[Location: Focalor, Focalors Plateau]
[2:17 PM, May 23, 134710, AP]
On the huge plateau, you could see a young man resting under a tree filled with vines. His eyes are closed as the winds pass by his body. As a young woman looked at the young man who was resting under the tree, she grinned mischievously and threw something in the air. It was water splashing on the young man, forcibly waking him up.
"Wake up!! It's time for the festival to begin, Vernon, so get up and get ready. Everyone is waiting for your performance, so you better prepare yourself. There will be lots of people wanting to watch your show, especially after what you did last time. They seemed to have wanted to see it again" the young woman said to Vernon, who was wet because of the water that the woman just splashed into him, but the once-wet clothes suddenly dried up as Vernon waved his hand as he stood in the place and looked at the young woman tiredly as he just woke up from the sudden wake-up call of the young woman in front of him.
"Sigh, do I really need to do it again? I mean, I've done it already last year" Vernon asked the young woman while looking at her. He had already finished that show, but now he is forced to retry it again at this festival. Hearing this, the young woman looked at him as she crossed her arms and spoke.
"It's your problem. The kids like it, and they want to see it again, especially at this festival. They have been waiting, so you better hurry up because I'll be helping the village organize the festival" the young woman said as she left to help the festival, leaving Vernon to get himself ready as he slapped his face to wake himself up, looked at the horizon, and shouted as loud as he could to cheer himself up.
"Okay!! Let's do this!!" Vernon shouted with a huge smile as his tired face changed into an energized one. As echoes of his shout could be heard in the plateau, everyone in the plateau looked in his direction, noticing this Vernon hiding behind the tree so they would not know that it's actually him who shouted. As the people within the plateau looked away, Vernon got out of the tree and started going to his house to change his clothes, similar to those of a magician.
As he finished wearing his Magician costume, he looked in the mirror and saw a black-haired young man with blue eyes wearing a black tuxedo, black cape, and black top hat, with accessories like a star-shaped hair pin in his hair and magical and mystical symbols in his whole clothing. As he finished looking at it, he smiled and nodded as he got out of the house, ready to show his magic tricks to everyone.

"Ahh, big brother Vernon! Can you show me your magic?" A little girl asked Vernon with her eyes shining as if anticipating Vernon to show magic as he got out of the house. Hearing this, Vernon looked at the little girl and smiled.
"No, I can't do it yet, but when the festival starts, I will show you and everyone in the village a great magic show, little Nepheria" Vernon said as he looked at Nepheria, who seemed to be saddened by this but was still greatly anticipating it when the festival starts.
"Eh~, you promise, okay, you'll create a great magic show, okay promise" Nepheria said, saddened that she could not see the magic that Vernon will always show but still greatly anticipating all of his magic tricks he will do. Seeing this, Vernon smiled as he showed her a card that appeared from nowhere with the words 'promise' written on it.
"Of course, it's a promise. Big brother will show you the grandest magic show that I could" Vernon said, promising to Nepheria to create the grandest magic that he could show him. Hearing this makes Nepheria jump with joy because Vernon is going to be doing his grandest magic of all.
"Yay!" Nepheria shouted in joy as she jumped as Vernon agreed to her that he would show the greatest and grandest magic show that he could. Seeing this also made Vernon smile, seeing his own little sister happy. All of a sudden, a bell could be heard, which means the festival is going to start. Hearing this, Vernon brings Nepheria to his shoulder as they both go to the festival.
"The bell is ringing, brother. Hurry up, the festival is starting" Nepheria said in the shoulder of Vernon. As Vernon just smiled, he hastened his footsteps to reach the festival. As they reached the festival, it was full of people, so they passed through the crowd to reach the place where the performers would be. There, the young woman is waiting for them.
"Big sister Nathalia" Nepheria said as she jumped down from Vernon's shoulder and hugged Nathalia, who smiled at her and also hugged her. Vernon looked at this with a smile as the bell rang again, signifying that the festival had finally started.
"The bell has rung, then I'll go to the platforms. Nathalia and Nepheria, make sure to watch okay because my magic sow will be the most memorable in the whole history of our village" Vernon said as he started climbing up his own stage. Both Nathalia and Nepheria heard this and both smiled and waved at him.
"Good luck, brother! Make sure to win, okay!" Nathalia said to raise Vernon's morale on the stage as well to make sure that he must win.
"Brother, you make the grandest magic, okay!" Nepheria said, as she still believes Vernon's magic will be grand and beautiful, just like he promised.
"Of course I will make sure I win this festival" Vernon said to both his sister and himself as he readies himself to create the grandest magic he has ever done in his entire life.
