Island of Lost Souls

Prologue

The clear sky tonight had no stars swimming. Still, the moon shown its beautiful light, showering the pond with its luminescence making it look like the water had diamonds glittering on its surface as the wind howled making the leaves stir in response. A woman sat on a bench in silence listening and seeing it all. She smiled in bitter sweetness at Earth's peaceful thoughts. A flower growing in front of her withered in her sight as she gazed upon it. "Don't not fear," She said calmly, "I will have my revenge soon and this peacefulness will be destroyed..."

A lady stood on the beach in front of the ocean smiling blissfully at the waves hitting the sand gently. Though as everything was moving around her, she was like an unmovable rock. It was only after an hour until she finally let out a sigh, and walked away from where she was originally.

When the lady found a comfy looking place on the shore, she sat down closing here eyes. However, a voice called out to her from the left so she turned her head to the sound. "Luna!" A man called out to her as he ran toward her. He had ruffled blonde hair, golden eyes, and handsome features. The gentleman was wearing a golden suit, and one golden earring glowing brightly on his right ear. Luna nodded in greeting, "Hello Sol tis been awhile." Man his looks are too much for me I can't stand it. She thought as he came up to her. Well I guess it's just him being a prince, literally. Sol chuckled softly, "You don't have to be so formal with me Luna. Just talk to me like a...what's the word earthlings say again? Ah right, a friend." Luna rolled her eyes at him but obliges anyways,"Fine if that is what you want." She replied curtly. Sol frowned at this a little but instantly put back his bright smile. "Isn't wonderful to finally have peace brought back into this world? The best part is that the humans don't even know about it." Luna looked down at her feet. "I suppose so..." Sol looked at her appearance, captivated at the sight of her. She had long wavy coffee brown hair that went to middle of her back, a sparkling silver gown that cutoff to her knees in the front but the back touched all the way to her ankles showing an anklet with a sliced moon chained to it. When she looked back up at him, he saw her grey eyes staring back at his golden ones, filled with wisdom, worry and doubt and her lips were tuned into a small frown. "What's wrong? You of all people should be happy about this."

"I know but...," she averted her gaze away from his and sighed, "I just have this feeling that something terrible will happen if we don't stop whatever it is now."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know..." Suddenly the waves started churning, growing bigger and more chaotic against the shoreline. The wind screamed in both of their ears warning them that something is about to happen. They tensed ready for whatever will come. "Greetings Luna and Sol. I am honored to meet your acquaintance." A voice echoed out. "Who are you?" Sol demanded, narrowing his eyes. The voice chuckled, "For now, I can't say. However, I am no threat. Just think of me as a head start."

"A head start?" They both chorused.

"Yes. That is what I said." Luna stepped forward, "Head start for what?" The voice sighed, "For a battle so great that it carries the balance of good and evil." Sol's eyes widened, "Another one!? I thought we settled this!" The phantom sighed once more, "No. That battle was different than this one. This battle has only been started once before earth was anew but fortunately good won. However, evil wants revenge for their loss." Luna gasped remembering a book she read at the grand palace. So it was that battle... "No. That's not possible, I thought we locked them away in Abaddon."

"Yes, but they have managed to get used to their new "home" and now they've been slowly getting stronger. So I will give you a "head start" to help you out."

"A head start?" They both chorused once more.

"Yes that is exactly what I said. Now do you want to see it or not?" Sol turned toward Luna, "Well?" He smiled, "This is your decision not mine Luna." Luna sighed, her eyes narrowed in thought. Then she looked up towards the waves, "Yes. I command you to show us this...head start."

"As you wish." A blue orb came from the surface and morphed into what looked like a crystal ball. In it, was an image of a young girl with a smile on her face, her dark brown hair was tied up into a pony tail and she was wearing a light blue cap with a stick figure on a mini island with the saying "Life is Good" at the bottom. Luna's mood darkened. The sky rumbled in the night making Sol taken aback at this sudden change. "I will never let her into this. That is final. Look for a different person." The voice chuckled in a humorlessly manner, "I'm sorry but there is no choice. It has to be her or all will perish. It's fate." Sol put his hand on Luna's shoulder trying to calm her down. "What's wrong with this decision Luna? This will help us defeat them-" Luna smacked his hand off her shoulder and looked at him with a glare, "I know but," Her eyes started filling up with tears, "It's her child! I don't want to put her own daughter in danger! I promised!" Luna stood there sobbing, tears leaking down her cheeks at the memories. Sol reached out his hand but then put it back down with a frown on his face. The voice sighed, "I'm sorry. I really am. But it's the only way. Some promises are meant to be broken. However, you have to promise me this one thing. Protect her all you can during the times of trouble and I just know that "she" will be very happy." Luna sniffed and rubbed her eyes, "Really? Can you promise me that?"

"I promise..."
