[ D e c k ] Chapter 1

In a flash of light your world went spinning by, scenes of your life zoom past you. Calling this death would be wrong for it’s more like a new beginning. You hear voices calling out your name; screaming, yelling and crying for you. You try to scream but you already know you can’t.

                Why is this happening to you? Because you were choose to play. Why now? It’s  your turn. Where are you going? You already know, don’t you?

                You awake in a dark room somewhere you have never been. You hear mumbles and whines around you; you’re with a group of other people. You arms and legs have been tied up, seems like running away isn’t a choice. Suddenly the door sings open and 2 dark figures walk in. It takes you awhile to adjust to the newly discovered light that’s shiny upon their faces. It was a girl and a boy, both wearing a half white mask. You look closely and see a bright red symbol on their masks; the 2 and 3 of diamonds. They’re both smiling a sly grin as they near the tied up bunch; a wave of whimpers and cries circulated.

“Who the hell are you 2 and what are you planning to do?!” A voice shouted you looked to see who it was. It was a boy about your age, you sighed in pity.

“Are you stupid? I’m the 2 of diamonds. It's rude to ask a lady like that.” The girl snorted, her voice was rather high and annoying.

“And I’m the 3 of diamonds, or shall I say your worst nightmare?” The boy said and fired a gun, which shot the boy; he didn’t say anything after that. The masked girl laughed and laughed, there was a silence when she laughed.

“You bunch of blank cards are at our hideout, don’t get too cozy cause you’ll be going soon.” She said as she raised her gun and loaded it.

The situation now all made sense. We were captured when we entered DECK, it was an easy job because we're newbies. Now they're going to kill us; we're easy prey.

“Welcome to the DECK.” She said as she aimed right at my head. I closed my eyes shut and braced for impact.

BANG.

I heard the shot but I didn’t feel anything, did she miss? I slowly opened my eyes and was surprised. The bullet didn’t come for her gun; it came from behind and shot the gun out of her hand. The 2 masked diamonds spun around in surprise.

“Who dare shoot at the 2 of diamonds? Are you picking a fight?” Her voice squeaked as she said ‘you’.

There were 2 new players another masked girl and boy. I squinted at their mask as I read their symbols; the Queen and Jack of hearts. The 2 remained silent but continued walking in.

“Hey! I’m talking to you, don’t ignore me.”

The queen didn’t even look at the squawking diamond, she just simply look at us and said with an icy voice that spent chills right to your bones but had such a soothing ring to it.

“Hand over your blank cards and leave.”

I couldn’t help myself but to laugh at the sqauker's reaction, let’s just say I’ve never seen a human face twist that way. She was about to leap on the queen but was stopped by her partner. With the gun still in his hand he spoke with an intimidating voice.

“And what if we don’t? They’re our prey, you have no right to just walk in and take them. You’re not getting anyone without getting through me.”

The queen didn’t seem to be listening at all, she was staring at me; it felt like she was reading my thoughts and fears. I tried to avoid her eye contact but my eyes always darted back to meet her gaze. For a second I thought she smiled but perhaps it was a smirk. The jack muttered something to the queen who shook her head in response. She whispered something to the jack and waved him off with a soft smile on her face. The jack sighed as he shrugged; taking out his gun. Seeing this angered the diamonds. Before both of them could say anything the jack spoke to them, his voice similar to the queen’s made me quiver in fear.

“You annoy me, shut up.” With that the jack fired at the 3 of diamonds, who fell flat. The remaining diamond reminded me of a deer in headlights; wide-eyed and was ready to get hit. Before she could even scream, the jack moved with lightning speed and was in front of her.

“You’re messing with the wrong cards today. Remember this face, for it’ll always hunt you and you can never win.” A blur was all that I could see as the jack moved his arm. Fresh blood splattered all over the wall and half of the jack. A whimper could be heard from her as she slumped down. In one of the jack’s hand holds a dark red object dripping with blood; a heart. The jack looked down at the newly ripped heart with disgust. The queen closed her eyes and smelt the fresh scent of blood in the air.

“No, that’s not the one, dispose of it at once.” She said.

“Gladly.” The jack responded crushing the heart with shattered into a thousand pieces which disappeared into the air.

Zen and Zaizens 8D (To be approved )

This is basically...how magic works xD Zai = Mana, Zaizens = Mana users

...To be approved by ole Mighty Head Master. (P.S It's already approved by co-head. xD)

Zai is what we call magic in this world; our world Miryas. Zai runs through this entire world; but only some can control it. Those whom can control zai are called zaizens; those whom have zai born within them. Every Zaizen can specialize in one element of zai. Every element of zai is important, ever element has its benefits and every element has its dangers.  Whenever a zaizen uses zai, they’ll suffer from a recoil hit. Majority of the time it only tires you out for a while but you would recover as soon your zai levels are recharged.

                In the Diavangeus academy, we’ll teach you how to control and master the gift of zai. Whenever you’re using zai; spells or zen circles are needed, sometimes even both. Zen circles are a concentrated amount of zai being used, which appears in a form of a luminous circle. Beginner zaizens are only capable of using one zai element at a time, but as you continue to grow stronger you’ll be able to use more. Elite students are capable of using 3 different elements of zai at once.  

(MORE)

The use of zai differs according to one’s class. Validens infused their zai energy with their weapons to boost up their attack in many ways. For example, if one infused water element zai with a whip, not only your whip would have a physical damage but can also take on the attributes of water; being able to change state at your will. Aireians used their zai energy for protection and healing purposes. Aireians infused their magic with their choice of medium. Mainly wands or staffs, Aireians are able to turn destructive zai energy into energy with the healing touch.  For example, if one infused the null element zai to produce a force field, it would be able to absorb any attack.  Lyrixans use zai energy directly, which is very dangerous. Raw zai energy can damage the body, which is why they use magical gems called Seaki stones to control the flow of energy.  Seaki stones are able to harmonize with user and zai energy so there won’t be an overflow.

Soliex; Past

Xamy style. xD

There was once a small hospital in a small part of Cruxia. Magic has been banned there so they need to train people to fight. There was a group of magistars* who refused to follow the law in Cruxia; the law that banned magic. They need to recruit memembers to over throw the goverment. Since adults are to stubborn to join them their only hope were kids. They went to that very hospital and take the children away, raising them to be elite magistars*; in secreat that is.

 Soliex was one of those children. Ever since she remembered, she had been trained to use magic. She has no clue that this is going against the nations laws. She always thought of this as normal, as everyone should know magic, she never knew until that day. At the age of 14 their camp got discovered. That's when Soliex found out the truth, the darkness of this nation. The entire camp got slaughtered, everyonne but 3 survived. The leader of the squad and Soliex were the only 2 surviors left. The leader who was heavily injurned told Soliex some spells; spells that would heal her. He warned her not to waste her magic on him; but to save herself. He warned her, "The greater the light, the greater the darkness. You'll be the light and I'll be the darkness." Soliex was still young and didn't understand the meaning behind those words. They barely got away and the 2 went into hiding; still learning magic.

In the 2 years they spent in hiding, Soliex learned more complex spells and discovered that she was a very talented Aireian. When she was 17, she finally learned the meaning of what the leader said that day. She had only went out to fetch some water but never expected to find out the true meaning. In their hideout, bloodshed was all that she could see. Bodies everywhere, weapons covered in blood dangling; it was pure darkness. Soliex quickly ran to her leader's room what she saw made her skip a heartbeat. Her leader lies dead in his chair, beside him a couple of other corpes. On his table lies a letter, written to Soliex.

 'Soliex,
You are the light for our people. You need not to live this way. Be free and shine your light for everyone to see. Find a place where you can be you and forget about me. I am the darkness for your light, that is that and nothing more.
 Thank you, Soliex.'

After reading that letter, Soliex learned the truth about this world she lives him. Her hate for the truth grew strong, but knew nothing could be done about it. So instead of fighting back, she waited for her chance. And her chance came, she bumped into Ruth one day. Ruth instantly sensed Soliex's skill and recruited her to be a teacher at DvA.
