"I won't let your soul get lost… for you have the fire… for you have—." I was filled with rage and malice, as the boy was risking his own life, even when it was not his fate; how can fate be this cruel. I jumped down the tree at a tremendous speed and had appeared just right in front of the boy as time had slowed down and Just before the fist could make contact, I had used my right hand to hold the fist as the bandages had started to tear up, from the intense pressure from the yoma's incoming attack; in which had started to revive my rings, and like that my eyes had turned pure black, as I just grinned with a sadist smile.
'HAHAHAHA YES GET ANGRY… DESTROY THAT YOMA AND SEND IT BACK FROM WHERE IT CRAWLED OUT FROM!' death had exclaimed in an insane like voice, which was starting to affect me, as my mentality was changing… for the worst.
"A ReAsOn …..TO lIVe…" I spoke in a much distorted voice
Boooooooooooooom!
--------------------------
Dante p.o.v:
The present:
"....WHAT!" all of us shouted at the same time.
'IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE SHOCKED TO SEE THAT A HUMAN CAN REACH THIS LEVEL OF POWER, HUH SAGE.' Death had observed from their behavior and response. But it seems that the boy was actually excited rather than afraid. He approaches me with sparkles in his eyes but was then blocked by ruk; who still had a face of disbelief, and was eager to get more information from me.
"t-this can't be… no human can get this much power….." He said in disbelief and was not satisfied with the information I had given. Then his facial expression had changed from a look of disbelief, to a look of intrigue. As he started to try and put things together, then he found something.
"… unless…" he started to move back in order to create some space but had then stopped. As everyone had moved back too, he then summoned his chronicle; which I could feel space magic flowing out of it… meaning that he must be a space magic user then.
"What are you doing ruk?" The girl reacted to ruk's sudden action and was a little bit worried about the situation.
"It's alright Tamaki… I just want to confirm, whether or not his lying…" he informs her with a serious tone and then turns his attention to me, which I found quite strange.
'Death, what could be the reason for him to summon his chronicle but not using it to strike?' I queried death with a curious voice not understanding the whole current situation.
'YOU SEE SAGE; HE SUMMONED HIS CHRONICLE, NOT TO FIGHT BUT TO OBSERVE…. IMAGINE THE CHRONICLE LIKE THE MOST INNER MIND OF THE USER, WHERE ALL THE SPELLS AND TECHNIQUES ARE STORED AND MANIFESTED…. AND THIS ENTIRE CHRONICLES DIFFERS. THERE IS NO CHRONICLE ALIKE; AS THERE IS NO MIND ALIKE… SPELLS RANGING FROM HEAVENS ART TO CURSED ART AND TECHNIQUES RANGING FROM MAGIC TO AURORA TECHNIQUES; WHERE BY ALL OF THEM ARE DIFFERENT IN THEIR OWN UNIQUE WAY.' Death had informed me. As I was amazed and impressed by the vast knowledge, that death has possessed.
'But how does that answers my question?' I was still clueless by this.
'
'He is using the mana from his chronicle, to determine mine; and therefore indicating whether or not I'm telling the truth…. Very interesting.'
"Space chronicle revive!" he chanted. As I felt a little part of my mana leak out but then started to sink in back into me. Then ruk had unsummon his chronicle why looking at me with a surprised look on his face.
"Fascinating… I have more questions-ack." He was hit on the head by a very angry tamaki; who was now glancing at him with a very menacing look… man I wonder if I should have saved them from her instead of the yoma, she's scaring.
"You better keep those questions to yourself, creep. And don't think that I have forgiven you after not almost saving my brother." She shouted at him as the entire guild mates where just moving back not to get caught in her rage. And I also found myself moving back a little bit.
"Sis, I think he has already learnt his lesso-." He was caught short by his sister sending him a murderous glare.
"Y-y-you k-know violence isn't the key." He tried to calm his sister, while stammering like hell.
"y-yes tamaki, I did say that I was sorr-." Ruk had barely dodged a wind slash, thrown by tamaki. As the slash had passed by him, he sighed in relief.
"
"Well seem like his not gonna to wake up anytime soon." One of the guild mates claimed as he just placed his head in his palm while shaking his head.
"Well that's classic tamaki doing her thang." One of the other guild mates said with smile and thumbs up.
"But all in all, we will still love her for who she is. Cause she is still our friend." Another one claimed in a very unsure tone and looks on his face and was wearing a somewhat like suit, which had weird scriptures on the edges of his jacket. He also had black hair and a very red iris that really gives him his signature look.
"Hehehe… he…. Sorry for the whole scene… and apparently for wasting your time but I will like to introduce myself. I am Indra Yakama, and that person over there is my sister… tamaki Yakama and the person who was trying to interrogate you is ruk Han; who tends to ask too many questions on things that fascinate him, but all in all he is technically the smartest person in our guild." He informs me, gaining my interest even more.
"Is that so, and what is this guild you belong to?" I asked the boy, who just turned to me and had a huge grin on his face.
"I'm from the sun guild, the 3rd most strongest guild in all of Cyprus." He boastfully claimed as I just stared at his teammates, though something seems quite strange to me.
"Whoa, fascinating… so your guild receive quests right and complete them in exchange for jewels right?" I asked in a very curious tone. The boy just stared at me with a confused face.
'Man, I hope he answers… iris will kill me, I'm already late'
"Yeah that's about it, the more the class rank, the more the difficulty and the more difficult it is; the more jewels you get." He said while smiling but then his smile had changed into a frown.
"But that actually puts us in a very tough situation, as all of us here are humans and not to mention b-class… meaning that we won't be able to reach some of high classes, they down grade us, even treats us like as if we are not members… even this mission proves my point, because if not for you, we would have all met death." He said with a very solemn expression on his face.
"Or maybe they are right… we can never be strong, but that just gives me a reason to keep on fight. People might see us as useless, weak, even to the point of us getting corrupted the most; but that will never change our will." Indra said, not with a solemn look, but with a confident smile. As he just stared at his guild mates and his sister who were all smiling and being…. Themselves.
"…. What is your own concept on life?" I asked the boy who was still smiling while still staring at his guild mates.
"My own concept of life is that there are like metals and ores that might seem meaningless and confusing and sometimes constant, due to its different impurities… but can be changed but our will, as that will is the fire that we will use to forge our own path. That's why we all are different… because we all have different wills that drives us."
"Just like mine, I want to get stronger, I want to bring change." He continued, as he was making his own view… his own concept on life.
'Talk about sharp mindset.' I thought in awe.
"Hahahaha it seems that I can already see you being something great then." I grinned at the boy; who blushed in embarrassment and then started to act nervous, though I can feel something radiating off him.
'HMMM IT SEEMS THAT EVEN THIS BOY AT THIS AGE, IS ABLE TO THINK SO PHILOSOPHICAL, AND BELONGS TO A GUILD; IMPRESSIVE BUT THOUGH I CAN FEEL A STRANGE AURA LINGERING INSIDE THE BOY AND HIS SISTER. THEY HAVE A LOT OF POTENIAL WITHIN THEM, THEY ALL HAVE' Death had pointed out, being impressed by the boy's courage to join a guild and was also intrigued by the boy and his sister aura.
"Hmmm is that so…. Okay then, I think that I have decided."
'JUST WHAT I WAS THINKING.'
Iris p.o.v:
No no no no no!!!
"Iris I want to see my son right this instant! He hasn't eaten anything this morning. It's night and he is still sleeping!" my mom had shouted, while struggling to get out of my grip but then my hand had slipped and then she was free from my grasp and had raced towards his room. As I had raced after her, though my dad and uncle were too engrossed in what they were talking about, too even notice what was going on.
'Dante!!!! I tried my best!!!' I thought, as I just closed my eyes in anticipation; as my dear mother just opened the door to revive.
"Hey mom… is everything okay, I just woke up right now and I'm starving." I gaped my mouth open in disbelieve, as I see dante standing in front of my mom; claiming to have just waked up.
"…"
"Don't worry sweetie, come on; you food might get too cold. Iris you really need to act more responsible, can you see that you have already exhausted your little brother with your magic... come on sweetie." My mom had taken dante down stair and on queue.
"…"
"YOU DEMON!!!" my uncle had busted out in rage. But I just stood there…. amazed and in disbelieve.
"how?........."
