Elandia's story Shadow of The Heart Chapter One Titan The smell of electricity in the air, the sounds of a coming storm as the wind shrieks made the Captain smile, He had been fond of storms before but now he treasured them. He remembered the reason. Titan. He tightened his long thin fingers grasping the steering wheel waiting for the moment he was seeking. Finally his prayer was answered as the heavens opened. Above the raging skies was dark violet with the menacing rainclouds until the first cracks of lightning broke across the night sky.Rumbling thunder roars through the air as drowning out the pounding of raining. Masked captain watches the true power of the ocean. Reaching out his hand and resting it on his cabin boy’s shoulder. His weight of his hand had pressed down on the child's upper arm. Golden haired boy spun around, wide-eyed and a bit scared. "I'm sorry Captain." he force out “I w ... I wa… I was… what that over there” finally spoke pointing to the cliffs side. Turning his head searching the way the golden haired boy pointed. Two figures on top of the cliffs edge then suddenly one of the figures fell off the cliff edge falling into the waters below. Without a thought he orders everyone to their stations, praying that the person who fell still live when they reach them. The crew sprint to their station the footsteps echo through the deck. Tiny whimper caught the captain attention turn back to the cabin’s boy, Kai try not to cry watching the fallen body. He clutch little harder on his upper arm to confront the boy and secretly himself as well. The captain commanded his sail-master to drop the sails and searching through the feral waves for the figure. Unexpectedly a dark flash run pass him and leap into waves disappearing without a sign, only hearing his cabin boy scream “LANCE”. -Five days later- The first thing that Elandia felt was the agonising pain in her chest. She tried to push herself up on her right arm, unstill a sharp pain sudden pain made her look at it. Her whole forearm was tightly bandage, making her suddenly panic. Where was she? She found herself in four-poster bed with white lace drapes. She glanced around the room. It was lit with candles in ice blue glass lanterns, which cast soft blue glow. KATANYA as the thought came to her Where is Katanya? Begin looking around again searching for any sign of her sister. The feeling of dread fill her mind as she tries push herself up again howling out as pain shot down her body.Trying not to whimper has she tried to move from the bed. Sharp pain went through her bruise ribs as try to walk holding onto the wooden bed post. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply in the silence. " my dear girl, what are you doing?" At the sound of the voice Elandia eyes widened. The voice, though a little deeper, she thought it was her father but suddenly remember Crowll Rossan back at Epona. As she look up the figure standing front of her there stood a man wearing dark ruff shirt and pair of old wearer-out black denim. Elandia traced her eyes up his neck to his face. she glimpsed at his face there was white mask fitted perfectly to his face. "where do you think you are going?"he ask step closer to her " special dress like that" she give the man front of her weird look then glare down to see what she was wearing to her shock she stood there only in man shirt coming down to her knees. The blush come over her face. "What's your name?" He ask as he move closer. The pain shot down her body again as leaned against the wooden bed post. She slid her body down until she connected with the floor"El...... Who are you?" She answer back. " I am the Captain of this ship, Captain Olcan!" he answer reaching his hand to Elandia. Elandia reach her hand to the captain " Zeya Elandia Neo Rossan, the third daughter of Crowll Rossan and princess Veria Neo Rossan" she relied. " well my princess" but before he can say any more Elandia but in " don't call me princess just calls me Elan please" caugh his hand in hers. Helping her off the floor gently helping her lye back on the bed "is my sister onboard?" Elandia asked softly afraid to know the answer. "No" the answer Elandia dreaded. Bending her head down her hair covering her face finally tinting her head to the side notices her pendent and bracelet lying on the table beside her. Tears stream down her face staring at a small crystal bracelet, with 5 coloured beads. Each bead represented a family member, and with a little magic would allow each to see by their current emotional and physical health. Pale colours meant a mixture of emotions, such as happiness love contentment. Brighter colours like Green and blue meant health and physical well being. Purples meant anger, jealousy, and rage. Red which stood for pain, fear and panic and black stood for death . Olcan squeezing her hand "She Alive!" Elandia chocked out before passing out. Chapter Two Meeting of the Crew Elandia stirred from her fitful sleep, and tried to open her eyes. The harsh light stung, and all she caught was a flash of blue before she forced them shut again. It was several moments before she discovered several things wrong with this occurrence, and thought them through. One where was she? Two why does she feel pain? Three where is her sisters? Four What in Imara name is going on? Finally open her eyes looking around suddenly remembering last night with the captain. Elandia just groaned and turned over, rubbing her face into the pillow. Nope not a dream with a sigh, she forced herself upright and sat slouched on the mattress, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. In short, she felt like that horse had run her over. When Elandia finally stumbled to the door of the cabin still cadging her broken arm around her waist. Slowly turning the door handle to Elandia surprise opened. Sneaking her head out see main the deck didn't see no one. Elandia wondering into the deck of The Titan, staring at sky. She thought of him. She couldn't help it, as much as she tried, as much as she called him a traitor and a liar graham did betray them. " Hello?" a voice behind her. She froze, still turning her back to voice. Slowly she turned to face the person, with her eyes filled with surprise. There stood eight year old blonde kid staring at her with wide eyes. "you ok, thanks the gods" he squeak out moment later She had the kid rapped around her waist as he hidden his head into her stomach. "Kai let her go please she still injury" a voice that she knows before Olcan show himself. "what are you doing out of bed" Captain Olcan asked shaking his head at Elandia, this girl going to be hand full he thought. Notes: Lance glanced aside at the girl who made herself comfortable in the space next to him. She wasn’t his type. Creamy skin contrasted by her short dark hair. Vivid blue eyes framed by thick, black lashes. She was an altogether she was beautiful. He know he should not be staring at her something about her made him watch her, what going on he thought. She did arrived with the captain who was this girl. She accepted that destiny had already played a considerable part of her #life and would continue to; facing black army was just another step along that path. Phantom side Phantom tromped up the grassy hill, holding a stick of burn ashwood in his mouth. He knew the scent was supposed to be comforting, but it only make his nose itch. Then he glanced behind him at his friends. Other young foal’s faces looked as stricken as Phantom felt. Striding around the meadow finally allow to drop the ashwood stick. “Mother why do we have you carries burn ashwood” he complained to his mother. “Because my Son we do this once a year help bless the land” she answers back. Phantom sniffed the air. Immediately his senses were assailed by the odours of daily #life in Kurzon. Flaring his black nostrils, phantom inhaled one more. There! There it was: the scent. A wisp of humans scent in the air which mean one thing- hunting. Human are weird phantom thought to himself. Human always uses everything they touch even creatures around them. Figures shapes coming from the edge of the tree line, humans again approach the area where they do hunting or you could say there the place they run. The whisperers of the melody fairies start as they start waking up from their slumber. There melody getting louder as the morning breeze over the meadow. The fairies sing thier melody as the meadow fills up which look at alive flower floating into the air. Flying petals dancing with the wind over the meadow. Phantom watched the humans dragging other helpless being. Reaching their destination tire up the prison to the wood statue. Group of human turn high-tail it out of the meadow through the forest without blink of eye. “There you are, my darky” Cassidy was always trying out new nicknames for him . She knew Phantom despised being only black foul. Cassidy was sandy brown with white strip down her back. Her playful actuate alway got Phantom into trouble. "what are you looking at?" she stare same direct as her friend, notice the statue with human tied to it. Phantom ignoring Cassidy watching the man tired fight with the ropes that holding him. Phantom mother spoke up "other one" the sadness show in her voice. Turning his face to his mother "why" he ask himself out loud so his mother could hear him but his mother did not answer him and walk away. He was about to call back his mother when melody fairies surround him sing their melody which alway calm him and few fairies landed on his back and small melody fairy rest on his head squeaks as is still youngster. Forgetting the human Phantom start playing with the fairies and Cassidy. Finding himself at lake middle of the meadow as the day gone past with out him noticing it playing with fairies. Staring at the water as the moonlight that was reflected in it. The wind was cold, but he didn't mind. It was a welcome feeling. It made him feel alive. Not that he liked pain or anything but he could feel something. Wondering if losing his mind he could felt presence within his soul but every time he look for presence phantom could not find it. The sky starts to grow dark Phantom look at the edge of the meadow waiting, waiting for them. Within the trees blue glow start to appear then red, yellow, green and purple glow within the forest. Final the colour glows show at the edge off the tree line, like all way clocked children carrying lamps strolling up to the prison. Five children surround the prison "punishment is death, you found guilty for the crimes you done" one of the children spoken suddenly all the lights turn off and the sky went black. Screams echo though out the meadow. Phantom lower his ears disappeared into the darkness.
