Chapter 1 – How it started

It all started 10 years ago...

"Loke! Loke! Look what I found!" I called out to him, the closest friend I have ever had. His parents are celestial spirits and so is he. My mother is a celestial mage of Blue Pegasus and is the owner of the keys of Loke's parents. My mother treats her celestial spirits as if they were her friends and I admired her for that, that's why I want to become a celestial mage myself, and to be the owner of Loke's key who is soon going to replace his father when he turns 10, so that's a year from now. I want to be with him all the time so i'm gonna do my best to be a celestial mage and be by his side. Although I am still in my 9th year here on earth, I already learned what love was, being by my mother and sister's side and most of all, seeing Loke smile. Loke was the one who made me smile when my day goes wrong, he was always there to protect me, I tell him all my problems and worries. He makes me laugh, he makes me smile. He was always there for me and I will be there for him, even if it means finding someone he loves in the future and do the things we have done, it does not matter, as long as his happy.

"What is it Kaia?" He replied running towards me. Yes, my name is Kaia Lilica. My mom's Tania Lilica and my dad... I have never seen him. I also have a sister, her name is Karen and she's 2 years older than me. She's a model and a celestial mage at Blue Pegasus, she is pretty popular and I'm just her shadow.

"Look!" I pointed at the beautiful area covered with beautiful flowers and butterflies flying around them. "Isn't it beautiful?" I asked turning around to look at him, eyes locked at his beautiful emerald eyes. "Yes, it is." He said looking at the beautiful flowers, he went towards it and picked a beautiful looking daisy.

He came back to my place and gave the flower to me. "This... i-i-is yours, I... I thought it would look beautiful on you." He stuttered looking flushed. "Th-thank you." I said taking the flower and turned back to make sure he won't know that I'm blushing.

"Kaia!" A familiar voice called over to me. "Karen!" I replied. "Mom is looking for you. We're going to have dinner."

"Coming!" I said. "Come on Loke, let's go home." I took his hand and ran towards Karen. "Karen, what did mom prepare?" I asked her. "I don't know." "Karen?" "I said I don't know." "Karen? Can't you hear me?" "I SAID I DON'T KNOW! Can you please stop annoying me?" Karen answered angrily. Karen might have a temper but she's still my precious sister and anyways annoying her is actually fun.

Then I heard footsteps behind me and took me away from Karen and Loke's sight. "KAREN! LOKE!" I shouted and they look at me with surprise. The man started running away and Loke started running after me. Karen stayed behind crying. I don't want to see Loke worried and Karen crying. So I started fighting back, do what I can to save myself and to not make them worried anymore.

I struggled, did what I can, I punched him, kick him off but then it just won't do. I studied my surroundings and notice we were in the forbidden forest of Magnolia where danger can come anytime. I looked behind and saw Loke running towards us, tears streaming down his face, calling out my name. I was so angry at this man for kidnapping me, and most of all, I'm angry at myself for making Loke cry. I screamed full of anger and I did not recognize my voice anymore, it seems as if it belongs to somebody else.

Suddenly, the man dropped me down as he is brought down and killed by a sudden light that pierced through his chest leaving him still on the ground. Then I noticed, it was my magic that attacked the man. I was taken aback by this situation, this was the first time I have ever killed... I was traumatized. I was so ashamed of myself. So I ran away, away from my mom, my sister and most of all... Loke.
