Mikazuki taking a bow. "I’m so sorry brother for interrupting your conversation with your team." Nice. Mikazuki is Lyrax’s sister I would have never guessed. But I wonder how old is she? Is she the same age as I am? Or is she older that she looks? thought Shinrai. "It’s all right. Questions must be answered. Come and sit with us." "Of course, brother." replied Mikazuki and sat on her feet next to Lyrax. "Now where was I ah yes Alvira said ‘I was looking in one of my dragon’s libraries and saw a spell that can remove memories without completely removing them. The spell is called ‘copy memories spell’ it is a really powerful spell; it takes a lot of energy from the spell caster, unless the spell caster is a dragon themselves.’ My father always liked talking to Alvira but this information was new to him and he asked ‘Which of your dragons’ library did it come from?’ ‘From my silver dragon, Lyrax, library.’ ‘Lyrax’s library!? He really must be old to have that much’ ‘Knowledge? No he is not that old but his mother, Gaia, left it to him when she died of old age.’ ‘How old was Gaia when she died?’ ’12,000 years old. She remembered my ancestor, Pandora, when she was a wrymling.’ ‘Wow she is old. Does she have a grave?’ ‘Yes, but no one knows where her grave is except my dragons and I.’ ‘Can you put some flowers on her grave for me?’ ‘Yes I can’ ‘Thank you, Alvira.’ Soon after the shop was closed Alvira started to leave when she stopped and turned back around and she said ‘I forgot to say this but after today you won’t see me anymore, because my family is sending me some where else. If the bows don’t sell, my father ordered that them to be burned. He said there should be no trace of me working here or even me living here. Some day in the future we will meet again. Good bye’ and she left never looking back. About thirty years later, I came here to take on the family’s business when my uncle was dying. He could not hold onto the business, because he was so sick and his only son wanted to sell it. On his death bed he disowned my cousin and appointed me as the successor of the business, making new technology so that people can live comfortably without hurting the planet. My cousin was furious when he heard that his father disowned him, and he did not have an inheritance. But when he heard that I inherited the business, he loathed me, he wanted me dead. He tried to have me assassinated but that did not work out so well. Soon it was found out that he was a vampire and has a hefty price over his head. It was reported that a renowned vampire hunter and his adopted sister was in Asgar.." "The adopted sister was known as the ‘Oracle’ or Yogensha. And the vampire hunter was called Alberic." said Mikazuki before Lyrax could give them their names. "Thank you Mikazuki. When my cousin was in a bar, he saw Alberic and Yogensha enter in for a drink. He watched Yogensha for a few minutes to see if the rumors were true that she could sense a vampire near by. But soon he decided that the rumor was not true at all and he slightly relaxed. But he still watched her; he realized that she did not order anything to drink. He looked at his surroundings he realized that this bar had no back door because the whole back wall was covered with mirrors. And he realized that Alberic and Yogensha sat close to the front door, making it hard to escape without being noticed. He cursed himself for being so blind, he knew to escaped he had to walk by them, but instead he decided that he will challenge them, and kill them both, and suck on Yogensha’s blood to prove that she is not really powerful than him. He got up and walked boldly to where they were sitting and challenge them saying ‘Alberic are you up to a challenge?’ Alberic just looks at my cousin blankly. ‘Well are you?’ Yogensha slowly stands up. ‘I knew that you were here vampire.’ He stopped and thought, ‘How did she know that I was here?’ ‘I am an oracle. I can sense that you were here or not, vampire.’ Yogensha said as she slowly turned around. My cousin froze up when he looked into her ocean blue eyes" "Where you there, Lyrax or did you just had some one telling you this?" asked Rorick not believing the story. "I was there, Rorick, back then I did not know it was Alvira who destroyed my cousin. Now where was I? Ah yes he shook himself from her gaze and pulled his sword out of its sheath and tried to kill her with a downward thrust to split her head open. She put her hands up, thumbs pointing to him and her fingers pointing straight up and closed to together; and the sword stopped in the middle of her outstretched hands and a ringing could be heard. Then slowly a sword appeared in her hands, my cousin baring with all of his weight against her sword, and once her sword was completely formed she used his weight against him and threw him into the mirror. My cousin slowly slid down the mirror leaving a spider-web like cracks in the mirror, he got up slowly shaking his head and spitted, blood, an inside injury that Yogensha’s powers wrought through his body when she was starring at him. My cousin let out a sharp cry of anger ‘You wench! How dare you cheat! You don’t do things when your opponent’s guard is down!’ he yelled at her. ‘Your guard was never down Baldric. Vampires always expect hidden attacks and you were expecting me to attack you and I did just not in the physical attack that you wanted.’ ‘I will kill you for that wench. Prepare to die!" Baldric screamed. ‘No, you can’t. I won’t die by your sword, not today nor for eternity.’ Yogensha calmly told my cousin. My cousin, Baldric, attacked Yogensha straight on and tried to kill her again but it was the same result except this time he was thrown into three thick wooden tables, of course the tables were empty for the people already left... Mikazuki can you finish the story since I told it to you so many times?" "Of course, brother. They left when the bar closed around midnight, before the fight even began. Baldric got up again but he was in so much pain, because his organs were slowly dying. He fell to his knees and started to heal himself. But while he was healing, Yogensha walked up to him and raised her sword to his exposed neck and quickly cut his head off. A perfect decapitation or execution of a criminal, Yogensha always injured her opponent severely, so that she can kill them in the most dishonoring way. His body and head turned to dust and he faded into eternity forever. Then she put away her sword, turned around to where Alberic was sitting and said..." "She said ‘pay the owner for his troubles and let’s go, our jobs done here.’ And she walked out the door." said Alberic as he was walking down the levels to where they were sitting, Alberic was 6’5", had long black hair, he look like an elf but he is a crusnik (a vampire that feeds on vampires). His eyes were a dark blue with years of experience and knowledge in their depths. He looks about 20 years old. "Oh look its Alberic!" said Mikazuki with scorn in her voice clearly having discord for Alberic. "Alberic when did you get into town." asked Lyrax. "About two hours ago, the same time Tenshi arrive on the plane, I was coming back from Europe." "What was in Europe, Alberic?" asked Tenshi. "Alvira’s memory orbs." "Alvira’s memories are in Europe!?!" asked a confused Rose. "Thirty of Aubrey’s henchmen went to Europe to look for excalibar. I killed all of them before they found it." "Wow, that’s a lot of orbs! Rorick killed 15 of his henchmen. But how will the memories return to Alvira’s mind?" asked Rose. Alberic turned around looking for a clock, his searching eyes landed on the door, and he saw Alvira leaning against the doorframe, watching as a silent watchman over the city walls, waiting, to raise the call in the night. "Why don’t you ask her yourselves?" suggested Alberic looking back at the others. "How can we? She is still in the infirmary!" stated Rorick. "Silly aren’t they?" Alvira said telepathic. "Yes sis, they seem to not be able to see you standing there or they are just too sad to even realize that you are out." thought Alberic. "Should I just come down a surprise them or should I go and kill more vampires?" thought Alvira. " Half breeds is what they should be really called. Come and explain it it will give them a shock! Your voice is a little more musical than the last time we talk." Alberic thought as he broke from her thoughts and waited. "By absorbing those through the skin and the memories will return instantly to the memory section of the brain." Alvira stated as she walked down the steps to the level where they were sitting. Everyone except Lyrax, Mikazuki, and Alberic turned around because her voice sounded different. "Alvira!" shouted Shinrai as she leaped up with a lot of speed and ran up the stairs to Alvira, as soon as she reached Alvira she gave her a big hug and Alvira gave one back, as soon as they where done hugging they both walked down the last few stairs and sat with Alvira next to Tenshi and Shinrai to Alvira’s left. "Found a new pet, Yogensha?" asked Alberic. Laughter rang through the hall. "No, she is not a pet. She just... been with me through a lot of things." said Alvira with very high spirits. "Well, Yogen you seem happy today. Is everything alright?" asked Mikazuki teasingly. "Well, Mika it seems to me that you are not happy at all." replied Alvira in the same teasing voice. "That’s not...." "I see you are yourself now Alvira." said Lyra. "Not really, Lyrax. You can say that when I get all my memories. May I have the orbs that you have now?" asked Alvira as she reached out with her right hand. Rorick gave Alvira 15 memory orbs and Alberic gave her 30 orbs, 45 memory orbs altogether, 45 different memories, they all got absorbed into Alvira. Memories of babysitting Shinrai, fighting Shinrai’s father, and... the painful memory, she remember Shinrai crying, while Alvira memories was been removed one by one, she remembered putting a spell over Shinrai that made her a key to finding her memories. I am glad I did that. If she is around me I will able to sense my own memories and choose how to receive them back. She is the key to my memories. She thought. "So Alvira how where your memories removed?" asked Rose. "It’s a very painful process if you are inexperience at removing memories, only a professional can completely remove ones memories but they have to put different memories in as soon as they remove the memories or the person will die. I almost died because the person who was removing my memories was inexperienced and he did not replace my memories, but the reason why I survived is because of you, Shinrai." answered Alvira. "Shinrai was there with you?" asked Rorick. "Yes she was. I was babysitting her that day when my memories were removed." "I was only six years old back then, ten years ago." "That’s right. It’s a good thing that your mom let me stay as your babysitter. She couldn’t let me go and not have any memories to have, so her mom let me stay with Shinrai and I made some new memories with her." So Shinrai was there, well I guess I have to give her a little more respect. Thought Lyrax. She deserves it. She knew that if she talked about it she would break down, Poor Shinrai. "Well, Shinrai are ready? Because its going to get a lot harder from now on." asked Alberic. "I have been through a lot and I am ready for anything, because I am the key to your memories, Magi." replied Shinrai but when Alvira looked at Shinrai’s eyes they where a familiar color to someone she knew from long ago. Its been a long time since I left home and Camelot, Shinrai must have connected with her Inner Self which is wiser, older and more powerful. Maybe..... "Alli?" asked Alvira. "Yes its me...I am sorry possessing your young friend... she is the only one with enough power to keep here and to help you." "Alli?! Who’s Alli?" asked Rorick. "Alli is a very powerful psychic that uses mirrors to "power up" anyone who is fighting for the better good. She is the most sought after psychic in the worlds by evil. All villains want her for themselves. They want her to believe that what they do is the better good, but she choose me because I was always fighting, fighting against evil." "Yes you where fighting and I saw that I should help you. I foresaw that if I did not come and help you, you will die. And the gods don’t want that to happen, so the gods allowed me to help you but they told me that I can’t be in my own body, so I ask Merlin to incase my body in stone and I waited for the right moment to come and be with you. To help you regain your memories and the gods revealed to me that you would be more powerful and immortal." "Immortal? How will she be immortal?" asked Rose. "I’m the decedent of Pandora." replied Alvira. "Pandora!?! But she is a goddess on our home world!" exclaimed Mikazuki. "A goddess that chose to live amongst the live beings in the world. Her eleventh decedent will be the most powerful among the gods. Her and her brothers are the four high most gods that live with the people, with the power of the elements they will spread judgement among the people. But she alone can restore Camelot to the height of its hay days after I, Pandora will die by tomorrow afternoon, for I will not see this happen but I know that my decedents will look forward to this even though they will be killed, murdered, slain for what they do. But the eleventh one will not die because she is the most powerful of us all." recited Alvira. Everyone was silent when Alvira finished speaking. "A piece of Pandora’s journal. She was the greatest psychic of them all back then. But I will never be able to reach the power she had. She knew what was happening all the time, and she knew how to counterattack when Camelot was under attack." said Alli quietly. © 2010 ShadeAuthor's Note
