Chapter 1 She was acting like a commoner, clothed under such filthy auburn cloak and a simple mahogany dress. It was quite disgusting, as the whole place was covered with soot and the foul decay of fish prevailing the air...but she had no choice but to have her patience tested. She had to find him, even though the last time she had met the young boy in her childhood days-- whose face was always plastered with such a ridiculous smile--was about a decade ago. And more so, his name had been fully obliterated from her memories, because of too much responsibilities and drastic alterations that she had undergo in this past years.
The boat rocked violently against the colliding waves, her head achingly throbbing from the last few hours of sailing. Normally, she could have murdered without any remorse the captain of this impertinent ship. However, the skies were deprived of their vibrant colors and seemingly on the verge of their furious anger upon the recent occupants of the sea. The rain had been pouring like buckets and the wind was bitterly freezing, yet she paid no heed. Her eyes were glowing in determination, she thought idly such differences in this situation from the sufferings of her gradually crumbling nation. Compared to the Valley of Seiris, this was nothing. Everyone were deprived of happiness and security, famine struck to its parts and no one was able to survive the attacks that they encounter from some unknown deceiving fiend. It was too much for her younger sister to bear, driving the young girl into insanity and began to transform into something uncomphrehensible.
She closed her eyes, concentrating her senses upon the salty scent of the ocean. What happened to her sister? She was a sweet young child, idealistic, naive and heart of purity. However, that same heart had turned into something that crossed the border. Anyone that had dared to not to follow the concept her justice, which searching or even slightly shows whom they think claims to be a hindrance to their goals, will be declared as an enemy that has to exterminated.
Elder Kino, wise of all the ladies-in court, had disapproved of her decision to escape the haunting castle. Yet, knowing that the old woman had not taught her just to watch all of these events happen before her eyes without lifting a finger, she consented.
That was the reason that she had to find him, the Promised One, the man who had been appointed to take her as his wife. Who can utilize the Great Spirits with utmost power if she summoned it with her undulated capabilities.
"Jeanne.." Her voice tightened, her notions could not bear their weights upon her. " He shall save you..."
"Honorable Lady." A tiny voice, beside her seat quivered. The crimson orbs were shaking worriedly. Elder Kino had told her before she left for the journey that she must at least have three companions, which was unnecessary for her. Yet it made sense when her mentor had made it a point that she had never known the live of ordinary people. So it was done reluctantly in order to mimic them, making it harder to have her traces when those worthless soldiers are searching for her arrest.
One of those she had chosen was the Oracle, the most accurate--and only--fate reader in the world.
"Yes, Tamao?"
"The ship will not survive the storm." She trembled in fear, her lips quavering nervously.
