Silver Sky

Chapter 1

Great heavenly palaces once glowing with divine might now dim and broken floated amongst the clouds. The shattered remains of countless warriors lay upon the countless palaces. Above the palaces and dead warriors was a colossal gate that seemed to stand outside of space and time. On that peerless gate was a shallow gash. Below the gate stood a fatally wounded man. The man’s body was in tatters and he stood staring at the gate his gaze filled with a endless hatred.

"I'm sorry master! I have failed to live up to your expectations! I'm sorry my brothers and sisters for leaving you behind! I'm sorry my blade for falling here when I promised we would slay the very heavens! I'm sorry Nuia foe failing to reunite with you at the final step!" The man wailed with regret. With the last words spoken he closed his eyes as his soul began to dissipate. Before his soul vanished time, space, and even reality itself came to a complete stop. Suddenly a young woman appeared out of thin air.

"Ah, my poor stupid disciple," The woman said in an exasperated tone. "You think apologizing will get you off the hook!" The woman said as she walked over and stood over the man's body. She waives he her hand causing the body to turn to ash leaving A glimmering blade and a wisp of soul. "Father! I have a request!" The woman yelled followed by silence. "Father! Answer me!" She nearly screamed. A low sigh came from every direction.

"Little one it is against the heavenly laws to do what you ask," A calm deep voice sounded out.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? You made the heavenly laws you greedy old man!" She sneered.

"Now is that the way to talk to your father! Especially when asking for a favor!" The ethereal voice sounded out.

"Do I need to to get mother and my aunties to talk some sense into you?" The young woman threatened.

"No need for that. Fine, you get your way but I want you to come back home for awhile your mother's misses you," The voice responded in defeat. The young woman smiled amplifying her beauty.

"Heh, I knew you would cave!" The woman gloated before turning back towards the frozen wisp of soul. "This time try not to be so reckless and impatient my dumb little disciple," she murmured before an otherworldly energy enveloped the world. "Shatter space and time turn black to white! Reverse yin and yang break life and death! Surpass the heavenly laws and be reborn!" The woman chanted as she cut her finger and dripped a drop of her blood onto the wisp of soul.

As the blood fused with the soul reality began to warp causing the soul to vanish. Once the soul was gone the woman turned her gaze to the shimmering blade. "Do you want to follow?" She asked the blade. In response, the blade let out a light hum. "Good, it may take many years but you will be reunited with your master that I promise," she swore before turning around and vanishing.
