"Are you talking about inevitability again? Is that why you're so certain we will find the answer?" Kamui demanded.
Eriol let out a loud sigh and raised his hands towards the night sky dramatically. "Why does everyone speak of inevitability! Who decides what's inevitable!"
"Inevitability comes from the law of consequences; they're not decided by one person," said Fuuma. "Set in stone, it's one of the pillars of reality that cannot be changed."
Eriol peered at Fuuma through narrowed eyes. "You mean the same way laws that state the dead cannot live again?" he carefully asked, lowering his arms. Before Fuuma could answer that question, he held up a hand, and interrupted him, "You're wrong, though; the dead do live once more, and the laws of reality can be bend by a single person's wish."
"It's wrong," said Kamui. "It's taboo."
"Of course you would say that," Eriol rolled his eyes towards the sky, "I guess the role of 'the one who represents the authority of God' is imprinted into your soul," Kamui frowned at those words, but Eriol was already continuing, chuckling all the way, "but that only makes your decision to grant his wish-" his gaze strayed towards Fuuma, "-all the more ironic."
Fuuma's expression pinched. "My wish?" he reiterated.
Eriol nodded slyly. "Yes, your wish; the one that breaks all laws of reality. But then again, it fits you, hunter. All those fools go on and on about inevitability... but I have great faith that you'll surpass your destiny, Fuuma."
Suddenly the ground began to shake again.
"Ah, that's my cue to leave," said Eriol. He held up his forefinger. "One last thing; this concerns the items you must retrieve in this world for the Dimensional Witch, hunter. You must collect them from 'the one who represents the authority of God being favored by God his will and power to protect the world' and 'the one who hunts the authority of God being favored by God his will and power to destroy the world'."
Another shake from the ground as buildings crumbled around them. Eriol frowned. "You two should go as well, these earthquakes are rather dangerous." He waved once. "Goodbye, Kamui." He waved again. "And goodbye, Kamui." And then he ran off and disappeared behind a collapsing wall.
Kamui turned to give Fuuma a hard look. "All those things he said-" he began, but Fuuma interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
"No, I don't understand what it all meant," Fuuma answered the unspoken question. "I know he's hinting at things, but the message is too cryptic for me to figure out." He clenched his fist, then took hold of Kamui's hand and pulled him along again. "But one thing I did get;" he said as they fled the earthquake disaster together, "he said to me that one of the items I had to retrieve comes from 'the one who represents the authority of God being favored by God his will and power to protect the world';" he gave the vampire a sideways glance, "and he said to you: the role of 'the one who represents the authority of God' is imprinted into your soul."
Kamui's eyes widened as understanding dawned on him.
"There are people in different worlds who may share the same soul. One of the items that must be retrieved has to be with the Kamui from this world."
