"You won't forget right."

"This isn't goodbye forever, this is just goodbye for now."

....

"This is the end. "

"Mr. Chosen One."

Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz

The boy awakens.

"Uh that dream again"

His hands are sweaty, his heart beating outta his chest, and he puts his palm over his head trying to recollect that dream.

Light pierces through the window landing a direct beam on 17-year-old Everett C Sage.

"Dang I overslept again. I should've come home earlier last night."

He sits up and gets dressed for school. He stares in the mirror and slick black wavy hair. Brown eyes with a beauty mark under his eyes with a Normal skin complexion.

Everett gets changed into a navy blue school uniform with hints of white and silver throughout. With a diamond-shaped compass- crest on the left side of the button-down shirt. It reads Diamond Saint Academy.

"Thank god we can wear shorts it's hot as hell right now. Shouts out to the DOE (Department of Education) for making this new summer uniform."

The windows open as it is a lively city where familiars and spirits are involved within the society. This a society where mage craft is used and mages live. Some are good and some are bad. The island is called Seafoam Island it's a tropical island that has palm trees and coconuts. Beaches beautiful scenery palm trees swaying. The main city on this island is Zaridge where everything is located. An industrial look with buildings, houses, and a landmark clock tower as well. With a port that houses many ships. Seafoam is the home of The Temple in the Valley another landmark it's a temple that oversees all of the islands with a beautiful view. The humidity and moisture always these islands are always sunny, and humid, with a couple of tropical showers throughout the year. Seafoam Island is one of 4 islands in this island chain. Seafoam, Twin Star, Stardium, and the Emerald Isle. Each island houses one of the four Academies Diamond Saint, Ace Saint, Spade Saint, and Jack Saint. These islands are located in the Pacific Ocean. These islands are also home to the three Royal Families The Alexandrias, Dia, and Emerarldo family. The islands are said to believe to have sacred treasures on the islands somewhere. The Crystal of Life, The Spear of Death, and the Orb of Destiny. Legend has said that it can bring forth a new reality.

The smell of cooked sausage, eggs, and rice fills the air.

"Dang breakfasts is smelling good ma"

"Thank you, Everett." Mrs. Sage Everetts's mom with long black wavy hair. She is much short than he is as Everett can see over her head.

"This pandemic of people getting sick is getting worse and worse. Again another dozen of people are getting infected by this disease. These incidents seem to be connected to the stolen bodies at the morgue. The collection of dead bodies usually leads to reanimated corpses. One guild that comes to mind is the Order of the 7. A group of dark mages that uses dark magic and other crafts. " the news broadcaster says on the tv playing in the background.

"Wow that group has been making their names on the airway, huh, stealing dead bodies from the morgue is something," says a worried Mrs Sage.

The Order of the 7 is like a cult group that has been robbing, stealing, and causing a bit of a ruckus. On the island of Seafoam. These past few months they've been appearing more and more. There's no word on their leader or how many members there are. Their goal is unclear but their name suggests the revival of the 7 demon lords. There was this one incident where a dark mage by the name of Zellion Feltdor tried to revive them 10 years ago but failed. Since then a Magic Association has been born from preventing this from happening again.

"You should be careful about where you go, baby. This sounds very similar to what happened 10 years ago and your father."

The two look sad.

"10 years already huh pops." Everett stares at a picture of his father on the tabletop.

"Yeah, I know I ain't no chump am a 3-time wrestling state champ no one can touch me." says a confident Everett.

"Unless someone throws a fireball or any spell at you."

"You're right."

"Well if you got Marx with you he's a pretty good mage."

"Look baby I know you don't have strong mage skills besides decent healing I know some way you'll find your way. No matter how you decide to do it. I'll always support you. Plus without you, your Marx wouldn't be here today. After 17 years am proud to say I've raised a fine young man. Your father would be happy to see how his boy has grown."

"Alright am heading out ma"

"It's not every day that you get to go on a field trip on your first week of class."

"It should be fun as your going to learn about the events that happen at th-"

"Temple 10 years ago I know. You told me that about 5 times already Mom."

"Well make it 6 times."

"Ugh alright 6, see ya later Mom."

Everett's pace quickens as he attempts to make it to school on time.

"Dang Dang it although I live so close these stupid intersections take a while to cross over."

Everett jogging in place. (He lives 5 minutes away within walking distance but wakes up late and has to wait long at a crosswalk).

Everett passes by a group of people. "Imma get that kid for what he did. This phone is brand new."

Everett's pace quickens"Uh Oh sounds like trouble better get a move on."

"Alright am almost there at the entrance I can see those gold gates."

BEEEEEEEEP

"What the F--- you almost ran me over."

The white limousine door pulls open. A girl with our school uniform above the knee-high white skirt, white thigh-high socks, blue jacket, and silver bowtie.

"Oh didn't see you there non mage." The Princess of the school Alice Alexandria." Blonde and red eyes shimmer in the morning light. She is always seen wearing an alexandrite stone necklace. With an ok chest area.

Alice exits her vehicle with a male figure following her close like some kinda bodyguard.

"You better get to class before your late haha."

"Wow not even a sorry."

Diamond Saint Academy is a school for mages. It is a three-story building with each of the three floors representing a year. It goes from class 1 2 3. 1 being the highest while 3 being the lowest. With each semester a student can be promoted to a class via doing an outstanding accomplishment or reaching Magic Rank A.

Huffing and puffing as his legs almost gave out. The bell rings. Everett making it into class.

"Mr. Sage made it just on time. It's time to learn some IN 4 mation on today's trip" says, Mr.Kaneda.

Mr.Kaneda is Everett's homeroom teacher he's pretty chill and isn't very strict at all. He looks very young in shape with muscles and a very good physique and surprised he's even a teacher. He has black hair with light blue eyes. He has a stylish style and always follows the latest fashion trends. Today he's wearing a short sleeve button-up shirt with a white shirt inside, some chino pants, and some white Nike Air Force.

Aeon saint mage Pacific Magic Assocation Rank 10.

"I swear this dude can be mistaken for a student," Everett thinks to himself.

"Woah Master Sage is nearly late again. This is just the first week of class. "A tall dark-skinned boy jokes with an afro hair. With yellow eyes.

The two walk over to their desks in the back of the class by the window.

"Well, Marx my guy I almost got run over so a good way to start the morning."

"You said you almost can run over too? By who?

"Who do you think? Whos the only person that gets dropped off? And gets a personal assistant."

"Ahh Alice gotcha."

"Alice said that am a no mage too."

"Thats cap man you have good healing magic," Marx says,

"Like the time that dog bite me and you fended it off or those times where you stood up to those bullies and healed my wounds. Let's not forget when you revived me from near death when I got too close from the aftermath of the temple incident."

"Dont put yourself down like that man it takes a lot of courage to do those things your a good-hearted guy."

"Thank you for those kind words, Marx."

"Dont mention it brotha."

"Also please dont go calling me that although am a three-time state champ that dont mean anything if I fight a mage."

"There you go again, man. You got yourself got a powerful thunder mage like me we're good," said Marx with confidence.

"Yeah Sure."

The two are now seated. Whispering with Marx turned around and Everett facing forward.

"But listen Marx I had that weird dream again," said a concerned Everett. It talks about 7 and something with the sickness.

"Ev that's like the 8th time this month bro isn't it kinda weird that it's ironically in the 7th month of the year you had 7? Not only that man it happened last month 6 times cause it was June then before that 5 in May then-"

"Can you two please be quiet, am trying to listen to Mr. Kaneda's instruction on this excursion we have." Words that are coming from the student council president June Juniper.

The class pres rocking her signature bob-cut white hair with green eyes.

"Woah am sorry for being to be so loud prez." Marx apologized.

"This is a special area as we recall and visit that event that happened a couple of years ago. Yeah, this is a place I safeguarded and protected from the forces of evil. " Mr. Kaneda says.

"Agh" Everett in discomfort.

"You okay Ev?" Marx asked.

"Are you alright" June showed concern.

"All good Marx just a little light headed"

"Do you need to go to the health room?"

"We will also be joined by class 2-1." Mr.Kaneda spoke.

"Now I would like to have everyone's attention to the front here and let's go over more rules from our class rep Chonsee Truesdale Chonsee Chonsee." Mr.Kaneda tries to get a Chonsee chant he falls miserably.

The class rep has brown hair with clear glasses that aren't too overbearing.

"Class rep more like class pet" A student mummers to another.

Both Marx and Everett overhear that.

"Aye he's doing his best man and someone had to do it. He's also putting his effort into it." Marx says to Everett.

"Yeah you said it Marx, he's a good guy he's good in sports, good in studies but-"

"THANK YOU MR KANEDA FOR THAT CHANT. OK EVERYONE LETS PAIR UPS IN GROUPS OF 3 FOR THIS EXCURSION SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW. I WANT EVERYONE TO COME UP HERE WITH THEIR GROUPS."

"That's one of the things about Chonsee he's very very enthusiastic and energetic about everything. He kinda goes overboard. " As both Marx and Everette cringe at one another".

"We already got 2 right here man," Everett says to Marx

"Yes sir. Now to find a third"

"Am sorry boys but Mr.Kaneda has spoken to me and he said that I have to monitor you two."

"Eh," both disappointed.

"Can there be groups of 2? Cant because our class has 18 people in so groups of there is idle here"June says.

"Why would teach want us to monitor us," Marx asked.

"Because you well know in the community and word travels fast since this is a small island fast. You two hang out late at night past curfew times, you both come to school late almost every other day. and you guys get into fights. "

"Oh, Okay I guess that's a good reason".

In a room with darkness, a single blue flame in the center lights up the room. 7 hooded figures appear to gather in the room.

"Are the preparations ready" one hooded figure asked.

"Yes, they are."

"I'll bring three of us to the temple. The rest of you foresee the other islands and see what transpires there."

"Yes sir."

"Wouldn't it be better if four went instead of three I have a plan." One female figure asked.

"Alright, that is fine."

"We head out tomorrow this imperfect world shall start a new." The lead hooded man says.
