The little boy watched from behind the tree, the large castle in the sky. His auburn eyes focused on the castle's giant appearance, how it stood majestically on the soft cloud. Oh how he longed to enter the midst of the castle, to join all the other kids there. The other witches, princesses, warriors, ghosts, princes, and all the other magical creatures. He stood watching Felicent Magical Prepatory School, but he was only a mere human with no such powers whatsoever. His mother was a human married to another human, his father. Both have not even a tiny drop of magic in their old and frill bodies, if only he, if only he could earn his family name with his father. Be able to prove to everyone that you don't need magical powers to prove yourself to everyone. If only he could be the diamond in the rough; but it will never happen, the kingdom of Felicent only took in kids that actually had magical powers. So his chances of ever taking any of the courses there, were an absolute zero. The boy sighs, his thoughts depressing him once more like they usually do.

"Takuya! Please come inside, your mother needs help with dinner," the old and shaky voice of his father fills his ears. Takuya sighs, taking his gaze away from the castle and towards his calling father.

"Alright Daddy, I'm coming," Takuya reassures, taking his five year old self and walking towards him. His father sighs, putting one firm hand on his son's shoulder. Takuya stood bewildered at his father, his father was never the 'bonding' type. He had never lectured Takuya, or ever told him right from wrong. Takuya had to adjust to everything around him without the help of his parents, it's the way human kids at Felicent kingdom were brought up, but Takuya always thought that he was the one getting it worse than the others. The other kids were at least allowed to take breaks to play with their little friends, play with their parents even. But not Takuya, he didn't even have any friends because he was always working. His parents loved him, he knew that, but they never let him do anything.

"Takuya, you've gotta get these little fantasies out of your head," his father says roughly. Takuya frowns, no way no how.

"I can't daddy, I wanna be up there so badly, with everyone else. I wanna be a warrior daddy, a wizard, even a donkey that can fly! I don't care, I just...wanna be up there," Takuya murmurs, watching in amazement as the castle turned a fade shade of blue, which it does when the graduates of the year were leaving the school to go on to bigger and better things. It's a wonderful celebration that takes up an entire day, which includes the humans and the magical creatures. It was truly one of Takuya's favorite times of the year. The party's were so big, and the students that were graduating all got to show of one of their signature moves which would determine which course they would be taking on their quests. The quests came right after you graduated, they would test all the things you learned at the school, you all went in small groups, each consisting of at least one of the many magical creatures. The quests, are incredibly hard and can take up to years in finishing, it really depends on the kind of quest you take.

It's Takuya's dream to walk in his little group, towards the dangers outside of the Felicent Kingdom, too bad he would never be able to live up to it.

"Takuya, you can't do it! There are things in this world you just can't do! Why won't you understand that?" his father says, frustratingly pacing back and forth in front of him.

"Because I refuse to give up daddy, someday I'll prove to you that I can go the distance, I can go up there, I can do one of the quests, and I can graduate," Takuya says determined. His father gave him a hard slap on the back of his head, shaking his head at the boy.

"You will not associate with those kind of people, they're nothing but trouble, understand?" his father commanded.

"No, daddy they're not, they're all incredible people who-"

"I will hear no such nonsense!" his father aggravatingly yells, slapping Takuya across the face. The stinging on his cheek was proof enough, his father didn't want him to fulfill his dreams.

"I don't need your permission! I can go if I wanna! You're not the boss of me!" Takuya screams, running into the dangers of the forest. His auburn hair flying behind him and his small tan legs barely holding him up, they were shaking like wiggling jell-o as he ran, the voice of his cold father slowly drifting away.

"TAKUYA!"

"No!" he screams, running faster, as the sun in the horizon began to disappear, and turn into the cold of the night. The worst possible time to ever be out in the forest.

Takuya had soon stopped walking, the depth defying cold finally getting to him as the air wrapped itself around him like an icy blanket. He shivers as the wind blows through his hair, messing it up more than it already was. He sighs, sitting down on a large boulder at the end of the forest, he watched the dimming lights at the castle, the celebration for the graduates must be drawing to a close. It's a shame he missed it, but all because of his father.

"Why must he be so stubborn? Why can't he just accept what I want? Why? Why? Why?" he thinks.

"I don't like this anymore," Takuya murmurs, laying down on the hard boulder. The hardness of the rock stiffening his body. He ignores the feeling, watching as the clouds covered up the now full moon, its light reflecting down on Takuya.

"I wanna go home, but not to daddy," Takuya says under his breath as a small white mist blew from his mouth, "I wanna become the greatest hero on earth, become...a somebody." he smiles, his eyes slowly closing at the thought.

"Takuya! Takuya!," the crowd sang as Takuya appeared on a small float. He waved at the many cheering people bellow him, all having wide smiles plastered against their faces. All thinking the same thing, "Takuya is the greatest!". Takuya bowed his head, the helmet on his head almost falling off, and he gave a sheepish grin as he placed it back on. He weald a large sword in his right hand, its tip gripping the sun's rays and shinning brightly against the eyes of the many admiring people. Everyone threw confetti at his feet, cheering and screaming. But suddenly, the screaming soon changed from happiness, to pure terror. Takuya blinked and the scene completely changed, he suddenly felt hot. Hotter than he has ever felt before. He could feel his chest burning with fire.

"Wh...What-" he choked out, smoke filling his lungs. He looks up and watches as the forest around him was black and crumbled, everything burned, burnt bodies lay around his destroyed float as the flames rose around him.

"No, fire," he whispers as the fire soon made a circle around him, getting closer, and closer. Getting ready to swallow him whole, as the flames soon began to spread around his body.

"NO! DADDY!" he screamed, dropping his blade on the ground, in order to try and free himself from the flames.

"HELP!"

"Help!" Takuya screamed, jumping up from his deep slumber. He rubbed his eyes and looked up at the moon, just as he had left it when he fell asleep.

"All just a dream," he whispered, he looked around him and gasped. No, not just a dream.

Flames surrounded the forest, small animals running around frantically trying to find a way out. A loud explosion was suddenly heard from behind him. He gasps and turns around. Sparks flew all over the sky and little pieces of a destroyed home flew around him. Takuya quickly glanced down at the burning dress that was crumbling before him, he stared in horror as he realizes...his mother wore that dress yesterday. Takuya leaps off the boulder his feet hitting the ground and heat quickly engulfing him as he stares at the rising flames approaching him. He breathes in and out, the flames testing him, seeing if he'll really run through them to get to his cold hearted father and his mother.

"I...will...," Takuya whispers, before sprinting through the forest, his small body dashing through the flames, pain filling his body as he ran. The flames seemed to slash at his body, urging the small boy to go back and save himself. Takuya on the other hand, would rather see himself die with the ones he loved, than to let them die on there own.

"Ah! DADDY!" Takuya screams, running faster. His heart stops as he comes upon a large wreckage, where his house use to be.

"N...no...," he stammers, running to the ruined down house. The flames slowly turning the house into nothing but ashes on the ground. The screams of a woman and a man filling his ears.

"MOMMY DADDY!" Takuya screams ,trying to run towards the house, but something held him back...someone.

"Let me go! Let me go! I have to save them!" Takuya says, struggling past the set of arms that had grabbed him and were pulling him back.

"No, its...your destiny," the man whispers, Takuya looks up at the man, his eyes concealed by a pair of dark sunglasses that reflected the mixture of the flames colors. His strong grip on Takuya began to get tighter as Takuya tried to wiggle from his reach even harder.

"NOOOOOOOOOO," Takuya screams as the house soon collapsed on the ground, with his two loved ones inside. Ashes, nothing but ashes, smoke and a firework of sparks, the only things left. Takuya's throat slowly began to fill with the smoke. Tears swell in his eyes, as two badly burnt bodies lay on the ground, rubble and dirt poured all over them.

"LET ME GO!" Takuya yells struggling against the man, he simply let's him go causing Takuya to fall flat on his face. The twigs on the ground scratching up his face as he crawls towards the bodies, the mixture of salty tears and fresh blood pierced itself through his mouth as he stops. His heart seemed to be the only thing that was making noise. Everything else an unbearable silence as he placed his hand on the burnt shoulder of the body of his father.

"S...S..on," his father whispered, Takuya gasps looking at his father who was still breathing, although he would die soon. He looked over at his mother with hope, but she was gone...definitely gone.

"Daddy, I'm sorry, please don't die," Takuya rushes, holding his bleeding hand. His father manages a smile, gripping onto his son's hand.

"No,...don't...be...sorry," he coughed, "At least you're still alive It...was...the...demons they, it...Tak...u...ya...I...l..o..v..e...y...o-" but he was cut off. His hand squeezing Takuya's hand tightly, when suddenly his grip loosened and his arm only waved around like a flag.

"Daddy?" Takuya whispers, his father's hand still in his own.

"No, come back, ...I wanna go with you, don't leave me, DADDY!" Takuya yells, his heart racing with anger, horror, sadness, love...the list could go on. He felt a large hand grip at his shoulder.

"Come Takuya," the man whispers, Takuya looks up at the sunglass man, his face looked anything but welcoming, he wore a long black coat that went up to his knees which covered up some of his dark pants and dark shoes. Wow, dark dude.

"Who...who...are you?" Takuya asks, frightened by the man's appearance. The man grins, picking Takuya up from the ground and carrying him in his arms.

"The name's...Leo, and I'm here to protect you," Leo says, beginning to walk away from the scene.

"Protect me? Protect me from what Leo?" Takuya asks, yawning.

"I'm here to protect you from the demons, in case of another attack, see, the reason your house was attacked is because-," but he was interrupted by the loud snoring of the little boy in his arms. He smiles as he watches the young Takuya in his arms. He walks farther into the kingdom of Felicent. Where everyone was already talking about the events of the day, like well spreading gossip at a local High School. Leo ignored the countless questions that people bombarded him with as he approached the large gray building.

He sighs, looking down at the sleeping Takuya again, before entering the building.

"Leo, you've returned, it was about time," says a woman dressed in a baggy white t-shirt that was twice her size and an even larger skirt with floral colors and a pair of jeans underneath, she wore no shoes and her brown hair was let loose all around her. But she had a kind face, a smile that was warming even to the most deadly of creatures.

"Yes Martha, I found the boy, he had run away and came back due to the destruction of the fire," Leo replies, walking into the busy office. Martha followed him towards Leo's own small square office, which was even grayer than the building's outer appearance. He sat down at his desk, placing Takuya in a small bed at the corner of the room. Martha sat at the chair beside him, watching him as if he were precious gold in a wrecked village.

"So this is the infamous Takuya Kangara?" she asks

"Kanbara, and yes it is," Leo says laughing at her mistake, she rolls her eyes at him and picks at the dirt in Takuya's hair.

"Poor thing, doesn't know what's in store for him," she says sweetly.

"What can we do Martha, it's his destiny, If it could be any other child but him, I would have rather that have happened, I just don't understand...why him," Leo mumbles. Martha stands, walking next to Leo and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I have no idea, but...what is he going to do now? He doesn't have a family, and...we can't just leave him on the streets, everyone's gonna be talking about it the next day and you know it Leo. He doesn't have much of a happy future anymore, his parents are dead, demons want him dead, the king wants him crowned evil. He...he's ruined," Martha says.

"Not yet, maybe we can still save him," Leo says, suddenly conjuring a phone out of thin air. Martha stares at him, startled at his action.

"What on earth are you-,"

"Shhhh, um yes hello, this is Leo speaking, yes, yes I'm doing fine. Listen, may I please speak to the headmaster, yes, its very urgent," Martha heard a bunch of rumbling from the other line, she was eager to know what was happening.

"Hello? Headmaster, yes, it's me, listen I have a young boy here, uh, he's five sir. Yes, yes I know you don't accept youngsters, but he could be your cleaning assistant, cook, whatever, he just lost his family and is an orphan. Please try to understand, sir," Martha heard a loud sigh from the other line. Leo let out a large smile.

"Good, I'll bring him over tomorrow, thank you," and with that Leo hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Martha asks eagerly. Leo smiles, looking back at Takuya.

"Where is the safest place in all of Felicia?" Leo asks, Martha raises an eyebrow at him.

"Well, Felicent Magical Prepatory School of course, but what does-,"

"And, I just got Takuya a job at the place, he'll be living there for now," Leo smiles, Martha sighs in relief, hugging Leo close.

"Oh Leo, Leo, Leo! Takuya will be safe! Thank goodness!" she laughs, as Leo blushes madly.

"Ahem, yes, yes now let's get him over there before anyone realizes where the boy is," Leo says grabbing Takuya and putting a small cloak over him. Martha follows them, running towards the many busy streets, everyone talking about the same thing. Takuya.

"Yes, his name, was Takuya Kangarao or something?" one lady whispered

"No, it was Takura Kangora" said the other lady, Leo rolls his eyes at the ladies, aggravated with both of them while Martha smiled.

"At least I didn't mess up as much as they did," she grins

"Whatever," Leo replies, running towards a large rock, he stared at the rock for a good long time, before his eyes suddenly turned in electrifying blue. His entire body turned blue and Martha quickly grabbed on to him, she soon found herself off the ground, along with Leo and Takuya. All flying up to the castle in the sky. Martha smiles as she notices how truly high the school really was. People watched as they flew off, everyone looking like small ants as they arrived at the castle. They steadied themselves on the soft cloud. Leo returned back to his normal state. Takuya still snoring in his arms.

"Man he's a heavy sleeper," Martha whispers as Leo nods. Leo quickly rings the doorbell and instantly the surprising sound of a computer erupted in their minds.

"State your name, job, and your purpose of your visit," the computer says, her voice sounding just as mechanical as the doors were.

"Uh, My name is Leo Hertz, I work at the Department of demons and I am here to give up the boy Takuya Kanbara" Leo says, scrambling up his words but still making them sound right.

"Oh um, I am Martha Carla, and I work along side of Leo Hertz, also here to drop off Takuya Kangara,"

"Kanbara," Leo whispers

"Uh, I mean Kanbara," Martha corrects quickly, mentally slapping herself. The double doors burst open and the two walked inside. They did not have much time to admire the building as they got sucked through the floor only to land at the headmaster's office.

"Sir, I am here with...Takuya," Leo says, wobbling over to the headmaster who's back was turned to them. He turns in his chair, staring at them with cold black eyes.

"Ah, yes...Takuya" the headmaster says, taking the boy from his arms and examining him.

"I trust you shall take good care of him?" Leo says, not believing his own words. The headmaster gives a small smirk.

"Of course Leo, you need not to be worried, Takuya is in good hands at my school," the headmaster says, patting Takuya roughly on the head. Leo nods and takes Martha's hand, both walking out of the office. The headmaster catches a glimpse of Martha's eyes as she walks out.

"Distrust is not a good look on her, but...no matter, she will soon learn," the headmaster grins, he looks down at Takuya. Greed engulfing his entire face.

"So this is Takuya Kanbara, it is about time I met the boy. So many prophecy's, so many imitations. But nothing can beat the real...warrior of flame, now can they?" The headmaster smiles.

"We shall soon see, what kind of a person you truly are Takuya, to see...what the powers of fire can bring to any person. Here...is your time to shine...Takuya Kanbara, warrior of flame."
