I woke up abruptly.

with sweat all over my body, I wiped my forehead which was drenched with beads of sweat with a piece of cloth I always keep in my pocket.

"There is that dream again".

I know that I have experienced this certain dream countless times already, but I still couldn't help but voice out my thoughts.

I know what you might be thinking.

'It's just a random dream, why make a big deal out of it? ',

Right?.

In the beginning, I also thought the same that it was just a random dream and nothing much, but that dream started occurring more frequently to the point that it would become seemingly real.

In that dream, well it would be more accurate to say void because there was nothing but darkness no smell, no sense of temperature nothing.

But I was not alone, I could see a little girl with a lonely smile that for some reason made me sad.

I wonder who that girl is?

I could recollect seeing her face but I could not remember what she looked like.

With her small hand, she reached out to me and said with a small giggle.

"find me".

And I woke up like always.

It was confusing and frustrating, to say the least.

months passed and I tried methods both orthodox and unorthodox available to me to understand that dream better.

Orthodox methods include finding out about the identity of that little girl.

It was not possible because I know nothing about the little girl, no name, hell I don't even know if she is a witch or vampire or werewolf or any other race.

And unorthodox methods are well, unorthodox.

I used my magic to pry into my dream but it still failed while leaving me with the side effects of backlashing.

Some things make no sense and should not be trifled with, and dreams are one of those things.

Dreams are fragile and malignant.

Forcing magic upon their outcomes results in serious consequences.

And now I am suffering from sleeping problems.

Can't say I don't deserve it.

You reap what you sow, right?

Should have listened to my sister sooner.

First comes choices and second, comes regrets.

You know, I want to have an easygoing life and have all the time for myself to get as powerful as I can get.

I love feeling strong.

I love feeling powerful.

I love the feeling when I feel like I have everything under my control.

Then why am I searching for a little girl with no name and no nothing?

Why am I pursuing a stupid dream, wasting the valuable time that I would normally use to train my magic and sword?

I am a magic swordsman by the way.

For all I know, it could be nothing but a random dream, if it is then, why am I just frittering my time?

'argh... I'm starving '.

I got up from my bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up, I want to take my mind off things.

By the time I went down to the dining hall, I could smell something tasty waiting to be eaten by me.

"Are you ok?".

I heard the voice of my older sister tinged with concern and worry.

I turned to face her and said with a smile

"I'm fine"

"You don't look fine to me, though?", my older sister named Evera said as she gestured for me to sit beside her.

"I didn't get enough sleep last night", I said as I sat between her and my other sister, Cara.

They are identical twins by the way.

"ignore the dream, it will go away eventually". Said Cara as she started eating her breakfast.

I nodded my head as I too started eating my breakfast.

We were a family of eight.

My parents were blessed with three sets of twin children.

My oldest sisters were fraternal twins.

While Evera and Cara are the second oldest.

And last but not least a set of fraternal twins being me and my twin sister Xenovia.

We were happy.

But everything changed when the Demon world attacked our Mage world.

An army filled with Monstrous and disastrous beings led by the 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆-𝗧𝘄𝗼 catastrophic rulers of the underworld presided over by the Great Demon King, 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗼 who wanted pure supremacy and domination.

Their goal?

Anything they can get their hand on, women, runes, treasures, gold, all sorts of riches, and lastly Our world that is filled with rich essence called Mana.

Their army marched against our Mage world which is known as 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮 ruled over by the great Witch Queen and Wizard King.

They were the most powerful forces in our Mage world.

But wars cannot be accomplished by a single Army.

Two sides are required to toss a coin.

We retaliated.

Like the underworld, we also had our powerful mages known as Clan Nobles, they were the leaders of clans with unique but powerful magic and they numbered over 40.

They are said to be as powerful as the seventy-two rings of the underworld with some special Clan Nobles being even stronger, like my grandfather.

the Magic Knights and Hero tribe of our world fought with everything they had to save their world from the invaders paving the way for the next generation.

Even our King And Queen fought Valiantly beside our Army of the Magic Order.

But even with the might of our forces, Victory seemed unattainable.

We may have powerful forces but we lacked in numbers.

The Mage World had Quality but the Demon Army had overwhelming Quantity.

Their forces were just too great for the mage world alone to push back.

Just when everybody thought all hope is lost.

An unexpected appearance of The Vampire legion led by their Progenitor, 𝗩𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗿, and the Army of beasts ruled over by the Beast king of Werewolves, 𝗩𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗸 𝗙𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗶𝗿 brought the War to a standstill.

I said unexpectedly because there was no relationship of any sort between the Mage world and Vampire world or Beast world.

They had no reason to aid us in our battle for survival.

They gain nothing from this war.

With the unexpected aid from the vampire legion and Army of Beasts, the Demon Army stood no chance.

They finally pulled back.

We won that day.

But we lost many things as well.

Lives were lost both good ones and bad ones.

This happened twenty years ago when I was in my mother's womb.

My father and my grandparents participated in that war as well and were fortunate enough to come out alive.

My grandparents were strong they are considered to be the strongest after The Witch queen and Wizard King.

The Clan I belong to is known as 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲 Clan and is the strongest Mage Clan in our world.

Every Mage Clan has some Unique specialty of some sort, while our specialty lies in Abnormally large Mana pool.

Simply put, we're like the Uzumaki clan of the Shinobi world.

As the war ended.

Everything returned to normal.

It took three years to heal our wounds from the great war.

As it does, many changes occurred.

Some were welcomed while some aren't.

An alliance between the Mage world and Vampire World and Beast world was formed.

Very few welcomed this as they saw the bigger picture while the narrow-minded ones showed clear dissatisfaction.

This goes for all three worlds.

As for why the vampires and Werewolves helped us in the war.

That piece of information is restricted only to the Clan Nobles and Rulers of the Mage world.

Even though I am the heir to the Verninne Clan and from the main branch of the family, I am not obligated to know that piece of information.

My parent disappeared leaving a note saying they are going on an important journey and they had to bring Xenovia with them.

I asked my grandfather who is also our Clan Noble and Leader about my parents to which he replied lazily, "they are doing something very important, and I can't disclose that, but know that wherever they are they always love you and your sisters".

He thinks he is some kind of wise old man from a fantasy novel but I know that he is just a lazy old man.

It's not that big of a deal for people to disappear like that since we have a long life span, and people tend to disappear from time to time.

Why?

To find meaning in their tens of thousands of years of life or something.

But I call it Bullshit.

They just want to be lazy and leave trouble behind.

I knew my parents will return, so that doesn't concern me that much but my sister Xenovia leaving with them does.

I miss my twin sister, Xenovia terribly.

"What are your plans today?". My older sister Cara looked at me with a smile as her voice brought me out of my stupor.

"I have plans with my friends... We are going beast hunting".

"be careful, if you encounter any stronger beast just run, okay".Cara said with a serious face.

I nodded my head.

She is always been like that she is sweet and emotional.

She loves me so much just like I love her.

The same can be said for sister Evera too but she is... Complex.

You will understand soon enough.
