Magic Knight Chochiku's Story
By Cass Amy Mako
A girl with shoulder-length black hair and black eyes weaved her way through the crowded Chizetan street, stealing people's wallets. She did this every day, and had never been caught. For five of her ten years she had been doing this as her sole income. She had to move around a lot to keep Social Services from taking her to an orphanage. Her few belongings were stored in a backpack bought with stolen money. She managed to be inconspicuous, only because she could not be recognized. She pulled a man's wallet out of his pocket and he turned to look at her. Feeling his pocket for his wallet and finding it missing, he turned again to the girl. "Oh great, I'm caught!" the girl, named Chochiku, thought. Suddenly, she disappeared.
Chochiku looked around and found herself in the courtyard of a castle. She could tell it wasn't Chizeta's palace, but she didn't know who's it was. She shrugged and entered through a door. While walking through the hallways, trying to find someone, she came across a pink-haired Chizetan illusionist. "Hey there girl, you must be the other Magic Knight all them important people are talking about. Come on, I'll take you to Clef now. My name's Caldina by the way. What's yours?" she said and took Chochiku's hand and began to walk down the hallway when Chochiku pulled her hand away. :My name's Chochiku and I don't need help," she said stubbornly. "So you wanna play rough, then?" Caldina said, reaching for her knives. She suddenly noticed Chochiku was holding them. "You give them back right now, you hear?" she said, annoyed. Chochiku smirked and gave back the knives, then left Caldina in the hallway.
Some time later, she arrived in a room with two other girls, who introduced themselves as the princess of Chizeta and the princess of Fahren. Chochiku just stared at them silently and sat down. Clef talked to them about their coming duties of being a Magic Knight, which all three of them kinda ignored, then called on Mako. "Mako, please come here," he said. She walked up to him. "Yes, Clef-san?" "I am going to give you magic and armor. You all must travel to the Spring of Eterna to get escudo and guardians. He held out his ring to Mako, and armor appeared over her clothes. It had purple escudo. Her shoes became boots and she got a glove on one hand. "Cool!" she said happily. "Do you feel the magic inside of you Mako?" Clef asked. "Uh huh. I hear myself saying Dark Heart. I can feel the magic being used," Mako replied. Kahna and Chochiku had their turns too. Kahna's armor had yellow escudo. When Chochiku went up to Clef, he asked if she could feel her magic. She simply nodded and noted that her escudo was white. Mako was the knight of black magic, Kahna was the knight of light, and she was the knight of dreams.
In the morning, the three girls set off for the spring of Eterna. When they found it, they jumped inside. Chochiku passed out almost immediately, and awoke in a strange white room. She saw herself armed with a ballpoint pen. (AN: Don't try this at home!) Chochiku looked at herself. "Oh, I'm so pretty! I think I'm supposed top battle her, but I could never kill someone so pretty!" she said. The other Chochiku went up to her and stabbed her in the heart with the pen. "You…got…ink…on…my…only…shirt," Chochiku complained, then died.
