Chapter One

Arme watched across the hall from her room. All she could see was blood dripping everywhere. She was holding her little sister tightly. Her big, violet eyes were soaked with tears, travelling down her rosy cheeks, and dripping onto her sisters hand. Her little sister jumped every time a tear hit her hand, because they were cold. Arme's heart filled with a cold ache as she saw the blood drip faster and faster. The brave mage hugged her sister, rose from the bed they were sitting on, and slowly walked across the hall. She peeked into the door frame of her mother's bedroom, and, at the scene, her eyes grew bigger and wider then they had ever been in her entire life. She stood in the door way, motionless. Her younger sister became curious of what her bigger sister was seeing, and slowly followed her sister, and gripped her leg.

"...No..." Arme cried, faintly."NO!" She ran over to her mother's bed and knelt down. Her sister followed and sat beside her sister.

"...Mommy..." Arme's little sister, Yuri, began to cry silently. Her eyes grew big and wide as well. Arme hugged her sister gently, and Yuri stood up and hugged her mother as tightly as she possibly could. Arme put a warm hand on her mother's beautiful face, and brushed it across. Yuri ran her finger's through her light purple hair. Then, Yuri screamed. She screamed so loud and high, Arme thought all of Serdin could hear. A dark figure outside, turned and saw the two young girls, standing over their mother's bed, crying. The figure had bright white eyes, and with that, began slowly walking towards their house. This caught Arme's eye, and she reacted quickly

"Yuri! Shh! Be quiet!" She demanded. She waited, and as she heard the front door creak open slowly, she continued."Head to my bedroom. Don't make any noise, or we're in trouble. I'll be there in a second. Got it?" She whispered. Yuri did as her big sister said, she was too scared to see what would happen if she didn't. Arme returned to her bedroom and her sister, curled up into a small ball on her bed. She held her staff in one hand, and a spell book in another. She hadn't learnt them all, yet. She quickly closed her bedroom door, and soon thereafter, she heard footsteps creak past her bedroom and into her mother's room.

"Stay here." Arme demanded. The look in her eyes meant that she wasn't joking around. Seriously. Arme slowly walked out into the hallway and pointed the staff at the figure. He held a bloodied knife, and as he turned to see they young mage, he smirked slightly.

"You...You...YOU KILLED MY MOTHER?" Armed screamed. Her sister looked up at her sister.

"REVERSE GRAVITY!" She called. A green energy blasted the dark figure with bright white eyes, as he jumped and dodged it quickly. As Arme and this mysterious person battled in the hallway, Yuri ran out to the end of the hallway.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!" Arme screamed loudly."HOLY STRIKE!" She sent the blue energy beam racing through the hallway.

"Arme!" A tiny, frail voice called, just before an explosion was set off at the end of the hallway. As the smoke cleared, she saw her tiny sister at the end of the hallway, lying on the ground.

"YURI!" Arme called. No answer. She ran to her sister's aid, held her head on her lap.

"Hi, Arme," Yuri began.

"Yuri..." Arme choked."This wasn't supposed to happen..."

"..." Yuri was speechless.

"I'll say hi to mom for you." And with that, the light left Yuri's eyes as she passed. Arme cried, as the figure stood and watched. Arme stood back up, tears in her eyes and pointed her staff back at the figure, slowly. Tears filled her eyes even more, and even with all her strength, Arme couldn't bring herself to use any more attacks. She dropped her staff, and ran out of the house, into the markets of Serdin, and called for help. Even after all the guards arrived at the scene, she said that the murderer was a black figure with white eyes, no one believed her. And since she was considered the killer of her own younger sister, she had been took in for questions by the Queen. The Queen of Serdin was certain it was the work of Kaze'aze. But they all knew Kaze'aze, and that wasn't it. Arme couldn't live with herself. She had been considered the killer or her own sister, whom she promised she would talk care of, no matter what. Arme stood silently at the funeral, until they were about to bury her, she spoke up.

"YURI! I PROMISED I'D TAKE CARE OF YOU! DON'T MAKE ME A LIAR! YURI! YURI!" Arme cried. But no answer. She was taken away. At her own sister's funeral. Her mother was a wonderful mother, but her life had been taken by a mysterious figure. She should have cherished every word, every moment with her ike it was her last. but she didn't. And look where they were now. Arme vowed vengeance.

"Mother, Yuri. I will find your killer. I will get revenge. No matter what it takes."
