In the Era of Chaos, many brave warriors had fallen. All defeated by a powerful group, Sicarius. They strove to annihilate mankind from earth. An army that consist of ogres, wild beasts, demons with grotesque figures, and dragons, with a minimum of 50, 000 troops were estimated.

Different kingdoms allied with one another in attempt to control the uprise from these monsters. But no matter how brilliant the tactics were, all were a vain effort. Even with a combination of many mages, fighters, and warriors, the damages done to Sicarius were insignificant compared to the number of injuries and human lives wasted.

All had lost hope until a group of five managed to defeat a troop of Sicarius effortlessly. News of the five heroes spread rapidly across the nation. The alliance invited them into the kingdom, hoping that the human race could be saved.

It was not long before they managed to infiltrate the castle that the ruler of Sicarius reside in. Thousand and millions of citizens were amazed, astonished, and filled with admiration. Never had they seen someone as powerful as them; mages with unlimited mana and warriors with powerful strength. Their destructive power seemed inhuman. Soldiers in the same battlefield felt honored to be fighting alongside with the heroes, and proud to be saying it to their family and friends.

Five of them entered the castle as the rest stayed outside. No one knew what happened. After many explosions, everything fell silent. Suddenly a thunderous sound roared, followed by cries and screams. Five beams of light shot toward the sky and flew in different directions. The castle then crumbled into pieces.

The soldiers dug under the rubbles for three days, hoping to save their heroes. But what they saw was not their beloved heroes, but rather Reiton, leader of Sicarius. Reiton had became a statue with a sword still pierced inside of him. Mages recognized that one of the strongest sealing spell, Incantores, was casted on him. It was not surprising that even the weight of the castle could not destroy his figure. The floor was also imprinted with a spell of 15 layers of hexagonal star that encircled one another. They realized that it was a spell used to seal his actions. Their powers said to be strong enough to counter a dragon's breath.

The alliance responded after the soldiers dispatched a message about their situation. All nations agreed to build a big shrine with Reiton sealed deep inside. Statues of the five were built to protect the people from Sicarius.

The disappearance of the heroes was a mystery to all, but no one forgot about the five miraculous light beams that night. The kings declared that the heroes were descended from above to help the people during the time of crisis. And the light beams went into the sky because the heroes have returned to heaven. Thus the five heroes were named as "The Reincarnation of God."

~~~ 5, 000 YEARS LATER ~~~

"Father, father! I want to listen to the story about The Reincarnation of God!" Prince Faust whined.

The king laughed at his youngest son.

"You have listened to that story so many times already. Do you want to listen to others?"

"That story is the best! I love it! When I grow up, I must become as strong as them!"

"Father, don't forget to tell Faust that what you're telling him is not only a story." The eldest prince, Lache said while entering the room. Next to him was his mother, Queen Lavina.

"Not a story but an event that happened in the history right? I know, I know! That's why I want to be like them when I grow up!" Prince Faust cheered excitedly.

Lache grinned at his little brother, "That's not possible."

"Why not?"

"According to those that entered the sacred shrine, a 15 layered magic was used on Reiton. And right now even a Great Sage like Rave can only cast up to 13 layers.

Faust pouted, "Is that true mother?"

"Yes darling." Queen Lavina responded and patted his head.

"They brought peace to this land. Even after 5,000 years, people in the world still look up to them." The king said.

(Knock knock...)

"Come in." King Leon looked to see who it was.

The servant kneeled down onto one knee, "My king, there is an urgent news from Goro."

The king waved his hand and the servant retreated.

He got up, "Well then, sleep well both of you."

"Yes father." Both princes responded simultaneously.

"Report." King Leon commanded after sitting on his throne.

"A group of treasure hunters found something very magnificent and I would like to show it to your majesty." Goro said and looked up to see the king's reaction.

"Bring forth and show it."

"That is the problem your majesty, we are unable to bring it here."

Leon raised a brow, "Are you trying to fool me?"

He fell onto his knees, "No, no, no! Your majesty, please come with me and you will know what I mean."

The man rushed to the site, excited to show the king what he have discovered.

"Beautiful." Leon whispered.

They were in a cave and in front of them is a beautiful lady, unconscious on the floor.

"Why don't you get her out? Hurry and help the girl." Leon pointed at her direction.

He replied, "That is the problem. We cannot break the barrier."

"How did that girl get in there? What have you done to her?"

"We have been digging in this cave for few months. We camped out here but never saw any girl snuck in. So we assume that she had been trapped in there for a long time."

"Rave, is that possible?"

He answered, "Your majesty, it is possible. But to survive under the rocks and keep a barrier up for such a long time, she must be very powerful.

The king touched the orb like barrier.

Rave stepped in front of the king but he wasn't able to cast a spell fast enough.

General Kenshin tried to block the damage but three of them ended up flying backward.

Everyone gasped and rushed to the king.

"Your Majesty! Are you alright?!" Rave exclaimed and helped him up.

"Amazing." The king said as he got up, "Not even a Great Sage nor a Dark Knight is able to repel the impact.

Kenshin agreed, "Truly powerful.

"Have people guard the area until you get the girl out." Leon commanded while walking out the cave.

"Yes sir." One of the guard said and bowed.

"Your majesty, I have a suggestion." Rave said walking behind the king.

"Speak."

"If she is really that strong, then if we are able to control her powers we might be able to conquer other kingdoms."

"Her powers would be helpful but the problem would be if she can be tamed." Kenshin said to Rave.

"Taking over other kingdoms, not yet. But bring her back to the palace for future purposes." Leon said.

"Yes your majesty."

~~~3 days later~~~

"Pst...pst..."

"What?" Daichi turned to his partner.

"Did you see how the girl inside looks like?" Arata asked.

"Yeah. I took a glance at her when they brought her in."

Arata opened the door ajar and peaked inside the gap.

Daichi smacked Arata on the head, "Stop doing that, we're guarding this area right now, not checking out some girl."

Arata groaned and touched the spot he was hit, "I'm only seeing if she woke up yet or not. I heard she has been unconscious even before they brought her here."

Daichi smacked his head again, "Stop peeking."

"Hold on! Stop hitting me!"

"Ohhhhh shame!"

Daichi gasped.

"Prince Faust!" Both of them fell to their knees.

Faust grinned, "Someone isn't doing their job."

"Prince Faust, please don't tell the commander." Arata begged.

The young prince walked around them, "I could do that, but you have to let me go in."

"Ahhh..." Both of them had a confused look on their faces.

"Why would Prince Faust want to do that?" Daichi asked.

"Everyone in the castle is talking about her, so I want to see how she looks like." Faust pouted.

Both of them looked at each other and hesitated.

"I promise I won't tell the commander." Faust said poking their shoulder.

"Okay then." Arata said.

"But..but..." Daichi stuttered, not knowing what to say.

"Daichi stop being like that. Prince Faust won't make any trouble." Arata said and opened the door for the young prince.

"Hehe." Faust giggled, "Let's go Mary."

"Yes, Prince." The maid said and followed behind.

"Mary, quickly close the door and come here." Fause whispered and went beside the unconscious lady.

Mary kneeled beside the young prince.

"Why do you think Father brought her here?"

"I heard a rumor saying that she is very powerful." Mary replied.

Faust pondered for a few minutes.

"She doesn't look strong at all!"

The maid giggled, "I agree prince, this woman looks very innocent."

"And pretty." Faust added.

"Prince Faust look!" Mary pointed at the woman, "She is waking up."

The woman shifted, and her eyelids fluttered but did not open all the way.

"Mary go get Father and the doctor here."

"But prince Faust, if we tell them to come, Daichi and Arata will get in trouble."

"Tell Arata or Daichi to get someone, and say they heard some noise. We'll just hide in here."

The woman laid still on the bed as the doctor checked her pulse.

"Is she feeling well?" King Leon asked.

The doctor responded, "She is perfectly healthy, but we still don't know if there is anything wrong with her since she never spoke a word since she woke up."

She suddenly curled up into a ball near the pillow. It was like she finally noticed her surroundings.

"We'll give her some time alone. Until she is completely healed, Daichi and Arata will keep guarding the doors." With that, the king left the room.

After all of the people left, she started talking to herself.

"What is she doing?" Faust whispered to Mary.

Mary responded softly, "I don't know, but young prince, I don't think it is a good idea to be hiding in her room."

"Not like we'll get in trouble."

"Prince Faust..."

"Shhh! Don't be so loud."

Faust concentrated on what the girl was doing.

She sat up straight and placed both of her hands in front of her chest, like she was praying.

They heard a poof, and something appeared in front of her. It was a black puppy with two horns and a pair of wings.

She seemed to be talking to it, and it responded, but Faust could not understand anything.

Are they foreigners? But she was found in Father's land.

The puppy touched her hand.

"Thanks Kero. I wouldn't know what to do without you." She said.

So she can speak our language, then I guess he is native to our land.

Kero turned his head toward Faust's direction, and Sakura's eyes followed.

Faust knew he was found out, he laughed nervously as he came out of his hiding spot.

"A kid..." She smiled.

"I'm not a kid anymore! I'm seven years old!" Faust exclaimed.

She giggled, "What is your name?"

"My name is Faust."

"Faust." She repeated after him.

Mary frowned, "Prince Faust," She corrected.

"How about you? What is your name?" Faust asked.

"My name is Sakura."

"You are very pretty." Faust said and climbed on the bed.

Sakura giggled, "Thank you, but what I want to know is why were you hiding in my room?"

"If father found out that I'm here, he would tell me to leave."

"Why doesn't he want you to be in my room?" She asked curiously.

Faust responded, "People found you in a cave unconscious, and there was a very strong barrier that was protecting you. Rave and Kenshin think you are very strong, so you might be able to work for our kingdom."

"Hmmm...who is Rave and Kenshin?"

"Rave is a Great Sage and Kenshin is a Dark Knight. Both of them work under my father. They are very strong too! If I can I want to be as strong as them. No, even stronger. Like the 5 Reincarnation of God!"

Sakura watched as Faust's eyes shone brightly as he mentioned the heroes.

"Sakura-nee chan! I should tell you about them one day!" Faust said excitedly.

"Of course." Sakura smiled and patted his head.

She continued, "But I'm a bit tired now, so I want to rest a bit."

Faust jumped off the bed, "Okay then! I'll visit you some other day nee-chan!"

He ran out the door as Mary stumbled behind him.

"Kid..." Kero shook his head with annoyance.

"He's adorable!" Sakura giggled.

Kero rolled his eyes, "Brats are always brats."

"Well then, I have many questions to ask you." Sakura's voice turned serious, "Where am I and what happened?"

"Master, you are currently in Castanea Kingdom. And you have been unconscious for 5,000 years..."

"5,000 years...?" Sakura repeated, "I only remember Reiton's attack blasted me away and I blacked out. What happened afterward?"

"After Reiton was sealed, The Era of Chaos came to an end. But humans are always greedy." Kero looked disappointed as he spoke.

"Without Reiton leading the beasts, they left Pangea and returned to their own continent. Then, the humans turned against each other and fought over lands that Reiton once controlled.

Sakura frowned, "Other than that, did any other things happened?"

Kero shook his head and closed his eyes, "I am really happy that you are back."

Sakura petted Kero and hugged him, "Being in an unconscious state for such a long time, my body has weakened immensely. I don't even have the power to cast a simple spell. It took me a very long time to call you out."

Kero rolled his eyes, "I can tell you're weak. I can't believe I'm stuck in this pitiful form."

He stood on all four legs, giving Sakura a clean view of how he looks like.

"I'm the size of your hand, maybe even smaller!" He exclaimed making Sakura laugh.

"Something is going on recently, I have some friends who heard a rumor saying that someone is trying to break the seal on Reiton."

Sakura sighed, "Maybe this is the reason why I was found."

Kero tilted his head.

"Why did you think we didn't wake up earlier or was found earlier? Why now? Why when someone is trying to break the seal?"

He shrugged his small shoulders.

She smiled sadly, "It is our fate. The five of us."

"Master..."

"This has been our role ever since we were born."

He looked at Sakura, "Have you ever regret or despise having such a monstrous power?"

"Many times..." She stared at the empty space, recalling all those memories.

~ 1 Month Later ~

"Isn't your father worried about you getting too close to me?" Sakura asked sitting on the bed, petting Kero.

"Yup, all the time." Faust responded, "That's why he got people following me but they can't stop me."

Kero laughed, "Smart kid."

"Of course." Faust smiled.

"If you're as smart as you think, then you must know a way to get out of the kingdom without the guards knowing." Kero said.

"Yup I do." Few seconds later, Faust's smile faded, realizing what he just said.

"You want to leave the kingdom?" He asked sadly.

Kero looked at Sakura, making her respond.

"Kero and I do not belong here. And besides, the only place I can be is this room. Your Father doesn't even let me step out of this room."

"Other than not letting you leave the room, everyone is very nice. If you want I can ask father so you can accompany me while we're in the kingdom."

"Faust..." Sakura frowned.

"Kid. There are important things my master must do. She can not stick around here and play with you for the rest of her life." Kero barked.

Faust looked at the floor sadly.

"Kero, that was harsh." Sakura said softly.

"I am simply stating the truth. If he doesn't want to hear it he can leave. We can always find our own way."

"Sorry Faust," Sakura apologized, "Kero is just a bit rude."

Faust looked up, "I can help you guys escape but you must promise me one thing."

Kero and Sakura was surprised by his offer.

"What is it you want me to do?" She asked.

"You must take me with you."

Both of their jaws dropped. Of all the request he can make, he had to ask that!

"You must be kidding me." Kero whispered under his breathe.

"Faust, I'm not sure that is a good..."

"That is my deal." Faust said cutting off what Sakura wanted to say.

He continued, "There is no other way to leave the kingdom. You cannot defeat the army and guards alone. The only way is for me to help you."

"What do you think Kero?" Sakura asked.

"We can't be bringing a kid along with us!" He exclaimed, "He'll only be a burden."

"A smart kid. And plus I know how to fight! Kenshin taught me some moves before. I can protect Nee-chan." Faust cheered.

Sakura laughed.

"Well I guess we can use some protection. Master is unable to use her magic and I cannot be roaming with my true form." Kero said.

"Let's leave tonight!" Faust said.

"Why are you in such a rush?" Sakura asked curiously.

"I've always wanted to travel but father doesn't let me. My dream is to be as strong as the legendary heroes. If I stay here, there is no way that is going to come true because I am a prince. People are afraid to harm me so they won't fight me seriously. That is not what I want. So in order for me to polish my skills I must leave." Faust responded determinedly.

"You must really admire them. Children your age would choose luxury over their dreams." Sakura smiled.

Kero stood up from Sakura's lap and jumped off the bed.

"Kid, you must know that once we leave the castle, your title, prince, is worthless. And if people find out your identity, they will kidnap you and threaten your father. Are you prepared for that? Are you prepared to give up your life as a prince? To give up the protection from your father and the soldiers? To start protecting yourself and of course my master too. And don't forget, we need to earn money to feed ourselves. People don't just give us free food and shelter. Are you prepared to do all of that?"

"I am." There were no hesitation in Faust's voice.

After Kero warned him all the possibilities, Faust's determination was unwavering. Sakura and Kero now understood that he would give up the life he has now to achieve his dream. They would never ask him again, because his resolution was unquestionable.

"You have asked enough questions, Kero." Sakura started, "We will depart tonight then. But where shall we meet up?"

"The garden down the hallway." Faust suggested.

"But how will you manage to get pass Daichi and Arata?" He wondered.

She giggled, "My powers haven't fully returned but I can still use a sleeping spell."

"How strong are you if all your powers come back?" He questioned.

"Who knows?"

"As strong as the Great Sage?"

"Maybe."

Faust pouted.

"Go back to your room and start packing kid. There are few more hours until the sky is dark." Kero said.

"Fine." Faust left the room, still pouting.

Sakura got to the garden early and wandered around.

"This place is very beautiful."

Kero rolled his eyes, "Of course it is, we are inside a castle right now."

"So negative Kero! At least let me enjoy my moment here."

"The kid is running late." He groaned.

Sakura bent down to smell the flowers.

"Give him some time to pack. I just hope he won't bring too many stuff with him."

"I'm here!" Faust yelled when he saw them.

"Shhh." Sakura whispered placing one finger on her lips.

"Don't forget we are sneaking out."

"Ooops." He whispered.

"How are we going out?" Kero asked.

"There is a small hole in the wall, we can crawl out."

Sakura looked at the small hole, "I wonder if I can fit through that." She laughed nervously.

Kero rolled his eyes, "Blame your big chest."

Sakura pouted, "Leave my breast out of this."

"Kero and I will crawl under first and we'll pull you out if you get stuck." Faust said.

Kero already walked his way over and watched as Sakura squeezed herself through.

"Not a befitting image for a maiden." He sighed.

"Just help me get out of this hole!" She huffed. After few more attempts, she got out.

"Where to now?" She asked.

"The city gates are closed at night so we can only leave during the day. We should just rent a room to sleep in for the night." Faust said.

Kero hopped onto Sakura and sat on her head.

"Okay, let's go!" She cheered.
