Timeless Stars

Unlikely Brothers

Chapter 3 - Ayumu~

I was frozen, forced to look up at the Spriggan and the Imp who were threatening me and the Cait Sith guy who helped me.

"Take it." The Imp said. I was surprised when he threw it down to the ground where I was with the Cait Sith.

The Cait Sith got up from the ground while grabbing the whip. He cracked it once. "Yes! I'll tell Alisina thanks."

I could finally move my body from the paralysis. I saw the other fairies get up and run away. One Gnome crashed his way through the crowd, and a bunch of other fairies fell on the ground.

"Hey! Get away from him!" Xavier shouted while he ran towards me. "Pú mov-"

"Stop!" The Spriggan stepped in front of my brother. Xavier almost fell right on top of him. "Sorry! I casted the spell with 'Pik' instead of 'Pú'."

Sophie flew in and asked, "Why did you cast the paralysis spell then?"

"Force of habit." He said embarrassed. He wore a torn black cape and cloak. He's about my age, but he had solid black hair like the Cait Sith and Imp.

"Who are you guys?" I jumped into the conversation.

The Imp answered, "We're brothers. I'm Luke, the one with the cat ears is Reed, and the one with a scythe twice as big as you is Jerry."

"I thought you were trying to attack using that whip!" I exclaimed.

"What? I have no skill points in whips... I use a cutlass." A cutlass made of water, fitting for a pirate like him, materialized in his hands. "If I attacked with that whip, it would do about 80 damage. This cutlass isn't just an-"

My sister butted in and introduced us, "We're siblings too. I'm Sophie, the one Luke was talking to is Joseph, and Xavier is the silent Pooka over there."

My brother glared at her, "Are you guys participating in the tournament?"

"Yeah." Reed replied, "Are you guys in it too?"

"Of course." Sophie answered.

"Um... How are you going go participate? You're just a Navigation Pixie." Luke asked.

"I was turned this way by messing around with codes..."

"What? seriously!" Reed shouted.

"Let's be friends!" I shouted. "I sent a request to all of you." I stood there with a big smile on my face, wondering if I could make a friend for the first time.
