Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2012 09:31:41 -0400 (EDT) From: Bunny Tsukino <bunnyempire@aol.com> Subject: Shinning Will This story will have time traveling, magic, sword fighting, spear training, dagger sharpening, punching competitions, glaring, incoherent babbling, cursing in foreign languages, sex, explosions, space travel, alternate dimensions, freezing, time freezing, death, and reincarnation. If miss anything well tell me.... sorry... hahaha.... and i will only be writing about the male on male sex. The others disturb me in ways. So as a disclaimer this story is false. Names and places are only used as settings and therefore can be changed to my liking lol.This is primarily an adventure story, but there will still be some depictions of sexual activity between guys (eventually) Similarly, if you have a problem with this on the grounds of your personal morality, consider yourself warned now, and if you decide to read it anyway, please don't bother writing to me to complain about it later! Hi! Nice to meet you guys. This story is hopefully going to be something I stick for a very long time. It follows the story of John/Raina/Alexis and the rest of his friends. His soul mate is still debate to me at the moment. Well lets see what you guys think. Some different parts of the story will be in different perspectives. Third and First person will be used. Since John/Raina/Alexis is the main character he will be, of course, first. Third is the other people. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- For thousands of years a small group of people have protected the world from destruction. Even as the years pass by the world is unaware of the struggles, sacrifices, and hardships the groups have had to bear. They watch from he shadows. As time goes on they die and for a time peace is seen across the land. However that peace is normal outside of the groups. The world is ignorant to how many times it would have ended if it wasn't to their shadowy defenders. As of 2012 there have been over ten-thousand members since the earth was created. All but eight remain. Keeping the world safe in the shadows. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- John/Alexis Chapter One Awakening *Drip* "What was that?" *Drip* I look around and see nothing but darkness. I couldn't even see myself. My arm's. Legs. I could feel them, move them. But not see them. 'Was I dreaming?' 'Of course you are silly!' A girls voice giggled. 'If you were awake, I couldn't talk to you.' I moved my hands to my face. My eyes weren't open. I did my best to open them but they wouldn't budge. No matter how hard I tried. I opened my mouth and started moving my lips but nothing came out. *Drip* Another giggle. 'It's been a long time. Alexis. So speak inside your mind.' *Drip* What? Did she mean think? No. If she did mean think that would mean she could read my mind. Seeing as she was silent meant that I was not speaking in my mind. The voice sighed. 'Just clear your mind and imagine your thoughts floating in the darkness.' Slightly annoyed tone. *Drip* I cleared my mind and focused my thoughts. "What's the dripping sound?" 'Finally! I thought my reincarnation was a stupid one....' Reincarnation? 'The dripping is the sound of our magic -your- magic coming out. Slowly' Magic? This was definitely a dream. "Shouldn't my dreams be more colorful?" *Drip* 'Well this really isn't a dream. More like our soul is starting to become complete.' Well I did have weird dreams occasionally. Some of them were just of darkness like it was now. Though the voice was different. 'Our soul?' *Drip* Something was happening. My body felt like something was pulling it. It didn't even respond to me. "Don't worry. Your going to wake up. I'll talk to you soon. Alexis." In the center of the darkness was a light. Growing brighter and brighter. 'My name isn't Alexis. It's John." A giggle. 'For now it's John. But you know, Alexis, is who you are. The first time I said it you said nothing.' The last part was hard to hear since the voice was fading. *Ring* I clenched my eyes and moved my body to the side. what was that annoying sound? *Ring* Moving my hand I found a pillow and tossed it where that annoying sound was coming from. There was a crash and I growled. Stupid weird dreams. I sat up on the bed and gave a stretch before I opened my eyes. "Good morning world...." I fell back on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. "Another day of studying huh?" I closed my eyes one more time and I thought I heard another drip. I shook my head. My imagination again. I, John Valentine, was a second year student at a local community college in good old Nevada. Worked part time at a nearby repair shop to earn money for school. Lived in a small studio apartment, with my puppy. Even though things were tight and a little hard I wouldn't want things any other way. Because I knew things would have been easier if I didn't tell my family that I was gay. I didn't want to lie to my family any longer. They had to know and when I told the I was kicked out and banned from the family. But it was okay. My friends helped me out here and there when I needed it. I zipped up my sweater as I reach the bus stop. Pretty chilly recently. *Drip* I raised my eyebrow. Taking a look up at the sky I saw a few dark clouds but no rain yet. Then what was that dripping sound? The dream? I shook my head. i was being stupid. At five o'clock in the morning the streets were slightly busy. Everyone seemed to have a car at this hour and no one was waiting for the bus but me. I gave a little shiver as the wind blew. I loved cold weather even if it was freezing my balls off. Too bad I had no one waiting for me back home to warm me up aside from my puppy. I found her a few days ago in an alleyway nearly dead. Thankfully I got to her in time and was able to treat her. A veterinarian was impressed by how the puppy was doing. However she was still sick. So I had to give her a pill each day to make her go to sleep so she wouldn't be in too much pain. I called her Faith. Since I have faith that she will be okay. I let my breath out and watch it visibly. Man it was really cold. Wished I had a scarf or something. "Cold isn't it?" I looked to the side and was surprised that there were two people sitting down on the bench. More surprised that the girl who just spoke was wearing a skirt. A fucking skirt and a shirt that revealed much of her skin. "Yeah..." How the hell wasn't she turning blue like I was? The guy next to her wasn't wearing a sweater either. Blonde girl and red-haired guy. She seemed to be shorter than me by an inch or two, her legs were long and tanned like the rest of her. The guy had long legs as her but his face was paler than hers but tanner than mine. It looked like he was pretty built. Like he worked out but not obsessively. My small gaydar wasn't going off so I doubted he was gay. He lit a cigarette and took a puff. "Gah hate the cold weather." He seemed to have some sort of accent but it was looking like it was fading away. The girl giggled and looked at me, tilting her head. "Do you like the cold weather?" "Yeah... you?" I rubbed my hands and blew on them. She shook her head. "More of a sunny day at the beach kinda girl." She stood up and I really was surprised she wasn't blue. Her skirt was really short. *Drip* Where the hell was that coming from? "Do you guys here a dripping sound?" I stuck my hand out from under the bus stop and no water hit my hand. When I looked at them the girl was smiling. "Maybe." Before I could say anything the bus started coming. "Have a good day at school... John." She walked away with the guy in tow before I could ask how she knew my name. I would have followed them but I really had to get to class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You sure it was a good idea for us to see him?" Luke tossed his cigarette on the floor and put his hands inside his pockets. He stepped on the bud and continued to walk. "Course it was. He needed money. Did you see how thin he was?" Rika crossed her arms over her chest. "He didn't even notice me slipping him the money." "Well he is a full magic user. Of course he will be thin. Like you." Rika rolled her eyes. "I'm a wind magic specialist and a ninja, thank you very much." She sighed. "Like you are a specialist in fire magic. But he is different. He has all magical energies in him, which is good and bad. He needs to eat more." They stopped in front of a stop light. There wasn't any cars but they wanted to waste time. They were going to be in Vegas for a while. "it's a good thing he is awakening though. We can't do much in his territory until he awakens." "Who is going to be his partner?" She rolled her eyes. Like he didn't know. "Alisa is with me and Emiko is with you. Who else is left dumbass?" "Harvey." "kinda funny if you think about it. The first of us gets paired up with the last of us." The light turned green and they started walking. "Are they really bonded?" She nodded. "Just like we are with our pairs. we have come in pairs as always. we are generally close to our pair... or annoyed in Emiko's case." Luke chuckled. It wasn't his fault that he was a happy go lucky guy and Emiko was a serious type. "So they on a date?" "Well they should be in Paris so I'm guessing so." "Still can't believe Harvey and Alisa are dating. But I guess since they are the strongest out of all of us, they would have a lot in common." Rika chuckled. "Well physically they are the strongest but magically they are sitting ducks." They could destroy houses and small building with a single blow but magically.... They could barely cast a small elemental spell. "So what do you think his weapon is going to be?" They all had different weapons. That she had wondered about. "Well that one is a tough one. But it would have to be magically related since he isn't a physical fighter. So maybe a staff?" "Probably. Lets go back to camp. I think that witch is speeding up her spell." "Okay." Hopefully she wasn't. Their power was weakened since the territory hasn't been awakened with its master. If she tried something now they were going to have a hard time fighting her. They couldn't call for back up. If they did their magic would have been weaken further. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ugh." I sat down next to Fran as I opened up my backpack. Hopefully my sandwich didn't get squished again. "Rough day?" Fran took a sip of her hot chocolate before taking a bite from her cookie. Rough day? That was an understatement. More like hell. "Yeah, four tests today and I have a project due in two weeks." Fucking report on the French Revolution. "Oh that sucks but your getting nominated for that scholarship aren't you?" The Ultimate Achiever Scholarship. The only way to get nominated for that is to have a perfect GPA and to write a very long essay. "Yeah..." That was weird. There were three one hundred dollar bills next to my sandwich. Thankfully it wasn't squished. But where did the money come from? "Oh almost forgot....... here you go." Fran took something out of her purse and handed it to me. My glasses. "Thanks. It was hard trying to read the board without these." I put them on and my vision was a little blurry. Weird, I just changed the prescription a few weeks ago. *Drip* I looked up and there was still no rain. But something was feeling off. "Did your hair get a little longer?" Fran reached over and touched my hair. It was brown like my mothers and it curled just like hers when it got long. I kept it short since I didn't want to think about her. "What?" I took a moved a piece of my hair and yup it had gotten a little longer. It was started to pass my eyebrows too. strange... "Man today is just getting weird." "More weird dreams?" "Yeah, people, and sounds." I still wondered on how they knew my name. "What do... Hey look snow!" Fran got up and smiled. I looked up. Yup snow. But how? It rarely snowed. It felt stranger. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Hya!" Dodging to the side Rika took out her dagger and infused her wind magic into it. "Wind Blade!" With a quick slice on the ground she sent a sharp force straight at the shadowy figure. It disappeared with a howl. "Burn baby!" Luke pulled his spear from the howling monster and watched it disappear in a fiery smoke. He rested the spear on his shoulder as it smoldered with fire. "That bitch really wants to die... Those things trashed our food." "Wait.... if she found us then... Shit!" Rika went into the mess that was her tent and took out her car keys. "He needs us!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I held my head as it started to burn. Fuck. Was I getting sick or something? It was a little nagging pain before but now... A few people gave me strange looks as I walked past them. I was starting to sweat. My sweater and clothes were starting to make me really hot. *Trickle* I stopped and closed my eyes. I didn't know why I did it but I did. I felt myself being pulled somewhere and my body allowed itself to be pulled. I couldn't even fight back a little. There was a sound of a stream or something in the background. But this was Vegas. Why would a stream or river be nearby? "Wake up!" But I wasn't asleep... so why would I need to wake up? "Wake up please..." The voice sounded sad. Who was it that was sad? I was awake wasn't I? So why was the voice sad? "That that sweater off him. He's getting hot in that thing." There was a grunt and a shriek. I felt something lift off me and the pressure on me fade slightly. Wait. There was pressure on me? 'You need to get up Alexis.' But I'm not.... Alexis. 'Yes you are! So get up!' Why was it impatient? Bang. Shriek. Smash. I'm... John.... 'Not any more... Alexis Cleito.... wake up...' The voice drifted off. 'I, Alexis Cleito, will not let you destroy my kingdom!' It was... the same voice... but sounded different.. Taking a deep breath I opened my eyes and was startled at what I was watching. The girl and guy from before were fighting some weird dark things. Red eyes, radiating darkness, long arms, and claws. "John! Run!" The girl used the dagger in her hand and sliced upward into the monster and it vanished in darkness. I was about to run but my body stopped. 'You will not run! I will not let you! We shall never run!' The girls voice again. 'I won't let you take it.... I'll.... wash... it... all... away...' Same voice... but sounded different. My head started burning. My right eye felt like it was burning. I put my hand over it and felt something hot and wet coming out of it. I barely got my left eye open from the pain and saw blood. 'Say.... Twilight.... Flash....' The voice got faint again. Almost tired. My eye kept burning but it was starting to dull. "Twi-Twilight Flash." Nothing happened. Well something did happen and that was me feeling stupid for saying it as my eye was burning out of my head. 'Say it... with light... in your mind...' Even more tired now. Faint. It was stupid but why didn't I feel stupid? I was missing a lot of things but. Why did I want to do it? Why wasn't I freaked out more? I ignored the pain and let my bloody hand fall to the side and focused on light. It was easy. My whole head was filled with it. All sorts of lights. "Twilight...." It felt... like I was floating. "Flash!" Even with my eyes closed I saw a flash of light and then a few screams. The lights in my head faded and soon. Darkness. I felt like I was falling but something caught me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "He's awakened." The old man smiled. Everything was starting to fall into place. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Yes... okay... bye..." Rika tossed her cell phone to the side and put a hand over John's head. "They felt his power. Pretty strong to reach them on the other side of the world." "Not surprised, since he is a full magic user." Luke gave into the pulling on his leg and petted the little puppy. "But why did he go to those daimon?" Rika gave a sigh. "Yeah. His body was reacting to the negativity and wanted to fight it even if it couldn't. Thankfully, we got there just in time as his awakening started." A second late and the daimon would have killed him. The awakening left them exposed as their power returned. Ironically it left them the weakest as it made them stronger. "How's his eye?" "Silver. Weirdly enough his magic has given him heterochromia iridum." One eye blue the other brown. Which was strange. John's previous life didn't have that. So why would this life have it? People generally looked the same. "Raina didn't have it so why does he?" "Mutation?" "I don't know Luke I don't know." Rika opened the eye again and was entranced by the way it shimmered. Could they have been wrong about the reincarnation of Raina? Did someone else reincarnate into John? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So..... I protect the world?" This was strange but why did it felt like I knew this? "Well..." Alexis played with a strand of long brown hair. It seemed to stop at her waist. She was about the same height as me but she looked the same height as the other girl. Wait. Did I get shorter now? "Yes and no. You have other duties." "Like?" "I can't tell you. Since I forgot. It's been a really long time since I was awake. Your my first reincarnation. Maybe my -our- only." "Last? Reincarnation?" "The people who protect the world in secret, with their powers, can reincarnate. It could take centuries, days, years, or seconds for them to come back. Or in my case 11000 years." She took a deep breath. She was wearing a small silk dress. She was lightly tanned like I was, also with soft skin. Or looked like soft skin. "I think you and I only revive when we are really needed." "Do you know why we are really needed?" She shook her head. "So what are the two peoples name's who were fighting?" "The boys's name is Luke and the girls name is Rika. They are members of the Aconite Blade. They ride they world of poison. Negativity." "Are we members too?" She shook her head. "We are hail from somewhere else but I used to help them on occasion though. For the time being you should join them." How strange her eye's were different color. "Why do I feel calm and not freaked out?" She giggled. "Because in your heart of hearts knew already. Now you have to do me a favor." "What?" "Do not tell them of our -your- real name." She smiled. "Alexis Cleito." Felt weird to think that as my name but okay. "Why?" "It's a secret." She closed her eye and the area around us started losing light. "You have to wake up. Our time together is growing short. We are becoming one slowly and that takes away our time." "But-" "There's a magical book that Rika has that will help you with magic." "I-" "I will give you your weapon soon. You still need to increase your magical capacity." She giggled. "One Twilight flash per day now." She started fading away. "But-" "Believe in yourself. Pri-" I couldn't hear the rest of what she was saying as my eyes opened on their own. I was looking at the ceiling of my apartment. "Oh your awake." I looked over to the side and saw Rika and Luke sitting down on the floor. Sitting upright on my bed I rubbed my eyes. "Yeah. Thanks for the help. Rika. Luke." They both look surprised for a second but smiled. "Nice to have you back, Raina." "Good to be back." -=*=- Okay well.... that's the first chapter... Reviews would be nice... kinda would like to know how you guys like it so far.... Each character will have a part of the story involving them. Going into their back story and more information on the Aconite blade. By the way Aconite is a really deadly poison. Hopefully I will be able to set up better magical action scenes. Any ideas on the magical weapon? I'm thinking wand or magical guns.
