Prologue: Shadow’s Embrace (Part 2)

Prologue: Shadow’s Embrace (Part 2)

Aug 07, 2024

Tannen was taken aback by the unexpected spectacle that suddenly materialized in front of him. Naoki and Kira, with an almost synchronized grace, transformed into a mesmerizing display of crimson-hued power. In a brilliant display of magic, the twins morphed into massive Eastern dragons, one fiery red and the other vibrant green. The majestic creatures, now towering in front of Tannen, gave off a loud roar as energy swirled along its emerald scales. Next to him, the red dragon, Kira, coiled and released a mesmerizing display of crimson-hued power.

"Flowers, disco ball drones, and now dragons? Is Rare organizing an enchanted zoo? " Tannen bickered. "Next, unicorns who can juggle fireballs? Things are getting out of control here."

Taken aback, Tannen altered his course to confront the unanticipated difficulty posed by the powerful twin dragons. As the dragons got ready for a stunning aerial showdown, the sky transformed into a legendary arena. He shifted in the air, bracing himself for the whimsical mayhem that appeared to be escalating beyond his wildest dreams.

"Miyu, hopefully you packed your parachute! Time for a breathtaking waterfall plunge.

"Are you serious? Miyu let out a gasp.

With a sudden burst of unexpected theatrics, Tannen whimsically dropped Miyu from the skies while twirling his scythe broom with flair. Miyu shrieked and the twin dragons, taken aback by this playful move, exchanged confused looks.

There was a whimsical pause in the enchanting aerial dance as the majestic Eastern dragons were momentarily confused by the unexpected move. Miyu was taken off guard by the sudden plunge and let out a terrified yet hilarious scream. She was able to shout back at Tannen in the midst of the confusion.

“The itinerary didn't include this, Tannen! Dragon skydiving was not included in the package of wonderful adventures!" Miyu said.

With a twinkle in his eyes, Tannen deftly guided his scythe broom around the two Eastern dragons as Miyu proceeded to descend. The dragons were entangled in their attempts to track his movements. Naoki and Kira exchanged bewildered roars that seemed to reflect a combination of surprise and enjoyment as they became involved in an unexpected dance.

"Well, honey, this is quite the turn of events. Naoki laughed, "Maybe we need more practice with aerial synchronization.

"I agree, sweetheart. The red dragon Kira huffed playfully, "Next time, let's stick to fire-breathing drills instead of aerial acrobatics."

Tannen tried to catch Miyu with his scythe broom, but Duke Marbellis stopped him with a crackling display of lightning bolts in the sky. Tannen strained to release himself from Duke Marbellis's unexpected hold. With its rider missing, the scythe broom started to tumble from the skies, further destabilizing the already chaotic situation. Tension crackled in the air as the politician held on.

"You believed you could dance across the heavens and get away from my family's control? Marbellis gave a smirk.

Tannen was imprisoned in the Duke's ruthless grip and had to withstand the intense assault. Unexpectedly, Tannen, the skeleton detective, had to make a last-ditch decision. His skeletal face was etched with determination as he voluntarily sacrificed a portion of himself to escape Marbellis' grip. With a flick of his magical command, Tannen, now free of Duke Marbellis, summoned his scythe broom back to him as he dropped through the skies. Without any effort, the broom flew back into his hand.

As Tannen caught Miyu in midair, they had an unplanned reunion. With a mixture of amazement and determination on their faces, they looked back and saw all six of their siblings following closely behind them. With a note of gratitude for Tannen's sacrifice, Miyu could not help but look at his skeletal appearance.

"You're missing about half of your torso," Miyu said, looking worried.

Tannen answered with a casual smile, "Don't worry, I've got a bone to pick with anyone who gets in our way."

Tannen realized they were getting close to leaving the city limits as she and Miyu carried on their getaway. But before they could fully escape, Mr. Rare changed into a giant to obstruct their way in a cunning show of dominance.

"You can't get away from me. I've already destroyed and recreated this planet ten times." Rare evilly laughed. "Now, I seek to repeat the cycle. I am a cosmic architect rewriting the tapestry of existence."

"Tannen, what do we do? He is too strong!" Miyu worried.

His words weighed heavily, casting a shadow over Tannen and Miyu as they faced the fearsome entity who aspired to remake the world in cycles. Tannen realized something extreme was needed in response to Mr. Rare's enormous stature.

Tannen mumbled, "I have no choice but to deploy the Arcane Barrier.

When they got to Starlight City's edge, Tannen became ready to make the ultimate sacrifice because he was driven by willpower. He created an immense Arcane Barrier that engulfed the entire city in an amazing feat of magic. Enormous crystals fell from the sky, encircling Starlight City in an unbreakable circle. Mr. Rare and his six children were unable to escape since the barrier kept them inside. As a final line of defense against the demonic family's impending danger, the city was engulfed in the mystical energy of Tannen's formidable barrier.

"What?" Rare yelled.

Now that he was confined to Starlight City, Mr. Rare lost his temper. Erupting in a fit of rage, he pounded on the supernatural barrier. Mr. Rare, fuming with frustration and fury, turned to face Miyu, who was standing just outside the barrier of safety.

"You may have thwarted my plans, but the repercussions will follow you no matter what, my dear." Rare looked aside and mumbled, "This is not the end."

It may not be the end, but it is a new beginning. "I promise to save everyone, including my parents, one day," Miyu proclaimed with unyielding resolve.

Miyu was walking away from the mystical barrier when she noticed Tannen's robe lying on the ground. She thought he was gone, and then Tannen appeared as a skull, breaking the serious mood with his hilarious appearance.

"Miyu, try not to cry too much. I remain here. Sort of, but I have some bad news," Tannen said, a ghastly smile growing on his bony skull. From now on, my abilities will be somewhat restricted. Hey, I can give counsel every now and then. similar to a ghostly, eerie life coach."

Miyu nodded, feeling both relieved and laughing at the same time. "Well, I guess having a spectral life coach is better than nothing. Thanks, Tannen."

Standing outside the mystical barrier, Miyu and Tannen looked at the skeletal detective with a determined gaze. The incongruous pair, one with limited powers and the other with a determined attitude, were ready to confront the obstacles that awaited them outside the city limits.

Miyu enquired, "Tannen, what do I need to do to defeat Rare and save my parents?"

"The Seiso's, four magical girls representing the four seasons, will be your strength to face Rare and undo the darkness he's unleashed. Gather and awaken them, and together, you'll have the strength to defeat Rare."

As Miyu took in the knowledge, her resolve grew stronger.

"I'll find the Seiso's... the power of the seasons, and put an end to this."

"And here's the thing, Miyu. You're a Seiso, which is why Rare wanted you captured. You're also crucial in gathering the strength to stop him and bring balance back."

The weight of her destiny rested on Miyu's shoulders, but her determination only grew as her eyes widened with awareness.

Miyu nodded, "I'll find the other Seiso's and together we'll stop Rare and save my parents. I won't let him succeed."

After she disappears into the distance, the action shifts to a high school in the present, where Miyu is sitting on the bleachers thinking to herself while a soccer match starts on the field

As Tannen and Miyu face the twin Eastern dragons, Tannen humorously laments the escalating absurdity of their adversaries, pondering if Rare is planning a "magical zoo." Amid the chaos, Tannen performs a dramatic maneuver, dropping Miyu from the sky to disorient the dragons. The dragons, momentarily confused, engage in a comical aerial dance with Tannen.

However, Duke Marbellis interrupts the chase, using lightning bolts to capture Tannen, who sacrifices part of his skeletal body to break free. Despite the setback, Tannen rescues Miyu and continues their escape. As they near the city’s edge, Mr. Rare transforms into a giant, blocking their path and revealing his plan to rewrite existence.

In response, Tannen casts a powerful Arcane Barrier, trapping Rare and his children's within Starlight City to protect the outside world. Despite Rare’s fury and ominous warnings, Miyu remains determined to rescue her parents and confront Rare. Tannen, now a spectral figure with limited powers, advises Miyu to gather the Seiso's, magical girls representing the four seasons to defeat Rare.

With newfound resolve, Miyu leaves to find the Seiso’s, while the scene transitions to her sitting on a school bleacher, reflecting on the upcoming challenges as a soccer game plays on the field.
