This is my story, a story that does not have a happy ending as far as I can see.
I have transformed but I still look human, my hair once a vibrant pink is now a cold ivory colour. Eyes as bright as fresh spring lakes now is as red as the fires of hell. I am becoming the entity known as Feria, a white wolf that watches over wars and lead the ones who are destined to lose to their demise.
I glance over to Albel, his teeth clenched as Luther goes on about his proclamations about our demise. He is going to win, I can feel it echo deep in my soul, Albel would be my first demise but after all that's happened, I cannot let him die.
I stepped forward, Luther smirks at me, he knew what I was and what I meant.
"I will stop you" I evenly say as everyone looks at me. Shock is present now, I told them what will happen and what choices I had but today, they will survive, my life is staked on it.
Wait, I am getting ahead of myself, aren't I?
Let's go back to the beginning.

I was named Akira
I have never met my family and I never heard of them either, so I don't feel anything in that regards, I was placed in the care of Glou Nox for as long as I can remember and was Albel's companion growing up, so you could say I know him very well and we be close. I could never call him family though, he trained with me as I learnt the way of close quarter combat and martial arts and he with the sword. My skills as a strategist and spellcaster was trained by Woltar. Albel was informed of why I must be kept with him at the age of 13 but it's when he was 15 that things changed between us. The Ascension of the flame was the very reason he came to never trust me.
I went to his father a week before and warned him and that I must leave earlier then intended, I had to protect my master. Obviously he said no, I was young and Albel needed me, where he was old and Albel will soon grow up and forget about him. I tried to rebuke what he said but he simply said he will make sure that I will live till I was old protecting his son, like he shall do as a final kind gesture.
The night before the Ascension, I was locked in the dungeon on his orders. I cried all night.
The next day, I was told the news and I cried more, I wanted to see Albel but they said he was recovering and wanted to see no one.
It was a week later that I was able to see him. It ended badly, he lashed out at me, saying that I failed him and I should have been there to protect him. I felt his trust and kindness towards me dwindle that day.
Everyday since then, has been a battle. He wanted nothing to do with me but obey his every whim, which I silently did.

It was not until this moment today, in the fourth dimension, that I will perform the duty to protect him. My eyes showed determination to betray the calling of my inner entity. Luther frowns darkly at me, he knew I was doing the opposite of what was expected of me. This is where the tale does not begin though. The tale begins on the cool morning where Albel first encounters Fayt and his companions at the Kirlsa training grounds.
