"For this, your punishment will be expulsion." I stared at my father in shock, legs shaking in incontrollable anger as I took a look at the book that I held in my hand. It was one of the books from the forbidden section. 

     I did not think about the academy rules at that time as I wanted to learn magic without the support of my instructors and my classmates as they all hated me. My instructors were all nice to my classmates, always giving advice but for me, they just tell me to go out of their staff rooms without second thought. I went to the library and at that time I met a silver haired boy which at that time I did not know he was Aragorn. He was reading a book about the history of magic of the human and the elf kingdoms.  I went to meet him and at that time, he did not turn me away instead he gave me tips to improve my magic. So, we both became friends, running to the training room to train our magic, running to the cafeteria, laughing as we went. I never knew at that time that someone was watching us.

     After my second year, I went to the restriction section to learn more about my magic and I learn there are combination of some elements like combination of fire and water which is mist, combination of light and dark is twilight and that the twilight element is the strongest. I began to borrow the book and train my magic in all elements and combine my light an dark magic to twilight magic until Aragorn found out about this. He prevented me to go to the restricted section two weeks later.

     "Aaron! Listen to me! You will get expelled if our instructors found out about this! Plus as your friend, I don't want you to go on this dark path! Please!" But I never listened. In the end.....

---Headmaster's Study---

     "Aaron, one of your instructors found out that you are in the restricted section of the school's library. For this, you will be expelled and as your father, I will no longer call you my son." I stared at my father in shock as tears stream down my face as my father dismiss me and that the instructors gently coax me out of my father's study and out of the academy. I survived on my own for one year, not even trusting anyone, stealing necessities and sleeping in alleys trying to dodge the angry owners of the things I steal as my heart was filled with darkness and revenge. But this continues until I was 13 when I met Number 1. He was like the sun, so bright and filled with light that I was blinded by it. 

     "Hey. Why are you crying there? C'mon, I'll help you." Bright light filled my heart at that time and I felt that I could trust him and I did. I trained under him for three years and under these three years we also went for missions. We always treated each other like brothers, both willing to give up our lives to protect one another.

     "Aaron? Are you okay?"

     "No."

     "What's wrong?" He scooted closer to me and I sniffled.

     "Nothing."

     "Come on, tell me!" 

     "Just an old memory" Yup, my happy childhood memory had became a nightmare as I couldn't forget that time that my father had betrayed me and cast me out like trash.

     "Aaron, forget about that already. We are brothers right? We can make new memories together." I make a small smile and Allen who was Number 1 grinned.

     "That smile looks so cute on you Aaron! Now tell me what did you have a nightmare about?" I stared at the ground, frowning.

     "That time when I used to play airplane with my dad, the headmaster of Astroniara Magic Academy. We were both laughing and having fun when everything turned dark and the words that my dad said before he kicked me out of the academy keep on echoing until I woke up. I....I....Allen, I-I am scared......"I feel hands around me as I trembled and I felt calm because I knew who was holding me. 

     "Aaron, I will always protect you, you know that. You are always my little brother." I nodded in his embrace, feeling sleepy and yawning. He chuckled and placed me on his bed in his room and stood up to leave but stopped as I pulled at his shirt. 

     "Allen, sleep with me please. I am scared." He smiled and cuddle me in his arms as I feel asleep and he gently pulled away from me and tucked in the blanket.

     Well, the next day the other members teased that he and I were a couple but we both denied it saying that we both were brothers. And then in my third year, I had to go on my individual mission while being trained under Allen who was Number 1 and that's how I met Amelia and Hikaru.
