Chapter Six; Realize
"Well here I am, wondering endlessly talking to myself." he yelled into the whiteness all around him
"Ugh, I wish I had something to do at least." It was drop dead cold there and head nothing to do. What was the point of stressing if nothing was going to happen.
Suddenly, Laverna appeared behind him. "Well, there is this one thing you could do."
"GAH!"
"What?"
"Well you just appeared right behind me."
"You can use the magic in the air to your own will. See let me show you."
She flicked her fingers and a flame popped out of thin air. "Whoa, you can use magic?"
"I can feel that you can too."
"How do you know?"
"Well, I can feel a powerful force within your body and I have the same type."
"You said you had a crystal like mine. Can I see it?"
She nodded her head slowly and brought out her pure ice crystal.
Daisuke laid his next to hers'. They were exactly the same!
"Laverna, have you ever heard of the story of Freedert McDowell."
"My grandmother used to tell me that story about her everyday."
"So did mine. Freedert McDowell was a very powerful magic user of the 1700s. Her most powerful relic was the most beautiful crystal of the time. The sun would glint its color off of it, the colors of the rainbow bouncing in many directions. But the power dwelled within it was powerful; it controlled the elements of the lands of the time; earth, air, ice, water, fire, light, dark, thunder, and gravity. "
The story came into his head slowly, using memory of his late grandmother the last time she told the tale.
"One day, an evil witch confronted her and demanded her crystal. Her face was deformed, her fingers monstrous, claws long as a tiger's. Her hair was dead. But Freedert was beautiful, long hair flowed in the wind. Her eyes were dark brown but were fathomless as time but the witch's were hideous. The witch was purely jealous of her and the only way to weaken her was her power."
He took in a breath and looked at Laverna.
She continued where he left off, "She then enchanted a spell; Powers of Earth, Powers of Lands, scale time, escape the witch, let your power be given again at rebirth of my reincarnate, take the crystal and split from hand!
"The witch screamed out as she turned into ashes and smoke. Freedert died, but she would be back again and…
"She was reborn," They both said the last part simultaneously. "And I think I know who and where her rebirth is."
He said, looking at her, and then remembering Satoshi, Krad, Dark and Kotaruu. "You and I must be part of Freedert."
Pieces of the puzzle came together and he finally said, "We are fire and ice. My friends back home must be earth fro Sakurazaki, dark appropriately for Dark, Krad must be light as his opposite and Satoshi must be water."
"Wait, I know of my friend who has the same crystal but gold."
Daisuke looked at her and then she said," She must be part of Freedert too. That explains our inexplicable beauty; she has blue eyes for Japanese. Her crystal must mean thunder."
"We are still missing gravity and air."
"Nothing must be gathering all of us so she can use..."
Daisuke silenced her. "If one side is affected, thou opposite shall as well."
"What?"
"Since Freedert was reincarnated, the witch should have been as well."
"You are right!" Lavern's mind put one part with another part. "Which means that Nothing is the witch's reincarnation!"
"And as Freedert's reincarnations, we must stop Nothing."
"We," Laverna began, "Must. Kill. Nothing."
He nodded his head and me pulled out a an and began writing down everything.
Then, a clock gonged in the silence and a song began playing.
Warwick Avenue by Duffy.
When I get to Warwick Avenue...
Meet me by the entrance of the tube.
We can talk things over, a little time...
Promise me you won't step outta line.
When I get to Warwick Avenue...
Please drop the past and be true.
Don't think we're okay, just because I'm here...
You hurt me bad, but I won't shed a tear.
I'm leaving you for the last time baby...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I've been confused outta' my mind lately...
You think you're loving but I want to be free.
Baby you've hurt me.
When I get to Warwick Avenue...
We'll spend an hour, but no more than two.
Our only chance to speak, once more...
I showed you the answers, now here's the door.
When I get to Warwick Avenue...
I'll tell you baby, that we're through.
I'm leaving you for the last time baby...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I've been confused outta' my mind lately...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I want to be free, baby you've hurt me.
All those days spent together, I wished for better,
But I didn't want the train to come.
Now it's departed,
I'm broken hearted, seems like we never started.
All the days spent together, when I wished for better,
And I didn't want the train to come
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I want to be free, baby you've hurt me.
You don't love me,
I want to be free,
Baby you've hurt me.
"What is that?"
Laverna turned to his direction, sadness filling her eyes.
"What's wrong Laverna?"
She wiped her eyes and then said, "This used to be my mom's favorite song. But, Nothing killed her"
His eyes widened.
"What!?"
"Yeha, in order for me to get here, she had to go through my mom. That day I swore to kill her."
He grabbed her hand and said, "We, as Freedert's reincarnation, will."
New Character's Point of View
"So," Dark said, vein popping in his forehead.
"You are saying that you think you can get Daisuke back."
I nodded slowly, gazing at all of their faces' beauty. I wish I wasn't plain.
"Well, I feel magical energy since I am able to read your minds."
"You are still saying that you can bring him back right?"
"Yes she is Dark." Krad said, annoyance showing.
"My friend Laverna is missing too and I feel the same magical energy coming from her as do you guys. By the way, I am Yuunagi Kagurazaki."
"Let me see the crystal you have around your neck Kagurazaki-san"
Sakurazaki held out his hand and I slowly handed him my gold crystal. Then, I clearly saw that all of them, Dark, Krad, Satoshi and Sakurazaki had the exact same crystal but different colors."
"Tell me Yuunagi," Dark began.
"Yes Mousy-san"
"Well, have you ever heard of the magic user Freedert"
