Seven called out the other two and made them sit on his bed beside Black Dragon.
"Remember you are a sacred beast, no one in this world can trample your noble blood. I don't just accept anyone as my companion, me forming a contract with you guys proved that you are special" Seven may not have the memories of the past they have shared, but the beating of his heart and the underlying connection between their blood was enough to make him accept them.
He wanted to try encouraging them, even if he didn't know how to.
Black Dragon look at him wide-eyed, right they were noble beasts that their master had personally raised. He shouldn't be feeling dejected right now. It was only a matter of time before they have gain back their powers. His brothers had told him to look after their master.
"I will remember your words Master" He resolutely vowed to him.
.....
It took an hour and a half before they settled down and accepted the truth about them becoming babies. Phoenix who just woke up was coaxed by Seven, now he wasn't as sad as he used to be.
Seven went to prepare food, though it was only a cheese sandwich. He had prepared some food inside his space button in case of emergency. Thankfully space buttons can keep the food fresh so it was fine despite how long it was stored.
He was planning to serve them chicken but then remembered that Phoenix was here. It felt weird feeding a bird, a chicken sandwich.
With small hands, round cheeks, and teary-eyed, the four sat down on the floor as they waited for Seven. He places the food he made on the table and the four eat happily.
Seven asked the three to sit at the table however, he only have one chair available. The four had decided to place a mat made out of luxurious fabric and a tea table with intricate carvings on the side, of the floor which they took out from their space rings. This was similar to his space button.
He realize all the things they brought out were not simple because it emits pure energy, it was even purer than the surroundings. Goods with high energy were sought after, they would even treat it as a family heirloom and yet the four were simply using it like it was nothing.
Even the clothes they wear hold tremendous energy.
But he had to admit that this atmosphere fits them perfectly especially with the clothes they wear. He looks at White tiger and Seven wonders if his not finding the pieces of jewelry all over his body heavy. They were huge it didn't fit his appearance now that he's a child.
However, as Seven stared at the four for a long time he felt something was odd. He examined their faces, they were quite familiar.
'is it because of my relationship with them that's causing me to feel this way....no that's not it"
He held White Tiger's chubby cheeks. His features were familiar.
"Master?" he asked confused causing the three to look. They were a bit jealous of White tiger.
Seven then look at the other three, more particularly, to Nine-Tailed fox. His clothes were stylish and exquisite, somehow reminding him of the disguise he wore a year ago.
Then a thought struck him.
"Why do you guys look like me?" he was wondering where he saw their faces but then realize it was his own.
Although it was not a replica, the resemblance was there. If it weren't for the clothes he might not realize it. Nine-tailed Fox's appearance was like a child's version of his.
"It's because we have formed a blood contract that's why the image we have reflected the master we serve" Black Dragon explained.
Beast think that humans aren't worthy to serve and so only a small number of them form contracts. However the contract most of them create is limited by time, this kind wouldn't affect their appearance whenever they change into their human forms.
On the other hand, he and his other companions form a blood compact or soul binding, causing their appearance to have a resemblance to their master.
This type of contract is irreversible and is a lifetime commitment. Even if the master had died, his soul would still bind them. Thus, if ever his master reincarnates, his familiar can continue serving him.
"so that's why?"
"Master if you still have questions, just ask us but I might not be able to answer all of them since the restriction would stop us. I'll try my best to find any loophole so I could convey all the information you need." Black Dragon explained apologetically.
Seven thought it would be difficult to gather all the information if that was the case. There were so many questions popping into his mind.
"how about you tell me all the things that can be said" Seven suggested. It was useless asking him question if their was the possibilities that they might not be able to answer it.
Black Dragon nod his head" Master it's best if we talk inside the space, that way you'll be able to understand it more" he suggested.
'inside the space?'
"you mean the black hole?" though Seven would sometimes go inside, he didn't try going farther like the first time. Another factor was that, he barely remember anything inside.
"yup, that place was created by you so it might be able to help you gain your memory and take your powers back. You were able to do that when you first went inside" White Tiger replied. That day was the time they awaken from their slumber.
Seven think for a moment before saying "Ok lets go then". He didn't have to worry about anything since he had already confirm the contract between them.
He circulated his energy and let his power sip out. He concentrated them on one place and it accumulated on his heart. Afterward a black smoke inside came out of his chest forming a black void. Unlike before, it didn't have the strong pull but instead a calm inviting energy was flowing throughout the black hole. It slowly turn into a portal you would often see in fantasy movies.
Seven nodded at the for and they all enter together. A black surrounding welcome them until a wave of white light appeared from the center and spread through the whole room. The darkness disappeared showing a big open field around them with a big tree at one end.
It was still as beautiful as Seven can remember. The crystal flowers, the warm light and the cold breeze were something quite nostalgic. This was the only one he remember upon afterwards everything was unclear.
The trees, flowers and air are all fresh and green which made him miss the days on his previous world. That world might not have leave him a great memories bit there was one person he wish to see in that world.
He looked at the four and their appearance didn't change. It was still that of a child.
" Summoning cost quite a lot of energy so we decided to use this form for the meantime Master. I hope you don't mind"
Phoenix explained as he control the trees and grass blocking the way to move aside.
"don't worry about that, I wouldn't mind"
Seven walk to the middle of the field and look up at the sky. A dark grey clouds with a bit of thunder and lightning covers a huge part of the land, which seem to be were they were heading. It was strange how no birds or any other animal were seen around.
This land wasn't something he remembered. However it seemed too familiar in such a short time of being here. Maybe it was because this land belonged to him? Or maybe it was due to him missing something.
Whatever it was it wasn't helping him,instead, it was making him dizzy. He wanted to vomit but at the same time fidnt fell like it. He was feeling a little lost.
"Master are you ok?" White Tiger asked as he held the hem of Seven's clothes. Nine tailed Fix look up and saw his master clutching his temples. Phoenix and Black Dragon stopped their movement and went close to their master.
"Yes I'm fine, don't worry about me " Seven comforted the four. Maybe because of the sense of familiarity why he was feeling this way.
If only he can remember anything but right now his brain just gave up, all he wanted to do is relax and watch the scenery around him.
"Master just hold on for a bit, we're almost there" Phoenix answered unsure of what to do. At times like this, a doctor was needed but since most of the beast proficient in medicine was still asleep they could do anything.
They hurried there way inside the forest and Seven calm himself. He slowly breath out a cold air, though he was not at the peak condition, he was feeling more ok than earlier.
