huh?......w-where am I?

  ghoran's voice spoke out, but the only thing his eyes saw...was an endless abyss with no light anywhere.

  ghoran: what is this place?, h-how come its so dark?....how did I even...

  ghoran tried to move his body...but it failed its as if his body is not even there.

  ghoran: dammit! why can't I move a muscle?

  then ghoran started to yell.

  ghoran: HELLOOOO! IS SOMEBODY THERE?

  ......(but no one answers)

  ghoran sighed: well, that did not work....

  but then In the distance, ghoran spotted a silhouette of a figure standing.

  ghoran: wait?.....who is that?

  the figure's body then started to look more "Clearer", to reveal a tall young man wearing an all black outfit with short black hair, standing with his back turned on ghoran.

  ghoran: Hé, YOU! WHO ARE YOU?, W-WERE AM I?

  the figure then turned around and looked at ghoran..but the only thing ghoran could see was the figure's mouth...smiling. the figure's mouth moved trying to speak

  ???:....Ghoran.....Ghoran.

  ? (meanwhile)

  inside one of the academy's class was Ghoran, sleeping on his desk in class.

  ???: ghoran?......Ghoran?..........GHORAN!

  BAM!

  someone threw a book at Ghoran's head, causing him to fall of his chair

  Ghoran dizzy : H-HUH!?!?

  the hole class started to laughed while professor Fritz( ghoran's teacher) gave the most disappointing sigh.

  professor fritz : serious ghoran, AGAIN? how many times have I told you to not sleep in my class while I teach?

  Ghoran sleepy:i don't know....5 times?

  professor fritz pinching the bridge of his nose: urghhhh......Ghoran...if you're not going to pay attention, and if you don't want to be here, then at least leave my class before i-

  Ghoran blitz out the class the mere second after professor fritz finished his sentence,

  professor fritz sighing: and here I was told that that kid had the most potential out of anyone...but clearly I don't seem to see it.

  some minutes later...

  Ghoran was walking down the hallway of the academy a bit drowsy

  Ghoran: well, now that I have nothing to do, might as well relax by going to that new ramen place that just opened-

  but then suddenly, someone called out Ghoran name in the distance

  ???: YO, GHORAN!

  Ghoran: hm?

  Ghoran confusedly looked behind him, and to his surprise, a young boy with blue hair and glasses ran up to him

  ghoran: Leo! how is it going man?

  Leo: doing good! was just done with my class when I notice you walking.

  Ghoran: nice, so what have you been doing lately?

  Leo: well.....it's kind of weird actually.

  Ghoran: how come?

  Leo a bit more serious:...have you ever noticed....that some students did not show up lately to the academy?

  Ghoran: I mean....I guess I have notice some students not showing up...why you ask?

  Leo: well its-

  suddenly somebody Called Leo's name

  ???: LEOOOOO! your coming?

  the two boys looked behind them, and saw two girls waiting,

  Leo: AH! rumi! ria! sorry Ghoran I have to go, talk with you later!

  Ghoran: right, see ya!

  then Leo ran of to his group and walked away,

  ? one hour later.....

  Ghoran was walking down the streets of radiant garden just minding his business

  Ghoran: (yawning) well, at least i got some time to kill before realia and Corian classes are done, guess that's what you get for sleeping in class dreaming....speaking off....

  as Ghoran was walking further ahead...... he then was thinking back on that weird dream he had in his class.

  Ghoran deep in his thought's: what....was that dream even? who was that guy? and how did he knew my name?......oke, maybe THAT part was the teacher trying to wake me UP-

  then Ghoran bumped his head against somebody, and he on the ground.

  Ghoran: AUW! sorry, had my mind in a different place-

  but when Ghoran looked up...he was surprised that it was DREGAN! of all people he could have bumped into

  then both boys looked up...and recognize each other.

  Ghoran:.....Hey......

  dregan:......Hey.....

  ghoran then stood up, and helped dregan get back on his feet

  Dregan: thanks.

  Ghoran: it's nothing.

  dregan: sorry for bumping into you.....

  ghoran: meh...its fine.

  dregan: i...see

  it was an awkward silence for the two boys for like 5 long seconds, so long in fact for a tumbleweed too fly by with the wind.

  (GRUUUMMMMMBlllllllllleeeee)

  then ghoran's stomach began to growl.

  Ghoran: .....uhh, hey, I know we JUST met and all, but im going to get some food, so I see ya later!

  dregan: oh, yeah, I have something else to do to, see you la-

  (GRUUUMMMMMBlllllllllleeeee)

  then dregan's stomach began to rumble......

  dregan:...............

  ghoran:......uhhh, if you're also hungry, then want to come with me?

  dregan: actually, I was meeting up with somebody so I don't really have-

  (GRUUUMMMMMBlllllllllleeeee)

  dregan sighed:...........you wouldn't happen to know a place do you?

  ghoran smirking: hehe... i have JUST the place!

  ? a few minutes later....

  thew two boys were walking down the road to get something to eat.

  ghoran: hey I know it happened yesterday but...you we're not hurt by those idiots we're you?

  dregan: hm? oh, no i...i was fine.

  ghoran: ah, good. it thought they might gang up on you again later.

  dregan: ah. i see, but they never did it.

  (also dregan in his inner monologue smirking): BETTER YET, NEVER WILL BE ABLE TO! HEHEHE!

  ghoran: huh? you said something?

  dregan: huh? uhhhhh.....nothing!

  the two boys then finally arrived at a tiny ramen shop

  ghoran: alright this should be the place!

  dregan: looks small.

  ghoran: yeahhh, it just opened, but I was curious so I thought to try it out.

  dregan: well, alright then, lets eat.

  the two boys then sat down and order two ramen bowls and began to eat.

  dregan: by the way, out of curiosity.....why did you save me yesterday?

  ghoran confused: what? did you not want them to stop?

  dregan: not like that idiot, its just...was there a reason...for you to do it?

  ghoran even more confused: I don't know, I just..did not want you to get hurt.

  dregan: so you did it, only because you saw me get hurt?

  ghoran: what so wrong about that?

  dregan sighed:....no..its just I never really...thought people would do something like that.

  ghoran: hm?

  dregan: humans only do things for others either to help themselves, or because there is a reward for it, and nothing more.

  ghoran:...........

  dregan: so I was just surprised that you helped me, even when it had nothing to do with you

  ghoran smiling: well, guess I'm everything but a human huh?

  dregan: are you?

  ghoran: huh?

  dregan: I believed both humans and etharel descendants lived in radiant garden?

  ghoran: oh, well I never got an real explanation about it since it was hard to describe, so everyone just thinks I'm an etharel descendant.

  dregan confused: then why do you go to the academy if you think you're not an etharel?

  ghoran: well for one, they said I was most likely one, but it was difficult to figure out for some reason since every time I got tested, it just gave zero results, but with my skills and and physical strength higher the most humans, they just presume I was an etharel descended and recommended me to go to the academy. and for two, after me and realia met corian at the academy, I just decided to stay since they became my closest friends.

  dregan: hehe, sounds like a pain.

  ghoran smirking: OH it was!

  ? a few hours later

  the sun was setting down and the two boys were completely full after eaten the ramen, and were resting on a bench.

  ghoran completely stuffed: urhhhh....oke, eating 5 bowls of ramen was a BAD idea.

  dregan: you think!? I had like...7, you just have a small stomach.

  ghoran pouting: you don't have to brag about it, you know.

  dregan: cry about it~

  ghoran: i hate you.

  after some painful minutes of groaning in pain from eating to much, realia and corian then walked by...to see ghoran and dregan sitting on a bench in pain with confused faces,

  Corian: Ghoran... you good?

  ghoran: do I LOOK, oke to you?

  realia: honestly... you look even BETTER to me!

  ghoran: screw you, realia!

  realia: love you too, anyways... were about to go home... your coming, or are you going to call the bench you're new home?

  ghoran trying to stand up: yeah yeah... I'm coming.

  then ghoran looks at dregan to say goodbye

  ghoran: see ya dregan!

  dregan: oh! yeah, see ya....uhhhh.

  ghoran: oh right, the names ghoran!

  dregan: got it, see ya ghoran.

  and ghoran realia and corian walked of

  realia: okey, so please explain, why you were not there during break time ghoran?

  ghoran: uhhh, i...i got permission to leave early, sooooo.

  corian smirking: he was more likely sleeping in class and got kicked out.

  ghoran: THATS NOT TRUE!

  corian laughing: really? because Leo told me otherwise. but honestly with what I was told....I expected worse.

  ghoran: CORIAN! YOU SON OF A BI-

  corian then jumped on his hover board and flew off laughing, while ghoran flew right behind him trying to catch up in anger, with realia flying behind them.

  dregan was then alone sitting on the bench as the sun sets seeing the trio fly off.

  dregan: he saved me..only because he did not want me to get hurt....and nothing else.

  a genuine smile found its way on dregan's face as he looks at the orange sky.

  ? a few minutes later....

  dregan was walking down the night, feeling pretty good about himself

  dregan: well, this day turned out to be more interesting then i thought, and honesty that tiny tent had some really good ramen, who knew humans could made such good food.

  but as dregan walked further in the street...his mind turned to something else

  dregan: though...I should properly avoid hanging out with that ghoran guy, despite him being the first person of this world to be nice to me....I can't lose focus on our mission......though, maybe if im able to...I could potentially have him-

  ???: uhh...my lord? is everything alright?

  dregan snapped back to reality and confused he looked infront of him to see lunaria a bit worried.

  dregan: heh? lunaria?!? why are you-

  but then dregan realised he had arrived at his apartment, with lunaria standing at the entrance of the door.

  dregan inner monologue: ohhhhh...did not realize I was home.

  dregan to lunaria: uhhh, yeah, everything is alright, I was just thinking a bit, thats all.

  lunaria confused: oh, I see, so I presume everything went well when you went on to meet sir kaizo?

  dregan:..............

  dregan THEN remembered the hole reason he was out in the FIRST place.

  dregan inner monologue: CRAAAAAP! I REMEMBER! I WAS SUPPOSE TO MEET UP WITH KAIZO ABOUT SOME INFO HE GOT! HOW THE HELL DID I FERGOT ALL ABOUT IT?!?

  dregan panicking: ooohhh..... uhhh, it....went great, you see-

  lunaria dead plain: you forgot didn't you?

  dregan: yeahhhhh.....

  lunaria sighed.....and grabbed a letter from behind her and gave it to dregan,

  lunaria: here this should explain everything I hope.

  confused dregan took the letter, opens it, and started to read it....

  dregan: wait....this letter...its from-

  my lord, its been a while, its me kaizo, I have some valuable information regarding...the tomb of the etharels!...and the Jū Ni Skirmishers!
