Chapter 7 - Family Photos

Yuto and them sit down in a living room on a big black sofa in a U-shape with a coffee table in the middle. A couple of servants come in and bring tea and snacks for them with one bringing in a box full of photos.

"Here look Yuto. Maybe something could jog your memory," said Aoi.

"Alright," said Yuto. He opens the box and sees a bunch of photos some were in good condition and were burnt-looking but you can still see what was in the photo. He looks through them all until he finds one where it was of a younger him with a young man with black hair that was short, he had blue eyes, and he had tannish skin color. He wore a uniform like Yuji's. but what grab Yuto's attention in this photo was that the man was holding the Phoenix Sword in his right hand.

"Oh, it seems this one was a special photo a picture of you and Yuma," said Yuna.

"Yuma," said Yuto. Yuto then would hear a familiar voice but a forgotten one in his mind.

"Continue my legacy, Yuto," said The Voice. He wonders if this was Yuma telling him that.

"Where is Yuma?" asked Yuto.

"I am sorry but during that night years ago. Yuma has passed on and he was found by a cliff by the riverbed which we assume is how you ended in Chocochew," said Yuji.

"If only I can remember," said Yuto. He tries hard to remember but it was no use.

"It is alright, Yuto. You do not need to strain yourself to remember it. Only in time, we can uncover the truth of that night," said Yuna. Yuji would notice that Yuto had the mark of the Phoenix on his left hand.

"What? why do you bear the mark of the Phoenix?" asked Yuji.

"I have no idea," said Yuto. He looks at the mar on his left hand and explains how he obtained the power of the Phoenix.

"That used to be Yuma's power he is what we call an Eikon User or a Summoner able to use the power of the gods," said Yuji.

"This mystery just keeps getting more darker," said Aoi. Yuto was about to put the photo back.

"No, keep it Yuto," said Yuna. "You and Yuma were pretty close when he was still around and I want you to have Yuma maybe the key to all of this."

"Alright," said Yuto. He puts the photo of him and Yuma in his pocket in his wallet. They see a servant come in.

"Excuse me, Lady Yuna it seems we have invited guests here," said The Servant.

"What?" said Yuna. They would get up and head to the outside. They would see some of the Servants trying to corner, Whitetail who has come to find Yuto. She was perched on a shed near the manor. Yuto's face palms with his left hand.

"You know that bird?" asked Yuji.

"That is my Chocobo, Whitetail. She could be a troublemaker," said Yuto.

"Wark!" she goes on top of the shed at the servants.

"That doesn't sound like a Chocobo noise?" asked Aoi.

"Well, it is, a Chocobo that has been domesticated they go kweh while wild or feral ones use that noise. She only makes that noise because she is not pleased," explained Yuto.

"Wow, you are pretty smart with chocobos," said Yuji.

"You can thank my adoptive father, Lars for teaching me these things," said Yuto.
