I opened the door and walked over to his room, his door was open and he was sitting down at a table with 2 other chairs. "Sit down kid I have some explaining to do". We walk in and we both sit down. I put the painting on the table and asked: "what is this?" I slide it across the table, he picks it up and looks at it for a few seconds. "This painting was from 500 years ago, this was our last painting together. We didn't have many paintings from back then because we didn't have cameras obviously."
"This painting was from 500 years ago, this was our last painting together. We didn't have many paintings from back then because we didn't have cameras obviously."
"Is your name Daichi Takahashi?"
"Yes it is, I'm sure you have heard it before In books."
"Why does the person in the painting look like me... but older?"
"I have to start from the beginning, so let me explain it take a bit. I won't go into too much detail so if you have questions save them for later"
"When I was born I manifested my time power at the age of 12, I was late but my parents supported me all the way until someone broke in. I woke up to things falling, I hurried downstairs and I saw my parents dead, on the ground I was devastated. I let my anger take over and I did something I never thought I could do. I condensed my time energy into a small blade, I almost teleported in front of him and jammed the knife into his stomach. The knife did something incredible, It reversed the time in his body really fast. Starting from the puncture wound he started fading away, he was scared. his clothes were left behind except for his shirt. I realized that my powers were starting to become more and more powerful as I got older, I didn't have any other relatives to go to, I didn't have food, water, or shelter. So what I tried to do was keep my body stuck in time so I didn't go hungry, I didn't become thirsty, I didn't feel too hot to too cold, and I never felt tired which gave me the biggest advantage over my opponents."
"I started going on journeys to places men have never been to, finding things that people never thought existed, I was able to missions and go places that were too dangerous for other people. I was practically immortal. On one of my journeys you were knocked out, I helped get you back on your feet and I let you travel with me. We traveled together and became good friends over the 5 years we spent together."
Then something happened while I was about to leave on a trip. A massive black hole opened up 17 miles from the kingdom, I could feel it. I headed over to where I sensed it and there it was, a huge beast strong enough to wipe out the whole kingdom. I headed back to the Kingdom and I told the king to tell everyone to evacuate the west side of the kingdom immediately, I told him there was a huge beast. I knew the beast was something I could not have taken down. In 30 minutes everyone was safely evacuated with the water and winged knights help. 20 minutes later the beast was in sight, It was big... really big, at least 300 meters tall. It destroyed half of the west side of the kingdom, I tried to stop it but I couldn't, I was the most powerful in the kingdom... so I lost hope. I lost hope until you, Yuki, appeared in front of me. I massive purple bolt of lightning struck down in front of me and you appeared. You stood confidently knowing the situation and how strong the beast was. I told you to get out it was too dangerous, but you didn't listen to me. He tossed me the purple gem and you said to find him in 500 years."
"He did something amazing. A big cloud formed right above us in the night sky, the clouds were full of black-lighting. It came down and struck him, he was all black-white lines going from his forehead down, I could tell this was the most powerful thing anyone has ever seen, the ground beneath his feet was shaking and there was lightning coming out from the ground. This was way far past my skill, like at least 50 times stronger than me. No one came close to this power... except for this beast. Another cloud started forming above the beast and he looked back at me and said "Goodbye... for now". Then from the cloud, a huge back strike of lightning came down piercing the beast through the stomach. The power of that lightning strike was recorded as the most powerful strike in history. He turned around to look at me, he fell on to his knees and started to fade away and said: "I've sealed the sorcerer of this beast away and he will reincarnate after 500 years... when the time comes close, come and find me... Thank you for everything". He completely faded away and the things that were left behind were his clothes and his chain."
After listening to that story I said "So am I the reincarnation of this other man from 500 years ago?" He said "Yes you are, and that also means I need to train you to be able to defeat this sorcerer of that beast. He is outrageously strong so I must prepare you properly." I realized that the purple stone had something to do with me 500 years ago. "Then what was the purple stone you put in me" He paused and said, "That's a topic for a later time, go back to your rooms and go to sleep I'm tired right now."
We headed back to our room and Hina told me to turn around because she needed to change, I saw down looking at the painting and started to think about how I might be the entire fate of this world and what the purple gem was for. Was my purpose in life to protect this world. I still was confused about everything. Hina said she was done so I turned around and she was in a nightgown. I walked towards the bad and told her to turn around, I took off my shirt and my pants and put on a tank top. Hina was staring at me with a bright red face. I didn't give it any thought. I blew out the candles and claimed into the bed. I was facing up and I was still thinking about everything he explained. I was thinking that I have to sacrifice myself like I did 500 ago. I started crying, Hina's hand reached over and wiped the tears off my face and said: "There is no reason to cry, you are this world's protector." I started crying even more and broke down while laying down in bed. Hina helps me sit up and she grabs my shoulders and said: "You will be fine, I know you will." I lean forward and hug her, my body acted on its own. I was terrified at the fact that I might die in the near future.
She hugged me back comforted me. We stayed like this for 30 seconds before she pulled back and leaned over and whispered in my ears: "I know you can do it" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. My eyes were still tearing up so Hina and I laid down and she hugged me again with our foreheads against each other, her hands were on my face and kept looking into my eyes until I started to drift asleep. She mumbled something and held me tighter but I couldn't hear her. I fell asleep in Hina's arms. Hina showed me the love I need in life like no other. Hina is dear to me, a precious person I never want to let go of.
