“Several years ago, during what we now refer to as the Dark Age, the dark emperor Neutro, stumbled upon the lost artifact known as the Armageddon. Having grown arrogant and blinded by greed, he decided he wanted to ‘transcend’ God by using the Armageddon to create a universal distortion which would cause the survivors to transcend into a higher level of power albeit at expense of so many lives and with a very low chance of success. He believed he would be one of the survivors so he teamed up with the Demon Emperor, Belzene thereby making him a very formidable threat. However, a group of valiant warriors rose up against him and his allies. During that era, an all-out war broke between kingdoms causing much instability. However, the group led by Phoenix Falcon, was able to stop Neutro, the demon emperor Belzene and their team. Belzene was sealed away from existence by Phoenix, the portals through which the demon beings used in entering the human world were closed and the lost artifact was once again lost. The Dark Age seemed to be over though for a time, war between kingdoms still persisted. However, in all these, there seemed to be no trace of Neutro even to this day.”

“Reading that scroll again?” a calm male voice says.

“Eeekk!!” the girl flusters as she quickly folds the scroll.

“You scared me there Dubnet,” she adds.

“Hahaha,” the young boy laughs.

“Never gets old,” he says.

“People are getting ready for the tournament and you are here reading a scroll of a history you already know?”

He sighs.

“Kiiara you never fail to amaze me,” he adds.

“Shut up!” the girl replies, with a frown as she stands up and dusts her trousers.

Kiiara has dazzling blue eyes, light brown skin (not too fair, not dark), long silver colored hair running down to her waist which she packs with a blue ribbon. Her hands are a bit small and her nail tips, white in color. Dubnet on the other hand, has hazel eyes, same skin colour with Kiiara, and dark brown hair, medium in length, which he packs with a black ribbon.

“Don’t they always say knowledge is power?” she adds with a gesture where she shows her biceps and puffs her mouth.

“Yeah let’s see how that works for you in the tournament this time around.”

“You’ll see. I’m going to win this tournament, hmph” She replies, with a sigh as she walks out of the room.

“Well you do know it’s going to be a tournament of the best of the best right?!” the young boy, Dubnet, yelled

After waiting some time with no response,

“And I’m talking to myself, what a brat,” he adds.

“So it seems in this our time, the wars have reduced drastically, one can say that we now have peace,” Kiiara says to herself as she walks slowly, with her right hand on her chin, along the hall way leading to the big library exit.

“But can we really say it’s peace? Seeing as no one seems to know where Neutrogena is, not even Dad,” she adds.

“Not to forget that the lost artifact, Armageddon, still has its whereabouts unknown too. All these plus the other sinister beings that are waiting for a good chance to strike. It’s like we’re basically in an illusion that’ll soon be shattered,” she keeps rambling to herself.

Suddenly, she feels an arm across her shoulder.

“Again with your ramblings?” a voice, similar to Kiiara’s voice but a bit stronger, says as a young girl looking just like Kiiara appears beside her.

Kiiara flinchs for a moment but quickly responds, turning with suprise to the other girl.

“Fast as ever Serena, I didn’t even know when you appeared. You just keep getting better,” she adds with a sigh of relief.

“Well, we still have that goal to surpass the legends and the tournament is around the corner too,” Serena responds putting her hands at the back of her head and smiling as she walks down the hallway with Kiiara.

Serena has similar looks to Kiiara as they are twins, except her eyes are gold in color and her hair color is dark brown at the moment.

“Speaking of which, hope you’ve been training, Kii Kii?” she asks, looking at Kiiara.

Kiiara pauses for a while as she looks out the window at some students who are training.

“Training is one thing, effective result is another,” she says.

“Let’s see how it goes,” Kiiara adds as they continue their walk.

“Yeah yeah sure we will,” Serena replies.

“They say in this tournament even the prodigy Damian will be around, I’m not sure about your crush Dayve though,” she adds.

“My…my…my…what?” Kiiara stutters, blushing.

“Ha ha ha,” Serena laughs.

“Hoo…so you want to deny that before your twin ehhn?”

“Alright let’s just pretend that I don’t know what I’m saying,” she adds with a big smile.

“Anyways, I’ve always wanted to see how far I can go against the top prodigies. If I can win any of them in this tournament, it’ll be my announcement to the world that a legend has arrived,” she says, raising her hands with her face full of excitement.

“Though you’re a genius yourself Serena such that you even had to be promoted and moved to the special class where you seem to be like the youngest. Still Damian, Dayve and those other five are something else. Wow so much strong people in existence, I wonder how hard I have to work to truly surpass the legends,” Kiiara says.

By now, they have reached the massive library door. The door is already open. Kiiara finishes her statement, standing at the door, viewing the students walking by, as the cool breeze blows her long hair.

“No biggy, I’m sure in no time you’ll catch up,” Serena responds with a tap on Kiiara’s shoulder.

“As far as it’s you, I’m sure,” she adds with a smile. Kiiara turns to her, short of words, she smiles back.

“There you guys are,” a panting voice says.

“Cous Dubs, laziest talented guy I know, what’s up?” Serena responds, folding her arms.

Dubnet sighs and shakes his head.

“I’m tired of you Serena,” he replies.

“Tehehehe. Well hope you won’t be lazy in this tournament?” she asks, giggling.

“Hmmm…Well it depends though. It’s not necessarily being lazy you know,” he replies.

“Yeah yeah, whatever makes you sleep at night,” Serena responds, flicking her right hand up and down.

“Anyway let’s go get something to eat,” she adds and they leave the library entrance.
