Chapter 1 Memories
Memory… memory, both a gift, and a curse. To remember happy times, of being young playing with friends going on adventures. When older looking back on them then looking forward to reincarnation to make new happy memories. But then destruction lose of not one but two worlds I called home. The lost of my race…
Someone can go mad remembering everything of ever past life, a curse. I however see it as a gift. The gift of memory, knowing where we have been. Seeing the looks of excitement on my people's faces when they discover something new. Not knowing that they have done the same thing time, and time again.
I can recall so easily, the visitors looking for a new home. Chibi offering to share ours. For a time we lived in peace… till the accusation. They accusation us of stealing the heart of their youngest citizen. Not knowing the truth we denied it, then the war. Death… destruction. Qilby, the traitor, brought us salvation in the form of the Eliacube, if we would have know, if I would have known I would have grab it and given it back. But we didn't I didn't.
So we sent our children to a safe place we called Emrub, and fled our world. Traveling from world to world till we found a new home. There we brought our children back and were once again happy. The traitor, how ever was not, always wanting us to move on, to learn more.
Then one day Chibi made an announcement, that he would name a successor, a new king. Many times before he had made that announcement but the crown somehow always made it back to him. I guess no one really took it seriously since after a time he would be back, reborn, another one of my gifts. But this one granted to all seven of use, the first borns.
This time was different, somehow I felt it. The people started to talk wondering who it would be. Many talk of Qilby being named, saying he had knowledge and would make a wise king. However knowing does not mean your wise.
The day it happened, most of it so easy to recall just like everything else. Chibi walking up to me, asking where Yugo was, Yugo… how I miss you.
[]… Chibi asking for me to bring him back. That he had to be in the village for the announcement. At the time I didn't clue in on that he 'had' to be there for the announcement, just that I was asked to go get him. I quickly opened a portal and was off. To Chibi it would have seemed like I just went in some random direction, but somehow I always knew what direction he was in.
I quickly came upon him, surrounded by some… animals. A stick in one hand that he was using as a sword and an energy shield made of his Wakfu on his other. Landing in a tree I watched as he fought with them. It looked like they were going at it for a bit. I could sit and watch him all day. After a few minutes, just as one of the younger animals started to charge he opened a portal and fell down into it shortly falling out on his feet from a seconded out side the circle. The animal became confused as it ran into an older one of his kind looking around dazed. Yugo dropped the stick and let his shield fade, grinning he waved at the animals saying that it was enough for today.
Letting myself fall from the tree I open a portal and came out next to Yugo. Telling him that Chibi wanted him in the village for his announcement. The look of surprise on his face made me giggle as he said that Chibi never made him attend his announcements before. I just shrugged saying he didn't tell me why.
Being first borns we were members of the council but Yugo and myself didn't have to attend meetings unless it was us calling for one or something real important needed to be discussed. Everyone was already present, waiting on the council, the other council members talking among them selfs.
The wait was over once Yugo and I appeared from our portals next to the others. For having the gift of memory this always seemed a blur. From just after Chibi saying good your back to me noticing Qilby's look of fury as he stormed off. I do know it wasn't the moment Chibi named Yugo king that made my memory falter. For only having two moments where I don't see my memory clearly I know that just Chibi saying Yugo was now king wasn't what made it blur it was what he said next.
If I constraint I can remember, Chibi continuing by telling the people once Yugo has reborn and has come of age to tell him of his new birthright, and once the crowd broke into 'long live the king' for a shocked Yugo. Chibi turned to me saying he's counting on me for my gift of memory. This is when the blur started, the point where Yugo would really be king, and not just a regent till Chibi's rebirth. Try as I might I can't remember the next bit of what Chibi said till I saw the look on Qilby's face.
Nothing too much changed after the announcement, Yugo would go on his little adventures. The council would hold meetings. There was no real big change. It did annoy Yugo to be called king, and your highest. Having something new to tease Yugo with was fun. Like so many times before we started to grow closer becoming even closer friends. It was a year since he became king when I sensed it was time to once again cross from friend to… more.
Each new life I would wait for Yugo to realize his feelings only give that final push when he was just a little too shy. This time it was hard to be alone for long enough. Each time someone coming for Yugo to decide on something.
The second time my memory faulted, it was spouse to be a happy day. I over heard Yugo asking Chibi to handle any kingly duties for the day. I left before I heard anymore. In my room I look at myself in my mirror. A 17 year old young lady looks back. I'm wearing a fade light pink hat that covers my Wakfu wings and hair. A matching pink dress covering my body ending just past my knees.
A short time later Yugo found me and asked me to a picnic. We were having a wonderful time when a panicked boy cam running screaming for Yugo, I was taken back when Yugo cursed it was the first time I remember he did for just being called. He continued by saying we can't have any time alone.
When the boy got to us he was out of breath, panting 'trouble… Qilby… Mechsame…'
We took one look at each other then portal boosted back to the village where the council and others were confronting Qilby. The traitor was summoning the Mechsame, saying he would force us back to the krozmos.
The look of pain and anger on our people's face tore at me as Yugo opened portals and got between Qilby and his people, energy sword and shield ready. The fight was fierce Qilby and Yugo trading blows. Phaeris helping Yugo where he could, the rest of the council protecting the people. Then the blur begins, Yugo tapping into powers we never knew he had. Opening a large portal behind Qilby as Yugo charges him of betraying his people and sentencing him to exile. Yugo weakened from opening the portal Qilby dealt a blow so, so powerful Yugo's weapons fade and he started to fall.
Screaming his name I somehow found myself under Yugo catching him. As Phaeris puts Qilby through the portal. All I can think of is Yugo in my arms fading away saying he wanted to tell me how much he cared for me. Then my arms passed through him as he fades to join his brother in their Dufos to be reborn.
Shaking I start to feel numb, a dull sense of power welds up. More then I ever though I had. As my surroundings suddenly change I draw in air then let out a scream I feel my body go red hot as Wakfu power surges, swelling out and around as if I was the centre of a storm. Suddenly it explodes out in what felt like a wave of destruction. When the storm of Wakfu ends I see a mist like mirror in front of me.
I kneel there crying as I watch through it, all the children being gathered to be sent back to Emrub. The adults preparing for the arrival of the Mechsame. I'm vaguely area of the council trying to figure out where I went.
I kneel there so filled with grief and pain. Then a warm sensation forms around me, a voice cutting through the grief saying it'll be ok. That I will be safe to grief. To watch over and one day to come back.
I've been here ever since, my own little universe. Able to see how the world changed. How it was destroyed, how the ten gods and goddesses came and made it anew. How two more ruse up to make it the world of twelve, of Ogrest chaos, as they call it. But none of that interests me, not till I see a flash of light. A new but all so familiar feeling. Looking up, looking through the window like mist.
When the flash fades I see Grougaloragran pushing a baby carriage, I feel a tiny laugh come out seeing how ridicules it looks. Then the feeling again, coming from the carriage a tear of happiness falls as I whisper, "Yugo."
