The boy was a little bit afraid. he was taken away from his village.

He was still unused with the glamorous way of living. he was not yet used to sleeping on a soft on nights where nightmares come he would find solace in watching the stars and vaguely he remembers a face and that soothes him.

it does not cross his mind once who had own the face.


he was now disappearing. there was no longer a need for Magi. he wonders if someone would miss him dearly and he shook that motion away. he had lost everything and now he was to disappear living not even a single evidence that he had existed.

and he's mind reminds him of a girl who he loves and wonders where she was now, surely she too had forgotten about him but he could not shake the motion that she was already waiting for him.

and so he smiles as he fades into dust.


In the palace he was given proper education along with the emperor's sons and daughters.

He was not treated like an outcast but like a family and was well cared for. he does not question the gnawing feeling in his heart and dismisses it as nothing.

he now had a play mate who goes by the name of Kougyoku Ren.

and vaguely he wonders why he feels nostalgic as if he has forgotten something-someone important.


The battle was hard and painful. he was no match against the other Magi, he felt even more despair and hopelessness he hated his weakness.

and as he attacks with blind rage and hatred a face flashes in his mind as his attack is rebuffed and he flew towards a wall

he wonders why he suddenly remembers the face he had long since forgotten(kept inside) in his mind.

he resumes his battle as if nothing happened.

yet he felt his strength return and his judgement cleared.

and he feels like he is no longer alone.


When he first learns of his status as a Magi, he accepted it calmly and went out of the room.

he felt like walking and walking and that he did until he ended up in a cliff and that it was now night time.

he sits and let his mind fully absorb what he had just learn as well as the fact that the reason why he was accepted that easily was because they knew he was a Magi.

He sneered.

and he feels so alone but when he gazes into the stars he is reminded of someone.

and once again he founds solace for the first time he wonders who this person was and wishes he could remember this person's name


He was walking around a fair buying food and browsing at the jewels. when he came across a cat that seemed to beckoned him to follow.

he was lead into the square where a girl with emerald-like eyes dances gracefully.

and he watches he could not shake the feeling that they had meet before.

and the dance ends he decides to drop money as well, he stays behind even when the crowd has disperse and the dance troupe was packing things

he does not know what he was waiting for but he does know that he has to wait

"Shirin~!"

the girl with emerald-like eyes goes over to what he presumes to be the leader he watches and then leaves.

"Shirin" the boy says with his mouth and he likes the taste it leaves and the feeling of nostalgia.

as if hearing a soft whisper of her name the girl looks around searching for someone familiar only to see glimpse of a long black hair that disappears to the alley.

it does not cross the boy's mind that she might be the very "Shirin" he is looking(yearning) for


When he first makes his dungeon he felt happy. he had decided to name the 56th dungeon Shatan. It was also here that he first met an annoying man

"Hey you!, who gave you permission to enter this dungeon?!" he says as he lands down in front of the man

"no one"

"in that case leave,now! this dungeon is not for you!" the young Magi says and threatens the man who he would come to utterly despise one day named Sinbad.

Sinbad who was smart enough to know his limits left.

neither of the two would consider this encounter as their first for they would both forget about it.

Judal was glad the man left and he too left.

it is not until 10 years later would the dungeon be cleared by the very person he had forgotten.


He had now remembered how his village was ruined by Al Sarmen the very organization that he worked for yet he could not find it in his self to cry. all he felt was emptiness as if he no longer has any emotions.

He goes to gaze at the stars once again and found the summer triangle that he was once thought by Shirin and he yearns for her soft and warm embrace.

instead he is comforted by Kougyoku

"I'm here, Judal" she says

but he does not find comfort in it.

he has long since given up being loved by her yet it does not stop him from using her as temporary replacement for Shirin. until then he would make do with this fake warm given by Kougyoku


Kougyoku once asks him what a suitable name for a queen would be and he answers immediately without thinking nor an ounce of hesitation that it would have to be Shirin.

Kougyoku frowns and asks why that is.

He is unable to give a proper answer other than he just know it is.

It was not until later would he realize why Kougyoku ask such a queer question but despite that he would not dwell on it but rather on the fact that he had finally remembered what the girl from his memories was named

"Shirin" he says to no one

and he is pleased despite it not showing in his face.

It is not until later that night when he would gain all of the truth would he start to yearn for that person's embrace.


The is the story of the boy told in reverse.
