Our form for forming a Group was finally approved and now we're discussing who should be the Captain and the Vice-Captain. But... how did things end up like this?
"If we put Arata as the Captain who'll be the Vice?" Andrew asked.
"Please, don't make me the Captain." I've been begging them for half an hour now to not be the Captain but they keep ignoring me. "Hey, listen to me!!"
"Alright then, William will be the Vice-Captain since he was the first one." Ethan said.
"Can someone please tell me why I'm the Captain?!" I finally cried out.
"Well they did become Braves of the Sacred Flower through you." Hiro answered. "So I think it's fair that you are the Captain."
We were having lunch outside under the cherry blossom tree with everyone today. It's nice to see the cherry blossoms fall off the tree. According to Lina this tree has been here since a hundred years ago.
"Then it would've seen the dawn of the war between Chimeras' and this world." I said as I touched it. "It's already summer but it still blooms. It's kinda strange. This cherry blossom."
"This tree is called the Perennial Cherry Blossom, my grandparents told me that back in their time when it bloomed it would've signalled the beginning of spring." Hayato, a boy with deep green hair and white skin with brown eyes from our class said. "But now, the boundary between the seasons is so unclear that the tree no longer knows when to blossom. It has become a strange tree here while the other trees blossom in spring it blossoms on different seasons. Last year it didn't blossom till fall."
"But I think it's nice." I said and touched the trunk. "It's like a mystery, a one of a kind wonder."
"The reason the school was built here was based on the story the tree right?" Hiro asked.
"Story?" I asked.
"The tree was planted here long ago by a old couple that had been travelling far and wide. The land here was barren and without life. The old couple planted the seed saying that it would definitely grow. The people didn't believe them. The couple tended to the tree till it sprouted." William said. "When the tree grew, it began to bring life to this land. The couple disappeared soon after the tree grew taller but the tree provided life to the land around it. During that time the world was riffled with wars and conflicts, in a place where people had lost hope of life returning new life sprouted. So the tree became a signal, proof that even in harshest times there is hope of a new begin. That's why the school was built here. As a sign of hope in the battle against the Chimeras."
"A sign of hope..." I touched the trunk of the tree. "In the battle against the Chimeras this tree has watched over the Braves that have come and gone from our school."
"That's pretty romantic." May said.
"Thank you, for watching over all of us." I said and placed my forehead on the the trunk. "Please continue to watch over us from now on as well."
As I was about to bring my forehead away from the tree my crest glows in an unnoticeable way. Then a cherry blossom falls on my hand with the crest.
"Arata, come on and sit down." Alistar said and I sat down but I kept the flower.
"The Stars have Fallen." Diana said in a trance and I feel a Chimera approaching.
"An odd bunch. A group of Aries." I said. "They'll appear by the Eastern Hills."
"Let's go." Hiro siad and we nodded.
We went to the battlefield in time to see the Temperance appear. I've never seen it before but it's just as they describe them. A vortex appears in the sky as if they're cracks and then poof the Chimeras appear.
"Let's go." Hiro said and took his Group of to the fight.
I touch my shadow and what I pull out is two sword. The Fangs of Fenrir that devours everything. It's should help with the Aries' barrier.
I don't wait, I jump into the air and slash away at the Aries'. As expected they block themselves with the barrier but the blades cut straight through the barrier and pierce their body with ease.
"Arata killed it in one go?" Lina asked as I rejoined them.
"Your Anti-Chimera Article, it's different from last time." Diana said. "What are those swords?"
"The Fangs of Fenrir that devour everything. They'll ignore the rules of the world and devour even the threads of fate." I told them as I jumped into the air. "I'll break their shields, you guys finish them."
"Okay then." Liam answered as I shattered the barrier of an Aries and he smashes it with his hammer.
"Tch." I clicked my tongue at the last Aries. It was large than the others and it put up five extremely dense barriers that even the swords were unable to devour in one go.
"What's with that Aries. It's stronger than the others." Lina complained.
I attack it again but the barrier is tougher than I expected. That's when I notice that my swords have begun to glow. I see, then I'll try out the full power of these swords.
"Guys, I'm going to destory it in one go. Keep your distance!" I called out.
"Okay then." Reinhardt answered.
"Awaken the beasts the sleeps within you, bringer of blizzards, devourer of dimension, consume all with your fangs, oh monstrous wolf destined to devour the world." I chanted. "Devour everything in your path, beast of gluttony, Fenrir!"
The swords shined bright and then a giant wolf apepared behind me and charged forward devouring the Aries in one go and then disappearing. I let go of the blades and they disappear and then eveyrone hugs me.
"You did it!" Zhen hugged me. "You killed it in one go."
"Yeah." I answered.
We head back and as I was walking down the path back to school with the other's I accidentally bump into someone on the way back.
"Sorry." I said but there was no one there.
"Something wrong?" Lina asked.
"Ah, nothing." I answered.
Could I have been imagining it? No. I definitely saw silver hair. What was that?
----
"Ophelia, I've found him." I told her tossing the small branch of the Sacred Tree on the table. It has bloomed in full.
"Is that right?" She asked as she fixed her long black hair. She purple eyes and white skin. She was preparing for another performance.
"That's right." I answered with a smiled. I fixed my messy silver hair checked my face on the mirror. These red eyes and white skin really stand out.
"So, where was he?" She asked.
"Hanging with some humans from this world." I answered. "What do we do?"
"Approach him carefully." She said and I nodded.
When we get close to him, our goal will finally begin. For our purpose, we will recapture that kid.
