It’s getting dark now, I wonder where Mama and Papa are, if this is their room, they should be going to sleep now right?
“I wish there was a way to walk around.” Fu said
I thought for a second.
“Do you think there is magic in this world?”
“That’s a random question, I am not sure, why?”
“I was thinking about how we could use magic to know what is going on around us, I mean it is worth a shot since we are just lying here and can’t sleep. Right?”
“That is a good idea, but we don’t know how magic would work here, or even if there is any magic.”
“Well, I have an idea of how to start testing if we can use magic.” I put my arms into the air above me. Just holding them there is pretty tiring. “I am going to try feeling magic inside of me.”
“How are you going to do that?”
“I had a friend in middle school that talked about Auras and all the joojoo stuff. I was curious so I asked her about it. She said that she was able to control her aura. I was bored so I asked her to show me, and she told me to imagine an energy running through my spirit like water.”
“Did it work?”
“No, I was never able to do it, so I didn't believe in it, but it was actually kinda calming, so I tried a few other times. My point is, maybe she was telling a kind of truth, although I was skeptical.”
“What do you mean by a kind of truth to it?”
“I mean that maybe our past world was missing a spark of some kind that this world does have. The proof of it is how you and I are talking right now.”
“... huh.. Well is it working? Are you able to use magic?”
“It doesn’t look like it. I did what she said to do, but it didn’t work.”
“Well, how about I try. Maybe it will work for me.”
“Alright, go ahead.” I bring my arms down, I am tired.
“So, an energy running through your body like water huh? Let’s see” He tries what I did. “I don’t think it is working for me either… but.. I am really tired now *yawns* I am gonna sleep, we can try again tomorrow.”
“Agreed.” We both fall asleep.
I wake up to a white light. When I open my eyes, I see some kind of spirit looking creature, it looks like some sort of White transparent Bunny.
“What... is this.” I am amazed. “this is so cute!” It is so freaking cute. I have always loved bunnies.
“Huh? What’s so cu- WHAT IS THIS?!”
“Huh?” I look over and see a red firey cat above Fu, like the white glowy looking bunny above me. “What are these things?” I look back at the bunny. It is just staring at me, but in a cute way. I am blushing from how cute it is.
“Hey Ne. What do you think they ar-.”
“What’s going on?!” Papa shouted as rushed into the room. He looked angry. He looked towards our crib.
I looked over at the bunny, who was still looking at me. I lifted my arms out to the bunny and it came closer.
“Call for the Head Mage.” Papa shouted to some guards outside.
Just a little closer and I can touch the bunny. I want it. I try to reach my arm out more, but they are two short, the bunny is only a few centimetre farther. It came closer to me and I was able to pet it. It is so soft and cuddly. The bunny cuddles up to my chest.
Even though I am so small, the bunny is even smaller. Even though it is lying on my chest, I don’t feel any pressure from its weight. It is lighter than air, but I can tell it is there.
I looked over to Fu, the cat was lying on his chest too.
“It is so warm.” He said.
“The bunny is so light and soft.” I told him
He looked over to look at the bunny.
“It is pretty cute, they both are.”
“I wonder what they are.”
“Do you think it has anything to do with last night?”
I thought for a moment. “Maybe, Papa said to get a Mage or something, so maybe he knows what they are.”
“So magic does exist in this world. Amazing.”
“Took the words out of my mouth, err, mind.”
Some guys in some funny looking outfits showed up. I wonder if those are the mages, one of them has a staff and a really long beard. Is he the head mage? Why are all powerful magic users have long beards? Does it come with the job description. Must have long beard?
“Do you think those are the mages Fu?”
“Maybe, but they do look kinda funny the way they are dressed. In that tall hat and night gown looking robe with stars on it.”
We both laughed.
“Hm.. very interested my king.” The guy with the staff and long beard came towards our crib as he stroked his long beard.
“Ahaaha.” Fu and I both laughed
He waves his hand over the both of us and it has this bright orange glow.
“It looks as though they both accidentally opened their magic gates.”
Magic gates? Is it because of that meditation type thing we did last night?
“Is there a way to close it before they get hurt?” Papa said worriedly.
“I am sorry, your grace. They are open, and nobody can close them without causing permanent damage.” He turned to Papa
Permanent damage? Why can’t we just leave them open? I like the bunny and kitty.
“Hmm… I see. Tell me how this could have happened.” Papa commanded to Mr.Longbeard.
“It is a phenomenon that nobody knows the reason for. It occurs very rarely. It has never happened in twins before, much less in both of them at the same time.”
“I see, and what happens to the children after this kind of thing happens?”
“It depends on their circumstances, sire.”
“Elaborate.”
“This has happened to many different people, many of them have nothing in common. Some of them died, those were the less fortunate of them. As you know, when your mana first opens, you are much hungrier, which is why the more common people do not use mana. The less fortunate could not eat enough to maintain their mana at such a young age. So, they passed away. I do believe such a thing will not happen to our young princes. In the past, the ones that survived were very strong.” He gave a bow to Papa.
Great, are we gonna be OP MCs? (Overpowered Main Characters)
“I see, please leave.”
“Yes, your grace.” The mages bow and leave.
“Fu.. I am thinking it might not have been a good idea to try magic while we are so young…”
“Ya.. agreed.”
Papa sighed and came over to our crib. From what I could tell, he was looking at the cat and the bunny. He looked sad so I wanted to cheer him up, so I smiled and laughed at him while putting my arms out to him.
He sighed again, he looked tired. I think I made him even sadder. I stopped smiling and laughing.
He laughed.
Oh so now you laugh when I stop? I don’t get these people sometimes.
“Well, Fuyuki, Yukine, congrats on becoming adults at 4 weeks old.” He pat us both on the head. “I bet you didn’t even know that in order to become an adult of high society, you had to open your magic gates.” He laughed
We are adults at 4 weeks? “Haahaah.” Fu and I both laughed and Papa smiled.
“That’s my good boys.” He rubbed our heads.
"Hey Fu, if we are adults now..."
"That probably means that some things are gonna change huh?"
"I think so too."
