The Reincarnated Sapphire

In the middle of a grand hall, a young woman dressed in white was forced to her knees. An enchanted rope around her wrists and staked to the floor. Keeping her from using her magic. Circling her were five platinum white orbs of light, floating several feet in the air. She knew who they were and their awesome powers but the young women held her head high.

“The time has come, to pass judgment on you Gylil Lanniel.” A wraith-like force emitted from one of the orbs as it spoke, sending goosebumps down Gylil’s back. “We overlooked your reckless actions for a millennium but we cannot let this go unchecked!”

Gylil rolled her eyes and scoffed. “A cursed soul dead set on our domain, and he was so close to obtaining his greatest desire. I try to stop him but somehow given a trial.”

“We are aware of what is happening! But the six of us swear an oath to NEVER reveal ourselves to the humans!” Claimed another orb.

Gylil glared at the orbs. “And look at what has happened so far! The soul has taken the kingdom that I protect! The magic they’ve acquired is nothing like I’ve ever seen! But instead of defending the kingdom you’ve pulled me away in the middle of a fight!”

“So you presented yourself to a mere necromancer!? He poses no threat to us but you decide to break our most sacred oath!”

“This ‘mere necromancer’ was able to get through! He took the kingdom for his own! Somehow he has knowledge of our weaknesses! Sooner or later he will try again, then destroy us and then our realm!” Shouted Gylil.

“ENOUGH!” Another orb bellowed. “Our word is final! You broke the oath!!”

The 5 orbs grew brighter and brighter. The orbs began to change, taking human shape. The first orb took the shape of a middle-aged woman, her honey tan skin had a few wrinkles. Long gray and black hair halfway pulled into a bun letting the rest cascade down her back. A few locks settled on her chest. She stood straight and her head held high, dressed in a bright sky blue and white dress. A dark blue corset with a gold belt fastened around her hips. Upon her head was an intricate crown. With gold and gemstone beads hanging from the band and 5 gold points with blue gemstones.

The second orb transformed into a middle-aged man. His ebony skin showed years of knowledge and wisdom. As he stood tall dressed in a dark blue undershirt. A brown sash tied around his waist and a dark red robe draped over his body. Placed on his short white hair was a tall gold crown.

The third orb took the shape of a man looking much younger than the first two. He had a muscular frame, sporting a dark leather tunic and reddish-orange armor. Patterns giving the armor look like it was on fire. On his right hip laid a magnificent sword that gleamed in the light and a spangenhelm like on his head. Draped on his back were a large bow and a quiver filled with white feathered arrows.

The last two orbs transformed into twins, one a man the other a woman both with fair skin and long black hair. The brother dressed in a green robe with dark green tassels on his shoulders. And a dark green sash with silver embroidery tied around his waist. The sister dressed in a rich red underdress with gold embroidery and a solid red sheer overcoat. With large sheer bell sleeves. A black corset fastened around her waist and a gold belt around her hips. Draped over her shoulders snow-white fur.

“Gylil, we know that your intentions were for our safety. But breaking our oldest oath cannot go unpunished.” Gylil took a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions in check. She turned to the older gentleman, pleading for someone to understand her actions. “But we must not overlook the need for a guardian. And seeing that this necromancer knows the location of the sapphire we must act.” He said.

The older lady turned to him, her eyes wide and filled with panic. “My love, you don’t mean,”

“Yes! As guardians, we must do what’s best for our realm!” He turned back to Gylil. “Gylil, your punishment is reincarnation!” He ordered.

“WHAT!?” Everyone shouted.

“Father, this is insane! She doesn’t deserve a second chance! And do you think that a human from this realm could be a guardian.” Shouted one of the twins.

“Yes I do...but it won’t be a human from this realm.” Before anyone could ask him the meaning behind his words the older gentleman raised his hand. The ropes that bind her disappeared and a gold surrounded Gylil. As the light grew brighter she felt a humming sensation traveling through her body. Her form began to change, her body disappeared turning into an orb.

“My love, is there no way for us to change your mind? To put the trust of the gem in the hands of the human not even from this world? What if they cast their hand against us?” Said the middle-aged women. She’s always trusted her husband but was still apprehensive trusting the gem to someone who’s never seen magic.

“You have nothing to fear, the force inside the sapphire will test them when the time comes. And then we make sure they become the perfect guardian.”
