Prologue:
The Kingdom of Marino sat beside the sea. Tall stone walls surrounded the city as crashing waves hit them day and night. Inside those walls, the Kingdom was alive. Merchants and wandering traders filled the streets selling items ranging from fish, produce, tools to magical artifacts. The fish market was the most busy, the fishing culture was Marino itself. The dangerous seas surrounding Marino had the finest fish in the world, people from all across the world came to the capitol for the opportunity to eat rare fish.
Today is a special day in Marino, it was the Magical Item Selection Day.
Once a year, every young Marino comes here to receive a magical item. These items came in many forms from rings to necklaces to swords to spirits. Each item contains a star level and a magic type. The star level deems the rarity of the item or magic or in certain cases the sheer strength of the item. The item and its rarity is quite the important event for anyone as the economy of Marino is dependent on the use of magic in many different fields ranging from agriculture to fishing to construction. The Great Wizard of Marino Volk oversees all these magical items allowing our destiny to form as the items bond to us.
INT: The doors of the Kingdoms magic sector swing open as hundreds of young Marinos rush in the building. As the last Marinos enter the building the giant doors swing close behind them, on the ledge above them stairs begin to form going downwards as the great "Volk" appears.
Volk: (Slight Coarse Throat) H-Hello my fellow Marinos, I understand it's the big day as I Volk the gatekeeper of the magic in this kingdom must set these items free to bond with you all.
???: Man I hope I don't have to stay at home working with my dad on the farm
??? : Best of luck brother I don't want to stay fishing my whole life laughs awkwardly
Volk: Now I must let this begin. (Swing of arms which opens every crevice from the magical library). May the bonding commence.
Hundreds of items fly through the air bonding to people
??? : I got a necklace!
???: I got a Chain?
???: I GOT A SAW!
???: I got a man? What.
???: Hello!!!
Volk: This is my favorite day of the year, don't you agree Maximus? (A Spirit in the shape of a Hamster burrows out of his beard)
Maximus: Yes indeed Master I remember when we met during this same day almost 200 years ago.
Volk: A long long time ago for sure. Now everyone! Go out and explore the world and strengthen the bond between you and your item. It truly is a special bond.
Cedric: I got a spector!
Percy: I got this pistol of some sort?
Cedric: WE CAN TRAIN TOGETHER, LONG TO MID RANGE MAGIC. UP HIGH BABY
Percy leaves Cedric hanging as Cedrics smile quickly turns into a serious face.
Cedric: cmonnnn man.
Aleksandre: Dude you got a SPECTOR? I got two lousy bracelets and I haven't figured out what they do.
Cedric : Hell yeah I did, I don't know what magic I got though. But I hope this will help my case for the Royal Knight selections in the next month.
Aleksandre: (Jumping around/Geeking out) ICE MAGIC?!??!?!?! THATS SO COOL
*Strange Noise Occurs* What was that? (Pans down to his arms). Multiple Spirit Orbs surrounding his bracelets.
Cedric : I see, I believe that the bracelet you have received contains spirits in which you can contract.
Spirits: (Unison) "Aleksandre we must agree to a contract for you to be able to use us"
Aleksandre: Hmmm a contract? I'm willing to give up anything, I need to become a royal knight. My little sister Rachel is sick. The only way to get that treatment is through my selection in the force. I agree under any condition.
Spirits: (Unison) " We offer our mana manipulation and mana constructs in return for your eye, allow us to see through you."
Aleksandre: Geez man, you trying to make me lose my best asset? Kidding of course, I ACCEPT! (Binding the terms. He drops to the floor in immense pain as the loss of the eye was imminent).
Aleksandres eye now remains foggy as his vision is lost, the spirits in which he contracts to are able to see through said eye.
Spirits: (Happy Upbeat Tone) "Well now we can finally introduce ourselves. There are 6 of us, we are ready to help you accomplish this goal.

INT: Tavern in Marino - Night
Sol Von Marino : All drinks on me! To a night we won't forget
Percy : Doesn't she mean all drinks on her father? I mean he's quite literally the KING of this nation, he calls all the shots.
Sol Von Marino : What did you say? Say that to my face. I've accomplished things on my own.
Percy: Like what? Mooch off your royal status. I mean you're guaranteed a spot in that royal selection for what.
Sol: If I get into the royal guard, which I will it will solely be determined by my character and abilities. I promise you my last name does not change anything about that.
Percy: bullshit.
Sol Von Marino reaches outwards trying to push Percy as he quickly takes a step backwards raising his fists in reaction.
A Figure emerges from the darkness
???: Now let's not ruin a fun night shall we (pulls hood off of head) revealing himself as the well known knight of Marino.
Everyone in Unison Bows ( Some are slow to do so such as Aleksandre).
Cedric pulls Aleksandre down.
Cedric: Do you not know who that is? He is ERLING ANDERSON THE NUMBER ONE KNIGHT OF MARINO, ARE YOU CRAZY! SHOW SOME RESPECT. I have heard crazy stories such as him concealing his magic when nearby people like us for our own good! That is some crazy mana.
Aleksandre : I didn't know! I don't pay attention to this stuff
Erling : Now I came here solely for recruiting purposes, as you should know in the next month there will be the royal selection. A test for the ages to see if you can handle being on the frontlines for this beautiful country. I want to see you all there.
Everyone: (Unison) Yes sir.
Erling heads for the door slamming it behind him, the door hinges break off completely.
Worker: HEY!
Nightfall passes by as Cedric, Percy and Aleksandre bond over drinks, the Tavern is empty by morning yet the trio leaves at the crack of dawn.
Aleksandre: Good god I am out of it
Cedric: Telllll me about it….
Percy: Weaksauce…
The trio enters a local inn as Aleksandre walks pass the waitress,
Waitress: HEY YOU GOTTA PAY DONT EVEN!
The waitress smacks Aleksandre across the face as he jumps backwards holding his face.
Aleksandre: WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY LADY! I'M A ROYAL KNIGHT.
Cedric: ( Whisper) Not yet…
Aleskandre: SHUT UPPPP
