Prologue - Birth

*sound of fireplace crackling*
[monologue]
Sui: I can't... I can't keep them... Aki... Atsui.. I definitely can't keep them..
*looks at her baby twins Aki and Atsui* *sound of their cries*
Sui: Aki, Atsui.. Mama's going to go somewhere far away. Mama hope that one day we will reconcile. That is.. if mama can live to see you grow up.
*Tears flowing from Sui's eyes*
*Sui leaving through the back door with a staff in her hand*
*She turned back to look at the old wooden door.. then she left into darkness*
------------------------
Their grandfather came to check on Aki and Atsui but found that their mother had left them.
Ojii: Poor children. Ojii will protect you from now on. Don't cry my beloved grandchildren. Ojii's here. Hush Hush.
------------5 years later-------------
Aki: Ojii! Ojiii!!!
Ojii: Yes, yes my dear. What is all these ruckus?
Aki: Ojii, Atsui-nii took my marbles!
Ojii: Why so? Aren't you guys playing together? Hohohoho..
Aki: No we're not! We're having a battle! But Atsui-nii took my marbles, I can't battle him anymore.
*Atsui entered the living room*
Aki: Atsui-nii!!!
Atsui: Here.
*in Atsui's hand is a bag filled with marbles*
Aki: Atsui-nii, did you go and get me new marbles?
*Atsui blushed*
Atsui: Well, since yours looked like they're going to crumble so I got new ones from Aunt Mumu
Ojii: Oh how nice of her. You two go play. Ojii has to do some work here. Hoho..
Aki: Come on Atsui-nii!
Atsui: Okay!
-------------------------------------
Ojii took out his ink of the moon and a scroll. On the paper, written: "If a day may come when the cursed and the blessed combine, may the Spirit break their shells"
Ojii: I must pass this to Ai before they come.
------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, outside..
Atsui: Hey Aki.
Aki: Yeah?
Atsui: Have you ever wondered why do we have weird birthmarks?
Aki: Well, I did asked Ojii once. He said it was the last thing that mama left us before she left.
Atsui: Do your birthmark stings like mine?
Aki: What do you mean?
Atsui: The place where the birthmark is*at the left shoulder, shape of a sun* , it stings. As if it is absorbing energy into my body.
Aki: Ehh? Really? Mine just feel kind of normal. *birthmark located at the right shoulder, shape of a crest*
Atsui: I wonder how our mum looks like? I want to meet her. And ask her lots of questions.
Aki: Well, Aki is happy that Atsui-nii and Ojii is here together with me. I want to meet mama too.
Atsui: *smiles* Aki, I really love you!
Aki: Aki loves Atsui-nii too!
*both giggles*
------------------------------------------
*sound: rustle! Rustle!*
Aki: *turns his head to the noise* What was that?
Atsui: We better not move. I can feel something. It's dangerous.
Aki: We should go tell Ojii!
Atsui: On the count of 3. 1. 2.... 3!!!
*An A level sprite that looked like some sort of beast appears of out off the forest*
????: Ahh. How delightful. After 5 years, we've finally found where that women hid her treasure.
*Aki froze*
Atsui: Aki!*turns to the guy* who are you?! What do you want with us?
????: Oh, aren't you a feisty one. For a brat like you, you're quite daring.
Aki: A...Atsu..i.. *his hands trembling while holding on to Atsui*
Atsui: It's okay. run to Ojii! RUN NOW!
????: Oh no no no. You can't run. You both must come with me!
*??? controlled the sprite and was about to attack*
*Ojii rushed out and stood in front of Aki and Atsui with the scroll on his hand*
Ojii: Who are you? Are from Zen too? I won't let you get your hands on these children!
Atsui: Ojii!
????: Oh, how rude of me. My name is William. Do you know what will happen if you mess with me?
Ojii: Just don't touch them! Go back to Zen!
William: Oh no no no. Zen-sama will punish me if I don't take them back.
Atsui: We won't go with you!
William: Hehe? *murmurs* Philia~<3  Attack them. Kill that old guy. He's useless anyways.
*The sprite charged at them with full speed while it roared*
*Ojii turn to Aki*
Ojii: Aki! Take this and run with Atsui!
Aki: B..But
Atsui: Ojii!!!
Ojii: RUN NOW!!!
*Aki and Atsui ran as fast as they could with the scroll Ojii passed to Aki*
*The sprite slashed through Ojii's flesh as if it's a piece of paper*
*Aki turned back and saw their grandpa's blood spurting out from his body, looking terrified*
*tears flows out from Aki and Atsui's eyes*
William: Oh my.. Those two brats are trying to escape. Phillia!
*Roaring sound*
*The sprite charged at the kids. Atsui pushed Aki out of the way *
Aki: Atsui-nii!!!
Atsui: I'm alright! Run. Run now!
*Aki kept on running while holding tightly to Ojii's scroll*
Aki: *sniff. sniff* Why? Atsui-nii. Ojii... I must save Atsui-nii!
*Aki stopped and ran back*
*He returned and saw his brother in William's arms, covered with blood.*
Aki: What did you do to Atsui?!!!
William: Oh calm down brat! He's not dead. Zen-sama wants you both alive. Now come with me. You don't want to see your precious brother get hurt do you? Oh wait! He's already hurt. Hahaha
Aki: How dare you!
William: Phillia!
*The sprite charged once again*
*SPARK*
???: Are you okay kid?
*A spark of lightning got through the whole area*
Aki: You.. Who.. Why?
William: How dare you intefere with the great me?!
???: Why wont I? I am an S ranked ability user after all. *smirks*
William: Phillia!
*The girl's eyes turn bright golden yellow. Energy is quickly surrounding her. Hence, creating sparks*
???: Do you think that small kitty cat of yours could beat the sparks? I am quite disappointed. Your realistic illusions are weaker than I thought.
William: Tsk! Don't underestimate me!
*her sparks sent the sprite flying through the air and hit the ground hard*
*The sprite disappeared*
William: How could this be? My illusion sprite!
???:Now give me that boy!
William: There's no way. *Smirks*
*william summoned 10 realistic illusion sprites and disappeared through thin air with Atsui*
???: Oh no! Boy, stand behind me!
Aki: But Atsui-nii! He's...
???: It's okay. We'll get him back soon.
*She focused all her energy on a single spark that exploded at each of the sprites*
*the sprites fall apart and disappeared*
???: Come on. Let's get you to somewhere safe.
Aki: Where? I want to get Atsui back!
???: We will get him back. But we must go to the Cross Order first. Kirie-dono will explain these things to you okay?
Aki: Yes.
----------At the Cross Order---------------
*sound of footsteps*
Aki: Miss.
???: Yes?
Aki: I still don't know your name? I'm Aki Night.
Hannah: Ah, I'm sorry. My name is Hannah. I'm an elemental ability user.
Aki: Ability user?
Hannah: Kirie-dono will tell you those later.
*both of them walk into a big office*
*Hannah knocks on the door*
Hannah: Kirie-dono.
Ai: Ah, please come in.
*Hannah and Aki walk in. Aki sat on the chair while Hannah stand beside Kirie Ai.*
Aki: Ah! You guys will save Atsui-nii right?
Ai: Hannah, you failed to save both?
Hannah: I've tried, Kirie-dono.
Ai: -sigh- Aki Night is it?
Aki: Yes.
Ai: I'm sorry. Once one is captured and brought back to Zen, I'm not sure if we can bring him back.
Aki: But- why?!
Hannah: -looks down on the floor-
Ai: Because we don't know where they are.
*Aki cries*
Aki: Bu.. But..
Ai: Look, Aki. Do you want to be able to save your brother?
Aki: Ye..s..
Ai: Show me the scroll that your Grandpa left you.
*Aki hands over the scroll*
*Ai opens the scroll and read it's content*
Ai: It seems...
Hannah: Could it be?
Ai: -nods- Aki, it seems that you and your brother are very special.
Aki: Why is that?
Ai: Haven't your grandpa told you anything?
Aki: Ojii never tell us anything about us.
Ai: I see..
Aki: What is it?
Ai: Do you know about the legend that every million years, on a certain day, a pair of twins will be cursed and blessed. Both possesses good and bad luck. Aki, what is the shape of your birthmark.
Aki: A crest.
Ai: I should have known. Aki.. You are cursed.
Aki: What do you mean? Am I going to die?
Ai: No, you won't die. But you will be affected. The curse you carry in your body is called the Thousand Curse of The Moon. Which means,..
Aki: Means?
Ai: If you can't withstand those one thousand curses, your body will be destroyed by them.
Aki: Then, what should I do so that I can live?
Ai: Be one with the curses. You need to learn to communicate with these one thousand curses! Each curse exist as a being inside of you. You'll have to make them your allies.
Aki: How am I supposed to do that?
Ai: Hannah, take Aki to 'that room'.
Hannah: Understood, Kirie-dono.
