The final crack broke filling the area with a pure blinding light.

The blinding white slowly started to fade letting me take stock of my new surroundings.

I was in a bed, a simple one surrounded by a white sheet on both sides. Perhaps this was some kind of hospital?

I attempted to sit up in bed but couldn't find the strength to raise my head. My throat was dry so damn dry that it felt like I had not had water for weeks. How long was I out?

"hello"-I chirped weekly.

Nothing

I mustered what little energy I had and tried to shout, what came out was a raspy and squeaky but audible

"Hello!"

Suddenly the sheets to my right moved aside revealing the same young man I had previously seen under the rubble only now I saw more than just his face.

He had black and white hair splitting unevenly in the middle of his head.

He was sporting a pair of black pants with a redshirt adorned with fishnets down from under the sleeves.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"-He asked

"Like i'm halfway between dead and dying"-I said with my raspy sounding voice

"Good means you aren't, currently at least" - He said, smiling a small smile.

"..Is that supposed to make me feel better or?"- I said incredulously

"Ha no more like it is a bad joke…sorry"

"Anyway before I forget I spoke with the nurse and she said you should be up on your feet after a few days but you will most likely be in pain for a while."

"Guess that's good"-I said smiling a painful smile

We both just looked at each other smiling small smiles forming a small silence in the seemingly empty hospital.

"Hey kid I just realised I never asked your name"

.Its just blank I can't remember ... .who am I?...what …

"I…I can't remember ..sorry"

"Damn that sucks, maybe you hit your head to hard on the ground when you fell down"

"Gotta say that was a risky thing you did, however, running that low on magic power and still pulling trough at your age is impressive I got to say…wait actually how old are you?"

I simply deadpanned at him.

"Oh right, memory loss, tsk"- he said leaning back against the wall and scratching the side of his head in annoyance . He then turned his head towards me and said.

"Well looking at you I would say somewhere around 11 or 13 hard to say seeing as you look like a corpse"

"How old are you?"-I asked

"Me? I'm 14 but I turn 15 in about 2 weeks"

I started to close my eyes feeling a bit exhausted,

"Hey.. what's your name?"

"My name is Totumaru, let's talk again when you are fully rested okay?"

"Sounds good"-I said falling into a slumber.

Who am I? What do I want to be? Where do I go?

Those words echoed in my head over and over ? What Where? Things that were supposed to be there weren't and yet I felt calm like it had always been this way. Children have parents I don't.

I was not sired nor born, I was made…so then what does that make me?

Am I just some automaton without a soul?

A thing? …no I can't go down that line of thinking. I know what things are, I know that I am created, I know how society works and how magic forms in a person.

All I need …is a name.

When I awoke I was in the same bed as before but instead of the bloodied rags of a gown I had on before I now was clothed in a clean one.

Seeing as I now could actually move I sat up in the bed and gave the room a quick check.

The sheats separating me had been removed, the walls had a greenish hue to them with flower patterns. There were more beds besides mine, however none were filled.

Sitting on the opposite side of the room was a young man in a doctor's outfit working on notes next to an ornate desk.

"Ah hello there my name is dr jenkins I trust you are feeling better?" -he said standing up and starting to make his way over to me.

"Yes, it still hurts a bit but at least it's better"

"Great! I just need to run a few tests and I'll let you be on your way."

"Try raising your arms above your head please"-he said, pulling out a notepad and pen from thin air.

I raised my arms upwards. They felt a touch heavy to move but otherwise fine.

"Good lets move on too…."

This continued for a while with him checking his notes and then continuing doing a routine physical exam.

"Ok then one last thing to check"-He said stowing away his notepad and pulling out a lacrima, a show of Requip magic.

"Please channel a bit of magic energy into the lacrima"

I placed my hand and started pushing a small amount of my magical energy into the lacrima making it shine a clear blue light.

"Good everything seems to be in order"

"Your friend is waiting for you outside but before that.."-He said while stowing away his notes and the lacrima.

"Do you have any clothes?"

"No I don't"-I said raising a questioning eyebrow

"I see..you see that door over there?"- the doctor said, pointing to a door on the far side of the room.

"Behind that door is a shower room, but we also have a collection of lost clothes no one bothered to come back for. So feel free to grab what you need."

"Oh, thank you I shall"-I said standing up

I was still feeling a bit woozy from being bedridden all those days but I could still stand and walk, albeit a bit slowly.

Opening the door the doctor had pointed to, I was welcomed by the sight of a small shower room, complete with towels, soap and a mirror. I decided to take a quick look.

It's been a bit since I actually saw what I looked like, wonder if my hair is the same?

Making my way over to the mirror I was greeted by my reflection. I saw before me a pale looking young boy, malnourished and scrawny, he had crimson red hair with a pair of red eyes.

My eyes and hair are red and I'm so damn scrawny…oh well I guess that can be fixed with time, I wonder if there are other people in the world with red hair…maybe this body once had siblings…did I have siblings?...

More importantly …what was my name…I can't remember it ...so then.. if I don't have a name …what does that make me?

I continued my shower enjoying every moment of peace the cool water was giving me, and most of all feeling clean again!

After I had showered I made my way into a door labelled (lost items)

The room was filled with different boxes with differing labels, everything from toys to shoes. '

Well he did say to grab whatever I needed, let's see what we have.

I opened the boxes and sifting through them I sorted out a simple assortment of clothes.

A white shirt with "smile" printed in the middle, blue jeans, a pair of socks and shoes, and lastly a red hoodie with "power" on the back.

"This seems good"-I said, giving myself a once over in the mirror.

I made my way back into the room I was in. The young dr was waiting just outside the door, by his side he had a pair of crutches.

"Ah hello there, some nice clothes you picked out!-He said, giving me a large smile.

"Yes thank you once again I truly can't thank you enough"-I said giving him a smile back.

"No need to worry about it, most of those things have been there for years. no reason to let them waste away in an old box."

"Oh and before I forget"- He reached into his pocket pulling out a small cartridge of pills.

"These are some painkillers. Should help you acclimate to pushing your body around. -while explaining this he handed me the crutches.

"Thank you"-I stowed the pills in my hoodie pocket.

"OH!" "I almost forgot!"- He said, walking briskly to his desk.

"Here" - he said, giving me a letter."

"Your friend said to give that to you, he also said he was sorry he couldn't be her.. Something about a guild mission"

"Anyway take your time i'll be at my desk if you need something"

The letter had a strange seal on the front of it, it looked like some form of crest. I opened the letter and was met with a bit of messy but readable handwriting.

"Dear friend (I dont know your name so forgive me for not addressing you) I regret not being there when you wake up again, however my guild has a need for me and I am not one to shy away from duty.

From our previous brief conversation it seems to me you are suffering from some kind of amnesia.

I am unsure about giving you free reign to walk around when you don't remember who you are or where to go.

I wish to solve both these dilemmas.

I am a member of the guild Phantom Lord.

Our guilds headquarters are located a bit down the road.(you can't miss it trust me) I saw you performing magic when you came to my rescue and I believe with training you could become a fantastic mage.

I put in a good word for you to our guildmaster Jose Porla and explained your situation.

He wants to meet with you and converse on a few matters. I hope to see you there when I return and when I do..I hope to call you my friend and that you feel the same.

Kind regards

Your friend Totumaru.

Phantom lord. Sounds worth checking out…I must say although I hope totomaru didn't overestimate my abilities.

Making my way out of the clinic I had a bit of a hard time walking around, however thanks to the crutches and painkillers it was at least possible to walk without grimacing all the time.

Continuing down the road I spotted something large in the distance.

"You can't miss it" wasn't that what he said..oh well guess thats where im heading then.

The closer I got to the object the more impressive it became. Spires rose and I could see the outline of what could only be an awe-inspiring castle.

When I came within a few yards of the castle I could already hear the rowdy bunch inside.

I made my way to the entrance consisting of a lowered drawbridge leading to a large pair of wooden doors. And written in large purple letters above was the sign of the guild and "Phantom Lord".

"Oh bonjour mon petite mounsiur!"

I turned round and there before me stood a strange picture of a man.

His green hair stood straight like rockspoking out of his head, he was wearing a brown stylish overcoat with leather spikes (yes I know strange) sticking out from the neck-area along with this he had brown suit pants and a singular monocle on his left eye.

Most peculiar however was his lower body was currently being slowly raised out of the ground like a worm crawling out of the dirt. ….also his weird being around was making me a bit nauseous.

"Um hello….who are you?"

"I am muisuer Sol, and I was given un tasque from my guild master to bring you to his chambers…you are mouisuer totomaru friend oui?

The hell is he even saying …is that supposed to be English or something?

"Um yes I am totumarus friend I suppose"

"Excellence then lets be on our way"-he said forming a magic circle in both his hands

Earth magic:elevation!

"Hold on tight moisur"-He said as the ground started to rapidly rise up towards one of the castle's towers.

"Un so here we are"-Sol said, gesturing to me to go inside the open window we had arrived at.

"Thank you Mr Sol."-I said making my way inside albeit a tad slowly.

The inside of the room had a strange yet inviting decoration to it. The walls were painted blue and on one side there was a bit of artwork on the other was a seating area surrounding a large rectangular table. In the middle of the room there was a long red carpet leading to a throne just below a flag of phantom lord.

On that chair sat a person that looked like the very picture of a wizard.

The man was clad in a large purple coat accompanied by a purple hat he also was wearing white pants with a sleek red undershirt, he had dark brown hair with a L shaped moustache.

He was sitting slightly leaned forward on his large throne-like chair, hands interlaced as if to study a strange occurrence before him.

"Hello there young man, am I correct in assuming you are the one young totomaru told me to expect?"

"Yes I am ..sir?"

"Aa no need for that, I'm not all too strict with honorifics. if it makes you feel at ease please just call me Mr Porla or simply Jose"-He said waving his hand dismissively.

"Ok Mr Porla" -I said

"Good"-He smiled largely, taking a stand and starting to make his way over to me.

"Totumaru told me you don't have anyone to call family or a place to go home to. Is that true?"

"Yes it is, I don't remember my name, however I do remember basic things and I can even perform some magic!"-I said excitedly at the last part.

"Indeed you can. I was told as much by young totomaru"-he said rubbing his chin in thought.

"Do you want to spend more time with totomaru?"

"I do I really do I can't thank him enough, I practically owe my life to him"

"I see…then would I be correct in assuming you would like to join my guild?"-He said while kneeling down on one knee and looking me straight in my eyes.

"...I do …what do I need to do in order to join?"

"Quite simply really"-He stood up and pointed to the table on the side of the room

"Am I correct in remembering you can use gravity magic?"

"Kind of I can use it but my actual magic is more akin to magic stories and fairy tales real."

"Really now? A fascinating piece of magic. But how can you know that if your memories are gone?" - he looked at me a bit questioningly and I noticed that there was a faint shimmer of blue around us.

"Well I remember lots of things just not my name thats all, I know things but….it isn't like I was there to learn it does that make sense?"

"Sigh"

"At this point in my life I suppose another surprise is just that."-He shook his head in a act of incredulity

"But let's get back to the test, like I said, simply raise the table of the ground".

I know the spell….thats strange it just feels right like the words were always there…I swear whatever happened to me is so damn unscientific.

Fantasia- I said the outer layer of the circle forming around my outstretched hand. -Tale Sylphs Wind! The inner part of the circle formed granting the tale of the fairies wind unto the world.

FWHOOSH!

The table was instantly raised of the ground exploding into several pieces at the ceiling.

"I'M SO SORRY!" - I nearly screeched out.

Jose Slowly turned his head to me, the hat on his head giving him a shadowed look that only served to intensify my terror.

Until he looked down and smiled brightly at me.

"Hahaha no worries that table doesn't matter, but what you just did was some fine magic I must say!"

"You are more than welcome to join my guild and more importantly the entire phantom lord family"

"YES!"-I shouted out from pure happiness

"But there is one last issue-"

"What's that?"

"Well you are going to need a name right?"

"Come I have a few options from our library"-He said, gesturing me to follow him.
