Chapter 6 - The revelation (I)
-Saga resumes in a place where light cannot cast upon. There are ruined buildings and towers. Skull piles are commonly seen on the ground. Spine-chilling gust blows across the barren land. A huge cliff on the edge of the highland that leads to bottomless abyss-
#A tall, muscular figure with dark cape, grayish hair stands in front of the cliff. Next to the muscular figure is another figure that is completely covered in shadow. The two look at the vast emptiness and one is about to speak#
Tall figure: It seems that you have failed.
Voice from behind: There is unexpected intervention.
Tall figure: Unexpected?
Voice from behind: Yes...It was on the edge of success until...
Tall figure: I don't want to hear excuses. A failure is a failure. I am wondering if I should replace you.
Voice from behind: Please don't, your highness. It was just my first mission...
Tall figure: Well, you will need to show me some result then, Gale Azanheart.
#The voice from behind is revealed to be Gale Azanheart. He is a young-looking mage who carries a "book of knowledge" all the time. He has pale green hair and a pair of green eye. He looks handsome to the point where you think he is actually a "she".#
Gale: Next time I will prove myself to be worthy!
Tall figure: I will take your word for now. You are not needed in here anymore. You can leave now.
Gale: But...
Tall figure: I will summon you if you are needed again, now get lost before I gets impatient!
Gale: As you wish...
#Gale exits#
Tall figure: What do you think shadow?
Shadow: What do you mean?
Tall figure: Should I even waste my time with him?
Shadow: But don't you know it yourself?
Tall figure: I want your opinion.
Shadow: He certainly has talents. He can certainly do better, but his skills are still immature.
Tall figure: Your eyes are as keen as mine, shadow. -thinks for a period- In that case...I need you to come here. Sherry Noire.
#At an instant moment, a female with long black hair, deep-dark eyes and emotionless appeared behind the Tall figure#
Sherry: Yes, your highness?
Tall figure: It's your turn.
-Fade-
-Saga resumes in the wilderness with Angiro and Yuufa still joking with each other, the sun is about to set-
Angiro: It's getting late. I hope there are no wolves around.
Yuufa: Hmph.
Angiro: It may be out best interest to look for a place to rest up. I am sure you don't want to sleep on rocks.
Yuufa: I think so...
Voice from above: It looks like you have nowhere to go.
Angiro,Yuufa(look up, alert): Who?
Voice from above: Forget me so soon?
#Someone jumps down from the tree#
Angiro: It's you!
CardMaster: I am not "you". I am known as CardMaster.
Angiro: Why are you spreading lies?
CardMaster: Are you still in denial?
Angiro: I am not denying anything!
CardMaster: If not, then why do you question me?
Angiro: The reason why I am out here is partially because of you.
CardMaster: I was just trying to be helpful.
Angiro: I don't see how helpful you are.
CardMaster: Consider this. You have no place to rest tonight, that's for sure. It will take about another day until you can reach Izlude. So why don't you come up in my tree house and spend the night up there?
Angiro: Why should we trust you?
CardMaster: You can choose not to.
#A wolf cry resonates from nowhere#
Yuufa: I think... this person doesn't seem so bad at all.
Angiro: Looks can be deceiving.
Yuufa: I know but, my 6th sense tells me he is not a bad person.
Angiro: 6th sense...
CardMaster: So would you rather get eaten by wolves during your sleep in the wild, or -jumps up to the tree house- come up here?
Angiro: Looks like we have no choice.
#Angiro and Yuufa slowly climbs up to the tree house. There are hardly anything inside the tree house but some leaves, tree trunks and a lamp. Surprisingly it is big enough to hold three people.#
Angiro: I want you to tell me one thing.
CardMaster?
Angiro: Why did you say I am a demon?
Yuufa: -gasp- You are?
Angiro: Of course not!
CardMaster: What if I tell you. It is an inevitable fact that you are born as a demon?
Angiro: I will NOT believe it.
CardMaster: Why?
Angiro: Because I am not.
CardMaster: If I am correct, you don't even know who your parents are, right?
Angiro: ...
CardMaster: If you don't, then how can you be so hasty and judge that what I say is a lie?
Angiro: It simply is!
CardMaster: Young man. You may not know who you really are, but I know you more than you do.
Angiro: Prove it.
CardMaster: You are adopted by the High Priest. He found you in a stone cave, you were raised to be a priest when you were fourteen.
Angiro: How...High Priest must have told you all these.
CardMaster: In fact I knew you are not the High Priest's son before he started to tell me about you.
Angiro: Then how...?
CardMaster: I told you. I know you more than you do.
Yuufa: Angiro...maybe you should believe him?
Angiro: Ok so if I am a demon, why do I look normal?
CardMaster: You are special.
Angiro: Special?
CardMaster: You have a destiny to fulfill… A destiny that no one else can bare.
Angiro: Can you stop saying things in riddle?
CardMaster: I can tell you. But are you sure you are prepared to accept such reality?
Angiro: I am prepared. I have wanted to know more about myself for all these years.
CardMaster: Then I shall tell you.
-Fade-
It is pretty safe to say that evil has returned. What are they going to do? What is Angiro's destiny? I am sure you want to find out, well, stay tuned for the next chapter!
