Prologue: Once upon a time...
Once upon a time, there was a boy in a land far away in a small tight knitted village of hunters. The boy was quiet and calm, but was born with a power to see thing's that others could not, so he kept quiet about it, but his hair was odd so he attracted attention from the other villagers. The elder of the village, who could see the thing the boy did, told them that it was a phenomenon that occurred randomly every few generations to one child, and one child only from the whole race. Seeing as the elder was the only one old enough to know if this was true or not, the villagers accepted this and bothered with the boy no more. Only his father, mother, his younger sibling, the elder- who had been teaching the boy all about his power-, and his best friend were the only ones who knew that the power he had changed changed his appearance.
The boy always did as told and was looked up to by the children, he helped train them to get stronger at their request's for he was one of the overly stronger villagers, but the only one he had ever looked up to was his father. He was the strongest hunter of their village and wanted to be just like him, to be strong enough to protect his village and family. He strives to get his fathers approval in all he did, whether it be from fishing, to teaching, or to fighting.
One day the boy left with his father to go do some trading with the nearest settlement of other hunters. It took a week or so to get there, even with them running at full speed, another week to trade all they needed and catch up with old friends before heading back once satisfied.
Yet, this was not what they expected. As they had neared the smell of iron and burned flesh was in the air. They saw the ominous black smoke rising from the spot where they knew their village was located, so they pushed themselves to run faster until they arrived.
What they found was a gruesome sight, bodies were spread across the floor, blood splattered here and there with their home burning to the ground. Instantly the boy's father had a look of absolute anger, both had dropped what they had been carrying and spread out to search for anyone still alive. The boy had found the body of the village elder on the floor, along with the parent's of his friend, but said friend wasn't anywhere he searched. He ran towards his home, hopeful that his mother and sibling were alright, But no one was left, 'they had all been taken by slavers.' the father replied with no hidden anger towards the slavers. The boy's father wasted no time and told his son that they were going after them, to get back their loved ones and save their people.
Using their naturally incredible speed they were able to catch up to the slavers in half an hour, both did a war cry that shook the earth itself , startling the slavers, then started to slaughter the invaders before they had a chance to bring out their weapons. They were winning until the boy was distracted by the sound of his younger sibling crying out his name.
He looked over and saw that the woman and children were being separated, being put into different carts with his mother- along with all the other females- trying to keep their children with them. Rage built up when he saw one of the slavers ram the end of his weapon into his siblings head, he snarled and ran after them with the intent of smashing the mans skull in, this was all it took as one man shot their lightning tool at the boy, striking him in the middle of his face and chest, while another used a compressed air tool to slice through his left shoulder and left side just above his hip. The boy didn't let this stop him, he kept charging in and attacking the men, he felt power pumping through his blood before a crackling sensation went through him and out his arms, lightning shot out of his hands and a few slavers were hit. That was all he was able to do when he let out a blood curdling scream as he fell to his knees then forward to the ground when another man was able to get behind him and shove a flaming sword through his back. Then everything went slowly for the him as he could hear his father's roar in anger as he yelled out his name, the sound of both his mother and sibling crying out in anguish for him, and lastly the sound of best friend yelling out to him before he passed out.
When next he awoke, the slavers and the villagers were gone, he looked around and all that was left was his fathers and mothers dead body laying a few feet away from him in the middle of a mass of slaver body's. He crawled over towards them, crying out for them to not be dead and leaving him, but when he arrived he saw the gaping hole in the middle of his fathers chest, along with a missing arm and leg. His body was riddled with gashes and bruise's, he had obviously fought tooth and nail until his last dying breath to save everyone, but it wasn't enough. The only thing left untouched by the gore was the earring and leather collar around his neck that's been passed down from father to son for generation's. His mother was no better, it seems that she was able to break free from her restraints, but a large chunk of her side was missing along with an ear and eye, her beautiful red hair had been darkened by dried blood, only her bangles on her ankles and wrists were left untouched. He could have guessed what happened, his mother must have went ballistic along with his father, and also fought tooth and nail to get her children back. After a few moments the boy had taken and put on the accessory's of both his mothers and father in remembrance, the only thing he felt after his grief was hatred. Absolute hatred towards the ones- the humans- who took everything away from him. Who took his father from him, his village, his mother and sibling, the elder, and his only friend. He saw red as he let out a vicious roar, causing the earth to shake and the wind to pick up into a small storm, the things he saw floating around him turn black and started to shake in anger as well. Pushing himself up he was determined to hunt down the humans and slaughter them all, he didn't care for the blood lost from the wounds, or that his body was in immense pain as he struggled to walk.
Day's later he found a strange building sitting harmlessly in the middle of an open field. He was curious as to what this was doing here, because it was not there before when he and his family came here for a family training session, he wanted to go up and inspect it, but he got an intense feeling of danger from it. Yet he was being pulled towards it despite his instinct screaming at him to turn away, when he arrived he saw that the entrance was glowing. Enchanted by it he reached out his hand then was suddenly sucked in.
Four years passed before the building collapsed...
Red eyes groggily opened up to a dark place with the faintest hint of torch light. They blinked a few times slowly, trying to get rid of the blurriness, before looking around. Confusion was the first thing to cross them, nothing was recognizable to the person as they laid on the cold stone floor. Then the eyes landed on a young boy who only seemed to be about the age of four, with big blue eyes starring down at them with curiosity. Nothing happened as the two pairs of eyes stared at one another, both because they did not know the other.
"...Who are you?" the child asked with a tilts of his head. He had long blue hair braided at the back, bangs in his face, a blue vest with wrapping around his chest and white fluffy pant's. The other didn't answer, thinking on what to say, instead they tried to get up but stopped with a grunt when pain shot from the chest area. Confused, the stranger looked down to see, that one, he was naked...and two that he had massive wounds on his body that were bleeding."Hm?" the boy hummed while leaning closer towards the other, reaching out his hand and touching the center of the others face, bringing back his hand and looking at it with wonder. "Neh, Neh, mister?" he asked, the now identified male, while bringing his hand up for the other to see. "What's this red stuff? Why is it the same color as you hair?"
"...Is...it...?" he mumbled while looking around, the place seemed to be a big palace if the pillars and shiny objects were anything to go by, there were book's all over the floor, some in stacks and some opened, article of cloths and other objects were in piles along the floor with some bigger then others. A hand mirror was on the floor next to him- and the pool of blood- and he was curious as to what he looked like. He slowly reached over-noting the golden bangles on his wrists that were also on his ankles- and carefully picked it up before turning it to face himself.
Blood red hair that seemed black at the roots turned lighter until it became white at the tips greeted him, his eyes were also red with a tint of gold in them, lightly tanned skin was covered by the giant wound in the center of his face, his eyes were sharp and half lidded making him seem bored, a ball piercing was under his bottom lip. His hair was layered and wild, seeming like feathers, with a clump of bangs in the middle slightly covering the wound, he had a long bunch on his right side with a light blue bead lined with yellow in it, three braids started at the base of his head that reached to just under his shoulders, again fading out towards white as it got to the tip. If he had to guess, then he would say he was about fourteen to sixteen years old. He saw something peeking from under his bang's, so he held it back and saw a black tattoo of sort's, it was a circle with the center of it empty and four points. He thought it kinda looked like an eye. A leather choker was around his neck, a small round metal circle with the symbol of the sun was on it, he also had three earrings on his left ear, one golden cuff and two earring's connected with a small silver chain with the excess amount of it hanging carrying what seemed life a feather at the end. He examined his bracelets/bangles on him, and saw a weird star shaped symbol inside of a circle. Three small chain's went until it connected to golden claw's on his thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Curious he looked at his other hand and saw the same thing, he tilted his head before putting down the mirror when something big walked up to him. Looking up he saw an enormous blue giant with an eye on their forehead. The giant smiled down at him softly before kneeling down and opened one of his hands, revealing some salve and bandages.
"Ah! Ugo!" the bluenette said happily as he looked up at the giant. "Ugo! Ugo! What's this?" he questioned while holding up his hand again.
"It's blood." Ugo answered calmly before turning to the other boy, "I have waited a very long time for you my friend, and I am sorry for not being able to find you sooner then now. It seems that the spell worked, but not how we thought it would have. When you did not appear here where you were suppose to, I started to search right away thinking that you may have ended up within another temple, yet I couldn't find you. So I guess you ended up somewhere else instead, although I am curious as to why you are younger then before." he said while cleaning up the wound on the boy's chest. "and what in the world happened to you?" he muttered out with furrowed brows as he looked form one injury to another worriedly. In response the boy only tilted his head to the side in question, his thin brows furrowed in confusion to the blue giant. The latter of them looked up and noticed the confused expression on his face, and raised a brow. "Hm? What is it?"
"...Who...are you?" he asked curiously as he closed one eye when his head was being wrapped. Then the arms stopped in their movement's, the boy looked up at the bigger being and saw the absolutely shocked expression he had.
"...W-Who am-...you don't know who I am?" he questioned. The by only shook his head, the giant chewed on his bottom lip for a moment, "...You don't...Remember...?"
"...remember?" he asked and received a nod, he took hummed as he tried to see of this giant was familiar or not. But his mind was blank, so he furrowed his brows. The giant seemed honestly sad that he was not remembered even though the boy didn't have any memory of meeting him at all. Then again he didn't remember anything at all. Did this man (?) know him? "...No..." he answered after a bit. "Should I?"
"...no, never mind..." he answered with a sad smile before continuing in bandaging the boy up. "It's probably best that you don't remember anything..." then it became silent afterward, with the boy's eyes seeming to be following something.
"What are those?" he asked while pointing at a group of bird like things flying around, the young child- who had left durring his talk with the giant- came back with a bundle of clothing in his hands and dropped them at his feet before followed the olders line of sight and giggled.
"I don't really know, but their really pretty, right?" he answered cheerfully as he held out his hand for one to land on it. He giggled again when it seemed to be talking to him and did a little dance. Then he seemed to remember something, "Oh! My names Aladdin!" he introduced himself, "And this is Ugo!" he said pointing to said giant. "whats your name?" he asked while the other was tying up a black sash with red designed along the edge, it went down to just above his knees, making him pause and look at the child.
"...My name?" he questioned to which Aladdin nodded at. He hummed while searching inside of his head to see if he could find it, then slowly his mouth started to move and what came out was, "...Ma...gus...?" he mumbled slightly, testing it out as the name seem to ring a bell in his mind. Was this his name? It must be because it felt right to put it to himself, so with a barely noticeable nod he looked at the two in front of him. "My names is...Magus."
"'Magus'?" Aladdin questioned with a small tilt of his head. Magus nodded with a small hum as he went back and searched the pile of clothing, finding a red shawl and putting it on. The bandages underneath seemed to be enough for him as a second layer. "Magus..." Aladdin said again and nodded his head with a smile, "It's pretty."
"...'Pretty'?" Magus questioned as Aladdin nodded his head happily. Magus' expression softened into a small warm smile. With that Aladdin proceeded to start a conversation, as much as a four year old could, with Magus. He asked all sort's of questions about him, but Magus could not answer. Later it was Ugo who told Aladdin that Magus couldn't answer his question's because Magus could not remember anything. Aladdin had quickly latched onto Magus, he told him how it was just him and Ugo for a very long time and that he was happy that someone else was there with them.
~Time skip~
"Magus-nii!" Aladdin laughed out as he jumped and landed on Magus' stomach, making the fourteen year old slowly wake up from his sleep to look at the small child. Aladdin was giggling as he poked at Magus' bandages that covered the majority of his face. He squeaked when Magus sat up right, causing Aladdin to end up in his lap, as the older of the two took a moment for his sleepiness to go away. A red eye peeked through the bandage before slowly looked down at the pair of wide blue ones, Magus tilted his head to the side in question.
"Aladdin..." he spoke softly while petting his head, making Aladdin smile up at him. "...What is it?"
"I found a book!" he exclaimed happily. Magus didn't know why he seemed so happy about finding a book In this place, there were books littered everywhere in this around here so Magus didn't see what was so special. Aladdin, seeing the blank look sent his way about his news, pouted slightly. "Magus-nii~! Can you read it to me?" Aladdin begged with big puppy eye's. It had been a month since Magus had awoken in this place with no memory of who he was, he once had a flash of memory about a boy who looked similar to him. He had red hair and eyes, the same as him, but his was just plain red with no other colors in his hair, it was also cut short and spiked with only an inch of hair for bangs, he wore a stoic expression as he carried his sword with him. He would hear himself call out to the boy and challenge him to a sparring match. And every time he was about to say his name, he would always wake up.
"Alright. Here?" Magus questioned, Aladdin immediately got up and ran out of the room quickly. Magus hummed and waited for the little chibi to come back with the book, as he did he followed the white birds- that Ugo later told him was called Ruhk- lazily with the very rare black ruhk fluttering by. He smiled when he saw it and held out his hand for it, when it landed on his finger Magus petted it with one finger.
Ugo had looked worried when he once saw Magus holding his hand out to the black ruhk instead of the white ones, and Magus was confused when Aladdin seemed scared of them. He had told Magus that the black ruhk felt wrong, making said person tilt his head in question as to why Aladdin didn't like the black ones when their basically the same as the white ones. Magus was even mores confused when Ugo told him to never seek out the black ruhk and to stay away from them, but Magus didn't see any problem with being around them. In fact he felt very comfortable in the dark which is why he didn't see anything wrong with the black ruhk, occasionally he would see the two different ruhk's fighting each other causing Magus to have to calm both of them down. He liked both of them, but they always seemed to be fighting for his attention when he was with one of them. He showed Aladdin the black ruhk and asked to give them a chance, he told him on how he seemed to be hurting the ruhk's feelings whenever Aladdin would flinch away from them, making the child feel bad and apologize to them and at least pet it once or twice. He had gotten more use to them now- so long as it wasn't a big cluster of them together- and actually started to play with the black ruhk from time to time.
"where are the others?" Magus questioned the black bird, in response it fluttered and did a few swirls. "...I see...hn?" he hummed while spotting a few white ruhk's flutter over to him, they seem to be agitated that he was paying attention to the other, "No fighting." he mumbled when he saw how they were ready to start something, they calmed down after that and instead went to lay on the bandages over where his wound was. Magus sighed as he felt the warming presence of the white birds healing his wound, "...Thank you." he said before bringing up the black ruhk up to his face, "Go to Aladdin." he said and received a small nod from it before it flew away with it's duty.
A few moments later and the black ruhk came back, telling Magus that Aladdin was having trouble carrying the large book over towards his room. Magus thanked both of the ruhk's and dismissed them as he stood up from his makeshift bed of pillows and blankets to go help Aladdin out. As he walked he saw the bead in his hair swinging back and forth, he watched it for a moment, trying to figure out where he could have gotten it from. But then his mind wandered to the strange symbol that looked like an eye on his forehead, he had asked Ugo what it was once, but it was dismissed by the blue giant. Once he turned a corner he saw Aladdin trying to drag the book with him, it was easily twice his size and seem to be more then 15 pounds. No wonder he's having trouble. Magus thought with a small sigh, then walked over and picked up the book from a surprised four year old.
"Nii-chan!" Aladdin said in surprise. Magus didn't know why Aladdin had suddenly started to call him big brother, but he felt comfortable with it, like he's been called that before. he tried to remember where on earth he could have heard it, but decided to drop it when all he got for his efforts was a headache.
"...let's go." he said while bending over and picking Aladdin up and setting on him on his right shoulder before heading towards the room. While they walked back, Magus felt Aladdin running his hands through his hair with a small laugh. Aladdin seemed fascinated by his hair for some odd reason, maybe it was because his hair was different from his, or because it was soft to the touch despite Magus not taking care of it. Aladdin started to hum a little tune as he started to braid parts of Magus' hair, the feeling of his little figures weaving through his hair was relaxing and soothing.
"...Nii-chan?" Aladdin questioned making Magus tilt his head towards him, silently telling him to continue, "why doesn't Ugo answer me when I ask what I am?" Magus stared at him for a long moment, not needing to see where he was going since he's walked these halls many times, and pondered on what he could say to the boy. Magus himself had asked Ugo what he was, but he actually got an answer, he was told he was something called a 'Fanalis' from a place called the Dark continent, Magus asked if his kin had the same strange hair he had, along with the marking on his head. Ugo had said yes, that they all had red hair but that Magus' hair was unique because of the unusually high level of maogi- whatever that was- running through his veins, yet when Magus asked about the mark again Ugo completely ignored it or changed the subject. This didn't really satisfy the teen, but he at least knew what he was, unlike Aladdin who asked constantly only for Ugo to clamp shut.
"...I do not know." he answered with a small sigh as they reached the room, he quickly strode towards the makeshift bed of pillows and blankets before setting Aladdin down on a particularly fluffy pillow, then he sat down himself and opened the book. He raised a brow when he saw it had various pictures of women in different clothing, Magus glanced at Aladdin, silently asking if he really wanted Magus to read this to him. Aladdin responded by crawling over and sitting in between his legs and stared expectantly at him. So with a raised brow, Magus started to read to Aladdin and was more then slightly disturbed about what females were, how they worked, what they were for and what they did.
He stopped reading it when it had gone to the part about a woman's breast and what came out of it, and in result to hearing about that Aladdin had tried to see if Magus could do the same since he had nipple's like the picture. Needless to say Magus chucked that book far, FAR, away from Aladdin's reach vowing to never let him see anything like that again when the child went to sleep.
"Awwwww~! Where did the book go?" Aladdin whined as he searched each and every stack of books in the room the next day, "I know I put it somewhere in here!" he thought out loud, never noticing the how proud Magus looked at his decision in chucking the book away. "hmp. I wanted to show Ugo the pretty lady's~!" Aladdin sighed out with a pout as he stared hard at a stack of books, willing the book to magically appear.
Magus shook his head as he got up and went over towards Aladdin, he picked him up and rested him on one of his hip's, then went out of the room. "Aladdin." Magus said in a warning tone. Because Magus knew how Ugo got whenever he saw a picture of a woman, he would get shy and turn redder then some of the carpets around the palace. He fainted if he touched it. So Magus, even if he did find it funny, thought it wasn't good manners for the little chibi to tease the blue giant so often with pictures of almost naked ladies.
Aladdin giggled innocently before his stomach growled. He looked down at it and pouted, "Magus-nii~, I'm hungry~~!"
"Hm, it would seem so." he answered back, he looked around and spotted a bowl of fruit on a pile of rugs. He went over and grabbed the bowl and held it out to Aladdin, who gladly took some and started to eat. Magus noticed a few thing about this palace they were in, for one he noticed the lack of windows even tho this is suppose to be a palace like in the books Aladdin had shown him. Also, how it seemed that the fruit and meat around here never seem to age or rot, how the only exit seemed to be the door that Ugo would stand in front of every day and wouldn't let either of the two go near. In fact Ugo had told Magus that neither he nor Aladdin were allowed outside, and when Magus asked why Ugo said that it wasn't time yet.
"Nii-chan? Are we ever going to go outside and see places like the big puddle?" Aladdin asked as he reached for another fruit.
"hm." Magus answered with a smile and a nod of his head, "Someday...I promise." he whispered. Aladdin smiled and nodded, satisfied by the promise to seeing the outside world.
Magus just hoped he could keep it.
not a very good chapter, but HEY it's a prologue...It's allowed to suck.
