Recalling the past.

Chapter 2:

Rin swoops in and stops the man," Little girl, why do you interfere? You should know your place; girls shouldn't get caught up in fights." he tries to push Rin away. Still, with her magic ability that enhances her skills, she is ten times as strong as the man. The man is astonished to see her incredible power, while caught up in this mess Rin accidentally reveals her face from under her hood. “Sir, I think the boy has learned his lesson. You best leave him alone, or trouble may come." The man backs off but mumbles something in a low voice, while he walks away. Rin turns around to help the boy only to find that he has passed out from the last kick by the man. She picks him up and turns around only to realize a crowd has gathered around them. Rin stopped in motion and thought to herself. “This is terrible I'm currently on the run. My family can't find out about me," she quickly puts her hood back over her head again and runs off with the young boy. Rin finally finds a shady tree in the forest near the village, "This should do for now." Rin places the boy in the shade under a tree, a few moments later, he wakes up and is startled by Rin, "Don't worry, you're okay now.” The boy suddenly remembers what happened, “Thank you for saving me back there." Rin, staring off into the distance, “It’s no big deal, but what were you doing stealing food from his stall?" The boys' mood suddenly drops, “Well, you see, I don't have any other choice; otherwise ill starve to death. My parents both left me on the street to die because they didn't want a member from the Amber clan to be part of the family."

"So Ruby clan must be great. You get everything you want. You never have to worry about anything.", Rins' mood suddenly changes. She starts to get angry," Don't associate me with them, I hate them, that's why I ran away from home."

"Why would someone from the Ruby clan hate their own clan so much?" "My father tries to use me. I'm the second eldest sibling in my family, but I do better than all my brothers and sisters. My father always pays attention to the others and buys them everything they want, but he is very strict towards me. I ran away because I don't want to be his puppet, my dad is, after all, the one that planned the assassination against the emerald clan 11 years ago."

"I understand now, your situation makes much more sense, but how are you gonna hide now, the villagers already know your someone from the ruby clan, and you can’t wear a hood everywhere you go."

"Haha, don't you know the ruby clan has multiple magical abilities?"

"Yes, I envy you, all the other clans only have one magic ability: Sapphire (The second mightiest)– healing magic, Diamond(The third mightiest) -creation magic, Amber (The fourth mightiest)-nature magic, Amethysts (The lowest-ranked )- telekinesis or teleportation, and lastly Ruby (The mightiest clan)- have two or more magical abilities."

"Wow, kiddo, you are very knowledgeable, just because you knew all that I’ll tell you what my abilities are." "Firstly, I have creation magic like the diamond clan. Secondly, I have enhancement magic, and thirdly, the one that'll help me disguise myself; transformation magic."

"No wonder your dad was so obsessed with you, you have a lot of magical power."

"Yeah, I guess, so kid."

"Hey, stop calling me that I'm only two years younger, and besides, my name is Akito, not Kid!"
