Note: This is the prologue of two following short stories of the day Gades and Yula meet. The first will be a rather emo version of Gades sharing his view on that moment, and the second will be from Yula's point of view. I hope you can tolerate the upcoming angst.
“Ever Since that day...
Ever Since that unspeakable day....
I was…”
Introduction:
Pain
One fateful day, the secluded village of Sithro was covered in shadow by the clouds above. The humble abode of the Rubiss family was especially shrouded in darkness within.
In one spacious room, one small boy desperately clung onto a bigger girl.
The little boy was an innocent barely past two years of his life. He had short, raven-black hair and shining, desperate ruby red eyes. He wore a big, crimson-colored robe that appeared baggy as it sagged around his body.
The older girl was more quiet and solemn-looking. She too had raven-black hair and ruby red eyes however, her hair was long and flowing, and merely a glint of her ruby eyes shone through her long black bangs. She wore a loose, olive-green robe.
For awhile, the young boy softly tugged at her sister’s sleeve while she simply stood by in silence with her head lowered. Soon, the young boy began to speak in the adopted tongue of his people.
“Please… won’t you play with me, Sister?” he pleaded in a soft voice. “I… want to have fun with…. Won’t you please… play with me?”
For a few more moments, the young girl simply stood there silently, like a statue. The little boy then inched closer gripped her arm. The older girl shifted her eyes slightly to see he was hugging her.
“I’m… glad that we can finally be together like this, Sister. I can finally know you…” he said gratefully.
Upon hearing this, the girl’s body began trembling. The shaking gradually intensified as time passed, until finally, she stiffened her body once more.
The young boy felt a sudden chill in his heart and backed away slowly.
“Sister… are you okay?”
The girl clenched her fists. Her body quickly turned around and forced the boy away from her. The young boy tried to reach out for his sister, but was immediately dealt a hard blow to his cheek.
His ruby eyes glared in horror as he his sister stared back with a cold, intense gaze. Two separate tears fell from his big ruby eyes as he felt the resulting bruise with his left hand.
Immediately, the young boy received a sharp, violent thought from her, which easily tore his gentle heart asunder.
She then turned around completely and began heading towards the door, leaving the sad child alone as if it was none of her concern. The young boy tried desperately to reach out to his sister once more, but to his shock, he sensed a chilling aura form around her. The freezing aura continued to intensify as it envelope the young girl until it effectively isolated the younger sibling.
The mixture of blatant and subtle pains immediately took its toll on the boy. He found himself distant from the joys he once felt with his former carefree innocence. He felt the need for his soft voice fade from this world as cruelty choked him. Most of all, he felt his strong empathy crushed beneath rejection.
All that remained in the house that day was a somber little boy who continued to cry silent tears of sorrow.
Ending Notes: Man. This is supposed to be a major plot point for someone's back history, and I'm spoiling it so fast on the internet! This blows! Oh well, at least it makes a pretty interesting stand-alone story. Some who do not know this "Gades Rubiss", or the ruby-eyed boy in this story, may wonder how it affected his upbrining. But be patient. You'll find out the rest of the story soon...
