  " 'We have come from the future,' The older boy tells me, his gaze not leaving mine as something flashes in his eyes. 'To prevent you from leaving us,' "

"You are strong, mama,"

I cannot help but smile when he says that. "You know a lot about this," He continues while facing towards me when he gets back on his feet.

"You will get it soon enough,"

"Yeah we know how good she is, get on with it, Merric," I hear Donnie's hushed voice say. "Show her how good you are, humph,"

I turn my eyes towards him and he crosses his arms as Ronnie ignores the things he is doing next to him.

"Hey! Stop talking to my mama like that..." I turn my eyes back to Merric and he is watching Donnie closely. He looks slightly intimidated by him but is holding his expression steady. His long blond bangs slightly cover his right eye.

Donnie flashes him a stern look with his green eyes, "You just don't understand, kid," He averts his gaze away when he sees mine on his. "I can speak to her how I wish..." He lowers his voice as he says this, drifting off when he says the last word.

"You don't even know her!" Merric attempts to snap back towards him.

This seems to tug a chord within Donnie's heart as his eyes widen and then softens for just a moment before he masks it once again. "You don't say things like that to me, kid," He shoots Merric another unsympathetic gaze, "You just don't understand! Don't know what it is like to lose someone special to you!" As he says that, he uncrosses his arms and throws them down at his sides, clenching them forcefully.

Ronnie turns his eyes towards Donnie as he says that, with an apprehensive look in his dark purple eyes. I follow Ronnie's gawk as he glances down at Donnie's hands for a second and notice a purple book.

Purple? I thought it was a red tome? Wait...

I look back up at Donnie's eyes and they look abnormal... altered. Is he crying?

Donnie quickly turns his stare to mine and narrows his jade eyes at me, taking away the illusion of them being moist.

His gaze turns irritated as he looks at me, "What? Do you want to spar with me? Let's go..." He clutches the tome tighter in his hand. Wait... it is red again. What is happening? Why is he acting so strange now? Who is he?

"S—sure," I say to him as he approaches me from the shadows. "Stand next to your father, Merric," I shoot Ike a strange glance and he returns the same look. I turn back to him and we glare at each other for a few moments.

I know what I saw. He knows dark magic. I just know it. You cannot fool me, boy.

I put on a sassy grin on my face and stare at Donnie, waiting for him to react to me. He keeps looking at me, "Humph, what is that look for?"

I compellingly place my hands on my hips. "Do you take me for a fool, boy?"

Donnie's eyes widen as he continues to study my face.

Why did that make him look worried all of a sudden? Is he hiding something? The fact that he knows dark magic perhaps?

"You practice dark magic... don't you?"

He raises his tome he holds in his hand and narrows his stare once more, allowing me to get a good look at it. It fluctuates from red to purple right before my eyes.

He used a dark magic spell. To fool the eye.

"Very good, Star. That was an easy one for you, huh?"

Now it is my turn to widen my eyes at him. What does he mean by that? Easy one? He is toying with me. He says these things like he knows who I am and acts as though I should know who he is. Who are you?

I feel slightly frustrated as I focus my stare onto his. He quietly chuckles at me before saying, "Let us begin,"

He is swift like lightning.
