Log of September 2, 1945.
World War II finally ended, our troops now return home after the ceremony has ended, personally, I am relieved that our country took the right position next to the victors, I would not like to imagine what would have happened if we had continued against the allies ... I was walking around the city while watching my surroundings...
I am a simple soldier who could live thanks to others, I do not consider myself anything special... my life does not matter to me, now I am only a mere tool of war that seeks to redeem itself for the lives that were lost because of it...
I crossed that street where a fountain resides, as I used to, I threw a coin to the fountain to make a wish, have peace... I continued my way home until I saw the bridge attraversamento di stelle, I started to walk in this but I stopped to see my reflection in the water, everything seemed so peaceful...
I did not enjoy that tranquility for a long time, since a strange glow began to illuminate the sky... it could be a projectile but it didn't have a well-defined shape, it looked like a spectrum of light, it was heading straight for the bridge I was on so I ran as fast as I could and almost got away but I heard an explosion, I knew my time had arrived so I closed my eyes maybe this was the death i deserve...
When I opened my eyes I realized that I was no longer in Italy, I was in a valley with destroyed buildings that were almost the same from my home... the bridge was gone, it was as if that glow had destroyed that part of Italy ... I tried to get up but something hit my head hard...
I turned to see who was responsible for that attack... to my surprise, It was a woman in a medieval dress, she hit me with what seemed to be a staff, she looked a bit nervous, I got up stealthily to avoid scaring her and take another hit...
I pulled out my gun slowly and pointed at the girl...
Giorgio: Tell me who you are and why you hit me, otherwise I will be forced to attack!
Hekima: Only If you put that thing down...
Giorgio: I won't...
Hekima: Then, I'm not going to take responsability of what I'm going to do...
The girl stepped back and pointed at me with her staff, it began to glow and shot something at me, I used my weapon to block the attack but it still pushed me back, the girl threw a phosphorescent green ball to the ground and a burst came out in front of me...
Hekima: I hit you to make sure you weren't an enemy with intentions to steal the relic of the eternal fire!
Giorgio: What is that? I don't even know what is this place.
Hekima: You don't know? Hmm...
The girl looked at me like if I was an idiot, then she closed her eyes as if she was thinking about something... She took a few minutes and then she smiled at me and held her hand to help me lift...
Hekima: Well that means you don't know anything about that, I'm Hekima Usui, current protector of the Usui temple, you can call me just Hekima... I've thought about it and I think you could help me, but I need you to introduce yourself properly traveler... You look like a warrior and also you have that strange weapon in your hands...
Giorgio: My name is Giorgio Alessandro Lombardi, former war commander, at your service... i guess i can help you my lady, my life is willing to help the others.
Hekima: A military leader, that sounds interesting... And, what brings you to Ylati?
Giorgio: Ylati? That sounds like Italy backwards...
Hekima: I see, then you come from another world, right?
Giorgio: It seems like that...
Hekima: Eureka! You probably saw a glow, right?
Giorgio: Sure enough, I was back home and then I got here...
Hekima: Well, that glow was also seen here, it is the most powerful attack of the demon Behemot, a beast that has wanted to eradicate the protectors of the crystals of the silver Moon... That attack was manifested at the same time that our worlds were linked, that link only occurs once every ten years, the case is that the attack cut the connection of our worlds and brought you to you along with part of the destroyed constructions of your world, you didn't died because the link of the worlds brought you here seconds before the explosion...
Giorgio: I don't understand at all...
Hekima: Okay, let's go to the Usui temple, there I can explain everything ...
I started to feel bad, my head hurt, when I touched it my hand was stained with blood... my head was bleeding from that blow of a while ago...
Hekima: Sorry... I think I may have some bandages around here...
The girl with rabbit ears began to bandage my head but I started to faint, it was like a hemorrhage, I lost consciousness...
The moment I woke up, I saw the girl with bunny ears again, she was smiling while holding a tray with tea and cookies, she brought it to me, I noticed that my surroundings had a classic Japanese design, it was strange but pleasant to the view...
Hekima: Do you want some tea?
Giorgio: Why are you behaving so friendly? An hour ago we were opponents...
Hekima: Well, now we're allies, and my parents taught me that if you're going to work with someone, you should at least get along with them...
Giorgio: I guess it's true, anyway, but how is that link possible in our worlds?
Hekima: Well, the legend says that many years ago, the silver moon began to illuminate a path to the ancient inhabitants of the earth, the moon illuminated an exact point, where two civilizations met, the civilization of your world and the civilization of my world... since that day, every ten years our civilizations established communication in that place and exchanged their innovations, that is why that land was called Ylati, since the inhabitants of the other world said they lived in Italy... but from years, your world and mine weren't able to make a link because of wars and some things that stopped the natural course of the silver moon... IT's been like hundred years since the last world link happened...
Giorgio: And what are the crystals of the silver moon?
Hekima: They are the reason why Nagareboshi and Gingetsu are named like that.. The silver moon gave powerful crystals to humans, they came like a falling star, that is the meaning of Nagareboshi and Gingetsu means silver moon... the demon Behemoth wanted to kill every creature and control the world so, with the help of these, humans controlled the elements and defeated the monster, after the fight each crystal was in the care of a powerful family ... the crystal of mother earth was under the care of the family of earth dragons Tokage, the Hi no shita clan in the depths of the Shizen Hikari caves... the crystal of the eternal fire was at care of my family, the Usui family here in Ylati... the crystal of the icy water was under the care of the ice men of Kotta Dokutsu... and the crystal of wind was in the care of the wise Hisao Tenshi, who hides in the desert from Ikigurushi-sa... or so i heard...
Giorgio: But, if Behemoth was defeated, how did he execute his attack on our worlds?
Hekima: That is the problem, he returned... someone released him from the seal that had him imprisoned, right now he seeks to collect the crystals of the silver moon to destroy them all and prevent us from having the slightest chance of counterattacking him... Until the moment, we don't know which crystal it comes from, but that last attack means that it has regained half of its power, that it is coming for us and that it will have no mercy...
Giorgio: And what can we do?
Hekima: Gather all the crystals... only then can we stop him... the four crystals together can stop him... I can't go alone, it's very dangerous, even for me, that's why I need you to come with me...
Giorgio: I will, he attacked my world too so I have to do something the war in my land was over and all the people had planned to continue with their lives but because of this person, none of them will be able to do it ever again... also, i should seek redemption for my mistakes... I
In this way, I decided to give my life to a new mission, perhaps so my death is something dignified and worthwhile... I don't know what may happen but I seek to amend my mistakes that cost the lives of innocents and my friends...
Innocent lives were lost because of me so I am ready to help you and reach peace...
Hekima: I understand that feeling... well, follow me, there are some things I need to do.
