Chapter 5

The Mysterious Man

Gale's POV

"So let me guess this straight, you three are from a village called Elverna. And the three of you decided to leave your home, and explore Elrios?" The boy known as Jiro replied.

"Yes." Lune simply replied.

"In addition; earlier today. The three of you, beat the crap out of the imperial guards. How the hell is that possible?!" He began panicking.

"Well its something, thats been past down by blood." Neige politely responded.

"Blood?" Jiro responded; quite curious.

"We inherited our power from our parents." I answered him.

"Wait?! Does that mean all those crazy tricks you did earlier..." Jiro was agaped.

"You don't know? Its magic." I replied. Sheathing my sword, and rising my palm; I began focusing energy from my palm, and a wisp of fire instantly appeared.

"I know what you mean. But I've never seen your guy's magic before." He replied. Just as I was about to answer; an explosion was heard, coming from the main district.

"What was that?!" I shouted.

"I don't know! But we better find out." Neige replied. As me, her, and her brother ran towards the district, with Jiro catching up to us. We saw what was happening; two groups we're fighting one another. One of them were neatly dressed, the others were all casually dressed.

"In the name, of her highness. We must reclaim the throne!" A man wearing armor, holding a great sword on his hand charged towards the other faction.

"For the king!" A man that had a beard, wearing heavy armor rushed in with a group of man. In only matter of seconds, both sides collided, and blood was shed soon after. The sight of blood made me nostalgic, yet, it seem very relaxing and irresistible to look at. My blood began to pumped, and my face made a slight grin. While I heard a demonic voice in my head.

Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill. The voice ranted, and I soon couldn't control myself; I began to unsheath my sword. Until Neige stopped me.

"Gale, calm down..." She said softly to me; I took a deep breath, and relaxed a bit before sheathing my sword back into its hilt. Regaining my sanity; I turned around and looked at the three.

"It looks like we'll have to find a way around them. Lune, any ideas?" I asked, the silver-haired boy, as he pointed his finger towards a direction in the alley.

"This way..." He replied, and we began following him. On to a corridor, and around that corridor was a speck of light coming that way. But soon after, the sound of another footsteps were heard behind.

"Where do you four, think your going?" A deep-voice replied, behind us. I slowly turned around, and saw a man with spiked hair, with a ponytail going down his waist. Sleek black armor chest platings were add on to his body, with it a El shard on the center, and red streaks running down the plating. On the topside of his forearms we're two large El shards embedded on to him. His eyes were a crimson orange with a flame imprint on them; his body looked abnormal, almost as if he was a machine.

"..." I remain silent for a number of time, before he responded again.

"I've recently got a report of a noble being robbed by a blue haired boy; and a guard was beaten, by a hazel-eyed demon with a sword." As soon as he said that, I tried hiding my sword on my back; hoping he wouldn't notice my blade. Unfortunately, he already notice, and was averting his eyes onto my sword.

"Wait, how did you find us?" Neige asked.

"When you're a nasod, you easily have a radar installed in your brain." He replied; before two pistols materialized, as he grabbed the two weapons, and pointed it at us.

"Eeek!" Neige was surprised. I tried to keep my composure up, trying not to look scared, or anything.

"You there!" He looked over at me. "Drop your weapons, and put your hands up into the air." He commanded. So I did what he said, and dropped down on the ground, and putting my hands up in the air.

"Smart move..." He replied; as he was about to approached us, I focused all my energy into one of my hands, and pointed my hand at him.

"Trapping Chain!" I shouted, as magical chains appeared out of a portal I summoned, and home onto him.

"Thats..." He paused in astonishment; before he dodged it, barely missing my attack; dropping both his pistols, and at a distance. I took the opportunity to grab my blade, and land a preemptive strike on him. Only to see that he had retractable blades on his arm, as our two blades clashed.

"Who are you?! And how do you know that technique?!" He asked me.

"None of your business!" I replied; forcing all my strength into my sword. The man pushed me back, and jumped away from me. His collar then began to glow, and a helmet began to extend it from it. And his arm and legs began to open up a hatch, as I saw multiple grenades inside them; swinged his arms and legs, throwing the disk-looking grenades, as I tried to avoid it. I decided to counter him by focusing energy into my sword. A small flame ignite from it, and I began to charge at him.

Braving!

I said; rushing at him, while using my sword, as a flaming lance. The man then put both his elbows together, and the El shards embedded on his forearm began to glow; a shield then appeared, as soon as I was in contact with him. The immense magic from this spell was slowly draining my mana, his shield didn't even have a scratch. At this rate, I'll lose all my energy; so I stopped focusing magic, and retreated away from him. However, he quickly deactivated his shield, and tagged me with something, on my waist. It was...a bomb?! The bomb detonated before I could removed as my vision was filled with haze. I looked around in the gas trying to find the man, but was blinded by the gas.

"Focus Gale..." A soft voice said to me. I turned to the direction to the voice, and saw a glimpse of a woman with blue-hair and blue eyes, smiling at me.

"Mother...?" I said to myself before looking back at my sword; nodding my head. I slowly closed my eyes, and began to focus. Feeling mana circulating through my body, slowly an image popped from my head. It was a book that was imbued with a immense amount of Water El. I tried to grabbed the book from my head. As I felt the presence of the man behind me, about to stab me with his blade. Finally, I took grasp of the book, as the magic from him was being absorbed. As I felt something warm in my chest. In an instant I opened my eyes, and a large cold wind blew around me, and knocked the man back and blowing the gas away. Something was different about me, I looked at my reflection, and saw what happened to me. I had glowing blue hair with my fox ears popping out, and was down. My eyes were now the color of the blue-sky, and finally my sword was transformed, and was now a magic dagger filled with immensive magic. I turned to the man, as he said to himself silently.

"Mi...zu...ki?" He said with shock, and standed up readying himself again. Grasping his pistols, and began shooting at me. However, the bullets stopped and froze in an instant when it got close to me. Due to the cold air, surrounding me.

"Gale...?" Neige and Lune said astonished, as they continued to looked at me in awe, slowly walking towards the man. He continuously began to shoot his pistols, however they all ended up getting frozen and shattered. When I got close to him his legs were frozen and was unable to move. I helded up my sword up in the air.

"Deep Blue!" I shouted, as a huge snow cloud,surrounded all of Velder. People began shivering due to the drop of temperature. As snow fallen down. A cold-sharp lightning struck my sword, and both me and the man were inflicted with the stings of the attack. And in the process, knocking both of us out, and reverting back to my old self. With Neige and Lune catching me. The snow soon faded away, and the sun returned to warm the people of the Velder once more.

"You okay?" Negie asked worried, I nodded my head. Looking at the man who was knocked unconscious from the jolts of my last attack.

"Amazing..." Lune said in awe.

"Holy crap, what just happened?!" Jiro said in shock.

"I think this is my awakening..." I was exhausted, and could barely stand up. The man slowly woke up, and stood up slowly. He was badly injured, and looked at me.

"Tell me...just who are you, girl?" He looked serious, and sad at the same time. I looked at him with a concern look, before deciding to give him my name.

"My name is Gale...Gale Hanaruna." I answered him. His eyes grew, before he smiled. Slowly approaching us.

"Hanaruna...? Thats a name that I haven't heard a long time." He continued to speak, while slowly approaching us.

"The last people I knew...who had...those names were... Night and Mizuki Hanaruna..." He smiled at us. My eyes widen, and tears began flowing down my cheek.

"Wha? How do you know my parent's name?!" I demanded an answer from him.

"I see...so you must be there daughter." He finally said, before falling down unciousious. I dropped down towards him, and began shaking him trying to wake him up.

"Hey! Hey! Wake up!" I continuously shaken his body hoping to wake him up. How does this man know my Mother and Father? Who is he?!

"Quick! Who looks badly injured. We need to get help." Both Lune and Jiro grabbed the man by his shoulder. While Neige helped me up. As we headed towards an inn in Velder.

"Man time flies fast..." A man with hazel-eyes around the age of 18-19 scratched his head, dressed in a fancy wedding outfit.

"Yeah, and now here we are. Seeing you get married dude." A man with flame-imprint on his eyes said to him, smiling at him.

"Yeah, wish me luck." The hazel-eyed man was about walk away, until he stopped, and looked at him once more.

"...Can you do me a favor?" He asked.

"What is it?" The flame-eyed imprint man asked. Before the hazel-eyed one threw a green magatama at him.

"After that final battle, 'he' told me this. That a great evil would appear in this world once more, and plunge the world the evil again. In this future, i'll be dead, and won't be able to save Elrios like I did before...However, he told me that with every light that flickers out, a new light will be born from the darkness. I believe he meant that my child will save this precious world. Which is why, I'm giving you my magatama. When the time is right, give my chosen child the magatama. For the sake, of the future and generations to come." He requested. The other male who didn't believe this simply just nodded and smile.

"Very well, I'll keep this promise to you...Also, you better hurry. 'She's' waiting." The man pointed to the hazel-eyed males soon-to-be wife.

Leave a suggestion. Please :)
