The Psychian Chronicles Book 1 Kimoshiran Form

by Timothy Bryant

I awake in the middle of the day with Sorona and Jet hovering over my bed. They ask me how I’m feeling but the signs are obvious. My wounds show my bruised and beaten body.

  “Holy cow, what was that attack”? Jet asks.

  Still delirious from my fight I have trouble remembering what attack he’s talking about.

  “The one with the electricity and your energy”? He says.

  I explain my destructive attack to Jet and Sorona. Jet’s mouth goes wide with envy.

  The next few days there is no class due to the injuries Ikeya received from the fight. It takes me two days before I can finally get out of the bed and walk on my own, with the assistance of a crutch though. On my third day of being in the infirmary Yamasaki pays me a visit. He tells me that he wants to fight X and I one on one. At first I decline but what he promises to give me is too valuable to pass up. Yamasaki sets the day for three days from now. After a couple of more days I can finally walk without a crutch and I’m feeling pretty good. Classes are still cancelled on account that Ikeya is still bed ridden from our fight. For the next couple of days all I can hear from the other students is the news of my upcoming fight. It’s not too long before Sorona and Jet are bugging me about it. The next day I’m out in the north courtyard sword handling. The place is a sight to behold the Procker trees in the wind, there fruit scattered on the ground. Procker trees rose from the ground after humans practically died off. The fruit is red like an apple but as big as a pineapple the taste is bitter though. Most people and Psychian’s use it in soups. There is a fountain of a man with messed up blonde hair and what looked to be green eyes, the whole thing is starting to wear away. I sense someone come up behind me. I spin my sword the blade is nearly at her throat. Sorona is standing in front of me with a smile on her face.

  “Glad to see your senses are still as keen as ever”. She says.

  “No shield, no sword of your own pulled out pretty risky wouldn’t you say”.

  “Not really”.

  She asks me if I’m ready for the fight tomorrow. The fight I almost completely forgot. I go back to training while Sorona keeps talking to me. She says my name quietly as if someone was watching.

  “Do you have a sister”? She asks.

  The question about floors me to the ground. I ask her how she knows this information. She tells me that someone close to her family told her and Sange. My eyes are glued to the ground I only awake from this world when Sorona gives me a little push. She has a little smirk on her face and keeps asking if I’m all right.

  “It was ten years ago she was the star pupil of my master and the hopeful to end the AU but she got careless. She heard a rumor that Kita was most likely to be their next leader. She stormed out of the house in the middle of the night. It was two days after that they found her body or what was left of it”.

  “Why, have I never heard of this before”? She asks.

  “The family kept it hidden to the rest of the world, as far as they know she’s just lost or captured but not dead. We let the world make up their own stories”.

  “Why, not tell them though instead of hiding it”? She asks.

  “Not sure guess the family is a little embarrassed or they can’t let go of her still”. I say.

  Sorona shakes her head a little and leaves.

  I sit on the edge of the fountain with my head now full of memories I’ve forgotten for a long time. My sister born twelve years before I. A prodigal Psychian who at my current age contained twenty times the strength that I have. It was a dark stormy night I was only five but I can remember it clear as day. She stormed out of her room and throughout the living room and towards the door. Our father’s hand grabs her arm and stops her. My father catches her stern look across her face right before she gives him a blast to the stomach. He chases her outside and knocks her to the ground. She has tears in her eyes I can’t hear what they are saying but in the next couple of days I have an idea. Two days after my sister left the town of Shiran it was attacked and reduced to rubble. Five days after we moved out of Shiran in are new town of Recnamorcen. I was outside behind our house about to get a drink from a stream when I saw her lifeless corpse. The left arm and leg were cut off. Two days after that her funeral was held only Furrock and Sounni and my family attended. Since her death I’ve always tried to take life a little less seriously. My growing strength I guess concerns people that I will become her.

  I depart from the courtyard and go back into the school. I’m walking by Ikeya’s room when I can hear a dark voice come from inside. The door is open so I take a peek inside, a book shelf in the far corner is to the left and a pathway leads downstairs. The deep voice is so evil my gut starts to churn in pain. I see a shadow on the stair walls and I sense Ikeya’s presence coming up the stairs. I duck behind the wall and wait for Ikeya to close the door. The rattling of the door closing makes enough noise so that I can escape without alerting Ikeya. I get back to my room and close the door as quickly as possible. Not too long afterwards someone comes knocking at my door. I’m on guard as I turn the handle but when it opens I’m surprised to see Yamasaki in front of me.

  “I came here to remind you of our fight tomorrow, you do remember right”? He says.

  “I remember but why do you want to fight X and me so badly”? I ask.

  “Like I said my master is very interested in the two of you, he wants to know how much power you posses so far”.

  He’s about to ask me another question when he looks to his right and his eyes go wide.

  “What is it”? I ask.

  I go out to the hallway to see and there he is Kita. The students have formed lines on each side of him.

  “Shinruga, how nice to see you again”. He says sarcastically.

  My hands fill with energy because I’m about to attack but Ikeya calls my name. I stop the energy from coming out of my body. Ikeya puts his arm on Kita’s shoulder and signals for him to come to his chambers.

  “I don’t get it why is Kita here and why is Ikeya acting like they are best friends, maybe Kita is threatening Ikeya”. He says.

  “I doubt it, Ikeya is evil and I have the proof”.

  He doesn’t believe me at first but after I tell the story that the creature from below told us.

  “I have to go warn my master of this or else more students could be lured into his trap. This will be his last year he will teach. Once my master comes here he will shut this school down”.

  “How, only the triple Psychian can enforce rules and laws”. I say.

  After the fall of humans, their government seemed to cease to exist. People and Psychian’s alike started to try and form their own laws. The triple Psychian thought otherwise being that he was pure of heart suggested that only he make rules. When a problem occurred he’d be the solution but he died before the rules were set into place. It wasn’t too long afterwards that the new laws were placed into order. There are different rules for people and Psychian’s. A lot of the old laws that humans had before we existed still exist. When the new triple Psychian comes around he or she has a lot of work to do.

  “Listen Shinruga my master Hiraski has been helping watch over you and your family”. He says. “My master is one of the reasons that you’re still alive, he saved your father’s life at least three times”.

  I search through all the memories in my head, no mention of the name Hiraski comes to mind. Not one after a few seconds of thinking I shrug it off.

  Kita finally leaves the room with a satisfied look on his face. Kita once again stops when he’s beside me.

  “Oh, and Shinruga say hi to Furrock for me”. He says.

  What Kita says chills me straight to the bone. Does this mean he knows where Furrock and Sounni live? Kita keeps walking with all the students staring angrily at him. The famed new Psychian killer walking right beside us.

  Yamasaki walks up beside me again.

  “I have warned my master he should be here tomorrow before our fight. You know of Ikeya’s secret room the dem
on creatures and the deep evil power”. He asks.

  “Yes I do I’ve been on the other side of that door”. I say.

  Yamasaki leaves for other business as I go back into my room. Jet soon arrives in our room to go to sleep and as do I.

  My night is full of new nightmares, I’m the Triple Psychian and Kita is in front of me. His black formal suit with four buttons down the middle and his black slacks. He’s standing in front of me not a scratch on him, my body bruised and beaten. He stands over me and just before his blade goes into my head, I’m woken up.

  Jet is huddled over me telling me to wake up.

  “It’s not too long before yours and Yamasaki’s fight”. Jet says.

  Jet and I are about to go to the North courtyard when Yamasaki’s hand stops us.

  “My master is here, come look”. Yamasaki says.

  We go into the main corridor and see a man standing in front of Ikeya. Hiraski has long brown hair, samurai armor and almost an exact replica to Yamasaki’s dragon blade.

  “Is that him”? I ask.

  “No, that’s not him”.

  “To all of you students my name is Hiraski and after the next two days Ikeya’s school will be no more”. He says.

  Hiraski walks over to the three of us.

  “Master Aitaku has gone rogue and evil I’ve taken over now”. He says.

  “And who has given you the right to say my school has to be taken down”? Ikeya asks.

  “By these written laws passed down to my superiors over time. Those who obey the homicidal and evil die”. Hiraski says.

  “Sounds like to me your trying to take the Triple Psychian’s place. I am one of the royals, you cannot question my loyalty”.

  “I am direct descendant of the Triple Psychian”. Claims Hiraski.

  “How would he know that information, the Triple Psychian had no family I thought”? I say.

  “Hiraski and Aitaku is the information hub of the world”. Yamasaki says.

  “Shut down peacefully or face the consequences Ikeya”. Hiraski warns.

  Without saying a word Ikeya charges at Hiraski, he ducks our master’s attack and puts an energy ball to his stomach. The energy ball has something glowing in the middle. The attack sends Ikeya flying to the wall when he hits the energy ball opens up. Life energy rains upon Ikeya. Damaged from the attack Ikeya falls to ground he stammers to get up.

  “Time to end your career Ikeya”! Hiraski yells.

  A shield goes above all of the student’s heads, as Hiraski uses his energy to destroy the roof of the training center.

  Yamasaki pulls out a hand tazer to put on Ikeya but right when he’s about to Ikeya reaches in his shirt and throws a smoke pellet to the ground. Hiraski and Yamasaki frantically look to find Ikeya but cannot see him. The roof of the training center comes barreling down. All the students are in a panic as to what’s happened. Hiraski and Yamasaki come walking over to me followed by Sorona and Sange.

  “Shinruga, heard a lot about you my name is Hiraski the leader of the school in Saya. I’d be honored if you attend my school your friends Sorona and Sange as well. From what I understand Jet is already a Shogun”.

  I look over to see Yamasaki with his usual grin.

  “In the next few days my team will come destroy this place and bury the doors to which those creatures can get out. Yamasaki is one of my prized students and is cooperating to help that the next Triple Psychian doesn’t turn evil. Jet if you want to go see a great teacher and help the cause go visit Master Itchitori in this city on the map”.

  Saya is a two month trip, past the major cities and is out in the middle of nowhere. We will surely run into trouble, which doesn’t seem to bother me.

  Hiraski hands me a piece of paper which is marked where Saya is located. The two of them walk out of the corridor and into the student’s rooms.

  X soon joins around us and we tell him of the information we’ve learned. Jet and I soon go back to our room and start packing up our stuff. We meet X, Sange and Sorona outside of the school. The five of us turn to take one last look at our old school before we depart to Furrock’s house.
