Prologue: A time long lost
"Gah! Kugh!", a normal morning with the morning dew dripping off the grass as its overshadowed by the two children sparring. "Keh!" The girl has her lance at the boy's throat as he stares at her with a shocked but unsurprised face, "looks like I win again Connor!" the girl says happily as she revels over her victory.
"Jeez, I can't keep up with you, but you do have longer reach than I do so I don't think it's really fair…."
"No excuses now! I won fair and square!"
*Sigh…* "Just what am I going to do with you…?"
"Oh no! We were supposed to be back by noon, dad's totally going to scold me!"
"Wait! Isa! Ugh… you forgot to pack up our stuff…. *why am I always cleaning up after her? *
"Ahhh! Let go!"
"Isa? Isa!"
Connor runs towards the sound of the screaming to find two hooded figures holding Isa by her arm.
"Let me go you brute!" screams Isa as she struggles to break free.
"No can-do girl, you're the perfect bait to lure out him out…."
"LET HER GO!" Connor screams as he runs up and tackles the hooded figure.
"Guh! You runt I'll make you- wait…just a minute…. aren't you-"
"No mistake, that boy is his little brat" replies the second hooded figure.
"Forget the girl, this boy will be our new lure, you're coming with us!"
"Get away from me, I'm not scared to fight you if I have to!"
"Isn't that cute? Fool boy… what are you going to do against us?"
Isa then rushes up and hits one of the hooded figure in the face with the pole of her lance
"Don't you lay a finger on my friend!"
"That's it! I didn't want to have to harm a kid, but you asked for it girl!"
The hooded figure pulls out his own weapon and does a swift strike towards Isa.
"Ahh!"
The young girl is knocked downed
"Ugh…."
"ISA! ISA!" screams Connor as he kneels by her trying to wake up.
"Oops, I think you might have hit her a bit too hard, she's knocked out cold!"
"Whatever, now then boy if you don't want to end up like your friend then you- "
"You…you hurt her…" Connor replies now in a dark and deepened voice.
"Huh? Listen boy you'd bet- GAHHHHHHHHH!"
"What in the wor- AHHHHHHHHHH!"
…. Isa… Isa…. Isa!
"Connor! … Oh, it's just you Angela…I'm sorry I dowsed off again…."
"That's the third time you've screamed like that you know? Ever since you requested to put your career on hold and transfer to the academy, are you stressed?"
"Well I don't think I'm stressed…. it's just…it's been over eight years since I've seen him and well I guess I'm feeling a bit nostalgic…... *Connor, I wonder how much you've been…. * "
