Chapter 4: destiny accepted?
The monster disappeared with the wind as soon as I hit its weak point, after disappearing my strange surroundings suddenly faded and as it did I saw Himeno fall. Before I could catch her Sasame had beat me to it. I flew towards the ground and felt myself change somehow, my current outfit changed back to the one I was wearing earlier then Hayate appeared in front of me. I ran over to the white haired eighteen year old who was still holding Himeno, I put my hands on her arm and started shaking her calling her name. She opened her eyes after a moment looking up into Sasame's purple eyes then at me, I was relieved that she was alright but I still felt weak. I had so little energy all of a sudden I fell back unconscious, and then I felt myself hit the ground.
After what seemed like an eternity I finally woke up, I was in my room laying win my bed with Himeno sitting next to me. She turned her head and waved her hand calling someone over; I was still really weak so I couldn't hear what she was saying. I saw eight faces looking at me now Hayate, Goh, Sasame, Kei, Mannen, Hajime, Shin, and Himeno. I sat up then winced from the pain in my head what had happened to me? The last thing I remember was a big monster and saving Himeno, I looked over at the seven boys.
"What happened to me, and where did that thing go?" I asked them.
"You vanquished it, with Hayate's help, when you became the Pretear you and him became one and combined your powers to vanquish the demon larva." Sasame explained.
"Whoa wait a minute, you mean to tell me that becoming Pretear mean one of you goes inside of me?" I questioned.
"In a way yes, when you Pret with one of us then we combined our souls with your soul. We also work as your armor so when you are in battle if you get hit, we're the ones that take the damage instead of you unless the knight you Pret with drop the shield protecting you." Kei explained.
"Just what is the Pretear exactly?" Himeno questioned.
"The Pretear is a legendary worrier, a savior if you may, the Pretear is a female warrior meant to protect both this world and the world of Leafe. When the Pretear combines their Liefe with one of the Liefe knights their power alone increases exponentially." Sasame answered.
I started to understand what they were talking about now, though I still had lots of questions that needed answers. I looked over at Himeno who was talking with Hayate and Goh; I looked back over to Kei and Sasame.
"How can we help?" I asked.
"You and Himeno can become the Pretears and help us stop the princess of disaster from destroying our world and yours." Hayate said from across the room.
"Alright I'll do it, I'll become the Pretear." I announced looking at them.
