Thunders roar revealing dead trees, and inky bats flying away at the sound. On a hill sat a dark castle of which belonged to a dark mistress whose evil is beyond compared to any other power in the world. Mysterious clouds swirled with a eery green color shining off of it. Through the halls of the dark castle, a servant serves his master.
“come here Shou, come to me.” Shou topless came willingly to the dark figure that sat in front of him. Dark finger nails touched his chest and he shivered at the chilled touch. “now now puppy, everything will be okay.” He came closer and lips black as night kissed his. All the sudden, a knock came at the door. Aoi came in and bowed down. “my mistress, I come with news.”
Skye came out of the shadows “what is it? Can’t you see that I’m busy?”
“my apologies Skye-sama, but our intelligence have told us that the 5 princes of Arashi land are going in a quest to stop your reign over the Akai Kingdom and to stop your advancement on neighboring villages.”
This news caught her attention. After all, for a long 30 years, no one had ever tried to stop her. “Sou ka…” whispered skye to herself. She got up and went down the couple of steps to Aoi who was standing there eyeing her carefully. Skye, the ruthless witch was more powerful that him after all. In fact she was stronger than anybody. If anyone angered her, she’d kill them on the spot. But she does have a weak spot.
Aoi glanced at shou who stood there watching kat go to Aoi, the look in his eyes…jealousy but a hint of sadness?
Skye caught Aoi’s glance at Shou and she looked back at shou herself. She chuckled and turned around with a swift whip of her cape, she reappeared next to shou tying a silk ribbon covering shou’s eyes. She chuckled again and returned her attention to Aoi. “you may leave Aoi. You will be rewarded for the news you brought me.
“hai…domo arigatou Skye-sama.” And with that , Aoi left.
“KIHAN, NORI, YORI!” Demanded Skye
Her 3 most trustworthy companions appeared before her. Kihan, her strongest warrior, and the most strategic, and the twin witches Nori and Yori; they never left each other’s side and complimented each other in powers too.
“hai, Skye-sama” they all said in unison.
“looks like the 5 princes of Arashiland is on a quest to stop me. Make sure they don’t ruin anything.” She smiled and looked back at shou. She tighten the ribbon around his head making him whimper in pain. “ah, shush” her attention went back to her 3 trustworthy companions. “oh and one more thing. Capture them for me.”
Kihan was surprised at her request. “nani? Demo…why?”
“well…” Skye smiled darkly “if we capture them, we can make for an agreement with Arashiland. If not, we attack. And Nori, Yori, I know you 2 can make some very powerful spells to turn them against their own kingdom.”
“you know us well skye-sama” said nori in her soft voice. “of course, we will. We are in your debt after all.” Said Yori in the same identical voice.
“perfect” Skye put her attention back on shou and licked his neck, and bit it softly.
The 3 just stood there. She practically did things like this every day with shou. They had gotten used to it.
“shall we send out our 5 best agents to lure them in?” asked Kihan.
Skye answered. “do whatever you wish to do Kihan. Just don’t kill them. Who knows…I might get a new pet!”
Shou gasped at what he heard his master say and lost all energy. Skye saw this energy loss and kissed shou gently on the lips. “but that doesn’t mean that whoever is my new pet will replace you. You’ll always be mine.” Shou nodded slightly and Skye smiled with happiness.
“now go kihan. Yori, Nori, you go and begin what you need to do. And also make some potion to wipe their memories out.”
“hai mistress” the 3 said in unison. With that, the 3 left Skye’s dark chamber only hearing chuckles from her enjoyment.
In the court yard the 5 princes practiced their sword fighting. Ohno fought with Jun as Sho, Aiba and Nino waited on the side lines to see who would win. Swords cling and clang, metal biting against metal. Jun took a strike from above straight down on Ohno as Ohno blocked the attack and fended off Jun’s sword. Jun took a couple of steps back. Ohno lunged in swinging his sword from the right, Jun ducked and rolled pass Ohno tripping him in the process. Ohno fell to the ground and Jun’s sword pointed at his neck.
“I win!” smiled Jun proudly out of breath.
The others applauded. Jun who was the youngest had finally won the eldest brother. Jun slid is sword into his sheath and helped the eldest up. Ohno laughed. He was indeed proud of his youngest brother. All the practice with Meiko had paid off. Meiko was Jun’s private guardian as too each prince had a guardian who came from a long line of family female guardians who have served the royal family for generations and generations.
“Jun congrats!” said Nino. Jun nodded in thank you’s as aiba and sho too congratulated him. The 5 princes heard applauses in the back ground. Their each and every guardian was there watching them. Mieko smiled in delight. They were watching the whole battle this whole time. Mizumi was had a frowning face. Ohno saw this face and went to her.
“how can you let him beat you?” said mizumi jokingly.
“well…Mieko-san taught Jun some new tricks. “ whined Ohno.
Mizumi laughed. She loved joking with Ohno-sama. “well, more practice with me and next time he won’t beat you.”
The Lunar guardians were master swordsmen. They have always taught the royal family, both male and female the arts of the sword. They would even teach the royal family some of their most held secrets, but really, those who learn from the guardian family would develop a technique of their own in due time.
“ah! Hanako-san!” Sho went over to Hanako.
“hai Sho-sama?”
“I was wondering if you can watch me dual Aiba to see if I gotten anybetter.” Sho was really eager to get Hanako-san’s praise. Hanako however laughed.
“sho-sama, I’ve been teaching and training you eversince we were kids. There’s no need for my praise. I’ve been praising you all my life my lord!”
Sho smiled with a hand behind his neck “ah that’s right. ^^ heheh well, at least watch me sensei.”
“eh? Now what did I tell you about calling me sensei Sho-sama?” Hanako bowed. “I only serve you as your personal guardian. My job is to protect you with my life. Nothing more, nothing less. Even if it means teaching you our family’s art of sword mastery, I’m happy to do so."
Sho bowed in return “thank you for your service Hanako-san. I consider you as my best friend. You have always been at my side.”
“Oi sho! Are we gonna dual or what?” Aiba called over waiting impaticiently.
“hai! Coming.” Sho went off and the dual started.
Hanako stood next to Sayuri; Aiba’s guardian. “Aiba-sama is gonna win you know that right?” whispered sayuri to Hanako.
Hanako scoffed. “No, I believe sho-sama will win.”
Sayuri laughed. “we shall see Hanako-san. We shall see.”
Chika came and interrupted the battle. “My Lords, the king would like to have a word with you.”
“what does father want Chika-san?” asked Nino. Chika was Nino’s guardian
Chika shook her head. “I don’t know exactly. But we must go now Nino-sama.”
They all nodded and left.
The 5 princes and their guardians when to see the king and queen…their mother and father in the throne room.
Ohno, the eldest and next in line for the throne bowed and spoke for them all. “you have summoned us father?”
The king nodded. “I have a quest for you and your brothers Ohno.”
the princes looked at eachother. “what’s wrong?” asked Aiba.
The queen spoke “you know that the Witch of Maou Mountain has ruled over our neighboring Akai kingdom for 3 decades now. “
They all nodded. They of course knew this.
“it seems like the witche’s evil is creeping to the small viliages nearing our kingdom. Your mother and I fear for our people and finally decided that she must be stopped.
“understood” said ohno “ but why us?”
“You know that our family has been learning swordsmenship from the Guardian family for generations.” Said the queen. “they are the best in the world and we are blessed to have them. We believe that since you have been trained by them personally, it’s best we send you, our sons, though it may be hard, we’re willing to do it if you want to.”
Silence filled the room for a minute. “yes. We will go.” Said sho. “hai!” agreed Aiba “for our kingdom!” said jun. “for the people!” said Nino. Ohno smiled “looks like we’re going. Ah is our guardians going too?”
“hai. They will.” Said the king.
“we will protect them with our lives your majesty” said Mizumi bowing along with the other guardians.
“it is our duty” said Hanako. “we are happy to be in your service” said Sayuri. “we’ll will not fail you your majesty, and my lords.” Said Chika. “And we’ll take out the evil witch of Maou Mountain for sure.” Said Meiko.
The king nodded. “very well. You may leave next thing in the morning. We’ll have the servants and knights prepare your things before your leave.
The 5 princes and guardians bowed and said in unison “yes, your majesty”
