"In the beginning there was nothing...then the all driving force created the moon and the sun, both were enormous... but the moon was jealous of the sun, for it was smaller than the sun, both were fascinating and glowing, but the moon envied the sun, for it had a dim light while the sun was very bright;l, both were perfect and alive but the moon hated the sun and it's light.The moon plotted with darkness to kill the sun, thinking that if they killed the sun the only light that will fill heaven was the moon's light, and so the moon tricked the sun to go to the edge of nothingness, and so the sun followed the moon to the dark edge, for it was young and immature, there the sun was murdered, and the only light that remained was the moon's, but the moon's light was never enough to illuminate the world, and so darkness prevailed and filled existance, for it was actually tricking the moon to fill the universe with darkness, Suddenly a new sun came to existance! much brighter and much larger than it's predecessor, for the light of existance should always prevail, and so darkness faded right away and the moon was pushed into the edge of nothing to be punished for murdering it's old friend."
"This is the tale of the sun and the moon, some say it describes the daily cycle of the sun and the moon, and others think it describes the eternal fight between good and evil, but for you my little trickster this is a bedtime story" said Tanya as she gave her little daughter Tracy a kiss while smiling.
Tanya was sitting between her two little daughters Tracy and Heksi on their common big pink colored bed.
Heksi was fast asleep while Tracy was still awake as she was listening carefully to her favourite bedtime tale (not the first time though!).
"But what happened to the darkness mommy?" Said Tracy looking right into her mother's eyes with her bright purple eyes, you can obviously tell how curious and excited she is.
"It was never seen again, it probably went crying back to it's hole" said Tanya as she moved her brown hair tress away from her forehead.
"But if the darkness came back, will the sun be there to stop it again?" Asked Tracy.
"Of course, light will always prevail" answered Tanya with her perfect warm voice.
"Alright enough questions or you'll wake your brother and sister, sweet dreams little trickster."
"But moooomyyyy pleeease, am old enough to stay up until 9" cried Tracy while holding her mother's robe tightly as a last try.
"Sweet dreams honey, mommy has a busy day tomorrow." Replied Tanya while gently taking her daughter's arm and placing it on her quilt.
Tanya then slowly stood up and walked towards the kids room door, she closed the door gradually... as if she's trying to look at her kids as much as possible while leaving...it's looks like a one-sided quick farewell...
She then walked deliberately away from the entrance towards the next room while lowering her head...she's shaking and trying to conceal her sadness, bitting her lower lips in process.
"Am ready" she said.
A dark entity appeared surprisingly! And then surrounded her from all directions with dark like arms, but just before she got covered completely a little girl's scream broke the sinister silence was heard ,"MOOOOOMMYYY" ...it was Heksi!
Tanya then without giving it a second thought dashed towards her and hugged her while screaming and sobbing, Heksi was confused and scared she didn't do anything!!!
Casey and Tracey then woke up because of the screaming sounds and quickly ran into the room to see what's happening, but it was too late, the dark entity swallowed Tanya and Heksi in a flash!!!
Tracey was so surprised that she froze like a statue and couldn't say anything, Tanya's arm was still visible and it was getting soaked slowly in dakness, it looks as if her arm was trying to reach out to Tracy, Casey then quickly hugged his sister and they both pinned down, to protect her from the darkness that tried reaching Tracy.
Suddenly the dark entity disappeared and Tanya along with Heksi were gone... leaving Tracey and Casey in a terrified state, Tracey quickly dissolved into tears as she begun screaming and calling for her mother, but it was for nothing... her mother never answered.
Casey tried comforting her but she never stopped, her sobbing and screaming reached out to the neighbours as they ran towards the house to inspect the case...
Tracy never saw her mother after that night... she was 8 years old.
10 years later...
Voices, old faces, memories,a black shadow surrounding everything... all coming together at the same time, then a deep female voice says:" Don't let your blood be stolen"!!!

"AAAAAAHHHHHH" screamed Tracy as she woke up from her nightmare.
Heavy steps are heard from downstairs, suddenly Casey breaks into the room and jumps towards his sister.
"TRIXIE MY LITTLE CUSTARD PIE WHAT HAPPENED!????" yelled Casey.
Tracy extends her leg and quickly presses it on Casey's face to prevent him from reaching her while looking annoyed at him.
"It's nothing just a bad dream, gosh chill" she said.
"Ohh...you don't need me to hug you?" Said Casey
"NO" answered Tracy.
"Oh ok, as long as you're okay now we shouldn't worry about it...um soooo yeah I wanted to tell you that it's 7:50... so I guess you'll be late for the orientation" added Casey.
Tracy's eyes widened while turning her head slowly right to look at her green clock on her desk.
" 7 WHAAAATTTT, YOU AIR HEADDDD GOOD FOR NOTHINH HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME" shouted Tracy while she jumped away from her bed and started running in her room to prepare herself.
She then turns around to see her brother still inside her room, she then kicks him out of the room.
"GET OUT YOU IDIOT" while slamming the door.
Casey then stood up and smiles warmly and then walks slowly downstairs.
" dang oh dang ohhh daang" yelled Tracy while running towards the road outside the house.
Her brown bedhair is messed and she looks like shit.
"Hold it right there crazy head" said a guy as he held the neck of her shirt.
Tracy stopped and looked back to see a male with blue eyes and bright greyish hair standing while looking at her, she knows the guy pretty well, infact they've known each other for a long time that they got sick from each other, he's Jerome her childhood friend.
"JEROME!!!! you're still here!?" Asked Tracy.
"Of course I am, knowing you pretty well, you probably spent last night awake cuz you were too anxious and couldn't help sleeping... plus Casey is too soft on you so he probably won't wake you up". Answered Jerome.
"Yeah yeah whatever smart head, just take us there already you noble man". Said Tracy while holding Jerome from his back.
"Heads up" said Jerome, he then says " Thunder magic: Thunder skin".
His eyes start glowing and his body gets covered with bright blue sparks he suddenly dashes towards their destination.
They Finally reach their destination, "Main Muchra Magic Academy" hundreds of youngsters are gathered in the main grounds of the academy.
"C'mon lets go Trix" said Jerome as he held Tracy's hand and ran towards the front gate leading to the academy.
"You're late...ahh don't worry I won't ruin your year, please give me your files please" said the soldier at the entrance.
"Thanks good sire, I appreciate your help" said Jerome.
"Don't worry about it, my name is Finn by the way" said the young soldier as he smiled to the two.
The pair then walk inside through the huge iron gates towards the group of new recruits, Tracy then held Jerome's hand firmly, she's too frustrated.
The two then take a seat infront of the orientation stage waiting for the event to begin.
"Well well... if it isn't the lovey dovey pair" said Hector, he's brown haired guy with yellow eyes, he's average in height.
Tracey and Jerome look besides them to see 2 young males sitting next to them, they're their highschool colleagues Locus and Hector.
Locus is a hot head and usually excited guy, he has an auburn hair with red eyes and he's above average in height, he's in good terms with Trixie( he had a crush on her since his 1st year at highschool but couldn't confess to her) he also views Jerome (for obvious reasons) as a rival though he doesn't actually hate him.
"How fancy running into you guys in all this commotion" said Locus.
"OMG HEY GUYS, I can't believe you two actually got accepted too!!!" Said Tracy.
"True, especially you Loc... cuz you can be quite dumb sometimes..." said Jerome with a visible grin.
"Shuttup milky head before I pound your face " answered Locus.
"C'mon you guys, let's enjoy this moment to it's full" said Tracy.
Suddenly the anthem of muchra starts playing, all students stand up in respect to it.
The anthem's name is "May Light Shed On Us From The Heavens".
As the soundtrack ends gradually, a middle aged tall man appears from the backstage and walks slowly towards the newly graduated soldiers, he then stand at the orientation desk.
"Ahem, hello young ones and welcome aboard to our proud Academy, my name is Captain Sandlers and I will be your high advisor for the first year in this academy, our top goal is to graduate remarkable soldiers that would have great benefit to our nation and in the meantime to help withstand the demon invasion that began 8 years ago..." said the Captain.
"As you all know magic has been used by humans from ancient times,although it's still unclear to us when it first sparked; 80% of the population in the human realm possess the ability to manifest Magic, but only 40% of those have actual visible and beneficial mana usage, thus we the proud soldiers of Muchra must work together to protect the weak regardless whether they use mana or they're nil... they cannot use magic...
"Hey he was about to say nilch right?" Whispered Hector to the others.
"Shhhhh don't say this word dude you know it's an insult" answered Locus.
"HECTOR MIND YOUR MANNERS INFRONT OF JEROME" said Tracy.
"It's fine guys chill" said Jerome.
All the newbies began murmuring and whispering, the topic sparked their juicy talks and it's clearly a serious issue.
"SILENCE EVERYONE!!!!" Said the Captain.
"Anyway, it's a common knowledge that demons have been attacking our lands since years and we still dont know their objective, but they've taken alot of our lands since then... especially the enchantment sector has faced huge loses... henceforth it is our duty as soldiers of Muchra to work together to restore peace and glory to our nation and kick back the demons to return balance to the realm".said Captain Sandlers while raising his fist up towards the sky as far as he could.
Suddenly the soldiers began clapping for the Captain, his speech woke something inside them...it is the very reason they joined the academy and they decided to aid their nation into glory.
"You will be in our care for 3 years, we seek to create golden soldiers that will be an asset for the future of our world... and who knows? maybe one of you may become the future Grand Magician". Said Sandlers as he left his desk and the national anthem began again, th soldiers stood up and made the gesture of the army, placing the hands at the top of their heads.
"This it Jerome...this is where we begin to reach our dreams... " said Tracy as she looked with her sparkling purple eyes at the academy.
It is clearly going to be quite the ride for our young recruits... let us see what's in store for them....
Until we meet up next time.
