《Holders》000: Prologue
Advertisement
Everything was filled with static. Everything was in a void, when voices inside of his head started to rumble through his ears.
"Aw, of course you can be a hero!" There was a familiar voice of a woman...
"Adios, kiddo" A voice of an old man...
"Rin!" And the voice of an innocent, little girl, calling his name...
All of started projecting onto his vision. Every figments of his memories built up and compiled front of his own eyes.
"What is this...?" He asked in confusion...
"So we've met again, Rine." A voice called him out throughout the darkness.
A voice he already heard before...
"Who are you? Why am I here?"
"It doesn't matter of who I am. Yet I've come here to give you a warning."
Suddenly, his vision changed in a snap. Those memories he had seen, was altered by a sight of chaos. From when the world is already in the brink of despair, lead by an anonymous sovereign.
"Huh what is all these!? The world..." He gasped.
"This was the fate of the world, one and half year after "It" was created. You got to save them. Us..." The voice spoked downcasted.
"Save? But how--"
Then a bright, shining light started to succumb to whole place down. Slowly, as it shatters the darkness.
"You will know soon, human. As you are the--"
Thus the light ate it all, leaving nothing, the same time Rine got startled from the alarm clock.
"Another weird dream huh..." Spoke him, lazily.
He rose up them turned off the alarm, arranged his bed, wore his pair of eyeglasses, and went downstairs.
The weird dream kept him hanging while getting himself ready from school. While combing his, unusual, white hair, curiosity slips to his mind.

"Hm... I heard mom's voice on that one. But the other two, especially the voice of the little girl, those seem familiar..."
He tried to decode its message, but it was no good. All of the answers weren't possible to happen.
"Tsk. Nevermind." He said to himself, disappointed.
Setting it all aside as he was ready to depart, Rine Ishida took the house's keys, wearing his neat uniform while sorting the contentd of his bag, thus went off to his way after locking up.
| Kanazawa Highschool |
Kanazawa Highschool. Named after its owner, is a regular school where Rine is currently attending in his third year. The first two years of his experience made him one of the famous students throughout the whole campus, because of his academic performance that helped him to reach the first rank on his first year. He was often nominated to be the school council president, but he constantly refused and lived his school life ordinarily like a common learner.
He is currently walking down the hallway while holding his bag, when he collided with a bunch of delinquents, which lead by a man he never knew existed. The same person was rumored act as an alpha among his peers as following issues spread wide onto the campus.
His flaxen hair waves while he saunters amidst the hallways with two persons beside him. Despite being just a year advanced by Rine, his aspect was far intimidating from Rine's plain aura.
Wandering his thoughts, Rine lost his consciousness on the hallways, and so resulted to a small accident which turned worse.
Matsuo, whose ahead got his clear shirt into a filth.
His brows folded. "Grr... Bastard! Now my shirt is drenched with coffee!"
Rine bowed; sweating profusely ss he frets "Ah- Sorry I didn't noticed you in front of me."

Unfortunately, Rine doesn't know anything about Matsuo's background, since he wasn't interacting that much, nor has a thing he could call a friend. He doesn't know that Matsuo is a hothead and he eventually surprised by a swing of punch towards his cheek, made him instantly fall out of balance, because of the surprise.
"Tsk. You're ruining my mood this early."
From the floor, he pulled Rine's collar up"You'd better watch your step next time, nerd."
Then they parted ways, with the two sides, unsettled. Rine stood up from the floor as his lip was bleeding from the punch.
"Tch! What's his problem? But I apologized right away." Said to himself while wiping of the blood from his lip.
He doesn't want this issue to grow up, and continued to walk his way to their classroom.
"Oh Ishida--- Wait, your lip, is it bleeding?Mr. Hamada asked in a worried expression.
"Ah, Its nothing sir, I just stumbled on the stairs earlier. Hehe" He replied with a bluff.
"Are you really sure you're alright? Maybe you could go to the infirmary first?"
"No, sir. Its fine. You don't need to word about me that much..." He answered while smiling timidly.
"Well, if you insist, then just sit down. We're starting the class today."
Thus he sat down to the rightmost part of the room, beside a silent, blonde girl, pretending to read a book, but actually eyeing him, the moment he showed up.
Not noticing the girl, Rine continued to listen to their mentor and forget everything happened earlier at the hallway. Then his everyday, simple life had slowly changed as the strings of fate moved him and the "others" to their current states.
They were supposed to be gone years ago. The forbidden arts were still passed through generations until this modern era, where magic are forgotten. They still exists somewhere to this world, hiding their power upon the innocent.
The Holders was still here, lurking from the shadows of this world.

She also meets Afi, a strange bandit with a stern face and a soft heart. Saving each other from certain demise, they join in a bond which irreversibly ties their souls together. So bonded, they attempt to settle down. When a distant heir to the Crown asks for aid to reunite the country, Sylvia sees her chance to finally right all the wrongs committed against her family. In the pursuit of the throne, Afi and Sylvia come to risk their very lives. Sylvia uncovers the relationship between soul, magic, and divinity itself, but even in research, there is peril. It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page.
