Chapter 1 - Moon and Sun

The day when two stars collided and created a magnificent scene in the sky, but in this world stuff like this was normal and not uncommon. "Mirai, today is the entrance exam for the M'Gam Academy, we seriously can't be late on our first day. Are you seriously sleeping?!" Said Sao nervously. Mirai layed under the shade of the tree, his uniform on, surrounded by beautiful glowing Gedichts (Magical Flowers) as he lay on the grass and flowers. Up on a tall hill, the view was beautiful, the sky was so big, you could see the horizon and most of the city from here on this hill. Mirai layed his hand on his heart, "Augh…Sorry, my heart hurts for no reason…it'll get better later, let's go to the Academy", the two young boys walked down the steep tall hill, they walked through the flower fields, through the farms, through the murky water. At last they arrived at the Renowed school M'Gam Academy. The sky was dark as if it were night because of the two stars colliding, a greenish and purple aura coated the land. They had arrived outside of the academy but infront of them was a huge crowd, they weren't expecting this many people at all. They pushed their way through and meet a young girl, about their age. Her name is Kuom, when Mirai and Sao questioned her about the situation and why there was such a huge crowd, she shrugged. She suggested that they found out with her, Mirai and Sao agreed, they pushed through the massive crowd.

At last they arrived far enough into the huge crowd to see the renowed Academy engulfed and coated in flames, no one could possibly survive the intensity of those flames. But it looked intentional, Mirai just had a feeling….

While Mirai stood in thought, twirling his silver hair as he thought about this feeling and it's possibilities, Suddenly the crowd from infront of them started screaming, shouting and running as if they were about to die. They pushed their way through as they desperately trying to survive like worms. In the process many people were bound to get trampled and get serious injuries and even Die, which is exactly what happened to Kuom. Her head and body being stepped on a million times by many people, the people that selfishly didn't care to look below them. Her head being squashed, blood being released as her brain escaped from her broken skull, Ribcage comepletly broken, the rest of her bones were no exception. A horrible sight, but it was inevitable, if Mirai or Sao had tried to help they would've been in the same situation. They swallowed their morals as they looked away selfishly. The flames that reigned over the Academy growing even larger. When the crowd had dissapeared there sat a man on a pile of human bodies. A throne of men. He looked as though he was bored or tired, His right arm resting on the bodies as it supported his head. He spotted Mirai and Sao and smirked. Mirai and Sao assumed that this man must be the person who burnt the Academy, and even if he didn't, he was sitting ontop of a pile of human bodies, Hundreds on hundreds of bodies. In now way could this possibly be justified. Mirai signalled on what to do to Sao, it was a clear message "Avenge", Mirai and Sao both had no weapons but they ran up the hill as fast as they could, adrenaline pumping through their veins which made them even more faster and stronger, they reached the top of the hill, Mirai went in for a kick as Sao went in for a punch each from opposite sides, but suddenly the Man sitting raised his left hand, and instantly Mirai was forcefully pushed off the hill- by nothingness? As Sao was pushed up into the air, tied up, his hands and feet tied by ropes that looked of air or mist. Was this a Spirit or Wind user?

The man spoke, "Pardon me for not introducing myself, I'm Virone, pleasure meeting you…Kur-Mirai. You resemble someone I used to know…" Mirai was not fazed by this, Sao suddenly starting screaming, his hands and feet both tied and they were also moving apart slowly and forcefully giving incomprehensible amounts of pain to Sao but all he could do was shout and scream in agony. Akari in a fit of rage almost ran up the mountain of bodies, Virone with his hand still up, spoke "Did you forget? I may be using one hand but the other one is free" said Virone while disturbingly smirking seemingly enjoying these moments. Virone threw a knife down at Mirai, "Here use this next time, maybe it'll help you out" said Virone as he chuckled. He shifted his focus to Sao who was uncontrollably screaming in agony, Mirai had dissapeared when Virone looked back. "Where are you?! Did you run away?! I'm worried about you!" Said Virone, a voice behind him spoke, "Worry not". It was Mirai with that same knife Virone gave him but by now Sao wasn't screaming anymore. In his head he could hear two bells… in that moment the moon and sun, stood side by side.

Sao had died, and his spirit lived on in Mirai. Virone stoop up in fear and shock, as he turned around. Mirai sliced off both of his hands, his source of powers were gone now. Mirai stared at the vulnerable Virone. Mirai kicked Virone with great force, Virone was falling off the hill of bodies, he would surely die if he fell like this, he reached his hand out desperately. Mirai also held his hand out, but it wasn't enough. Mirai spoke in a menacing tone "It's not enough! Maybe if you still had you're hand I could've helped you…", Virone landed on his head, his neck snapping instantly, the bell rang once again but with a hint of a drum in Mirais mind…
