Rayne-Hokuto-Royal

"Unhh...where am I?” "Huh? Who's there?” "Who are you?” "I asked first." "I'm Rayne, who are you?" Rayne spoke.  An ownerless voice spoke from all around. "Oh, wait a minute. Maybe this is the day. Maybe this is the day that repeats itself without fail! The Awakening Day. Young one, you're journey has long before started, but you still have an eternity to learn. Open your eyes, little warrior," the voice concluded. Rayne opened her eyes, and saw that she was surrounded by darkness. Pitch black, nothing, no light at all. But then, conveniently, a large, bright, circular stage lit up beneath her feet. Rayne looked around, b

 It was noon, and a cheerful aura was settled about the dining room of the Royal household. Both the Manor children laughed and joked with each other and their parents, nearly forgetting that morning's events. Maya giggled with the girls, sipping her caramel silk tea while Suron laughed at Rachel's and Rayne's ideas of play-games.  "You see, when I was chasing her, she tripped! And the sound she made when she hit the ground was priceless, papa! You should’ve heard it! It was like the squeak of a mouse," Rachel told Suron.   "Is that so?" Suron said curiously as he casted a sly look at his younger daughter.  "Nu-uh! I d

  Rayne rushed out the back doors of the manor and stopped momentarily. Not just to wait on her sister, but to breathe in the sweet, humid, mid-morning air. She looked up to the sun and smiled. The thing she loved about Twilight Town the most, was the way that no ordinary residence could tell sunrise and sunset apart without a direct time. The sliding door opened and closed, signaling that Rachel had made it outside.  "Rayne, you know this is a bad idea. Remember what happened last time ?" Rachel urged.   "Yeah, I 'accidentally' fell and tore my light pink Sunday dress," the still smug brunette replied. Rachel sighed and started to walk wi

 The younger sister awoke to rays of the golden dawning sun lighting their room with faint pinks and golds. She sat up and yawned, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She looked over at her sister's spot and saw the toffee haired female sleeping soundly. Even though she knew it was early, it was an unwritten tradition that whoever woke up first also awakes the sleeping sister. So without hesitation, she placed a tiny hand on her older sister's shoulder and gently shook her figure.  "Ray," the chocolate brunette yawned, "Rachel, get up."  "Hmm?" was all the groggy youngling could manage to mumble.  "I said get up, its dawn," Rayne persisted.

 The sound of giggles, screams, and running feet filled the Twilight Town Manor. Rachel, holding a stuffed white kitten with a large bell around its neck, flew passed the numerous family paintings placed along the wall of the upstairs corridor, trying to escape to clutches of her younger sister. Rayne, holding a white stuffed rabbit, chased after her older sister, with one arm outstretched. Rachel was now six years old, and Rayne was five. Rachel was running as fast as her nine year old body would allow her. While she was the faster out of the two sisters, her dress was more elaborate than the younger Manor sister's garments. She reached out

  Outside, the rain was pouring as if it was the last time it was going to rain. The sounds of pained cries and frustrated groans filled the empty Manor located behind the woods of Twilight Town. It was April 1st, and Maya Hokuto Royal (Roy-al) was laid back, sweating, and red in the face. Suron, Maya's husband of five years and some months, was standing by, supporting her with encouraging words and patting her forehead with a slightly moist rag every now and then. A young girl looking to be about one year and some odd months of age was sitting next to her father, wearing earmuffs to block out the mother's distressed cries. Not fully aware o
