only a breeze meat him. “Why take her from me? What did I do to have this thrust upon me?” he asked looking at the ground, his eyes watered. “My boy, don’t be mad at what you do not understand. Be joyful at the thought of living and becoming what you’re meant to be.” A voice sounded in his head. “Who are you?” Sorrow asked out loud. “I am something that you cannot understand; I am here to help you. A very strong evil is after you and your gift from the one before you. You need to defend yourself and everything from him, but you cannot become strong enough on your own.” A massive surge went through Sorrow’s body increasing his power dramatically. “Now, when you take part in the celebration new power will be unlocked to you, this power is called the Dragon’s Eye.” The voice faded.


Courting a Princess

Sorrow looked at the cloths that Master Sage left for him. They were jet black. The shirt had only one sleeve, the pants was like a kilt, but it was very silky, and a mask laid on a table. “You can put that on, but we need to get you your hair cut and put a little color into it.” Master Sage said. The mask covered his nose leaving his eyes uncovered. The cloths fit perfectly; Sorrow felt weird wearing the half dress.
His hair was cut to a little shorter then shoulder length; his bangs went down to his nose; half of his bangs were dyed red giving it color. Sorrow’s new look gave him a scary, but powerful look to him. “Now you are ready to court the Princess.”
Princess Siècle sat on steps leading to a small pond, a fountain poured water into it; lily pads floated in it. Sorrow walked up to Siècle, he bowed a little bit, and held out his hand the way Master Sage showed him. She smiled and took his hand standing up; he kissed it. “You know what you are doing, have you done this before?” she asked with a giggle. “To be honest, no I haven’t.” Sorrow said pulling her into his arms; they started to slow dance. “You look different when those cloths and that hair cut. I like it better than your other look. She said as they danced. “Yeah, Master Sage gave me this look; she said I couldn’t court looking like I used to.” Sorrow said. They sat on a bench looking at the small pond; time just seemed to fly by before another person came up wanting to court; he held his hand out. “I already been courted, I’m not doing it anymore. The man walked off steaming. “Really?” Sorrow asked shocked. “Yes. Daddy might have told you, but I like you a lot and I have since we were introduced when you first came here.” Siècle said; she was blushing a little bit. “I have to get ready for tonight; I had a lot of fun with you today.” Siècle stood up and walked around the house.
Sorrow walked back to Master Sage; she sat on the stump with her eyes closed. “How’d it go?” She asked opening one eye. “Nothing went wrong; I did everything you told me to and she loved it. She asked if I had courted before.” He said. “Good, good. Tonight is the celebration and her birthday, so it has two meanings. One meaning is only to you for some of your power will be unlocked, and you will become the keeper of the five locked five worlds. After tonight you start advanced training in using your Power Trait. It is very important for you to have some mastery of it before you start to gather the Blade of True Power. Only you and the ones in your blood line can hold and use this blade to its full power. If someone other than you, or I holds the blade, it becomes as a normal one; not good for anything but taking the life’s of none since.” Master Sage explained. “What does the Dragon’s Eye do anyway?” Sorrow asked. “It enhances your power to very high levels; it also lets you see in different eyes. The Dragon’s Eye also makes bloodlust stronger and your rage heaver then what it is now. A small thing can anger you while using it. Only when you truly master it, you will feel these effects of your Power Trait; every Power Trait has its good and bad effects. You’ll understand better when you feel the power for yourself.”
Night came; people moved quickly through the streets as they gathered the final perorations for Siècle’s birthday. “When your power is unlocked she’ll be there, and she’ll be the one to kiss you once your eyes change to the eyes of power, because when that happens the power is still asleep. A person that has your heart even a little has to kiss you to truly awaken that power; don’t ask me why it’s up to the kiss. I live by the rules, I didn’t make them.” Master Sage explained walking to the sight of the party and celebration.
“We have gathered here today for two reasons; one is to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and for the great celebration!” the king’s voice was lost in the cheering. “Siècle would like to say something before we start one of the two celebrations.” Princess Siècle stepped up. “I would like to say, that I have been courted and I have picked the man I want to be with.” The people went silent. “The man is Sorrow.” Gasps went through the crowd. “He’s not old enough!” multiple people yelled out. “He doesn’t have the experience needed! What if he becomes king?” another yelled. “Everyone needs experience; do you think King Fellnor had the experience needed when he became king at a young age? He was no older than Sorrow himself; look at what kind of king he is! He is a wonderful king.” Elken said stepping up. . No one said anything to object that statement. "She has made her choice now we have to live with it." Elken said.
The first couple hours were Siècle's party; Sorrow spent most of the party with her. People came up to them giving them their blessings, and presents.
"They make a big deal about us being a couple don't they?" Sorrow asked after one of the people left. "Yeah, I guess it's because you're my first boyfriend and all." she said.
Music begun to play, the crowd went silent. "The celebration is about to start." Siècle said. "Today, thousands of years ago the five worlds became to be. Now that the King was taking over no world as escaped his dark grasp. There is a hero among us as I talk now, his name is Sorrow. After this great celebration his life of power will really take off, and grow meaning." King Fellnor said his voice ringing out.
A group of five people walked into the crowd, they split to let the women to walk. They circle around Sorrow whispering a chant. "Out of the darkness will come a hero, out of the chaos will come peace, out of darkened will come a new leader of the worlds." The girls had a star tattoo on their left shoulder; the blue on started to glow.
"Sorrow, embrace the stars as they represent the five worlds."
Sorrows left shoulder started to burn as the star came of her shoulder and melted it's self to his shoulder blade. Power flooded him almost instantly. Blue for the Land of Oceans.” Sorrow broke out in a sweat as the star stopped glowing; steam from the star lifted into the air sweat touched it. Next a girl with red hair walked up, she stopped next to the first one. “The red star represents the Land of War.” Like the last one it started to glow. As it transferred its self to his skin rage took over, making Sorrow want to kill everybody around him. That time Sorrow’s energy discharged twisting slowly around him; a third woman stepped up.
Two of the five stars laid on Sorrow’s back, the blue on his left shoulder blade, and the red one rested next to his right kidney. “This green star is the world we live on, the Land of the Forest. With this star, more power will come to you. The first stage of the Dragon’s Eye will open to you.” The green star didn’t hurt or fill Sorrow with rage; it was quite soothing as it lay fusing with his skin of his right shoulder blade. Immense power rushed through his veins as Sorrow’s eyes started to change. The brown turned into a blood red color; next his pupil changed growing narrow like a cat’s eye.
“You know have three of the five stars, the last two will happen at the same time. This is to give you the tear drops for your eyes, with that the rest of your locked power. However you still need to kiss someone you hold dear to you.” Master Sage said as she got close to me. “Are you ready?” she asked. “Yeah.” Sorrow responded between breaths.
. A white star and a black star started to glow. The middle of Sorrow’s back started to sting; the skin on his right shoulder blade felt like it was being peeled off inch by inch.
Sorrow was left gasping as the stars stopped glowing. A black ring formed around the five stars, the ring had four spots where it jutted out like spikes. When Sorrow opened his eyes he noticed that his vision was different and that he felt stronger, but for some reason a rage was building up within him. His eyes were blood red with a narrowed pupil; two black tear drops were in each eye. The tear drops were on the opposite side of the pupil. “Behold, the Dragon’s Eye!” the crowd went into a roar.
Siècle walked up to Sorrow reaching for his hand. She took it helping him up. Once Sorrow stood on his feet she kissed him. At that instant it felt like his power was unlocking all over again. When the kiss broke Sorrow stumbled back falling to his knees; his whole body shook. “During this great celebration two wonderful things has happened.” King Fellnor said. His voice ringing out. “My daughter Siècle has chosen my heir to my throne and the person who she wants to be with. The second thing is that our future hero has gained the five star tattoo and his power trait. His birthright, the Dragon’s Eye!” the king said raising his voice.
Blood vs Blood
Over the next couple of weeks Sorrow grew, not only as a person but as someone with a deadly purpose. “Sorrow, I think you can now understand where the ability to use our energy comes from.” Master Sage said. “In your bloodstream there is energy that comes from your body, mainly your heart. This type of energy is called Blood Energy. Every person has a different amount and it is not built the same. Like us for an example; we are close in the blood line, that means. Are Blood Energy is a lot alike but yet, so very different. When we want to use a technique we must use a certain amount of the energy, or otherwise known as a fixed amount of Blood Energy required for each technique.” “Ok. That is kind of confusing.” Sorrow said. Master Sage sighed. “Ok. To use a technique you must use energy.
