AN

when I'm done I'm going to reformate this to look like a book because this is supposed to be (in the cannon of the story) in the form of a published physical book. Right now I'm making the main plot of the book, I'll insert more filler later.

Hi, my name is Alex; I'm just your average high school sophomore, well not really average, I'm far from it actually. But my life seemed to be just that, average, But I always wondered, always hoped, that my life would be special, something important with some sort of purpose. Like that would ever happen, that's what I thought at least until that one day; where it finally found purpose. All I had to do, was walk into my house.

Let me explain.

It was early winter and it was rather cold for that time of year. It was a Friday afternoon, just like all other Friday afternoons, I came home from school via bus, per norm, with my best friend Ruby, also per norm on Fridays, she comes over to hang out for a bit, then we head to a local Yugioh tournament. We entered the house and hear my mom talking to people whose voices we didn't recognize. I put down my bag, Ruby kept hers on and we headed up to the source of the voices: the kitchen. "I don't care about you having to find your partner or what not! I just don't want you kids out all alone in this weather!"

"Hello, mom?" I say entering the room, "who are they? and, what's going on?" I saw my mom unpacking groceries, and sitting at the table were two kids, one boy, one girl, wrapped in blankets drinking hot chocolate. Excluding the hairstyles and color of their clothing, they looked identical, the girl's hair was longer than the boy's. They both had green hair and looked to be around eight years old.

"Oh, hi Alex, hi Ruby," my mom, Raven turned to Ruby and me, "this is Azoth," she gestured to the boy, "and this is Siona," she gestured to the girl. "Today when I went to the supermarket, I found them freezing in the parking lot, trying to get people to read this book," she pointed to a large dark fuchsia hardcover book, on the top of the cover; there were unrecognizable glyphs surrounded by a border. Below that there was an interesting pattern of five circles with lines connecting them. I picked up the book and felt myself open up to a seemingly random page, that I somehow knew wasn't random. The page was full of the same weird glyphs only on the pages the glyphs were thick and blue, on this page one side was the glyphs were the same fuchsia as the outside of the book and I could read it, somehow. it said:

The first spells:

Azoth: Gireku

Siona: Faireku

Both: Gifaireku

"I can read this, somehow," I announced, "I don't know how but I just can."

Ruby looked at the book over my shoulder. "I thought that you were crazy before but now I know for sure," she laughed," it's just random symbols."

"No! I swear I can read this!" The book started to radiate fuchsia light. "It says: the first spell: Azoth: gi-"

"Don't read it now!" The twins simultaneously interjected.

We all look at the kids, confused. My mom states what was on all our minds: "why not?"

"You reading the spell," Siona started.

"That will cause us to perform it," Azoth finished stating it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. This statement only caused more confusion, prompting an explanation from the twins.

Time for a story! "As we were telling Raven," Siona began.

"We are not human, we're demons." The twins start alternating, finishing the others thoughts.

"Nor are we from this world,"

"We come from a parallel world"

"And our world is ruled by a king."

"And every thousand years, a new king is selected."

"This king is selected by having one hundred children,"

"Fight and until the only one is left"

"To eliminate other contestants,"

"You must burn their spellbook,"

"That will send them back to our homeworld."

"The last one in this world becomes the new king of our world"

"For the next thousand years." Before we could interject anything Siona continued.

"Now this fight is where the book and you," they pointed at me, "come in."

"Each demon child is given a spellbook," they pointed at the fuchsia book on the counter,

"And somewhere in this world is one person who can read this book."

They stared directly at me, "and that person is you."

"You alone can read those spells allowing us to use our power to fight other demons to become king."

I straight out told them: "I don't believe you."

As one the kids stood up, letting the blankets fall to the floor. There clothing was almost identical, the only difference was the coloration; the girl's clothing consisted of light blues and white, while her brother was clad in red, orange and yellow. "let's go outside," one of them started.

"And we'll prove it to you," the other finished.

With nothing to lose we follow them outside. They stand with their hands held out in front of them, "read the spell," they demand.

I opened the book to the random page that I always seem to be able to find, "which spell it gives me three options: Azoth, Siona, or both," I asked.

After a moment of thought the twins, in unison, said 'both.'

"Gifaireku," I say half-heartedly.

Nothing happened. "No!" the twins said, in unison, once again.

"You need to say it with lots of emotion!" Azoth explained.

I decided on playing along with this little game and decided that anger was the easiest emotion for me to summon, so I thought of some things that really piss me off. And I saw that the book began to glow, just like when I got annoyed earlier. "Gifaireku!" I repeated, and this time something happened. Two somethings happened. Ice missiles came shooting out of Azoth's hands, while a jet of fire emerged from Siona's.I dropped the book in shock and both stopped.

"Ok, I believe you now," I said after the initial shock wore off, "but before I decide whether or not I help you become king, there is one thing I need to know: what kind of monarchs do you want to be?"

"We strive to be rulers that are kind and fair to all and will always care for the less fortunate," they say in unison.

"Ok, I'll help make you king, under one condition: if you become king, you must promise me this: that you will have severe punishments for bullying, especially verbal bullying." that condition my seem obscure and odd, but it will be explained later in this book. I smiled and held out my hand, "so, do we have a deal?" The twins each put a hand on top of mine.

"We have a deal!" The twins explained.

I turn to my mom with an embarrassed grin, "so, mom, can I participate in these battles? Pleeease?"

After a moment of contemplation, she hesitantly agreed, under the conditions that I'd be careful and not let this interfere with your schoolwork... I agreed not sure if I'd be able to fulfill both of these requirements not knowing how long this would last.

"One question," asked Ruby, "you kept saying things about the battle in singular terms, but there are two of you with one spellbook."

"That is ture," one started.

"With everyone else, they are alone."

"But for some reason, we were selected together."

"We don't know why."

"There are no other pairs other than us."

Welp that made as much sense as everything else that happened that afternoon, so we all just decided to roll with it.
