The Tournament Of Magic And A Shocking Lineage Revealed.

(Arena)

The announcer shouts through the loudspeakers "Today, the battles will be fought one on one, the first battle is between Cail Lena, "the Empath" and Sigil Sire "The White Knight" and also welcome our special guests, the Idrias of shadows Rila, the Idrias of blood Zalga and the Idrias of light Siren", the three smile while Zalga and Rila turn to each other "This should be entertaining to "watch" the two laugh and observe the battle.

(Battle)

Cail sighs and the fight starts, Vigil and Gareth watch from the stands as Cail starts firing powerful purple blasts that Sigil struggles to block with his shield, he then dashed forward and blasts her with a white ball of energy, she deflects it and sends it back at him shocking Sigil and causing a sizeable explosion that knocks Sigil unconscious. The announcer speaks again "The winner is Cail Lena" the crowd cheer as do Vigil and Gareth, the announcer then makes another announcement "The next battle will begin in 10 minutes between Gareth Lorie "The BloodPoint and Allan Mire "The Fire Demon" Siren looks at Sigil who's being carried off, she thinks to herself "You must grow out of your shell and evolve young one".

(Changing Rooms)

Gareth changes into his battle gear then heads outside the room to speak to Vigil who has a blank look on his face, "Hey Vig, you all right" Vigil nods "Yeah, just thinking on some strategies" Gareth laughs "Yeah, we all know who your fighting" Vigil nods "Solaris... should be interesting" Gareth laughs and walks out to fight Allan.

(Battle, (Alan uses a orange symbol)

Gareth blocks a stream of fire from Allan and shoots a red mist that covers the arena, Allan try's to locate Gareth in it but is unsuccessful, Gareth then appears behind him "Blood Art: Fatal Impalement" Allan narrowly doges being hit with a super dense blood spear which explodes and shatters part of the arena wall, he then shoots a few fire balls at Gareth which he blocks before the two run at each other, Allan puts him fingers near his mouth then fires a massive stream of fire at him at point blank range, Gareth stands there and let's it hit him, Allan laughs and turns his back to celebrate only to be drowned in a massive tsunami of blood that fills the whole arena, shocking everyone and making Zalga laugh "That's one hell of a blood bath" Rila and Zalga laugh while Siren sighs, Zalga then looks at Gareth "Your mighty interesting mister Gareth~ he reminds me of Alistar". The announcer then speaks "Gareth Lorie is victorious, now the final battle you've all been waiting for between the two strongest and smartest students of Arala, Solaris Sire "The White Sorceress" vs Vigil Requiem "The Shadow Mancer" Rila and Siren glare at each other, Rila smiles "Let's see if your champion can beat mine Siren, wouldn't want a repeat of Chell versus Orion" Siren sighs "Yes, let's" Rila nods and turns to Zalga who has a wide smile "Ohh, this is going to be fun-" the two are interrupted when they hear two teachers arguing, they listen in on the conversation "This is troubling" the other teacher nods "Ya think, Vigil is a top grade student and always discovering new ways to beat opponents" the other teacher nods "Yeah, plus he's quiet good at making people drain their own power before even fighting so prepare to see a lot of clones" the two nod and look at the battle.

(Battle)

Vigil stares down Solaris who summons a set of white and gold Valkyrie armour which makes several of the male students nose bleed, Vigil sighs and conjures invisible shadow armour around himself before releasing the limiter on his symbol which glows darkly, the two then begin their fight, Solaris attempts to slash him with her short sword only for Vigil to avoid it by turning his body into shadows before reappearing behind her and blasting her into the wall, she shakes it off and goes to strike him again and manages to catch him cleanly, sending him into the wall with unbelievable force, Solaris smiles while Siren turns to Rila who has a angry look on her face, Solaris goes to leave when the arena turns black and white, she then hears chanting and shadow figures begin rushing her. She grins and brings her great-sword up "All Consuming Light" the light kills the creature but leaves her severely weakened, Vigil then appears behind her, she try's to dodge but he just covers his hand in shadow magic and puts his hand over her face "Eternal Night Blast" he fires a beam of white and black energy which breaks her Valkyrie armour and knocks her into the wall and unconscious, the announcer speaks up "And the winner and still top student champion Vigil Requiem". Rila smiles and laughs, as does Zalga while Siren looks at Vigil and notices the writing on his symbol, she then looks at Rila who's still celebrating "You have done something unforgivable" she teleports away, so do Rila and Zalga while Gareth and Cail celebrate with Vigil.

(Vigil's Home)

Vigil yawns and goes into his house, he finds a rectangle shaped in the doorway, he bends down and picks it up "Huh, I didn't order anything...did I" he sighs and goes into his kitchen and opens it to reveal a black and white, ornately designed short sword with a sheath that has shadow engravings all over it with writing reading "آپ کی کارکردگی نہایت عمدہ تھی ، اس بلیڈ کو اپنی جیت کے لئے میرے شکریہ ادا کرنے کے طور پر لیں۔", he pulls the blade and realises almost immediately that his symbol makes the blade channel black flames, also notices a letter that he also found in his door he opens it and his eyes widen.

(The Letter)

Hey baby, been a while since I last wrote to you but just so you know, I'm heading back today, see at school tomorrow in the usual place, sincerely your girlfriend Alir SairdI.

He closes the letter and sheathes the sword and takes it upstairs with him, he hears his phone go off and picks it up "What's up Gareth" Gareth breathes deeply "You might want to come down to the archives, found out something that explains why we have stigma in more detail" Vigil sighs "Fine" he grabs the sword and puts on his back before grabbing his jacket.

(Arala, Private Room In The Archives)

Vigil walks and finds Gareth and Cail sat at a table in the back corner of the archives, he sits down opposite them. "So what's this explanation" Gareth hands him the book which has the title "The Truth About The Fear Of The Blood And Shadow Symbols That The Council Won't Tell Anyone" Vigils eyes widen, he opens the book and finds a passage on the nine realm war "These are the original nine wielders of the marked symbols, the white holder Orion Sire, the violet holder Vail Lena, the blue holder Jack Marner, the green holder Sam Rand, the pink holder Jessica Shawl, the orange holder Max Inferno, the yellow holder Celina Faren and finally the two most infamous holders the red holder Alistar Lorie and the black holder Chell Requiem."

Vigil goes pale and his eyes go blank for a moment, Gareth breathes deeply "Yeah, we're the descendants of the two most hated mages in Arala, the only reason we have any respect at all is because of our top grades" Vigil doesn't respond for a few minutes "Where did you find this" Cail smiles "In the restricted wing" Vigil deadpans "Right... so what do we know about our... ancestors" Gareth smiles "Alistar Lorie, was a gifted but unstable blood Mage, nearly instituted for insanity and was considered a powerful threat during the war, your ancestor on the other hand doesn't have as much... readily available information, but what I do know is that she was able to predict the future family members she would have...even before they were born... flawlessly and gave something to Rila in exchange for being given the marked symbol-" the three hear a portal open behind and are swallowed by it (except Vigil who avoids the portal by fading into the ground).

(Halon Centre)

(Basically the train station to the other nine realms)

The three look around and see Sigil with a grin on his face "Finally, I will surpass you two" Gareth and Cail prepare to fight him, unaware they are being watched by four surprised Idriases.

(Halon Meeting Area)

Rila, Zalga, Siren and Celina watch on as Sigil fights against Gareth and Cail, Zalga growls "Just who does your white knight think he is Siren, picking a fight with two superior students" Siren sighs "He has been overcome by arrogance, it seems" Rila laughs "He fights against someone who beat him before that's very foolish" Celina nods "Indeed though he appears to be using Spirt Stones to boost he attack power" the other three look at her before noticing small crystals attached to Sigil's gauntlets, the four continue watching the fight unfold before them.

(Back to the fight)

Cail and Gareth avoid a blast only Sigil to fire a massive ball of white light at them, Cail gasps "We won't be able to block an attack of that size" Gareth nods "Agreed" just as the ball approaches them it is cut in half by a black line which also shatters Sigil's armour, the two friends look backward into the dust trail.

(Meeting Area)

The four goddesses look on as a figure walks ahead of the two and stop just ahead of Sigil who has a shocked look on his face "Just who do you think you are" the dust clears slowly to reveal Vigil with a blank look on his face, Sigil freezes in place while the four Godesses hear Gareth mutter "Sigil done fucked up now" Vigils sclera turns black and black flames begin to surround him "So you have chosen to continue with your antics... it seems that beating to a pulp wasn't enough, so I have to do it...again and this time your sister won't be here to save you!" Sigil roars and fires another ball at Vigil who just knocks it away, he then disappears and reappears behind Sigil and pulls back his fist "Phantom Blow" he punches him in the face before lifting him up and slamming him into the ground with enough force to shatter the ground beneath him. Before teleporting them all out of the dimension. The four goddesses has smiles except Siren who has a cautious look on her face, Rila thinks to herself "Impressive, Vigil you are proving yourself to be quiet capable~"

(Archives)

The four teleport back and dump Sigil on the couch before heading back to Vigil's house.

(Vigils Home)

The three head inside and sit on the couch while watching Demon Slayer, Gareth looks at Vigil who has a slight smile on his face "You're quite lively today, it's not like you, something up" he turns to Gareth "N-" the doorbell rings, Vigil gets up and answers it while Cail and Gareth think on why Vigils happy, a serine voice breaks the silence "I'm back" Gareth and Cail turn back to see Vigil walking back with "Alir! You're back" she nods and smiles "Yep, and I'm staying" the four friends laugh before Gareth and Cail leave while Alir and Vigil sit on the couch with Alir cuddling Vigil tightly while he blushes profusely.
