Prologue


''There are thing in this world that are out of our reach. Those who claim it are doomed to death or worse. But legends, myths and rumors says there is one man, who can change this all. My mission? My mission is to find him!'' an angelic voice whispered from heavens.


Chapter I


''Dad, I'm off to hunt, cya later!'' Shijo said as he ran off to the woods. ''Wa-...ugh, he already left...the rascall'' his father mumbled.

''Die, you pig!'' shijo yelled as he shot an arrow at the pig, and hitted him in his leg. ''Ha...got you'' Shijo said smiling as he aproached the dead pig his corpse. He chopped the head off wth a small dirk he got from his dad when he was small. He walked back to the village through the woods. He collected wood underway for a campfire later. It was getting late and dark in the forest so Shijo made haste. He arived pretty late at home and found his dad. He wasnt so happy as you thought. ''Shijo...i was gonna tell you somethign very important. But as always you ran off.'' his father said grouchy. ''Ok, im sorry, but i got dinner anyways.'' Shijo said. His father smiled at Shijo. ''good job my son...'' he said.

At dinner Shijo's father stared at the ring of Shijo, the one he got from his father. ''Shijo, what do you know of your ring?'' he asked. ''Its a piece of jewelry i wear for your memories.'' Shijo said. His father got up and walked to Shijo. He took his hand and pointed to the ring. ''This ring, was used in acient ages to seal away evil, Shijo. Remember that when you wear it.'' he said softly. Shijo smiled and got up ''I'm full, thanks for anything...dad'' Shijo's dad looked up. He was never called dad by Shijo before. He dropped a tear of joy and smiles at Shijo.

The next morning Shijo got up early. He walked outside and went into the forest, where he sat down up in a tree. He sat there al morning, just staring at his ring and thinking about what his father said. ''to seal away evil'' he mumbled softly. Shijo doozed off for a moment, in wich he had such a weird dream. He stood in a white room with a figure hanging from the roof, wich spoke nothing but just hissed some words, or was tryng to. Shijo woke up when he heard screams. They came from the village, so Shijo jumped of the tree and ran off to the village. When he arived, he found it in flames...

Chapter II : village in flames


Shijo ran to his house like he never ran before. He was exhausted but he ran of, fearing what he might find. He around at his home and saw it in flames that reached out above the roof. ''Dad!'' he yelled out. ''Where are you?!'' he yelled. Shoji heard some mumbling from the back. He ran around the house and saw his dad, injured and bleeding, on the ground. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Run...Shijo...they want...your ring...'' he said while gasping for breath. Shijo ran to his father, who fell to the gound. Shijo chaught him when he was about to hit the ground. But it was to late...his father died in his arms. ''Dad!!'' he yelled out crying. Shijo got up and ran away towards the forest and ran through it with great haste, crying loudly while he ran.

He ran 3 hours long, without stopping once. he looked around and didnt see much, only a couple trees, a town in the far west and the smoke that came from Tribio. He sat down at a tree and started to cry louder. He punched the tree and looked down. ''why....why me?'' he said. he slowly got the wood he collected the other day and made a small grave for his father and started to pray next to it.

''Who might this grave belong to, kid?'' he heard behind him. Shijo turned around and saw a guy with two katars around his belt, a long black coat and a scar on his face. His hair was meduim long and was dyed blue. ''Who are you?'' Shijo asked. ''I'm Kazar, Katar dancer'' ''I see...'' Shijo said softly. ''But, you didnt awnsered my question, who is it for?'' ''For the people of Tribio, and my father'' ''i see...wait....Tribio? That place in the woods?'' Kazar said suprised. Shijo nodded softly. ''I'm sorry. follow me kid'' Kazar said. Shijo looked suprised at Kazar. ''I might be a katar dancer, but im also a merc. I'll take you to merc HQ.'' Shijo got up and said ''i might be coming, but its for myself, and not for you.''

Chapter III : The katar dancer, the merc...

Kazar was a good student at his hometown of Socisition, he never got into trouble, he studied well, never complained and had a good life. One day when he was thirteen, he was walking around town untill he saw a katar dancer. It was the first time Kazar saw such a weapon, but he seem to liked it. He saw the weapon as elegant. He always readed about weapons invented by the great east, but the first time to see it. He went to the dancer when he was done with the show. ''how did you get so good with the...ehm...weapon...?'' he asked innocent. The katar dancer smiled and laughed softly. ''Its a katar, and heres a secret. The man wielding it is never great, the weapon itself is great.''

Kazar got a job quickly to earn money. He was saving up for a katar, he was in love with katars from that day. Everyday he would chack out the weapon shop as he passed it. He didnt see a katar often. He was ashamed to asked now though...

Time passed and kazar turned 18. it was then when he orderd his first katar at the shop. It came in after several weeksand kazar was so happy. He only had one at the moment, but he knew he wanted two. so he saved up for a second one, wich became real the next year. After another year kazar knew it for sure. It wasnt the user, it was the katar...

''You ok, kazar?'' ''yeah im fine, just watch after youself'' kazat said. ''kazar, your kinda odd'' ''i have my ways'' kazar said as he walked over the hill. They stared over the hill and saw the big black building sticking out in a town a couple miles away. ''That's Cyteth'' kazar said. shijo nodded and ran of towards it. ''Wait...kiddo...what was your name again?'' kazar asked. ''Its Shijo, Shijo Sashe!'' shijo said. ''nice name'' kazar said as he leaped of to the towards the building

They finaly reached it and walked towards the gate. ''Like it?'' kazar said. Shijo stared at the giant gold symbol in the center of the front of the big black building. ''A...Amazing!'' he yelled ou of exitment

Chapter IV : The building of fate!

They entered the big building and walked through a small corridor untill they reached a small gate, wtached over by 2 guards. ''Identify yourself!'' one of them said. ''Mercenarie 396, Kazar Kavala!'' kazar said. ''And him?'' the other guard said strict. ''That is Shijo Sashe, my aquintence!'' Kazar said clear. ''Open the gate!'' both guards yelled at the same time.

There were more then hundreds of mercenaries beyond the gate, all gathered in the main hall. Some bowed down when they saw Kazar and some just stared odd to Shijo. They walked on through all mercenaries. Untill they reached a big door that leaded towards the elder his chamber. There they saw the elder, an old man who leaded the mercs for forty years straught now. ''Show him respect Shijo'' Kazar said while he kneeled down. Shijo just kneeled down and lowered his head.

''Kazar, report!'' the elder said strictly. ''Mission failed, Tribio is destroyed.'' he said with a low voice. Shijo looked towards Kazar for a moment, but quickly lowered his head again when a guard looked at him. ''I see, what about this boy?'' the elder said with a questionable voice. ''This is Shijo Sashe, i met him on the plains, he comes from Tribio.'' Kazar responded. ''Kazar, come closer for a moment.'' the elder said soft. Kazar walked up to the elders big chair. The elder whispered something in Kazar's ear and they both stared at Shijo for a second. Shijo didnt know what to do, but kept his head lowered, eevn though he knew all eyes were focused on him. Kazar and the elder both nodded and Kazar walked of. Shijo wanted to follow him but was halted by the elder. ''Shijo...i want to ask you something.'' he said. Shijo quickly kneeled again and lowered his head. ''Ask away, elder!'' he said humble. ''Would you liek to be a mercenarie?'' the elder asked with a deep voice, so the whole hall could hear it.

chapter V : The choice of a lifetime

Shijo was shocked by the question that the elder just asked. He was just staring at the elder but quickly lowered his head again. ''Sir! Please give me some time to think!''. The elder kindly smiled and nodded softly. Shijo ran out of the room as soon as the elder nodded. He ran out of the building, passing the guards at the entrance. he ran through the whole town. He couldnt believe the question that was just asked to him. He was a soldier in training for Tribio and was a hunter... But he never thought if becoming a merc, at such an age. He was only sixteen...

He finaly exited the city and found himself on the plains. He looked around and saw some trees nearby. ''Seems like i always end up thinking in a tree...'' he mumbled to himself. He walked to the tree and noticed it was a pretty old tree. He climbed in it, he could do it easily, he climbed hundreds of trees back in Tribio. He sat on a branch and stared at the sky that had changed into the color of the dark sky. ''Dad...what should i do...please...I dont know what to do...'' he mumbled softly to the sky. He stared at the sky, full of stars, but one star was blinking very brightly. ''If only dad could see this...'' he mumbled softly, as his last words before he fell asleep.

''Sleeping huh?'' he voice said, waking up Shijo. ''hmmm?'' Shijo responded sleepy. It was the elder who was standing down at the tree's base. ''Oh elder, how did you find me?'' Shijo said, still a bit sleepy. ''I asked people around town, but when you ran away, you looked like you wanted to ask a question. What was that question?'' The elder said smiling. Shijo looked down to the elder. ''How did you...Never mind. I wanted to ask you, what was Kazar's mission in Tribio?'' Shijo asked with suprised. He didnt knew the elder saw it. ''It was a mission to check out Tribio, reports said that it could be in danger...and it failed because he couldnt check it out.'' ''I see, so it was just scouting...'' Shijo said disappointed. ''Have you thought about it?'' the elder quickly changed subject. ''Yeah...Sir...Please...let me become a merc! i want my father to be proud of me! even if he did die...'' Shijo said heroic. ''Very well, Shijo...Whats your backname and middle name?'' the elder said a bit silly. ''Shijo Sashe, i have no middle names.'' Shijo said. ''Shijo Sashe, I here by make you mercenarie 501! Your starting rank will be, recruit!.'' The elder said official.

Shijo rested the night outside in the tree. He left of to the HQ when dawn rose up from the east. He walked through the city, where no one was on the streets yet. He stared at the big golden sign hanging on the big black building. He walked throught the small corridor and arived at the two guards. They both reckonized him. ''Pass, Shijo, new recruit!'' They both said. The gates slowly opened and Shijo walked in. He saw Kazar standing exactly on the other side. ''Ive been expecting you, come on Shijo, ill show you around.'' He said. Shijo nodded and followed him. They left to the west wing and game to a big hall like area. It was filled with long tables and lots of chairs. ''This is the cafetaria, you can have breakfast here, as well as just rest out, and sometimes parties are given here too'' He said proudly ''I see, ill keep it in mind'' Shijo said.

They walked up a stairs at the end of cafetaria. ''This leads to the dorms, the bedrooms for the mercs, every merc has his own room.'' Kazar said. Shijo stood still for a moment. ''I'm...getting my own room?'' Shijo said suprised. ''You never had an own room?'' Kazar asked. Shijo shoke his head. ''I always shared one with my father'' he said innocent. They walked on untill they reached a room with the numbers 501 on the door. ''This is your room, Shijo. My office is at the end of this hall, room 396, its my office. Remember it, your in my squad.'' Kazar said. ''Your squad?'' Shijo said suprised. ''I'm merc group leader, im squad leader of 37 mercs now, including you'' he said. ''How cool, you never said you were a squad leader!'' Shijo said hyper. ''Ok, rest for today, tomorow is your training, the trainer is free today, so take your time to unpack and all, and if theres anything you want to know, you knwo where to find me'' Kazar said as he walked off. ''Ok, thank you kazar!''

Chapter VI : A harsh training

''Hey! Wake up! Damn, has no one told him to wake up at 4 like all mercs? sheesh!'' SHijo heard outside of his door. He softly mumbled and turned around. ''Hey! i heard mumbling, c'mon, open the door!'' he heard again. Shijo looked at the door and slowly got up. ''Man, can't they be a bit more quiet, cant they see i'm sleeping in here?'' He said while walking to the door. He opened the door. ''Could you all please be mor-..." ''Shoji i guess?'' ''huh, you were looking for me? and its Shijo, not Shoji'' Shijo said grumpy. ''sorry kiddo, im not good with names, anyways, I'm your trainer, you dont need to know my name, come down to the cafeteria and eat something after that we will train.'' He said grumpy as he walked off. ''sheesh, some people here make alot of noise in the morning.'' Shijo said as he got dressed.

He came down in the cafeteria and ordered something to eat, he sat down at a table all alone. Kazar came up to him. ''Hey Shijo, slept well?'' ''Awakend by a loud person...'' he said grumpy. ''Ok, anyways, im off again, im kinda busy today, i might see you at the end of your training.'' he said as he walked off. Shijo ate on and not even 5 minutes later the trainer aproached him. ''ey Kiddo, meet me in the basement when your ready, i will give you an half hour to get there.

Shijo did as he was asked to. He finished up and went to the basement. It was a huge area underneath the HQ. It simulated a desolated area of rock deserts and cliffs. The trainer stood in the middle of everything with a small green beret on his head. ''Ok kiddo, time for your training, here take these, weighter armlets and guard, just for training!'' he said as he threw weighted clothing to Shijo's direction. Shijo picked them up and putted them on, they were heavy and pulled him down. ''Run a couple kilometers with this, minimal 3 to 5!'' the trainer said. Shijo started to run, but he couldnt run hard and his stamina got drained quickly. ''Trainer, i dont think i can hold out 3 kilometers!!'' Shijo yelled. ''Dont talk, just run!! The trained yelled harshly.

Time flew by and Shijo was exhausted of running, but he wasnt giving up. He knew he had to do this. He ran on but he tripped over a rock. The trainer ran over to where shijo was. ''Are you ok?'' The trainer asked. Shijo didnt respond nor looked up, he just stood up and mumbled. ''fat...her...'' he mumbled softly. He ran on. The trainer chaught up to him and looked him in the eyes and was shocked from what he saw. Shijo had passed out but still ran on... ''This kid....he has alot of will to continue even now...'' The trainer said. Shijo finaly stopped and dropped down on the floor. The trainer ran over to him again. ''Good, still alive...'' he said as he picked up Shijo. He went upstairs and went to Shijo's room. The trainer layed Shijo on his bed nd whispered. ''You will become a great man....'' he said.

The morning rose and Shijo shot up. ''What,,,What happend?'' he asked himself. He looked around his room in hope to find out what happend. he couldnt find a thing. He went down to the cafeteria and bumped into the trainer. ''Wow, your up early, considering what happend yesterday!'' He said. ''What DID happen yesterday?'' You fainted while running, mumbling something about your father...'' Shijo looked up and stared at the trainer. ''Sir, could you please train me more? he asked. The trainer smiled and nodded. ''One hour, same spot''

Shijo found himself downstairs again. ''OK this time, let the armor off, yester should have been a test when you would give up, but oyu dont give up at all, so yeah''. Shijo pulled off the armor and threw it on the ground. The trainer thrusted a sword into the ground. The hilt was beautifull, it had gems in it and the cloth was pure silk. ''Pull this sword out of the ground, or at least, try to do so...'' The trainer said. Shijo stepped up to the sword. He pulled once but didnt got it to move. ''Its stuck..'' ''Its not, pull harder, dont give up, think positive'' The trainer said. Shijo turned around and pulled hard on the blade once more. It slowly rose out of the ground. In a moment, it shot up out of the ground and rose into the sky. SHijo holded it up pointing at the ceiling. ''Good work Shijo, your training is over...'' HE said and walked away. Shijo was proud and stared at the blade he holded in his hands.

chapter VII : My first mission


Shijo woke up the next morning in his bed. He was still exhausted from the running, but he was smiling when he saw the blade next to him on a cabinet. He stepped out of bed and went to his closet. He didnt know what he saw. All of his clothes had been replaced by black robes with an insignia. They were black as nothing he ever saw before and the insignia was silver with his letters in it. ''S...S...Shijo Sashe?'' he asked himself. ''How cool is this, i got my own robes!'' He went on and searched deeper. "ehm...what the..? they are all the same!'' he said. He was disappointed at first but his name was on every last one of them. He got dressed in one and took the sword. He putted it in his sheat he got from his trainer and putted the sheated sword on his belt. He ran downstairs into the cafeteria.

He arived in the cafeteria wich was crowded as always. But today there was even a bigger crowd. He looked around and didn't pay much attention. He bumped into someone. ''I'm sorry si...'' He looked up at a huge man. He had a shyte on his back and had long hair that ran over his back. It was purple like the dark night. He lowered his head quickly. ''I'm very sorry sir! Please excuse me, I'm still getting used to it!'' He still hung with his head lowered. The guy laughed for a second. ''You must be the new guy...ehm, what was your name again?'' ''Shijo, Shijo Sashe!'' He said humble still with his head lowered. ''Raise your head kiddo, I'm not gonna hurt you.'' Shijo got up and looked at him in the eyes, you could stare at them and say it was a person you can trust. ''Si..Sir whats your name?'' ''I'm Radotz Zash. Merc 50. Merc with shyte.'' Radots said. ''I see, but isn't a shyte for farming?'' Shijo asked curiously. ''Yeah but also for battles in my case, you might never know'' Radots said smiling. A loud voice yelled through the cafeteria. ''Shijo! Report to Kazar's office, now!'' the voice said. ''Seems like i have to go, bye Radots, nice to meet you!'' He said and left off.

Shijo arived at Kazar's office. He stepped in and walked to the office. Kazar turned around in his chair. ''There you are, what took you so long? Ah doesnt matter, anyways, im giving you a mission!'' Shijo looked suprised at Kazar. ''Already?'' he asked while he kept staring. ''Yeah, your coming with me, we are going to Shivioton, a village close by. A couple of people are making Riots everyday since a week, we will stop them. We hope to keep it peacefull though...'' He said softly. Shijo nodded and kept staring. ''Well lets go!'' Kazar yelled as he stood up.

They walked out of the Hq and through a couple streets of Cyteth. Everyone who saw them bowed down for them. Shijo had to blush because of it, no one ever bowed down for him. ''Kazar, this is new to me'' He said softly. Kazar smiled. ''Just get used to it soon, you will get alot of people who will bow down for you...'' He said softly. They walked out of town and walked over the plains.

They had to cross over hills and through some forests. Most of it was still plains with a beautifull view wich you could see for miles and miles away. ''Kazar...This is beautifull...'' he said. ''First time i saw it it took my breath away.'' he said smiling. They walked on and reached the village after half a day. ''We shall wait for now, rest today. We heard they attack in the morning, so we will sleep at an inn. Its sponsored so dont worry'' He said smiling while they walked to the inn.

Chapter VIII : The rioteers


They waked up in the light of the morning and the sound a chicken. They went downstairs and ate something. ''Shijo...Have you been thinking lately?'' Kazar asked. ''About?'' He responded. "Everything, what happend and what your gonna do.'' ''Well...i want to see Tribio sometime again and the people i have known...'' Shijo said softly. ''I see...'' Kazar said softly. They both finished up. Shijo stared at his ring for a couple minutes after breakfast. It still shone like it did way back...

They walked through town for an hour or something sotcking in on supplies. They passes an alchemist. "An alchemist?'' Shijo asked curiously. ''Yes, an alchemist makes potions, and other helpfull things.'' ''I see...'' Shijo responded. He looked around for a bit and bhought some health potions. ''Seems helpfull.'' He said softly. He walked out of the store and bumped into a woman. ''I'm sorry miss'' Shijo said. ''Sir you seem strong, please help me! There is a riot down in mainstreet! Please go check it out!'' She yelled panickly. Shijo ran off towards the mainstreet.

He arived and saw Kazar infront of a giant riot, keeping them from the second part of town. ''Kazar! What should i do?!'' Shijo yelled. ''Take that bow and arrow and shoot one down as a warning shot!'' Kazar yelled as he slashed a rioteer down that ran off to him. Shijo took tghe bow and arrow and aimed at a rioteer standing in the middle. He unleashed a single arrow and shot it in his leg. ''Nice shot Shijo!'' Kazar said to Shijo. ''Rioteers, please stand back and retreat now, never come back or else more will be hurt!'' He yelled again. The crowd retreated and ran in diffrent directions. The wounded one was still lying down. ''Take him in...'' Kazar said. Shijo went and took him in. They both left of for the inn once again to chain up the wounded rioteer.

The rioteer was stuck with pieces of chain that were attached to the bedposts and to the closet. ''Let me go! C'mon, let me go i said!'' he yelled. ''Shijo, make him silent'' Kazar said while he stared out the window. ''How should i do that?'' Shijo asked curiously. ''Hold your blade out to him'' ''What?!'' he yelled. He stood up and walked to Kazar. He grabbed his shoulder and turned him around. ''You said we should do this as peacefull as possible. You first let me injure him and now i need to threathen him?!'' Shijo yelled. Kazar hitted Shijo across the face. ''Silence, you are a merc and should follow my order, and this is an order, you got that?'' Kazar yelled. Shijo lowered his head and didnt looked up. He took his bade and stuck it out to the rioteer. ''Man, please dont do this, i have a familie'' He begged. ''I have...my orders...Dont let me kill you...'' He said very angered.

They day passed and finaly someone arived from the HQ. He was wearing a white robe and had a machine looking thing on his back. ''These are messengers, they will take him to the HQ'' Kazar said. Shijo rose his sword to Kazar. ''You shut up, right away'' He said with a lowered head. The didnt spoke to eachother for the rest of the trip back home. Not even the sight could cheer up Shijo anymore. He felt betrayed, though even he choose for it. HE knew he couldnt fight it. He just had to live with it...

Chapter IX, The Day after

Shijo woke up rather disturbed. He felt like he really disgusted all mercs now...Though it was his home now...his place and his job...He stood up and got dressed. It was still a bit dark outside, though light already shone brightly from the corridor. ''They must already be up...i guess...'' Shijo mumbled to himself. He took his blade and putted it in his sheath on his belt. ''This sword binds me to my promise...'' He softly mumbled as he stared out the window. ''Dad...''

He went to the cafeteria. He was suprised by the crowd that was there. A big banner hung from one part of the cafeteria to the other with big decorated letters : ''Welcome Shijo!''. Shijo stared at it with big eyes. Kazar came walking up to him. ''I'm sorry about yesterday...but today is celebrating that you joined our ranks. Please...'' Kazar said. Shijo smiled and pounced Kazar. ''Silly, i forgive you, it's your job...'' Shijo jumped on a table. ''Thank you all for coming! I really apreciate it to see everyone is here!'' Shijo yelled. The crowd went wild and partied on. Shijo jumped of the table and got halted by Kazar. ''My room, 5 mins'' He said. Shijo nodded and left the partying crowd.

''I havn't told you yet'' Kazar started out. ''But you are free to go explore around the country, or further with special notices. You will be funded and will inform us what you did and all.'' ''So...i can go see Tribio?'' ''If it still stands, you are free to go.'' ''I will get ready right away sir!''

Shijo was done packing for his journey in a couple minutes. He had everything, food, his weapon, his faith and hope. He just really hoped everyone was ok...though his dad...He knew he couldnt see his dad anymore. It still was his old village. He ran off as fast as he could with hoped in his head and heart.

chapter X: return of the hunter

Shijo was happy. Even after all the trouble with Kazar was over, he still felt guilty. But he was to happy he was returning to his village with hopes of survivors. It was wonderfull... He ran a bit faster and dropped a tear out of happiness...

He ran on until he reached the old woods where he used to play in...the woods of tribio. ''It has been awhile...'' he mumbled as he smiled. He walked into the forest but quickly changed to running again. He ran by trees at a great speed. He knew he could do it. Though he tripped once over a branch, he was OK. He stood up and kept running.

He finally some saw light through the forest. The old lights he used to hate. Because he knew he had to go home if that happened. He ran towards the village and smiles when he broke out of the forest. Most of the village was burned down...Only a couple houses still stood. ''Yes...there are survivors!'' He yelled happily. He ran through the village. He could see people work further down the village. He ran up to them. Some looked up to see Shijo standing. ''It's....Shijo!!'' One said when he looked at his face. The others now looked up too. They all smiled and walked up to him. ''Shijo!! we thought you died! Thank god your OK...'' An other man said. ''I wish i could say the same for my father...'' Shijo mumbled. Everyone looked down for a moment. ''What do you do now? and where were you?'' A woman of middle age asked. ''I was in Cyteth...i was in the forest when it started...and when i came it was in flames...and i saw my dad. He told me to flee as fast as i could...'' He said softly while looking down. ''Now...I'm a merc...'' he continued. ''Merc....mercenary...warrior for profit...'' Someone softly said. ''Yeah...'' Shijo mumbled and slowly looked down. Everyone became silent.

Shijo went to the place where his old house was. ''Here i am father..'' He softly whispered. ''Look at me now. Am i doing the right thing?'' he softly continued. Two people came look for Shijo. ''Shijo...you have rights to say what happens to this place...'' They softly said. ''Keep it like this...'' He mumbled without looking up. He looked at the debrish. Nothing was there. But something twinkled on closer inspection. ''Whats....this...?'He softly took it out of the debris. It was a small gem from a ring. ''From a ring? but my dad didn't had....wait..'' he softly mumbled. He rose his hand and inspected his ring. A small slot was open. ''I see...'' He softly whispered.

Shijo walked to the middle of the village again. He waved at everyone and smiled as he left once again. He walked back through the forest. He knew it was for the best. He took the small gem in his hand. ''Ring gem...maybe...'' He thought. He held his ring in front of him and softly putted the gem on the ring. It gave a soft click. As soon as it clicked, his hand shake and it felt weird. ''What...is this..?'' He stuttered out. A small flash ended it all and his hand stopped shaking. ''What was that...?'' He thought. HE walked on thinking very much.

He arived on the strechted plains again. He could see almost everything and thought of his first night. The flames and the escape. He saw this all back then. He softly sighed and walked to Cyteth. But only a couple feet away from where he was he heard a soft voice whispering in his ear. ''So i see you unlocked it.'' It spoke. Shijo turned around, but no one was around. ''I see you got it now!'' The voice spoke harder.

Chapter XI : The secret of the ring.

Shijo looked around to see if there was someone. But no one was there. He looked straight again, but quickly was blinded by a flash. A bright inhuman flash coming from nowhere. It blinded him so badly it hurt his eyes. ‘’Damn…What is this?!’’ he mumbled. The flash reduced in brightness soon again, but he wasn’t in the plains anymore. Instead it was a white room, at least…it looked like a never ending nothingness of soft white glowing air. The only thing he could see was a small black puddle a mile or so away. ‘’What…is this? Where…am I?’’ ‘’In your own morality…oddly enough, it’s still pure…’’ The same voice whispered.

A small disfigured piece of air was seen a couple feet away. You knew something was there, you just didn’t see what. ‘’Who…or…What are you?’’ Shijo asked. The voice started to laugh and flashed once softly. You could see it in a split second, it wasn’t human…Shijo pulled out his sword and held it up against it. ‘’Tell me!’’ He yelled. ‘’I am what you see me as. That is all. But I can tell you, I am here in your mind, so I know a lot about you. Shijo Sashe…’’ It said mocking. Shijo was angered and slashes once, cutting right through it, but all of the sudden Shijo felt ill. ‘’I wouldn’t do that…It will hurt yourself only.’’ Shijo fell to the ground, or what felt like it anyways. He looked at the being. ‘’You found the gem…impressive. Now you’ve unlocked the true purpose of your ring.’’ “True…purpose?’’ Shijo said weak. The figure looked down. “You don’t even know the reason you thought it was first. The form it gave before was Stamina and Strength, pure for the power. But when you insert the gem…you unlocked magic.’’ Shijo looked up surprised. “Magic?!’’ Shijo said. “Power lost to this world due to selfish elves and the ignorance of human. Only a small group of elves in the north of the southern country know magic.’’ “But, why me?” Shijo asked. “You’ll find out soon enough…” The voice said. You could hear fingers snap soon after he was done with talking. A small black wolf appeared in the area. “It is harmless, just focus for a second. Think of an element. The basic ones would be Nature, Fire, Wind, Earth, Ice, Water, Light and Darkness. Then focus on a form of attack. An pillar, a ball form? Beam at the foe? You choose.’’

Shijo sat down on his knee. He thought of the burning desire, the desire of seeing everyone again. A small orb it was. He looked in front of him, right into the palm of his own hand. A small orb, burning with the flames dancing in the air. “What the?!’’ Shijo said as he backed off a bit. “It worked?!’’ “Off course, now, fire it at the wolf.’’ Shijo sat up again and held his hand back. He swung his hand wildly to shoot of the small orb. It shot right through the little critter. The body of the wolf fell over, with a small hole shooting from the head to the back with burn wounds around it. “Excellent!’’ The voice said. He snapped his fingers again and the room faded slowly. “So I can use magic…How…intresting…’’

Chapter XII : The magic within

Shijo looked around on the plains again. He was standing in the same place as before he went into the weird white room, well, his morality, as the voice said. He softly his finger tips over the ring. It was warm by touch, but it looked freezing cold. He thought back for a second. “Think of an element…Think of a form…’’ he mumbled softly. He rose his hand about chest height and thought of a blade, intensified with the heavy weight of the rocks, the burning passion of flames. A small flash shone in his hand. Rocks formed, moving downward, making a beautiful blade with small openings. As soon as it was fully formed, flames crawled down over the blade. Though it burned it didn’t hurt Shijo’s hand. He was scared of the sight of what it could do, he dropped the blade and ran quickly towards Cyteth. Towards the HQ

He kept running, looking back as if the blade might come back to him. He was truly scared of it now. But he kept the ring. The only reason was because his dad gave him that same ring. “Dad…did you knew this…?’’ He mumbled while gasping from running. He stopped for a moment. “off course he didn’t want me to get hurt…he wants me to protect…’’ He thought for a second. “protect…myself, his most precious possession…I think I get it now.’’ He said softly. He ran off further towards home, the HQ.

He arrived and quickly ran by the gate guards, who recognized him once again. ‘’Such a lively fellow…’’ one of the guard mumbled to the other. The other one laughed softly and just kept staring ahead.

Shijo ran up the stairs as if they were nothing, he gained a lot of stamina thanks to the weight armour. He ran further until he found Kazar’s office. He knocked the door hard and entered quickly. “Damn it Shijo, if you come in, do it peacef-…’’ “Emergency!’’ Shijo said hastily. “Please, come with me somewhere private…’’ He mumbled

They walked on to a small nearby tree forest. It was way smaller then the one around Tribio. “So what’s the matter?’’ Kazar asked slowly, afraid something might have happened for someone else but Shijo. “I…learned I can cast magic…’’ He mumbled in response. “Say what?!’’ Kazar said shocked. “Magic, the hidden power of elves, you know?’’ “Yes I do know, but how did someone like you learn it?’’ Kazar continued in shock. “That is what I have to find out myself…’’ He responded shady. “Keep me informed…wait, show me first…’’ Kazar said. Shijo rose his hand, he thought of the chilly ice cold ice. He formed a large icicle right floating in front of him. It shot right at a tree and went right through it. The bark shot off and flew into different directions. “Whoa…so amazing…’’ Kazar said softly. He backed off a bit and looked at Shijo. Shijo looked back at him and looked amazed a bit himself.

They returned to town for a bit to walk further back. “I’m giving you higher level missions from now on. You are good enough I see.’’ “But…I’m not sure if I’m going to master it…’’ “You are going to, I’m sure you are. You aren’t stupid enough to leave this chance…’’ Shijo looked down at the floor. “Your right, I’m going to master this…then going after the guys that burned my village…I promise…dad…’’ Shijo mumbled in himself.

Chapter XIII : Troubles in the HQ

It was the following week, Shijo was getting ready, but shaking. He was shaking because of a bad dream he had. He felt like he was that tree that got hit with the icicle right through it. It felt horrid and hurt, even outside his dream. He got slowly dressed and stared out of the window. A beautiful sunrise. “What…if…no, never mind…’’ he thought by himself. He turned around and walked downstairs.

In the hall it was full of mercs. They were gathered in a big group. Only a smaller one then the average was standing in the middle with a bow in his hand. “What’s going on?’’ Shijo asked. “Oh, you’re the new guy, well the one in the middle is Shabow, He uses bows, but there is something weird about it, and no one knows what…’’ The merc said shady.

Later Shijo sat down in the cafeteria, he ate some noodles by himself. Radots was gone for a mission, so he couldn’t eat with him, while Kazar locked himself in his office. So there was no one to eat with. Until someone stood next to Shijo. “He kiddo, could you move? I want a place to sit too.’’ He said. It was Shabow. Shijo moved a bit so Shabow could sit. Shijo peeked a couple times during eating at him. He thought Shabow didn’t notice, until Shabow stood up. “could you mind your own plate please?’’ He mumbled. “Wait…it’s just, I heard you were a good merc…so I wanted to ask you some things…’’ “Huh?” Shabow asked in surprise. “How do you do it?” Shijo asked out of quick reaction. “Well… only my opponents know that, kiddo. So…sorry…” “Well…then fight me, without holding back!’’ He yelled out. Shabow nodded and whispered. “This will be fun…” They both walked out of the cafeteria, together with some other mercs as well.

They stood on the outskirts of town, small patches of grass surrounded the two, while the other ones waited half a mile away. They stood facing each other. Shijo looked very serious at the time. Shabow was standing lightly, he thought this would be easy…how wrong could he have been…

One of the mercs on the sidelines threw a rock into their direction, it hit the ground and both Shijo as Shabow jumped back a bit. Shabow grabbed his bow and shot an arrow straight at Shijo. Shijo grabbed his blade quickly and parried the arrow back, but not hard enough to reach Shabow himself. He ran up to Shabow, deflecting more arrows that Shabow shot off. He got hit by one, right in the shoulder. Shijo pulled it out quickly and snapped it in rage. He ran faster at Shabow and slashed wildly once. He missed him though. Shijo rose his hand up to his face. Shijo thought of the winds, that tormented man with the blows of air. He thought of a whirlwind and it slowly emerged from the sky, reaching down to the ground from the sky’s. “What the?!” Shabow yelled. He got blown off a couple feet into the air and dropped a little end off. Shijo ran up him again and started to make a fire ball, a larger one that he shot at the wolf the first time. “Even though this is friendly…I will not give in!” Shabow smiles once and shot an arrow quickly at the ball of flames. It vaporized into thin air. Shijo looked surprised at Shabow. “My secret is…elemental arrows!’’ Shabow said. He shot another arrow, this time a fire arrow. It shot straight at Shijo. Shijo quickly deflected and thought of ice, pure and clean and formed a slash of it. He slashes his blade and a giant spark flew out of it, the spark was ice blue and froze all it touches. It touched Shabow’s bow and leg, so he was frozen to both. He rose his other hand. “I forfeit, before I loose more then my dignity…’’ Shijo nodded and broke the ice into million pieces. Shabow got up and they both walked back.

The other mercs were surprised. “He won? Really? Incredible…’’ They all mumbled in groups. They all walked after both Shijo and Shabow to the HQ.

Back at the HQ, rumour spread like a wildfire, everyone knew it the same day. About the magic caster Shijo, and magic arrow Shabow. They both knew they couldn’t hide it anymore. “though my arrows are strong, you are stronger Shijo, so you are now, the new magic master of the HQ…and the first one’’ Shabow turned around and walked away.

Shijo went to his own room and just entered the door. But Kazar was lying on his bed. “ok…what the?’’ “Don’t worry, I’m just resting a tiny bit, being leader isn’t easy. Anyways, what I’ve heard…You won of Shabow… impressive indeed. He said you weren’t easily beaten.” Kazar said. “I am not beaten…” “Details!” Kazar said loudly. He jumped up. “This decides it, you can go on missions where we might need your magic. No complaints.” He said as he walked out of the room. Shijo smiled softly and stared out of the window. Until… “Wait, I must go?!” He yelled
