Magician’s Knights Prologue It was night and the star shined brightly. Sounds of 16 kids running though the hallways echoed through the castle. They were trying to catch up to their master to watch him leaving. They reached outside in front of the castle. “Master!” they all yelled. Niseshiro turned and saw his young students running towards him. He tried to leave quietly but it looks like he won’t be able too. “What are you doing outside of your beds? Go on, head back to bed.” He asked them. They all shook their heads. “Master! You said you would teach us to because Magician’s Knights.” They all spoke at the same time. “I have something to do, but I promise that when you are able to Chapter 1 The castle was big and old, it has withstood the test of time and it came through. It stood with pride but cracks have began showing here and there showing that it’s not a young castle anymore. The Hallways were old and grey, lost a feel of greatness that they once had. What once had rich painting and pictures up on it’s walls were now blank and empty voids. The precious metals of the candlestick and chandelier has lost their shine and beauty; that now are rusting and falling apart. The glass windows that once kept the castle warm and were whole are now broken and let in the cold damp air from the outside. Indeed, has this castle seen many things during its lifetime. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. The sound of running feet echoes throughout the empty hallways coming from two little girls. “Did you find him?” Hitomi asked. “No, did you?” Mika said. Hitomi shook her head with a no. “Gee where could he have gone, that idiot.” Hitomi said as she put her hands on her hips. Hitomi Kumora is a young short girl at only 3’7. She has long purple hair that went down to her lower back, with light green eyes. She is wearing a light silver armor with big shoulder blades. A chest plate with some fine leather that was tight on the stomach. Her gauntlet was made out of thick leather with some iron knuckles with small pointed balls on it. Covered with silver armor on her arms. The silver boots went up her leg just short of her knee cap with a 3 inch heal that put’s her at 4 foot tall even. She is only 8 years old. “Hmm! If I were him where would I go to ditch class?” Hitomi said while tapping her left silver heel. She looked at Mika with a smile. Mika looked at Hitomi face expression lighting up. “You know where he is!” Mika said in an excitement. Hitomi smiled and nodded. “Come on, he’s this way.” She ran in the direction towards the court yard. “Wait for me sis.” Mika said as she chased after Hitomi. Mika Kumora, the youngest twin sister of Hitomi standing only at 3’5. She has short purple hair that has a small flower hairclip in the right part of her head. Light green eyes that shine in the sunlight. Unlike her sister who wears her armor, she wears light brown cotton shirt dyed with some black color on the back. She wears a silver armor on her arms. Her pants were slim and hugged her legs. They had some stitching in some random places. She wore a black mini skirt around her waist. Outside on top of a slanted roof of a building laid a young man about 15 years of age and 5’7 ft tall. He has light blue hair on the left side of his head and light green hair on the right. It was split down the middle evenly. His hands were behind his head and his eyes were close. Wearing nothing more than simple cotton black shirt and pants. He is the older brother of Hitomi and Mika. The oldest of the Kumora siblings. He loves to be alone away from the others, he just wanted to be left alone. Feeling the light breeze coming across his face with the sun beating down his face. “KYONTO!” A voice yelled. He opened his right eye revealing a light green eye looking down and sees his siblings standing there. Hitomi was obviously angry and Mika was just bobbing up and down on her feet with a smile. That was one thing Kyonto hated about Mika, she was always smiling. “What do you want?” Kyonto asked coldly. “GET DOWN HERE NOW! MASTER NISESHIRO IS MAD THAT YOU ARE LATE FOR CLASS!” Hitomi yelled. Kyonto just closed his eye and just ignore Hitomi and went back to sleep. Hitomi was getting madder by the second. “Fine be that way.” She said under her breath and she walked up to the wall. “Um Hitomi? What are you doing?” Mika asked her sister. “Isn’t obvious? I’m getting our stupid brother down.” Hitomi said. And she then put her hand on the wall. She focused and her hand started to pulse against the wall. The wall started to squirm and move and it wrapped around her hand and then it started to pull her up towards the roof. “Please be careful big sis.” Mika said, watching her sister going up to the roof. Hitomi reached the roof and silently tipped toed over to Kyonto. She charged her magic in her foot and then took a step and kicked Kyonto in the left side of his ribs. “ULTRA KICK!” Hitomi yelled. Kyonto eyes widen from the pain and he screamed as he was kicked off the roof and crashed into a stone wall. Kyonto emerged from the rubble and he was mad. “WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!” Kyonto yelled. He got up only to clutched his left side in paid and blood was coming down from his left side of his head. “Kyonto are you alright.” Mika said all worried as she reached her brother side. She then turned and faced her sister. “Hitomi that wasn’t nice! You could have really hurt him.” Hitomi looked at Kyonto with disgust a ‘hmph’ came from her lips. She hopped down and using a blast of magic to slowed her down and landed on the ground. She turned away from her brother and sister and said. “Come on, Master Niseshiro will be mad if we linger.” Hitomi started to head towards the hallway and left for class. Kyonto just glared as Hitomi walked away from him with her back towards him. “Man, she’s such a pain.” Kyonto thought and then he felt pain coming from his wound on his head. “AHH!” He flinched away and yelled to Mika. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” “Are you alright? The cut doesn’t look too deep and the left eye is all fine.” Mika said with a smile as she cleaned her brother wound. She wiped the blood from Kyonto’s left eye. “Why do you care if my left eye is ok or not?” Kyonto asked. Mika look at Kyonto with a confused look. “What do you mean? The left eye is my favorite eye.” Mika said. “Huh?” Kyonto said. “What are you saying?” Kyonto winched in pain as Mika placed the cloth again against the open wound. “I like the left eye because it reminds me about that beautiful lake.” Mika said with a charmed voice. “There it’s all done.” Kyonto got up and brushed himself off. He hated how she is always helpful toward him and to the others. “I swear she’s going to get taken advantage of one of these days.” Kyonto thought. He then started to walk towards the classroom. “Man, I hate class.” Kyonto said to himself. Mika got up and ran after Kyonto. “Wait for me brother.” Mika said. Kyonto looked at the door and sighed, he hated going to class because it’s all the same. He closed his eyes and reopened them, he reached for the door and opened the door. Once open the door he was faced with Master Niseshiro who had his arms crossed and stood there angrily. “…” Kyonto just looked at his master with a glare. “You are late Kyonto.” Niseshiro said. “Yeah, yeah.” Kyonto said grudgingly as he pushed pass Master Niseshiro. Niseshiro just rubbed the temple of his head out of frustration. He turned and watched Kyonto taking his set in the back of the classroom. “MASTER NISESHIRO I’VE RETRIVED KYONTO!” Mika yelled while giving him a salute. Niseshiro turned and looked at Mika who was running towards him. “Ah yes, thank you Mika, I couldn’t do it without you.” Mika gave him a smile and went to sit down in her set. Niseshiro walked to the front of the classroom and faces his students. They all looked forward at him and just sat there waiting. The front row in seat 1 is a young girl named Rei who’s about 16 years old, seat 2 is a young boy named Si about 10 of age.
