• He raised his head from the papers that were sprawled all over the dark mahogany desk. He stood briskly from the cozy armchair behind the desk. He walked over to the large window, it was outlined with gold accents. He looked out with his wise green eyes. His face was beginning to show his age. He was slower and more feeble than before. He sighs and looks out over his kingdom. The wind gently blowing back his gray hair. The door of his study slammed open and dozens of armed men ran in. King David's eyes opened wide as his arms were seized.

    “What is the meaning of this!?” He demanded, his usually calm green eyes now piercing.

    One of the guards looked at him, his face was grotesquely distorted. It looked very rough as if the sun had taken its toll. It looked like rough brown leather. His eyes were a black coal, not a single emotion shone through.

    He had several battle scars running through, one started from his left eye down to the right side of his chin. His hair was brown and ragged. He wore armor and the Kingdom of Argon's crest on it.

    “You are being taken to court, King.” He spat as if the very word was venom.

    King David frowns, “I have done nothing wrong!”

    The guards laugh, “You are being charged of abuse of power...”

    King David growls, trying to wrestle away; but they had a tight hold on him.

    “What about my children!?” He yelled.

    The guards smirk, “Oh, don't worry...we will take good care of them..”

    They drag him off to the courthouse, where little did the King know that his doom would await him.

    Yumi sat upon her bed, playing with her twin brother. She giggled softly. They both were rather exotic looking. Yumi had long black hair which was braided, it reached her lower back. She had strange but beautiful silver blue eyes that were somewhat almond shaped, seeing their mother was from Japan. Her skin was a pale white, like of those you only thought a doll would have. It seemed like it was impossible for it to age. Her features seemed perfect for a 7 year old young girl. Her brother, Jui, had brown hair that was straight, some went over his right eye. He pushed it away. His eyes were a sharp leaf green, just like of his fathers, though they were also a bit more exotic looking. His skin was somewhat tan but had a glow. He also seemed like he would never age. They played with one another, inseparable after their mothers passing.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Lightning ripped through the sky, striking the courthouse. Jui and Yumi ran out, hand in hand, escaping from the castle which was being taken over.

    Fire ripped through the courthouse like a disease; instantly killing anyone in its path. Jui stood upon the hill with Yumi, holding her tightly as they were both drenched by the heavy downpour. Yumi clung to her older brother crying softly. Jui stood there silently.

    “Let's go..” He whispered.

    Jui led her through the woods as guards were given orders to find and capture them. Jui frowns, hearing the distant barking of dogs get closer and closer with each passing second. He felt his heart skip a beat, he worried of their safety. He took out a locket from his dirty beige trousers.
    “Here...”

    Yumi blinks and takes the silver locket from his hand. She turned it over lightly, in the back was the family crest. She opened it and there was a picture of the whole family and a small poem in Kanji. It read:

    ライフゴーズオンのように来るとサクラの花逝去の報
    しかし、風はささやくような声で耳にして
    人生はではなく、ゲーム、再生することが生き延びる権利と
    空想が現実だけをカバー
    心臓は、あなたの夢の鍵を握る
    従うこと
    (life goes on like the coming and passing of sakura blossoms
    The wind is but a whisper in your ear
    Life is but a game, play it right and you will survive
    Fantasies are just a cover of realities
    The heart is the key to your dreams
    Follow it)

    Yumi's eyes wattered and she looked up at her brother.

    Jui frowns and pushes her, “Run!”

    Yumi frowns, “Come with me!”

    Jui frowns, “I'll catch up..go.”

    Yumi nods and runs as fast as her little legs would let her, trying not to stumble over her frilly white dress.

    Jui turned and began to ran when Yumi was out of sight; but it was too late. A dog snarled and pounced on him. His green eyes widened and he let out a scream. The dog bit into his arm, drawing blood. Jui screamed out in pain, tears slipping down his cheeks. He grasped desperately at the ground.
