"Attitude young missy" Orion says while putting his hands on his hips. He looks exactly like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Hahaha" I start laughing. Orion joins in a few seconds later.
Both of us are just laughing for a minute until Astrid tells me to hurry up and go home in case there is people waiting to ambush us.
"Okay let's go" I say while trying to dust off the grass and dirt on the back of my black hoodie.
"Okay let's go" Orion repeats while getting up himself and starts walking in front of me. I walk faster to catch up with his long strides. I walk with lighter footsteps that's for sure.
A small but loving smile bloom on my face. Oh, how I just love my brother and his attitude.
After about 2 hours we finally arrive at a 12-foot gate. On the gate is a purple, red and black phoenix entangled with a red, black and silver dragon. It looks like the yin and yang symbol. The phoenix is the yin and the dragon is the yang.
Above the heads is a sign saying, MURA CASTLE. This was originally my mother's castle she built around about 200 years ago. My mother has always love decorating seriously she decorated and helped construct nearly all our uncles and aunts' houses.
Our mother inherited this plot of land from her grandmother Krysta Stone when she was murdered by an enemy nearly 225 years ago. It took nearly 5 years just to find Grandmother Krysta's will seeing as she hid it in the Stone castle. The Stone castle is nearly 3500 years old. There are a lot of hidden rooms in the Stone castle. The reason it is called Stone castle is because their surname and it is built using stone.
Stone is my Grandfather Leon's last name. The reason of different last names is because my mother and her older twin sister took Grandmother Edith's maiden name which is Yukimura.
I walk up to a little black box and press the silver button.
"Open the gate" I say through the intercom. There is no response.
"What's the password" A cute girl voice speaks from the intercom you could clearly tell it's a child.
"Wakai mausu Anastasia "I say the first two words are little mouse in Japanese.
"No" The girl voice called Anastasia says.
"Did I get it wrong because I put your name in it" I ask Anastasia.
"Yup"
"Okay. Wakai mausu"
"Correct" Anastasia says.
The gates start opening with a small creak but other than that everything else goes smoothly.
I look to my left where a few hours away is another castle built for my younger brothers which no human has stepped in for years the only things that go in there are my ototo's pixies and animals. [Ototo means younger brother in Japanese].
The pixies are small tiny creatures that kind of look like human but with long pointy ears they come in all colours and shapes from all over the world. They are there to clean and keep the place tidy while looking after my ototo's animals.
The pixies are there by their choice after my ototo's died i thought that they'd go back to Renata their home dimension. There are quite a few animals that my ototo's were raising all of which are still alive and thriving.
When a royal family member is born, they are given 2 pixies 1 royal guard and a few animals. The pixies will serve as a nanny and a guardian. You could get any combination girl/boy, girl/girl or boy/boy either way they will live for how long you live but if you die, they will die slowly for 10 years at the most.
My ototo's pixies have survived for more than a decade already they could actually live up to their full life span of 1000.
Orion and i both have pixies, animals and royal guards. Orion's pixies and guards are both male whereas his animals are mixed.
He has a white male tiger called Hayan [meaning white in Korean] and a beautiful female Axolotl or better known as the Mexican salamander called Yeoja [meaning female in Korean]. His royal guard is a 19 years old Japanese guy called Saisho [meaning first in Japanese]. Orion's pixies are from Korean origin so are named Meonjeo and Duljjae [meaning first and second in Korean].
You'll meet my pixies, royal guard and animals soon.
Orion and I walk through the gate we are a few metres away when the gate starts closing and after a few seconds is finally closed. We keep walking for 20 minutes until we come across a huge camouflage barn.
We walk up to the barn it has a huge lock on the sliding door except there is no keyhole instead there is a small circle carved out of the lock. I take the necklace around my neck out it is the exact same size of the circle on the lock. I place my necklace in the circle, it takes a few seconds until the lock glows with a dark purple light.
The lock starts to fall to the ground before it touches the ground, I catch it and put it into my pocket. I take my necklace out of the lock.
My necklace has different colour spirit crystals in it, the circle is white it represents Yuki meaning snow in my surname and there is a couple of small houses inside the snowball with the walls being red spirit crystals and the triangle roof being of purple spirit crystals. The houses represent Mura meaning town/village.
Spirit crystals are only found in Renata it can give make your magic ability stronger. From the weakest to the strongest is Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, White, Black, Red and then Purple being the rarest. Spirit crystals come in all shapes and sizes. Spirit crystals grow on flowers but the flowers itself are rare and are found in odd places.
I grab the sliding door and slide it open it shows a lot of different coloured tarps covering something lumpy. I walk over to the first tarp and rip it off underneath is a dirt bike but not just any dirt bikes a purple and black KTM 450 SX-F with the number 13 on the side.
It has a much smaller frame and the centre of gravity is lower. With a bit of tinkering here and there it can get up to 150mph and it can turn on with both a key and jump start.
Orion goes to the motorbike right beside mine he pulls the tarp off it he has the same dirt bike but just a bit bigger and instead of having purple he has red and black with the number 12 on the side. His bike can also get up to 150mph.
I look at the ground beneath my feet. I am standing on old hay I take a step back and kneel to move the hay away underneath is a hole big enough to fit a finger in it.
I put my finger into the hole and pull it up underneath is a bunch of keys I take two pairs of keys out with the words KTM on it the first three letters of the dirt bike KTM 450 SX-F. The key was modified to say the letters KTM not to get confused with the other keys.
I throw one key to Orion while i jump on my dirt bike i put the key into the keyhole and grab onto the clutch, I twist the key around until it roars to life. I let it run for a minute or two before revving on the engine and slowly releasing the clutch my motorbike starts to move.
I slowly make my way out of the door and turn around to see Orion covering up the place where the keys are hidden and then kicking some old hay onto it. He starts his motorbike and comes out the barn slowly. He gets off his bike and closes the sliding door, he also puts the lock on. Soon we are ready to go.
"Race ya there" Orion says with a playful voice. He revs on the throttle making the engine roar louder his dirt bike starts moving going faster and faster until he is a hundred metres in front.
"You're on" I say but he's too far from me to hear. i rev on the throttle and start moving. In no time i am already a few metres behind I look around the forest there are a lot of trees not to mention they are tall.
There are a lot of different types of routes you could go for the straight flat ground like Orion or you could go for the bumpy trails like me.
How I just love motorbikes and what their capable of.
Something I forgot to mention is that Mura Castle has a total of 7 floors and is square. If you look up Buckingham Palace birds eye view it is similar is shape but not entirely.
