Hello readers. Sorry for not updating sooner. I have been very busy with exams and studying for exams. But that is now finished, and I am finally doing what my of you have requested…updating. I hope you'll forgive me for my past inactivity and enjoy this new chapter in the story SPIRIT. Also please not that I shall no longer be updating the index in the index chapter but will instead explain any new word, concept or power in or after each chapter. Okay well, now that I've bored you with my gabble, I'll reawaken you interest by proceeding with the new chapter.

High Mage Keichierro raised his arms above his head and all were silent. The lighted orb glowed at a comfortable illuminating intensity and all the assembled magi focused on their leader.

"My fellow magi, today I call to order the first meeting of the magi in fifteen thousand and twelve years. I welcome you to the Marble Palace. I apologize to those I took away from the world and I promise to make this as brief as possible." Keichierro paused, allowing the sound of his voice to travel to all. As he waited he turned his gaze to Ryou Shirogane and continued, "My brothers and sisters, I have received grave news. The gravest news that I could ever receive." The magi all waited, as he seemed to search for words. All waited in a drugged type of dread.

"My friends, my family, my children… before I shall bring a messenger, the likes of which we have not seen for fifteen thousand years. I pray that you shall remain seated. I pray that you remember your oath as you entered these hallowed walls.' I come to this place to gain knowledge, I acknowledge that not all knowledge is shall be mine. I pledge to learn the facts. I promise to hear and speak the truth. I pledge to forever learn and I shall honor every soul as my teacher.' This is the oath you all made when you entered the order of the magi for the first time and this is the oath I wish you to remember. Remember what we are, remember who we are and remember our purpose. We are protectors. We are teachers. We are learners. Today we shall learn a dreaded lesson. Today …"Keichierro paused, he and lowered his hand over the illuminating orb. He continued with a slight break in his voice ad tears in his eyes, "today …I present our guest, and the messenger of the age…" golden light shot from his hand into the orb.

"I present to the Magi order the elfin Seer, Ichigo Eerste Angelica eon Mommiya, seer and key and descendant of the first seer."

Suddenly the string of golden energy flowing between the high mage and the orb ceased.

Each mage leant forward in their seat. Ryou raised his eyebrows in speculation.

The room was thrown into darkness.

And then there was light again as the torches on walls flared to life.

Where the orb had been stood a girl.

Slender, regal, closed in what appeared to be a mist of greens and blue. Blindfolded.

The magi stared. Ryou Shirogane felt his stomach tighten and Keichierro knew it had been done. Now all would be revealed. He only hoped his suspicions all proved to be correct otherwise he had just made the biggest mistake of the age.

All held their breath as she raised one of her arm and pointed at one person.

Ryou paled and the magi stared at the being a Key pointed.

The spirit mage.

The Spirit mage stared back. And then the girl spoke.

"To this land comes a curse. A war for our existence. Dark magi return. Necromancers come. The darkness follows. The Keys are revealed. The tests of Mortality begin. The War of Existence has begun." Her voice seemed infinite yet silent, it was like nothing anyone had ever heard. She faced the still silent assembly.

"The Magi must prepare. The races must meld. Only two shall win the battle. The worlds fate shall now be determined."

The Girl collapsed. The spirit mage caught her. The pair disappeared and the High Mage reseated himself.

Chaos Appeared.

………………………………………………………………………………………

Necromancers- Evil beings which reawaken the dead, but who don't return them to life. They have the ability to turn the dead into ghouls. They hate all those who are alive and will stop at nothing to eradicate all life and magic from world.

Ghouls- mindless resurrected beings, obedient, ruthless and completely controlled by their makers

The War of Existence- a war that was prophesized thirty-three million years ago by the first seer. It is said this war shall determine the existence and fate of the world

Seers- a seer is one with the ability to see the future and the past. They can be from any race. Their power is uncontrollable and often causes the being to become insane. The few who remain sane are so powerful they can see through the ages

The first seer- was an Elvin prince. He was said to have been the only seer to understand all his visions. He only had twelve. The third was the Prophecy of the War of existence. It is said he cried for a year after seeing what was to happen.

The Prophecy of the war of existence- The prophecy states that the age of the war of existence will be time of trial, pain and suffering with to possible results. The one being the destruction of the world the other the salvation through sacrifice of the two keys.

The Keys- The purest beings of the age. Each age there are new keys. Their identities are not always known. Their power is one that becomes limitless.
