Darkest Trail

Chapter 1: Into the darkness

It was a cold winter morning and fresh snow was covering the world in a sparkeling, white coat. The first rays of sunlight where shining through a window into a small house. It lighted up a bedroom and revealed a girl, peacefully lying in her bed.

She had woken up not long ago and started crawling out of her warm bed. She looked out the window and noticed single snowflakes falling. It was a nice and calming atmosphere.

She streched her arms and legs out, which were mainly covered by a blue frilly dress. The young girl walked over to a small mirrow that was hanging on a simple brown wall. Her reflection showed a rather short, girl with ocean blue eyes and red hair, that was falling softly over her shoulders. She had a innocent looking face.

Today was a special day for her. She was finally allowed to join the Coalition of Light as trainee and would soon be able to fight along side her older brother Luke. The Coalition of Light was a resistance group consisting of humans and angels, found to protect the human world from the demons. Long before humans even excited on this planet the earth was rightfully given to demons and angels. But they couldn't live together peacefully and therefore they where banished from earth and replaced by the humans, creatures made out of good and evil energy. However the devils never left the earth which lead to a brutal war. The young girl only remembered little about the so called great first war from when she accidentally overheard her brother talk about it.

She shook her head to get rid of these thoughts and zoomed in again. She had promised herself that she was going to be a fine solider, and would stand up against the evil side. The Kingdom of darkness.

At first her brother hadn't agreed to her idea of joining the Coalition especially since they had already lost their parents in one of the worst possible ways. But the young girl was so stubborn, that her brother eventually gave up and agreed.

She brightly smiled at the thought of that memory, when suddenly she realized how late it has already gotten. She quickly left the room and went downstairs a small wooden staircase until she reached the kitchen. Hurringly she grabbed some toasts and tea and quickly ate her breakfast. After that she rushed to a even tinier bathroom and quickly brushed her theeth before she put on a blue dress with short sleeves and a dark blue bow around her waist. Finally she made her hair into two pigtails with some more blue bows and layed on the floor in order to get her suitcase from underneath her bed.When everything was ready she turned around one last time and looked at the room. It was so quite and peaceful. „I'm going to miss you.", she said in her head before she excited the room for good.

She exited the house quickly and walked through the thick snow until she reached the hidden enterance of a tunnel. The tunnel was fairly lighted with some candles handled on both sides of the walls. It was a almost forgotten passage to the Coalition's castle. She made a step forward and entered the tunnel. There was no turning back now.

At the same time, far away in the castle of the Kingdom of Darkness another girl woke up. She got out of her bed enthusiastically. She was full of energy at this morning and quietly walk through her dark blue room towards the window where she gently pushed the heavy curtains aside. Before her eyes there was a huge castle garden with demonic statues covered in fluffy snow. A faint memory of her and her brother Rem playing in the snow crossed her mind. The young man wasn't her real brother but he had always prefered to spend time with her instead of his evil twin brothers Rin and Ren.

The young girl titled her head to the side. The snow had something so peaceful she thought before she went to her wardrobe to pick out something to wear. Although this was her home and pretty normal to her, she knew that she was different from everyone around her. The Kingdom of Darkness was ruled by demons. Yet she was a human.

She picked out one of the many beautiful long dresses which were made out of expensive looking material and put it on. It was a beautiful dark blue dress with three-quarter sleeves. It had white laces and around the waist, it was decorated with another snow-white satin bow.
