MagiKs guilds

Chapter 1, Escape

The day is, August 27 3099.

"GET UP YOU YOU WORTHLESS MAGGOTS!"

The thundering steps of a man echoed, walking down concrete steps. leading to the cellar that held all of us.

The Magiks

It was really dark so I couldn't see much, but I knew everyone down here was no older then 15. My big sister and brother were with me. Milo was 15, he was really smart, had a slim figure with soft features, dark brown hair and piercing green eyes.
Sally was 11 and had fiery red hair and chocolate brown eyes and sharp features.

I still remember the day
everything changed for us.
My mom and dad said that we had to stay hidden because bad people wanted our powers. So we lived in hiding in a small cabin in the pixie forest near the south. It was always so quiet and peaceful. Our parents taught us all they knew and my siblings and i always spared to keep our skills sharp.
But 1 year ago, we were hunted down by the imperial mafia, the underdogs of the king.
When my parents refused to serve the king, they were killed.
My siblings And I though were taken in to become soldiers seeing as we were still young.

6 month ago a group of bandits broke Into our camp and kidnapped as many children as they could, including my siblings and I. But that might as well be an even worse fate then becoming a soldier, cause once you' caught, your sold in the black market.

Right now We're waiting for the auction to start. Milos turning 16 tomorrow so if he's not sold today he'll be thrown out into the streets. The reason for this is because until the age of 16 a Magiks can be put under contract and controlled, once contracted though we'll never be free. But if you can somehow keep running until you're 16,then life becomes a little easier. My brother has 2 abilities. One is called "lions roar" and is exactly as it sounds. A powerful lions roar that destroys anything in a 1 mile radius, not very easy to control. The second one is "rune" this lets him understand any language including ones that are long dead.

My sister, Sally, has 2 abilities too. "Ember" which lets her create and manipulate fire. And the other is called explosion which is pretty much self explanatory. Pretty awesome in a fight.

My ability is called, "Miracles lullaby" And I can infuse any song I sing with a "miracle" like healing or magical arrows. Only flaw is once I stop singing my magic stops with it. I also have a second ability called "foresight". It lets me see anywhere in the world in current time, showing me different routes if I have a destination in mind.

"we have a lovely selection for you tonight ladies and gentlemen."

The auctioneers voice boomed through the mic.

"Everything will be ok don't worry Lisa, just stay close to us" I heard Milo whisper. I could only give a small nod in reply before Milo was called on stage, flashing a small smile towards us as he left.
I could feel my sister shacking in anticipation and fear just like me but all we could do was pray our brother wasn't sold off tonight.

"Our third item folks, this 15 year old lad, he may not seem like much but he's got a rare set of a double gift and this is his last contractable year, with a lions roar and every language under his belt he's bond to be an asset. Do I hear any bids?"

"Going once!"

Hesitant looks cross the crowd

"Going twice!"

Just when things were about to end.

someone raises they're hand.

"Sold! To the big man at the back"

I couldn't see much but from what I could tell, the man wore a black suit, was roughly 6'2 and looked to be around his late 20s. My sister and I both turned panicked when we realized what had just happened. Milo had been sold. We both desperately turned to face him from behind the curtain we stood but what we saw broke our hearts. Milo, our big brother, our protector, had a look of utter defeat and despair on his face.
