Chapter 1

My name is Talon, and this is my story…

It was a day like any other. I got up late for school (as usual) and ran past Uncle Junko. It never occurred to me that I might never see him again. He wasn't her real uncle, I don't have one, Junko was a very good friend of my mother. Her name was Piper, and she was a Sky Knight. But whenever I asked about my father, Junko just got this weird look in his eye, and then muttered something about Cyclonia. I guessed he was killed by the Cyclonians. Oh, how wrong I was.

Anyway, I was late, and I had a report for history, the teacher had asked everyone to write about a Terra, and I chose to write about Cyclonia. All my friends had written about Atmosia. Somehow, I had known things about Cyclonia, things that only a Cyclonian would know. Everyone had always said that I looked like a Cyclonian. On that day, I found out why.

I was half-way to school when the jail break alarms went off. And I ran head-first into the escaped criminal. Dark Ace. He was about to blast me with an oblivion crystal, but then he looked at me.

"What's your name, child?" he asked.

"Talon."

He gave me something, his weapon. The weapon that had killed over 200 Sky Knights. He also gave me a bag with a bunch of rare Cyclonian crystals. He told me that my mother wanted me to have it. That meant only one thing: that this man, this Cyclonian, this ruthless killer, had known my mother.

Completely forgetting about school, I sent Uncle Junko a message crystal –saying that I needed to leave Terra Atmosia-, took his skimmer, and did the unthinkable: I flew into the wastelands of Terra Volcanis. I had heard that an old Cyclonian general who had known the Dark Ace lived there. Instead of the monster that she was supposed to be, I found a kind, middle-aged woman who liked to play the violin.

"Um, are you Ravess?"

"That I am. If I'm not mistaken, your name is Talon, correct?"

"H-how did you…?"

"Someone who knows you just stopped by to stock up on supplies because he's going home."

"Who?"

"It's not my place to say. But as to why he left you behind, it was probably to protect you."

"I need answers, not more questions."

"Young Cyclonians would go on something called a 'Soul Flight'. A journey for answers: the kind that can't be given, the kind that must be found. The father would give their child a weapon that had special meaning, while the mother would give the child a bag of crystals."

She gave me a map. It had several marks on it. Ravess explained that the places that where marked would be where I would find answers.

First stop would be Terra Boton, home of Repton, my godfather. After that, Terra Vapos; where Junko's friend Finn lived.

And that is my first chapter tell me if you like it.
