Chapter 1 - The Awakening

"In the beginning there was nothing...then the all driving force created the moon and the sun, both were enormous... but the moon was jealous of the sun, for it was smaller than the sun, both were fascinating and glowing, but the moon envied the sun, for it had a dim light while the sun was very bright, both were perfect and alive but the moon hated the sun and it's light.

The moon then plotted with darkness to kill the sun, thinking that if they killed the sun the only light that will fill the heavens was the moon's light, and so the moon tricked the sun to go to the edge of nothingness, the sun followed the moon to the dark edge, for it was young and immature, there the sun was killed, and the only light that remained was the moon's, but the moon's light was never enough to illuminate the world, and so darkness prevailed and filled existence, for it was actually tricking the moon to fill the universe with darkness...

  Suddenly a new sun appeared! much brighter and much larger than it's predecessor, for the light should always prevail, and so darkness faded right away and the moon was pushed into the edge of nothing to be punished for murdering it's old friend."

     "This is the tale of the sun and the moon, some say it describes the daily cycle of the sun and the moon, and others think it describes the eternal fight between good and evil, but for you my little trickster this is a bedtime story" said Tanya as she gave her little daughter Tracy a kiss while smiling.

Tanya was sitting between her two little daughters Tracy and Heksie on their common big pink bed.

Heksie was fast asleep while Tracy was still awake as she was listening carefully to her favourite bedtime tale (not the first time though!).

"But what happened to the darkness mommy?" Said Tracy looking right into her mother's eyes with her bright purple eyes, you can obviously tell how curious and excited she is.

"It was never seen again, it probably went crying back to it's hole" said Tanya as she moved her

brown hair tress away from her forehead.

"But if the darkness came back, will the sun be there to stop it again?" Asked Tracy.

"Of course, light will always prevail" answered Tanya with her perfect warm voice.

"Alright enough questions or you'll wake your brother and sister, sweet dreams little trickster."

"But moooomyyyy pleeease, am old enough to stay up till 10!!!" cried Tracy while holding her mother's robe tightly as a last try.

"Sweet dreams honey, mommy has a busy day tomorrow." Replied Tanya while gently taking her daughter's arm and placing it on her quilt.

Tanya then slowly stood up and walked towards the door, she closed the door gradually... as if she's trying to look at her kids as much as possible while leaving...it looks like a one-sided quick farewell...

She then walked deliberately towards the next room while lowering her head...she's shaking and trying to conceal her sadness, bitting her lower lips in process.

"Am ready" said Tanya...

A dark entity appeared behind Tanya! And then surrounded her from all directions with dark like protrudes, but just before she got covered completely a  girl's scream broke the sinister silence !!!

"MOOOOOMMYYY" screamed Heksie.

Tanya then without giving it a second thought dashed towards her and hugged her while screaming and sobbing, Heksie was so  confused and scared that she couldn't do anything!!!

Casey and Tracey then woke up after they heard the screaming sounds and quickly ran into the room to see what's happening, but it was too late, the dark entity had already covered Tanya and Heksie completely!!!

Tracey froze like a statue staring at  Tanya's arm that was still hanging outside the dark fluid while getting soaked slowly, it looked as if Tanya's arm was trying to reach out to Tracy, Casey then quickly hugged his sister and they both pinned down.

Suddenly the dark entity disappeared and Tanya along with Heksie vanished without a trace... leaving Tracey and Casey in a terrified state, Tracey quickly dissolved into tears as she begun screaming and calling for her mother, but it was for nothing... her mother never answered.

Casey tried comforting her but she never stopped, her sobbing and screaming reached out to the neighbours as they ran towards the house to inspect the case...

Tracy never saw her mother after that night... she was 8 years old.

.

.

.

10 years later...

Voices, faces, memories,a black shadow surrounding everything... all coming together at the same time, then a deep voice says:" Don't let your blood be stolen"!!!

"AAAAAAHHHHHH" screamed Tracy as she woke up from her nightmare.

Heavy steps coming downstairs are heared, suddenly Casey breaks into the room and jumps towards his sister.

(Casey is 25 yrs old tall male, with bright brown hair and black eyes, he is Tracy's older brother who took care of her since their mother's disappearance.)

"TRIXIE MY LITTLE CUSTARD PIE WHAT HAPPENED!????" yelled Casey.

Tracy extends her leg and quickly presses it on Casey's face to prevent him from reaching her while looking annoyed at him.

"It's nothing just a bad dream, gosh chill" she said.

"Ohh... so you don't need your older brother to hug you?" Said Casey.

"NO" answered Tracy.

"Oh ok, as long as you're okay now... by the way it's 7:50 so I guess you'll be late for the Academy's opening orientation" added Casey.

Tracy's eyes widened while turning her head slowly right to look at her green clock on her desk.

" 7 WHAAAATTTT, YOU AIR HEADDDD GOOD FOR NOTHINg HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME" shouted Tracy while she jumped away from her bed and started running in her room to prepare herself.

She then turns around to see her brother still inside her room, she then kicks him out of the room.

"GET OUT YOU IDIOT" while slamming the door.

Casey then stood up and smiles warmly and then walks slowly downstairs.

Tracys Rushes towards the house's door while holding a toast bread with her mouth, its 7.55 already; as she ran in the neighborhood a hand suddenly holds her shirt's neck and says "Hold it right there crazy head".

Tracy stopped and looked back to see a male with blue eyes and bright greyish hair standing, she knows the guy pretty well, infact they've known each other for a long time that they got sick from each other, Jerome her childhood friend.

"JEROME!!!! you're still here!?" Asked Tracy.

"Of course I am, knowing you pretty well you probably spent last night awake cuz you were too anxious and couldn't help but stay up... plus Casey is too soft on you so he probably won't wake you up". Answered Jerome.

"Yeah yeah whatever smart head, just take us there already you noble man". Said Tracy while holding Jerome from his back,( its 7.57 now).

"Heads up" said Jerome while he holds Tracy in his back "Thunder magic: Thunder skin".

His eyes start glowing and his body gets covered with bright blue sparks he suddenly dashes towards their destination.

He's going so fast that he looked like a blue flash running in the hallways of the neighborhood, while Tracy's hair flaps behind them.

They Finally reach their destination, "Main Muchra Magic Academy" hundreds of youngsters are gathered in the main grounds of the academy.

"wooh what a ride" said Tracy while tending her messed up hair.

"Never gets old, c'mon lets go Trix" said Jerome as he held Tracy's hand and ran towards the front gate leading to the academy (its 8.00 now).

"You're late....ahh just kidding, don't worry I won't ruin your day, please give me your IDs" said the soldier at the entrance.

"Thanks good sire, I appreciate your help" said Jerome.

"Don't worry about it, my name is Finn by the way nice to meet you guys" said the young soldier as he smiled to the two.

The pair then walk inside through the huge iron gates towards the group of new recruits, Tracy then held Jerome's hand firmly, she's too frustrated.

The two then take a seat infront of the orientation stage waiting for the event to begin.

"Well well... if it isn't the lovey dovey pair" said Hector,( thin male with brown hair and yellow eyes).

Tracey and Jerome look beside them to see two guys sitting next to them, they're their highschool colleagues Locus and Hector.

Locus is a hot headed and usually excited guy, he has an auburn hair with red eyes and he's fairly tall in height, he's in good terms with Trixie( he had a crush on her since his 1st year at highschool but couldn't confess to her) he also views Jerome (for obvious reasons) as a rival though he doesn't actually hate him.

"How fancy running into you guys in all this commotion" said Jerome.

"OMG HEY GUYS, I can't believe you two actually got accepted too!!!" Said Tracy.

"True, especially you Locus... cuz you can be quite dumb sometimes..." said Jerome with a visible grin.

"Shuttup milky head before I pound your face " answered Locus.

"C'mon you guys, let's enjoy this moment to it's full" said Tracy.

Suddenly the anthem of Muchra starts playing, all students stand up in respect to it.

The anthem's name is "May Light Shed On Us From The Heavens".

As the soundtrack ends gradually, a middle aged tall man appears from the backstage and walks slowly towards the newly graduated soldiers, he then stand at the orientation desk.

"Ahem, hello young ones and welcome aboard to our proud Academy, my name is Captain Sandlers and I will be one of your advisors in the academy, our top goal is to graduate remarkable soldiers that would have great benefit to our nation and in the meantime to help withstand the demon invasion that began 8 years ago..." said the Captain.

"As you all know magic has been used since ancient times, although it's still unclear to us when it first sparked; 80% of the population in the human realm possess the ability to manifest Magic, but only 40% of those have warfare significance thus we the proud soldiers of Muchra must work together to protect the weak regardless whether they use magic or they are considered nil...ahem, they cannot use magic.

"Hey he was about to say nilch right?" Whispered Hector to the others.

"Shhhhh don't say this word dude you know it's an insult" answered Locus.

"HECTOR MIND YOUR MANNERS INFRONT OF JEROME" said Tracy.

"It's fine guys chill" said Jerome.

All the newbies began murmuring and whispering, the topic sparked their juicy talks and it's clearly a serious issue.

"SILENCE EVERYONE!!!!" Said the Captain.

"Demons have been attacking the human realm since years and we still dont know their  objective, but they've taken alot of our lands since then... especially the Enchantment sector has faced huge loses... henceforth it is our duty as soldiers of Muchra  to restore peace and glory to our nation and kick back the demons to return peace to the realm" said Captain Sandlers while raising his fist up towards the sky as far as he could.

The audience then begun clapping their hands after he finished his speech.

"You will be in our care for 3 years, we seek to create golden soldiers that will be an asset for the future of our world... and who knows? maybe one of you may become the future Grand Wizard" Said Sandlers as he left his desk and the national anthem began again, th soldiers stood up and made the gesture of the army, placing the hands at the top of their heads.

"This is it Jerome...this is where we begin to reach our dreams..." said Tracy as she looked with her sparkling purple eyes at the academy.

"yeah!!, let's do our best everyone" said Locus.

The orientation ended and the recruits were discharged into their respective dorms until further notice...

Several hours have passed since the end of the orientation, and the new recruits are now fast asleep after a long and tiring day of unpacking and preparing their new rooms.

Jerome ended up in a room with Victor and Harry who are both first years, they spent sometime chatting and sharing their excitement about tomorrow, and ended up in what appears to be a friendship in the making. While Tracy ended in a room with two twin sisters "Rika and Risa" from the northern coast of "Muchra" the country where they all live in.

Locus and Hector unsurprisingly ended up together in a room with Shin, they didn't talk much and Shin appeared  to be quite distant from the two boys.

It is almost midnight and the Academy's lights are turned off, there are guards patrolling and standing around the grounds, suddenly one of the guards standing at the gate falls asleep, and a shady individual passes through him, the person then climbs the gate and enters the Academy grounds easily, the intruder then comes across a patrol soldier, the shady intruder then takes cover behind a wall and snaps its fingers! the soldier then quickly dives into a deep sleep at that insant!

The intruder passes through the sleepy man and begins climbing the walls of the males dormitory, it then reaches a window and taps on it,a shady guy then stands up inside the dark room and walk straight toward the window.

"I was expecting you" said the boy inside the room.

The two individuals then have a short conversation, it ends with the intruder handing the boy an item from it's pocket, the shady boy then closes the window and goes straight to bed while the intruder takes it's leave.

Later that night after sometime has passed, and somewhere in the dark attics of the city lies a group of sinister individuals forming a circle around a pentangular star in the middle of a pitch dark room, it is so dark that you can barely see anything except the lights of the candles scattered around and the shiny star.

"Dear fellow Sorcerers, it is time for us to begin our weekly sacred meeting, let us share our achievements and failures here and in the presence of our great grandmaster"

said one of the sinister looking cultists.

"Thank you my dear Sylvia, let's hear your report brother Carlos!" said one of the shady individuals who appears to be the leader.

"yes sir, the two youngsters have been accepted in the academy and will begin their duties accordingly" answered Carlos.

"Excellent!!! now whats left is up for them! let us pray for their success and that The Dark One will lend them his strength and wisdom!!!" said the leader.

"All hail The Dark One !! the bringer of darkness and purifier of the world!!!"

Chanted the cultists as their voices echoed across the sinister night and through the attics and streets of the city, it appeared as if the darkness was carrying their spirit and chanting their words with them while whispering "This is my will, from the beginning to the end of time!!!"
