"It all started this exact same day 6 years ago."
6 years ago.
I had just turned 15 that day and Umbra was a boy of only 11, honestly it shocked my sister when she discovered I was only 4 years older than my own nephew, but enough about that, I'll get right to where all this started, a several months before the day when Umbra had stumbled upon you home.
You see, my brother in law was a hunter by trade and my sister was his healer, they were one of the most famous couples, second only to the king and queen them selves, after all the Pentral family were well-known for their unique skills.
My brother in law his name is Boden and my sister is Luna, and do to him not being a member of our family originally and when Boden had discovered Umbra's existence he did everything he could to be a part of the boy's life, even so far as to beg on his hands and knees in front of ME to allow him to wed Luna, I agreed and gave him a pair of rings a ring of pure Ruby and a ring of pure Emerald, these two stones are our special symbols meant to show we wish to spend our lives with the person whom we share the other half with.
2 months went by and my sister couldn't be happier the man she loved had married her and was taken in by our family though he was not allowed to take part in certain traditions he could watch one in which I still remember, "Den Mitternacht Fasching" in this tradition there are 6 symbols one for the 5 totema and 1 for deamons.
WIth Umbra the symbol for deamons is the one that glowed meaning he would be intuned to... Never mind best let him say that part.
Any way skipping to the day all of this started, you see there was a job that Boden and Luna had to do, they had me and Umbra accompany them so we could have some knowledge over giant malboro, it was then that everything went down hill, the Malboro they were supposed to hunt had another creature with it a odd thing that looked human and yet was not at all, I don't know how to classify it really but it had wings and a tail like that of a dragons.
It was horrible I barely managed to get out of harms way but... Boden and Luna had stood fast to protect Umbra, Luna had casted a barrier of unmatched power on Umbra as he watched in horror trying to break it open and his Boden had began to impart all of his magic into one giant Ultima shot, it was strong enough to leave the creature with a severe wound that would have broken past even a judges suppieor power of protection.
But the Malboro's poison, it was starting to kill them the judge could not appear for you see this place was of cursed ground where law may never touch, a Jag, so Boden and Luna both, they had made a deal with the creature I could not hear what it was but it agreed and that thing used one of its claws to cut into its arm and walked over to Umbra when the shield desolved, he wasn't conscious at the moment and she had done something but her back had covered what was going on.
All I heard was her gasp and then sigh as she placed him down softly as if she were his own mother, I was torn, I was so terrified that I couldn't move yet I had to do something to help my sister... But I was too much of a coward, the creature snapped her fingers and that was it, the Malboro crushed my sister and Boden, they shared one last embrace, a lovers embrace as they were about to be crushed they both had mouthed to me.
They had said. "IT was alright and they forgive me." and my sister had mouthed one last thing. "I love you Fulgar, good-bye my dear brother." After that the rings they had, the very ones I made for my sister so she could be wed one day, were taken away shining in the moon light before that storm rolled in.
3 hours later I had run out of tears and watched as Umbra stumbled away carrying an odd orb and you all know the rest from there.
Present time.
Ritz's POV: We all sat there, with dead silence watching as Fulgar shed the smallest tears possible before his face took on an expression of utmost calm. "That is what happened all those years ago, and the Umbra still has night mares from it, I know because I have watched you all these past few months and seen how he acts at night, tell me, you there girl."
We all turn our attention to Nelly who straightens her back like she was in the army or something and about to be chewed out by the Drill Sergeant. "Y-Yes Fulgar?" He smirked upon seeing her reaction. "Tell me, does Umbra cry or show a different composure when in the presence of monster souls?"
SHe tilted her head as if in thought and I could have sworn I felt all the thoughts go through her mind before she nodded. "That is one prospect of the Daemon symbol, he has a bit of the power of monsters running through him."
I was shocked to hear that. "Wait so are you saying he's pretty much a monster tamer!?" He shook his head negatively. "He can only use some of their power my dear, it's not blue magic skills that allowed him to do so since he has never encountered a panther or coural and yet still had poison claw and haste breaker, it is his own innate powers, after all if her were shot by a curse of miasma by a vampire he would be able to use that."
I could tell we were all shocked by what had just been told to us and even more so when Umbra opened his eyes and looked at Fulgar with a smile. "Hello onkel." Fulgar smiled at him in a true way before helping Umbra sit up straight and he frowned.
"You told them all, didn't you onkel." Fulgar nodded and Umbra looked at Nelly before he reached up and let his fingers touch his ear-ring which is made of emerald, and Nelly's eyes widened as she fingered her Ruby ear ring. "Modo et aeternum, ego voluntas affectus vos Nelly." She blushed at what ever he had said it was a different language but I could tell what he had said must have been heart warming sence Leona and Shara both made faces that could only be described as the "Awe" face.
"Any way's, that Viera girl is trying to pick the lock so you may want to stop her." We all sweat dropped except Umbra who looked down a frown and put back on his coat to hide the bandages again. "Oh please wait, let Marsha come in here, there is something I would like to personally talk to her about and don't worry, I'll have my rapier with me this time."
So after we all left we let Marsha in but made a rule that she had to leave the door open and allow Umbra to keep his rapier next to him at ALL times with that I stood in the lobby to find it almost completely bare and Shara was gone leaving only a single note. Be back soon.
Marche's POV: Me and a couple of the other were standing on the bank of the River waiting for this odd thing people were talking about. "So what does this thing even look like?" Montblanc shrugged and Olint started to try to whistle but couldn't and Aksel... well... He was currently banging his head on a tree do to a comment that made Olint win an argument that Aksel had pulled him into.
Then an odd black space happened and I turned around the others didn't seem to notice it and it shut. "What was that!?" They all stared at me in confusion as it happened but came out larger this time nearly touching the water. "Is this the rift!?"
As it opened one last time pulling us in I froze Shara had just ran into the clearing and got caught into it, I ran as fast as I could and grabbed her hands which were still sticking out along with her head but as I struggled we were both pulled in and the world went dark as the worried voice of some one calling my name grew faint then depth to my ears.
I came to shortly after to a feeling of something pressed against me and looked around I was in a odd temple like place and there was light coming from my right and I looked to see the feeling was actually Shara was on top of me but she was out cold, I started to shake her a little to try and wake her and when that didn't work I got up and thankful for the fact no one was there to see it I placed my ear down on her chest even if my face burned because of it.
After a while I sighed in relief, her heart beat was still there and she was breathing, I just had to wake her up some how so I picked her up so she would be on my back in a piggy back style struggling slightly since I wasn't used to carrying people on my back, I walked in the direction that weird blue light was coming from and prepared for what it could be, after a while what seemed like almost an hour I felt Shara stir and stopped walking. "Are you okay Shara?"
She looked down at me with a happy smile. "Yes, I'm okay, just a little light headed, where are we?" I shrugged and continued to walk after about 30 minutes she had started to walk next to me since her legs had regained their feelings and there we saw it, a large crystal that was easily 10 of me standing side by side and 4 of me stacked on top each other.
"Shara, what is this... Is this the world thread?" That was when I large being walked out of the crystal staring us down with a over powering presence.
