Sunset

"Race you to the edge?" Sneak asked me, his expression filled with youthful exuberance.I'm completely drenched with fountain water and this boy wants to have a race with me?"Let's go!" he shouted."Wait-!" I screamed back, not even ready. "Not fair!"We ran like the swift gales crisscrossing the high alps. We ran like there was absolutely nothing to lose. We ran not to go somewhere, but to indulge in the act itself.When was the last time I have ever allowed myself to run just for the heck of it? Back when I was still an infant, ignorant of the injustices in life? Back when I was an older child, dressed up as a little boy, off to Sun God knows where?Frankly, I missed this simple action, and like my name, I felt free."Stop that ruckus you little whelps!""Gah! My cabbages!!!"*CRASH*"Ha ha ha ha!!!" The boy's merry laughter invited my own. And soon, we were both laughing and running and jumping.

The Ghost of a Political Marriage

"Umm..." the boy asked hesitantly, probably worried that the enchanting atmosphere would be broken. "So, how do we get out of here?"Funny he would ask because... I, too, had no idea.I was already getting a bit irritated as the darkness of the night didn't offer any suggestions. In fact, it answered my woes with an army of fire bugs, as though I was asking for something to make the night more delightful and beautiful.But, here's the thing. It's night time, and when the sun's out, I've got to run straight back home, because if not... I'm dead. Here I am, twice-killed in a single day by my beloved guardian, Regina."I'm gonna be late... again." I let my body fall onto the mini-floating island's soft grass. I allowed myself to dismember the grass from the soil to ease my frustration. "I am so dead... Why did I have to jump into this island... Why??""You know..." I heard the boy sit down beside me, sounding utterly at ease. "We can jus

Assassins

Today's lesson with Regina was magic maintenance and endurance. Well, it was basically just testing how long I could hold up a ball of notes in between my hands."Keep it steady," she warned from beside me. "The size is getting smaller, and the color is getting dimmer."Minute changes were harder than simply conjuring up notes. But with improvement, I felt that I could at least control the strength of the magic ball as I willed... If I could at least last five minutes this time...The fire sputtered and sparked. "No!"Regina chuckled, her red eyes squinted in delight of my predicament. "Four minutes and 38 seconds. Not bad, for a child.""... I was aiming for five," I grumbled, conjuring up another ball but when it started flickering almost at once, I hurled it towards a nearby target in frustration.The Second Magician of Elrock stretched out her nimble body like a cat under the sun. She looked nothing like the magicians I have imagined, wi

The Order's Inauguration Ceremony

The door closed behind us with a resounding bang. I gulped down my fear, yet realized I had far more still gathering up in my arsenal. The assassins' gazes were like prickling stings on my exposed skin, and for once, I wanted to be dressed in conservative girl's wear so I could hide away from their attention."Uh..." the assassin girl murmured beside me, probably realizing the reason for their hostile looks. Fidgeting even more, she turned to me with panicking eyes, and whispered hurriedly, "I don't think you're allowed here...""You think?" I whispered back with a slight glare, although I knew I was far too frightened to ever look threatening.'So, what am I supposed to do now?'I looked around the room and found about one familiar face, and even so, I doubt she would help me out. Eleina and I had only met a handful of times, and even then, we didn't talk much aside from the usual niceties...'Wait, did she just shake her head at me quite disappro

Killduck

"No," I wanted to say. "Absolutely not!"Yet, this last bout of shocking news had taken its toll on my weary body, and just as I opened my mouth to utter my answer, I had already succumbed into sleep.My dreams this time were a clutter of incoherent images. There was a moment when I was in complete darkness, and all I could hear was the flapping of wings. In another second, I saw a decrepit, but magnificent building with countless spires and barred windows. And lastly, my dreams took me back into the grass field where I had danced with the sleeping creature. I approached it, staring at its tenderly sleeping face, and when I had come close enough to touch it, it suddenly opened its mouth and shrieked.I woke up with a start, only to find myself wondering if I was still in a dream. Right at my face was a white thing that kept moving around erratically. I screamed, and hastily moved back, and in the process, I had fallen right out of my bed and onto the hard floor.

An Assassin's Mission

Unwittingly, I had fallen into a light sleep, and Eleina had to gently prod me awake. Sitting up slowly and rubbing at my eyes, I realized that what happened had really happened, and I might just have killed the seeds of friendship that had just started growing."I'm sorry to disturb your rest, princess," Eleina said softly, as though worried I might be too bothered by the noise. "But, Sir Elmar is waiting for you.""I understand," I said, standing up to stretch. I looked at the assassin woman as I did so. Her hair was a lighter brown than mine and I would think that if exposed to sunlight, it would appear blonde. I murmured, "I would like to ask something before we leave, though..."She looked at me quizzically. "Of course.""Have you seen that white-haired girl around? I think her name was Zepherin," I asked, trying to keep my expression stoic.At first, Eleina looked like she didn't understand what I had just said, but then her face suddenly tur

A Mentor's Advice

"Miss Eleina," Farseer called to the woman in a soft voice. He had stood up from his side of the room and started to approach us. "Would it be a great trouble if you would allow the princess and I some time alone?"Eleina quickly nodded and bowed before heading out of the room. The door clicked softly shut, and silence once again resounded. Farseer only stared at me."... What?" I murmured, looking down again at my hands. The shaking had lessened.I felt, rather than saw, him sit down on the chair Eleina had just left empty. Becoming more conscious of the silence, I cautiously peeked up to observe his face. He was looking at me with an unusual expression; much like the one a confused inventor would have on his own face when he sees an abnormality on his treasured machine."Farseer?" I uttered, silently bothered by his look."It seems like I have miscalculated by a considerable margin," he muttered, still staring straight at my eyes, but his gaze se

Days as Trainee

Now, here comes the long days that spanned my life as an assassin trainee.Frankly, it was mostly repetitive. I would train my body from the first signs of morning until the sun had fully awoken. In the afternoons, I would study with the other trainees. I would eat a meager meal and live a simple life. Ever since I had agreed to Eva's invitation, we had signed a small contract. I would try it out, and I would even live temporarily inside the Order, but I won't be forced to undergo the inauguration unless I truly wanted to."You seem to be keeping at it," Zepherin called out from behind me. I finished my morning training by landing a particularly heavy punch at the combat dummy. It released a puff of dust but didn't break apart.I panted a little as I turned towards her. It was slow, but she was gradually getting closer to me. She probably still didn't forgive me for my harsh words at that time, but I suppose she could still tolerate my presence. After all, Eva a

First Lesson

"Hold on," I stopped the girl from continuing on. "The man with the cleft chin and the small body is Assassin Torno. The big one with thick lips is Assassin Igor. The woman with the owlish eyes and red hair is Assassin Telly... and uh...""Vincentus with the ghostly demeanor," Zepherin drawled out."Oh, right!" I shouted. "I distinctly remember him from the ceremony. He was quite... rude."My white-haired companion huffed in anger. "That's an understatement.""Okay..." I mumbled, counting down the names I had finished calling out. "That leaves Eleina and someone else. Hmm... I keep forgetting!"A gentle yet precise set of knocks came from my bedroom's door. "Come in," I called out softly, knowing how thin the walls were in these wing of trainees' quarters.A light brown head peeked inside, gentle waves showing off its beauty even when hidden in a low ponytail. I smiled. "Assassin Eleina, good evening.""Good evening, Eleftherion, Zeph

Combat Training and Unsteady Feelings

The assassin's long lesson still filled my head, and I had to compose myself before standing up. Looking around the now empty room, it seemed like I was the last one to leave. I had just stepped outside of the room when I heard her voice again. "You really seem to believe in that theory of yours."Leila was standing by the hallway, right beside the door. Staring closer, I realized she was gently caressing a hanging figure of the Order's emblem; the carved figure holding a shocking likeness to the creature in my dream."I suppose you have your own reasons for having such a belief," Leila continued, her dark skin creating an even more mysterious aura underneath the dim corridor lights. "But I do am curious about one thing... Prophecy boy?"I gulped down deeply. My contract with Eva had included partitions where I shouldn't disclose any information about my true sex and about how I might be the prophesied person the head assassin has seen in her dreams. Whatever th
