*Chapter 1:  The Beginning*

          “Mirai!  I found something interesting in the Ancient Library!” Mihakken hurried up to Mirai to show her the book called ‘Ancient Times’.  Mirai, who is lying on her bed thinking of what to write next in her letter, exclaimed, “Whatever!” 

Mihakken jumped on to the bed causing Mirai to bounce.  Mirai glared at Mihakken.  Her face turned red in anger as if it would erupt like a volcano.  Mihakken tried not to laugh at Mirai’s face but it seems that she wasn’t able to hold it in.  She burst out laughing at Mirai already rolling on the bed. 

Mirai hit Mihakken with a pillow saying, “Why do you have to do THAT!?!!”  Mihakken just continued laughing.  Mirai sweat dropped. ‘What’s with this girl?’ Mirai thought.

Mihakken came to her senses and straightened up.  “Ok… I’m done.  Anyway, where was I?”  Mirai just stared at her weirdly.  “Hehe…!  Oh yeah!”  Mihakken opened the book to the page where a picture of a silver horse with wings can be found.  “Listen to this,” Mihakken begun, “According to legend, there existed a rare silver Pegasus.  It is a winged horse that is believed to be magical.”  Mihakken continues to read as Mirai starts to get interested about the topic.  “In the legend, it says that whoever can find this silver Pegasus and can ride onto it will be brought to a mysterious place unknown to man…”

The two of them read the book.  Finally, they finished reading.  “So what shall we do?” asked Mihakken.  Mirai replied with a grin, “I say we go and find that creature.”  “Alright! Let’s leave tomorrow!”  Mihakken said excitedly jumping out of the bed and left singing a song.  Mirai face faulted.

That night, they slept early in preparation for their quest, to find the rare silver Pegasus.

The roosters crowed as the sun slowly peeked from behind the mountains.  People start to come out of their houses and greet their neighbors.  Some people are still enjoying their dreams, curling up on their bed.  Smokes are coming out of the chimneys by the cooking of some people.

The smell of fresh pancakes and honey escape from the window of the beautiful house near the creek.  Eating those pancakes are Mihakken and Mirai.  They also talk about their upcoming journey, which is today.  “Mirai, I’m so excited!   The experience of meeting someone strange to us… new places… beautiful sceneries of these places… fighting enemies… Wow…” Mihakken said while dreaming of those things and sighed.
