Chapter 1: Flashback

"My brother...Where could he be?" The young girl who sat under the sakura tree began to wonder. She had long white hair that elegantly swayed and she had firey red eyes. Not common among those who live in Rune-Midgard. Her eyes blankly stared into space, thinking about what her parents..erm..foster parents told her yesterday.

"Umm...Arcane, dear...Can we talk to you for a while? It's really important." Her mom worriedly said who sat next to her dad. She had sad eyes as she stared the 15 year old girl approaching them happily. An innocent smile.

"What's up?" the white-haired girl asked with a smile as her red eyes stared at her parents. Both the adults looked at each other for a second and sighed.

"We have to tell her..."

"Tell me what?" Arcane asked worriedly and sensed the heavy aura that filled the room. She finally knew that something was wrong. Her smile turned into a frown.

"..."

Arcane's father took a deep breath and finally said "Arcane..We aren't your real parents. You're adopted. But that doesn't change the fact that we still are your parents. So---"

"I knew it..." Arcane blurted out as tears started fall down from her face. Her hands clenched and her hands facing down the floor. She could see her tears darkening the wooden floor as it drops.Even though she was loved by her foster parents, she's still hurt by the fact that she was left by her real parents. Her real parents entrusted thier child with a bunch of strangers. "I knew it...No wonder my eye and hair color doesn't match the both of you...no wonder.." Arcane stood silent, still crying. Her bangs covered her eyes. Her foster parents were saddened by this event but they had no choice. They had to tell her somehow or else Arcane would've discovered it herself which is more painful.

"Where..Where are my real parents then?" Arcane sadly asked. Her crying stopped and lifted her head up, facing her mom and dad.

"..."

Silence.

"WELL?!" Arcane's voiced raised a bit. A slight tone of anger can be distinguished.

"I'm sorry but--"

"They're dead..."

"..."

"Just look at her, dude!"

"Wa--?" Arcane's flashback about what happened yesterday was snapped out upon hearing a loud voice.. She realized that she almost fell asleep, slouching against the tree. The wind blew her skirt up 3 minutes ago while she was daydreaming and she hardly even notices it. A group of guys were there, staring at her black panties. It had cute laces on top and a white ribbon on the side. The other guy gleamed at Arcane with a sinister look while his buddies laughed at how embarrasing this is if the girl knew she was on "Exhibit". The other people stopped by to see but continued on with their own bussiness while the others...they had a little fun looking at the sleeping girl with her panties showing. Arcane blushed as red as a tomato and hurriedly fixed her skirt and hid behind the tree. It's not always good to wear a Priestess uniform, she thought. The guys that enjoyed her public display giggled and laughed as they looked at Arcane, who is by the way, feeling smaller by the second.

"Stupid, stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid!" Arcane chanted to herself, still blushing. She was a little angry at herself, slapping herself in the cheeks as she repeatedly said "stupid" That mistake won't EVER happen again, she thought. She slapped herself once more and tried to forget that it ever happened.
