He tries as hard as he can to swim. But it is useless. he has lose his strength. he cannot do anything, but sinks down deeper into the sea. He totally loses his breath.

It feels like a dream. The cold sea water that surrounds him slowly become warm. He hears some voices. But before he blacks out, that is the last thing he remembers before his eyes close.

For some time, he thinks that he is already dies. But the feel of the warm touch on his forehead wakes him. Surprise, the little girl who treats him runs out from the room and calls her mom loudly.

As the little girl leaves him alone, he tries to sit. But suddenly he realizes that he is too weak to sit. He lays on the bed. Glaring at every inches of the room. He really does not has any idea where he is.  A few second past, there is an old lady standing at the door, looking at him with a warm smile.

After the old lady gives the young man a meal and some medicines, she tells him to rest for some more time. She also tells that her husband and herself would like to have a talk with him when he is fine enough. The young does not say a word, but he nod. He falls asleep as he closes his eyes.

That night, he wake up again. He could feels that his body is much better than before. The old man introduces himself as Dale and his wife Jane. After having a short conversation, Dale ask the young man about himself. That is the worst part which is the young man just realizes that he totally lost his memories.

Pitying to the young man, the kind-hearted couple offers him to stay with them until he cures and gains his memories back. Aggrieves with the kindness shown by them, he tells them that he will repays them when he is cure. Both of them are so happy to hear them. They also introduce their daughter to him, a little girl name Huesca. As the young man loses his memories that make he can’t remembered his own name, the call him Ayls.

As the time passes, Ayls cures and help them. Day by days, he gets closes with them, especially with Huesca. The little girl exactly talkative and cheerful. He always hears she tells him a story about her admirable brother, who is out working for a kingdom which is far away from their home.  A brother who only returns once in three years.

Two year has pass since Ayls lives with them. And it was the years which Huesca lovely brother return. The talkative lady was too excited to introduce Ayls to him.

But, when the days come, an unexpected things happens. As Huesca’s brother, Max, meet him, the man calls him with the royal call. Ayls could not deny it as he totally loses his memories. Knowing the fact that the lost prince in front of him lost his memories, Max tells his family and Ayls himself who the lost-memory-guy  true self.

Ayls true name is Darelza Ash, he is a prince of Frosteen Kingdom. Since two years ago, a rumors about the prince died in the shipwrecked  has spreads. However, the king and his loyalty servants never believed it as they did not found the prince’s dead body. They also believed that the shipwrecked doing was a sabotage from Azlea Kingdom, a kingdom that has turns their loyalty from Frosteen Kingdom. But they could not judge it as they did not had enough proof.

A month had passed since the shipwrecked incident, the king falls sick as the rumors of his beloved prince died become worst. All of that was because their marines army found the corpses of the Five Knights, a group of knights that has been ordered to guard the prince safety.

Done with the story, Max tells Ayls that he wants the prince to follow him to his homeland after he’s done with his holiday. Ayls cannot refuses the order because Max tells him that the birth sign on his chest is the mark for his royalty.

Three weak passes and Ayls follow Max back to Frosteen Kingdom. Before Ayls leaves the kind-hearted family, Huesca gives him a flute since she knows  the fact that Ayls is good at playing blow type instruments.

Along the journey back to the Frosteen Kingdom, with the ship, Ayls spends his time mostly with playing the flute given by Huesca. He still cannot accept the fact that he is a prince. While he enjoys playing the flute, suddenly he feels a hand touch his shoulder.

When he turn his face back, a group of five men are smiling at him. Praising him for playing the flute nicely, they then invite him to join them to spend their time together playing their own percussions. Ayls agrees since he has no friend on this ship, excluding the Max guy, who does not want to be known as a friend but as a servant.

They get close as fast as lightning as the time passed. Flayn, Archen, Ellof, Bellert and Garrez. All of them had their own percussions.

They are enjoying play their own percussions that make they did not realizes that they has produces a nice performances. When they stop, a big applause are given to them by the others. A déjà vu feelings, suddenly feels by Ayls. It feels like he had done this before. But he throws the feels away, think that it may be caused by himself that has lost his memories.

He has so much fun with all his new friends. For each day on the ship, they spend their time together. They are too engrossed with their days together that makes no one expected a worst thing will happens.

That night, it was just like another night. No one ever had an idea that their ships will be attack by a crook of pirates. Everything happens too fast. Many passengers have been killed. Their properties being robbed. The same thing also happens to Ayls.

As a servant to the Frosteen royal’s family, Max tries his best to protect the prince. Until one moments, he blacks out because of his injuries become worst. Ayls tries to protect Max and himself from being killed but suddenly his head become painful. It is like he sees a slide of image but it is too blur. At the same time, he know he will be killed by those pirates. He closes his eyes as tight as he can.

A bullet has been shooted but nothing happens to himself. Thinking it was weird, Ayls open his eyes. Surprisingly, he sees Garrez is standing  in front of him, holding a gun, and had shooted the pirates. After Garrez, Ellof and Flayn appears to help him. Flayn carries Max on his back while Ellof take them to the safety boat, where Bellert and Archen are waiting for them. Garrez follows them from the back to make sure there is no pirates attacking  them from behind.

While they are running, something hard bumps on Ayls head. His injuries become worst that makes Garrez needs to carry him. As they reach Archen and Bellert, they put both of the injured guy into the safety boat, then pulling down the rope.

Even  his condition is getting worse, Ayls refuses. He wants all of them to get into the boat too. While he is refusing, they hears an explosion, certainly a bomb that has been set by those pirates. Did not minding Ayls’s refussion, Archen and Bellert pull it faster. As the boat reaches the sea, and they had cut the rope, another explosion happens. It makes the boat forcely being push far from the ship that will be sunk anytime.

From where he is floating, he can see the whole things happens. A flame cover all over the chip. The ship gonna be sank. He knows the feelings. He had it before. He is far from the ship, yet he still tries to look at his friends.

He screams their names, one by one. As his eyes catches a figure, he suddenly shut up. Archen, Ellof, Fayn, Bellert and Garrez are looking at him, giving him a calm smile. Each of them are holding their percussions, ready to play them.

When they started playing their own percussions, a tear rolls down from Ayls eyes. They are his knights, the Five Knights. At last, he as regains his memories back.

He hears Fayn’s voice whispering to him.

“Your Highness, we are your loyalty knights. Your safety is our first priority. Even if it means our lives.”

The prince regains his memories. Yes, they are his Five Knights, the brave knights he ever know. He remember the sign, that is the last thing he remembers before he completely blacks out in the sea. It was the sign of his knights.

Knowing the fact that they are spirits, the prince gazes at them deeply, he never once blinks his eyes. He murmured thanking them for guarding his safety. Even it is just their spirits who guards him.
