Chapter 1 – Possession
"This end's now, Final…" Rex started putting the powers of the Spirit Vessel and the sword of his ancestors into his last attack "BREAK!" He exclaimed slashing through Summerill, the King of Darkness. Landing on his feet, he feel on his knee's from the amount of energy he used in his final attack. Falling over, he was picked up by his only living relative.
"Rex, you did it." Zerva said helping him too his feet. Everyone was tired from the fights in the City of the Dead Barzakh. Putting his sword in the scabbard, he turned away from the dissolved body of Summerill. A shadowy figure emerged from the dust charging at the back of the exhausted hero.
"Rex, Zerva watch out!" Ellis exclaimed as the figure plunged into the body of the current Spirit Vessel which throw the Syrium back. Rex's hair began to change from his light brown color to a black that rivaled Vashtor's armor.
"Hehehehe… HAHAHAHA!" The dark spirit laughed as the body of Rex began to float from the place where he fell. "Finally, the power of the Spirit Vessel is in my grasp, now I can take back the Bracelet of the Covenant which belongs to me." Summerill said pulling out the same sword that defeated him moments ago. "So… who would like to sleep in the darkness fir-ugh!?" The demonic king stopped feeling a pain coursing through his new body. "Your body submit's and your heart as been taken, so why doesn't your souls succumb!?" It said as the souls of two Spirit Vessels fought to keep the darkness from keeping Rex's body.
In his mindscape, two figures stood in an area that was all light. One was Rex whose blue eyes could tell that he was tired and exhausted. The other was a familiar person in the journeys.
"Leonhardt… why are you here, I thought you were sealed in the pillar on your continent?" Rex asked the man in front of him.
"I guess you could say I am, but we are all connected to you in the soul." Leonhardt answered with a sad face. "Sadly everyone else wasn't strength enough to withstand the darkness." He paused with a smile. "But Thoma sure did make everyone go silent with his Summerill breaking the third rule of the 'Rules of a Gentleman."
"I remember Winfield trying to teach me them one day." Rex said giving a sheepish smile.
While in the city of Lingen, Rex was taking a much need rest when the man of the hour arrived to end his sleep.
"Rex, are you in there!?" Winfield said banging the door so hard that it started to crack.
"Yes Winfield, come in." Rex replied getting out of bed as the gunslinger himself locked the door and turned to Rex. "What can I do for you Winfield?"
"Rex, today is the day that you join the elite ranks of an brotherhood that has been going through your blood since your great-grandfather, who was my best student." He said shedding a tear in happiness of how proud he was of Thoma. "Today is the day you will learn "The Rules of a Gentlemen!" Winfield declared as fireworks went off outside after him saying that.
"I don't think that will be necessary Winfield."
"NONSCENES, NO MAN CAN CALL THEMSELVES A MAN IF THEY DON'T LEARN THESE SACRED RULES!" Winfield shouted trying to convince Rex to become his student. "TRUST IN ME AND YOU WILL HAVE EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD DOING YOUR EVERY WHIM!"
"May I ask then why you haven't had someone like Ellis drooling over you?"
"It is because my new student, she is too stubborn to forget her first love and I let me students have whatever woman they want and if they unlikely fail, I correct them and we continue on our quest so that every woman of the world is ours." He said crying manly tears that he and Thoma shed as they declared their ultimate goal in life.
"Thanks but I think I will be fine, now can you please go so I can return back to sleep?" Rex said opening the door for his friend.
"Very well Milord, but just ask and I will share my wisdom with you." Winfield finished as Rex closed the door and returned back to sleep.
"I would hate to discredit Winfield, but I am very glad that you didn't learn them, but I need to tell you something." Leonhardt put his hand on Rex's shoulder. "Summerill damaged most of your body to the point where you will not be able to wield a sword properly." He finished as the young man looked shocked from hearing this. "But listen, I have no doubt that you will make a full recovery in time. Now, you have to return back to everyone and continue living." Leonhardt said fading into the light as the place started to disappear as if it was a dream.
Authors Notes – It makes me very sad that there are so little FanFiction on Records of Agarest War so I have decided I will make one while working on my current project. Things to note is that although it follows the true path, there will be no boundary plane, no killing the Gods (Sorry Kratos), and other scenes as time goes on that will make this a smoother ride. If you know what the title means, then you might know what this will turn into in the future. See you in Chapter 2.
