Eternal Power Pretty Cure

Chapter 1「A Radiant Rebirth」

Yuki's POV

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

I hear the sound of my alarm clock resound throughout the bedroom. The sound fell on attentive ears, but the sight of the alarm clock itself fell on blind eyes as they remained gently closed, glued shut from my tender sleep. My eyelids quivered in position as I began the process of awakening.

I slowly open my eyes, shining brown in color in broad morning light beaming out the blinds of the window. That's when suddenly, my eyes fully jolt open, beaming in realization.

It's the first day of middle school. Today was the day. From this day onward, my new school life was about to unfold. My graduation from elementary school had happened two weeks ago, and man, those pair of weeks sure flew by pretty fast. These thoughts drifted deep into my still-groggy mind as I sat up on my bed, which its sheets had been wrinkled from the constant tossing and turning last night. I set my alarm clock off, shutting its rattling beeps up.

I digest my surroundings, trying to get my vision to clear up from the morning blur. From there, my eyes meet the same sight I meet every single morning: my magical girl collection - from manga to merchandise, you name it. Even my alarm clock was magical girl-themed.

Ever since I was little, I've always admired magical girls.

My mother used to always read my sisters and I bedtime stories of heroes who fought for what was right and spread peace throughout the world.

That was how my admiration for magical girls started, and it didn't take too long for me to wish to be a magical girl, be it like the ones on television, manga, or picture books.

But every magical girl story has its end.

And when each story reaches its end, I would always feel some loneliness inside of me.

But I knew that as long as I had a bundle friends, I'd be okay.

I have one friend, but...

Where are the rest...?

I had my doubts about middle school, no, my whole life in general, and a thought crossed my mind - the thought that as long as I had magical girls, as long as I had hope, I would live through the hardships in life.

But will I really?

Will I really get through middle school, my first year in middle school? Memories of trauma from my sixth year in elementary crept into my mind like a virus. Realizing the melancholy reaching my face at a brisk rate, I shook my head hastily, desperately extinguishing the arising thoughts of negativity.

We won't talk about that now...

I shifted over, removing the blanket over my body as I got to my feet. Standing on the mattress of my bed, I make my way to the blinds overlooking my bed and the bed of my younger, fraternal twin sister, Yui.

I flip the blinds open, unveiling the morning sunshine beaming from outside. I peer through the blinds, looking on nervously as I pondered through my thoughts of worry regarding my first day. That is when, suddenly, a white dove, with feathers as white as purity and snow, crosses my path from outside, its wings spread as it soared gracefully past the window.

I watched it fly the path its wings took it, soaring to the sky of light citrus morning hue. With that, a feeling of relief spread overhead as the sight of the dove crossed my vision, and a soft smile comes to light on my face. With solace set in mind, I make my way out of bed, stopping in front of Yui's bed. Yui slept in a crooked position, spread out on her bed accompanied with a fit of snoring. This says quite a lot about her personality, actually.
