Meeting Sophia

I woke up early today and dressed up nicely, since it is my 6th birthday today. I combed one side of my hair back and left the other side as it is. I left the room and left Ari to sleep a bit more since it was still early.

I went downstairs and I could see that my family except for Eliza woke up early this morning. I crept slowly towards my mother and tapped her on her shoulders.

"Honey! You woke up early today." She said, yelping a bit from shock and clenching her right hand on her chest to calm down her beating heart.

"Yes! It's my birthday isn't it?" Laughing a bit from my mom's shocked expression.

"How can I forget? We woke up early to prepare everything for the party." She sighed, releasing her hand from her chest.

My father walked towards me and wrapped his arm around my mother's waist.

"I will introduce you to the bodyguard that will help you in your adventures."

As he said that a tall figure walked towards me. It was a woman who looked like she was in her mid to late 20s. She is 1.7m tall and has a straight posture. She has a cold aura and a calm but ready stance- like she was ready to attack or protect someone at any given moment.

"August, let me introduce you to my close friend, Sophia." My father said, gesturing his hand to Sophia.

She bowed and looked back up, "I will be your guardian in your adventures, you can call me Soph for short."

"There is no need to bow, I hope that you will take great care of me, and please, you can call me Aug." By looking at her clothes she must be in the military too, she has 2 stars. So that must mean she is a Major General.

You might wonder how I know this and it's because I was a King, it is also because the ranks in this world are also the same as my old one, so nothing is different in terms of military ranks and all of that stuff.

"August, go wake Eliza up. We are almost ready for your party." My dad said while patting my back, pushing me a bit so I can go and tell her to wake up.

I ran up the stairs; heaving from running. I guess this body still needs some work. I went to Eliza's room and she was still sleeping. Do you know when you have siblings (If you have any that is) that would sleep in weird positions? Like you think "how they even sleep like" that kind of position? It's literally like Eliza right now. Her body is all swirled up like a snake. Looking at her reminds me of a rag doll that was tossed on the ground.

I stepped to the side of her bed and started tickling her.

"Hahahahaha, stop...stop!" She opened her eyes, she was so out of breath so I had to let her breathe a bit.

"Eliza, dad told us to get ready for the party." I pulled her out of bec and told her to get dressed.

My first task is done, now the hard part, Aria. Waking up Aria is like summoning a demon, she claws at you and bites you when you try to wake her up. With an addition of her winning in my mind, which truly sucks.

As expected, when I tried to wake up Ari, she attacked me.

"Ari! Stop! You already slept for too long!" I yelled while she scratched me on my face, by the time she calmed down I already had scratch marks all over me. Sometimes she hates waking up so much that she would dig her claws deep into my skin, and it leaves some small scars. It's like a cat's claws but worse, much sharper and much, much, much more longer.

We both went down and I could see that everyone was dressed up, and ready to go.

This Mansion has 3 separate floors. The top floor is our bedrooms and bathrooms, the second floor is the living room, kitchen, and dining room. The last floor is the entrance to a grand ballroom, and that is where the party will be held.

I was quite excited to go to the ballroom since my parents said it looks amazing. But they said it was a surprise, so I have to hold in my curiosity and wait in the living room. I used this time to train my elements, the hardest element to control now is darkness. Since both dark and light balances out and both makes shadow, I chose to focus on darkness for now.

Even Though both light and dark is balanced, the environment that you are in can affect how much dark/light power you can generate. For example, when you are in a dark environment with little light, it would be easier to use dark magic since there is barely any light, and the same goes for when you are in a space with a lot of light and little darkness.

Now I chose to focus on darkness because darkness is stronger then light. And I know that some will disagree and think light is more powerful, but no. This is because our universe is full of darkness and it is always expanding. Think outside our world, space is darkness, there is no light in space, but an unlimited amount of darkness.

Also adding in that all this matter which makes up this universe is only 5% , rest are dark energy and matter, or just empty black space.

There is much more evidence of darkness overpowering light, but just by these few facts, you can see that darkness is more overpowering.

But, saying this doesn't really matter since science in my other world is much more advanced than this one. The scientists in my other world have proven that both light and dark needs each other.

After practicing my dark magic for half an hour, I switched to space magic. I have been improving on space magic, which can give you a great advantage in a battle. Both dark/light and space magic is not popular due to its difficulty. But if you master them you would become someone very powerful, so powerful that you can only imagine how much destruction it can make.

It has taken the first king 15 years to master dark/light and space magic, he was the only one in our history known to master them. This makes the difficulty even worse since there aren't many records in our books about them since no one could control them properly.

If you can't control your magic properly and go on a rampage, the magic itself will engulf you. Some destroy their core permanently, while others die the overflow of power.

Anyways, I've been practicing magic for basically an hour until my parents said that I could go down into the grand ballroom.

I stepped near the doors that lead down to the 2 way staircase. I can hear people chattering and here glass clinking together.

I looked at my parents and they nodded at me, I slowly reached my hand out on the door handle and pushed the door open.
