Prologue

The whole world was under disruption. Chaos struck the cities although not with war, with unsettled disagreements and arguments. All this because of one person. All this because something had happened to that one person. And that one person, Relena Darlian Peacecraft had been shot by an unknown sniper.

She wasn’t necessarily dead, but for the past three weeks she had been in a dreadful coma. Not even the doctors and surgeons knew whether or not she could survive. It was all down to her will to live. But how could they tell her. She couldn’t even hear them.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Relena stood in a forest glade dressed in a white hospital gown with small dark blue spots. The sun poked its way through the dancing leaves until at last the golden drops sank into the ground; displaying an array of different sized spotlights.

Ahead of her stood a large ivory gate with pink pears encrusted at different intervals in its smooth surface. Beyond the gate came forth cheery laughter and singing, like a choir of heavenly angels. Like the sirens in the Odyssey, the strange yet beautiful voices drew Relena to the gate.

However, no matter how fast or long she walked for, the pearly gate always seemed to stay the same distance away from her. The urge bubbled out of her. Her need to enter whatever unknown land that lay beyond that gate grew and grew as she walked on.

Soon Relena started to run. As she did, the sun swiftly dipped into the horizon, leaving everything in darkness. But the gate could still be clearly seen. A roaring wind arose, causing her clothes to flap wildly around her, and her golden hair twirled and fluttered with every gust of wind that passed her.

The noise increased and the strength of the wind grew extremely violent, when….everything went quiet again. Everything was the way it was before, the sun shone down on her, the leaves danced with the wind; however the pearl encrusted gate was no longer in front of her. But when she looked behind, there it was far away in the distance as though she had walked half a day’s journey away from it.

Relena was busy gazing back at the wall when a small hand tugged at the hem of her hospital gown. Peering in the direction of the tug, Relena saw the most unusual sight she’d ever seen, down in front of her stood a small, chubby child, with rich brown curls. He was covered with white fur like a baby polar bear and would have reminded Relena of the cherubim in the famous paintings she seen, if not for the fur; for the little thing had a pair of tiny golden wings on his back.

Since the cherubim didn’t say anything but stood there continuously tugging at her gown, Relena thought it best to say something.

‘Who are you?’

‘They named me Retep.’ His voice was high and showed the enthusiasm of a young five year old boy. It was clear that Retep was the playful type once you got to know him.

‘And who is they?’ Relena resisted the urge to give Retep a huge bear hug.

‘The ones in there. They told me to bring you to them.’
