Personal Trainer

The sun shines brightly through the windows as Kiyoko sits up stretching. He pops his neck as his ear flinches. Kiyoko stands up and walks over to the window. Outside the window Frederic and Oji talk with a man Kiyoko hadn't met yet. Kiyoko rushes over and grabbing his robe and rushing outside.

Frederic turns to look at the castle as Kiyoko runs out.

"Oh… Morning Kiyoko!" Kiyoko looks up at the man. His glare that similar to the bandits. Kiyoko steps back a bit as his ears go down.

"I didn't know you guys were harboring a Demi human here?" Frederic steps in front of Kiyoko.

"He's like a brother to us… we wont let you hurt him…" The man tilts his head to glance at Kiyoko. His curly white hair and scar over his left eye.

"Let's test his Maho capabilities then… let's see if he can train with you or he's going to train individually-" The man takes out an Orb and holds it out.

"Before anything else happens… lets introduce you… Mr. Oka… This is Kiyoko… Kiyoko… this is Mr. Oka… a Personal Maho trainer sent directly by the court of appeals… The court said he should help us get stronger so we can help defend our country in the future" Mr. Oka smiles and stretches out his hand as Kiyoko waves from a distance. Mr. Oka shakes it off.

"You two have already done this… But Little Kiyoko hasn't… It's a magic Orb that tests one's Maho capacity and Potential… all you have to do is hold it" Frederic steps out of the way as Kiyoko takes the Orb. Oji leans against the wall as nothing happens. Kiyoko's eyes widen in amazement as he holds it. The Orb starts glowing brighter and brighter as even Frederic is shocked.

"What the… why is it so bright?" Frederic looks at the man who's also surprised.

"Now that shouldn't happen… Take it and throw it as hard as you can into the sky… HURRY!" Kiyoko gulps as it glows brighter. He quickly tosses it into the sky as there was a brief moment of silence. Suddenly a massive explosion erupts sending Kiyoko back hitting Frederic. The blast is strong enough to knock Frederic to the ground. The wind blew strong as shockwaves echo. The wind calms down as Kiyoko sits up. He turns around seeing Frederic laying motionless. Aristol then rushes out to the courtyard with some guards.

"Guards… Contain Mr. Oka in the Cellars until we can explain what's happening here!" Galliun rushes over and walking Mr. Oka away. Aristotle noticing a smirk on his face. Kiyoko's eyes widen as he feels for a pulse. He shakes Frederic's pulse less body as tears well up.

"Let me deal with this Kiyoko… thank you for the efforts though" Kiyoko steps back a bit as Oji walks over. Aristotle starts chest compressions on Frederic as Oji wraps his arm over Kiyoko's shoulder. Kiyoko looks up at Oji confused.

"I may not be fond of you just yet… but no mere 12 year old should have to see this" Oji takes Kiyoko by the shoulder and walks him to some guards. Oji then runs back out to the field almost loosing composure.

"Sir Kiyoko…? Are you okay!?" Kiyoko's heart races as tears well up. His breathing gets heavy. His head starting to hurt. His legs feeling soft like jelly as he falls to the ground. Kiyoko tries not to cry as his heart races.

"SIR KIYOKO!"

Kiyoko jolts awake in what seems to be the middle of the courtyard of the castle.

"Frederic… Prince Oji…?... King Aristol…? Galliun?" Kiyoko stands up and starts walking to the castle. As he walks the clouds create an overcast overhead. The walls of the castle seemingly growing thick brush and vines as parts of the castle crumble. Kiyoko pushes one of the doors open as it falls off his hinges. Suddenly a large part of the roof collapses as the dark sky shines through. Kiyoko's eyes widen as the castle seems in a state of abandonment.

"Where… is everyone?" Kiyoko pushes through the now seemingly abandoned castle as the rooms open up to the throne room. A large portion of the ceiling was collapsed on the floor. The once massive and beautiful glass window was now shattered. The three thrones that once sat in front of the window were now covered in purple flowers. Kiyoko's hair on his arms stand from goosebumps as a massive banner of the flag of the kingdom falls off landing on top of the thrones. Kiyoko's eyes widen as he turns around and running out the castle. Tears form in his eyes as echoes of screams and severe weather sound out. Kiyoko closes his eyes. Suddenly he falls off his bed onto the floor. Kiyoko was breathing heavy.

"A d-dream…??" Suddenly his bedroom door opens and Frederic stands there.

"Kiyoko!... Your awake!... are you okay…? Do you need help up??" Frederic walks over helping Kiyoko up to a standing position.

"I-im fine… it was just a bad dream…" Frederic sighs and sits Kiyoko down. He sits down beside him and sighs.

"Tell me what happened… ill listen…" Kiyoko looks at Frederic with wide eyes before rubbing his arm.

"W-well… the castle seemed abandoned and was even falling apart… When i made it to the throne room… A banner of the flag fell on the thrones… and… and-" Frederic hugs Kiyoko.

"You don't have to explain any more than that if you can't… now… Breakfast is ready… go see if food will help you cheer up." Kiyoko slowly nods and walks out of the room leaving Frederic thinking to himself.

"Im not sure if it's just me… but something big is about to happen… and someone's trying to warn us…" Frederic violently shakes his head and walks out of the room closing the door behind. Suddenly a large crack forms in the wall along the side of the window sill as a few plants grow a bit faster than normal.
