Me: in manga, anime, and novels maybe. We all don't know much about the past but now let us see to this.


The first meeting:

3rd POV

a forest glade somewhere near the mountains, A young five year old Louise ran across the opening from the trees. Wolves howl and owls hoot as she ran in fear. Many of the sounds that she's hearing are scarring her to no end. After all that running an owls hoot was all it takes for Louise to trip.

"Waaaaaaaaahhhh! Where is every one!? MAMA! PAPA! WHERE ARE YOU!?" young Louise shouted crying, she was being a bit naughty and got into the forest alone. It was one of her father's hunting trips and she tagged along just to be with him, little did she know that she got herself in this she cried and stood there she started to hear some rustling.

"Who's there?" She shouted in fright. The bush continued to rustle and it gets more intense scarring poor Louise.

"Don't eat me please!" Louise continued getting more frightened by the second. About a second after her outburst a deer popped out of the bushes, Louise yelped in surprise to see the animal just popped out like that. As it turned its head to Louise it ran away from her. As the deer disappeared into the woods Louise cried out in both fear and anger as she couldn't deal with this any longer.

"I can't take it anymore. Someone please help!" Louise cried. Her crying continued till she heard a voice coming from the same direction the deer appeared.

"[Who's crying]?" the voice called. Louise was too scared to reply, but the owner soon walked out of the bushes. Louise had no time to assess the boy so she just whimpered in fear.

"Are you ok?" the boy asked.

"I'm lost." Louise answered in a soft yet frightened voice.

"Don't worry you'll be alright. I'll help you find your family." The boy proclaimed. As he help louise up she saw that the boy has jet black hair and dark black colored eyes. His cloths were simply designed and were a navy blue color all held together by some sort of sash around his waist his eyes were gentle yet goofy at the same time, for some reason she wants to smile with him. With that the two went to find her family. Little did Louise know, this would change her life for the better later on in life. After an hour of walking Louise felt tired so the two decided to sleep at a nearby tree and rest for the night. The next morning the sun shone through the trees. The boy known as Saito woke up first from the rays of the sun shining on his face. Louise woke up an hour later but the two soon continued walking. After thirty minutes of walking they stopped by a nearby stream of clear water flowing over mossy rocks. Saito Shared his Onigiri he had on him for a light breakfast, Louise had rice before but as a risotto. She never have rice just steamed or boiled as it is without any form of stock or seasoning. The taste was simple but the acidity and sweetness of the pickled plum was delicious in Louise's mind but it was different from her favorite cookberry pie that she loved.

"Have always eaten these?" Louise asked.

"Many times." Saito answered.

"It's good." Loise added

"Let's follow the creek, may take us to a river." Saito said observantly.

"You are really smart." Louise said impressed.

"My dad always tells me that mountains make streams, and streams turn into creeks which turn into rivers." Saito explained after taking a drink from the stream. The two kids start to follow the stream knowing that it may lead then to the nearest town. An hour later they walked in to a huge glade that was filled with flowers of all sorts. The two kids looked on in amazement and their exitment took them over, then the two children started playing in the flowers. They were running , laughing and shouting with joy as they played through the fields. As they played through the flowers little did they know that they've just made friends with each other. When night falls they had almost completely forgot on what they were doing because they were having so much fun running and playing. Louuise and saito were eating 3 hunger balls Hyorogan, suikatsugan, and kikatsugan. Saito always kept a few of these incase he needs a snack.

"you know flowers are really delicate from what my daddy told me." Saito said suddenly

"Why?" Louise asked.

"Well he said that beauty is like a flower, it stars of as a silly plant but it'll be at its peak beauty once it blooms, after some time it'll loose its beauty over time as its pedals fall." Saito explained. Louise sat their surprised and noticed that Saito was right. The flowers were beautifull but they won't last long. Then she remembers something. She pulled two necklaces from her small bag that she had been carrying on her. As she placed the pink one around her neck she decided give the blue one to Saito.

"Here!" a young Louise said placing a blue flower pendant in the hands of Saito.

"what's this?" Saito asked curiously.

"A way to remember me silly!" Louise smiled.

"OK… when we meet again I'll be your warrior!" Saito declared with pride.

"That's a promise." Louise giggled raising her pinky. The boy happily took it and made the vow.

"we'll always be friends." Saito said.

"eh heh! Thank you!" Louise giggled happily. Little did they both know the two pendants glow as it recognizes the bond the two have just forged. For three days the children played in the flower fields, it was only in the middle of the fourth day the two decided to continue walking by following the stream. It wasn't long till they see the village where Louise and her father arrived for his hunting days. As they stood on the rock Louise was really happy to learn that she would see her family again. That evening by the creak Saito caught some trout to eat for the both of them. He skewered them on a few sturdy sticks he found on the ground as they talked among each other about their lives.

"My family is really worried for me on this trip. I know that this is only for a short amount of time but the man who normaly goes with us just got himself lost. I bet my Family are going to sue him or something." Saito said with a wry smile. Louise looked down wondering if they would ever leave eachother.

"If were ever get separated, I wonder if you remember me after this?" Louise said with a sad look on her face.

"don't worry, with this I'll always remember you." young saito told louise. Saito and louise were sitting around a fire as

"Really?" the girl asked.

"Of course, I told you that I'll be your warrior when we grow up right!" Saito said with pride.

"Eh heh, Sure!" the girl smiled.

"Now come on, we still need to eat. These fish won't eat themselves." Saito told the girl.

"You're right!" the girl took one fish and they both started the girl took a bite she smile happily.

"Wow it's so good!" the girl smiled happily.

"I know right! My people always know how to make good tasting fish." Young saito said with pride. The next morning the two kids arrived near a clearing where they found a clearing near the village, there they decided to set up camp and wait for the adults to come and search for them. it wasn't long till they were found a few days later.

Louise and Saito are walking through the woods that night, for over a week they were in the woods together since they've met, surviving on the hyorogan and of course the wild vegetables and game around them. They bonded through their will to survive, there were time when Louise just wanted to give up but Saito helped her allot. They continued their walk till they hear a faint shouting.

"LOUISE!" a voice called.

"That's my father! We're saved" Louise said with glee. The boy looked at Louise with a smile, happy to have helped her find her family.

"Come on we'll be free!" Louise said as she ran trying to pull the boy with her. Saito however didn't move and his hand slid from Louise. Louise went only a few feet till she noticed he's not moving. She looked at her friend in confusion.

"Why aren't you coming?" Louise asked

"I'm afraid I have to stay here for now." Saito answered.

"Why?" Louise asked surprised.

"My family will pick me up at a location not far from here, it's all part of training I'm taking part of." Saito answered.

"You mean you won't come? But I want to be with you more, I don't want to forget you!" Louise said with a hint of sadness. saito walked up to her and hugged her tightly.

"Don't worry, I won't forget you." Saito said holding his pendant. "With this we'll always be together."

"You silly!" Louise cried, she's happy to hear that but she was sad to say goodbye. As the two departed Louise ran to the voice of her father. As soon as they both saw each other they ran towards each other and hugged like there was no tomorrow. Louise cried as she was happy to be back in her father's arms, but she was also sad to have said good bye to her new friend. And because of that every night she would look at the moon wondering is the boy was safe.

That Night Saito walked back to the ridge where he found his group. They were happy to see that he was alive and well. As he and his group went back home, Saito made a resolve to see Louise again someday. With a new set of goals in mind he found his talent in battle, and will stive to become a true warrior in his own right.

Many years later the two kids would grow to become respectable in their profession. And at the age of twelve Saito set out to become a fully-fledged Samurai. That day before he joined his new teacher and master he looked back to his family. His older sister smiling at him waving goodbye while his mother was crying seeing her son grown up to become a man while his father just stood their proud yet sad. The two parents were highly against it at first. But it was Saito's father who realizes Saito's resolve and eventually gave him his blessing, it took Saito's mother some convincing but she reluctantly agreed.

Louise was ten years old when she joined the magic academy. The head master old Osmond was a well-known mage in the Tristian kingdom and the Valliere family sent Louise there to become a worth mage and noble, though Eleonore wishes for Louise to find a Suitable Suitor for Louise. Times will be tough for Louise but she will definitely try her best. Louise wasn't the best student in terms of Academics but she was shown to have the most magic power than anyone combined.

When Saito turned sixteen he was already a fully-fleged Samurai. As he was kneeling in the armorers shop looking at his armor. It was simple, black in coloration, looking Similar to that of an Ashigaru but with added protection in both the right shoulder and the arms and legs. Instead of a helmet he went for a Hachigane. His mempo was black and demonic looking with only small fangs on the mouth making it simple yet terrifying to see. It also came with a detachable cloak which he specifically ordered for stealth and utilitarian capabilities.

'with this I'll hold my duty. As a warrior I would defend all who I hold dear to my heart.' Saito vowed looking at his armor with pride. He swore that he would only wear this when the time has come for him to get serious.

Louise at the same age was being knighted to chevalier by Queen Henrrietta, Louise was proud of herself gaining this achievement the road was rocky for her but at least she had made it so far. Her parents were proud of her but she knew that they were still worried for her. she was even given the title of court mage. As she looked was being knighted she was very proud of her achievement.

'I'm happy that I got this title, the road was a hard one but I'll continue to improve on my magic.' She thought. The road was still a bumpy one but she hopes that she will make it through. That night after her knighting ceremony she was looking up from the balcony. She had almost everything she would have wanted. A respectable title, a future as a court mage, and the respect of her peers. However she is missing something, and that was Saito himself. They have only been together for a brief time but she was already wishing for him to be here. Though the two have nearly forgotten about each other, their pendants keeps on reminding them that they were meant for one another, and the bond was never severed.

Saito was standing near a shrine looking at the moon and stars. He has learned allot about it and he started to have visions. Le looked to the stars for any sign but they all say the same thing. Was is coming.

"Still worried about that dream partner?" derflinger asked

"I don't think it's a dream… it felt to real for it to be one." Saito said unconvinced.

"We'll soon see about that later now won't we?" Derflinger continued.

"Any way lets head back. It's already late as it is." Saito said changing the subject.

"Good point, let's go." With that the two partners went back to Shiroyama castle.

"You know I think that it's best to make some preparations don't you agree?" saito asked.

"You mean sending in spies? Better to be safe than sorry." Derflinger said agreeing to Saitos plan. Saito knew that a possible war is coming. But what he doesn't know is that this war will not only reunite the two but open relations between two different worlds. And open an new front for everyone.


Me: so what do you think you two?

Louise: a little cringey in my opinion but then again we were kids in this on so it's alright.

Saito: I see you've reused a few things from the original story. The flash backs.

Me: well I had to but I've already placed it into the story since this is a set of stories.

Saito: Fair enough.

Me: which one shall we do next?

Louise: let's give Colbert a try!

Saito: yeah and after that let's give Malincorne a go. You got him training with sumo wrestlers so I would love to see how he fairs.

Louise: wait we can't let her majesty out of it. I would like to know how she was doing during our stay at Shiroyama castle

Me already planning ahead huh? Alright next chapter will be all about Colbert and the others will be coming up. We'll start with Colbert sensei then we'll do Queen Henrietta and Malincorne will be last. But there are still more to come so please be patient.
