It was a bright and beautiful morning in the city of Prontera. The air was fresh and refreshing. Occasionally a breeze would sweep by like a delicate touch on the skin.

The birds were singing their sweet melody which rang through the air and soothed the ears of those who heard it.

In one particular shop at the heart of the city, a familiar event was taking place; one that had been happening for quite some time. 'Oh here she comes.' He said to himself as he looked out at the window to see a teenage girl who wore the robe of a mage. She had a long and cherry colored hair with big puppy-like green eyes. She always came to the shop at exactly 10 in the morning to buy something. He didn't know what she bought because he was only paying attention to her and not what she was doing.

'Clink-a-link!' The shop's door bell rang as she opened it and entered.

"Ah! Mizuki! Good morning." The shopkeeper smiled and greeted the female mage as she approached the counter. He then reached for something underneath.

"Here you go. Enjoy your day!" He handed her a package wrapped in brown paper.

"Thank you sir! Goodbye!" Before she left the store she caught a glimpse of someone peeking at her from behind a shelf. "Hmmm." She thought to herself and walked out.

"Ahhh. Why can't I have the courage to talk to her?" The person who was peeking stepped out revealing himself to be a young blonde acolyte. He first saw her when he decided to go out for morning walks because his teacher told him that it was good for the body and essential for a priest to have the ability to wake up in the early morning. He was stretching his legs and arms when something red caught his eyes and he turned to see flowing red hair blowing against the wind. Then the person turned and he saw her face. Like sunshine and the stars it shined into his heart.

"Hey you! I always see you hanging around here this time of day but you don't buy anything! It's the money way or the highway you get me?!" The shopkeeper yelled to the acolyte.

"Ahh y-yes sir umm then I'll b-buy a cheesecake." He stammered. He has a certain confidence issue and pretty much everything makes him nervous.

The shopkeeper raised and eyebrow and looked at him in a funny way. "A cheesecake? We don't sell any cheesecake here."

"Oh then what about chocolate cream pie?" He sounded hopeful as it was his favourite food and he wanted to have some right now. The thought of it made his mouth watery.

"GET OUTTA HERE! THIS IS A BOOKSHOP! WE DON'T SELL FOOD! YOU NUTJOB!" The shopkeeper yelled at him and the young acolyte ran out of the store with his hands waving around crying.

"Sniff I didn't know! I'm sorry! WaAaaaH!"

As he couldn't see where he was going with his eyes all watery and closed, he bumped into someone and fell down on his backside.

"Are you alright? I'm so sorry." A hand extended to him. He looked up and saw the mage.

"M-Mizuki!!!" He blurted out. "I-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry I bumped into you. I didn't see where I was going and uhh I was crying cos of that scary shopkeeper and I'm so stupid…"

The mage stared at him. "How did you know my name?"

He panicked, He didn't want her to think that he was a stalker or something. If she did than everything that he had worked for would be for naught. He would forever be seen in her eyes as a freak and a weirdo.

"WEIRDO!" Those words rang in his head like a loud and noisy bell that won't shut up each time striking him cold with pain. 'Nooooooooo!' His subconscious mind yelled.

He had to do something.

"Well I was in the same store as you were just now and I… heard the shopkeeper call you by that name so yeah that's the reason!" He wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Ahh I know you! You're the one that was hiding and peeking at me." Her eyes widening as the realization hit her. Then she giggled. "Why were you doing that?"

"Umm I… I…" The excuse he came up earlier was brilliant but now his mind was blank and he couldn't think of a way to escape this one. So he decided to just come up with anything he has. "Because I…. uhhh was hungry for some chocolate cookie ice cream…"

She laughed at this. "That makes no sense….. but you're funny. What's your name?"

Her question lighted his soul with a burning coal and he felt like jumping on a pole and drop and roll. She wanted to know his name! "My name is umm Aergriz"

They strolled together while chatting. She found him interesting and wanted to get to know him better. Besides, she had nothing to do in the meantime.

Then they reached the fountain in the city square. "So you're a 2nd level acolyte?" She asked him as they sat down on a bench. "N-no I'm a 3rd level acolyte." He answered nervously. Throughout the whole conversation he was stammering as he answered and didn't look at her.

She was surprised at this. "What? Really?! You're a 3rd level? But you look so young. Like a kid!"

"B-but I'm 18 years old" He told her.

"I'm 18 too." She replied. He blushed in embarrassment. She thought he looked like a kid.

That was so embarrassing! He wanted to look more manly and attractive. Ohhh! His hands instinctively went to cover his cherry-red face.

"Ahh I'm sorry I didn't mean to embarrass you." She apologized. "Tee hee you're face is as red as my hair." That made him blush even harder.

"Ahh I'm sorry…Hey I've got a question. Why do you always look so nervous? You can't answer me properly and you don't look at my face when you talk to me."

He looked away. "I'm just a shy person. I'm scared of what people think of me. I just don't have any confidence."

Then an idea suddenly popped up in her head and she smiled. "Why don't I help you! I'll help you be more confident! You can trust me. I'm a good teacher!"

"O-okay" He looked at her and smiled. "Hey good! You're improving already. It's the first time I saw you smile and look at me when you talked."

Then they stared into each other's eyes. He could see so deep into her eyes. It was like there was a galaxy in there and he could see all the planets and stars. It was beautiful.

She looked into his deep blue eyes. It was so timid but yet so calm. It made her heart feel at ease. He really reminds her of a little kid plus a puppy. Like he needs to be taken care of and spoon-fed. After a few seconds of the staring game, she burst out.

"Okay I've decided! I'm gonna be your big sister!" She jumped up and declared her decision to him. Then she did a victory pose and winked.

"B-but I'm the same age as you. You cant be my older sister"

"But you're just like a kid and you need to be taken care of so I will gladly take up the position of your bigger sister. Besides, you don't have any family right? I'm sure you yearn for the comfort and warmth of love and a great big hug." And she hugged him tightly.

"Meeeeeeep" He blushed.

And that is how Aergriz and Mizuki met. Their adventure together has just begun.
