There was once a kingdom of magic. The Princess of the Fire kingdom married The First Prince of the Kingdom of Ice and soon they had twins. They named the girl 'Rin'

and the boy 'Len'. Rin is the Older twin. Her charm even in such a young age made all the people swarm over her. In the age of seven, Len became the very first of the

Kingdom to create a barrier enough to eat up a whole city. Of course, each of the twins specialize their own field. For instance, Len is excellent when it comes to

swordsmanship and magic barriers while Rin has the most outstanding mark on all of her classes, even excelling on creating her own magic spells using her raw talent

and power.

"Len! Look, I made a sculpture from water and used my magic to solidify it!" Rin proudly showed her art to his younger twin, smirking to herself. The other twin laughed

in delight and pulled out his sword. "Great! Now I can use that to test out my new sword!" Rin scowled and with a swing of her finger, the sculpture turned into droplets

of water then evaporating into thin air before it even hit the ground.

"Argh! Rin-what are you-!"

"Ha ha ha!"

The two chased each other until the end of the hallway of their castle. The twins' attention were caught when they saw a breathtaking garden. It was full of different

flowers that are vibrant in color. They rested on the grass, talking about their futures.

"Hey, Rin." Len called out his twin but his eyes were facing the heavens.

"Hmm?"

"What do you want to do in the future?"

Rin was caught off guard by his question but managed to smile. "I dont know. Whatever you want to be, I'll follow." Rin answered truthfully, holding her chest.

Len faced her suddenly, intruged by her answer. "Why?"

"Because were twins!" She chirped happily and grinned at his flushed face. Len pretended to be irritated by her childishness but inside, he was happy by her reason. At

least, he said to himself, there was someone willing to be by his side forever.

The two were so inseperable that even a day will be too unbearable for them without each other's side. But fate had its own plan. Because of the war, The King and

Queen died protecting the Kingdom, leaving the twins to take care of themselves. There was chaos everywhere. Citizens of the kingdom started killing each other,

chanting curses for the the future King and Queen.

"Len, what shall we do now?" Rin asked her twin quietly. Len didn't answer. His back was facing her so she cant see his face. Len thought of escaping his destiny. His

selfishness was driving him into wanting to leave the country and forgetting about the big responsibility waiting ahead of them. I did not want to rule this world. He

thought to himself. He wanted to be a knight. Strong enough to protect his sister from anything. But that part was forgotten because of his selfish plan.

"Rin, I'm sorry." Len whispered to his twin. Without looking back, he ran. He ran and ran and ran and ran even if his beloved sister called out to him so many times. Her

cries...will forever be burnt to his memory.

Rin managed to take care of herself. She, too, abandones her Father's Kingdom. But unlike my brother, I abandoned it with guilt, not in selfishness. She thought to

herself in distaste.

Rin was taken in an orphanage. All the kids were too kind for her. They treated them well and in payment, she treated them as equal as her true family. But whenever

Len's face appeared in her mind, she bites her tongue to keep herself from seeing her memories with him. Happy or not, she wants to burn those memories forever with

his existence.

Every night, the face of Rin weeping not because of their parent's death but because of his betrayal had always been hunting him ever since he abandoned his own

sister. Len would always wake up with sweat all over his body, gasping for air as if someone had been strangling his neck all night.

Every night, Rin had always dreamt of her younger twin's cold body on her lap. She wasn't crying, instead, she was smiling down at his corpse. His lifeless eyes similar

to her dark orbs, Lifeless but alive and his was nothing but dead.

Rin would wake up and do her fair share of chores. She would sometimes help wash the dishes or deliver boxes of fruits and vegetables to the market. Becaude of the

heavy work, she built up a limitless stamina but her figure was still petite and slender. Her intelligence about magic was still in her but she didn't have any private time

to cast a single spell for practice. All she can do is show simple magic tricks that are used for entertainment such as playing with the flames and using the smoke to

create a figure. She haven't used her ability to fully control elements for a real battle. She wanted to fight agaisnt her own brother using all her strength and ability but

surely she would be put to shame if she lost.

"I want to be stronger. I need more power." Rin chants as she balls her fists and focuses on her inner soul. She has to control it. Her soul...If she can, then she'll b able

to win against anyone.

This day was unusually peaceful. all the kids were all gone for the summer festival. The girls were wearing Yukatas. She mangaed to insist them tha she just wanted to

sleep for the rest of the night but the truth was she's going to practice her spells.

Sun colored light appeared from her hands and the more she uses her strength, the powerful it becomes. She pointed her palm at the sky and it produced waves of

glittering light that swarmed over the clouds abover her head. She was in awe by its beauty. She inhaled a deep breath and with force she made all the light disappear in

a raise of her arms.

"Riiiiiiiin! Where are you~!" She heard one of the girls call out for her and she immediately ran in her direction. "I-I'm sorry, I was busy watching the stars." She

excused herself and the girl smiled. "Oh yeah, people said they saw something lighting up the sky. I think it was a firework. A very rare one. We havent seen that kind."

"O-oh?" Rin stammered.

"Yeah! But aren't you going with us? Youre Yukata's so cute! It would be a waste tpo just hang it inside your closet!" The girl squealed childishly and Rin chuckled and

nodded at her.

"You're going? Yaaah!"

"Hey, do I look weird in this outfit?" Rin quietly whipered to her friend while walking alongside her. People, even children, were practically staring at her. It was very very

awkward for her to stare back so she had no choice but to ignore them. "Nah, youre just very gorgeous in that Yukata! And wow, you didn't even put make up or had

your hair fixed!" The girl chirped in awe and all Rin could say was thanks.

They were walking for about an hour now and the girl kept on asking for Rin to rest for a bit.

"I'll leave you in a food stall for a moment, I'll be back before you know it." Rin told her and the fourteen year old girl nodded eagerly and went to the nearest food stall.

Rin continued walking, heading to the forest. Step by step, the people was getting fewer and fewer until no one's in the path she's heading to.
