VORWEG das ist eine story die ein kollege von mir mal geschrieben hat...und zwar komplett in english...viel spaß damit....ich habe sie gelesen und sie is wirklich gut gemacht...man könnte echt meinen das wäre ihre story...
Moonlight’s Flower
Payon Cave, Payon, a long time ago
The moon’s rays seeped through the gaps in the caves. Smokies gathered around the light, basking in the beams. Familiars fluttered deeper into the cave, darting away from the moonlight.
But none of the creatures dared go near the deepest crevasses of the cave; the thumping of drums and sounds of laughter and singing echoed throughout the cavern, repelling anything that came too near.
On the lowest chamber, a huge crowd gathered around the statue, dancing and singing their praises to their deity and ruler. Men and woman danced gracefully around in a circle, their children desperately but clumsily imitating them. All of them sang with pride and joy, their voices portraying the valiant acts of their saviour and leader.
But they weren’t worshipping the statue in the middle of them.
A girl sat on the shoulder of the statue of Buddha, chewing on one of the finest Yggdrassil Leaves ever found by the people of Payon. Its sweet aromatic flavour filled the girl’s mouth, making her more relaxed than she already is.
The people below continued to chant their ceremonious song, dancing endlessly into the night. The drums grew faster as the crowd sung louder, entering a competition of skill and endurance.
‘Heh, they’re so cute when they do that,’ the girl thought to herself. The Moonlight Festival was originally a myth; anyone born at this time of year will be cursed and live the poor life of a slave forever
But the girl changed it all. She was born under a full red moon, condemned to a life of hardship and suffering but it never happened. Her mother had long since passed away, but she left her with meaning. The girl, Sakura, was a half demon, half immortal, but she was raised with the kindest hand Payon has ever seen. Sakura was aspired by her mother to be strong, to grow up and be like everyone else. Even though the curse was almost true, she struggled gain the trust of her city
It was in the forest a group of children, their father killed by the dreaded Eddga. They were going to be slain too but Sakura saved them she tore out the Edgga’s heart and sent him straight to hell. She was crowned a hero, and accepted as another citizen in Payon
Ever since then, her deeds continued to increase; from saving fishermen from the seas to stopping the cave from collapsing, she has done it all.
The singing and dancing grew more and more energetic, even though they have been singing for the most part of the day. The drums continued to beat hard as the drummers tried hard to fight the sheer loudness of the crowd.
Sakura’s pet fox, Ninetails, leapt beside her. She stretched on the spot, letting her tails span out like a fan. Sakura gently patted Ninetails as the vixen rested her head on Sakura’s lap.
She met Ninetails when a group of adventurers came back from an expedition. They found the strange nine tailed fox, bringing it back to boast. Many elders were shocked and afraid, raving about the legend of the nine tailed fox. Everyone wanted it burn, soon enough, but Sakura saw the sadness in its deep red eyes, just like her own. She gave the vixen a chance to live again, and now she was loyal and ever loved pet of the leader of Payon.
Suddenly, the music around Sakura stopped. Everyone looked up at the statue, staring into the eyes of their idolized goddess. The main event was about to begin. Sakura glanced around once, then took in a deep sigh. She enjoyed doing this every time.
It felt as if somebody yanked out her spirit and let it fly all around her. A huge sphere filled with twinkling specks of white light filled the cave. They spun together, creating images flashing across the cave the memories of Sakura’s past
She showed them her mother, raising her from young, protecting her from the other people of Payon. She showed them the hardships they had to endure, the pain and suffering she went through, how she ran away when her mother died of illness then, they encounter with the Eddga
She showed them her other brave acts, how she stopped the foreigners from invading the city; how she stopped a tsunami from flooding the cave, their city
Then, she showed them the present; people dancing around the statue every year, cheering her on. They all wanted to see this spectacular sight; so many dots of lights come together to form a beautiful recall of Sakura’s life
Then, it was over all too soon. Sakura slumped down, panting relentlessly from the effort to maintain such a large amount of area of ‘spirit’, as she called it. The lights dimmed once more than disappeared completely.
People cheered, some wiping tears from their eyes, touched by the emotion put into Sakura’s lightshow. Everyone gathered closer around the statue, leaving a thin gap to let her down.
Sakura dropped down, caught in the hands by one of the drummers. Everyone smiled and giggled as the young deity was put back onto the ground carefully.
Sakura loved her people; they did not fear her, never once was there the fear that she would turn against them. They were able to talk to her as if she was an old friend; even the children would invite her would invite her to play their games occasionally. She was happy she was not treated like a tyrant, not some power hungry monster threatening them with fear and anguish.
And for a strange reason, Sakura felt stronger than before everyone idolized her; as if their prayers to her were actually making her stronger
But she has dwelled on such thoughts many times. She returned her attention to the crowd, thanking them and letting them pat and caress her. It was nice for them to show their affection for her so freely, even with the knowledge that she had the power to kill all of them here
Ninetails leapt after her, landing gracefully on her front paws. A small clamour of children rushed forward, patting and scratching her with tiny little fingers. From the looks of Ninetail’s face, she rather enjoyed it.
Then everyone halted as Sakura raised a hand. The last part of the festivities was the most important. Sakura watched them kneel before her. Everyone was in silent, hands held together in the odd Payon style prayer.
Sakura led them, praying to the deceased for a safe passage to heaven. She spoke of blessings to the city; to keep it safe, peaceful and ever happy. Then, everyone mumbled their own wishes, and recited the last part of the prayer; a token of appreciation to Sakura, their protector, their master and their Goddess.
The prayers were actually an oath for Sakura. She promised them happy lives, and in return make hers happy as well. She couldn’t remember how they started believing she was a descended deity that has come to save them, but it happened. Now she had the responsibility of taking care of her people
Now and forever more
A slight rumble woke up Sakura. Was it another earthquake ? No the rumbling sounded like footsteps?
Sakura got out of her bed, glancing outside. Nobody was in this part of the cave nobody ever gets out at this hour except guards.
Even though she didn’t need sleep, the elders insisted she rest, for the sake of not to worry the people. She crept out of the door quietly, feeling the soft warmth of the cave fill her. It was a nice feeling it made you very relaxed
The rumbling got louder. Whoever they were, there must be at least a hundred of them; it wasn’t possible for only a few people to cause such a ruckus.
Sakura spiralled up the stairs to the top floor. Guards were already scurrying to and forth, placing bows and slingshots on strategic points.
Ma’am, the foreigners are coming en masse! It looks like they’re going to attack us! one guard reported.
Attack? What for? Payon has never done anything to foreigners; except for a lone priest he was rested and healed back to life, not a trace of hostility
The rumbling became a roar as a huge group of people appeared before the defenders. The one leading them bellowed, Do not attack! We are here to help cleanse this place of the tyrant demon ruling your village! We request nothing more than to help you!
The guards looked at Sakura with raised eyebrows. Who did they think they were kidding?
But Sakura took it personally. She stepped out of the barricades the guards had set up, looking face to face at the man.
But before Sakura could utter a single word, the man shouted, You! I could sense a huge demonic aura coming from you She’s the one! ATTACK!!
The crowd of armoured men charged at Sakura, brandishing swords, spears and axes at her. With a swift motion, Sakura dodged all of them with blinding speed, reappearing behind the barricades.
I’ve kept a promise I won’t fight unless it’s necessary, Sakura explained to the Guard next to her. He nodded solemnly, Yes miss Sakura, then the guard added, You’re doing the right thing.
The rest of the Guards lowered stakes and retreated back into the city. Sakura watched them hacking away at the stakes bit by bit, each splinter piercing those around them. The doors to Payon closed as Sakura stepped through them. The guards bolted the door thrice, then barricaded the entrance again.
That should keep ‘em out long enough, the guard said to himself. Sakura wasn’t so sure that man, he looked oddly familiar why would he want to kill her?
He said he had felt a demonic aura around her, and said she was the one. How did he know her whereabouts? No foreigner has ever come to Payon except
Except the priest
Why? Why would somebody who they helped want to kill her? She wasn’t a tyrant, but her being a demon wasn’t wrong, was it ?
BANG! The doors shook hard as the attackers rammed it.
Let us in! We only want to release you from that demon! Open at once! the priest shouted.
The doors rattled again. The bolts would hold. They were made of the finest Payon wood and steel. It had served its purpose many times. But suddenly, the bottom bolt broke into half, sending tiny specks of debris towards the guards.
Sakura-san, I suggest you head deeper in. They were only after you, so maybe if you wait in the lower chambers, they won’t find you. Sakura nodded, bowing down, Thank you I don’t know if what they are saying is true, but Sakura made a small gesture, letting lose her spirit to strengthen the guards, Just in case something happens; I’ve promised to protect you.
We’ll be fine, as long as you’re watching over us in our hearts. Now please, go!
Sakura bowed again in thanks, running toward the entrance of the lower caves. She passed the rows of houses, feeling everyone’s presence; all sound asleep. Would they be alright? Leaving them was like leaving a kitten in the rain; cold and unprotected
But she would fight only till it was her last option. She promised her people that
Gerald, the priest, watched as the door finally fell open. Taking in another deep breath, he bellowed another command, Alright! Get in there and find the demon! We must save this town from the evil tyrant!
With that said, the mass of men charged into the city
Eight year-old Miyu hid behind a pillar, watching the evil looking people run back and forth, bursting into houses and pillaging buildings. They were obviously looking for something but what?
Well, well, well. Somebody should be in bed now, shouldn’t she? A voice said from behind Miyu. Fear struck her heart, numbing her body. She didn’t dare look back she wanted to cry
Go back home, little runt. I’ve got no time to take care of you.
‘Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone ’ Miyu thought. She was scared, and she was sniffing already.
Oi, I said get moving, the man said more fiercely, kicking Miyu from behind.
Just as Miyu felt the pain, she snapped. She turned at bit the man’s leg.
What in blazes the man shouted, drawing his dagger. Miyu didn’t notice the weapon. She continued to cling onto the man’s leg. She tasted blood seeping into her mouth, but it didn’t feel like it was coming from her biting
The dagger had dug deep into her head, numbing her nerves, giving her a quick and painless death. The rogue pulled out his dagger and licked off the blood. Tch, what waste of time, he mumbled to himself.
Sakura felt it. Somebody faded away from her presence, unable to locate her. Sakura searched desperately, but couldn’t find the missing soul. All the guards were still within reach .
No somebody died?
Hopping down the Buddha statue, Sakura ran back up to the village
‘Please let it be a mistake, please let it be a mistake ’ Sakura begged helplessly.
She came up to the last flight of steps
and saw the attackers rampaging her little town.
They broke down doors, burst through walls, tore the floor inside out, lifting every lose board and brick in the area. The startled occupants of the houses awoke with a start, finding men in groups of fives rummaging their house. One person even went so far as to fight back with his katana. His head flew twenty metres away from him as a monk struck him with a single blow from his palm.
No this wasn’t what the priest promised they were just looking for her, they shouldn’t be involved
She swore that she would protect her people, and protect them she shall.
The monk turned toward the rest of the family, hunched in a fighting stance. The wife of the decapitated man clutched her child tightly, hoping her end would be swift
Sakura slapped the monk into the wall, forcing him into the next house. Blood and flesh spilled away from the monk, leaving a bloody red trail. The woman with her child looked up, seeing Sakura in front of her. She wanted to smile, but couldn’t help but think of what just happened to her husband.
This was too much they came, claiming they were helping them. Now they destroy their houses, break everything in it and even kill them. This was too much it was unacceptable.
Sakura left the house, stalking the other invaders. She crept behind a knight, unnoticed by him. She thrust her arm into his back, pulling out a blood soaked chunk of meat the knight’s heart.
The sage in front of the knight gasped, watching her comrade fall to the floor. Sakura watched her back off for a second, then lunged towards her, biting a large portion of her neck off.
Revenge was still not in place. She ran off, leaving the Sage to clutch at what was left of her neck, slowly bleeding to death. She found another group about to break into another house, when they found themselves getting crushed under the balcony roof. Sakura had removed the pillar supporting it, and used it like a mace, smashing the rubble till a pool of red appeared. One hand twitched amidst the rubble, and Sakura pulled it off the arm. He wasn’t going to get any help anytime soon.
She went all over Payon, killing and slaughtering everyone she met. She left no survivors, no one to tell the tale. Her killing frenzy got worse and worse as she saw and tasted more blood. They were all so weak, so easy to beat. She wanted more. She wanted a challenge. She wanted
No; she wanted to protect her people her friends her loved ones
She snapped out of her frenzy, blinking around. Everyone was dead the attackers, the defenders, even the citizens of Payon. Men, woman and children littered the floor, bits and pieces spread all around Sakura.
‘I I did this ?’ Sakura asked herself.
No it can’t be no this isn’t happening she didn’t kill them she didn’t
Someone grabbed her leg. It was a little girl, her face slashed and her left eye was gone. Why she whispered, Why did you She let go, but her hand was still holding onto Sakura’s leg. She was dead.
No it wasn’t her it couldn’t have
NOOOOOO!!!!! Sakura’s scream echoed throughout the cave, only to be heard by the Smokies and Familiars above.
Sakura tore of Ninetail’s skin off, cremating the rest of her body. She dried it, then tore a hole on the underside of the head. She wore it like a mask, putting on Ninetail’s arms and legs. She took a long pole with a ring on it, searching for the Payon temple. She removed the White Moon Bell and attached it to her pole.
I’ll be back, she promised, I’ll repay my sins then I could face you again, my people
She looked at her Ninetail’s skin wrapped around her limbs. They were grave reminders of what happened in Payon. She wouldn’t let herself go into a frenzy again, even if the pain was too great. It would serve as punishment for what she had done
She didn’t like her old name anymore. It was too tainted with the sins she had just done. She didn’t like living with those memories
She was born under the moonlight, and she was named after a flower
She had chosen her name. From that day forth, she would be the Moonlight Flower. She buried Sakura and Payon, walking into the lush green forest
