In the lowest realm the Mortal Realm, on the west region of the Shen Continent, a very prosperous yet hidden kingdom can be located. With the advantage of the topographical location, the whole kingdom is easily hidden and the location is only known by the natives.
This kingdom is none other than the Refein Kingdom, a not to shabby kingdom located at a hidden location, this is all what the other kingdoms thought about this kingdom.
They are all confuse as to why would they will isolate themselves to others, they all think that it is more beneficial if they all trade to make their kingdom prosper more.
But unknown to them, in the Refein Kingdom, mages are as plenty as the clouds, almost all the citizens of the kingdom are mages.
Mages in this realm are highly regarded whatever their levels are. It is because becoming a mage is very hard, out of one thousand people only one can be a mage. Becoming a mage is no easy part, they are unlike warrior that only needs to train their bodies.
To become a mage, one must have the required constitution, first is they should be able to feel the magic energy around them when meditating.
When we talk about magic energy it is the same as the true energy the warriors use but magic energy is the thing that supplies the mages in order for them cast spells. Magic energy can also be called as mana.
The second requirement is to have a mageroot where you will store the magic energy you absorb. Mageroot serves as the storage for this magic energies, not everyone can have a mageroot as only those within the heredity of mages has the probability to have one.
Mages harnesses the powers of the elements, namely Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, and Metal. This five elements are considered to be the five main elements, but that doesn't mean that they are the only elements.
There's also lightning and wind, both have the same nature which is they are both violent. The light and dark elements, two opposing elements. And the mysterious pair of space and time elements.
The last and foremost element, is the divine element. Only chosen ones have this element or the so called Gods.
They lived at the highest realm and doesn't care about the affairs of the lower realms. They didn't intervene with any of the happenings on the lower realms but they exist because the realm exist.
Rooftop, Refein Castle, Refein City, Refein Kingdom.
A green robed girl is on the rooftop holding a wooden staff. The magic energy around here are fluctuating wildly. In front of her was a magic circle 2 meter in radius.
If others were to see what she is doing, they would have guessed that she is using the summoning magic. A type of magic intended to summon other beings on other realms.
The summoning magic is a type of ritual not only in the Refein Kingdom but to the whole continent. When the summoner comes of age they have to summon other being from the other realms to prove that they are an official mage.
This ritual is mostly officiated at a mage's 18th birthday and that mage has to be an inferior practitioner or above.
That means that this green robed girl is 18 years old and is an inferior practitioner or above. With this she can be considered as a talent in the Refein Kingdom.
The magic circle in front of her started to glow which marks that the summoning magic is about to success. She only have to wait what will she summon.
Usually, the summons from the other realms will be infants of beasts or other creatures. Their is a rare possibility that they will summon a human, which is considered as a bad luck. Because if that human turns out to be an ordinary one then their life as a mage also ends.
The glow of the magic circle intensified, while the magic fluctuation around it started to also get wild. A strong pressure can be felt coming from the magic circle, this means that their is a being that was summoned.
Judging from the pressure it is emitting, this being should be a strong one, it could even be a dragon. Slowly, the glow on the magic circle starts to fade.
The girl tried her best to stay conscious but because she used too much magic energy she passed out without even seeing her summon.
*thud*
She fell on the ground while her hand are still tightly gripping the wooden staff.
On where the magic circle was earlier is a boy with white hair, eyes like the universe and a godly handsome face. Currently, he is looking around him in confusion until his gaze landed on the unconscious girl on the ground.
His eyes sparkles as he approached the green robed girl, unlike others who should be doing bad right now he sat beside the girl waiting for her to wake up.
He wants to ask the girl where he is right now and what is her name. Speaking of names, he also have no idea what his name is, nor he knows where he comes from.
It seems like everything about himself is blank just like a piece of paper. He couldn't remember even the slightest bit about himself.
Because of this, he felt that he have no idea why he is here. He thinks that this girl might know why he is here and the purpose of him.
With nothing else to do, he started to examine his body. He owns nothing right now except for an iron sword, which he only noticed now that was sheathed on his back. The sword was black in color, as deep as the night sky because although it was pitch black it shines when the sun's ray hit its surface.
Other than the sword he also has a ring, it does not have any exquisite design on it, instead it looks very ordinary that it was a common ring which ever angle you look at it.
He doesn't remember his name or anything about his past. He only has a sword and an ordinary ring. He can be considered as a very poor person.
He looked at the girl who was still unconscious, although he doesn't remember anything about his past but he knew how to appreciate a beauty.
The green robed girl, if compared to other girls is considered to be a top quality one. With her golden hair, arch eyebrows and her visible flawless skin. He can only say that she is a beauty that can cause a disaster to a kingdom.
He keep on looking at her until an unknown period of time has passed, the girl finally showed signs of waking up. The day is almost over when the girl is waking up so it means that the girl was asleep the whole day. This is because she used too much magic energy more than her body can handle.
The girl's closed eyes suddenly trembled lightly, and slowly she opened it, her hazy amber colored eyes looked around her in vigilance. She doesn't remember anything but she knows that she was in a process of using summoning magic.
She is on guard because she is afraid that she might have summoned a ferocious beast. Looking around, her eyes finally landed on the boy not far away from her. The boy was very peculiar because he was looking at her with a smile.
What she also noticed is that this boy shouldn't exist, because anyone who sees him will fall over for him, with that looks, she's afraid that she is already one of those girls who will fall for him.
He is also looking at the green robed girl who had already regained her consciousness.
"Hello." He said with a wave of his hand.
"H-Hi!" She don't know why but she felt that her heart palpitated when she saw his smile.
"May I know where I am right now?" Maybe it was because he forgot everything about his past that he felt doing things straightforwardly are the best.
"What? Your not from here?" She looked at the boy in front of her with a shocked expression. Who doesn't know about Refein Kingdom as it was the most famous kingdom around the continent. But this boy in front of her may be the first one to be oblivious of this well known kingdom.
Scratching his head in embarrassment as he saw that she was so shocked that her jaw is in danger of falling down.
"I really don't know. I just know that I am already here." Come to think of it, he also don't know how he came here. He did not remember walking here.
"What?! You also don't know how you came here?" She felt like she had never been so shocked all her life than now.
"Well. All I remember is that I came out of a glowing circle, aside from that I remember nothing." He only remember than he came out of the magic circle but he didn't know what it was called so he just called it a glowing circle.
"That explains why you don't know Refein Kingdom. Its because you came out of a magic circle." When she heard his explanation she felt that it was reasonable for him not to know about Refein Kingdom.
He also nodded at her showing his agreement. But on his mind he had already taken note of the word 'Magic Circle'.
But then, she realized where her mistake was, she completely ignored that he came out from the magic circle as any one who came out from the magic circle does not belong to this realm. That means that he is from another realm which also explains why he doesn't know about the existence of Refein Kingdom.
And if he came out from the magic circle then that means that he is her summon, she summoned a human from another realm.
"You are not from here. You are from another realm!" She pointed her little fingers at him while maintaining a safe distance between them.
"I guess. I don't remember anything so I am not sure." He shrugged his shoulders while he raised his hands showing that he will not do anything.
She saw that he isn't a dangerous person so she let her guard down. Thinking that she still haven't introduced herself makes her feel ashamed as it was very rude especially for a person with high status like her.
"I'm sorry for my actions earlier. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Lucetta the third daughter of King Gefaust of Refein Kingdom." She performed a nobly bow which shows that she was properly disciplined.
"Hello Lucetta nice to meet you." As it turns out she was of noble birth that explains why she was very elegant in her every movement.
Meanwhile, Lucetta was dumfounded by his response, she had already introduced herself isn't it time for him to also introduced himself.
He seems to know what she is thinking so he also feel that it is kinda rude for him not to introduce himself. But he can't do anything since he really don't remember anything.
"I know you may be thinking that I'm rude. But I can't do anything about it cause I don't remember what my name is." When he think about it carefully, it makes him sad cause what if he also forgot something important.
"Oh?" Lucetta was thinking that he was only lying but when she saw his expression which was filled with pain and longing, her heart soften and can only look at him.
The two of them stayed silent for a very long moment. One was looking at the stars thinking deeply while the other one was looking at the other feeling pity.
After who knows how long, he decided to break the silence.
"Since I can't remember anything about my past and may mind is in chaos right now. I think I will call myself Kios from now on." He stopped looking at the stars as he stared back at Lucetta with a smile on his face.
Lucetta's face immediately flushed red when she saw Kios' brilliant smile. She was surprise that with only his smile he can cause her heart to be on turmoil.
Looking at the peaceful starry sky Kios felt comfort and pleasure. It seems like their was some connection with him and the stars above but he can't make his head out of it why.
Enjoying the peace in the night, he took a deep breath and exhaled a mouthful of air.
"Now that we know each other, can you tell me now what I should do?" Kios looked at Lucetta before turning his gaze back at the night sky which was already filled with stars.
