At the sunny shores of Virqua, a young man steps out of a merchant's ship clearly a stowaway. The Captain of the ship then asks for details;
"Kid what was your name again?"
The man asks.
The young man responded with confusion;
"Fej?"
The man pinches the bridge between his eyebrows and follows up;
"No not that-"
Fej still confused then cuts him off;
"-Virvana?"
The man now "slightly" annoyed then exclaims;
"The hell you mean Virva-?! YOUR SURNA-"
Like a light bulb, he snaps and again cuts him off;
"OH- it's Fej Virqua"
The man raises his hands trying to explain.
"That's not-"
"NICE TO MEET YOUđ"
Fej raise his hand his arm for a handshake.
"BRO-"
A crowd was starting to grow, laughing at their conversation, they commented;
"Peak."
"67!!"
"Take off your shirt!"
"..."
Fej seeing the massive crowd, simply bows down convincing that all of it was just a performance, the Captain was lost for words. Escaping from the crowd Fej then makes his way to an Inn, along the way he looks around taking in the smell of the sea, that feeling of nostalgia hits him ..even though he hasn't experienced of such.
After a few more minutes of checking google maps, he finds an Inn, that has 4.5 stars on Google Maps. He arrives at the Inn, the place looks like a rundown laundry shop.
Though the look, the Inn somehow has a 4.5 star on Google Maps so he doesn't falter on his journey.
Fej enters the laundry shop of a place and leans on the desk of the receptionist and asks;
"Ma'am how much for one night?"
The receptionist answers confused;
"Me or the Hotel?"
Fej rummaging his penniless wallet looks up;
"WHA-"
Fej enters his room, a small room fitting a man who has butterflies as change. He lays down on the bed, stares at the ceiling and then rummages his pocket and pulls out a crumpled poster. It says;
"JOIN US IN THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS OF PRESTIGIOU-"
He throws the poster at the wall;;
"How do I plan on getting there?!"
He exclaims up in a fit of rage;
"Where do I even plan to get the money to begin with?"
He stands up and kicks the wall, which only hurt him more.
"Agh.. ..Stupid.. .Stupid.."
He just throws himself onto the bed yet, these thoughts kept him awake all.. night then at 12:69 am as he lays down on his bed, staring at the ceiling, his eyes drift outside the window and sees the vast endless sea illuminated by the moon.
So.. he decided to get some fresh air, getting off from his bed and heading outside. Along the way the hotel felt like a horror movie, due to a blackout the place was dark, no single source of light except from the receptionist desk where the receptionist is sound asleep on her desk.
Along with this every step he took a creak follows but eventually he was able to make his way outside.
He walks toward the tides and crouches, the gentle waves crashing at his feet.
He looks at the horizon, at this place he finds calm, just him and the waves-that was until a voice snaps him out of his trance.
"You talk to the sea often?"
Fej looks at the source of the voice and sees a blue haired girl.
She stares at the horizon with a melancholic expression also crouched like him,
"Only when I'm high so never- why so?".
She stares at Fej, cracks a smile then followed by giggling;
"Jest much?".
Then Fej turns to the laughing girl, she looked about his age-blue hair, pale white skin and petite.
Then their eyes lock, eyes that of Sapphire stare at his own.
For a moment it was just quiet, they stare at each other the moon over at the distant horizon overlapping with their image, and the sea illuminated.
Her eyes glistens as she raises her hand and smiles;
"Pinky Promise, We'd come by?"
He raises instinctly;
"Pinky Promise."
Under moonlight a promise was made, a simple child like promise serve as a key.
The moment went on until he was abruptly awoken by a "very" distinct sound of an alarm.
Fej picks up the phone and groggily says;
"Uhhhhhh-"
He gets up and leaves the phone to get dressed, on the phone says;
6:07 am, Thursday with a notification from the school, saying
"Last chance to enroll in the most renowned and the most prestigious of the prestigious of schools Akindlelit!-".
Fej stares at the phone while changing;
"Seriously though, why is it so corny..."
He packs the little that he has, the receptionist waving him goodbye. He steps out of the laundry shop the cold air of the morning hits him, along with the fresh smell of bread-walking towards the source he ruffles his hair and curses in his mind;
"Darn alarm you could've ATLEAST let me had my chance with he-"
*thonk*
*thud*
He hits a sign that says,
"Work for us, you'll get paid."
-Daily Bread.
He squints his eyes at the text and complains;
"What TYPE of dumba-"
As suddenly the door besides the sign opens, a man-that just by the looks is a robber rushed out.
Well he didn't made it far as Fej-still insulting the sign writer accidentally trips the robber as he stands up.
"Oh sor-"
Fej says as he turns to the man, he sees the Man on the ground with a bloodied nose.
"Oh."
He says as 2 guards pin him to the ground. Fej then gets sent to the local court, but before even getting started the judge looks at his papers then calls out to one of the guards;
"A Virqua?"
The guard answers
"Virqua."
They stare at each other then on him;
"ohhhhhhh..."
Afterwards he gets sent to count aka the guy who runs the place, in the end the man who's nose was bloodied got sent in for 60 days of community service.
At the Count's office, that seemed to be rather long hallway with many books filed up on the floor, a map of the County hang on the wall and a grandfather clock. The Count leans on his desk with his hands clasped, behind him a large painting of a blue haired man hangs, the ticking of the clock ticks every second. Then breaking the tension the count says
"Fej Virqua.."
Fej who was staring directly at the count says;
"Yes?-",
"Stop staring at me"
The count cuts him mid yes, then afterwards he pulls out a piece of paper from his cabinet and says;
"I've been meaning to get you kidnapped and brought here-"
Fej finally breaking from his staring says;
"Excuse me, what?".
The count throws Fej's ID at him and said;
"Who are you really? A family member or.. an Impostor Among Us?"
The count then straightens his tie and says pinching the bridge of his nose;
"Sigh. Go to the garden."
Fej was then escorted out of the room by a maid who says;
"Do as the Master says, Fej-sama."
She smiles and pointed to the visible garden from outside. Fej then walked through the porcelain tiled mansion, steps echoing with every step, is the sheer proof it's worth, paintings of people hang on the wall, vases of many assortments under each one.
He says to himself taking in the sight;
"Hm. So this is where my money went.. well anyways."
Eventually as he walked he made his way to the garden. The place was beautiful, flowers of all sorts-all beautiful in their own right, but where his eyes landed was not on the flowers but on the girl who inspects such flowers.
A girl who's hair stands out, blue hair that seems to shine under sunlight. The girl turned to him, she hiccups in surprise;
*hck*
"Blue hair? Are you perhaps a relative?"
*hck*.
"A relative- *hck* -I don't think- *hck*, could you cut that out?" *hck*.
The girl giggles at the situation, then says;
"Forgive me, it's just.. my name's Aomi Virqua."
"Nobody asked." -Fej 2026.
But then it clicked on him her name is Aomi Virqua, meaning... He then exclaims;
"Are you my Wife?!".
The girl giggles, and teasingly replies;
"So what if I was?"
The question caught even her off guard, as the place got silent.
*hck*
Aomi's hiccups break the tension, which made Fej turn to Aomi's glowing gand;
"What's that?"
Aomi tilts her head and replies;
"Oh this? It's a wind spell-im using it to ask Father about your situation, oh it seems Father is requesting your presence.. pls follow me."
Aomi walks inside, Fej yells from the garden;
"-are you sure you weren't smoking the plan-"
*HCK*.
Afterwards Fej sits Infront of the count again but this time with Aomi standing besides him then Aomi rings to her Father;
"Father about Fej."
The count who initially had his hands clasped giving off an intimidating aura now lays back on his chair and smiles at Aomi then looks at Fej and says;
"Fej Virqua, starting this point you're now under our Family's name, meaning starting tomorrow you're now recognize by law as a relative- which means a lot."
Fej's eyes glistens as he asks;
"So?"
His words carry the same hint of disrespect but like that of a dog when you mentioned the word;
"Walk."
The count let's out a small laugh
"If it weren't for her I would've chopped that stick of yours but through her you're not only my 'son' you're granted the benefits of being my son, yes even attending the academy along with my daughter."
Fej stares blankly at Aomi who smiles at him then she says;
"Is this what you wanted, Master Fej?".
