"Lucky did you hear that? Something or someone nearby is trying to attack us. I'll go check on it." said Spada. Lucky was the king of the Sun Kingdom, a fairly tall but young looking man. He was overly enthusiastic as well. With that type of attitude, the people were always happy and optimistic. With Spada by his side, nobody dared tried to take them on. Spada had defeated 10,000 warriors and counting. His unsure swordfish fighting style could never be predicted, thus making him a difficult opponent to beat. As Lucky began to prepare for whatever it was that caused the loud boom, he felt a whisper in his ear. Nobody was around, the name Umeko could be faintly heard. Lucky scratched his head and shrugged it off. 

Spada dashes outside with his sword out, his noticeable short brownish hair moved with every movement. His ears turning a little red, his heart racing and the fight look he had in his eyes. Spada closed in on the smokey filled area, he stood not to far from the hole. "What or better yet WHO are you? If you don't answer within five minutes, I will add your head to my collection." said Spada. A low feminine groan could be heard. "My name......it's its Umeko. I'm a seer who I'm not sure how or why myself got here. Forgive my loud entrance." said Umeko in obvious pain and confusion. Spada immediately put his sword away and picked up Umeko carefully. Her head had a nice sized gash, she oddly smelled of something he never smelled before. Her frame was quite small, the cloak added on to her overall mystique aura.  

Spada reached the secret entrance to the castle, calling out for help to get Umeko situated for a lengthy stay. Lucky came around the corner and was stunned to see the young female badly injured and unable to remember much. He also knew this could a tactic to catch him off guard. To carefully approach the young lady without overwhelming her was going to no easy feat. "Lucky wait until tomorrow to bombard her. By the looks of it she may be a seer, which is odd given that seers were eliminated years ago. This has to be divine intervention for us to take heed of upcoming battles. We never lost, but to consider all options mystical and strategically at this point would give us more of an edge. Let her rest and for tomorrow, we shall know her true intentions in a few days time."said Spada eyeing Umeko.

The Sun Kingdom was facing another evening, the guards began to do their countdown until the draw bridge went up. A rough voice shouted forty-five more minutes. The torches began to dot the alley and closing pubs. The guards discussed where to go while keeping their numbers high. The main two pubs were getting ready for another night of fights and drunken stupors. As the bustling people began to make their way home or  to the pub, the creaking of the bridges could be heard. Slowly they began to close, unknowingly two weary travelers had barely made it in. 

The two travelers began to quickly make their way out of the dark towards the brightly lit castle. Getting into the castle was thing, sneaking past the guards was going to take a miracle. "Lucky, you can go to bed now. Everything is secure, the guards will began their usual route soon. We need to get up early to ask the seer some questions. That green magician has yet to be seen again and we can't just fight on little sleep. Being on guard against him and the other is something we can't take lightly your majesty."said Spada. Lucky grinned and abruptly stood up, not many people in his kingdom could muster the two evil magicians names without a surge of fear taking over. It was his job to ensure safety but to also be the one to unite everyone all across  the land. "Spada you have to realize something. I'm a young king with no heir and I'm willing to pass my kingdom to you. Meaning you can't always be like that. To be careful is good, but being too careful is reckless. You get so worked up over the details you end up missing what's really important. You focus on two or three connecting points then leave the rest to luck." said Lucky. 

He knew to be cautious, he didn't want to loose all that his father worked hard to keep. He also knew death couldn't be avoided, to fight someone that powerful could only end in death. He was still trying to think of a way to avoid the latter. 

"The Sun King, I am the Shore Knight and I stand before you asking to make me a knight. So that I may not just protect my home, but to recruit men for the fight of the century. We came from another kingdom in hopes you can give us answers on at least something." said Kouta kneeling before the two. Mao quickly kneeled and was shocked to see no guards around. "Spada, get the books.....it looks like we have some late night teaching to do. I can not be upset or concerned at you two for sneaking into the castle. For fate brings people together in the most unsual ways." said Lucky. Spada was visibly upset but nodded and went got the books.
