I hear it...
The symphony in my head humming Loudly.
A songs Rythum beat to my heart as I Slowly Awoke.
Silence returned as the Rythum slowly faded.
Although I knew the Melody I felt a tear stroll down my cheek.
I heard the voice Echo as The Rythum ended the voice felt familiar But it made my Soul shake As the Raven on my hand Reverberated.
I felt The heat Of a pair of eyes Burning into my chest, His intensity made me Feel small.
I just stared at Dwei in silence.
The Notices in my mind clouded The Thoughts and the Sounds clouded the Silence.
Although everything was clear!
I still Felt as if it was blurred.
I was going to make a comment but his hand raised to me, Cutting my train of thought off.
The atmosphere was heavy.
He walked away from me And left me alone it took me a moment Before I followed after him?!
It wasn't until we were back in this Home of his that words were spoken....
" After we have received the benefits...
I want you to revoke your Apprenticeship."
My chest tightened as his words came from his mouth.
Was I being thrown away?!
WHY?
Why did it hurt?
Why was this any different from the pain of my last life?
I had no Clue a pain like this existed even in my last life There was no match to this.
I flinched back to His words and Before I knew it I was walking out of the Comfy little home.
I heard him call after me but I didn't stop.
I had felt back stabbed.
I walked across the Corridors exiting the Darkness of the underground into the Nights sky.
The dark felt different with the two moons hanging in the sky.
I felt voided?!
In my mind I felt a pull on my Consciousness as Rainey chimed into my head.
" Sad?!"
it was one word...
" Because."
It was all I could say.
She shouldn't take too much of my troubles.
We may be connected but she shouldn't have to suffer my Pain.
I cut my mental connection off I felt her Push in bit by bit she was blocked out.
Until I no longer heard her Voice, Her presence carried until she finally gave up.
It wasn't Like I was taking it out on her...
I just felt my stomach twist as I slowly Understood I was Trash in this world.
There was no need to force my Problems onto others.
I walked to the guild Absent-minded as I entered.
The lady Received me with a smile as she took care of my paper work.
Although it was late at night the guild was opened 36 hours a day 8 days a week.
They didn't rest, She Opened my files.
Her eyes perked up as she speeds a few lines being cautious.
" I see Well young man It seems Your rank was issued a few hours ago.
You are ranked at Practitioner, Level one.
You also have been given a Mannatech Gel, And also have one pact Left to claim.
The guild Will issue you a free Beast from the list here.
Please read each one carefully.
If you would please show me your wrist for a moment."
I did as she asked and she touched a gel capsule to my arm It was like lotion as it was absorbed by my skin.
I felt the Heat In my wrist as the Chime sounded in my ear.
'Mannatech Service active, Femtomite machinery calculating connection.'
I didn't Care about that as I swallowed my saliva.
" I would like to Remove my apprenticeship relationship with DweiGege Cross..."
The woman's Eyes Whipped to me looking me in my eyes.
It seems she saw something in them I couldn't, I don't know if it was the tears.
Or was it the pain?
She spoke hesitantly.
" Are you sure, This action is not one that has a reversal...
If you do this the connection will be revoked and he can never accept you as an apprentice again.
It would also effectively have revoked an apprenticeship of your future as the Reflection on ones record is hardly overlooked?"
I Shrugged and she had no choice but to act on it.
She took a seal out and stamped a paper handing it over With a pad I stuck my thumb to it stamping the paper with the thumb print.
She sighed as she Entered the Paper into the machine.
" There it is done.
The guild still owes a beast pact and you will receive the other two benefits before leaving.
Remember That the job you are given can be accepted at any Guild building within the emeritus Region.
Once the emeritus has been left you must reestablish the work contract.
If you leave planet You must contact the Tamer's guild and pay for the Galactic Permit.
Although the rank and other matters will stay the same.
Those two occasions must be met with correct guidance."
She looked down and Tapped a few Buttons.
" The guild Funds for Practitioners is One Silver coin, Twenty five copper.
And one alliance coin.
The alliance coin can be used at any Star port, Spacial gate, or Rift.
They will allow one way travel Across at any sanctioned guild booth."
She handed me the bag with the currency and coin in it.
She looked at me Before she put her hand on my head.
" The older you get the more you will realize how unfair life is, Don't let it bother you and just live freely.
There is one more thing its about your last benefit."
She typed on the Holopad And made a few grunts.
Her eyes lit up as she Clicked The screen with vigorous actions.
" There Don't tell anyone, But I made some changes to your file.
I snuck in something that I think you will be able to use.
Don't let this get you down.
Even If you lose face that doesn't mean your life is over, Even the greatest of men Leon Cromwell was a Man who rebuilt A new Position from a wicked reputation!"
She handed me a small Black Box.
I opened it and inside was an insignia of my Raven on it Although the moment I touched it the insignia.
Changed Altering Amistad the aura released.
On it shone an Intricate insignia, A yin yang symbol Purple on one side with silver dot and a silver side with a purple dot.
Each dot was a symbol one a Bright silver raven, The other a small Purple Core With an outline of a ship.
The receptionists eyes Lit up.
Her hand covered my Insignia and with the serious look she gave me.
"Don't ever show that insignia off!?
Do you understand?"
Her eyes seemed to convey a hidden meaning but she didn't quit.
She even explained Quickly and quietly.
" Those of this realm Seek New experimental Essence.
The most we have found is Dual Cultivation.
And that split in a soul causes a cultivator to have weak Cultivation as the work is split between the duality.
If anyone was to find out you harbor three connections they would use you indefinitely for experimental research.
Take that Pendant and hide it.
The other trinket inside should also provide simple identification."
I noticed her line of site was on the box, I opened it once more and went into a confused state.
" Sh sh sh, not here.
First go claim Your pact.
Then proceed with making up your mind.
Get home and then Evaluate the received benefits.
The guild is a safe place but information is never safe in public."
I looked into her eyes and bowed gently.
" Thank you..."
Her eyes conveyed to me.
[ Receptionists thoughts]
~His age says seven?!
But he has already awakened?!
And tossed aside with such a weak point in cultivation...
For as long as I have been a receptionist.
Uncle... Master never mentioned this child From yesterday.
He only mentioned the girl But this was a boy?!
I understand that uncle Not mentioning him now was for the boys good.
To think that you would also effectively cast this boy aside... Weird uncle?!
Weird indeed, but thats not a reason To Treat other like garbage.
I hope that stone helps him some how, Maybe he will be able to accept the offer...
I was never expecting to get a person such as this at my desk.
But even if this realm loses a chance to help on this boys path.
the galaxy will eventually place him on his true path.~
With eyes that had a sharp look a man watched the exchange between the two his Chest was pained as he watched the scene.
The man turned away as the exchange ended.
A small shadow absorbed into his hand as it marked the boy.
The man Was Standing in the guild not to pry but because of the completion of a contract.
His attention brought to the boy, He felt the trauma In the boys soil and saw the age in his eyes.
' Rebirth?'
His mumbled word made the men behind him walking look only to turn and ignore him as the man's presence shook them.
Only a glance and they could tell this man was no good.
They looked away and dared not approaching, nor aggravating the man as they both left the area immediately, With cold sweat on their backs they disappeared!
...
Rin stood in the hallway as he read the paper he was holding.
'beast pacts available'
" transistor Wolf, Iron boar, Mud Bug, Grey rat, Black horn Beetle, Lunar jellyfish, And red hatter liger. "
Each one had a small description but made no sense to him.
He left it for the experience of meeting them.
He walked to the gruff man with a black beard that had Beast pact Recept.
His eyes were sharp and he beat around no bushes.
" Got an issue?"
I stood still contemplating what to say about this situation but he beat me to it.
"I was just waiting for someone to waste my time!?
Get to it child I got things to do, paperwork to file."
I cracked under the pressure.
" I am sorry to waste your time, I just had a beast pact available but it can wait until some other time."
I spun around and left immediately!
I had my head down as I rushed from the guild building.
I was outside looking at the Stars as I walked I set my path into the Forest I needed a place to sleep and I wasn't going to bother Dwei's domain.
I wasn't going back indefinitely actually.
So I just sacked it as I stared at the stars while walking through the city I was on my way...
I bumped into a man and I flinched as I felt the Sharp eyes hit me.
I put my head down and apologized profusely.
He grabbed me by my head and I felt weightless.
I prayed for safety with my eyes shut hoping I couldn't anger him anymore.
that hand was gentle as it held me suspended in air.
He grunted and he turned holding me.
" Don't try it, You will be coming with me.
The black coin in your pocket is the only thing you need.
Let's go."
I opened my eyes and looked at him as his gripping didn't loosen or bother to set me down he just carried me.
"To where?"
He looked down and his sharp eyes made me Flinch.
"home."
he said Without emotion and he continued to walk in no time we came to a tall building sleek and covered in a dark yellow metal from top to bottom...
Every few levels was a dock and a ship connected with that dock.
he walked into the front as the doors opened automatically a small Robot about three feet tall with a White face covered by layers of screens.
" welcome back master Matches.
I will alert the A.I upstairs pleased to see you have a guest?!
Is this a mutual partner or something else?"
The man's eyes looked at the bot and it Visibly flinched before answering its self.
" I see.
Master I am sorry for assuming this is obviously and honored guest, I will alert the A.I"
The robot whirled around and buzzed as it disappeared into the wall.
The man continued over to a pad A light wall vizzed into reality as the elevator began to climb.
Rin didn't pay attention to the Height for each floor was not visible from the elevator.
When they reached a point in the tower the elevator stopped and Only one side opened into floor.
The Room was a Bleak hallway that led up to a wooden door.
He walked to the door which opened at his presence.
We walked into an apartment with fully furnished rooms, Five to be exact.
Five large studio rooms.
One bedroom, One Gym, One kitchen, one main hall quarters and one bathroom.
He walked to a wall and smacked it the whole wall shook as a small robot popped out.
" Ah I'm up.
I'm going!
Geezer always so impatient."
It froze and scanned me before ignoring me and walking to the Far Wall It beeped and a room Opened.
Casting a blueprint on the wall the five room floor house a now Six room Floor.
The man flicked his hand as the whole wall opened up, it revealed the Ship Dock that was connected to the Floor.
There was pair of stairs that the man walked to he turned to look at me.
" follow!"
the robot Giggled.
"It seems boss had found a new Errand boy, Come kid!"
the robot whirred to the stairs and then fell down them.
the robot Seemed to do it on purpose.
I followed it to the stairs and watched the robot pick its self up at the end of the Stairs.
They led to a whole other floor The ship Began to lower and was drawn into the Side As if it was entering a garage.
which was seemingly what this entire floor was dedicated to, It had lifts, tools and many other devices that I had never seen.
the man turned to me and tossed a bag.
