Chapter One

Nobody's POV

Sky was lying on her bed, enjoying the silence. Her parents were out, she had finished all her She sighed, content.

homework and the baby next door has finally stopped wailing like a banshee.

Unfortunately, the peace didn't last because a blue haired boy came crashing through her window, making shards of glass go everywhere and land in a heap on the floor of her bedroom.

Sky screamed and hid behind her bed, waiting for a few minutes before peering over the edge.

Her jaw dropped. 'Blue hair in a plait? Check. Weird Arabian clothes? Check. Divine Stave? Check. No doubt about it. He's Solomon from the manga/anime "Magi"!' she thought, 'but what do I do? What do I say to him? He's a fictional character for goodness sake! It's not like I can just tell him that he shouldn't exist! And no way can I tell my parents! I can't go up to them and say "Mom, Dad, there's a boy named Solomon in my bedroom from the manga/ anime "Magi"." No way would they believe me. Heck, they'd probably call the cops and ask me if I bumped my head or something!'

She took a deep breath. 'Act normal. Strike up a conversation. Just DON'T say anything that will make him suspicious.'

"Umm... are you OK?" she asked, nervously.

The boy sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "I think so..."

"Who are you? How did you get here?" Sky asked him, before adding, "My name's Sky."

"Pleased to make your acquaintance. My name is Solomon." he said, smiling.

"Pleased to meet you." Sky replied, then laughing.

"What's so funny?"

Sky tried to supress her laughter. "Sorry, I shouldn't laugh. It's just that you speak so formally..."

"Oh. I've always spoken like this. Is it weird?"

"A bit. Not many people speak like that nowadays." she said, then asking, cautiously, "So how did you get here? Why are you out so late?"

"Er, well, I ran away from home" he said, embarrassed, "and now soldiers are looking for me and - "

He broke off as she held her hand over his mouth. Sky put her finger on her lips, motioning to him to stay silent and hide under the bed. He hid under the bed and after he had, she checked that no one would be able to see him before she opened the curtains and acted completely oblivious to the situation, which was hard because she was terrified of the two soldiers outside.

Sky's POV

"Don't be scared little girl. We're just looking for someone and wondered if you have seen him He has long blue hair and holds a long golden staff." one of the men said. The two men tried to make themselves look less intimidating because they were speaking to a seven-year-old. (A/N: was that a surprise? Did you think she was older?)

I shook my head. "No. I haven't seen a man with blue hair. Why?" I asked them, widening my eyes, innocently.

"It's nothing. Just tell us if you do." The other man replied.

"OK mister!" I said, smiling sweetly.

The two of them turned to go and I heard the first man say "Little children are so gullible."

I gritted my teeth and scowled as I shut the curtains. 'No, you're the ones that are gullible' I muttered. Then I sighed. Thank goodness they didn't notice the broken window which was on the other side of the room. I waited for a few minutes before checking that the men were gone and told Solomon that he could come out. He came out from underneath the bed and thanked me.

"No problem. I could tell that they weren't very nice." I said.

"How old are you, Sky?" he asked me.

"Seven." I replied.

"You're awfully mature for someone your age..." Solomon said.

"You can't talk! How old are you?!"

"Twelve."

'Ah, so he had just run away from home.' I thought.

Solomon stepped outside saying "I ought to go now. They might come back to see if you had seen me. Sorry you got involved."

"It's alright."

He flew away, but not before he fixed my window.

I sighed as I crashed onto my bed. What an adventure.

And it all started with a smash...
