Asta wakes at the crack of dawn like always. He grabs his clothes and rushes down to the hot springs. He jumps in and relaxes, he instantly regrets it as he now his almost frozen. Zeck is seen soaked and glaring at the boy.

Zeck: You are on trouble some child.

Asta: I-I-I'm sorry sir! I wasn't expecting someone else to be up this early!

Zeck releases his magic as the boy relaxes again,

Asta: Oh! I was going to look for you after!

Zeck: About what?

Asta: In the afternoon would you like to spar?

Zeck: Why not.

TIMESKIP

Asta is seen running along the forest. He runs though the generals' lands and saying hello to them. He stops at his favorite spot in the kingdom, the old throne room. Said to be cursed, he feels some kind of connection. Like someone else that he knows very well, but nothing of at the same time. He stops and sits at the chair. The boy smiles softly and closes his eyes.

Asta: Hey again, I honestly don't know if someone is even here. I just wish I make the person's day better is there is someone.

Asta..

The boy jumped up and looked around. He smiled.

Asta: Was that you?! I knew someone was here!

Look for the symbol of 5..

Asta: O-Ok I'll try.

The voice stops as the presence leaves. Asta stands in shock of what happened. It soon turns to happiness. There was something there! All those days and gifts weren't for nothing! He ran out to go tell his father, but found a horrible site. The generals are seen with their grimoires open and glaring at the boy with red eyes. Foot-steps could be heard, the mages step aside as a figure is seen.

BEFORE

Flimsmore is seen sparring with Zeck. Suddenly the two feel a devilish mana not far from them. They stop and get spells ready for the arrival of the source. A man with black hair is seen walking to them. He stops and glares his blue eyes at them.

???: Hello there.

Zeck: Who are you?

Lucius: You can call me Lucious Zoragratis, oldest and most powerful of the Zoragratis siblings.

Flimsmore: We don;t need details, you've trespassed the boundaries of kingdoms and will pay.

Lucius: Is that so? Well then, bring it.

Zeck: Pure Ice Magic: Frost-Bite.

Zeck rushes in with his hands in a chomping sign. He closes his hands and a image of ice fangs chomp down. Lucious seemingly teleports away and appears behind the ice mage.

Lucius: Time Magic: Chronostatis.

A blue bubble traps Zeck in the position he was in. Flimsmore looks in shock.

Flimsmore: 'Only Clover's wizard king has time magic!'

Lucius: Soul Magic: Corruption.

A black substance fills the bubble, Filmsmore could only stare in shock.

Filmsmore: 'Two types of magic?! Who is this guy!'

The substance sub-sides as Zeck is seen still in the position from before.

Filmsmore: What did you do to him!

Lucius: Let me show you.

The bubble disperses and Zeck falls to the ground. The feeling of his mana has changed to the same as Lucious'. He stands and turns. His eyes open to reveal red pupils that show no life.
