Chrono Eclipse: What happens when even time is set in the shadows...?
"Majesty, no, you have to concentrate. Focus your power."
"I am focusing my power, old one," growled the young prince. Frustration painted on his face, he concentrates once again, trying to bring his mystical powers to bear. "EMBRE!" As the boy shouts, he closes his eyes, expecting the bright light of a low level Fire spell. When he opens his eyes, he sees...nothing.
"That is enough for today, Master Janus. There is no point in getting frustrated to the point where you begin to hurt yourself. You are dismissed from class. And make sure you take that fur-ball cat with you. Oh, by the way, her majesty, the Queen, has decided that you are to dine with her tonight. So make sure that you are at the main hall of the palace by 26 cycles."
"Thank you sir." With a bow, the boy walks out of the training facility, and finds his cat. "Come along, Alfador, practice is over." A purple kitten fades into existence underneath the building, and follows Janus along the main road. "What I don't get is, why is it that everyone tells me I have all this power, but I can't even muster the mana to cast Ember, the lowest level of fire spell, the easiest of all magic to use!"
Alfador merely miaows, giving the very feline impression that he is paying attention, but doesn't really care. Janus picks up his cat, and scratches him behind his left ear, careful not to touch the right ear. "I made that mistake once, never again."
When Janus was first born, he was given Alfador, to be his familiar; a friend, a protector, and a confidante. On his first birthday, he was playing with Alfador, and pet him behind his right ear. Alfador, even though still very much a kitten, went berserk, and almost killed him, especially from one brutal slash from breast to pelvis. To this day, he still has that scar. Absent-mindedly, he scratches at it. "It's kind of funny though, isn't it, that I don't remember any of that. I don't even remember having you before then, but mother and Schala always tell me that we were never apart."
Schala was Janus' big sister, and his only sibling. Since Ellana Zeal, his mother, the queen, was always so busy, Schala had basically raised Janus. Schala had this talisman, a necklace, that made her magic powers super strong. She was the second-most powerful person in the entire Zeal Kingdom.
