Kasawa Lanford:
Bachi - Curse

Story so far:

Kalshion and Katarina found themselves in a world where the magic was limited to just there spells and defensive postures, but when a ruthless enemy attacks a city that they had spent over 50 year's creating and running, the two twins decide it's about time to leave

However, something come's wrong with the escape and they are thrown into a world much more different than what either of them had expected


Sunlight filled Kalshion's vision as he laid there, something pelted his face, it felt like rain. Rain? Sun? he said to himself as he tried to open his eyes, but the pain that swept across his whole body pervented him from doing much of anything

As he laid there he could also feel a breeze, it was cool to the skin and shoothing as well thanks to the rain. He tried to speak to his sister, since the two had an ability to speak telepathetically, but having not heard a word from her he determined that the two had been thrown away from each other in the transfer

After a couple hours he was able to move his arms and legs, he pushed himself off the grassy nole and sat up, a tree was near by so he leaned up against it. He opened his eye's, it wasn't sunny anymore, had he fallen asleep? It was night time, but in the distence he could hear thunder and could also see some lightning. "Beinging under this tree won't help me much." he said, but then he noticed something odd, his height. He could've sworn he was 6 feet 7 inchs, but upon looking at himself he discovered he had someone gotten smaller, by estimate, he was now 4 feet 9 inchs. "Great...." he said and pushed himself upward even more

He thought for awhile and started chanting a spell; the spell allowed him and his sister to control there height, making it so they can appear as an old man, or as a 6 year old child. They mostly prefered, however, to appear between 15 and 19 year's old. After several minute's of chanting he discovered that he couldn't cast the spell. He looked toward a rock and outstreached his hand. "Hi Tama" he yelled, but nothing happened and he looked at the palm of his hand. "This just ISN'T my day." he laid his head back against the three. My magic is gone... I can't even cast a Hi Tama, which is the most simpliest spell to cast. a tear came down his cheek which he quickly rubbed away. "No time to cry now, I gotta find out where I am." he said and got up, it was then that he noticed another striking discovery. His clothing was torn in peices, his once majectic robe was now nothing more than a torn up peice of crud

He walked on the grassy plains for what seemed like hours before finally stopping to take a breather, it was raining hard right now and he could hear and, to some degree, feel the heat from the lightning around him. "At least I retained my ability to feel the climate and to survive intense heat and cold" he said as he laid back and spread himself across the grass. He soon fell asleep and had a dream

He looked around and saw his sister, she was clad in black and held a short weapon of sorts. He could see her fighting, from his stand point, for her life. He could see others like her, or rather, females also fighting. He saw someone from her side move in for an attack, and before the attack hit-

"SIS!" he yelled and sprang up from his sleep, he was still on the grassy plain but it was sunny out. The smell put his mind at ease and allowed him think of something else. "Where am I? I don't reconize this place at all, and we've been to several dimensions before." He got up and glanced about. Not a city in sight, in fact, he wondered if he had landed on a world with no life. But that made no sense, there teleport abilitys and dimensions shifting allowed them to traval only to worlds that where inhabited

He watched as the cloud's go by and felt the cool breeze, he was about to get up when his hand touched something; it felt like water, when he pulled it away he saw blood. Quickly, and frantically, he searched himself and soon found where it was coming from. "I must've injured myself without realizing it." he said and got up, clamping his hand on the lower left side of his chest. He looked around once more. "I gotta find some herbs or something, but this place is just a grassy expanse, nothing here except a few rocks."

After deciding on a direction, he started walking. He felt himself getting weak and tired, but shok off his disorientation and kept walking. A shimmer in the distence caught his attention, but with him lossing blood, he chucked it up as him being dilussional. After some time, he couldn't keep himself upstraight and fell forward, his right hand hit the ground and he breathed heavily, he falling onto the ground itself. His eye's stayed open briefly, he could see the image of his sister, his family, before falling asleep

Kasawa Lanford:
~Chapter 1~~New Life~
He could see her again, his sister; he also saw his son and daughter, his other kids; his family. Where am I? Is this hevan? Am I dead? he asked himself as he saw the image's before him. Sis? Is that you? he said as he saw his twin sister. She was looking around, as if lost in some forest now; he could see tall trees and bush's everywhere. He could also see something behind her; as he saw the image blend into her's he yelled

"SIS!" he shouted as he stood up, grabbing at nothing but air. He flexed his hand a few times but not before realizing that it was air he grabbing. "Huh?" he felt something soft, like a bed. He felt around a few more times before grabbing a pillow. "A bed? Pillow?" he said and opened his eyes and looked around. He was in a room, looked like a hospital room from how things where arranged, although he noticed a destinct lack of medical instruments that he would normally find in a hospital room

He glanced about and found a window. He got up and out of the bed, noticing right off the bat that he wore a white gown. He could see threw it slightly and noticed the bandage's over the left side of his chest. Someone found me and bangaded me up... but I don't understand... my specie's self heals, so why wasn't my wound already healed up? he asked himself as he walked over to the window. Again, the height of the window reminded him of how short he was thanks to his lose of magic. He pulled himself up and onto the window sill and looked out, he could see the grassy plains, along with a ridge of trees. It appeared to him that someone must've travaled far and wide to have found him. Because just from his point of view, it appeared where he was had been surrounded by trees

"Enjoying the view?" he heard a voice behind him and quickly turned his head. A female stood in the door way, she wore what appeared to him to be red robe, it was sorta nun like only without the hood. "How are you feeling?" she asked him as she walked over to the bed he had been sleeping in, and sat down

He looked at her for a moment. "I'm feeling ok, thanks. Who are you?"

She smiled. "My names Akita, I'm a doctor in this village." she bowed. "Whats your name?"

He was about to say it, but knew better than that. Both his sister and him always used another name, it was eaiser to hide there identitys. "Kastin." he said

"Where's your mother and father?" Akita asked

Kastin shook his head. "I don't know.... did I ever have one?" he said; truthfully he never had one, both him and his sister have been alive for over nine hundred years but in this case, he didn't have much choice since he didn't have any of his magic and thus, couldn't hope to survive without some sort of life line

She shook her head. "Poor thing." she said and got up off his bed and walked over to the window; she looked out and pointed. "What DO you remember?"

"Appearing in a grassy nole, I walked around for awhile before I passed out." Kastin said

She nodded. "A couple kids from the local academy found you passed out."

"Some.. kids? but... I don't remember ever seeing a building.. or tree's..." Kastin said

"The academy they came from is not to far from here. The kid's from that academy tend to practice there magic and sword fighting skills away from the Academy, to pervent any injury I guess." she shrugged.

She heard a knock on the door and walked over to it. She opened it slightly, then fully. He saw three kids standing there, they where slightly taller than him but what he noticed more so. Was that the two female's wore the same thing, the male wore something slightly different. He also saw that the male was carrying some clothing and had handed it to the doctor

The two females walked over to him. "How are you feeling?" they asked

Kastin blinked before getting down from the sill. "I'm feeling ok, thank you." he smiled slightly at the two females. "I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't of found me"

One of the females giggled slightly. "Are you able to leave?" she said and looked at the doctor

Akita placed her hands forward, and a keyboard appeared, as well as a view screen. This caught Kastin by surprise. Swords and Magic? Yet she was using technology that could only mean there race was high advanced, capible of crateing space craft even. He was tempted to ask, but felt he should keep his vast knowledge to himself just to be safe

After a couple minutes the view screen vanished. "He's ok, although I do suggest you take it easy. I don't know if you even understand, you did ruptur a blood vessel where that bandage is. I don't want you to rupture it again. You almost died back there and that was frightening as is." she said

Kastin nodded. "I'll be careful." he said

Akita smiled. "Then, put this on. It's better than that gown your wearing, and eaiser to move in." she handed him some clothing, the same clothing that the male kid had handed her

He walked over into what he figured to be a bathroom. He spread the uniform out, it was exactly the same as the one that male was wearing. "I wonder why there the same, I know she said that they came from an Academy of sorts" he shrugged and put it on. He liked the design very well, it wasn't a sailor type outfit as most of the uniforms he was used to wearing. It was sorta 17th century like, although the top part of the uniform was sailor like with the flap in the back and the underneaths coming down over his chest. He noticed though that the bottom part of the jacket extended just above his knees

The pants was a no brainer, they where black and the shoes he noticed where also normal. He put the uniform on and glanced into the mirror near by. He had to admite, he felt he looked better in this than in those other outfits he used to wear at the other schools

He walked out of the room, Akita glanced at him. "Now, how does it feel?"

He smiled sheepishly. "Umm.. pretty good actually."

She nodded. "Merlin, he doesn't seem to have any family, can you take him up to the Academy and ask your headmistress if she knows anyone who can take him in? Temporarily?"

Merlin, one of the two females, nodded. "I can ask her and see what she says." Merlin smiled and grabbed Kastins hand. "Come on! It'll be night fall soon, and they don't like us staying out after night."

Kastin nodded but before he could say anything Merlin ran toward the door, dragging him along. Oh well... guess I'll have to expect this type of treatment... maybe living a normal life isn't so bad after all, at least for awhile, until I can find my sister he smield at himself

Merlin, along with her friend, dragged Kastin into the forest; after sometime she stopped running and started walking. "This place lights up at night, wanna see?"

"Huh? But I thought you said the headmistress would get mad at us?" Kastin complained

Merlin shook her head. "She's get mad at me, since I'm the oldest of the group, and senior. Cause I'm suppose to know better, but I felt you should see it because you've never been here before." A smile appeared on her face, which caused Kastin to blush, for reasons he didn't know

They waited around for a couple minutes, before tiny dots of light began to appear in the forest; Kastin reconized them as being fire flys. "I don't know what they are.. but aren't they pretty?" Merlin said

Kastin nodded. He didn't feel like saying anything to her, he watched the fire flys fly around some. Merlin was trying to catch them but everytime she thought she had, they would fly away. "Darn it!" she said several times

He began to laugh at her, she fell down several times while trying to catch the flys. But as he did so he heard something in the forest. "Um... I think we better get going." Kastin said, Merlin's friend agree'd with him. She folded her arms at first, but after sometime agree'd with them

They ran back to town. The forest itself made it seem like it was nightfall, but in reality it was still light out. Several towns people waved and said "hello" to Merlin, it seemed she was well known. After a few more minutes they arrived at a building, it was a rather large building, spread across on both sides. It looked similer to Dyhokan Academy he built in that other dimension. "What is this place?"

"Kibou Academy or, Hope Academy. I don't really understand it since the adults used such tough words. But it's a school for those of us who live in this kingdom." Merlin said while trying to think up of a way to explain it

"I understand." Kastin said

"You do?" She looked puzzled. "I didn't expect you to because-"

"I look rather young?" Kastin smiled. "I remember much before I passed out, I just don't remember if i had a family or not"

Merlin smiled. "Come on" she said and both her and Kastin went inside. Her friends told her they'd be outside playing somewhere

They walked several flights of stairs before arriving on the top floor. Merlin knocked on the door. "Come in." Merlin opened the door and walked in. "Mistress Althena?"

A lady was standing near the window, the same window that was overlooking the entrance, so Kastin already figured she had seen him. "Senior Merlin, how are you?"

Merlin bowed curtiously, grabbing teh two ends of her skirt in the process. "I'm fine thank you, Dr. Akita asked me to bring Kastin." She glanced over at him. "Over her to talk to you"

Althena smiled. "I see. Well, I welcome you to Kibou Academy." She smiled

Kasawa Lanford:
Chapter 2New Life Abold
Althena walked around the room some; asking him questions every now and then. He'd been in her office for over two hours now. After some time she stopped. "So, you don't know where your family is?"

Kastin had been sitting in a chair near her desk, the question made him think for a little while longer. "No, I'm afraid." he was, however, worried. Althena had been probing very close

She walked back over to her desk, a keyboard and view screen appeared just above it. Curious his placed his hand in front of the screen, and it went through, he quickly pulled his hand back. "Odd...." he said; again he knew what technology was being used but he had to act like a kid in order to hide his true identity

Several more minutes passed before she nodded, a beam of blue light, segregated into 6 smaller beams, washed over him. He reconized the tiggling sensation, it was a magi scanner that he knew a lot about. "I see..." she began to type but soon stopped. "You've got potentional, but for some reason your powers are hidden." she said and continued typing

"Um... what are you going to do about me?" Kastin said in a worried tone

She smiled. "I'm going to ask the Hanbatsu family about taking you in." she said and looked over at him. "Merlin, the girl you came in with, is the youngest daughter of that family." she stopped typing after a few then glanced out the window. "Somethings you should be aware of about this Academy," she began, "we keep students here until close to night fall, then we send them home. You'll be class from early morning until the middle part of the afternoon. Once that's done you'll be able to move about the Academy freely. However, most students prefer to practice there swordsmen skills, or, like in Merlins case, there magi skills"

Althena got up and walked over to the window. "Since your Magi skills are apperently locked away," she said, "I'm going to place you in a swordsmenship beginners class"

He nodded. "What class will I be in?"

She looked to her left and small window appeared near her. "I'm placing you in the fifth grade, class A."

He snarled. I hate this small body, always have to place someone in a grade school level

"If Merlins family agree's with me, you won't have to worry much about getting here. Since Merlin is in the same class are you." Althena said; with that Kastin left

He ran down the hall and toward the stairs, before actually going down he watched Althena leave her office, he then went downstairs and exited the building. He found Merlin along with a few of her friends near a pond that was located some distence away from the Academy.

"I see your in my class now." Merlin smield

Kastin stared at her. "How'd you know?"

She pointed toward a tag on his left arm. "Our uniforms display our name and grade, along with class number." she said and laughed when Kastin lowered his head in embarrassment, Althena had just told him that to. He walked over to the pond, he noticed some steam rising from the surface. "Interesting." he said to himself, he felt it first before he actually knew what happened, and then landed in the pond. He was soaking wet and Merlin was laughing up a storm

"Got ya!" She said in between laughs

He sighed. "Now my uniforms all wet...." he said

Merlin shook her head. "No it's not."

He blinked and looked down at his uniform, she was right, it wasn't soaked. "I don't understand." This was one thing he didn't understand at all

"I don't know much either, exact that I was told that our uniforms where made so that they can't get wet, they are also don't get dirty either." she said and helped Kastin out of the water. "Our uniforms are also able to change, we don't need to take them off in order to change into something different." she gestured toward Kastins right ear, he felt around it and soon found an earring. "When did that get there?" he asked himself

She put her hand on her earring, and her uniform changed to a swimsuit, then to night clothing, and then into some reguler everyday clothing. "You change into the uniform whenever you get near the Academy, but away from the Academy you can change your clothing into anything you want. Like me, I prefer a skirt and shirt while away from the academy."

Kastin placed his hand on his earring, and after thinking of something, his clothing changed into a pair of boxer shorts and no shirt. Merlin, along with her friends, screamed. He blushed and quickly changed back into his Uniform, "SORRY!"

She laughed after finally settling down. "It'll take some getting use to. When you go to class tomorrow you'll be taught how to control that earring."

Kastin nodded and sat down on the edge of the pond. It was already night fall, and he could tell his uniform was glowing. "Why am I glowing?"

"It has something to do with our uniforms, it makes it so that if we get lost the people from the academy and village can find us." Merlin said, just as they where about to get up Althena, along with Merlins older sister showed up

"Big Sis!" Merlin shoutted. "What are you doing here?"

"Headmistress Althena wanted to speak to me" she said

Merlin was confused. "About what?"

"You tell her." Althena said

She cocked her head to one said. "Tell me what?"

"Kastin is now apart of our family." Her big sister said

Merlin stared at her for a second. "Really?!"

"Yep." her big sister said. Merlin jumped with joy then turned around and pounced on Kastin, taking them both into the water. Kastin had banged his head against a rock. "OW!" he yelled. "Sorry!" Merlin grabbed him and lifted his head. "Ow ow ow ow ow!" Kastin said; his head hurt from having it hit the rock. She felt the back of his head and found the bump, it wasn't reallying hear hand that discovered it, it was his sudden yelp that caused her to find it. "OW!"

Later that night

Kastin was in bed, he was in Merlins house now and noticed just how extravagent it looked. His uniform had changed into night clothing before he even thought about it. His night clothing was exactly the same as his academy uniform, only lighter in both weight and color, he soon fell asleep

He didn't dream at all, and soon he woke up; but it was really Merlin that woke him up. His door slammed up. "Lil Bro! Wake up!" she said. Kastin rolled in his bed, trying to ignore her. "BRO!" she yelled. "We'll be late for school, and I'm sure you don't want to keep our sensei waiting"

Kastin sighed and got up, he blinked a few times; boy was he tired. "It's so early....." he said; apperently time was something that this dimension didn't know anything of. But thanks to his left eye being slightly altered than his other, he could see what time it really was. "8:30...." he yawned once more and got up. He touched his earring and his night clothing changed into his uniform

He walked down the hall and into what he considred was the kitchen, but was slightly smaller than what he was used to. Merlin was there, her big sister was no where in sight. "Where's your parents?"

"They work in the big city, so I hardly ever get to see them." She looked sad to him and was about to drop the question when another game to him. "What about your big sister?"

"She takes care of me from time to time, but she's raised me so taht i can take care of myself, so she can stay away for awhile without me worrying. Although most of the adults in this village do come and help out." She smiled slightly at him

The two of them ate breakfest and soon left for the Academy. He was carrying his bag over his shoulder, "So... " he was to say something when it left his mind. The two of them walked down the village center

"Morning Merlin!" yelled a shop owner

"Morning!" Merlin yelled back

"Heading to school today?" Another shop owner asked

"Yep!" Merlin said

"Today?" Kastin pondered

"Whos that Merlin?" Someone from the local militia asked

She placed her shoulder around Kastin's neck, and hugged him. "He's my little brother, I'd like you meet Kastin." she smiled

"Ummm... Hello" Kastin said rather nervously

"Nice to meet you, if you need anything let me know." The Militia man said

"Will do." Kastin smiled sheepishly at him. "I wonder.. why does our Academy have grades when this village is so small?"

"Because, where the only Academy located within the kingdom, our Academy has a strange teleport pad that allows kids from other villages to attend. Our class is small, but thats because there are three other classrooms." Merlin said

The two of them walked by several other people. "This is a friendly village." He said

Merlin nodded. "Everyone here is friendly, even though they don't know you, they'll protect you if someone from the Eimin clan comes here."

"Eimin?" Kastin knew what the word meant. Death? he thought to himself. Must be a local bandit group of something

Two of them soon arrived at the Academy and walked in. Kastin and his sister made it to the classroom, which was on the fifth floor. The sensei there, also female, greeted him. "Althena told me we had a new student"

Kastin bowed. "Nice to meet you."

She bowed in response. Kastin walked in and saw several other students, including the male who he had greeted back at the doctors office. They heard a bell and the students took there seats. Kastin stepped over to the sensei's desk, after she had taken roll call she gestured to him, telling the rest of the class that they had a new story... class? There was only fifteen people here. "Please introduce yourself" The sensei

Kastin bowed curtisouly. "My name's Kastin Hanbatsu, I'm 11 year's old." he said. "It's nice to meet you," he smiled at everyone

Kasawa Lanford:
Chapter 3First day of school, first day of troubles

Kastin had taken a seat near a window, most of the students where curious about him. He wasn't tall after all and most figured him to be in a lower grade than the others, Merlin was easily a foot taller than him but he didn't care

He was expecting something a little lower to be taught in this class, something he had come to expect seeing how him and his sister already hide themselves within a school or academy. But what was being taught was something more pointed toward swordsmenship and magic

It wasn't long before class ended, the sensei had taught him how to use that earring a little better than Merlin had. As he was leaving the class room Merlin walked up behind him. "Shall we check the cafeteria?" she asked

Kastin nodded.

The two of them walked over to the cafeteria, others students where there either eating or getting something to eat. He glanced about the large room; it was larger than he thought, and as he expected, a lot of the students in there glanced at him. "I get the feeling I'm being watched...."

"Thats because they've never seen you here." Merlin smiled slightly, then patted him on the back. "Come on" she said

The two of them walked out of the building and into what appeared to be a court yard, no other students where there but some of the adults where. "What are we going to do here?"

"Just felt like coming out here, it's quieter." Merlin said and sat down under a tree. Kastin joined her and also sat down, slightly confused about her actions but deciding against saying anything. "So, how'd you like it?"

He blinked, then smiled. "It's.... different..." Kastin said as he placed both his arms around his legs, tucking them close to his chest. Its different alright.... wonder how a world like this can survive like this... both technology... but there housing and form of living is all 17th century

"You have swordsmenship basics right?" Merlin asked

He nodded.

"Well then, your class starts in awhile." Merlin got up and grabbed Kastin by the hand and helped him up. She couldn't show him where the class was, so instead, she told him

Kastin watched as Merlin ran off, possibly to her own Magi Class. He folded his arms, a slight smile appeared. "I would normally hold back." he said and began to make his way to class. As he expected it was outside, but what he wasn't expecting was for it to be out in the open. His uniform changed to something far lighter than his normal Academy uniform. He walked up to the sensei, bowing curtiously. He nodded and gave him a training sword

"I want to see how well you can wield that." He said

Kastin glanced at him. He didn't have the streangth he would normally have with his magic, so he took on an attack stance, which he could tell by the look on the senseis face that it wasn't a stance he was used to seeing. He lept forward, swung, then landed. For a couple seconds everyone wondered if he had even HIT it, but then the training dummy slide apart into four seperate peices.

"Not bad..." The sensei said. Kastin was about to hand the training blade back to him when it, too, broke into several peices. The sensei laughed, "I guess it wasn't tough enough for what you just put it through"

Kastin sighed, and then shrugged. "Guess not." he said and took a seat under a tree and watched the others train. It was obvious by how the sensei hadn't said anything to him that he somehow impressed him. Because the others he was training weren't doing so good, some had already cut themselves and others had let go of there training swords, which promptly flew into the training pads that lined the course

He got up and continued to watch, someone was indeed watching him and he could feel it. He turned around and looked toward the forest and began walking toward it. As he got closer he felt it, although he didn't have his magic he could still feel the presence of someone in there; he glanced about.

Someone is here.... Kastin said to himself as he looked around. He jumped over a fallen tree and stepped on a twig, he looked down in time to get his leg caught in a rope. Throwing himself up into the air and hanging there. As he hung there he took out a small knife he carried on him and cut the rope, hitting the ground hard enough to almost knock him out, after a couple minutes he got back up and looked around, putting the knife back in it's holder. Someone had to of set that up

He heard something else and peered through the tree's. Someone was chanting a spell, and he could reconize the lyrics from it. "How the heck does a spell like this get into this world?" he wondered several people where around the man chanting the spell. He sighed and clicked this earring, to his amazement his clothing wasn't the only thing that changed, but a sword appeared near him as well. It was real.

Kastin took the sword and brought it up. It's real alright, guess this earring has a mind of it's own. It seems to know when I need something. He sprang forward from his hiding spot, plunging his sword into the chest of one of the guards there. He jumped backwards, the sword still in his hand and even before the guard he had attacked hit the ground, he was already attacking the one near him. The sword moved, dislocated the other gaurds legs, sending him to the ground in intense pain

He turned around to meet the other four, but quickly brought his sword up when he saw what was coming. An Axe. He blocked the blow but couldn't keep his footing, Man how I wish I still had my magic... a blow like this would be nothing he went flying, and hit the front of a tree, the blow was enough to send the sword in his hand flying away from him. He laid there in pain and two of the guards walked toward him. "Stupid kid" one said

Both guard's raised there axe's. "Time to die.... pathetic worm."

Chapter 4Life Risk
Shougakusei - Grade School Student
Shimo Kago - Frozen Cage
Shimo Bakuyaku - Freeze Blast
Hi Tama - Fireball


"Hi Tama!"

Kastin covered his face, expecting to be hit by an axe or sword, but instead he felt a rush of heat and heard the pains from the two guards who had been in front of him. He opened his eye's to see a girl standing in front of him, his uniform glowed hot pink, and it was hot to the touch, it then cooled itself and turned back into it's normal color

"Stay down!" the girl yelled. He hands raised in the air and came up to her mouth. "Shimo Bakuyaku!" she yelled as ice spewed from her finger types and permeated the ground, turning it into a frozen bed. The last two guards tried to attack her but fell flat on there butts. "WITCH!" one of them yelled

Kastin was watching this and noticed a sudden twitch in the girls movements. "Witch?!" she snarled at the word and looked toward the guard that had said it. "Shimo Kago!" four pillers of ice appeared from the ground and encaged the guard. The guard made every attempt to move around, even as far as striking the ice with his sword. She grinned at him, throwing off her cape and then snapping her fingers. A scream of pain could be heard as the ice cage shattered into a thousand smaller peices. The other guard must've taken a hint, because by the time she had turned to engage him, he had already fled, leaving behind his sword and a distinct odor. "Pathetic..." the girl sighed in disgust and looked at the sorceror who was still standing

"Who are you?" the Sorceror readied a fireball, but the spell was canceled out by the girls own magic power. The man kept himself right back into a tree, cornered now he looked around, trying to figure out which way to go. She knelt against him, her face level with his. "Attacking a child, how pathetic...." she said to him. "Now... go...." she waved her hand and the tree, along with the sorceror, where blown away by some powerful wind spell

She stopped and looked back at Kastin, a pool of blood next his left side told her he was not ok. "Lets get you back to town." she said and placed her arm under his shoulder and lifted him up, he mumbled something incorherent before passing out. "How can this kid survive with so much blood loss.... I found this same pool a couple miles from here." she walked a few before putting Kastin down and taking out a compact datapad. She ran it over his body

She nodded at what the pad said. "I was told he went missing a year ago... but damn... talk about being thrown into a bad world." She sighed and picked him back up. "His body would reject my healing nano's, so I guess I'll have to relie on this worlds medical technology, which is quite advanced really."

It took her about an hour to get back to the village, telling by the constant. "Kastin!" she heard it was no doubt in her mind that her commander, Kalshion, had already made contact with these people, a violation of the INF Protocal that he had helped established

She walked over to the edge of the village. "Is there a doctor here?!" she yelled, Merlin ran over to her and looked at her brother, also noticing that her chest wound had burst open once more. "Follow me." she said in a haste and lead the girl to Dr. Akita's clinic

"Akita!" Merlin yelled. The doctor walked own the hallway, he was about to ask why she had yelled when he saw Kastin, and the open wound. "Bring him over here." the doctor said as the girl brought Kastin over to a bed. Several hour's would pass, the girl was leaning up against the wall, her hands clasped behind her back and her head was kinda low

"Who are you?" Merlin asked. The girl looked at Merlin she brought her hands up to wipe something off her mouth when she noticed just how blooded her hands really where. "My names Rika, Rika Muzo" she said as she took a wet cloth and wiped the blood off her hands.

"Rika? Your one of the Magi Guards from the castle." Merlin said

Rika smiled. "That I am, so you've heard of us."

"Only that you possess immense magical powers." Merlin had that glee in her eyes, which made Rika smile slightly. A young girl with a dream, I wonder if I can help her obtain it. she smiled at herself then looked toward the room. "How long have you known Kastin?"

"hmm... a couple days now?" She was slightly confused

"I see he's a shougakusei. " Rika said, she noticed instantly that the word confused. "Grade School Student"

"Ah...." Merlin looked away from Rika and folded her arms. "Is that bad?"

He's 900 something years old, he has more knowledge than everyone here put together, was something she wanted to say, but couldn't in fear of exposing his true identity. "No, it's not bad. Just odd, because where he come's from he was home taught and knows more than your average grade schooler." she folded her arms

Merlin walked around her. "Hmmm... your my height...."

"I'm also the same age..." Rika said with a smile. "But, unlike you, I'm not in school. I was raised at the castle and, well as you can see, I'm a Magi now"

She sulked onto the ground. "I wanna be that....." Merlin poutted. Rika knelt down and patted her on the shoulder. "It takes practice, even I'm still learning." she comforted the young girl before hearing the doors open. An hour had already passed and she didn't realize it. "How is he doc?" Rika asked

The doctor sighed. "I feared that would happen. His chest wound is infected now." The doctor rubbed his chin. "I bandaged the wound back up but unless he visits a Magi Doctor back in the main city, he will die."

Merlin grabbed the doctor. "You can't do anything?!"

"I'm not a Magi, my herbs and medicins aren't working. I can only suggest that a Magi can help him." The doctor said to Merlin

"I will take him tomorrow at first light." Rika said. "How long do you suppose he has?"

"A couple days?" The doctor guessed. "maybe longer if he doesn't do anything extensive."

Rika nodded. "The citys a good two or three days from here."

"Why not just use the teleport pads back at the Academy?" Merlin said with a glee in her voice

She shook her head. "The doctor already knows why we can't use the teleporters." she said. The doctor nodded. "the wound will travel faster if he does that."

Merlin sighed. "I see.... well......." she began to say but couldn't figure out what to say exactly. Rika walked over to her. "I think you better get some sleep, don't worry about your brother, I'll take care of him ok?" she smiled at Merlin, Merlin smiled back at her, reasured. Merlin opened the door and then looked back, "take good care of him... please..." she said and then left

Rika walked into the room where Kastin was in. She sat in the chair, "I hope you don't mind doctor"

He shook his head."I don't mind at all, just becareful out there. By the way, WHAT happened?" he asked her. Rika sighed and looked out the window. "He ran across a group of bandits, apperently they didn't take to lightly to him attacking and killing two of them." She said

"He killed two bandits? How?" The doctor was curious

"He had a sword with him, but the guards over powered him and almost got him; but I intervened and.. well.. here we are." Rika said to the doctor. "I guess that explains why his wound reopened, it seemed the stitchs I put in got stressed to there limit, almost like he-" the doctor said."-hit a tree so hard to almost knock you out?" she finished the sentence for him

She slept in that chair for the rest of the night, by the time first light hit her eyes she was already up. She looked on the bed and noticed that Kastin was still asleep. She walked around the bed and into the living room of that Clinic. The doctor was asleep as well. After a few more minutes Kastin was awake and well, well, except for the bit of pain he was feeling from his infected wound. "Rika-chan." Kastin said with a smile. "What are you doing here?"

"Your sister got ahold of me, Katarina, and told me you didn't appear with her and the others." Rika said. "So I went searching and found you here, although you seem to have sealed away your powers." she sighed

He looked away from her. "I don't know why, it might have something to do with me over using them when we where teleporting out of that one world. But I don't know...." Kastin said as he hoped down from the bed when he landed on the ground he almost fell over, Rika caught him in time. "Becareful, you don't haev your magic so your prone to simple injurys."

Kastin snarled. "I know.... already feeling it." he waved her hand away. "So, what are you doing here?"

"The doctor asked me to take you to the Magi Doctors back in the city, perhaps they can help you." She said to him. "I see...." Kastin said and opened the door. "Lets get going then"

"Kastin, that body of yours is still that of a child. So I suggest you take it easy." Rika said. He nodded, "I'll remember that." he said. With that the two left the clinic, there destination: The Holy City of Cora
