Annie Romona's Story

"And that's why im Here But enough with me....Whats with that mark that was on his hand? " She asked slowly as she was making herself a Sandwich. "It cant be a birth mark because I would had noticed it before he collapsed but it was only there after he collapsed so don't try to screw with me. Either answer the question truthfully or Don't answer at all." She said Coldly and Seriously just Finishing the Sandwich she was making.

Lucian shrugged. "I have no idea." His eyes didn't tell anything. Someone like him is an excellent liar, and he told lies often. "I have never seen his mark before."

"Oh.." Well... I look like a dumbass... Asher thought. "Um... I guess I can join... I have this knack for fighting, especially with stealth and tactics. Is that good?"

"His?" Annie turned to face Lucian "HIS MARK BEFORE? DON'T TORO MERTA ME IDIOTA " She yelled at him as if she was looking at his soul. Annie bit her Tongue and turned her face and body away. " Don't screw with me " She said coldly as she picked up her Sandwich. " I have to calm down " I thought to myself "Just calm down "I continued thinking until I was calm and Collected enough to talk to him again and so I turned to him again. " I didn't want a Lie... I told you not to answer at all if you couldn't manage that...and yet......You WERE A IGNORANT CHILD " She YELLED at him again. " I obviously can't trust any one of you Culo Fori's. " She muttered to herself as she walked away Enraged with Him.

Lucian smirked. "La mia, la mia... Che lingua hai lì, signorina. Torna qui, e ti dirò. Tuttavia, non voglio parlare in qualsiasi lingua normale, e dovrete fare qualche ricerca in questa casa per scoprire che cosa esattamente marchio Asher è." (Rough translation in Google Translate. >.>) Lucian said in fluent Italian. And with that, he turned around and started walking, tossing a note into the air that would somehow find it's way into Annie's hand.

Before he actually left the hallway, Lucian added in a dark tone, "A proposito, non mi chiami mai un bambino. Sono più vecchio di quanto si pensi. Ora, se avrai bisogno di me, sarò recante indizi nascosti."

The note Lucian had tossed said
"Once upon a time, this land was ruled by a tyrant, soon to be killed after a hundred years and a million deaths. The people who killed him took the throne, but stood down after the people rebelled. The insignia on the brief king's sword was..."
Under the words, it had the symbol that was similar to Asher's: a flame entrapped in ice.

" So you do know " She smirked as she reads the note and then puts it in her Pocket. " If only you could set those clues faster " She called out to him With a Intrigued and Angered voice. Annie takes a bite of her sandwich. " I wont NEED you I'll Simply be wondering where you are. " She said to herself Like it was going to be easy and she took another bite at her sandwich to not feel the bread but to find she already ate it. " Great " She said Laughing again she felt compelled to pull out that note and look at that Image again so She did staring at the Image and Repeated that Story in her head Until she could tell you where the Comas and Periods were,Staring at the Image until she could draw it and See it in her head when she closed her eyes if she wanted to." WHOA " she said as her head started to hurt so she put the note away in her butt pocket and sat down in a chair waiting for it to pass " I've just been over thinking this " She reassured herself as the Pain stopped quickly.

"ARE YOU READY YET? " She called out impatiently to Lucian.... "Either way gotta start somewhere " I said standing up out of the chair and I walked down the hall in the way I think He took off in.

Suddenly, a ghostly figure, only able to be seen by Annie, walked by and paid no attention to her. It looked like Asher, only more serious and colder. He had a sword in his hand, and on the back of his robe was the insignia from the note. The image shouted. "Where are you, Lucian?"

After a few minutes of silence, the ghostly figure kept walking. However, it turned and went straight upstairs.

Lucian smiled as he started to manipulate the darkness and create illusions. The first part was Asher in the past, during the Dark Ages. It was one of those times in which he had to look for him, like Annie has to look for Lucian now.

" So you are ready " She Smirked again as she crept slowly up the stairs wondering where that figure came from. Where did you get to? " She said calmly as she poked her head just over the floor level upstairs so she could see where That ghostly figure got to.

" Hello? " She called out as she continued up the steps not seeing the figure anywhere but feeling watched. " So he's up Here somewhere then? Sounds easy enough " She thought in her head as she walked into the nearest room that looked like a Library with a TON of books.

The ghost of Asher stood in the center of the room, his sword out and looking around for something. Then he looked as if he sensed some movement, and froze the air to make an icicle and throw it. The image had gotten stuck on a book. Again, the same mark in the note.

"What the? " She said confused as she stood up walking over to the Book and took it from the shelf. But the question blazed through her head " Are they some sort of elementals or...something More? " She asked herself in her head as she took the book from the shelf " Well then that makes it easy " She said Questioning why he made it so easy for her but shrugged it off.

The book was old, and had burn marks in some parts. The cover showed a symbol on it, as well as a title. The symbol was a Yin-Yang, and the title was "Journal of the Voice of Treason"

Opening to the first page, there was no date, nor were there any way to tell time. The entry stated:

It's time. I have my whole army up, if not then nearly everything is complete. The HQ is livelier today. That's good. I have just recruited three new rebels. It's sad, really. Their village was burned down by the royal army, most likely for no reason except hiding. The three consisted of two boys and one girl.

The boy was extremely energetic. He loved to make jokes and lightens up everything. I gave him the bow Storm Drive, as well as a short sword. His name was Aero. The girl was flirtious with the boy I'm about to mention. She is not as energetic, but still funny at some times. The girl had a dark aura around her, however. She kept saying she had dreams of herself, only more evil. This is very concerning... She might have a Yin-Yang effect. When you have control over light and darkness elements at the same time, you begin to seperate into a light side and a dark side. Eliza's dark side must be stirring...

The last boy showed remarkable skill in sword combat, and he had the two elements of Fire and Ice. I crafted a new sword for him named Chilling Blaze. The sword had a.... There was that symbol again... The one on the note... on the hilt of the blade. He also showed himself to be a great strategist. This boy would be an asset to the cause. His name was Asher.

Annie's heart sank into her stomach as she tried to comprehend this...But she couldn't. "What in the World?" She thought to herself Confused. "KIDDDDD!!!" Annie yelled in search of Answers. "Get over here NOW! " She commanded as she stood in the library leaning up against the solid Wall bound Oak wood Shelf with the book in her hands not willing to let go of it. Smiling because she probably made Lucian mad she remembered she still didn't have a name so she shrugged . " Thats a good enough reason for me to call him a kid." She smirked awaiting his response.

" I HA- " She stopped, realizing who she was talking to. " I errr... Um Never mind...I'm Errr....A thousand pardons." She said running off with the book in her Hands hiding the Title and emblem. " Great just Marvelous. " She said as she FacePalmed " A thousand Pardons? What is wrong with me??? " She questioned herself now sitting in a room on a chair and the door locked. " Great..." She muttered to herself trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together opening the book and pulling out the note grabbing her Notebook and Quill with Ink.

" Okay in order now..." She said calmly

By the way, do not ever call me a child. I'm older than you think. Now, if you need me, I'll be laying hidden clues?

Once upon a time, this land was ruled by a tyrant, soon to be killed after a hundred years and a million deaths. The people who killed him took the throne, but stood down after the people rebelled. The insignia on the brief king's sword was...
Under the words, it had the symbol that was similar to Asher's: a flame entrapped in ice.

By the ghostly Figure from earlier I think It can be decided that they know each other. *She jotted down in her Notebook Quickly. *

"Wait...The ghost said..." Where are you...LUCIAN" AGH HA " Annie exclaimed with Proudly to herself Writing his Name in the Notebook incorrectly as : Lucain.

"Next"

The book matches the description of what we saw from that Ghostly Asher-The last boy showed remarkable skill in sword combat, and he had the two elements of Fire and Ice. I crafted a new sword for him named Chilling Blaze. The sword had a.... There was that symbol again... The one on the note... on the hilt of the blade. He also showed himself to be a great strategist. This boy would be an asset to the cause. His name was Asher....

"But what does it mean EXACTLY? " She said still trying to figure this out. " And what did those other two people have to do with Asher? They were just warrior's. "

The boy was extremely energetic. He loved to make jokes and lightens up everything. I gave him the bow Storm Drive, as well as a short sword. His name was Aero.

The girl was flirtatious with the boy I'm about to mention. She is not as energetic, but still funny at some times. The girl had a dark aura around her, however. She kept saying she had dreams of herself, only more evil. This is very concerning... She might have a Yin-Yang effect. When you have control over light and darkness elements at the same time, you begin to separate into a light side and a dark side. Eliza's dark side must be stirring?

"Wait could that mean she Betrayed them? " The questions wouldn't stop. The more she figured out the more Questions came to her.

It's time. I have my whole army up, if not then nearly everything is complete. The HQ is livelier today. That's good. I have just recruited three new rebels. It's sad, really. Their village was burned down by the royal army, most likely for no reason except hiding. The three consisted of two boys and one girl.

"Who could this be Writing In the book?"

"What does that Make Asher? The tyrant? Or....Just some asset to That army? " The questions wouldn't stop. She got a head ache and eventually just stopped thinking momentarily. Then it hit her..."Could that mean that Asher is the tyrant but...Has lost those memories...But Asher seems so Pleasant...so Passive I can't see him being a Tyrant "

She Quickly finished Writing for now. Her arm felt like Water It'll Vibrate and change shape but it's still water. "Agh " She Fell back on the bed. "My arm...Whatever it's worth it. " She decided holding her notebook Pressed up against her Open so that the ink could dry. "I'll Figure this out...I just need time. "

Suddenly the ink spilled on the paper. However, it was clearly an illusion. The image showed the ink staining the paper then washing off by itself. The remains showed only two words. "YOU'RE WRONG."

Suddenly, a strange breeze fliped the pages of the book. It stopped a certain points of the book. They were all entries of various times.

FIRST ENTRY:
Asher is trying hard to become as strong as me. He wants to have a lot of responsibilities, and wanteed to take on the hardest of the training sessions. I'm proud that he wants to be so strong, but I worry that this will also cause his downfall. It isn't him, either. His friends, Aero and Eliza kept working too. They worked just as hard, Eliza suffering the most, however. I had to seal away her darkside several times already. Asher also nearly got raped by this Devilspawn (and I meant LITERALLY Devilspawn).

The next entry was written by someone else. There were also marks of dried up tears on this page.
SECOND ENTRY:
The old Voice of Treason is dead. One of the dark elementalist Devilspawns had injected the shadows into his bloodstream, thus rotting him from the inside. The whole army was in disarray. I can only hope to successfully lead this army against the tyrant, Julian.

Something was odd when Damion died... His ashes didn't just blow away into the wind like they were supposed to. In fact, they formed a cloud and travelled to the direction of the palace. What's going on...?

This entry had been written in various times.
THIRD ENTRY:
GOD DAMNIT! JUST.... FUCK! I led the army into the castle for the last stand. What I found in the throne room was nothing. NOTHING. The bastard isn't there... Where are you Julian...? You killed half my army with your reckless tactic... Leading us straight into a bomb that you disfused... You cold-blooded bastard... You killed my army as well as your own loyal army. Have you known no shame or honor?

... I had found him whilst returning from the failed attack on the palace. Actually, he found us. Maybe he always knew where we were... Either way, it didn't matter. The guy decimated most of the already destroyed-mentally and physically- army, leaving only a hundred of us left. Luckily, my friends survived as well.

I challenged him to a duel. I won the duel, I won the crown, and I won rights to this country. There is a voice in the back of my head tempting me to abuse that power, however. I ignored it and shut it out. I want to rule this country justly, no matter what. I will compensate the humans for their loses. I, Asher, God's Master Immortalis of Temperature, cannot let the Devil win...

FOURTH ENTRY:
I have no right to rule this country anymore. It's been a week and this hell continued. I frequently sent diplomats to tell the citizens that I will rule justly, that the banner of the Blooded Cross, the Devil's Master Immortalis's banner, had gone down. They didn't listen. In fact, they were still like frightened animals.

I sent Aero and Eliza to get them to calm themselves down. All I got were their ashes in pouches. They didn't burn anything. No, they were killed by the humans. A civil war is coming, and the humans have our weakness thanks to the Devil. Even if they didn't, I have no intention on fighting those I am supposed to protect. I gave the crown to the new Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. I have every faith that they will rule themselves better than I could ever do... But I just wish that my friends didn't have to die...

The fifth page showed two banners, no three. The first one was the Blooded Cross, a white crucifix inside a droplet of blood. Written below it was "Julian's Royal Army Banner."

The next two banners were different. The first was a tornado engulfed in flames. Under it was "Damion Howard's banner, the first Voice of Treason." The second was the Emblem on the note, yet again. "Asher Immortalis's banner, the second Voice of Treason and conqueror of the Devil's Master Immortalis."

After Annie finished reading she laid back again hitting her head off the beds mattress. " AGHHH" She then closed her book and tossed it aside looking for Lucian Her hunch being if he can cast an illusion he must be near. "Dame it Lucian where are you hiding!?" She said ruthlessly.

Lucian laughed, and appeared beside Annie and on the bed. "Well? I'll give you three guesses as to who Asher was before the amnesia. I laid down a lot of clues, going so far as to actually show you his journal..." Lucian smirked. "I'll give you give guesses. Every wrong answer you get, I'll bind a limb but give you another clue. If you give me the right answer, I'll let you get close to Asher." Lucian winked. "Hell, I'll even tell you the whole backstory if you get it within 3 tries..." Lucian said it as if it was just a game to him. "Ready? Go."

"What is this to YOU? You sit here like it's a game show and yet you don't tell me what you mean by who Asher was and still you want me to guess like it's a game. You know what? ASHER has always been himself weather that past of his previous feeling and experiences have been forgotten or not he's still Asher just without the Personality he used to have. By the looks of it though he created the thing that was to master the Devil or he owned the Devil And the same goes for god...You know by the looks of it. Not to mention that you seem to like referencing to your age when I called you a Ignorant child Seemed to Gesture that your Immortal. " Annie finished out of breath and with a disgusted face looking at Lucian. " You make me sick to my stomach."

" Well then Now that that's all Out what now Ohhhhh Wait I got another Idea! "
"What's left I might as well die But you know what? Just for the Hell of it you might as well be Gods the way you manipulate the world Or Elemental's But what the Hell let's push it a Little more Arch Angels You know What ells? Say there is some part of you that doesn't completely want to toy with Emotions of people you might just be Angels But Nah that's way to complicated for you. How about this: Either way you are Probable brothers and unless for some odd reason your a Demon And Asher isn't and He's a Angel I can see why you feel a small amount of Unease around him but either way it doesn't matter now. If I were to Figure it out this is Such a Unclear topic about who he WAS. But what the Hell I gave it my best theories." She said not caring about herself. " One last thing? Se l'occhiolino a me ancora una volta buco del culo troverò un modo per tagliarti la gola. " She Added sounding Angry as she turned away to look out the window at the Beautiful Night sky.

"At least it seems you were honest that time" She joked as she felt his Odd touch. "Was the hug really necessary though? " She questionably joked once more." But at least now I understand a little more" Her voice jumped back to being serious. "I was getting quite frustrated with your Shenanigans and games " "I swear though if you were to had called me "Lady" one more time Probabilmente sarei andato Insane." She Exclaimed Jokily for the last time.

Annie pulled away softly from Lucian's hug. " Well I think we shouldn't keep the guest's waiting. " She said Seriously like that conversation didn't happen. "Seeing how ONE Probably thinks im weird and it would Terrible if the other thought of me as Weird. " She then thought to herself as she unlocked and exited the room not looking back at Lucian just as she would had before but...Something was different.

"My book" She thought turning around and reentering the room packing up everything of hers putting it in the knapsack at the bedside and Sliding the Journal in the drawer behind the Knapsack.

Lucian smirked when she pulled back. "You know, Asher couldn't really control his horomones way back when. He was easily swooned by girls, thus causing him to try to stay away." Lucian explained. He followed her out of the room, and kept how Asher was. "He's always serious, and was very passionate about helping humans. Asher hated tyrants, and thus, gladly joined the rebel army."

Lucian leaned in for a whisper, yet again. "Because I'm a manifestation of his sins, the almost-exact opposite, I actually try to swoon as many girls as I can. Like you." Lucian's breath was even colder than before, and then he pulled back.
