Telepathy

Finral laid in bed that night, exhausted, but not wanting to fall asleep, afraid that when he woke he would find himself in his room at House Vaude.

The room he found was a bit smaller then his room at House Vaude. He new his parents would complain about the size but he didn't care because he liked it and they weren't there to complain. It had only been a few hours sense Ledior and Langris went home but not having his father and mother around seemed to take a lot of stress off of him. He hated it in away because he cared very much about his family, even though they never seemed to care about him.

I need to stop them.

"Who's there?!" Finral said jumping out of bed, frantically looking around the room.

Wait... You can hear me?

"Of course I can! Who are you and where are you?!"

I-I'm Fatry.

"Fa... try..." Finral said sitting on the edge of the bed. You're... We can talk now... But how?

I don't know... I don't even know how I'm alive... well, sort of alive...

You said something about needing to stop someone... May I ask who? And why?

Well... I don't really know who for sure. I'm only guessing it's my cousin, Patry.

"Wait... You have a younger brother named Latry, a cousin named Patry, and your name is Fatry."

Yeah.

"I guess I shouldn't be questioning it, considering my father's name is Ledior, my little brother's name is Langris, and my stepmother's name is Liliane."

And your's is Finral, right?

"Yeah. How'd you know?" Finral asked laying back in bed.

We switched places a couple times while you were asleep. The first time it happened some lady asked you if everything was okay from outside your room and she said you're name.

"That was probably Kathryn. One of my family's maids. She's really nice and she worried about me a lot."

I could tell. I was so scared she would come in and see you looking like me.

"What do you mean?"

I'll explain later. I was wondering if you could help me with something. But before you say you will, I need to explain somethings to you.

"Okay."

Fatry told Finral all about the Elves and the first Wizard King and how close his cousin was to the leader of the Elves, Licht. He told him how for some reason after he died he was stuck in the Elves Village and saw everything that happened for a whole year after he died. How he was forced to watch every last one of his friends and family die. And most worst of all, how the whole thing was planned by a Devil, who cast a forbidden reincarnation spell after his plane was foiled by the a Wizard King, Licht, and a girl named Secre. And how Patry saw Licht cast the forbidden magic that turned him into a demon just before he died but didn't see it turn him into the demon.

"Wow... that's a lot to take in... So the nightmares I've been having really where you're memories."

Yeah. I'm really sorry you had to see all that.

"Don't be. It's not your fault."

Now that I told you all this... Will you help me?

"How can I? I'm weak. My parents think my mana level is really strong commoner at best, despite being a noble."

That's what I've always been told, Fatry chuckled. Only instead of commoner it was really strong human royal at best. But don't let it get to you. I know you'll be a big help. I need to figure out who all has been reincarnated, if I'm right about Patry, and why I was when I was dead a year before.

"If I were to take a guess, maybe it's because your spirit was still there at the time the Devil casted the spell."

Maybe. It makes sense, but I still want to do some research on it.

"Well, Captain Yami wants to take me some places tomorrow but we might be able to do some research after words."

Captain?

"Yeah. I joined the Magic Knights today."

Congratulations. But didn't you just say you were weak?

"I am. The only thing I can do is transport people. I had my grimoire for six months and I still only have the spell that was in it when I got it."

That's about the only thing I can do too. But I had fun with it. And it makes good support magic.

"Me, a support mage? I don't know... Even support mages can defend themselves, if they have to. I'd only get in the way."

I don't think so. It's getting late. You should get some sleep.

"Don't you mean 'we'."

Yeah, Fatry chuckled. If we don't switch again.
