"See what?" Jinyoung asked, a stern tone to his voice. Jaebum tried to swallow some saliva to coat his dry throat. How can you not see it?!

"N-Nothing nevermind.."

The light moved towards the kings hand, twirling around it in a fast pace. It shook and wiggled around, almost as if it was impatient, mad.

"I know you can see me!"

The star's voice! That's his voice! Is he talking to me?

"Quite acting, you can see and hear me. Make a move."

Jaebum moved his foot closer to the throne's floor. But before he could move any closer, Jinyoung grabbed ahold of his chest plate, his eyebrows furrowed. "Stop moving! You're going to get the kings' knights attention!" He whisper-shouted under his breath.

Jaebum looked at him anxiously, why can't you see it? He turned his head to the front and saw the eyes of one of the blue knights on him, he then moved back into place.

"I demand you. Make a move. Hit me, hide me away! Do something, all mighty King Sulivan!" The star screamed. His soft voice cracking.

The king? What's going on..

The knights in the hall started to murmur, their minds wondering as to why the king has froze.

Jaebum looked at the star, and then to the king. And at that exact moment, the Kings eyes looked at the star with almost no emotion. He mumbled some words before slamming his hand against the throne's arm.

The star exploded into bits and pieces, it's voice and presence gone. People gasped at the sudden movement, and after that, it became eerily silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Jaebum was conflicted. Almost hurt as the stars' shining pieces drifted to the floor before disappearing.

"I'm sorry, my subjects. I got distracted. Now, please seat yourselves." He said calmly, his deep voice bellowing across the hall.

Jaebum furrowed his eyebrows, what the fuck?! The sound of silver armor clanging could be heard as all the knights sat in their seats. Jaebum stood still, his fist clenched with rage.

Somethings not right..

"Jaebum!" Jinyoung hushed out. He tried to pull the older down into his seat, but Jaebum was too stiff in rage to be moved.

People began to murmur again, and as he was the only one left standing, the kings eyes drifted to him. Emotionless and dull.

"Ah. I see you must be very impatient. Sir Im, I'm assuming?" The king states rather calm. Jaebum shook at the sound of his last name, his fists unclenched.

"Yes. I'm very sorry, your honor. Your presence fills me up with so much anticipation, sir." He bowed before taking his seat. Jinyoung stared at him wide eyed, he didn't look mad, but rather conflicted.

"Now! Let's commence this ceremony!" King Sulivan cried, cheers erupted yet again.

Now that his voice would be smothered by cheers, Jaebum spoke up. "Jinyoung, I know I sound weird right now. But I definitely feel that there's something more to the King."

"What do you mean by that?" Jinyoung asked, and Jaebum appreciated the fact he didn't question him. "There's just something off, I can't explain right now." Jinyoung looked at him warily, but nodded.

"Knights from each class will come up to be bestowed his position! When your class is called, please stand with your peers and walk up to the throne in a single filed form!" The same blue knight from before called, the king nodded with an impatient manner.

Jaebum picked at his thumb with his fingers, he felt anxious but for a whole different reason now.

"Class D!"

Knights from "class" D, all stood from their seats. Class was simply another way to say district or town.

"Shit... that's me. Don't do anything stupid." Jinyoung whispered as he stood up. Jaebum watched with anticipation as his friend walked into a line with other members of Class D.

"Class C!"

More knights stood, their armor clashing together filling the hall with sounds. Quiet murmurs are spewed here and there, but the only thing Jaebum can hear is the king's voice.

"You are now a Knight for Sulivania, I bestow upon you this medal. Keep peace and sincerity. Be proud to protect this kingdom."

For each and every knight he said the same thing, all with the same rank in the kingdom. All the same medal. Everything.

Jaebum found this to be despicable.

He looked at all the seats to see if anyone else was in his Class. He remembered being the only boy in his town to have come to the kingdom. So he eyed the chairs with little hope.

But to his surprise, a rather young boy was sitting a couple rows behind him. Maybe a year or two younger than him. I've never seen him before? What?

The boy stared directly into his eyes. It looked as though he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, a voice called throughout the hall.

"Class Z!"

Jaebum stood up warily, keeping his eyes on the boy as he walked around the rows to the front row. He walked a few steps towards the line of knights, but was stopped short when the boy grabbed his arm.

"Come with me, and don't question anything." The boy whispered, his voice sending shivers of nostalgia down Jaebum's spine.

Jaebum opened his mouth to protest, but closed it and simply nodded as the boy slowly dragged him away from the hall. "If anything happens, we run immediately, okay?" The boy whispers, his grip on Jaebum getting tighter.

Jaebum looked up at the throne area, trying to find Jinyoung. But when he couldn't, he assumed all of class D had already been filed out. And as he drifted his eyes away from the throne, they caught the King's mad stare.

"Halt!" The king bellowed. The boy holding onto Jaebum's arm shook at the yell. "Don't move any further, boy!" With that last shout, the boy quickened his pace.

"F-fuck wait." Jaebum stuttered, he tried his hardest to keep up without tripping. "Get him!" The king screamed, blue knights from every corner of the hall started to run towards the boys. The hall filled with screams and shouts, but Jaebum couldn't hear it over his own heartbeat.

The hall's doors closed abruptly, with no one there to shut them, Jaebum furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

The boy changed his hold on Jaebum's arm to his hand, he then put his other hand in front of him. As they got closer, Jaebum's heart beat fastened.

"Uh- the doors?!" Jaebum screamed with panic, he watched the boy look back at him and then to the knights behind them. His browm and blonde hair bounced up and down as he ran, and when Jaebum got a glimpse of his face, he could see the boy smile.

"Hold on!" With those words, the boy's other hand began to shine bright, and not even a second later, light flared out of it and onto the doors. The doors slammed back open, the sound echoing against the hall's walls.

Shit..
