The sun shon brightly across all of Alias Empire and hovered over Alias Castle. Alias Castle stands on top of the Alias hills looking over the Empire. Alias castle is home to, King Itoya Malik Renal, his wife Queen Mai Kyoko Renai and their only daughter Princess Akemio Jazmine Renai. King Itoya is a masculan man with black hair and deep purple eyes. He is a strong king and rules the Empire proudly. He is a kind and genourous King who is loved by his family and his people.

King Itoya doesn't just have the responsibility of running a kingdom, but also protecting Alias's secret. The secret of a single scroll. The scroll contains a piece of Alias's history that holds a legend of a historical moment in Alias, and a letter that's written on the scroll like clues. If the scroll was in the wrong hands all of Alias Empire would be in danger. With the scroll being in the hands of the king no one in Alias has seen the scroll for themselfs so its classed as a legend to the people of Alias Empire. King Itoya had read the scroll so many times and and thought nothing of the scroll. However, when his daughter Princess Akemio was born, a year later he noticed things about his daughter that didn't seem normal for a child. Fifteen years later when he once again pulled the scroll out and read it one more time he finally understood the scrolls secret and decided to asign someone to protect his daughter.

King Itoya placed the scroll back in the chest were it was kept. He had woken up during the night feeling concerned about his daughter and had pulled the scroll out to read. The sun came through the bedroom window lighting up his and Queen Mais room. Queen Mai woke up, her wavy brown hair messy from sleep and her blue eyes lit up with the light in the room. She looked over to her king "my love whats the matter you look worried". King Itoya smiled at his wife as he walked round to her side of the bed. King Itoya sat down next to his wife "darling I've decided to assign someone as a protector for Akemio". Queen Mai touched her kings face "you know she wont like that to much, she is nearly seventeen and hasn't needed a protector before". King Itoya touched his queens hand "this will be best for her". Queen Mai looked down at her lap, "this has something to do with her ability's right" King Itoya nodded. "Ime going to go make a call now, hopefully the one that we want will be able to make it hear today".

Queen Mai climbed out of her bed and put her dressing gown round her "alright lets just hope Akemio will be alright with what you have chosen to do". King Itoya walked to the door and stoped, "at the end of the day I am the King of the Empire so she wont realy have an option, she may hate me for it but its for her own good". King Itoya left without saying anything else just as the maid Kumiko, head maid at the castle walked in. "Morning your majesty". Queen Main smiled "Morning Kumiko is Princess Akemio up yet". Kumiko shook her head as she placed clean clothing on the queens bed. "I sent Hannah to go wake her your majestic she should be on her way there now". Queen Main opened the bedroom door, "I will proberbly meet her on the way to Akemio's room so I will go and surprise Akemio, I havn't woken her up myself in a while". Kumiko bowed at Queen Mai with a smile, the queen was so sweet and kind she couldn't help but love serving her.

Queen Mai left the room and headed down the hallway towards Akemios room when she was joined by Hannah her daughters maid. "Oh your majesty good morning Ime just heading to her highnesses room to wake her". Queen Mai smiled at Hannah "no worries I will come in with you alright".

Queen Mai and Hannah reached a set of double doors at the end of the corridor. Hannah knocked on the doors "your Highness I'me comming in". They walked into the dark room and Queen Mai headed towards a big bed in the centre of the room. Akemio was still fast asleep, her wavy brown hair that she had inherited from her mother was spread across the pillow and her angel face looked peaceful as she slept. Queen Mai gently brushed her daughters hair away from her face. "Akemio, Hannah is here time to wake up". Akemio stired and woke up glancing up at her mother. Queen Mai gave a smile as her daughters deep purple eyes, like her farthers glittered in the sun light as Hannah pulled the curtains back.

"I came to wake you hunny, your farther needs to see you before you head to the Academy". Akemio nodded at her mother "alright I'me up mother". Akemio sat up and Queen Mai kissed her on the forhead. " Alright hunny get changed and I will see you in the dining hall with your farther, " Akemio nodded as Queen Mai turned and left the room.

Akemio turned and looked at Hannah, "do you have any idea why farther needs to see me its unusual for my mother to come and wake me". Hannah pulled out Akemios uniform "I'me sorry your highness but I have no idea". Akemio walked to her dressing table "I hope it's nothing to worry about to much". Hannah smiled as she tied Akemios collar ribbon. "I'me sure it isn't your Highness". Akemio looked in the mirror of her dressing table and nodded towards Hannah. Hannah turned and collected some of Akemios clothes "well I best get going I have jobs to do around the castle so enjoy your day, your highness". Akemio smiled as she called out to Hannah "thank you".

Akemio made her way downstairs to the dinning room passing many guards in the corridor. Akemio stoped and turned round to look behind her, it seemed that the rota of the guards had been changed. Akemio reached the dinning room doors to see Ryan and Takano standing by the doors to the dining room. Akemio had known these two guards for a long time. "Morning Ryan, Takano your usually outside on guard". Ryan, the tall blond haired guard smiled at Akemio meeting her gaze with his green eyes "morning your highness, his majesty changed the rota early this morning so me and Takano we're placed here". Ryan glanced over at the tall quiet guard with black hair and brown eyes. Takano bowed respectful, "that is correct your highness". Takano gave a gentle smile at Akemio and opened the dining room doors, "your breakfast is served your highness". Akemio walked through the doors "thank you, we will have a chat later alright". Ryan and Takano nodded "sure will highness".

The dining room doors closed behind Akemio and she joined her mother and farther at the dinning room table. King Itoya looked up to Akemio as she walked in "morning Princess Akemio". Akemio gave a respectful bow to her farther and mother before sitting across from them, "Morning farther". King Itoya watched his daughter, "Akemio I need to talk to you about something". Akemio looked up from eating her toast "mother said something like that". King Itoya placed his spoon down and stood up. He walked towards the large windows in the dining room that looked out upon the castle gardens and cleared his throat before begining to speak. "Princess Akemio Jazmine Renai I have made the decision to asign a High Lord knight to become your protector from today". Akemio stood up in shock at her farther "your joking right". King Itoya gave a small sigh, he knew his daughter to well, he knew this would be how she would react towards his decision.

Akemio shook her head, "No I don't need one farther and you know it, besides there is no one in this kingdom that is as good as I am, besides why would the High Lady Knight of Alias need a protector its silly, I refuse, I don't need one". King Itoya turned round to face his daughters angry face before walking over to her and placing a hand on her head. "I knew you we're going to refuse from the begining Akemio". Akemio felt annoyed if he had known, then why had he mentioned it in the first place. King Itoya removed his hand from his daughters head as he straightened up and looked down at his only daughter his aura changed and Akemio felt over powered. "As King of the Alias Empire and your farther Akemio, you will accept having a High Lord Knight as your protector, it is an order as King of Alias". Akemio felt irritated seriously her farther had never used his title before on her. "If you do not follow the order I have given and refuse to accept my decision for you then you will be stopped from attending the Academy and will have one of the guards watching your every move Akemio".

Akemio felt anger bubbling to the surface as her farther gave her the order, and pretty much told her what the punishment would be if she refused again. "Farther I am an, A Class Lady knight of the Academy and also the strongest High Lady knight of the Empire, I don't understand why only now are you assigning me a High Lord Knight as my protector when I can defend myself". King Itoya looked at his daughter calmly. "I am aware of that Akemio but your not just the High Lady Knight of Alias Empire are you, your also the Princess of Alias and the next ruler of the Empire also... " King Itoya glanced over at Queen Mai who nodded towards him "what is it farther" Akemio watched her parents looking from one another and then at her.

King Itoya took his seat at the dinning room table, "your ability Akemio, I figured out what it could be". Akemio held her palm up as a familiar tingle spread through her arm to the palm of her hand, a purple flame glowed and lit up in the centre of her palm. King Itoya took Akemios hand and nodded as he folded her hand back up in a fist. "That Akemio I believe is one of the Alias Empire flames which is a great ability to have and comes with a great responsibility". Akemio looked at her farther "what do you mean". King Itoya squeezed his daughters hand, "listen, a long time ago there was two royal siblings they we're twins, Prince Malik Renai and Princess Jazmine Renai". Akemio listened to King Itoya and remembered reading a book in the castle library about the rein of King Malik Renai and the kings twin sister Princess Jazmine.

"The king and queen at the time payed alot more attention to their son Prince Malik as he was the next ruler of Alias therefore Princess Jazmine spent most of the time on her own, the problem had been going on scince the twin siblings had been young children so the Princess grew up on her own most of the time". Akemio felt a little confused "how has this anything to do with my abilities". King Itoya lifted his hand up to silence Akemio.

"Back then there was a power called the Alias Flame and Sword that only Alias Empire had and it protected Alias. Princess Jazmine heard of the power and wanted nothing more than to take her brother off the throne and let him see what it had been like growing up in the shadows". It was the first time Akemio had heard of this version of the story. "The only problem was that if the Flame and sword we're used for selfish gain Alias would become nothing more than ash, Princess Jazmine didn't know the consequence of the power so when her brother Prince Malik became King, he heard of what she had planned to do, he had no choice but to deal with his sister on his own. He sent there cousin who was the leader of the Empire Knights and warriors at the time, to search for the Flame and Sword before his sister found them first". Akemios eyes widened as her farther neared the end of the story.

King Itoya looked at Akemio. "The Flame and Sword we're indeed found and a scroll was sent to the castle enclosing a note and clues to find the Flame and Sword. That scroll is now under the protection of the royal family of Alias here in the castle". Akemios eyes widened no way, she thought the scroll had been a legend. "Akemio if I'me right about your abilities being part of the Alias Flame and anyone was to find out you would be in serious danger, that's why I'me assigning you a High Lord Knight to protect you". Akemio stood up looking at her farther "I've had the ability of the flame scince I was young farther and no one knows about it, I've had no problems with keeping it hidden either". King Itoya held his hand up to silence Akemio again, "I've made my decision its up to you to accept it, your High Lord Knight protector will be hear today and you will meet him properly tonight". Akemio glared at her farther as he moved away from the table and headed towards the dining room door "that's enough for now if you don't get going your going to be late into the Academy".

Akemio pushed her chair in "Mother I'me not happy about this at all". Queen Mai walked round the table to Akemio and kissed her on the cheek, "I know hunny but as king he has given an official order, there isn't anything you can do and neither can I even though I'me his wife, but your farther does have a point hunny remember that, he loves you and wants you safe". Queen Mai watched as Akemio walked towards the doors and smiled to herself, it was amazing how much farther and daughter we're so alike. Akemio headed out the dining room she knew her farther had his reasons but she still felt unhappy about the whole thing. Akemio walked out to the front of the castle and climbed in the sleek black and silver car that awaited her. The car drove out the drive, and through the gates at the entrance of the castle walls, Akemio felt relieved as she left the castle and headed to the Academy.

Alias Academy stood not to far away from Alias Castle. The Academy works with Royals, Knights and Warriors and teaches about the Empire. The Academy provides education for Royals of Alias and helps train Knights to protect the Empire whist working with Warriors who provide the Knights with weapons and uniforms. It also provides the opportunity for new student to work along side the Royal family and different noble families within the Empire. To attend the Academy tests are performed for new commers at the Academy, however Akemio being the Empires Princess and next ruler, it was the only Academy that Royals could attend. Lord Junto, the chairman of the Academy requested that Akemios title as Princess of Alias was to be kept quiet,

as it would lilekly cause alot of complications for Akemios education at the Academy and it would be fair if she was treated the same way as other students at the Academy. King Itoya accepted Lord Juntos request as long as Akemio was known as High Lady Knight AJ. With Lord Junto agreeing to the Kings condition of Akemios name, she was accepted into the Academy witout a problem.

With Akemios title kept quiet at the Academy, Akemio had started at the Academy when she was twelve and in her time spent at the Academy she had become friends with four other girls at the Academy. Akemio and her friends took classes together thoroughout the years at the Acadeny, and formed a close relationship with them that helped form the A Class Knights of Alias Academy. Scince Akemio and her friends we're so close, King Itoya gave Akemio purmision to tell her friends what her title was. Even after her friends found out she was the Princess it never changed their friendship.

Akemios car pulled up outside Alias Academy and she got out slamming the car door behind her. Akemio turned towards the big silver gates leading up to the Academy and took a deep breath, she felt better than she had before. She walked through the sliver gates and looked round for her friends.

There was a tall girl walking towards Akemio who smiled at her before rushing over. "AJ are you alright", Akemio nodded it was Lady Yuka Hikarou, a tall blond haired girl with brown eyes. Yuka is the younger daughter of the Hikarou family, who work with the guards at the castle her older brother Lord Ryan, is the guard that Akemio met early that morning. Akemio sighed "don't say your ok when we can clearly see your not". Akemio looked over to see Lady Akera Nami walking up to them. Lady Akera Nami is a sporty red haired girl with green eyes and is the second daughter of the Nami family. Akeras farther is a member of King Itoyas group of advisers. Akera put her arm around Akemio, "you look like you have something on your mind AJ". Yuka and Akera gave Akemio a squeeze "let me join in". Lady Miyu Hiroshi was the smallest out of the girls with black hair and yellow eyes. Miyu is the only girl of the Hiroshi famiy but has a twin brother who attends the South Alias Academy, her parents work closely with Queen Mai in the courts. Miyu squeezed in next to Yuka as she joined the group hug. "What's going on here". Akemio, Yuka, Akera and Miyu glanced up to see Lady Sora Akita stop in front of them, she had dark blue hair with light blues eyes and is the oldest daughter of the Akita family. Her family worked with any technology in the Empire and brought out new ways using technology to protect the kingdom. Miyu held her hand out to Sora "Ime not sure myself but, by the looks of it AJ isn't feeling to happy right now so I joined in the group hug". Sora looked at Akemio, "your right let's go to the dining room and AJ you can tell us what's wrong alright". The three girls let go of Akemio as Sora reached for Akemios hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

They reached the Academy dining room and took there seats in the usual corner. " I think this calls for hot chocolate don't you". Akemio smiled at Sora as she sat down, "yh I think so". Sora and Akera header of to get the drinks. "You know by the way you slammed the car door I could tell u weren't ok". Akemio looked at Yuka "you could tell just by me slamming the car door", Yuka nodded "no wonder Yuka noticed, you don't usually slam doors AJ". Akemio glanced over at Miyu "your right I don't". Sora and Akera placed the hot chocolates on the table and handed them out. Akemio wrapped her hands around the warm cup. Sora and Akera sat across the table "so what happened AJ". AJ looked down at her cup as Sora looked over at her. Akemio smiled as she seen her favorite double cream hot chocolate, even Sora had noticed something was up and bought her drink that she drank when she felt down.

Akemio looked round at her best friends before placing her head on the table "My farther gave me an order today, he hasn't ever done that before". Sora placed her hand on Akemios, "that's unlike the King to officially give you an order, what was it". Akemio looked out the window next to her, "He decided that I was being assigned a High Lord Knight to protect me, and if I refused he would stop me comming to the Academy for my own safety, I think its rather silly for an A Class Knight to have a protector when they already know how to defend themselfs, but my farther turned round and said that I couldn't refuse and that was that". Yuka drank some of her hot chocolate "there has to be more to it than that right". Akemio turned back to her friends, they didn't know of her ability's yet and her farther had told her she couldn't say anything about them, "there is more to it obviously but either way I will be meeting the High Lord Knight who is to protect me tonight". Miyu tapped Akemios shoulder "you never know you might get on with the High Lord Knight". Akera gave a big smile "there isn't much we can do like but we can promise you, if this knight won't let you spend some time alone with us girls we will sneak you away alright". Akemio laughed a little and downed her hot chocolate "thanks girls, besides I'me not going to just let him protect me, I will still defend myself as well". Yuka laughed "thats right".

Akemio and her friends we're still laughing when the dining hall went quiet and students started whispering. Akemio looked round "what's going on, why is everyone wispering like that". Yuka pointed to the entrance of the dinning room hall we're five lads walked in. Yuka moved her head closer to Akemio, "my guess is the five new lads over there". Akemio looked over "perhaps, there not exactly from around here are they". Akera shook her head "maybe new students in the Academy". Miyu looked over to where the girls we're looking and a big smile spread across her faceas she stood up. Akemio and the other girls looked up at the standing Miyu. "Hey Mukuto you finaly came back". The girls gave a confusing look at Miyu before looking back to the five new lads. One of the lads who was tall with black hair looked in there direction. He seen Miyu and waved back befor reckoning the four other lads to follow him. Akemio looked back to Miyu "Mukuto, you mean your twin brother Lord knight Mukuoto, I thought he attended the South Alias Academy, that's a few hours away from here". Miyu smiled "I know I was surprised when I got a call this morning from him saying he would see me today and he would be with his group from South Alias Academy".

Akemio fell silent as Mukuto and the four other lads came to there table "brother its good to see you, its been a while". Mukuto smiled at Miyu giving her a hug "its good to see you to". Miyu turned to Akemio and her friends 'This is my twin brother Mukuto Hiroshi, with the South Academy being a couple of hours away he stays in the dorms down there with his group of friends". Miyu looked towards her brother and his friends with a smile "Mukuto I want you to meet my friends here at Alias Academy". Miyu pointed to the girls and pointed each of them out "The blond haired girl is Lady Knight Yuka," she turned to Sora and Akera, "the blue haired girl is Lady Knight Sora, next to her is Lady Knight Akera". Miyu glanced back to Akemio, "finaly this is our leader of the A Class Knights, High Lady Knight AJ of Alias Empire". Akemio stood up "Welcome to the North Alias Academy for Royals, Knights and Warriors". Mukuto gave a respectful bow "High Lady Knight AJ, we have heard plenty about you at the South Alias Academy, we have also heard of things that you have done throughout the Empire, in helping the Knights a while ago to look for the people that we're involved in burning one of the towns down, They say your strong and confident thoughs words suit you well". Akemio didn't know what to say as far as she was concerned she was doing the right thing that's all it was.
