Gabriel wandered the village for a while, and then decided to venture outside for a little bit of peace and quiet. The whole village was buzzing about how he was this god forsaken Warrior. He'd been barraged with so many questions that he had been tempted to destroy the whole village just to make it stop.
Gabriel rubbed his forehead gently as he stood alone on the plains. //Great. Now I have a splitting headache. What else could go wrong today.// He groaned as a trio of monsters approached him. He frowned as he took a defensive stance. "Well? Come on!" Gabriel growled at the monsters facing him.
"They won't attack, Gabriel." The voice that came from behind Gabriel took him by surprise. He whirled around to stare at a young silver haired and red winged man. "Do you know me?"
Gabriel shook his head. "No. Who are you?" He took a step away from the man instinctively.
"I was afraid of that. You've lost your memory, but not your ability to access your heraldry. Dangerous combination if you ask me." The silver haired man took a step toward Gabriel. "I am Lucifer Cyril. Does that ring a bell?"
Again, Gabriel shook his head. "I don't know you. Leave me alone!" He brought his hands up and began to speak softly.
Lucifer frowned as he recognised the incantation. He immediately brought his own hands up and began to speak.
It was all a matter of who was faster. As it would happen, both finished at the same time.
"Star Flare!"
"Wind of Destruction!"
Both Gabriel and Lucifer were thrown back from the merged spells. They stared at one another for a moment from their positions on the ground. Lucifer was the first to struggle to his feet.
"I pray you remember yourself soon, brother. If you don't, we'll have to destroy you as well." Lucifer disappeared from sight as Gabriel stood up.
//What did he mean by that? Remember myself? Who am I?// Gabriel was so lost in thought that he barely noticed the carriage that was headed his way. He came to his senses mere seconds before he would have been hit. He leapt out of the way, hitting the ground for a second time. He cried out as he felt his arm break. He was already hurting from that damned spell. //It should have killed me. I'm certain of that.//
Gabriel lie there on the ground and closed his eyes. His breathing steadied out and he felt himself warm up. The pain in his arm lessened and finally vanished completely. He stood up and started back toward Arlia.
Upon arriving, Gabriel was pulled to the side by Regis. "I pray you can help. Rena has been kidnapped from Arlia."
"What? By whom?" Gabriel's emerald eyes flashed dangerously at the news.
"His name is Alen. I don't believe he's quite himself. He's from the town of Salva." Regis took hold of Gabriel's sleeve and led him away from the villagers.
Gabriel didn't question the mayor as he was led through to the mayor's home. He entered the house when asked.
"Take this sword with you. It may be useful. If what Rena said is true, then you have skill with the weapon." Regis held it out to Gabriel.
Gabriel shook his head. "No. I don't have enough skill with a sword to use it repeatedly. I do have a spell to create a sword, yes, but I don't use it unless I have no other choice." He frowned as the sword remained outstretched. "I'll go to Salva and find Rena. You have my word." He turned and walked out.
