Chapter 1

~15 years ago~

Yuri's POV

It was a stormy night and I was sitting inside my room starring outside my window. Watching and hearing the rain coming down like a thousand arrows hitting no target. I heard footsteps and yells coming from outside my room and I thought it was Estelle, my best friend that I play with a lot outside in the garden. What I didn't expect to see were a few men clad in black coming towards me. I was scared and was about to scream when he covered my mouth with his big, rough hands. I was trembling.

"Mmmmn mnn mn mm!" I let out a muffled scream that could barely be heard.

"Shut up you brat!" He shouted at me and grabbed a hold of me and jumped out the window of my room.

I caught a glimpse of my terrified mother before I slipped into darkness due to the sudden shock of being kidnapped.

When I woke up, I saw no one. I couldn't remember anything before I blacked out. I know my name is Yuri . . . something . . . I can't remember my full name, where I live, who my parents are and what I am doing here, under a giant tree, of a place I do not know. All I remember is my name and my age.

"Brrr . . . I-It's so c-cold." I was shivering in the cold of my clothes drenched in freezing rainwater from the day before. I huddled myself together to keep myself as warm as possible. Before I slipped back into to darkness I saw a boy looking at me worriedly. Then, everything went blank.

Flynn's POV

I was walking down the street in Halure with the caretaker of the orphans, Marianne, and decided to go to where the base of the tree was to take a closer look at the beautiful sakura tree that holds the barrier blastia that protects this beautiful place. Also that is my favourite spot in Halure.

"Marianne, I want to go to the big tree again. Can I go? Please." I pleaded.

"Ok, you can go Flynn, I'll be there in a short while after I buy some food and some gels. You go on ahead." She replied smiling at the young blond boy.

"Yay! Thanks again, Marianne. I'll see you there then." I exclaimed jumping for joy then dashing off the great tree.

When I got there I stared at the beautiful flowers that were blooming on the tree. I was going to sit down on the roots when I noticed a small body hidden behind the large roots of the tree. It was a boy with long raven locks and he had coal black eyes, I bet he saw me before he became unconscious. I was worried about him because he looked very pale and weak, he was wearing clothes that were drenched in water and he had a few cuts on his face and a bruise on his arm. I was going to shake him awake, but when I touch his shoulder heat overwhelmed my hand and I had to pull back. This boy has a very high fever and I was panicking on what I should do. Then, I saw Marianne coming up the road to the great tree and an idea struck me.

"Marianne, there is a boy with a very high fever under the tree there. I am worried about him, his face looks really pale." I shouted to her while I was running towards her.

She picked up her pace and walked faster to the great tree. She saw the tattered boy and quickly put down her things to take a look at the boy.

"Will he be alright?" I asked worriedly looking down at the boy in deep slumber on the ground.

"He will recover, but he needs to be checked by a doctor. Flynn, go back to the orphanage and tell Luke and Lucifer to come here and help me out, I will look after the boy in the mean time." She commanded in a serious tone.

"Got it! I'll be right back." I ran as fast as my legs could carry me back to the orphanage here.

I spotted Luke and Lucifer sitting down and reading stories to the other kids. Those two are like brothers to me. " Luke, Lucifer! There's an emergency and Marianne needs your help. I'll take you there, now!" I said and the three of us sprinted off to the direction of the great tree.

When we got there Marianne told Luke to carry the sick boy back to the orphanage and Lucifer and I helped with carrying the food that she had bought. I had a worried expression on my face and I wondered what happened to that poor boy to end up in that condition. My mind was off thinking about the raven-haired boy during the walk back to my home-the orphanage.

We got a doctor to check him and he said that he would recover soon within a few days rest. I was relieved to hear that he wasn't in such a bad situation that I had feared. I sat on a chair beside the bed waiting for him to wake up and see if I can make a new friend. I was starring off into space, when I heard a noise beside me. I saw his eyes flew open and he was looking around the room he was in, then his gaze landed on me.

I was so happy that he was finally awake that I went and called Marianne, Luke and Lucifer to the room to check on the boy. He was starring at us with a questioning face, "Where am I and who are you? I thought I was supposed to be under a tree. Did you save me?"

"You are at the orphanage of Halure and we are the ones who saved you and brought you here. Hi, my name is Flynn, Flynn Scifo. This is Marianne, Luke and Lucifer." I introduced everybody to him, "What is your name?"

"My name is Yuri. Yuri . . . something, I can't remember." The boy introduced himself as well.

"Let's be friends, Yuri, we can try to help you to maybe regain your memory of your past. I really want to be your friend." I asked flashing my friendly smile at him.

"OK! That would be great, but . . . um . . . can I stay here. I have nowhere to go." He said sounding a bit unsure, but also filled with sadness.

"No problem, we welcome you here with open arms." Marianne smiled.

Normal POV

Marianne gave Yuri and Flynn a room to share since the two boys were playing together like they had been together for a long time. Flynn was very happy to share a room with Yuri, his new best friend.

Yuri's POV

This is awesome. I already made a best friend and I am rooming with him. I wonder what my past was like; did I have a friend just like Flynn? I was spacing out until I heard Flynn calling my name.

"Yuri, Yuri, YURI!" Flynn shouted to shake me out of my reverie.

"W-What is it?" I asked looking at him.

"Are you alright?" He asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. I was just spacing out, that's all. Don't worry, I was just wondering what my past was like." I said placing a hand on his shoulder reassuring him that I was all right.

"Good, I was scared that your fever had returned." Flynn said placing a smile on his face showing that he cared for me.

"Diner time!" Marianne shouted and Luke and Lucifer went to get all the kids to the dining room.

"Hey guys, it's time for dinner. You don't want to miss eating Marianne's cooking it's delicious. Let's go!" Luke said motioning us to follow him.

I wonder what we will be eating. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten since I woke up and I am hungry. Flynn and I quickly got up and ran to the dining room to have dinner.

After Diner

Flynn and I excused us politely from the table and headed back to our room. We were carving something from the wood that we asked Lucifer to get for us. We were planning to make wooden swords to train our fighting abilities so that we can defend ourselves if we needed to.

"Hey, Flynn, even if we did make them where can we train and the important things is that we don't even know how to fight." I exclaimed with disappointment.

"I got that all figured out, Yuri. Luke and Lucifer used to be in a guild in Dangrest and they know how to fight. They were the best fighters that their guild had. We can ask them to teach us how to fight because someday I want to travel the world and help people. Do you want to come with me, Yuri? We can see the world and meet new people, but it will be a dangerous trip. " he said with sparkles in his eyes telling me his dream.

"Yeah . . . that sounds like a great dream. I want to come with you. That's a deal, but first lets ask Luke and Lucifer if they will teach us first." I agreed with my head filled with thoughts about traveling the world with Flynn.

"Sounds good, let's go find them!" he said jerking up from his spot and pulled me up with him. We ran straight to the kitchen to find Luke and Lucifer.

"Hey, Luke, Lucifer, we want you guys to teach us how to fight with a sword!" Flynn exclaimed with pure joy written all over his face, " We want to travel the world when we get older, so can you teach us?"

"Please, can you teach us? We really want to see the world outside." I helped Flynn with the asking since I was going to join in with his adventure.

"All right, all right, we'll teach you guys, but no slacking off. Got it?" Luke said defeated by our pleading.

"Got it! Yay! Thanks, Luke and Lucifer. We promise we won't slack off!" we both said at the same time and jumping for joy.

~Present: Yuri and Flynn are now 21~

Yuri's POV

I was just thinking back about the time when we were still young and how we met. I still couldn't remember anything about my past, but at least our dream to travel around the world came true.

"Hey, Yuri, what are you thinking about?" Flynn asked me with a small smile.

"Oh, nothing much. Just thinking about how we met and how all the dreams we had when we were young became reality. Thanks to Luke and Lucifer, the great training teachers, that we can be such good fighters. It was funny thinking back that we had to plead with puppy dog eyes just to have them teach us," I chuckled, "I really miss Marianne's cooking. It was delicious!" Flynn laughed at my last comment.

"I wonder how Marianne, Luke and Lucifer are doing? I kinda miss them." He said looking ahead where the great tree of Halure stood.

"Yeah, same here. They are nice people. Anyways we will find out when we get there. We're almost back to Halure, maybe just a 5 hour walk from here." I said smiling at my best friend.

We walked for about 3 hours and our destination was getting closer.

ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!!!!

We heard a monster's roar and when we turned around we saw a bear like creature charging at us. It was getting closer by the minute. We readied our swords and prepared for attack.

Flynn charged first, but the bear knocked him down a few meters away and it was going for Flynn. Flynn wouldn't get up in time. I didn't know what to do and my body moved on it's own. I was running as fast as I can towards Flynn.

SLAAASH!
