Chapter 1: Happy Birthday Koshino!

Koshino went up the stairs to his room. He knew that a package would be waiting for him there. Today was his sixteenth birthday, but no one cared. His father was off in Brazil while his mother was vacationing in England. Both of them couldn't come home to the mansion. They did send him an e-mail greeting and their gift. Usually, they would send him jewerly or books. Nothing much to look forward to.

He opened the door to his bedroom and was surprised. Sitting on his bed was a large castle. It seemed so real. Koshino went closer and knelt down on the floor. There was nothing inside. No knights, no kings and queens... "It's a boring castle. Where are all the knights?" he asked himself. He sighed and got up. Maybe he should just get some sleep. After all, it's not like he was going to celebrate his birthday with someone. He was just going to eat a lonely dinner, just like any normal day.

It was almost midnight when Koshino suddenly woke up. He didn't know what shook him off his slumber. Maybe it was hunger. After all, he didn't eat anything before drowsing off. A tray of food was on his table and he guessed that one of the maids brought it in while he was asleep. He turned on his lamp and started eating his cold dinner. The clock struck twelve and Koshino thought he saw something move inside the miniature castle. He crept closer and noticed that there were indeed, lights. Something moved inside and he dropped his fork in surprise. Something was definitely walking around it.

Koshino peered in and noticed that a rather large group of people were gathered around the throne room. He could hear voices and a conversation going on. Something about a quest for a missing princess. Koshino tried to listen to what they have to say when one of them finally noticed him.

"Eek!" the spectacled one cried out. Everyone turned to look at him. Their mouths weer wide open and their jaws were on the floor. Koshino studied each of them. There was a red head, a raven-haired, a spiky-haired, a spectacled one, a scarred one, a curly-haired one....They were all so tiny that Koshino couldn't really see the details of their faces.

"It's a big human!" the red head exclaimed. "Do'aho. Of course it is." the raven-haired guy sighed. There were whispers and murmurs from the little people. Koshino felt like he was a criminal, with all the stares he was getting. He couldn't even speak until an old miniature man suddenly chuckled and went closer to one of the windows. He brought out a small glass of liquid and handed it to Koshino. The latter supposed that he was to drink it and he accepted the teensy weensy glass. With one lick, he finished the whole glass. Suddenly, everything felt weird. The feeling one gets from the elevator.

It lasted only a few seconds. Koshino had closed his eyes and now, he opened them. Just then, he realized that he also turned miniature! Now, he could see everyone clearly. The old man was wearing a robe and he also sported glasses. They surrounded him and tried to talk to him. The place became noisy and Koshino felt like he was about to faint. It must be an effect of drinking the strange liquid. He staggered back and forth and felt an arm grabbing him. It was the spiky-haired one. That was the last he saw before everything turned black.
