Kaito races through the forest, his legs pumping and his lungs burning. The trees seem to be getting thicker and thicker, and he's having a hard time seeing what's in front of him. Suddenly, he trips and falls, rolling over and over until he comes to a stop at the foot of a tree. He sits up and looks around, trying to get his bearings. "Can I even catch her!?" he shouts, his voice echoing through the forest. He gets up and starts running again, his feet flying over the forest floor. After 10 straight minutes of running, he finally makes it out of the forest. He races across the field and up the hill that he remembers the town being on.
"Please, please still be here!" Kaito yells. He sees the town, but he also sees Moon in the air, casting a spell. Three rings of magnificent light appear behind Moon and swirl. "Mom no!" Kaito pleads
As Kaito pleaded with his mother not to cast her spell, she ignored him and turned her back on him. The spell was cast, and the town was engulfed in golden light. Kaito looked on in horror as he saw the town shimmering. He knew that he was responsible for what had happened, and he felt a deep sense of guilt.
Moon lands on the ground next to Kaito. "Why, would you do that?!" Kaito yells at his mother.
"Hello?" The voice of the young man Eric speaks to Kaito. Kaito looks over at him, and the town, all completely intact. "HUH?!" Kaito shouts shocked that they're all fine. Eric seems confused. "How may i help you two?" He asks them.
Moon comes in with a friendly smile. "Hello, sorry excuse me and my son we're just passing by." She peacefully says. Eric accepts this answer and he walks away.
Kaito looks at his mother surprised. "I- i thought you-" Kaito is too stunned to even speak!
Moon looks at him and then looks at the town. "You thought i was gonna kill those people?!" Moon says before bursting into laughter. "Why would I kill a town full of people!!" She continues laughing at Kaito.
Kaito isn't amused by his mother laughing at him after what she just put him through! "Relax, baby, I'm just messing with you. I just cast a little memory-erasing spell," she says, relieving Kaito. "It's useful for getting rid of, unwanted situations." She says while still laughing.
After more of Moon's laughing her and Kaito return home. Kate and Kaid were still there and they're relieved to see Moon in a better mood.
Kate steps up first. "It's good to see you're in a better mood mom." Kate starts. "But can you tell us why they reacted to us like that?"
Kaid rubs his head. "I've been dying to know!" He shouts.
Moon takes a deep breath. "As you kids know, we are called Kaya, we're a clan of mages once known for our fighting prowess and skills, But a long time ago a large scale attack happened on the empire, they lost numbers of people too broad to say." Moon says before taking a break.
She looks back up. "We were blamed for the attack and the entire name of us was tarnished, the empire imposed a kill on sight policy with the Kaya. Too ordinary folk all they know us for nowadays is that we're extremly dangerous, unpredictable, and untrustworthy. That is why the world fears us and we stay in the forest away from others." Moon explains and the kids are shocked by the revelation.
Kaid looks up to Moon. "A long time ago, dad found a guy in the village while we were training, he called us the Kaya clan and got super scared, is that why?" Kaid asks. Moon nods.
Kate raises her hand. Moon laughs. "You don't need tp rasie your hand Kate." She says.
"How come no one ever found the forest, other then that one guy?" Kate asks Moon.
Moon smiles. "That's because we used a blood sigil, When founding this new home, so other people when they walk into the forest without having the blood of a Kaya they're trapped in an endless maze that always puts them back at the exit, this goes for all sides. That way the only way in is through one of us!" Moon happily explains.
"That still doesn't answer how that one guy got in." Kaid says. "Your father brung the man in himself for one of his sadistic games." Moon says almost snarling. Kaid shakes his head, but then remembers that the man had brung up ruins. "Dad must've left something about something bringing it up laying around and gave the man a way in." Kaid concludes.
Moon nods. "He wanted to teach you and Kaito to kill without reason, i'm glad you two didn't do it." Moon explains.
Kaito has been unusually quiet. When asked what's wrong, he sadly says "it's not fair that we were blamed for things we didn't do, and now we have to hide away." He says.
Moon smiles understanding where he's coming from. "I get it, But the people who control the world don't care about fair, they make the rules." Moon explains
.
Kaito then smiles with a renewed vigor. "I don't care if they're the ones who make the rules, if that's the case i'll just take the whole world!" Kaito says and Kaid laughs. "You idiot that's impossible." Kaid says as he gives him a nuggie. Kaito smiles. "Watch me!" Kaito Nakaya challanges the world!
