An endless sea of stars. That's all I can see before my eyes as I am falling through them.

"What is going on......"

"Am I already dead ?"

My question is answered by the cold calm waters in which I have fallen. Misty clouds take over my vision and at last I lose consciosness.

I awake on a bed of soft white roses as the light of dawn breaks through the darkness of the night.

-You have awaken at last. Finally...

A solemn man is seated in front if me , looking at the marvelous warm colors of the sky. All I can see is his broad back and amber hair caught in a thin pigtail. He is wearing a black with soft touches of red army uniform.

-Civilians aren't allowed in here. Only the five leaders of the two armies are allowed in here. I will overlook it this time , now go before someone notices you.

-I am sorry for my rudeness but could you tell where I am and how I got here please ?

The man looks quite surprised by my questions as he turns to face my direction at last. Cold grey eyes staring right through my soul.

-You...Wait here.

He gets up and disappeares through the white roses leaving me behind.

"Do I trust this man ?"

"..........No."

I rise to my feet and start walking bewildered trought the garden. As I walk not knowing where, I reach a place where the red roses intersect the white ones but do not mix with them , as if an unseen force divides them. Suddently a voice can be heard across the garden , from among the red roses.

-Why are you here ?!

Before I could react the stranger got a hold of my arm and lifts what seems to be a translucent small crystal which starts shining.

But nothing happens.

The man seemed startled and absent-minded so I took the chance to escape. I freed myself from his grasp and ran with all my might back to where I came from. I glanced back one last time at the man as I ran. He was also wearing an army uniform but it was white with a deep crimson red as well as subtle golden roses with thorns on the collar and coat. His black hair was waving in the wind's breeze as his golden eyes were watching me run. But he wasn't making a move just staring.

I ran and ran until I couldn't anymore. Fell to my knees trying to catch my breath.

-Found you. I told you to wait , did I not ?

-I don't understand....

-There are many things that you don't understand I get it but--

-What's your intent ?

-You will find out soon enough.

We were staring daggers at each other, which was enough to cover for words.

-And if I don't want to come with you ?

-Then I have no choice....and nor do you.

-Eh ?!

The man bend down just a little and then--

-...........Why are you doing this to me ?

-Because you won't cooperate.

I was up and on his shoulder and he, without any concern, started walking towards an unfamiliar place.

"He is cold but ..... he is gentle , he didn't use violence and he was careful when he lifted and placed me on his shoulder too....."

"I guess he doesn't have bad intentions, I hope he doesn't......"

-You chose to cooperate with me I see.Thank you.

-Your welcome...

He finally sets me on my own feet and starts walking again.

We reached the bottom of a spiral staircase which lead to a hall with numerous paintings of army leaders ("I think").

Exiting the hall, a carriage is waiting , he opens the door for me and the sits opposite of me. Then an intense silence falls over the two of us.

"This is just awkward"

After what seemed like an eternity of silence:

-We have arrived at the headquaters.

Looking out the window I spot a bridge up ahead which directs to an imposing yet astonishing building.

At the end of the bridge four men were waiting(perhaps for our arrival). The carriage stops and we get off. The man which was accompanying me gets off and joins the other four.

"What are they planing to do ?"

The five man whisper to each other with grins on their faces and then--

-We welcome you to our Headquaters. The Black Army vows to you protection and happy days.

The five men lined up in a row all bowing in courtesy for me. All grinning from one year to another.

And then the introductions start.

Returning to a relaxed state the first man from the left of the row starts:

-Welcome, little lady, I am Luke Wave, the Ace of Spades. Nice to meet you.I hope we get along well.

He had bright blue eyes and hair blacker than then the darkness. His bangs were slightly covering his eyes.

-My name is Ash Moon, the Ten of Spades. If you ever need help feel free to ask me.

A man who was shy and timid rather than cold continues. His fair blond hair caught in a ponytail and his bright hazel eyes avoiding my stare.

-I am the Jack of Spades, Elias Dominic. I'll make sure you enjoy your stay.

Another man with a very charismatic smile , green eyes and black hair, wearing a pair of black glasses introduces himself.

-I hope you feel welcomed at our Headquarters~~ I am the Queen of Spades, Zion Maximus Genetta~~~ I hope we can be friends~☆

The man speaks with a very bubbly voice which matches his bi-colored eyes, green and purple, and his (VERY) fair blond hair (almost white).

-And I am--

"What an odd complicated world I have fallen into....."
