Part 1: The Magician
Rin's POV:
This is such a frail world, A cruel world.Having war because of some silly reasons.
I was wandering difficulty around this abandoned city. This serious illness I have makes it difficult for me to walk properly.
I looked around, searching for a place to stay. This is a city filled with silence, a city isolated from the war.
This city..of loneliness....
yeah.... this place is for me....after all
I'm a frail girl having an empty dream of happiness
in this world of absolute solitude.
After a long search for a place to stay. I found an old house which felt cozy enough for me to rest. As I went inside, the place was filled with dust, abandoned furnitures, and some cracked and old picture frames.
'Seems like a happy family once lived in this place...I wonder what happened to them.'
I stayed at the highest place in the house, the attic, and stayed right at the corner and cried.
I remembered it again...my terrible memory
Is it fake? Or not?
Why is it I cant trust my memories
It feels unreal..
I leaned on the wall at my side as tears fell out from my eye...
Why am I even still here..alive?
But suddenly, something caught my eye...
It was an old mirror...
'Rin....'Rin.....'
It was calling for me....I can hear it.....the mirror is just lonely, just like me....we are the same... I slowly walked towards the mirror and gently touched it.
"Feeling lonely too?.." I spoke as I gently stroked my hand on the glass.
"Hello there young maiden!." A boy suddenly apparead in the mirror out of nowhere and startled me. "I'm Len!"He smiled.
"Wha-!!" I stepped one foot backwards, unable to speak as the boy appeared.
He smiled at me with a face which bore a striking resemblance to mine.
"Oh-! I'm sorry, Did I scare you? I'm really sorry" The boy who introduced himself as Len apologized.
Not knowing what to do, I also introduced myself in response. Even after those years of loneliness I spent in this world, I am still aware that introducing myself would be the proper response when someone introduces himself to me.
“Ummmm.... I’m Rin” I replied with a smile too. I'm not even sure if my smile looked real enough for it has been awhile I've talked to someone this way.
The boy who introduced himself as Len laughed in response." Rin! What a beautiful name! Why don't you take a seat then we'll have a loooooonnggg talk~ You see..I'm also feeling lonely~ How bout' you be my friend-- please~?" He asked me in a cheerful voice.
Wow...He said he is feeling lonely but... maybe despite of his loneliness he still smiles cheerfully like this... It kinda makes me feel jealous
I nodded my head in agreement to his offer.
"I have been really lonely too.." I replied.
He laughed " So we do have something in common! Hmmm.. Let's see...How bout' I'll tell you things about myself"
He told me everything about himself, about the place he live, about the people around his city.
I was surprised that he was willing to tell me that much..
“I live in the world of magic, or in other words, the word across this mirror... I can grant wishes too..as I mentioned, I had been a lonely person, it must be a fate meeting you.. People here in my world...I find them cruel and selfish since all they do is think for themselves...” Silence occupied the air as he finished.
He must understand my feelings.
I think we can get along with each other.
Yet, my mind was also mixed up with questions:
“Did I met him before?”
“Is he real?”
“Am I dreaming?”
I really don’t know..... my head spun as he was talking to me...
Things are happening so suddenly...
All this times I had always been lonely... everyone hates me and they stay away from me...
That’s why I was really find this weird ... It really feels like i met him before... somewhere...
It seems like something is really missing...
“ Ummm.... I don’t know how to say this but... it feels like i met you before...did we?” I asked him.
Len replied in silence, but we was still wearing the smile on his face. The question I asked turned the atmosphere akward.
“Ummm... It's alright...you don’t really have to answer that question....it just suddenly came into my mind...that's why... I’m sorry” I apologized.
..maybe I asked something I shouldn't have...
But then....he replied.
“No need to be sorry, after all, I felt the same,.. This must be fate” he replied to me with that smile again.
I really don’t understand....why is he so kind to a frail girl like me.. No one has ever treated me this way. I was own outcast.
Len and I were really getting along together as time was running by.
He asked me questions, told me stories and jokes which all never failed to make me smile and laugh.
He does really know how to cheer me up...
"Oh, Rin, I think it's getting late" Len reminded me as he glanced at the window beside me.
He was right.. It was dark already..
"But.. let me tell you one last story before you rest...
Once upon a time, there was a treacherous kingdom and reigning at the top a princess of age fourteen. Luxurious and gorgeous furnishings ,The servant had a very similar face
Her favourite horse's name was Josephine, everything all belonged to her
If money became insufficient ,She'd exploit it from the ignorant people
Those who go against her, she’ll purge to put an end to
The tyrant princess loved the opposite side of the sea's person of blue.
Though he had been taken to the neighbouring country's woman of green at first sight
The princess obsessed with jealousy ,One day summoned the cabinet minister
And in a quiet voice said "Destroy the country of green"
Many houses were being reduced to ashes ,Many lives were being lost
The sorrow of the suffering people ....Did not reach the princess
The evil princess had to be brought down finally, the people stand up
Leading the crowd was a swordswoman of red armour
In the end, the palace was surrounded and even the vassals escaped
The lovely, attractive princess was finally caught
The time of the execution was three p.m. the time when the church bell sounds
That person who was called the princess, What are they thinking alone in prison?
Finally, that time arrived, The bell that announced the end rang
She wouldn't give an eye to things like the populace
She was an evil princess” He finished story
Len gave a sad look which made me feel upset too.
I don't know why but somehow I can feel the tragic atmosphere of the story..
Then he continued,
“But you know? Actually the one that was killed wasn’t the princess, it was the servant who had a similar face with the princess... they switched identity as the angered people was coming...Then the princess who was once evil and cruel became a gentle girl for she became a lonely girl just like you right now...” Len finished with a sadden smile.
I asked a question out of curiosity..
“Where have you heard this story?”
“It's from someone very close to me before...she was my only friend and the only person who made me happy” He replied.
“That girl must be very precious to you right?” I told him with a kind smile.
He must have a challenging life too.. I wonder what happened in his life
But still I’m confused on why he ended the day with this sad story, he was really trying to cheer me up earlier by telling me jokes..now he's telling me this story..... so i asked him
“ Why are you telling me this kind of story?, I mean..earlier you told me happy stories, funny ones, touching ones too...but..for the last you told me a tragic one..it is weird... when people are about to go to sleep.. usually they read or tell happy stories.” I asked him
But then he just smiled and said
“So, you felt it......That’s something you need to find out Rin”
LEN’s POV
Rin, seems like you don’t remember, but I still remember everything.
I know you since a long time ago, yeah, a very long time ago
When you kept hatred and never showed love
Now, after what happened, seems like you have forgotten...
That you were the evil princess
The very last thing I remembered was
~FLASHBACK~
We switched identity with Rin
The knight caught me
The plan succeed... They thought I was the evil princess
Just as the clock tower alarmed at 3’o clock
I said my last words
“It's snacks time” That was the princess’ favourite sentence
Then everything turned black...
I closed my eyes and opened again...
but when I opened my eyes...I was in a village full of people.. I was surprised, as I remembered I died already right?
I noticed..The atmosphere was weird, so I asked one of people who walked by
“What is these place called?”
“ This is the Magic City, of course people who are here are the only ones who have magic.. Are you new around here?.. It seems like I've never seen your face before”
"Well...yeah..."
"Enjoy your stay here in Magic City..." Then the person walked away.
I just noticed , I was wearing a robe... Like a magician. Then I realized...
I was in another world..weird isn’t it?
In this world I learned my magic.. My magic grants wishes..
But it only works three times on the same person, I can even do it to myself
So, that’s why I made this wish
“I wish that I can see on what’s happening to Rin”
Then, I felt relieved when I found out she was fine..
Ever since then.. I looked over her
RIN’s POV
Calling me first time by my name.... that made me happy
But..something I need to find out? That’s interesting
I’ll try finding that out.
For the very first time.....in this part of my life...I felt this happy... he was so kind to me that no one did that to me before... his warm smile and voice... It makes me happy...
I don’t know why...but until now...Len....I still have the feeling that I've met you before...
For all these feelings are all familiar...my memories are jumbled so I really don’t know whether I've met you before or not..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I felt so tired and fell asleep
Urgh..I’m dreaming right??
Why am I here? Infront of these people
Why am I in a big castle?
Urghhh..!! my head!! It hurts...
Wait... What’s this place?
The castle?? Its ruined..........
Urghhh...my head again...
MEMORIES??
Wait.... I AM A PRINCESS???
THE REVOLUTION.....I remember it I ordered something which cause the revolution but...
Me? A princess?? I still cant believe the piece of my lost memory..
Hahah! What a funny dream...
