Oh, little one, Trust is a delicate thread, woven between hearts like spider silk. Once broken, it can never be fully repaired.
And you still tell me not to trust others, why is that?
Long ago, I soared alongside companions—fellow guardians of realms beyond mortal sight. We shared laughter, secrets, and battles against cosmic foes. Our bond was unbreakable, or so I believed. But power corrupts, We sought forbidden knowledge, delving into realms where mortals should not tread. We coveted dominion over elements, over life itself. Our unity fractured as ambition consumed us. One by one, my friends turned against me. They coveted my strength, my ancient magic. They feared my potential. And so, they plotted.
Then what happened?
I discovered their treachery, They sought to bind me, steal my essence, and wield it for their own ends. In their eyes, I was a means to an end—a weapon.
Did you fight back?
Oh, I fought. But trust, once shattered, leaves scars. I defeated them but at a cost. My heart grew colder, my wings heavier. I withdrew from the world, seeking solace in the shadows.
so that's why you tell me not to trust others. But still.
It's not the full story, kiddo. You will understand when the time will come, I will tell you.
but why not now? What is it that you are hiding from me?
You are not ready. When you feel the value of getting lost, that will be the time for me to guide you.
Why does he always stop halfway? I think he knows something. Maybe Yumiko knows something about it. But I can't ask her. My secret to him. O god, when have You put me? I guess I have to manage for now. The training room, our classrooms, and other facility rooms were restored. The security is also higher since we don't want any more wraiths behind my tail. An announcement was made, and as the training room was restored, we could use it. But classes will be resumed from tomorrow. I plan to resume my training tomorrow as well. I marched my way to the mash but before that, I saw Lisa, Seri, and Lysandra in the training room. I guess they don't plan to rest today.
After seeing them working hard, I decided I should as well cause I was the weakest of them for now, and I didn't want to be a burden to them, I should at least protect myself. I meditated and tried to reason with him and increase my spirit level.
I thought I told you not to disturb me while I was asleep. Why then are you here?
And I told you until you coordinate with me, I will not let you.
Listen little one, you think you are a match for me? I will devour you in a blink of an eye.
If you think you can then do it. You won't. Do you know why? cause you need someone to do something for you and I think that someone is me.
You are smart, I will give you that. But you think I need your permission to do that. I can control your body while I devour your conscience.
You can but you haven't done that yet and considering the preachings you give me from time to time, you are planning to do something but don't want others to know about it. You are hiding your existence from other guardians, aren't you?
Like I said, you are clever. And you know my identity as well don't you, Rudra? Say my name young man.
"Fulminar" THE KING OF DARKNESS AND THUNDER.
I always had my doubts. To think he would be my spirit. Life is so unfair. How will I convince others that he is not a bad spirit? Can I even convince myself? Well, for now, I think I should sleep. Let's think about it in the morning.
I couldn't get any sleep as I was thinking about my position in this situation. Let me get it straight, I have the spirit that everyone thinks betrayed other guardians and turned to the Abyssal wraith's side, and is their enemy, If I tell them I could be detained and used as an experiment subject which is totally a bad idea. So what do I do now? But wait a second, If I don't have the Bramble, then It is a matter of time before they will find the real one and I will be out of the scene. Why does it always happen to me?
Don't think so hard and focus on one thing for now.
And what would that be my lord?
You should focus on increasing your spirit level and so you have to trust me and yourself.
How can you say to trust you? You didn't lie but you didn't tell me the truth also.
It's not the time to fight ourselves. Like you said it is only a matter of time before they would find the real bramble. So quit your crying and get back to reality.
So what should I do?
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? Isn't it obvious, start your training and level up fast before they catch you and burn you to a crisp.
Wait, they would what?
Just go.
