Chapter 17: The Truth Of Origins
It was late. Darkness all around as the stars shined in the night sky. I was watching them, wondering what she was doing at that moment. I had tended to the boy. He was hurt pretty bad, but I did what little I could. Still, it was doughtful he'd survive the night. I sighed softly as the fire crackled like a gentle lullaby. I closed my eyes and began to wonder what horrors I'd face in the Manor, but I was interrupted by the boy as he stirred in his sleep. I looked down to see him staring at me with those cold eyes.
"I take it you won the fight...?" He asked weakly
"Yea, he won't bother anyone again..."
"I see..."
"Hey, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"What happened to me? Why do I look like this? Why do I feel this way?" He started to sit up, never taking his eyes off me.
"You were hurt. There wasn't much I could do to help, so I gave you enough of my soul to survive. But, now I'll die. It seems there isn't much else to do..." I looked into his eyes, confused.
"What are you saying?"
"Orius created this world for all his creatures to live and flourish. Sadly, corruption came about as man began it's domination. He began to lose his connection with humans and started to grow weak, so he asked us to come and repair what he had made. While most of us followed his wishes, a few fell to the corruption of the world. Now instead of repairing the bond between Orius and humans, he wants us to rid the world of corruption. Even he know this was impossible, but he only asked us to do as much as we could." I thought for a moment, trying to absorb and understand what he was saying.
"So this Orius guy made everything? I can believe that for now, but what does corruption have to do with him weakening? And why did he have to send you?" I asked.
"Good questions... He did not create the world by himself. His brother, Ubel, assisted him. But in the end Ubel wanted to control the creatures of the planet for his own doing. Orius wouldn't have that, so he banished Ubel from the stars to live amongst the humans until he learned that one cannot control another. But Ubel is fighting to return to his home in the heavens and is growing stronger by the day. Soon he will over throw Orius unless he is stopped."
"Ok, he couldn't do it himself cause he was dealing with Ubel, so he sent you in his place. So... what are you anyway?"
"I am an elemental being. As far as I know there are six of us."
"'As far as you know'? You mean you don't know how many there are?"
"Well, we are able to reproduce ourselves if we need to. But it requires an enormous amount of energy. I am still too young to reproduce properly, but the others should be able to. They usually take over a human body and use that as a host for the time. Unless the spirit is destroyed, they will come back." I gulped softly. That black mist that escaped from the man I fought must have been the spirit. I hoped I was wrong. The boy lied back down and closed his eyes, continuing his story. "There are six of us, one for each element. I am and the elemental being for water, yet I still do not know how to use my full potential. The others are Frieren the fire being, Foret the nature being, Heilig the holy being, Temhota the evil being, and one that I do not know of."
"So how old are you?" I said with a childish smile. He laughed softly and spoke even softer.
"I am only eighteen. I am a child really."
"Wait, that's not right. You said God sent you here long ago."
"He did, but my original body was damaged a few years ago, so I had to borrow this one till I can make my own."
"Oh..."
"..."
"...so, you gotta name?"
"I cannot remember what it is at the moment, but I think I remember my host's name. It is... Isaac, I think." I didn't remember that name at first, but then it hit me. Wasn't Crystal's friend named Isaac? I thought he died? At least that was the impression she was giving me. Was this the same guy? Either way, he would be dead soon. We talked a little while longer, then he went to sleep. I, on the other hand, stayed up a little longer to think about what I had learned. I finally went to sleep hours later. I needed my rest for the fight the next day.
When I woke up I headed north. Isaac was dead when I found him, so I felt that the time had come for the killing to end. Whoever I was going to fight in Shotenga Manor would be strong. But I would have to find a way to prevail over them if I wanted to protect her...
