you read outlout , you felt a familiar hand on your shoulder , you turned . seeing shuichi give you a soft , yet kind smile . you smiled back . his warm grin pushing the fear in you to the back of your mind .ย you studied the cavern ahead , four different directions to go , and there were four people in your party .
this all started 2 months ago , when the leader of the demon organization DICE kidnapped soon to be queen kaede akamatsu , your sister . you would never admit this but , you were slightly jealous of her - she was attractive , smart , talented and thoughtful . you were but a shadow of that , even though you had some resentment for her perfection you jumped at the chance to save her , her friends , shuichi saihara , himiko yumeno and maki harukawa asked you to join their quest to save the soon to be crowned queenย .ย
the four of you had faced the swamp , retrieved items for the greatest inventor , fought against the unbeatable martial artist and more things like that ,ย all leading up to now , the last threat before you could reunite with your beloved sister . โ four different directions , four of us . that โ s not a coincidence . โ maki said , scanning the cavern . โ they โ re also different sizes , so himiko should take that one , i โ ll take this one , shuichi can take that one and maki can take that one ! โ you exclaimed , pointing at the selective ones . โ right ! hey , himiko could you cast a light spell ? โ shuichi asked , yumeno nodded , โ wait himiko ! โ you shouted, himiko looked at you confused , and so did everyone else in the party . โ i think the cavern โ s enchanted , i sense a strong dark magic , do you too ? โ you asked , even though you were anything but a mage you still felt a connection to magic of all sorts , the only thing that made you value yourself - your magical abilities , weak abilities , but abilities nonetheless .
yumeno closed her eyes , tapping into her magical energy . โ yeah , i do . . it โ s draining my magic . . โ she said dozily , feeling weaker by the second .ย โ we should move quickly . โ shuichi commented , maki nodded in agreement . wrapping her fingers around her sword taking a deep breath , staring at what was awaiting her in the cavern .ย
She took a step , the dirty ground absorbing her foot . she took another step and so , she went into the cave . with no hesitation , shuichi followed in pursuit , eager to save the princess , he ventured fully into the cave .
ย โ be careful himiko , okay ? โ you hugged yumeno , she hugged you back ; over the coarse of this crazy adventyreyou had become close friends with everyone in the party , himiko being the closest friend you made , both of you having a connection to the magical energy of the world , you slightly envied her , being able to cast spells . even though you were arguably an important part of the party you still felt completely useless , being the only one who wasn โ t an ultimate , being the plain one .
ย gripping her staff , himiko skipped into the mysterious cave , her small figure disappearing and joining the darkness in seconds , all that remained was you , y / n akamatsu - the sister of the queen and ultimate pianist , the dullย one .
ย ย โ c โ mon y / n you can do this , you can do this . โ you muttered to yourself , , putting a foot infront of you and taking a step , and then another step . now at the dge of the cavern , your hands and the front of your face becoming one with the darkness , departing from the dim light .ย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โ i . . i can do this . . โ
