A new journey

Chapter 1:

(Kei is a 16-year-old boy living on the outskirts of a village in a forest.) “Why’d

you have to leave me so soon.” Kei covers Gran’s face. “Don’t worry I will make

your wish come true.”

The past few days Kei lives of the food that is left in the house, but he is

beginning to run out, so he makes the decision to travel to the capital of

Stiones.

There’s just one problem though, his eyes are the colour of Emeralds. If people see his eyes they’ll know he’s an Emerald clan survivor and they might turn him in, to the guards.

(13 years ago the Emerald clan was the highest and

mightiest clan, but the Ruby clan was overwhelmed with jealousy and assassinated

the entire Emerald clan. Or so they thought... O_O )

So, he can’t risk getting caught. Luckily for him his best friend’s dad owns a magic shop down by the village.

The next day Kei meets up with his best friend Shun.

As they lay on the cool green grass they start to talk.

 “So, Kei what are you planning to do now that you don’t have anywhere to stay?”,

“I’m going to the capital. There is something I must do.” Kei looks to the ground gloomily ,“...but I can’t let people see my eyes.”

Shun sits up straight. “That ain't a problem, I’ll try and sneak out some magic lenses from my father's shop." (They can change the colour of your eyes.)

He rushes off without saying another word.

Later that day Shun returns with a pair of magic lenses and throws them to Kei,

“Here take this.” Kei, with a confused look on his face.

“...but, what’s that on your back, you look like a turtle.”

Shun grins and a sly smile spreads across his face.

“I’m coming with you bastard. Who knows there might be a lot of cute girls along the way.

Besides, you know my family doesn't really like to be associated with me, so I’m

doing them a huge favour.”

So, the two of them sleep for the night, and set of

on their journey early the next morning.

-----Somewhere else in Stiones--------

[ In the middle of the night Rin runs away from home...the guards are chasing after her... it’s a high-speed chase.

She tries to outrun them by using magic to enhance her skills, but she spots some lights up ahead.)

Rin suddenly wakes up, “Judging by the sky it’s currently late at night",

“What a horrible memory.”

Akito yawns, turns around and faces Rin. He’s clearly not fully awake.

“Rin are you okay?”

Rin smiles, “Yeah just a bad dream,

c’mon get some sleep now.” she tucks Akito into bed again,

“I’m so glad we met, I would’ve been so lonely without you these past few years.”

(Rin has a flashback of how they met.[Continue from where the guards were chasing her.]

Rin follows the light and it leads her to a village.

“I didn’t know there was a village here, it’s my lucky day!”,

She rests in the village and replenishes herself. The next morning she decides to explore and look through the town.

While walking through the town’s

main street she witnesses a fight.

A small boy was being beaten up by

what seems to be an owner of one of the stalls. The grown man yells.

“You brat! You thief! This is the third time this week I catch you stealing my food!”,

the man kicks him in his chest and with a *bang*, the boy falls to the ground

and some food falls out of his pocket. The man proceeds to go in for another

kick, but…
