Throne of the Grand Magus: The beginning

Although Arya was being healed, he felt as if his wounds had gotten deeper and all the energy in his body had suddenly been drained from him.

The yellow-haired boy looked at Arya closely and asked his teammates "Is this a boy or a girl? I can't tell whether he is handsome, or she is pretty." said the boy.

"Why? Are you planning on courting her if it's a girl?" asked one of his teammates in a male voice.

"What the?" whispered Arya with what little strength he had left, as the yellow-haired boy turned to his teammates.

"Interesting, he or she is still conscious." said the yellow-haired boy.

"We don't have time for this, let's go check on the other two." said one of the two other hooded figures in a female voice as they ran to check up on Marya and Calder.

"A-an elf." said the yellow-haired boy as his face reddened slightly.

"What, don't tell me you have a weird elf fetish?" asked the other hooded figure as he removed his hood, revealing him to be a green-haired boy, with light ebony skin.

"Shut up Sheela." said the yellow-haired boy as Sheela had a wide grin on his face.

"The innocent Trent finally has a crush," said Sheela, making fun of his comrade.

"Stop messing around you two. Let's heal them and get back to Yuuki and Averos. As powerful as they are, they can't handle a Ryen by themselves." said the only person that still had their hood on, as she removed it. Revealing her to be a black-haired girl, who would've passed as an Asian on earth.

The two became silent and the yellow-haired boy quickly healed the other two. Although they were healed they were still unconscious, so Trent and Sheela picked the two up. Of course, Trent picked up Marya, and Sheela, who seemed to have a bigger build, picked up the bigger Calder with ease.

"What's going on?" asked Arya as his vision was slowly turned blurry.

"It seems your luck hasn't run out." said the dark figure as Arya lost consciousness.

"And what about him?" asked Sheela as he pointed to the now unconscious Arya.

"What do you mean what about him? Do you expect me to carry him? I don't even know why Yuuki wants us to help these people. If they can't fend for themselves then they don't deserve to go to Belgard." said Abby in an annoyed voice, before the blue hooded figure landed next to her as the tree he was on was burned ablaze.

"Abiyama, what are you doing?" asked the blue hooded figure as he removed his hood. Revealing him to be a rather handsome young man with jet black hair. Based on his facial features he too would have passed as an Asian on earth, probably of Japanese descent.

"B-brother. I asked you not to call me that!" said Abby as her cheeks reddened. 

If anyone else were watching they would've found the scene funny. Four kids were simply standing talking while one of them dealt with a fire Ryen alone, as if their lives were not in danger.

"Where's Averos?" asked Sheela.

"Aww, worried about your sister?" teased Trent.

"Princess Averos is slowing down the Ryen. It seems this person managed to deal some damage to the beast, but even then it won't be possible for us to hunt it down," said Yuuki as he picked Arya up.

"Let's go." said Yuuki before creating a path of ice and chanted,  "Oh mighty wind, grant us a blessing. A breeze or a storm, a power worth testing," causing him to glide through the ice at a very fast speed.

The others in the group followed his lead by chanting the same spell. Once the ebony girl realized her teammates were gone she spoke to the Ryen.

"You were a worthy warrior. I hope we can fight once again when I grow stronger." said the girl as she used yet another gust of wind to push the Ryen away.

The girl did this without chanting, meaning she could silent cast. What's more, the gust was strong enough to push the injured Ryen back, saying a lot about the power of her spells.

After doing this she used air magic to shoot herself into the sky and glided away.

"Hwwwrrrrrww" Growled the Ryen as he realized that they had saved Arya and his group as well.

"I wish I could get revenge on the boy for doing this to me, but that's not why I'm here." thought the Ryen as it spoke into an amulet in its ear.

"Eight people and all eight of them passed. Though three of them were lucky enough to be saved by a group. It seems that there are people who have figured out the reason for the forest." said the Ryen.

"Or perhaps their family members just told them. After all, the people in that group were all part of royalty." said the man in the amulet as the Ryen limped away looking for more people.

"I think we've gone far enough," said Yuuki as Averos caught up to them.

"So what do we do with them?" asked Averos as she landed beside Yuuki.

Yuuki looked to be about 13 years old and was about 1.56 m tall. Atheros looked to be the same age but was 1.58m.

"Shouldn't we just leave them on a tree or something?" asked Trent, he also looked to be 13 years old but was 1.54m.

"So you want to leave your elf here as well?" asked Sheela who was 1.57m, causing Trent's face to turn red again.

"An elf?" asked Yuuki as he dropped Arya and went to look at Marya.

"Don't tell me you have an elf fetish too Yuuki?" asked Sheela, surprised by Yuuki's interest.

"Nevermind. I thought she was part of the  Ai Vahish, but it seems she isn't," replied Yuuki.

"How can you tell?" asked Averos as she looked at Arya with interest.

"The  Ai Vahish have a tattoo signifying that they are part of the elite group, she doesn't," replied Yuuki as Averos looked at Arya closely.

"I'm rather confused about this one," said Averos as she peeked through Arya's tattered shirt and saw his lean body.

"He seems to be strong, though his face is rather..." said Averos.
