The Akiro: Prologue.
Evran moves quickly, his lean body has been trained to move this fast and still be accurate. He bites his thumb and splays out his fingers towards the grouping of trees that blocks his path,the huge things so close together that it's like a wall.. The blood dripping from his hand whips out like a sword and cuts a circle into the group of trees. Evran's momentum carries him forward as he leaps onto the wall of tree and pushes through, the clearing on the other side his safe haven. He continues his dead run to the middle of grass-strewn area. He stops and pants, bowing over and holding his forehead, His straight dusty brown hair hangs down past his ears. He takes the small amount of peace to check his leather vest and white cloth baggy pants for any tears. He nods and scans around the woods with his hazel eyes. Kaige was on my tail, where did he go? He thinks to himself. His bloody thumb continues to trickle for a moment, then it hardens quickly and becomes something like a rapier.

Around the clearing, the ankle deep grass sways. Evran's eyes dart back and forth like he has been cornered. His face falls into a snarl as he gets more frustrated. "Come out, little brother...." A small rustle in the bushes to Evran's left grabs his attention.

Whipping the blood sword around in his hand, He runs forward, his hair whipping against his face as he lunges into the bush, slicing through the brush, out of which, Kaige appears. His more muscular form dodging to the right in a roll and kicking out at the back of Evran's knees. After the kick, Kaige rolls up to a crouch, his dagger in hand.

Evran falls forward into the bushes, rolling into the woods then bouncing off of a tree. Lunging at Kaige, He thrusts the blood sword at his brother's abdomen, which is parried and deflected to the ground by Kaige's dagger. Kaige's curlier dusty brown hair bounces as he jumps back and lands on his feet, standing in a defensive position.

Kaige is Evran's twin, it really shows, they are the same height. Their only differences is Evran is slightly smaller, and has straight hair, rather than the curly wavy stuff that Kaige has on top of his head. Kaige wears something similar to Evran's garb, except he has shoulder pads.

Things happen quickly, Kaige lunges forward, stabbing upwards at Evran's ribcage. Evran sidesteps and whips the blood sword around at Kaige's neck, whilst biting his other thumb. Kaige rolls on the ground and then kicks at Evran's ankles to dodge the swipe.

Evran flips forward and lands on his feet deftly, slicing out with two swords now, multiple thrusts aimed at Kaige's face and belly. Kaige continues to fall back until he reaches the tree line. Kaige swipes his dagger across the next thrust, then grabs Evran's wrist. Twirling the dagger, he throws it into the air. He rolls Evran's hand in his own until he can grab his brother's elbow. Forcing him to the ground, Kaige catches the dagger and holds it to the back of Evran's neck.

"Nice." Kaige says, his gruff voice is very ragged, he pants as he holds his brother down. Evran begins to laugh underneath him.

"Well, you almost had me."

Kaige cocks his head, which is poked by a sharp point. He winces and looks to the side. A spider-leg spike of hardened blood points at his temple, the sword in Evran's hand had changed shape and he didn't notice it. Kaige sighs and sheathes his Dagger.

"Gah! That's 3 times in a row. How do you come up with this stuff, and how do you keep beating me?" Kaige says, exasperated.

"Easy, you just do everything the same." Evran smiles.

Evran was born first during their mother's pregnancy. And like in all births of their race, their mother died. Evran's powers of Syn'ya, the race they are, the perfect hybrid of human and angel, had awoken before Kaige.

"I doubt I'll be able to do much at all.." Kaige sighs.

Before they say anything else, a mass of red scarves appear in front of them, seeming to sink up from the ground.The man seems to melt into existence out of the scarves. He's a huge chiseled man, easily 7 feet tall with enormous physical features, he looks like a huge statue of a god. His face is obscured by the scarf, only showing his golden eyes and blonde buzz cut hair. He wore the same baggy cloth pants as the boys, red like his scarves.

His voice booms."Son, Evran...Come with me, you are to become Syn'ya." He says, the scarves swallowing them up and pulling them away elsewhere.

Kaige looks on in shock, then hangs his head. "Zerallion picked him..." He says.

Kaige sits down in the field. The sky turning dark with clouds above him, rain pours on his face as he waits for his brother to come back.

Lightning strikes around the field, Kaige's anger builds, "He'll pick me as well." he says as the storm picks up more and more.

A single wing shoots out from Kaige's right side, barbed and feathered.






~~~~~~~~~RL UPDATE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TIRED. Just worked 8 hours in hot sun. Got moolah from it though, so it was worth it. 10 bucks an hour. If you can't do that math, that's 80 buckarunies. Oh yeah. . . I'll save it.. -.- Stupid being in college stuffs. Well, I hope you all enjoy the prologue. This is just a touch on the history of two of the brothers. You'll get a different bit tomorrow/sometime.

Thanks for reading, if you do. ^_^
