For any commoner to be in Saito's situation right now, it would be a great honor to be recognized by the palace for capturing a highly-sought-after thief, as well as being invited to the Ball of Frigg, a function that only nobles attend. But Saito is not really a normal commoner…he is the familiar of Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, or as Louise likes to say, 'her dog;' but Saito has had enough of being a 'dog,' even after saving her from being crushed.

*Flashback*

Saito, standing near the door of the house and 20 meters away from Louise shouted, "Run, Louise!"

Louise refused. "No! If I subdue this, no one will call me Louise the Zero ever again." Louise appeared to be very serious. The golem tilted its head, pondering whether to deal with Louise, or Kirche and Tabitha, who were escaping.

"Look at the size difference between you and the golem! You can't possibly win!"

"You're just a dog, do not dare to tell me what I can and can't do! You better stay where you are while we take care of it."

*Flashback end*

He was pulled out of his thoughts by the voice of one of the guards at the door, who notified everyone of Louise's entrance. "The daughter of the Duke de La Vallière, Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière has arrived!"

Louise was dressed in a white evening gown with her long, strawberry-blonde hair tied up into a pony tail. Her hands were covered by pure white gloves which adorned her grandeur.

After confirming that the guest had arrived, the musicians started playing music that was extremely soothing to the ears. All around Louise were males that were captivated by Louise's beauty asking for a dance with her. After she looked at Saito with indifference for a moment, she turned to one of the boys and accepted his request to dance with him.

"You know, Derf, I think I have had enough of being a familiar," Saito spoke to his sword.

[Are you sure, partner? I mean, I know how Louise treats you, but still…the only way to end a contract is for one of you to die.]

"I don't care! I just want to end this damn thing, and if that means I need to kill someone, then so be it."

*Are you sure about that kid?*

"Who said that?" Saito jumped in surprise and looked around him, but he did not see anyone.

[What's wrong, partner?]

"Nothing. I just thought I heard something."

*I'm not something, kid, and you don't need to shout…you just need to speak in your mind. I hear you just fine.*

|Where you are? I can hear you, but I can't see you.| Saito responded.

*I'm in the rune on your left hand.*

|And why are you in this rune?|

*Do you know anything about Brimir and Void magic?*

|No, not really. Just the tip of the iceberg.|

*The first thing you need to know is that 'the Void' is a magic that came from my world to this world nearly twelve thousand years ago.*

|Wait! From what I know, Brimir and Void magic appeared six thousand years ago. If what you say is true, then why was there not even a single Void mage for such a long time?|

*Void magic has two faces; one face is the power of destruction, and the otherface is the power of creation. One face can't exist if the other is not present aswell.*

|So, six thousand years ago Brimir was born with the second 'face' is what you're trying to say?|

*No. Brimir just had the power of destruction. When Void magic was stolen from my world, the power of creation managed to separate from the power of destruction, and remains in my world. Six thousand years ago, a boy was born with the power of creation in my world, and Brimir was born here with the power of destruction.*

|And what happened to this boy?|

*You are speaking with him right now.*

|So, you're the boy…but what happened so that you are in my rune?|

*I came to this world to take the other part of the Void magic back to my home;but Brimir was waiting for me, and took my power. But he knew that a human can't control the full power of Void, so he did the next best thing. He used my power to create four Void items, four Void rings, and four familiars. But what he didn't know is that my soul was put into the twelve items he made. But this was not his biggest mistake; no, his biggest mistake was that he didn't destroy my body after he took my power. You see, my body somehow managed to use the last bit of power that remained and it created a gate connected to all worlds from this galaxy. It sealed him inside, waiting for my return.*

|And what happened after this?|

*Well, my body started to create Anti-Void existence, and sent attacks against Brimir. Of course, Brimir won against them all; but all that ended when Ancient Dragon appeared.*

|So what happened after Ancient Dragon appeared?|

*He managed to eat two of Brimir's familiars, Mjöðvitnir and Vindálfr, and became nearly as powerful as Brimir. Because Brimir couldn't win, he chose to seal Ancient Dragon inside of his own body. But a short time after this he started to become mad and went to start a holy war with the elf. This brought his death at the hand of his most loved familiar, Gandálfr. But before he died completely,he managed to transfer the Void magic to his descendants-four descendants-each with his own familiar; and of course, he made Sasha the Gandálfr give each ring to the Spirits of water, earth, fire and wind, and the four items to the royal families of Tristania, Galia, Albion and Romalia.*

|Wait! When I fought with Fouquet, she called me 'Gandálfr,' so does this mean Louise is one of the void mages?|

*Yes, but to tell the truth, I'm surprised you are not affected by Gandálfr's fake motive, and that you want to kill your master to break this contract.*

|Fake motive?|

*Yes, this rune will make the familiar obey its master and never think about running away or killing the master. Normally, fake motive activates almost instantly to stop me from awakening, but I see you managed to waken me.*

|Care to tell me if I can break this contract?|

*With my help of course you can. You will still be Gandálfr, but your rune will only be seen if you hold a weapon; and Louise will not be your master anymore,so she can summon another familiar.*

|Good. But tell me what you want in return for this? I don't think you will help me just because you like me.|

*What I want is simple. I want you to be the new host of the true Void, with mein you. And if we absorb the power of my original body, you can resist the power.*

|Hmm…that is good for me, but will I need to kill the Void mage and the familiar to receive the stolen power?|

*Maybe, maybe not. We will see. For now we should collect the first item and ring. I think we need the ring first, so I will have to teach you to use my power.*

|Your power?|

*I'm connected to 'the gate,' and by default, so are you, so I need to teach you to use that power.*

|Fine by me. Now tell me how I can break this contract.|

*Just drop a bit of your blood onto the rune, and I will do the rest.*

Saito took Derf and cut his finger, letting the blood drop onto his rune. After contact, the rune emitted a black, malicious light and disappeared from Saito's skin.

*Done, now we better move from here. Tomorrow we must be in the city.*

|And one more thing, do you know how to write and read?|

*Yes, I know… why did you ask?*

|Can you transfer that information into my head? I need to write something to Louise and it will be helpful to know how to read and write.|

*Ok, I see your point. I will send you the information, now hurry up.*

***Break***

Saito entered into Louise's room and saw her sleeping. He moved to the desk and found some paper and ink and started to write. After this he pulled something out of his pocket and put it over the letter before turning to leave her room.

*Wait a minute. Take the broken, golden sword with you.*

|For what will I need it?|

*You will see…now take it.*

|Fine.|

After Saito picked up the broken sword he left Louise's room and headed for the academy's gate. But in the courtyard the voice stop him once again.

*Wait, grasp the broken sword in you left hand and let me do something.*

|Alright.|

Saito looked in awe as he saw the broken sword become enveloped by a dark aura and start to change. After a few minutes the aura disappeared and Saito found himself holding a double-edged, black long sword.

"What the hell!"

*Looking good…don't you think so, too, partner?*

"You can speak now?"

*Yes, but I need a medium to do it. I can speak now, and this sword is my newmedium.*

"Well, I'm happy to meet you, my name Hiraga Saito."

*I am Shaitan.*

"Well, let's go then."

As Saito put Shaitan on his back, together with Derf in an X-formation, he began moving to the gate once again. The light of the moon and Shaitan's radiant aura made Saito look different. As he exited the academy's gate, a mighty roar was heard throughout all of Halkeginia.

'The next time we meet, I do not think things will be the same,'Master.'
