PROLOGUE

The scent of burning candles hung heavy in the air. Yura Otonashi is sitting alone on the center of the room, a pure while silk pillow, hidden underneath layers of her equally white rode, cushions her from the cold, hard tiles of the floor.

The familiar feeling of her consciousness slipping from her body now and then signals that a vision will soon appear, and not a second later, light envelopes her.

When she opened her eyes, she knew that what she's seeing is not an ordinary vision. Usually her visions only include flashes of image but this time, it felt like she's witnessing the events herself.

She's standing on the middle of a once vibrant plaza now covered with ashes and burnt debris. Not far from her, she can see the once glorious and majestic castle now reduced to nothing but a blackened, melted structure.

A kingdom in the land of a six pointed star,

Will cease to exist, locked in a place so far.

The scene changes into a thick forest burning from unnaturally hot fire. A group of six, with two children and three adult – one carrying a baby, is running away from a group of soldiers.

A secret buried in a heap of lies,

Shall decide their fate in a roll of a dice.

A blurry image of fifteen figures standing in the middle of an abandoned city flashes before her eyes.

A journey with no real destination,

Will end their quest for world domination.

An army of soldiers dressed in red and gold armor marches along a desert.

A map of clock that chimes in the dark,

A flaming flower that leaves no mark.

A tall lad with dark hair is standing on a grave, his crimson eyes reflects nothing but anger.

A tale written by the hands of blood,

Will serve as history of one lost lad.

The vision morphed into a battle field. Hundreds of bodies littered the ground; faces unknown yet will never be forgotten.

Drops of crimson will guide thy way,

To win or to lose, one cannot stay.

Yura opened her eyes only to find herself on the floor, curled to her sides. Tears burned her eyes as she continues to gasp for air. Her attendants flocked around her, worried yet afraid of touching her.

Suddenly the door slammed open and an Elder wearing white robes ran towards the fallen Oracle.

"Oracle! Are you alright?" The Elder kneeled next to her, conscious of him not touching even the folds of her clothes.

"Something's wrong" Yura gasped as her frantic eyes met the Elder's, grabbing his shoulders.

"Oracle! You're disgracing yourself!" The Elder scrambled away from her, as if her touch burns his skin.

"No! Yo-you don't understand" Her voice laced with fear as she grabbed the robe of her attendant on her right. "Something's wrong"

"Oracle!" The attendant hurriedly pulled her robes away from Yura's grip, afraid of her punishment if ever she was touched the Oracle.

"You don't understand! We need her! We need them!" Before any of them could answer, the door flew open.

"Jinno-sensei!" The Elder near the Oracle stood and looked at his fellow Elder who just came in.

"What is it Misaki-sensei?" He asked.

Misaki's pale face and fear-stricken eyes were enough for Jinno to understand that something terrible has happened.
