Prologue

Location: Chaldea

"I can't believe that I have to do storage work." Cleo Everett whined to herself. She had light olive toned skin, thick curls off coffee brown hair that fell down to her mid-back and large, almond shaped bright sea green eyes.

"It's not fair! Who cares if I'm only sixteen?" She muttered as she reached one of the storage rooms. This one was specifically used to store artifacts that magus families were willing to donate; the box in her arms, actually came from her own family. The Everetts. They had been trying to clear out the summer house and found many old world artifacts in one of the rooms.

They kept a few of the artifacts but decided to donate the rest to Chaldea. She guessed that was why she was stuck with sorting it into the artifact storage. What a bore though!

She continued to whine in her head as she reached the storage room, kicking open the door rather roughly. She would rather help with the search of the six missing mages that had disappeared from Chaldea. They were all visiting mages of notable renown, two were even from the Mage's Association, one was from the U.N and one mage from the U.S Army and lastly three to disappear had been a well-known Staff member in Chaldea, everyone was worried. Especially Olga-Marie Animusphere, the Director of Chaldea.

"I'd be better of helping. Maybe if I get done fast, I can help." Cleo said, sounding more hopeful. She began to unload the box, but she did it slow and carefully. Even if she was eager, she didn't want to accidentally damage anything. Most of the things in the box were priceless.

She did her job silently, categorizing each artifact piece with a certain section of the storage room and laying them out on a soft cloth. She continued the process for a few more minutes before deciding to rest for a bit. She carelessly put an old, rusted vambrace down on the floor and sighed. What a waste of time. She was about to get up to stretch her feet when she heard a series of low whispering voices around her, causing her to jump.

Cleo looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary, just artifacts that while beautiful were starting to collect dust. Then, she heard it again, but this time, she knew where the voices were coming from, it was from the rusted looking vambrace she had put down. She blinked before gently picking the vambrace up, wincing as cracks appeared along the vambrace's rusted form. Did she break it? The whispering had gotten faster, almost to the point where it was like a hum in her ears. "Maybe I shouldn't have picked it up?"

The vambrace continued to crack, a white silvery light emitting from the cracks as they covered the entire vambrace. Cleo watched stunned as the rust continued to fracture before suddenly breaking completely.

Cleo felt panic rise in her chest at what was left in her hand, it was the vambrace, but it wasn't at the same time. This vambrace was glowing and was almost paper-thin and from what she could tell, completely made out of pure silver, though it must have been colored to look darker. It had words that she couldn't read engraved on the sides and what looked to be pairs of sapphire, aquamarine and diamond edging the end of the vambrace. Without thinking she turned the glowing piece of metal in her hands and saw something engraved on the inside; it was a magical seal in the shape of an eight-pointed star, with more words that she couldn't read.

Wait. No. She could read it. The words near the magic seal themselves had started to glow as well, outlining the lines of the letters. Cleo squinted her eyes and against her better judgement, began to read the inscription out loud. "Divíanaé lumeníte caelistí äego práetreus aestré taeraque thesáuris. "

Cleo rose her brow, "What the hell does that mean?" She muttered to herself as light suddenly burst from the vambrace, engulfing her and forcing her to close her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that she was floating in a void of light, the storage room having disappeared. "What's happening?!"

"You were able to read the ancient language of Vasillía." A female voice spoke up, there was no origin of the voice, it seemed to float all around her.

"Something no human has been able to read for thousands of years." A lighter male voice added.

"Is that bad?" Cleo asked the voices, her panic rising by the second. Oh God! Why did she read those words?! WHY?!

There was a pause before an amused chuckle floated through the air around her. "No. No, this is perfect. Our Queen shall finally have something that is bound to after all these years. It's about time... she's had no real purpose for a very long time."

Cleo gaped. "I don't want to be bound to anyone! If this Queen of yours has been fine for a long time, why change it now?"

"Having no purpose will sooner or later drive one mad. Having one again should be good for her." The male voice soothed calmly. "And you will help her as this task ahead of her, she cannot do alone."

"You read the incantation at a perfect time," The female voice added, though it was more judgmental. "The vambrace reacted to you. It has not reacted in such a way in thousands of years."

Cleo didn't say anything at that. The vambrace hadn't reacted to anyone's touch? Why? What was so special about her that made it do that? Wasn't being chosen by objects solely mythology?! An object shouldn't be able to chose its owner!

"I will warn you," The male voice said suddenly serious. "Where we are sending you will be extremely dangerous. A time and place where many people have dreamed to find but have not."

"The Queen will protect you. No doubt, she is strong enough, however you may have to summon her." The female added.

"Be safe, Cléophée Everett. And remember, not everything you see will be as it seems." The male voice said. "Oh, and keep that vambrace around your arm. It'll protect you when the Queen can't."

"Hmm?" A girl with midnight black hair blinked open dark violet blue eyes as she stared up at the cloudless blue sky. She had felt a surge of power go through her, coursing through her entire body and sending electricity through her. "A shift of power?" She sighed, pushing herself up. She looked behind her at the small village that she had been staying in.

By far, this had been one of the nicer worlds that she had been brought to. The people had more of a tribal system than what she had used but they were kind and unfortunately, easy to take advantage of. When she had first appeared in the world, she had found another, larger tribe taking money and food from the people. They even took women and children.

She had immediately set out and to save the people, and the battle had been harder than she had originally thought. The tribesmen had natural skin that was as tough as steel and they had a massive strength.

She had been battling for two days, and the aggressive tribe was huge and most that were left were the main aggressors. There was no way that she would leave before she finished this task; if she left now; the kind tribe would be slaughtered like sheep.

"Sorry, Eirelyn, Olliviere." She said, knowing that the two red-headed twins could hear her. "I'm not leaving until I'm sure that the people here are safe."

The black haired girl new that the two transparent figures watching her heard. She could even feel their eyes on her as she made her way back to the village to finish her current mission.

Both figures looked near identical in appearance with thin, beautiful, ethereal bodies, pale creamy fair skin, and fiery red hair. The main differences were that one was a boy and the other a girl. The girl's hair was much longer, going pass her waist and her eyes were a glowing amber. The boy's hair stopped just short of his shoulders and his eyes were a brilliant blue.

"Well..." The boy began, a smile playing along his lips. "Looks like Cléophée Everett will be on her own for a bit."

"If she lands in the right place, she'll be fine. Either way, our Queen must be summoned since the world she has to go to is more specific than usual." The girl smiled back, though she was a little more reserved. "I'll watch that our Queen finishes up in a reasonable amount of time. Olliviere, you watch over the Human Girl."

"Sure thing Eirelyn! Have fun watching our Queen!" Olliviere said, a large smile on his face as he faded out of existence.

"My Queen..." Eirelyn sighed once she was all alone, "You must hurry. The fate of many depend on you."

A young man with golden blonde hair and brilliant emerald green eyes sighed as he sat on his elaborate throne. Twelve Knights standing in front of him.

"My King..." His green eyes went to his right and he felt a small smile form on his face as he met gentle lake blue eyes. His Queen really was the most beautiful person in the realm. Her hair was the color of pure honey and her eyes were as blue as any lake.

"Yes, My Queen?" He asked, gently taking her hand in his. Her hand was warm and it soothed him, but that was all. There was no true spark between them, which was a shame. Instead, his Queen ended up being one of his closest friends and an adviser.

She hesitated a moment, before looking at the ground in front of them and he followed her gaze. In front of them was a magical seal that he had his Court Mage create. None of them knew exactly what it was, but this same magic circle had been appearing all over his kingdom, and it was a cause for concern. Were his enemies starting to make a move against him? Was it his Sister? It had to be, this was magic after all.

"Merlin." His Court Mage bowed to him as she stepped up, her white robes trailing after her. "Do you know what this is?"

"It's a summoning circle." Merlin sang, sounding a bit happier than she should. "I had to dig deeper than usual to find the answer. The reason why I didn't recognize it immediately is because it's different from a normal summoning circle."

"Why are they appearing all over Britain?" He asked Merlin, eyes sharp. "What is going to be summoned?"

Merlin sighed, shaking her head. "King Arthur. The question is not what will be summoned. But what has already been summoned."

Arthur's eyes widened. "What?"

Merlin looked at him seriously. "When I found out that they were summoning circles I immediately looked at them again. There are ten summoning circles at the moment, and all of them have already summoned something to this world."

"Is there a way to trace their energy?" Arthur asked.

Merlin shook her head, "I can tell you that what was summoned was powerful. But as for the moment, I cannot trace them."

Arthur felt his hand clench, a sinking feeling building in his stomach. What was going to happen to Britain? To Camelot? What was about to start here?

He felt his resolve harden, come what may, he knew that he and his Knights would fight to the bitter end to protect their people.

So... any guesses on where the story will take place? Please review for feedback!

NOTE: This is the prequel to Fate Unlimited Destinies and some references from that story will be tied to this! So if you're already reading my other work! This should help clear it up! Especially Cleo and Ariene's relationship.
