_Chapter 1_

      

~The Land Of Mystic and Magic~

*Third Person's Pov*

           Bright green lights illuminated the vast wide skies followed with sparks of blue and lavender, it was all so beautiful that even the children playing around the swings and playground couldn't help but stare in awe.
  All this was done by a little boy, and he was called.....

      “Xerox! Xerox, are you even listening to me?!” Liro, the golden child of the Malburo's family called, having dazzling auburn hair paired with the deepest set of honey brown eyes.

The child in question furrowed his brows in annoyance at his over energetic companion “Are you meant to be here? With me of all people, won't Madam Buro be infuriated? That her golden egg is affiliated with a goose like me?” he all huffed out in one breath trying to concentrate on beautifying the skies and talking to this empty head boy.

A laugh left Liro's lips at his words, shaking his head in mirth and crossing his arms against his robed chest “Well, I would tell her that I would love to spend even more time with this so called goose friend of mine” he said with an ear splitting grin, coin deep dimples appearing on his cheeks making him look even more adorable.

           Giving his signature eye roll as an end to the discussion “Mind assisting me? This fire surely won't light itself, would it?” he said pointedly to the nine year old who was lost gazing at the magnificent skies as it became more and more beautiful which each light illuminated.

Noticing that he wasn't paying an ounce of attention to him, the twelve year old used this chance to try his *trick* on Liro—setting his hair on fire that would surely bring his mind back. And with that thought he did just as he wanted, the next second three things happened 

Liro screamed in fright

Xerox doubled over in laughter 

And ice shards littered the skies making it look even more pretty as collective gasps of amazement were heard 

Everyone knew it was the child of Daelr who was the cause of this, the only poor kid who passed and entered the Mage academy in one seat. 

“Xer! Put it off, it's uncomfortable” The whines of the flamming head boy was at first hilarious until it became annoying, pouting a little before flicking his wrist to set his hair back normally

“You're no fun” he pouted while Liro just stared in a mix of annoyance and fear before huffing out a sigh “Y'know you're wayyy more powerful than any of my tutor's back at home, and perhaps you could be equal to some high mages in the council. I mean, it's frightening” he stuttered lowering his head in shame as his voice began to wobble which shocked Xerox to the core

“You're crying..” he trailed more of a statement than a question before squatting down to his height and tilting his head to face the crying boy “Why are you crying” he asked a small frown and squinted eyes on his face for him, Liro sniffles filled the area where we were—staying on a cliff end so we could be alone to decorate the skies.

He scoffed a bit biting his lower lip in annoyance “Who wouldn't cry? I may be nine years old but I am no fool. I see the way they look at you, and the way they look at me. Even tho you have power than could force almost anyone to their knees and beauty that most women would be jealous of, they still look at you like you're garbage....and then there's me, a boy born with a golden spoon and I can't even reach two third of your strength and still they look at me with more respect! Why! Why is this world so cruel, why are you taking it all, why should you suffer?!” he shouted in a loud cry his knees buckling as he fell, lips wobbling, cheeks pink and eyes filled with tears.....for Xerox.

“Why are you crying for me?” he questioned softly not understanding this boy as his expression stayed monotone which made the smaller boy to laugh howbeit humourlessly “Why won't I? If I don't care who will? If we don't care, who will? Your parents? No, and we both know that. I, Ali and Pero. We all give more than enough shits for you, and it's my fault, it's all my fault that your family lost everything. I'm sorry” he finally said, after so long crying about how he couldn't apologize

What happened next tho was a surprise. A sharp chuckle escaped Xerox red lips as looked at his foolish brown eyed friend “I see you still lack that thing called sense.” he first said with a small smile all while Liro continued bawling his eyes out “See, you're even crying your heart out for a goose like me? Did your parents teach you no pride? Or are you just that stupid, stupid child” he laughed although it started carrying a somber emotion which made Liro stop to stare up at him still sniffling 

“Such a stupid child you are, crying for me? Ali, Pero? All of you are so stupid. Why would you care for someone so useless as me?” he finally said eyes brimming with so much pain as he raised Liro's head to wipe away his tears “Why won't you leave me like the rest of them do? Why don't you forget me? Why do you care when no one else does? Why!” he shouted a single tear falling down his cheeks catching Liro in surprise. “You ask why, yet you don't want me to go. I see it in your eyes Xerox, almost everyday you try to hide it...the pain, the resentment, the fear, you hide it so much so that it scares me” he responded meeting his eyes, brown burning green “Why don't you show it, you think we don't care? Is that it? Do you really not give a frog's arse about yourself? Xerox answer me!” Pure pained and crazy laughter was all he was given as a reply

“Let's go, don't want Ms shouty to come looking for us, do we?” he said back to his monotone self and it no longer fazed Liro, not anymore....because now he knew, that it was just an act.

✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧

It happened so drastically, one moment the three lot were playing tag, howbeit the next thing they knew was their eyes being blindfolded, mouth taped shut with arms tied behind their back, their bodies roughly forced into some type of vehicle–that much they knew considering the fact that three, Ali, Liro and Pero all had the luxury of boarding a vehicle. However this time was no luxury, stories have been told by their parents, stories about children being kidnapped and never returning the same way as before.

Is this what was happening to them, were their thoughts

If only they had a good sixth sense like Xerox, they would've guessed, if only Xerox had been with them they would've been rescued.

All their thoughts all came to an abrupt halt once they started hearing their captors voices—four males and three females, all in their early twenties.

“You sure we bring the Buro's kid? Isn't he some type of treasure for the family? Won't they know–” cutting him off short was a woman who started with a mocking hiss “and so? Even if they suspect, there's no single clue or witness. We just gotta make this clean, capish!” she shouted–she's probably the leader they thought.

Now in their heads they're all wondering how each other feel and if they'll be okay.....however the next thing they heard surprised them even more “Sure that Daelr kid would even give a fuck? He sure seems... unemotional” another female trailed in a low whisper obviously afraid of what the leader would say 

“He doesn't have a choice either way, does he?” the boss said her voice void of all sanity “Now boys, rack em' up and get ready for a new member!” “To Mahouska! To Mahouska!” their chants the only thing that could now be heard.....Xerox was in big shit, that much they knew
