I run through the woods almost breathless, running as fast as I can. The dress I was wearing ws no help at all. The twigs of the trees grabbing at my hair and dress. Suddenly a ninja jumped before me blocking my path. I tried to take another route, but another ninja appeared before me. Looking around me I see I was surrounded. The ninja's formed a circle around me. I realized I had no choice but to fight them.
Closing my eyes I concentrated, I chanted the words gathering my energy. The energy I gathered formed a glow around me changing the torn dress into my warrior clothes. The body suit with the collar down below my shoulder and a ribbon tied around my neck. Boots that went up to my thighs and a cloak I wear over my warrior clothes. With the power invested in me I brought forth my nagitana into my hands with a ribbon wrapped loosely around it.
The ninjas didn't seem frightened only surprised that I held such power. Holding up my hand pointing at two ninjas before me, I chanted more words blowing them far back hitting against a tree. The other ninjas then attacked. Using the stick part of my nagitana I hit a ninja behind me. Swinging it in front of me I smacked another ninja.
The other ninjas started throwing ninja stars at me, I jumped up and they all missed me. Jumping onto a branch of a tree I used the ribbon wrapped around my nagitana. I chanted words while unwrapping it from my nagitana, I threw one end of the ribbon saying the last word, the ribbon then wrapped around the remaining ninjas.
I jumped down to the ground, before the remaining ninjas. I looked at the one facing me. "Who sent you?" The ninja didn't reply only sneered at me. I back slapped the him causing his head to hit another one of the ninjas. "Don't make me hurt you. Now tell me who sent you?" I screamed.
The ninja then eyed me and started to speak in an ancient language that I know only a little of. He then spoke in the language I understood. "We were sent by the master of darkness. Set us free and we will do your protectors no harm."
"Why does Darkness want me?" I asked ignoring what else the demon said.
"He wants you to be his bride." Another ninja said. "Your beauty intrigues him as well as your power. Go to him. Love him and he'll give you the world."
"So you possessed my ninjas, kidnaped me, just because that twit wants me to be his bride!" I yelled with anger. "I think not, I would never wed to the evil."
Turning my back to the ninjas I started chanting more words holding my palm out. Still chanting a crystal ball started to form floating over my palm. Continuing to chant the crystal ball started to glow brighter and splitting into different crystals saying my last words the crystals all touched the heads of the ninjas. Then becoming one crystal ball again, about five feet away from me. I raised my nagitana chanting only a few words the blade glowed then fired at the crystal ball destroying it.
The ninjas were all now unconscious. I don't blame them for what happened, they are my loyal protectors. Only possessed by the Darkness' powers. Wanting me to be his bride, how pathetic. Grabbing one end of the ribbon I chanted one word the ribbon then unraveled from around the ninjas and back around my nagitana.
I starred down at my ninjas. From behind me before I could move a black ball hit me wrapping around me. Knocking my nagitana away from me. I tried to move, but the magic rope had captured me.
"How intriguing," A voice said. "You destroyed my demon's. Even though, you're mine now."
I made a disgusted face as Darkness appeared before me. "Agh! Let me go!" I screamed at him.
"Oh, no. I can't do that my love." Darkness came closer to holding my face in his hand. "I will stop at nothing till you are all mine."
Darkness is what I call him, I don't know his name, he may be good looking, but his ways, his evil makes him so ugly. He wears dark colored armor, a cape as well as a helmet. I want to slice his heart out only his dark powers protect him and his body. He looks almost like a knight...only evil and defile.
Removing his helmet it dropped to the ground. Letting his dark hair fall loose. "The name is Golbez, your master of darkness." He brought his face closer to mine. "You belong to me. Whether or not you want me or not. You are mine!"
"No!" I screamed again trying to struggle again. Golbez threw me over his shoulder. "Put me down you bastard! ARGH!"
Golbez started to walk away but stopped. "Get out of the way." He yelled at someone. "Don't make me hurt you!" He yelled again.
"Not till you release her!" I heard a voice say. "Let her go NOW!"
Golbez didn't put me down only chanted words at the person whom is trying to help me. I heard a woman scream as Golbez hurt someone. He then put me down by a tree "Don't move," he told me as the magic black rope wrapped around the tree as well keeping me from moving. I then saw that Golbez had hit an elder lady. No, I can't let him kill her. I tried to struggle some more till I heard a war scream from another lady.
Golbez unsheathed his sword just in time to not get hit with a sword from a younger lady with hair the color of the sun. The lady knocked into him pushing him into a tree. "Fool," Golbez said rising. "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are, you just nearly killed my friend." She let out another war scream attacking Golbez once again with her....crappy looking sword. Golbez knocked the sword out of her hand, then quickly grabbed hold of her neck. She struggled for a bit then kicked him hard in the neck.
Golbez screamed grabbing his neck dropping the lady. She swept him and before he could hit the ground she kicked him in the face knocking him back into the tree.
"Help me!" I yelled, she turned and looked at me. She ran over to me and tried to pull on the rope, but it shocked her hands.
"There's nothing I can do." She said stepping back. "I know nothing of magic."
From behind her I could see Golbez rising, wiping blood from his mouth. "Look out!" I yelled but it was too late. Golbez hit her in the back of the head knocking her out cold.
"Now that your rescuers are out of the way," Golbez spit some blood from his mouth. "I'm taking you with me."
I wanted to help, but my magic, my power is no use against the rope. "No!" I screamed at him. He was about to lift me back over his shoulder, but he also noticed the elder lady rising.
"Stop!" She yelled. "I'm not through with you yet." She pulled a magnificent sword out from behind her. "For a fighter you should always make sure that your victims are dead."
"oh?" Golbez said dropping me. "I shall remember that." Unsheathing his sword. "Prepare to die old woman!"
"I doubt I will." Sliding her fore fingers up the blade of her sword she chanted words. The ruby of the sword started to glow. "Spirits of the earth help me!" She screamed.
Suddenly the ground began to rumble. "What's this?" I heard Golbez yell. Roots from the ground burst out grabbing hold of Golbez. "No!" He screamed as the roots started to pull him into the ground. He continued to struggle as the last bit of him disappeared into the earth.
The ropes disappeared as well. When I looked up at the old lady she was using her sword to keep her balance, but then fell to the ground. I ran to her. "Are you all right?" I asked "Please say you're fine."
She breathed heavily, "I'm not fine. Why is it when someone is hurt, they always ask that question when they know the person is not." She faced me. "No, I'm not." She put her hand over the wound.
"I'll take care of that." She removed her hand from the wound as I put my just above the wound chanting words of healing. A light shined between my hands an the wound healing it. "Feel better now?"
The old lady sat up. "Yes, very." She then stood up putting her sword back. "The earth won't hold him for long. Only for a couple of days."
We heard a groaning sound as the sun colored hair lady sat up. "Oh, my head." She placed her hand on the back of her head where Golbez hit her.
I walked over to where I dropped my nagitana and picked it up. The old lady handed the other one her sword. "My name is Celes," I bowed. "I am the high priestess as well as sorceress of the village Takenchi."
"My name is Mingi," She bowed. "The best of the White-Mage Warriors."
"I noticed." I said stepping forward. "Only the White-Mage Warriors know how to summon the spirits of the earth, sky and water."
I turned to the lady with the hair of the sun. "I am called Angel." She bowed. "It's not my real name, yet I don't know my name. I'm in search for my past."
I looked at her eyes. "Your eyes."
"What about my eyes?" Angel asked.
"Nothing...nothing. I just thought you had green eyes." I looked back at her eyes and they were brown.
"So," Mingi began. "You're from Takenchi? We were heading in that direction."
"Before we head to my village I must do something." I held my nagitana high over my head. I chanted some words and a big ball of bright light formed around the ninjas. Then they all disappeared. "Don't worry about them. I just teleported them back to the village."
"You can teleport as well?" Angel asked.
"Yes," I turned to Angel. "But I prefer to walk. It's not that often I get outside the walls of my village."
"Well then," Mingi began. "Shall we go?"
Me and Angel bowed to Mingi, and we started our walk to my village.
