In a world long ago, there lie two kingdoms. The kingdom of Golden Sun, and the kingdom of Silver Moon. And in both kingdoms are knights of the royal family. The god and ruler of the moon, Tsukuyomi- selects her children. Those people are born as Silver Knights in Silver Moon. The ruler of the sun- Amaterasu, chooses the children born of the sun in Golden Sun. Now you can still choose whether you would like to be a knight. Some would like to lead calm lives. These two kingdoms have been at war since the beginning of their time. Now of course, they are peaceful when they like. Yet, the kingdom of Golden Sun has a rowdy, aggressive monarch. The royal family's main objective is to get rid of all Silver people.
Now that you know enough about the world and how it works, let's continue to the main story. One day, a Silver person was born in the sun, during the day. Because it was very unnatural, the news spread through the kingdom like wildfire. That same night, the Golden Sun royal prince was born at night. The news was so important that it had reached Silver Moon by dawn. As time faded, everyone was forbidden to talk about this. But since the Silver person was none but a normal knight, the news soon became forgotten. Now that Silver person was me, Ginno Tsuki. And this story is about me and my journey as a silver knight.
When I was only 12, I joined the Silver knights. I still remember the day. I had gotten past the royal guards and got straight into the castle. As I made my way to the throne room I assumed that I'd gotten past all security. But just as I reached the throne room doors I was stopped. A guard had put their sword up to my chest. "Halt"! I could see dark eyes through the slots in their helmet. As they removed it, long black hair fell out of it. A tall, obviously slender woman. She had a clear image of a bishop. "I am Armona Bleak, the king's left bishop. Who are you and how did you get in here"? "I am Ginno Tsuki, 12 years old. I wish to become a knight of the King. I have stealthily moved my way past all security to get in, ma'am".
Armona scoffed before looking me up and down. "You... managed to get past all of the security"? "Yes, ma'am". "I ask that you remove the hat on your head". I had on a beanie, covering my head. My hair was seen as unusual to my peers, so I hide it. "Do I have the right to deny, ma'am"? "No", she said, with a stern voice. I slowly removed the hat, letting my purple, shoulder length hair fall down. Her face went from stern to shocked. "Purple hair? Purple hair like...-". "Like the god Tsukuyomi along with the first queen, Mikoto. Trust me, ma'am- I am no royal at all". She looked at me again. "Clearly not", she said, grabbing my arm. She flung open the doors of the throne room. The King, Queen, both Princesses, and the Prince sat there.
"Hello my king", Armona took a bow. I followed and bowed. "Who is this", the queen asked. I stepped up and put my right hand over my chest and my left arm behind my back. "I am Ginno Tsuki, age 12-." "Remove your hat", the king said, his voice dominating mine. I took my beanie back off and let my hair fall to my shoulders. "You have the hair of royalty". "I am no royalty my king, I am none but a peasant". "So how do you have hair of such color"? "I believe I was either cursed or blessed by the gods... for I was also born in the sun". The room went quiet. "You were born in the sun", the queen asked. "Yes... I was". "I remember that news... 12 years ago", the oldest Princess said. "A silver person was born during the day. The same day the Gold prince was born at night", the queen said. "Why are you here", the king asked.
"I am here because I would like to become a knight". "You are none but 12, you don't join knight training until 16", the king said. "I know that sir. But I believe that I am skilled enough to join as of now". The king laughed in my face. His children even chuckled. "Well so be it! Armon", he called. A knight stepped forward and removed his helmet. He was the right bishop, and looked just like Armona. "This is Armon, my right bishop. If you can beat him in a duel, you will be allowed to join as a knight, immediately".
Armon laughed, "Okay". They gave me the smallest female armor they had. I stood in front of Armon with my hands at my sides. He stood, ready to duel. "Are you not nervous, child"? "No, I fear not a bishop". "Do you fear your king". I stood quietly for a second. "I'd rather not answer such a rhetorical question". "Fight", the queen shouted. Armon swung his sword and I dodged it. I came up behind him and hit him in the back. He fell forward and turned around and swung again, hitting me in the chest. He did a low kick and knocked me off my feet. The king laughed, "Where did all that confidence go"? I sighed and got back up. "I wanted to go easy on you, but I fear you left me no choice". "Oh, are you going to tell your mother now", Armon laughed. I got low slicing behind his right knee.
"Agh"! Then as I got up, I sliced behind the left. He fell to his knees. And as I stood completely tall I snatched his helmet before uppercutting him. He fell back and started to groan in pain. The royal family stood in silence. Armona's face was emotionless, showing no concern for her brother. "Well... although removing another knight's helmet is uncommon... you've won". I smiled as I took off my helmet. "You may keep the armor... and I will have an official suit waiting for you at the castle gates. Congratulations". "Thank you, your majesty". "You've earned it. Now I advise you leave before Armon is able to walk again. He's a bit... aggressive".
As I exited the castle, there was a squire standing there. A black and violet official suit was folded neatly in his hands."Congrats", he said. "Thank you", I said grabbing the suit. I was assigned one of the leading roles and became the youngest knight to ever join the league. And that was the day I became a knight.
