(Start)
A young pink haired and pink eyed girl was looking at some blurry images. As she looked she was confused as in all honesty this stuff looked familiar to her. She quickly realized she wasn't in control of her body as she seemed to be running to a location with the adrenaline of a scared child. She soon arrived to see a middle aged blond haired man who she ran into and felt her body crying into him.
"Father I'm scared that giant monster is getting closer." She called crying into the man's chest. The man was holding the girl as she one looking through this little girls eyes realized this man was this child's father but something about him was familiar to her she just couldn't place where.
"I'll be ok Resha you'll be ok believe in me." The man said holding his daughter close before picking her up and running. Louise saw the look in this man's eyes and new instantly that whatever this monster was he knew he wasn't a match for it. As they ran Louise saw the giant beast roaring while it destroyed everything in its past. The image it gave off was that of death and destruction coming to take its due from the world itself.
Louise saw the people fight it but it sent a beam of energy from its body destroying all before it in a fury of destruction as Resha from Louise perspective shielded her eyes from the destruction and the ghastly sight. Louise knew this dream was similar to the ones she had been having for quite some time but this time it came in the form of a nightmare. Soon the man arrived at what looked like a magic circle as awaiting him was an Elf carrying a sword as she was nursing an injury of her own.
"Brimir we can't hold off Endless for much longer!" The Elf called as Louise was wide eyed. She was looking through the eyes of Brimir's daughter one the church never once mentioned.
"I know Sasha we knew this day would come the minute Resha was born." Brimir said as the Elf Sasha nodded.
"Mommy!" Resha called as Louise was even more shocked. It seems the mother of Resha was an Elf which meant Brimir might have told lies to protect his daughter.
"Resha sleep." Brimir said before doing the sleeping spell and next thing Louise knew she was now watching from a third person perspective of the situation but it seemed that Resha's face was shadowed as was Sasha's hand.
"Brimir I hope you know what you're doing if you go ahead with this plan of yours the Elven people and your people will be eternal enemies." Sasha said as Brimir nodded.
"I know but we have to give hope to future generations when the seal is complete I will build up as much of my Void Magic as I can and then you will strike me down so I can release it to damage Endless." Brimir said as Sasha looked.
"But Brimir!" Sasha called trying to stop him.
"Endless' corruption is already having its effects on me Sasha mainly cause of my connection to Void but if our daughter survives in a different era to defeat Endless with the '_' Master then our hopes will be realized." Brimir said as Sasha seemed against it.
"But how can we be sure she'll be safe and protected." Sasha said showing the face of a mother who did not want to be separated from her child.
"The Rave Bearer will guide her and from my, prophesy I saw that she will be taken in by a Noble family at some point they will protect her." Brimir said as Sasha was against it as Brimir but his sleeping daughter in the center of the circle.
"But… all this a cruel fate for our daughter it's not fair!" Sasha cried before falling to her knees.
"Partner I can't say I understand but you're a mother how far would you go to protect her?" Her sword asked as Sasha looked.
"Even sacrificing my life if it meant ensuring her future." Sasha said before she walked over to Resha before hugging her close. "Resha I don't know if you can hear me but please remember, remember that mother will always be watching you, when you think your alone, if you fall and get hurt, if you are being threatened, or if your even just curious about things know mother will always be there to protect and guide you even if you can't see me or you can't recognize me I'll always be there for you. Please eat all the food given to you, be respectful and humble but also be strong and if someone talks down on you be sure to berate them and don't let them push you around because Mother will always be with you no matter what." Sasha said before kissing her daughters forehead with tears stained eyes.
She then put something around her neck which once again was shrouded to Louise's eyes as Louise held tears of her own and she didn't know why as it felt her heart was being squeezed. Louise looked as she saw an elf cry and love her child knowing she had to make the sacrifice for her child to live on even if it meant her parents demise. "Brimir I'm ready." Sasha said as she left the circle.
"Sasha, I am so sorry for what's about to happen, when you see me on the other side you can beat and lecture me for all eternity." Brimir said as Sasha wiped away her tears.
"Just do it before I change my mind." Sasha said as Brimir using an incantation unknown to Louise the circle glowed and soon in a flash of light Resha was gone as Sasha knew what she had to do. But then the dream ended as Louise felt herself waking up.
(Waking World Tristiana Academy of Magic Second Year girls dorms Louise's room)
Louise woke up as she got up and felt tears coming from her eyes as she looked at her hand where a tear fell. "Why am I crying, it was just a dream nothing more." Louise said but her heart seemed to be squeezing as she tried to calm herself down. "I must remember the Rule of Steel, yes mother's all-knowing rule." Louise said as that helped but it was accompanied by a gentle feeling embracing her as it felt like someone was hugging her. Louise looked out of reflex and saw no one as she quickly began to wash up for her classes today.
Louise picked up her wand from her desk once she was dressed in her uniform as she looked to her desk and realized she forgot something. She looked and saw a sword type pendant that was similar to a cross. Louise couldn't tell why but she had that pendant with her for as long as she could remember and had never parted with it like something inside told her she can't part with it no matter what. Louise smiled and grabbed the pendant before putting it around her neck and moved her hair out of its way. Once it was on she smiled feeling whole once more.
Whenever she was wearing this she felt like no one could harm her and insults would be met with fire of her own. Once it was on Louise De La Vallier was ready to take on the day. Louise then left her room to begin her day knowing what was awaiting her today which was the Spring Time Familiar Summoning Ritual. But before she left a sound was heard as she looked and saw a white creature with a carrot like nose, a big head, and black dots for eyes.
"Puun." The creature said as Louise walked over to it and looked at it.
"Plue you have to stay here you know I'm not allowed pets unless there my familiar I'll take you out for a walk later but for now wait here." Louise said to her odd pet as Plue looked.
"Puun." Plue said rubbing his stomach to show he was hungry.
"Don't worry I thought ahead and got you some sweets after classes yesterday they should be under my bed." Louise said as Plue nodded and walked over to her bed and got under it before he pulled out the sack of sweets. "Stay out of trouble ok Plue." Louise said as Plue was sucking on a lollipop.
"Puun." Plue said as Louise then left to begin her day.
As she walked she made sure to avoid her rival and her classmates knowing how her magic resulted when given the chance and it wasn't a success. She actually expected them to pop out and ridicule her telling her not to even try because of her Zero success rate.
As Louise walked she knew this was her last shot to prove herself a familiar and it was a miracle she was able to hide Plue sense her first year but it helped that one of the maids was able to take care of him while she was in class. She had discovered Plue when she was a child and he had appeared when she was practicing magic. Needless to say that bright flash of light surprised her mother and after begging to keep him Karen had conceded defeat and let Louise keep what she called a Carrot Nosed Dog. Plus the thing only ate sweets so she didn't have to worry about a special diet for it.
As Louise walked she soon stopped for a minute as she felt something odd. She grasped her pendant as it felt warm, warmer the usual as she wondered if it was an omen. Louise shook her head before she began to walk again unaware that a shadow appeared in the hall as he looked to Louise.
"Seems she's the one." The young man in the hood said before chuckling. "Well then when the Rave Master appears hopefully the two can get along long enough to find the Stones." The young man said before he opened a portal of light before walking through it to no doubt observe.
(Scene Break Court Yard)
Louise was in the court yard as she was nervous and had every right to be. No matter how much that calming comforting feeling kept trying to calm her down her nervousness would return with each Familiar summoned. Louise wondered if she could hide long enough to grab Plue and pass him off as her familiar sense he could pass as a unique familiar. When Louise tried to do that though Colbert voice was heard.
"Has everyone summoned their familiars?" Colbert asked as Louise was trying to sneak through the crowd.
"Not everyone Professor." The voice of Louise's rival Kirche who was a woman with tank skin, long red hair, and gold eyes as she was Germanian by descent. But her voice caused Louise to freeze up trying to decide if she should just run for it before she gets noticed. "Louise hasn't summoned her familiar yet." Kirche said as Louise then turned to stone before cracking and the wind carrying her dust away, of course that last part was in her head.
"Ok then Ms. Vallier would you please step forward and summon your familiar." Colbert said as Louise had anime tears in her eyes.
"Yes professor." Louise said before walking to the summoning circle. Mentally Louise was praying to the founder that her spell would succeed knowing that if she failed here it would mean she would forever be known as a disgraced noble. Louise took in a deep breath as she was worried for what was to come as she raised her wand and focused. But then she realized something the Summoning Spell she came up with she couldn't remember it which was weird because she had developed it from scratch.
Louise lowered her wand trying to remember the spell she made as Colbert looked. "We're waiting Ms. Vallier." Colbert said as Louise looked nervous.
"Don't even bother trying Zero all you'll result in is an explosion!" A Student called as Louise was wide eyed.
Something flashed in her mind as she heard that last word and from what she saw it looked to be a large sword which transformed into an explosive sword that's name on its blade said Explosion. 'Explosion… the Detonating weapon.' Louise thought before a spell appeared in her mind as she had to go with it.
"O mighty warrior I beseech thee to raise thy blade in the name of the light, or Chosen Master of the Light appear before me and aid in the journey to gather the sacred stones and battle the darkness once more. From the Bottom of my heart I call out to thee and with my Magic I make thy path known now come forth!" Louise invoked not realizing what she was doing as her pendant resonated before at, the end an Explosion rocketed the court yard. The explosion knocked off Louise's pendant where it landed on the ground a few feet away from her.
Smoke was heavy in the air as students were coughing a bit before one spoke no doubt to taunt Louise. "By the founder Zero don't you have any sense of control or is that like your success rate, Zero." A student said as once the smoke cleared it showed a young man with a blue jacket, blue jeans, and sneakers on the ground with swirls in his eyes. His hair was black as his skin was slightly tanned as Louise was shocked.
"What?!" Louise called shocked to see this. She had summoned a human familiar of all things plus to make matters worse it was a commoner.
"Hah Zero summoned a plebian!" Came the voice of an arrogant student as Louise looked to Colbert as the boy was coming to revealing in blue eyes. Unaware to Louise though her pendant was resonating with the boy near as if it responded to him.
"Please Professor let me try again!" Louise called as she looked to Colbert.
"I'm sorry Ms. Vallier but the Spring Time Familiar Summoning is a sacred rite I'm sorry but this boy here is your familiar." Colbert said as Louise admitted defeat. "Now please bind him as your familiar." Colbert said as Louise nodded.
Louise then walked over to the boy who was speaking an unknown language to her before glaring at him. "You should be grateful not many commoners can say this happened to them." Louise said but before the boy could ask Louise kissed him on the lips leaving him wide eyed. Once the kiss was done and Louise did the binding spell the boys grabbed his left hand in pain as the markings were etched onto his skin. "Don't worry it will only last for a bit." Louise said as once the binding was done the boy soon passed out.
"Ok then that's it for today people I look forward to seeing you all the day after tomorrow so please try and bond with your familiars." Colbert said before everyone but Louise levitated away.
When Louise left a blond prissy boy noticed something on the ground and picked it up and saw it was a pendant. He may not realize it but this beautiful looking item was Louise's pendant and if he gave it as a present to one of his many girlfriends it should put him in a good spot with them. He then left no doubt to figure out which girl to give it to as he pocketed the pendant that was Louise's precious treasure.
(Scene Break That Night)
The young boy woke up as he looked around and noticed he was in a room on a bed of hay. He got up before quickly noticing the strangest creature he had ever seen which was; in fact Louise's Carrot Nosed Dog, Plue. He yelped in shocked as he fell as Plue ran over to him and offered him to his shock a sweet. "Anno Arigato (Umm thank you)." The boy said as he took the sweet before unwrapping it and eating it.
"So your awake I see." Louise said as the boy looked at her confusingly. "I'll get down to business I'm your master now sense I have decided no matter how much of an embarrassment it is I will have to keep you so you should feel honored." Louise said as the boy looked at her confusingly before speaking but Louise could not understand what he was saying.
"I don't understand what you're saying, I'll deal with this." Louise said before raising her wand torts the young man before vocalizing her spell but when she did an explosion shook but not as bad as before as the young man was on the ground before getting up and glaring.
"What the hell was that for?!" The young man demanded as Louise was wide eyed.
"I can understand you." Louise said as she was shocked.
"Wait now you can understand me?! Ok tell me where I am please." The young man spoke as Louise looked.
"I tried the silence spell I guess it's another failure." Louise said as Saito noticed Plue tugging on his sleeve.
"Ok what is this thing?" Saito asked as he looked at it. "It looks like a baby manatee." Saito said as Louise glared.
"That is not a baby anything that is my Carrot Nosed Dog Plue." Louise said as the young man was shocked.
"Oh my bad… Well my name is Saito Hiraga nice to meet you." Saito said trying to shake her hand before Louise looked.
"Very Well then I am Louise De La Vallier and I am-" Louise trailed off when she put her hand to her chest and realized something, her pendant was gone. Louise looked around but could not find it before realizing it. "My pendant! Where is it?!" Louise called shocked to see her precious treasure was missing.
"You're Pendant?" Saito asked as Louise looked freaked out.
"Yes I've had it for as long as I can remember and now it's missing!" Louise said as she was practically tearing apart her room while Plue tried to help look.
"Don't worry we'll find it, you probably dropped it somewhere." Saito said as he put his hand on Louise's shoulder in a comforting way. "Tell you what I'll go out and look around but I might not find it sense it's so dark, but I'll try and find it." Saito said as Louise looked before she regained her composure.
"Very well then take Plue with you he probably needs to go out." Louise said as Saito nodded and soon both he and Plue was out the door.
(Later outside)
Saito was looking around the grass area to see if he can find it in the area where Louise had summoned him. But alas he had found nothing as he knew the Pendant was sword shaped from Louise's description. Plue looked to Saito after doing his business and turned his head showing he couldn't find it. "Great we can't find it." Saito said as he looked up and soon was wide eyed. "Wait why, are there two moons up there?!" Saito called as he realizing something. "Toto I don't think we're in Japan anymore." Saito said shocked to see this even though he did reference the Wizard of Oz there up to a point.
(Scene Break Louise's dorm room)
Saito arrived at the dorm room to see Louise asleep as she left a note for him on the table. Saito picked it up and began to read it as he looked at it. "Familiar if you had returned with my pendant then thank you but if you were unable to find it please try again in the morning I can't bear the thought of being separated from it. You don't have to worry about my laundry but please try and locate the Pendant in the morning." The Note read as Saito sighed.
"Well I did promise her I'd find it and that's what I'm going to do." Saito said unaware that someone was listening in from the roof.
(On the Towers roof)
The young man there smirked as he looked down as next to him was a large object wrapped up in white cloth with a face drawn on said cloth as he looked down. "Man they already lost the Key Rave well if the fates are right then I have the perfect excuse to get the sword to the new Rave Master young Louise had summoned." The man said before laying down and began catching some sleep. "Well, all we can do for now is wait I suppose." He said before calling it a night.
(Scene Break That Morning)
Saito was up long before Louise as he hoped Plue would wake her up. He had to find that pendant and return it to Louise. He left the room and began his search as he looked around for that missing pendant. Saito began asking around if anyone had seen a sword shaped Pendant but so far no one had seen it. Saito kept searching well into the afternoon as he found himself in an area with tables and chairs set up.
"Puun." Came a voice as Saito yelped to see that Plue was here.
"Wait your Plue that that means…" Saito trailed off before Louise stormed torts him.
"Where have you been Familiar!?" Louise roared as Saito was shocked.
"I woke up early to look for your pendant!" Saito called having his arms up in defense.
"My pendant… you've been up all morning looking for it?" Louise asked shocked to hear this.
"Yeah I figured sense it meant so much to you I might as well try and return it plus sense last night I found out this place is nowhere near my home I figured I might as well try and help you out." Saito said as Louise sighed.
"Very well then please continue your search will you I also had the staff prepare you a small meal sense you had probably missed breakfast you should go to them and eat what you can." Louise said as Saito looked.
"After I find that pendant." Saito said before he continued his search.
As Saito looked around he began to think someone might have taken it as he walked around he soon bumped into someone as Saito and the person he bumped into fell down causing Saito to look to her. "Oh sorry I didn't meant to bump into you." Saito said as he looked to the girl.
"It's alright." She said as Saito helped her up to which she recognized him. "Oh wait your that human Familiar that was summoned." She said looking to Saito.
"Yes I am, but who are you?" Saito asked as the girl looked.
"Oh my apologies, my name is Siesta but my full name is Siesta Musica." Siesta said with a bit of a bow as Saito took notice to the Silver Bracelets on Siesta's wrists.
"Oh well I'm Saito Hiraga nice to meet you." Saito said as he looked to Siesta who smiled. "Sorry to bother you but have you seen a sword shaped pendant anywhere?" Saito asked as Siesta looked shocked.
"Did Ms. Vallier and Plue loose it?" Siesta asked as worried for Louise.
"Yeah have you seen it?" Saito asked as Siesta looked.
"I think I saw Lord Garmont picking something off from the ground yesterday after the summoning." Siesta said as Saito nodded.
"Where is this Garmont person?" Saito asked as Siesta pointed torts a table where the blond prissy boy now known as Guiche was talking to a girl with blond hair. "Thanks now I can get back Louise's precious treasure." Saito said before walking over to Guiche.
Meanwhile Guiche was talking to his current lady as he showed the pendant to her. "My dear Mon, Mon I had picked up this lovely Pendant for you during my last trip into town and I must say it would look stunning on you." Guiche said as Montmorency looked at it swearing she had seen it before but Guiche had told her it was one of a kind. "Will you accept it my dear Montmorency?" Guiche asked as Montmorency looked.
"I don't know." She said before a hand grabbed Guiche's and pulled it up with the Pendant.
"Unhand me peasant!" Guiche said as Saito glared.
"That Pendent is Louise's give it back." Saito demanded as he Guiche looked worried.
"I have no idea what you mean." Guiche said as with Saito's hand so close to it, it was glowing bright resonating with him but no one paid it any mind.
"You may not realize it but Louise lost that Pendant during the summoning exhibition and she wants it back." Saito said as Guiche then forced his hand out of Saito's grip.
"I will do no such thing is the Zero had lost the pendant and another had picked it up then by that logic it belongs to the person who found it." Guiche said as Montmorency was wide eyed.
"Now I know where I've seen it that belongs to Louise!" Montmorency said as she knew how precious it was to Louise and the fact Guiche had taken it from her without her consent didn't sit well with Montmorency.
"Wait my dear Montmorency." Guiche said trying to fix the situation.
"Return what you had taken from her, I may not be the nicest person to Louise the Zero but even I know how precious that pendant is to her so return it at once Guiche." Montmorency ordered but before Guiche could come up with a lie to cover his tracks another person appeared.
"Lord Guiche?" A girl called as Guiche looked and saw the first year student he was seeing behind Montmorency's back as Montmorency looked.
"Who are you?" She asked as the first year looked.
"I am Lord Guiche's girlfriend." She said as Montmorency was wide eyed and was almost seeing red.
"That can't be right I am his girlfriend." Montmorency said as they then both looked at Guiche who's nervous and guilty look gave it away.
"So you not only take the precious treasure of another but also see another girl behind my back!" Montmorency yelled before she and the other girl had come to an agreement.
"Wait ladies I can explain." Guiche said before, they then both slapped him.
Montmorency then looked to Saito as she looked to him. "I respect you for trying to take back your masters pendant so if need be I will lend my aid as needed. So please take back your masters treasure." Montmorency said before, she and the first year Katie left.
Guiche glared at Saito before Saito looked to Guiche. "Now please give back Louise's pendant I won't ask again." Saito said as Guiche glared.
"So you have not only shamed the names of two maidens but intend to make me look like the crook for finding the Zero's pendant!" Guiche roared as he then pulled out a rose and pointed it at Saito. "I will not allow this insult to go unpunished, you have defiled the names of two young maidens and such I demand a duel." Guiche called out as Saito glared seeing not talking his way out of this.
"Fine but if I win I get Louise's Pendant back." Saito said as Guiche nodded.
"That is if there was a chance of you winning but if I win I expect a heartfelt apology to me and the maidens whose names you trampled on." Guiche said as Saito nodded.
"Fine name a place and time." Saito said as Guiche smirked.
"Very well Vestri Court in One Hour." Guiche said as Saito nodded.
"See you there." Saito said before Guiche took his leave.
That was when Louise appeared as she was shocked. "Familiar what were you thinking?!" Louise demanded as Saito looked.
"I was thinking of getting your Pendant back of course." Saito said as Louise was shocked that Saito was going this far to get her precious treasure back.
"But you'll die commoners can't beat Nobles it's impossible." Louise said as Saito looked.
"How come?" Saito asked as Louise looked.
"Because Nobles have magic on their side a commoner can't match up to that." Louise said as Saito looked.
"Then I'll find a way." Saito said as Louise was shocked.
"Why? Why risk your life for something that isn't even yours!?" Louise demanded as Saito looked.
"Because I understand the sentimental reasons behind that Pendant." Saito said as Louise was shocked. Saito pulled from his shirt a necklace of his own that had multiple blade likes things on it as he showed it to Louise. "This necklace was my dad's, he gave it to me on my birthday before he mysteriously vanished one day. I swore I'd wear it everywhere I go and one day I'd find out what happened to him so to me it's my only connection to my father." Saito said as Louise was shocked.
"Familiar… Saito please promise me something." Louise said as she looked down with her hair shadowing her eyes with Saito looking to her.
"Depends on what it is." Saito said as Louise looked.
"You better win and get my pendant back!" Louise called out with some tears in her eyes.
"I promise." Saito said as Louise turned away.
"Don't make a girl a promise you can't keep." Louise warned as Plue then pulled on Saito's pants.
"Puun." Plue said as when Saito looked the Carrot Nosed Dog handed him a piece of candy.
"Thanks Plue." Saito said as he looked. "I'm heading to the kitchen to grab the food you left me I need to keep my strength up." Saito said before heading over to the Kitchen.
(Scene Break 1 Hour Later Vestri Court)
Up upon the roof the mysterious young man smiled as he watched this. "Well what do you know looks like we're about to see the Rave Master rise, once he takes back the Key Stone." He said as he sat up and watched the fireworks.
Guiche looked down upon Saito as Saito glared at the prissy boy. "I commend you for not running away familiar of Zero." Guiche said as Saito glared.
"Shut up I just want Louise's pendant returned that's all I don't really care about this stupid duel." Saito said as Guiche glared.
"Very well then." Guiche began before swiping his rose causing a pedal to come out. Once the pedal landed it soon formed into a Valkyrie as Saito also noticed that around Guiche's neck was Louise's pendant attached to a chain. "My Runic name is the Bronze and as a mage my Valkyrie shall be your opponent." Guiche said as Saito took a battle stance.
Saito saw that in a fist fight he was no match for the Valkyrie so his best course of action avoid the Valkyrie and go straight for Guiche. "Tell me when." Saito said as Guiche smirked.
"Very well then let us begin the duel, Attack my Valkyrie!" Guiche called out before the Valkyrie charged. Saito also charged and spun around the Valkyrie before going straight for Guiche who was wide eyed and did not see that coming.
"I'm taking back Louise's precious treasure now!" Saito called before grabbing the pendant before Guiche could step back. As Guiche step backed and Saito pulled the two forces caused the chain to break and now the pendant was in Saito's hand glowing bright.
Saito looked at the pendant as his eyes marveled at its beauty and how it seemed to glow in his hand. It was simple to most yes but if you looked closely its design was that of true beauty. Unaware to many a lot of people around the continent and even in the Holy lands can sense what just happened as an awakening had just began.
(In the Forest)
A young girl with gifted breasts stopped what she was doing as she looked to the small shrine she had. She was wide eyed as she could sense it, the item the shrine guarded had resonated showing this long blond haired elf girl that something had begun.
(At the Lake)
The Water Spirit opened her eyes as she saw that even though her Ring was stolen the other artifact she was tasked with guarding had responded to this awakening as she could sense it. After so many millennia HE had appeared once more.
(In Romalia)
The Pope was shocked as he had sensed it. He ran to his treasury and to his shock saw a light shining from it signaling the awakening as he was shocked. "No the legends hold truth." He said shocked to hear this. "If the Rave Master has in fact appeared then so has Etherion." The Pope said knowing how this could affect Brimir's church and all those affected. "The powers that defies the Founder and his Holy Void." The Pope growled as he knew he had to find the Void Mages soon.
(In a Secret Fortress in the Dark Mountains)
A man with blue eyes and blond hair opened his eyes as he looked at his large sword that carried a purple crystal in it. The man dressed in black armor fit for royalty knew what this meant as he stood up from his throne and looked to the mural on his far wall. "So he has finally appeared." The man said with a glare as he knew that Rave has awoken and chosen a new Rave Master. "Well then it seems Demon Card has a new enemy." The man said before sitting back down upon his throne.
(In a secret Prison Deep in Germanian Territory)
A young man about a year or so older the Saito opened his eyes as he sat in darkness. He could feel it as a pendant similar to the one Louise had floated near him glowing as he smirked at it. "Yes Mother I can sense it and feel it, the Rave Master has returned." He said with a smirk and soon his escape from this prison would be upon them.
(Back at the Duel)
"Get him my Valkyrie!" Guiche roared as Saito was wide eyed.
Out of instincts Saito punched the Valkyrie and to everyone's amazement his punch caused a small explosion which knocked back the Valkyrie. "What?!" Louise called from the crowd shocked to see this.
"Can he perform explosions like the Zero?" Came the many voices of the students as Saito was amazed that he could do that with the Pendant.
"Get up my Valkyrie and attack but don't let him hit you!" Guiche called as he wanted to win.
Up on the roof the young man smirked as he knew now was the time to intervene. "Let's freeze for a bit." He said as he jumped down as time seemed to halt all around him as people froze and Saito was about to attack the Valkyrie with his fist as the Valkyrie was about to punch as well.
The man then got between them and grabbed the appendage they were using to attack. "Now Time on." He said before time resumed and to everyone's shock the man had appeared out of nowhere and was holding a large wrapped up item on his back as he was holding the two attacks before pushing them apart. "Sorry to intrude but I have a package for one Saito Hiraga that's been waiting a long time for someone like him." The man said as Guiche glared.
"Who are you!?" Guiche demanded as the man shrugged him off.
"Meh just an observer nothing big." He said before unwrapping the item revealing a large rusted sword as Saito was wide eyed. "As for you Mr. Saito I have a present for you, Happy Birthday Rave Master." The man said handing him the sword.
"Wait but it's not my birthday." Saito said as when Saito picked up the sword his Familiar Marks glowed giving him information on the sword. "Wait this Sword, the Ten Commandments a magic sword that has a total of 10 forms this form is known as Eison Meteor." Saito said as he looked at the sword. Saito picked up the sword and saw he could lift it pretty easily but he had to admit the weight kind of threw him off. "Wait this indent." Saito said noticing the indent that was the same shape as Louise's pendant. Saito then turned to Louise as she was in the front of the crowd. "Hey Louise can I borrow your magic pendant for a bit I promise to return it once I'm done!" Saito called as Louise looked wondering how Saito assumed that he gained explosive punches from it.
"Very well Familiar but be sure to return it!" Louise called before Saito nodded. Saito then put the pendant in the indent and to his amazement it fit.
"Wow it fits!" Saito said as the mysterious young man smirked.
"That's what she said." He joked as that got a few laughs from the men of the crowd. The sword once the pendant was inserted began to glow before the rust all came off and it looked as good as new.
Saito then smirked as he was ready for battle. "Get him!" Guiche called as the young man vanished and was now in the crowd on a chair watching the fight.
Saito roared before slicing the Valkyrie in two as he smirked at Guiche who was shocked. "Man this sword is on the heavy side but nothing I won't get used to." Saito as Guiche glared before summoning 7 more rose pedals which all formed into new Valkyries that were now armed.
"Destroy him!" Guiche ordered as Saito then smirked. The Stone to Saito's shock then glowed before the sword transformed to a sleeker one with an orange red blade and a dark red hilt with the Pendant on the hilt as now it had taken a new form. The Familiar Mark had nothing to give on this as Louise was shocked as she swore she had seen that sword in her dreams.
"Explosion, the Detonating Sword." Louise said as now everyone was scared because if Louise's familiar has a sword that explodes upon strikes then they need to steer clear of him. Saito then charged forward and slashed at the Valkyries and cut them in two with the company of an explosion.
Saito then held Explosion at Guiche with a glare directed torts the scared prissy boy. "Give up." Saito said as Guiche nodded.
"Ok I surrender!" Guiche called as Saito nodded before his sword reverted to Eison Meteor form.
"Good choice." Saito said before walking to Louise.
"Saito you won!" Louise called out as Siesta appeared as she was shocked to see the sword.
"That sword…" Siesta said as the two looked to her. "My family had forged that sword a long time ago, Sir Saito are you the new Rave Master?" Siesta asked shocked to see this.
"Yeah I guess I am." Saito said holding the sword up. But soon to everyone's shock the blade snapped in two as Saito was wide eyed at this as was Louise and Siesta.
"Man that sucks the sword was under used for so long its first use after a long time it breaks." The man said as he was looking at the sword. "Anyway if you guys want the story I'm going to need you three to follow me torts your headmaster perverts office." The man said as he finished off a piece of cake.
"Um Sure." Saito said as they soon began making their way to the head masters office.
(Scene Break at the Headmasters Office)
After gathering the two pieces of the TCM the four now stood before Osmand the old mage who was the headmaster of the Academy. "Hmm what can I do for you four?" Osmand asked as the strange young man took out a pocket watch and was looking at it.
"One moment please, and now." He said before the door opened and Colbert walked in.
"Oh sorry I didn't know you had guests here." Colbert said as the young man looked.
"Don't worry actually I was expecting you here now let's all grab a seat because you're going to need it." The young man said as everyone took a seat. Once everyone was seated the young man spoke. "Now then from what I gather Colbert here had discovered that Saito's marks belong to Gandalfr the left hand of God who is a known weapon master and was used to cover Brimir while he casted his spells am I right?" The young man asked as Colbert was shocked. "Now then I can't reveal everything but I can tell you these things, Saito is Gandalfr but at the same time he isn't that will be explained at a later date, but I can assure you all here and now Louise is NOT a Void Mage." The young man said as Louise was shocked that Colbert had thought her a Void Mage.
"Wait if Ms. Vallier isn't a Void Mage then how did she summon a new Gandalfr? And a better question who are you?" Colbert asked as the young man smirked.
"Call me Lance or Lancelot whichever floats your boat, as for how she summoned Gandalfr well I can't tell you everything but let's just say some people set a few things up in the past and leave it at that. But I bet your wondering what type of Mage Louise is then, right?" He asked as everyone nodded. "Well Louise my dear you are the first and only Mage who carries a power that can equal and surpass Void you are the world's first Etherion Mage." Lance said as Louise was shocked and confused.
"Etherion Mage?" Louise asked as Osmand looked.
"And how can this Etherion Mage surpass Void?" Osmand said sense he needed an explanation.
"Alright before I begin word of warning if you hear something you don't like and start an inquisition or firing magic at me not only will I defend myself but you won't stand a chance against my brand of magic." Lancelot said even though he couldn't openly interfere. "Now then Void is as the name implies unlike popular belief, its nothingness just an endless abyss where things go when they reach there end. Etherion is much different it hold the power of creation which allows it to equal the Void and the power of destruction which allows it to surpass it was Etherion that created the Key Rave Louise had held on sense she was five and had summoned forth Plue the Rave Bearer." Lancelot said as Colbert looked.
"Plue?" Colbert said before feeling a tugging on his robe. He looked down and saw Plue there as he looked to the professor.
"Puun." The Carrot Nosed Dog Greeted as Colbert chose to stay calm knowing if it wanted to cause harm this Plue would have done it by now.
"Now then now we get to the nitty gritty of things, 6,000 years ago in Brimir's time there was a war between the light which were the Rave Stones that were named after its creator Resha Valentine, and the Dark which was the Sinclair Shadow Stone, the end of the battle caused a powerful explosion which scattered the Rave Stones across this continent." Lancelot said before continuing. "The Sinclair Shadow Stone which is the mother of all Shadow Stones was shattered into five similar pieces but we don't have to worry about them for a while, anyway have all of you heard of the Anti Brimir Group called Demon Card?" Lancelot asked as Osmand nodded.
"Yes apparently they have amassed quiet the legion of followers ranging from Nobles, to commoners, and even thieve and mercenaries." Osmand said as Louise was shocked. "Plus I have heard they wield dark unholy powers and have begun quiet the conquest to destroy Brimir's church." Osmand said as Lancelot nodded.
"Yeah well there using counterfeit Shadow Stones while though not as powerful as the original are still dangerous hence why Saito here was summoned by the Etherion Mage." Lancelot said as he looked to Saito. "The Etherion Mage is the only one capable of Summoning the Rave Master as his or her familiar and it was no coincidence that Louise had met Plue at a young age, summoned Saito, and met Siesta Musica here who hails from the family who forged the TCM that is now broken." Lancelot said as Osmand was worried now.
"Only the Rave Master has the power to defeat the Shadow Stones and Demon Card but to do that he must find the four other Rave Stones." Lancelot said before looking to Louise and Siesta. "But to complete this task Saito will need your help Louise so as much as you might hate it you might have to drop out of the Academy to go on this quest to locate the Rave Stones." Lancelot said as he then looked to Siesta. "And Siesta you need to go with them as well being a Silver Claimer and being a Musica your help will be greatly needed, plus you need to take Saito here to your grandfather so he can fix the TCM." Lancelot said as Louise was shocked.
"But how can you expect me to drop what I'm doing and go on this quest!" Louise demanded as she was shocked.
"I know you don't want this Louise but there are secrets, secrets you yourself aren't aware of and you need to discover them, plus you don't have to do what Brimir did when he was the Void Mage as an Etherion Mage with you four working together you can defeat the Shadow Stones and save this world." Lancelot said as he stood up and got on his hands and knees in a bow. "So please Etherion Mage and Rave Master lend us your power in this world's time of need." He said as Louise was hesitate but Saito then put his hand on her shoulder and smiled.
"Don't worry I'll be with you every step of the way, besides I would want to run away to but it just doesn't sit well by me if I let a world get destroyed because I didn't want to fight." Saito said as Louise smiled.
Siesta looked to Louise and smiled herself. "Don't worry Lady Louise I'll accompany you after all its hard to find someone who I can talk about those "Special," Romance Novels we read." Siesta said before Louise looked down and saw Plue there giving her a thumbs up.
"Puun." Plue said as Louise sighed in defeat.
"Ok I'll do it." Louise said as Colbert looked.
"Are you sure this could end in disaster." Colbert said and Lancelot looked.
"This is our pest shot at saving the world but the world is in their hands now." Lancelot said as he then took out his pocket watch and realized something. "Shit we're behind schedule here, you three should get ready your first stop is the town to get Saito a temporary Sword no doubt Demon Card is already aware of you guys, after that it's off to Siesta's home town of Tarbes to get the TCM fixed, and once done the beginning of your hunt for the Rave Stones." Lancelot said before out of nowhere pulling out a cake that had candles and written in frosting "Happy Birthday Rave Warriors," which showed it was a birthday cake. "Happy birthday Rave Warriors." He said before giving them the cake which Saito took as everyone looked at the cake questionably.
"Oh um… thanks?" Saito trailed off as to everyone's shock Lancelot was gone.
"We should go prepare." Louise said as Saito, Siesta, and Plue nodded and left the room.
"Can we really trust in that strange mans' words?" Osmand asked as Colbert looked.
"I mean no disrespect but in my time in the military I learn to pick up on things and that man he knows more then he lets on but isn't allowed to tell but he was most definitely telling the truth." Colbert said as Osmand looked.
"Well then I shall prepare a message to send to the castle and Lady Vallier of this development but I will be sure to hold off on mentioning Etherion for now, if people learn of this no doubt the Church will consider her the bringer of the Apocalypse or caused people to put her in Brimir's positon to gain more power." Osmand said as Colbert nodded.
"It's for the best because if Louise is the First Etherion Mage then the spells and powers Etherion possesses can only be invented, discovered, and born through her." Colbert said as everyone could agree on that.
(Scene Break the next day early morning)
Louise still in her uniform minus the mantel looked to the Academy one last time as next to, her was Siesta in her normal day clothing when she was off the clock as with them was Saito. They were carrying small bags as Louise had her more expensive clothing and belongings sent back home. But for now she needed to avoid her mother for the time being at least until she can figure out a way to explain this.
Saito then from his pocket pulled out the Key Rave and handed it to Louise. "Here Louise I promised I would give it back to you." Saito said as Louise looked.
"Keep it Saito you need it more than I do." Louise said as Saito nodded and put it back in his pocket.
"So our first destination is the capital?" Siesta asked as Louise nodded.
"Yes I know of a weapon shop there we can buy Saito a sword while some other shops we can prepare for the long journey ahead." Louise said as Saito nodded.
"It will be a long one but it's like I always say life is one big adventure." Saito said with a smile as Siesta smiled.
"Well then I look forward to experiencing it." Siesta said with a smile.
"Puun." Plue called out as all four of them smiled before with their first step they were off beginning their journey with Plue riding on Saito's head.
This journey has only just begun and now the tale of light vs dark has taken a new form. Let's listen to the tale of the warrior who will battle the Shadow Stones and Demon Card, this is the tale of the Rave Master.

Character Info
Luciel Del Tristiana
Age 18
Hair blond
Eyes Blue
Occupancy Shadow Master
Family: Mother Marianne
Father Gale Del Tristiana/King
Sibling: Henrietta (Younger Sister)
Origins: Luciel Del Tristian as a child always clung to his mother and was known as a shy yet sweet and kind boy. His father valued strength because without strength he would be unable to protect the kingdom and his family to which Luciel looked up to him. Luciel wasn't the perfect Mage but in close quarter combat he was rising to equal his father in that regard. But one day Priests from Brimir's church became corrupt and valued there position of power but when Luciel wanted to change some things that would endanger their position they knew Luciel had to go and hopefully his younger sibling would be the perfect puppet ruler in his place. So they appeared before the King and Queen saying they had sensed an evil presence in the royal family attempting to destroy the kingdom with its dark and demonic magic. They then signaled out Luciel as the possessed child. The King defended his son saying no evil presence had taken refuge in his son and unless the church in Romalia says otherwise his son was staying with his family.
Later the Priests began setting up events that would actually make it seem like Luciel was possessed by an evil spirit and when the Church finally got around to it they deemed that Luciel was a demon in disguise and had taken him away. The Corrupt Priests had Luciel taken to a secret Germanian Prison and locked him away for 10 whole years while Henrietta grew up unaware of her older brother or that she even had a brother who by law was the rightful heir. The King Gale became mad with grief and learned the existence of the Shadow Stones and created Demon Card as a means to combat them. But in his grief for the loss of his son Gale turned Demon Card into an Anti Brimir terrorist cell which quickly amassed followers as he used the Shadow Stones to fuel his power. Eventually Gale was no more and in his place was the man that the world would fear the undisputed leader of Demon Card King.
Luciel though grew up in darkness which attracted the Sinclair's Heart to him which then spoke using his mother's voice deeming that Luciel is now the Shadow Master and he must gather the Shadow Stones when the time is right and finish what was started over 6,000 years ago. Upon his father's death Luciel escapes the Germanian Prison and makes his way torts Demon Cards Fortress and in turn Tristiana and after showing blood proof that he is the King and Queens long lost son was named the King while Henrietta was removed from power and forced into hiding while she seeks out the Rave Master and his allies.
