Three days had passed since Ikyo had woke up,she had been studying with Na-Na on how to use her powers and how to cast spells that could be helpful to use against Me-Me. Ikyo didn't think she needed to studying since Nie-orya had read from her spell book from began to end everyday for so many years but Na-Na insisted that she had to study because she was not a full blood human. They had read adout every book on spells they had in the house and practice every spell within the could help Ikyo during her figth. A lot of the spells Ikyo casted was preformed at a master level that Na-Na couldn't keep up with her or find a error in them at some times. So she made Ikyo concentrate on a lot of them after she cast them making her focus on them for a long period of the until she could find a error. If she found one she would have her cast it again until she got it right. Some spells Ikyo knew very well that she didn't have to cast them more that once without a Na-Na able to find a single error. After Na-Na started asking her how to cast them better for herself, they still study and practice early every morning until late afternoon before it got dark.
But today Nie-orya sent Na-Na to the market early that morning, so Ikyo went out for a walk instead. She found a nice spot high in a tree to practice her reading since she couldn't read or write that good, Na-Na wanted her to read a children's book called Alice in Wonderland. She had found it in the city the other day when she was shoping and it just seem to make her think of her somehow. After reading it for a while she sat the book on a nearby branch as she was started to get tired she then layed back against the tree. A while after she soon fell asleep as she was listening to the sound of the wind blowing in the leaves of the trees and was watching the clouds go by in the sky in front of her. She started dreaming about a boy but something seemed different adout him somehow because she had a strange feeling about him like she had known him her whole life. But she didn't know any other boys beside her brothers and the three boy she knew that she would play with when she was a child which she had left in charge of her village that her father passed down to her to teach her how to be strong enough to care for the people that was close to her that she cared adout.
The three boys was brothers that was named Kane, Lee, and Nel they was mages like herself but she didn't know much about her powers then. She left the village in their hands until a new princess was born from them. Kane was the oldest, he had the knowledge of order to help the village grow. Lee was the second oldest he had gain so much wisdom in his young life that he wanted to share it with everyone. But many people in the village didn't want to listen because they believe he was too young to know anything but that didn't stop him from teaching those that would listen. Nel was the youngest out of his brothers who would always call him Mel since he couldn't say his named right to a girl and when he did he would say it was Mel instead. He grew up tough from being the youngest and he was really good at number. So he learned about finances which help the village to become a great city with his brothers help. After a few years many people wanted to learn more adout their magic like his brother Lee had. So he created schools in the city to teach them, after he did more people came to learn from him. The schools grew to the point now that a lot of mages go there it learn adout magic because it is known all over to be the best place to live and learn adout their magic better than anywhere else.
Ikyo had met the three boy in the village after she ran away from the castle the first time she had transformed into her human form during the full moon a few days after she had been living their for a few months before her thirteen birthday. They had heard her cries and came to help her after they toke her in as their sister which made Ikyo very happy and made her felt less alone being around people that could use magic like her. She stayed with them for three day until the third night she would changed back into her normal form. The first time she did she left them a note with Nel saying she will come back each month after the full moon like how they met. Nel and the mage elder of the town named Mags that live in the castle with Ikyo to teach her adout her magic was the only one that knew about her transforming into a human during a full moon. Plus Nel was the only one who knew she was the princess and Mags was the only one she told where she would go after the full moon, she visited the brothers during the same time for 2 whole years.
During that time everyone inside and out had found out adout her transforming during the full moon but Kane and Lee. This went on until her sixteen birthday which was on a full moon that year. The night before she told the Mags that she wanted to leave and go find her brothers. She fortold Ikyo of three boy that would each bear a son and each would bear another son. But one of their grandsons out of the three of them that didn't leave the village would bear a girl, one would leave to see the world and other would leave to learn the ways of a mages but come back to share with the village what he had learned the last one left would give the village their new princess. She told her this was to happen in 40 years starting from that day of Ikyo's birthday. So Mags insured her that the village would be safe and would have their a princess again. Before the sun had risen she had all the villagers gathered in the town square to show her transforming into her human form. She was shocked to find out that they had known of her secret but didn't say a word because they knew she being their princess need to be free sometimes in order to be child so she wouldn't lose herself within the castle walls. She put the village in the hands of Kane, Lee, and Nel the next morning before leaving. Both Kane and Lee was surprised that she was the princess they could speak right to her. But when they look at Nel he just rub the back of his head and smiled at them telling them that he knew and he quickly told them that Ikyo had made him promise not to tell them. He didn't just get one hit in the head but two that day from them. She left the village with a clear mind after the ceremony for her sixteen birthday because she knew her dream she told Mags had proven she was doing the right thing by leaving the castle in the brothers hands to care for.
Within the dream adout the boy she and him was running after each other in a field with spring flowers all around them by the forest. As he was running he tripped on a tree root and she started to run back to him. She looked at him closely as he was laying on the ground with his eyes closed. When she kneeled down to him he smiled at her then quickly pulled her down onto the ground laughing at her surprised face, he stop when he had her warpped in his arms. They started to rest under a nearby tree, he looked down at her before he started rubbing her hair as she was looking up at the clouds in the sky in a daze. "Oku?" Asked Ikyo in a low soft voice after she looked up at him and smiled slightly at him for a moment. "Yes Ikyo?" Asked Oku calmly after he looked down at her with him smiling slightly at her after brushed her hair out of her face. "Promise me that we will never be apart, and if something happens to us.. to me that you will make sure to find me and make sure that we will never be a part again ever no matter what." Said Ikyo strongly then her eyes started to glass over near tears after she sat up then suddenly wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer to her holding him tightly. "I would never leave you or let anything happen to you." Said Oku in a calm voice after removing her arm and was holding her in front of him and wiped away some of Ikyo's tears off her checks with his thumb as he was looking at her with a puzzled look.
"I want you to promise me Oku!" Said Ikyo strongly as she was now kneeling in front of him. She started to embracing his hand within hers holding it tightly against her chest. He looked at her and seen that she was seriously worried about something and wanted to ensure that he would keep her safe. "I promise you that I was always be by your side to protect you with all my power, even if I have to travel to the end of this land to find you. I will never let anything happen to you ever and that's a promise to you forever and always." Said Oku in a soft calm voice then he smiled slightly at her before he pulled her closer to him and kissed her on her forehead. "Thank you Oku." Said Ikyo in a low voice before she started to wipe some of the tears away from her eyes and off her cheeks. Oku pulled her sligthly closer to his face and started to gently rub her cheek. She looked up at him and he lifted her head up by her chin making him and her both blush, she close her eyes and made a tears run down her cheek. Without a second thought Oku suddenly kissed her then embraced her within his arms. She was so surprised and overjoyed that her powers made every living thing around them bloomed and sparkled as bright as her heart felt because this was the perfect moment for their first kiss. She could hear his heart beat fast as he was holding her in his arms as he was looking at her. After a moment he then kissed her on her forehead, she looked up at him and he pulled her closer to his chest and leaned back against the tree and started to crease her hair as she was listening to his heart beat with him looking up at the clouds.
Back at the house everyone was busy either cleaning or studying. Nie-orya was trying her best to make Ikyo's room as spotless as possible by cleaning everything in sigth to get all the dust out of every crack, corner, and craves of the room. Because when she showed the room to her she started sneezing and couldn't stop for a whole hour after she had just opened the door to show her the room. Na-Na and her sister was outside on the porch resting since it was a clear day. Me-Me was sitting on one of the porch swing as she was making her weapon spar with a copy she made with her powers in the yard. Her sister Na-Na was sitting on the steps making a list of the most important or useful spells for her and Ikyo to practice on. "Come on Na-Na spar with me it's started to be no fun sparing with myself. It has became so easy that I can do it so easily with me just laying here." Said Me-Me in a discourage voice as she was laying on her back on the swing before she rolled onto her side and placed her hand on the side of her head as she was looking over at her sister. She looked up from her book and looked up her before she looked off at her sister's weapon as it was clashing loudly after each hit. Then she looked back at her book for a moment before she slammed it closed making Me-Me suddenly sit up before she started to looked up at her seriously.
"If I spar with you your just going to be mad all evening because you lost." Said Na-Na in a soft low voice then she raised her hand above her head and made a sparing staff appear in her hand. "That's what you think." Said Me-Me strongly then she crossed her arm before she leaned back on the the swing making it swing slightly under her. "Fine, but only on one condition both of us must be in one of the swing with just our weapons fighting for us just like when we was little." Said Na-Na seriously after she finished putting a protective spell on the staff and sat down in the other swing on the other side of the porch and smiled slightly at her for a moment after she looked up at her. Me-Me was surprised by her request because she rarely ask her to spar like that and when she did it was only because she was unsure who was going to win in the end. "Fine, whatever." Said Me-Me calmly as she was looking back at her seriously. They used their powers to moved both of their weapons into the sparing circle and made them touch each other waiting for each other to get ready. When they nodded to each other the weapon began to clash together. They was so loud that some of the birds flew away from the some of the trees nearby. A few minutes passed then Na-Na started using her power to try and make her sister fall out of her swing in order to test her concentration like when they was little. "I was starting to think you forgot the rules for a moment." Said Me-Me calmly with a sligth grin on her face after she had grabbed one of the chain of her swing and was holding it tightly as she was looking at her.
"Oh I didn't forget any of the rules not a single one my dearest sister." Said Na-Na in a soft sweet innocent child like voice as she swinging her legs under her. "You.. you know I don't like when you talk like that." Said Me-Me in a low nervous voice after tightening her grasp on the chain with both hands. She looked over to her and started pushing her swing making her tighten her grasp on one the the chain of her swing.When they was young their father called this game The Robin and The Mouse.The rule of the game are that each person is not aloud to move from their swing they are called the Robins. Each Robin has to push the other Robin's swing until they fall onto the ground,when this happens they become the Mouse.The Mouse can swing the Robin's swing as fast as they can without losing focus on the battle in the sparing circle. And when the Robin's feet are away from the ground and are sitting on the swing itself they can't use their powers to pulled them back down in order to make them fall off the swing. But the Robin now has to find out how to make the Mouse stop moving their swing before they do fall as both continue battling with their weapon untill someone has won.If a weapon is trown out of the sparing circle the owner of that weapon loses the battle.When the last Robin fall out of the swing the Mouse won the focus part of the game but not the battle itself so it continue until one of them win. In order to win the battle they must not lose focus on their weapon just because of what the other is doing to distract them in order for them to win the game completely.
Na-Na let out a small laugh after her sister weakly tried to push her swing faster. "What's wrong Me-Me I thought you was stronger than this. You said it yourself that you was or is this all you got in you today after sparing with yourself." Said Na-Na in a smug voice then she sat back against the arm of the swing and stretch her legs out in front of her. "I have, brother said when you can't beat yourself you became stronger than you was before he said that to you too." Said Me-Me sharply as she was glaring at her then she looked back at her weapon. "Then show me." Said Na-Na strongly in a intimidating voice after she layed her legs out in front of her and made her feet hook under the arm of the swing as she was holding the chain beside her.
