Backstory:
Before God made every creation, there was a group of 7 magic users; Paradox, Ares, Corle, Azak, Eulo, Ana, and Phiri who ruled the world. The leader of the group was Paradox, the most powerful of all the magic users, his powers surpassed the others. His guardian was his only sworn sole protector Ares. The other 5 magic users was only there to worship, follow, and help in war against Syn however they did have certain powers.
Syn was the demon at that time and was an evil magic user that betrayed the group in the very beginning. He was known as the weakest but he found out he gained more powers as he used dark magic. He caused havoc in the world which ruined the balance in life and also wanted to take over the leader position and steal Paradox’s power to become stronger. A massive war was about to begin so to prepare, the 7 magic users created 7 embryos that passed down their powers for the future beings to mix and have control of that power to defeat Syn if he lived through it. Syn on the other hand also had that idea and made an embryo that passed down to the beings to mingle with.
The massive war began and wiped out everything except the embryos that was protected in force fields. After many years, God created humans and the first 8 women to become pregnant would have one of the embryos passed down to each of their babies. Although with extraordinary powers they still looked human and lived a normal life without knowing their powers after they grew up. As it turns out if a person holds this power and they have knowledge of it, they have more of a chance to awaken it. People believed that such power existed, like the ancestors that pasted down legends about the powers. It was peaceful until the number of magic users started to fade away and the only ones left were the direct descendants from the 7 magic users and Syn. As time moved on, the new generation of magic users started to get unstable, their powers started to reveal without having any acknowledgement. It was an uproar and maybe the beginning of another immense war.
Prologue:
Shizu’s parents died when she was at a very young age (6 years old) and was then passed on to her grandfather from her mother’s side. The day that her parents died, a boy named Ryuu, same age as Shizu was left at the steps of grandfather’s house. Her grandfather was very puzzled and tried to ask the neighbors around if they saw anyone who left the child, but they all say they didn’t. He pitied the boy and decided to adopt him, however when he woke up, he had no memories of anything. Shizu and Ryuu were siblings but not related by blood but they were more like childhood friends. All she believed was that Ryuu’s parents died in a sudden car crash and her grandfather adopted him. When she turned 16 during her 1st year of high school, on the exact day of her birthday, a transfer student came. Could this all be a coincidence?
Chapter 1: That Feeling...
Black. Black is all i can see all around me. I dont like this, it's too dark. I dont like the darkness. It scares me. It reminds me of a faint horrible memory i have of when i was a child. I was 6 and I dimly remembered that night…the night of my parent’s death. It was dark but there was blood, blood that flowed to my feet. I remember the blood but not the faces of the person or people who killed my parents. But for fact, I knew my parents were murdered. It was still dark right now. Pitch black. It won’t end….why? Suddenly, there was a figure standing in front of me. I looked at his face but it was too blurry. He started walking away, slowly. I followed him but he got faster and before I knew it, I was running after him.
“Who are you?!” I yelled while gasping for air. He then stopped and turned to me, dripping in blood. I wanted to run away, but something made me stay.
“Who are you?...” I asked again. My voice was shaking but I kept looking at him. He then turned his head 90?. I followed to where he was looking at and saw two bodies laying there. They were covered in blood, one male, one female. I walked to them and every step made my stomach hurt but I had to go look, I had a hunch. I looked at them closer and to my worst fear, my hunch was right. It was my parents, lying there. Dead. I looked back to the blurry figure clenching my fist and holding back my tears.
“You….you’re the one who killed my parents?” My voice barely audible. The figure nodded and smiled. He started coming towards me. I ran. I ran like the coward I was. Crying and running wasn’t the best combo because I tripped. I looked back and he was closer and closer. I got up knowing I wont out run him, but I kept running.
“Help!!..Anyone please. HELP ME!!” I yelled so loud my ears rang. Out of nowhere, there was light in midst of the darkness. A hand reached out to me and without knowing who it was, I took it. It was better than trapped in that darkness that I feared so badly. The loneliness and fear I felt was diminishing as I entered a place full of light. I kept holding onto the person’s hand. I looked at the figure but it was too hard to make out who it was but it was a male.
“I’ll always be here for you Shizu” he said it in the most calming voice I ever heard. I heard a faint sound, there was someone calling for me outside of this place.
“Wait, what’s your name? Don’t go!” I tried to hold onto him tighter but I didn’t think it would work anyways. He smiled gently but I still couldn’t see his face clearly. His hand patted my head and he started to walk away slowly. I reached out to him but before I could touch him, he faded away and so did everything else.

The sun’s rays beamed in through the window and settled upon my face as I opened my eyes. I looked at the time and it was already 7:50. School starts at 8 but I didn’t want to go today, not after what happened in my dream. I was too bummed out.
“SHIZU!!! GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE!! WE’RE GOING TO BE LATE!” Ryuu yelled from downstairs. Ryuu was sort of like my brother, an annoying one that is and he acted more like a mother. Even though I found him annoying and obnoxious and everything that I hated, I still liked him around. We grew up together and I see him as a brother. Grandpa told me that his parents died in a car crash which kinda made us even closer. Both of our parents were dead however mine were murdered. Murdered. It was astonishing as to how I still remembered the death of my parents at age 6, however the memory was clear enough to see that my parents were dead. I stared at the ceiling thinking about these things over and over again, especially the dream that I had. I shuddered at the thought of that guy covered in blood. I went in my blankets and tossed around trying to shake the dream off my mind. As I stopped, I heard someone come up stairs, it was probably Ryuu. He opened the door and I pretended to sleep in the oddest position. Ryuu came up to me and laughed a bit but then pulled my blankets away.
“HIMURA SHIZU! Wake up god damn it!!” Ryuu said jokingly as if he didn’t know I was already awake. He started to tickle me and he knew I hated that.
“PFFFFTT OKAY OKAY!!! STOP PLEASE RYUU!!” I screamed while laughing and pushed him away with my feet.
“Then get up already, we’re going to be late you lazy bum. Don’t even think about skipping school average-san” He said as he chuckled and went downstairs. I got up and looked at the calendar on my bedside table. Tomorrow, September 20th, was my 16th birthday, Ryuu’s birthday was months ago even before school started. I always had the late birthday and I hated it. I got up reluctantly and made the bed while looking out the window by my bedside. My bed was cornered to the wall near the window. I always loved falling asleep while looking at the moon. I sighed and felt like going to school was going to be a nightmare today. Even so, I brushed my hair and tied it into my old fashioned everyday ponytail and changed into my uniform without looking in the mirror. I let out a groan, still sulking, and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
“Why do I have to do this..ugh” I said to myself trying to think of any excuse that would make me stay at home. After all that, I went downstairs to the dining room and saw grandpa and Ryuu sitting at the table. Ryuu was on his phone probably texting his girlfriend, Kyoto Mei, and grandpa was watching the news on TV while sipping his tea.
“Good morning Ryuu and JiiChan (Grandpa)” I tiredly said as I sat down at the table and stuffed my mouth with toast.
“Good morning Shizu, don’t over sleep so much you’re going to be late for school” said her grandpa.
“Sorry gramps, I was too tired and I didn’t want to get up.” I said while eating my toast. I didn’t want to tell gramps about my dream, it would only worry him and I didn’t want to make him worry with the weak heart of his.
“Are you almost done? I need to meet up with Mei before classes start and its already late” Ryuu said still looking at his phone. I met Mei before and she was pretty and smart, nothing like me of course. I was glad that Ryuu was happy with her, it made me feel…I don’t know actually, I could say happy but it would be something else in that category.
“You know you could’ve gone ahead without me right?” I finished my toast and sipped a bit of orange juice.
“Well I wouldn’t be that great of a brother wouldn’t I?” Ryuu said jokingly as he smirked at me. I gave him a cold look which kind of startled him since he stopped smirking right away and looked back at his phone as he got up and headed out the door saying bye to gramps. I shrugged and got my bag and started heading out.
“I’m heading off to school, Bye Grandpa”
“Hmm, Shizu…is everything okay?” Grandpa looked at me with a concern face and I just looked down and shook my head.
“I’m fine grandpa, I’ll do the dishes tonight okay? Bye.” I said hurriedly and headed out. I heard his goodbye but I wanted to get away as fast as I could. Grandpa knew me, he knew me to the point he could see through my light lie. I really didn’t want to tell him about the dream, I didn’t want to tell anyone. I was perfectly fine with keeping it to myself.

~DONG DONG~
“Lunchh~~~ yayyy~” I survived through the first half of classes and made it through to lunch, which was my favorite part of the day.
“Geez Shizu, is lunch the only thing you like about school?” said Hatsumi Akari, one of my friends. She was the pretty one in our little circle. She also had a twin brother, Hatsumi Hiro, who was the most popular guy in school with girls swarming around him. Akari didn't really pay much attention and mostly wants to avoid him in school. Even though Akari was popular too, she told everyone to treat her in a normal way. She didnt like all the attention and hated being popular. But still with their beauty they were known as the Rare Hatsumi Twins, rare because of their beauty. She was my best friend since elementary along with Meiko Kana.
“Well I’m hungry! Today my grandpa packed me a bento. I love grandpa’s bento<3” I said with a squeal. I loved grandpa’s bento because it contained everything he made himself with his own little recipe. I loved trying new food especially his.
“Hey wait for me~” Meiko Kana said as she quickly grabbed a chair and sat next to me to eat lunch. Kana was the smart one who had many many many friends. But Akari and me were her closest friends in school. Her family is well known because her father is the C.E.O of Meiko Inc. which is an ultra mega business dealing with foreign investments. That's why Kana can speak so many languages, her father hires different language teachers to teach her. Kana was able to enroll in a normal school here because of her promise with her dad, to be the next C.E.O of the business if she gets to enroll in a average high school. Kana has no siblings and her family is very high in society. Akari and I met Kana in the first year of high school which was last year. Even though we’ve only known Kana for a year and a half, she was already a part of us. As I enjoyed the company of my friends, I munched down everything in my bento.
“WoW Shizu, this time it’s a new record! In just 2 minutes!” said Kana as she looked at me amazed. I tried smiling with my mouth full of food which obviously made Akari and Kana burst into laughter. I finally managed to swallow my food and suddenly heard chatter coming from class 2-A.
“What’s that about?” I asked trying to reach my head out of the door.
“I don’t know… but I think it’s your brother Akari. Hatsumi Hiro right??!! The super good looking, popular, good at sports, and also so kind and beautiful Hiro??!!” Kana said with excitement. I rolled my eyes not that I didn’t like Hiro but I hated the idea of popular guys and that cliché thing that every girl will fall for the guy. Hiro was okay and like any student here at Oyama High School.
“Yea I guess, but it’s tiring having a brother like that, and no one knows his true nature anyways!” said Akari as she at her rice annoyingly. It was kind of funny to watch Kana fantasize and Akari eat her rice that way.
“Hmmm~ Really well I have Ryuu as a brother or should I say child hood friend, but sometimes he gets under my skin. Makes me mad but I still love him as a brother”
“Ehh~ You two have super popular brothers but I don’t have any siblings, I’m so lonely. And you two feel like you’re in hell when you’re with your brother. Stop complaining!” Kana said while laughing.
After a while Hiro came to our class and started heading towards us. Great, just what I needed , some drama today.
“Well that’s rare, seeing you over here in our class Hiro.” Akari said as she still looked down at her food.
“I just forgot my textbook and thought if you had it, so do you have it?” Hiro said with a rotted and forced smile.
It kinda looked scary and funny at the same time which made me laugh a bit.
Akari handed him the textbook and gave a glare.
“Yea yea yea I got it I’ll be going now, bye ladies” He said as he left the class room with a swarm of girls around him.
“That was so awkward..” Kana said while eating her pocky.
“So I heard that there’s going to be a transfer student coming tomorrow and it was going to be a guy who's a year older than us” Akari said trying to change the subject.
“Really? That’s on my birthday too” I said trying to sound excited. I really didn’t care who was coming to this school, all I cared was getting out of it. I wanted to go home to my comfortable bed and pillows.
“Wow is that a coincidence or what, well I heard that on your birthday if someone came into your life or your surroundings then that means that he’s your fated lover!” said Kana happily while she cleaned up the left overs of her food.
“Ehhh~ that’s so not it Kana maybe it was just a coincidence, nothing more than that. I’m telling you, I have nothing to do with that transfer student that’s coming and I frankly don’t care.” I crossed my arms and sighed while looking out the window.
“So persistent, well I heard his name was Rin Haru”
In that moment I shuddered without even knowing it. It was odd, what just happened?
~~~~
School ended and with that everyone started to head home. Finally, I get to go home to my precious bed, I thought as I walked to the lockers. I didn’t feel all that good after lunch though and started to wobble a bit. I saw Ryuu coming this way and waved.
“Hey Shizu, I can’t walk home with you today I got soccer practice and Mei wanted me to stay a bit at her house so I’ll be coming home a bit late but I can make it by dinner.” Said Ryuu as he approached me all in a rush.
I felt light headed but tried to seem just fine since I didn’t want to bother him.
“Ah..that’s fine I’ll just go home by myself, Bye”
“Right…bye be careful” Ryuu said as he headed off to soccer practice.
I started to head home but my vision was getting blurrier and i started to wobble a bit. I closed my eyes for a bit and looked up. There was a faint figure that was coming in my direction. I squinted to see but it was still blurry.
“Ryuu…is that you?” I asked hoping that it was.
“You’re so troublesome Shizu” His voice, it was different. It wasnt Ryuu, but it felt safe and calming. Before i knew it, i fainted and all i could see was black again. Black.
