The Vampire Prince

Momo

The competition was only a few weeks away, and Momo was already feeling much stronger than when he first started training with everyone. He was currently standing in the middle of the practice field with Fuji a few feet away from him. The two stayed after the initial practice with everyone because Momo wanted to try something out. He had asked Fuji to stay with him and cast the 'trails' on him. Fuji didn't ask why or try to talk him out of it. He just nodded and muttered the all too familiar spell. Once the spell was cast Fuji sighed, then sat down on the grass and watched Momo.

"Whats going on here?"

Fuji turned his attention to the new voice and smiled. "Ryoma you haven't left with the others?" he asked the vampire who sat down on the grass right next to him.

"I noticed two people were missing from the group and got curious." Echizen replied and shrugged. "Whats with momo?"

"Ah, he is going through the 'trials' as I call it."

"Trials?" Echizen said confused.

"You left early that day, but when Momo and I first went against each other for training, I had cast this spell on him then as well. He had been through it before, but mainly, the spell surrounds the victim in darkness and shows you your worst fears at a time." Fuji explained with a smile.

"Ah, I see." Echizen muttered watching Momo intently. "Do you know what they are seeing?"

Fuji shrugged. "No. Although I'm surprised, you are not asking if this is too much."

Echizen looked at Fuji and raised an eyebrow. "If momo asked for it then he can apparently handle whatever it is he is going through."

Fuji smirked. "Of course."

The two sat in silence watching momo as he was panting on his hands and knees. He defiantly improved since last time. Momo had not cried at all so far.

"How long does it last?" Echizen asked

"That depends on the person it's being cast on. Basically when the person finally breaks and cannot continue is when the 'trails' stop or I cancel the spell myself."

"Is there a way to break out of it before you break down?"

Fuji stayed silent for a while. "Sa, I wonder?" He honestly didn't know; no one has ever escaped the 'trials' before.

Echizen didn't say anything else after that. At least for a couple more minutes until he asked something that made Fuji very confused.

"Do you want to know what he is seeing?"

"What?"

Echizen smirked. "Momo's worst fears. What is it he is seeing that makes him want to overcome them. Do you want to know what these fears are?"

"Ryoma that is a breach of privacy. Don't you know snooping is not a good quality for a prince to have." Fuji said jokingly. He would be lying if he said he did not want to know. Momo was very persistent on making fuji cast this spell on him. Fuji wanted to know why.

Echizen ignored Fujis remark and asked again. "Do you want to know?"

Fuji stayed silent and continued to watch Momo. Momo's forehead was touching the ground, and his hands were pressed firmly against his ears, probably trying to block out the sound.

Echizen however took Fuji's silence as consent and muttered a single word. When Fuji heard a noise come from Ryoma, he turned his head to look at the vampire. What he saw made Fuji open his eyes and shudder a bit. Ryoma's eyes were a bright golden color, more so than usual. It was breathtaking. He knew that Ryoma's eyes would glow once he cast a spell but to see it happening is a whole other thing entirely. Then Fuji realized that Ryoma cast a spell. So Fuji tore his eyes away from Ryoma to look for any sign as to what Ryoma cast. There in front of the two of them was a 3D projection matt. Fuji looked at the matt in confusion, but then he heard Ryoma mutter another word. Ryoma was too quiet, so he didn't know what he was saying, but he can tell by the tone and how Ryoma's voice seemed to echo that it was a spell being cast. Fuji stared at the 3D matt as it started to display a scene.
