The Secret

Prologue: Before Everything Starts

Hi! Kaguya here, with an Inazuma Eleven Go fanfic! :D

Sorry if this is done badly, but I do hope you will enjoy it!

Leave comments below to tell me your thoughts, and do not be shy to point out my grammar mistakes or tell me how I can change my way of writing to make it better!

Enough talking. Now let's get into the story!

-------------------------

Five dragon years (Fifteen human years) ago, in a prison cell...

Night. Another starless night. So dark.

How long have I been here since I was captured with my brother? I don't know, nor do I remember. Inside here, time seems to slow down. Have I been here for days? Weeks? Months?

Or have I been here for years?

I seriously have no idea. I can't count the days pass by; there's no opportunity to do that in this hell-like place. Everyone was being watched under those pairs of emotionless, metallic and empty eyes.

Footsteps echoed through the hallways as I continue thinking, closing my eyes. Even sleeping is controlled by them. Here, in this dark place, everything is always controlled by them. Our "work time", our rest time, our daily meals, almost everything. Even our thoughts.

They always seem to know everything. I don't know how they do that, and I don't want to know. Dark secrets hide underneath those evil faces, causing deep pain both physically and mentally, over and over again. I don't know why they hide them when they always reveal them at the end.

Flash. Flash. Flash.

I snap my head up when I see the faint blue lights flashing beside me. What's wrong? I flash back softly, dim green light uncovering the sky-blue dragonet that is hiding under my wing.

He blinks his innocent deep blue eyes and flashes again. Are you alright, nii-san?

I'm just thinking, no big deal. I fake a smile and pat his dark-colored horns soothingly. You should be asleep at this time, Riptide. Why are you awake?

Riptide, my dear brother, smiles back and points at his ears. I immediately understand and go for them, pulling the deaf-aids out. Sorry. I forgot to help you take them off before bedtime.

He smiles again and shakes his head, flashing Aquatic. It's okay. I will have to learn how to take them off myself eventually. He hesitates and looks at the black sky. Tonight is starless as usual...do the light of the stars ever reach here?

"I'm sure they do." A deep but gentle voice says behind us.

Both of us turn around and stare at the dragon, whose black scales hide him in the shadow. We search for a while and finally, locate him. "Are you using your mind-reading skills again?" I huff in annoyance. Riptide doesn't mind though. Instead, he grins at him, like he always does no matter what.

The blind dragon's blue eyes glitter in the dark, the scars on his eyelids unable to hide them from shining. "Chill, Shark," he soothes, his talons swiping at the ground in front of him, frowning a bit when they hit the heavy metal balls that are chained to our feet, and goes to us. He pats my younger brother gently, smiling. "I only use it so I can understand what Riptide wants to tell us. After all, I'm not a SeaWing, and I don't know how to speak Aquatic or have flashy scales as you do."

You don't? The young dragonet flashes in confusion.

"Nope, I don't." The black dragon answers softly, not wanting to alert the guards. "I'm not a SeaWing, little one. I'm a NightWing, which can blend into shadows of the night sky, and we either have mind-reading powers, see the future or both. I'm, unfortunately, those who have both powers."
