The Great Magus

“Alright,” Sora nodded, this could be fun and he would have a chance to talk with this silver haired angel, maybe even become friends with the prince.

“Good,” Riku gave Sora a genuine smile, pleased that the boy didn’t reject his offer.

Riku and Sora put on their shoes. The silver haired male couldn’t take his eyes off the smiling boy, there was just something about Sora’s happy, innocent and childish smile that made Riku feel new inside. Sora looked up at the prince to find him starring again, making the young blush and become slightly uneasy. Riku took his eyes off of Sora, with great difficulty, and opened the door. Both boys exited the guest bedroom and began to walk the white halls.

Riku showed Sora the floors of the palace and the rooms. Most of them were just unnecessary in Riku’s point of view. Sora was interested in the libraries that this palace housed. The amounts of books and some of the magical scrolls kept by Lillian and Yen Sid were amazing. It took an hour before Riku could drag Sora out with promises that he could return later to read them all. Riku finally got to his own bedroom, something he was saving for last until the outdoors.

Both boy’s entered the room, Sora stopped in his tracks when he saw the prince’s bedroom. The sheer size of the room amazed him. It was bigger then the guest bedroom even. It had a king sized bed of its own with a canopy, all dressed with different shades of blue and silver, while a blue carpet surrounded the bottom of the bed. Two tall windows ten feet away on either side of Riku’s bed let the light spill through. Opposite Riku’s bed were two cabinets side by side, on the right was a door leading to a large walk in closet and on the left side was the door leading to a gorgeous bathroom. To the left side of the bedroom door was a tall bookshelf containing an assortment of literature. A carpet with three chairs on top was before the tall shelf. Opposite the bedroom door was the balcony. The glass doors were closed at the moment, the blue drapes pulls away from the glass doors and windows.

“Wow…” Sora whispered, looking around the room with amazement.

“Yeah,” Riku whispered more to himself as he looked at Sora.

Sora walked towards the door of the walk in closet and opened it. Inside was a small hall leading to a whole different room. The room was lined with hanging clothes, shoe shelves and drawers. The floor was carpeted as well with white. Sora came out of the closet and closed the door and looked around the room for the prince, which he couldn’t find. He felt a breeze and looked out at the large balcony, the door was open but Riku was not there. Sora was becoming confused and a little worried that the prince had ditched him and left him stranded to find his room once more.

“Riku?” Sora called out tentatively, walking around the room trying to find the prince. He looked under the bed, knocked on the bathroom door, searched the balcony but couldn’t find the prince anywhere. Still he had the feeling that somebody was watching him and it made him feel uneasy. Deciding to wait for the silver haired teen he took a seat on the bed. He noticed a desk near the window closest to the balcony door; it was quite beautiful compared to most that he had seen in a while. He felt a wisp of air pass by him, making him shiver slightly, he shifted feeling the burning sense of somebody looking at him. He looked around once more but couldn’t find anyone but himself in the room.

“Alright, Riku, stop playing around now…please?” Fear crept through into the sentence as he jumped off the bed, looking around the large space for the other boy. “Riku?” Sora called out again when he heard a ghostly whisper of laughter. This time the spiky haired teenager began to walk towards the bedroom door, wanting to escape this feeling, but those plans were crushed when a gust slammed the door shut. Sora made a dash for the balcony doors, which were slammed shut as well, rattling the glass panes.

I don’t get it, is he trying to lock me in? Why is he playing with me this way, I hate it. Sora sat down, looking around uneasily as tried to breath calmly. He let out a shriek when he felt two arms materialize around him and the warmth of another body pressed against his back. A deep voice chuckled beside him as he felt the weight of a head being laid against his shoulder.

“Calm down Sora, I was just playing with you,” Riku whispered calming to boy with his hold. Sora unconsciously leaned against the silver haired beauty, his heartbeat finally getting back to a normal pace again.

“How did you do that?” Sora whispered

“I’m a magus of air Sora. I can teleport, make myself invisible, control the wind, I can do a lot with the element.”

“Oh…Merlin said something weird to me when we were coming here this morning,” Sora muttered

“What was that?” Riku asked, truly curious about what it could be

“He said that I would be able to teleport soon but that belongs with the air element and I can only control the waters and earth,” Sora said, turning to face Riku hoping that the boy had some answer to this weird comment dropped by the Magister.

“I dunno,” Riku shrugged, confused by this comment as well. Both were silent as they tried to think what this comment meant. Then, like a ton of bricks, it hit Riku. Merlin wasn’t the kind to just randomly drop useless information, Merlin was like Yen Sid and both would never do that. He looked down at the pensive looking boy, astounded by this fact. Sora was going to be a Great Magus, just like their teachers. There were only seven Great Magus in existence.

“Riku? Did you figure it out?” Sora questioned when he saw the shocked and amazed look on the older of the two. Riku said nothing to Sora, keeping this to himself. This was something that the older magus would have to announce to him and he wasn’t 100% sure about this conclusion.

“No, Sora. I’m sorry.” Riku stood up and helped the cinnamon haired boy up, “I want to show you the courtyards and gardens. I’m sure you’ll love those a lot.” Riku pulled the boy along towards the balcony. The doors opened and closed by themselves and Riku dragged Sora towards the ledge. He gave a grin at the confused boy and in one swift movement picked the boy up, stepped onto the railing and jumped. Sora screamed as they plummeted down seven stories, sure that they would die but at the last moment a cushion of air appeared beneath Riku’s feet and slowed them down, making them float to the ground. There was hardly a sound when Riku placed his feet on the ground below, he smiled down at the terrified brunet and chuckled. “Time to see the gardens now.”

I neeeeeeeded to get this out before I forgot it. Hope you enjoyed it.
