Introduction

In the galaxy,

Lies a world torn apart by war,

Angels verses Devils,

Humans against Humans,

Humans with the Angels,

And Humans with the Devils,

Fighting their own flesh and blood,

For the good of their side…

A war of Endless Onslaught,

The gods have vanished,

Into a dimension of the unknown,

Taking with them the three artifacts of the ancients,

The Bracelet of Time, The Charm of Nature, and the Amulet…

The mysterious Amulet,

Its fate was either salvation or destruction…

What will become of this world?

Even I cannot foresee…

Prologue: A Boy with No Past…

            The world of Aratashi, a world swallowed by a war of Endless Onslaught. This war had been going on for several centuries. The small town of Natsu had seen its share of wars, though the battles between Heaven and Hell took place in different dimensions opened by portals, the pain was not concealed in that area… The deaths were real…

            Twelve-year old Miyuki, a human girl who was the peacekeeper between the two sides, was out making sure no one was trying to kill anyone. Her long blonde hair was tied into a ponytail and her crystal blue eyes gazed around the town sadly. Everyone here was divided by the war; the people who were siding with the angels lived on the east side of town, while the one who were with the Devils lived on the west side. Only Miyuki was allowed to live in-between the two. She didn’t know why war was even necessary; all it did was cause pain, death, and grief…

            Then he came, a boy walking out of the woods nearby in a trace-like state. His short turquoise hair messed up and partly covering his left eye. He looked pretty beat up since his clothes were torn and blood was seeping through his shirt. His lilac eyes were dazed and didn’t seem to be awake…

            Miyuki ran toward the boy, but he walked right past her, as though she wasn’t there. The townsfolk stopped whatever they were doing and turned their attention towards the boy. Miyuki followed him worriedly, something about him wasn’t right. She finally caught up to him.

            “Are you alright?” she asked. “What happened to you?”

            “Death…blood…everywhere…” he muttered. Then he began to fall, Miyuki caught him and tried to help him up. “Death! Everywhere!”

            He screamed the last two words and his lilac eyes opened wide in fear. When his eyes opened the town began to swirl and vanish, replacing it was a barren wasteland. People covered in blood were screaming, for water, for their families, for their friends, for the comfort of death. The people of Natsu began to panic, but when the boy’s eyes closed the vision vanished, all eyes were now on the boy who was in Miyuki’s arms. He had lost consciousness. Miyuki and several other people helped drag the boy off into the hospital. What was it they had just witnessed?

            The boy slowly opened his lilac eyes; they were not as dark as before Miyuki noticed. He lay there on the bed for several minutes, staring at the ceiling before turning towards Miyuki.

            “I’m so glad you’re awake,” said Miyuki. “How do you feel?”

            “Amano…” mumbled the boy.

            “Amano?” asked Miyuki. “Is that your name?”

            “Amano? Is that my name?”

            “Didn’t you say that was your name?”

            “…I don’t remember…I don’t remember…anything…”
