This is Fai telling the others about his past in the form of a story.
"Let me tell you a story." Fai said and the kids nodded.
Once upon a time there was a young prince who lived happily with his parents, the king and queen.
He loved them very much and enjoyed life as much as he could. One time his father went to the forest to hunt down a monster that terrorized a village close to the palace,
so the prince and his mother went to the royal garden. The young prince played with his toys while his mother watched him smiling, when suddenly out of nowhere a sword stabbed his mother. The prince jumped to his mother's side and cried. His mother told him not to cry and that it was going to be alright.
Suddenly the monster appeared in the garden; between its teeth was his father's magic staff. The prince killed the monster and found his fathers body in the forest, so he dragged it to his mother's body. He screamed for help and a few villagers came, but they blamed him for killing them.
The prince protested but they wouldn't listen and nominated his fathers brother as the new king.
His uncle did not want anything to do with the prince so he left him on the street to die, since no one wanted to take care of him. One day an older boy came to the prince and offered him a place to stay. The prince was so weak that the older boy had to carry him to that place, which was an orphanage.
The older boy introduced himself as "Ashura" and asked for the prince's name. They soon became good friends until they grew up. Ashura was nominated as the new king and the prince was very happy for him, he started to study his magic in a young age so he had become a powerful wizard.
Ashura offered him a job as the high mage and he accepted it with great honor even though the villagers where against it. One day Ashura walked around in the forest and found a feather, which emitted a lot of powerful magic so he took it and showed it to the prince.
The prince examined for a long time and came to the conclusion that it was safe so Ashura created an amulet with it and wore it every time and everywhere. Soon Ashura changed and became cold and distant; he didn't trust anyone anymore but the prince and started to destroy every village.
One night the prince tried to take the amulet from Ashura and he woke up and started to yell at him that he couldn't even trust his best friend anymore. He attacked the prince so the prince used a powerful sealing spell to seal him until he could figure out what to do, if he tried to take the amulet the seal would break and Ashura would wake up so he decided to look for the royal book of magic. He read it but didn't find a spell strong enough, he then felt the seal weakening and decided to run away before Ashura would wake up. And so he did.
"And?" Mokona asked.
"There is no ending to this story, at least not yet." Fai explained.
And that's that.
This story had been stuck in my head for quite awhile so i had to
write it. This is just one of many ideas i have had on Fai´s past so there will be more.
