The long war – Chapter 3
Henrietta had read Karine, the heavy wind, letter about her Louise desire to leave the academy, along with her own letter which clearly spelled out should she, Henrietta, fail to convince Louise to stay at the academy. She will be paying a personal visit to the academy and it will be painful. The heavy wind reaction didn't surprise her at all.
As for Louise letter it surprised her as it was an event she thought would never happened but the facts were before her. She'd read the letter many times and each time with care making sure that she didn't misread a word yet at the end of each reading, she still couldn't believe the letter content.
The letter was to the point, informing her mother that she plan to leave the academy soon and that Eleonora, her elder sister, was right. They were both well aware of what was left unsaid, the fate of these nobles with no magical ability at all. She felts the bitterness and the despair of each words within the letter reminding her of her political goals and the injustices of the current system.
She'd always been aware of the fact that Louise wasn't capable of using magic at all, after all, they were childhood friends and friends today, even if they haven't seen ever other in years. She understood, that this was the one reason that Louise elder sister didn't want to let her to go to the academy because she knew the fate which awaited these of noble blood with little to no magic ability, they were often treated little better then commoners if not worst.
Yet Louise was always head strong, she remembered, thinking of the past, when they were still children and innocent of the world outside. It was thanks to this single aspect of her, that she was the person she was today. It was thanks to Louise that she'd had the drive and motivation to change her country, to ensure that the commoners had more impact on the country politics. And considering recent events in Albion, she'd seen the end product should the status quo not change her country would be doomed to the same fate whether some time during her lifetime or during her children or grand-children rule and that could not be allowed.
The nobles and her mother may not be able to see it but each year she saw that the treatment of commoners were only getting worst. Thus she didn't like it as it would only lead to...no she didn't want to think about it, she thought, forcing her mind from thinking about it further. With a deep breath, her mind moved on. So she had to change things now or else. That was why she'd taken advantage of her mother sorrow and passed a number of extreme laws that would change the status quo before it was too late.
She sighed, looking at the letter in her hands with a smile on her face, the courage, the bravery, the energy, no everything that she had been able to achieve. It was all thanks to Louise and her head strong drive to prove that she wasn't Louise the zero and so she had a debt to pay back but this wasn't the only reason for her surprise visit.
The other reason was because of the letter Colbert informing her of the events concerning the summoning of Louise familiar and so she had sent two letters one for the headmaster and the other letter to Colbert for a update on Louise familiar and if he was awake yet. She planed to have a personally talk with the familiar face to face, she thought, before walking to the window and looking out at her people and the city of Tristain.
She was happy that Louise had been able to summon a familiar during the tradition summoning ritual for second years at the academy but the unexpected vile present at the summoning had left her feeling disquieted and unease. She was unaware of any magical monsters capable of projecting such vile presents here at the human controlled lands but then that could possible mean that the familiar was from beyond the holy land.
The holy land, she repeated the words in her mind, could this mean that the elf's were at war with someone else? possible people who could control such monsters? if so then that wasn't good news for her country. She filed the thought for later, as she need more information before she could make her decision.
sighing, she wander, why couldn't life be simply? Like back when she was still a child? She asked the wind wishing that he was still with her, now. But she knew better yet it did not stop the sad smile cross her face.
The familiar stirred for the first time into a new world and open his eyes to see a unknown women sitting on a table doing something, she'd didn't seem to notices that he'd wake but that was fine with him for now.
He'd didn't feel like himself, he thought, as he rested his head on the bed again. He felt light headed and very tired and wearily. He didn't know what planet he was on but at least it was in human control, he thought, taking note of the unknown women at a table clearly asleep.
He didn't know where he was and he could ask her for information but he didn't feel like it because he was just happy that the wrap portal hadn't lead him into somewhere worst. He closed his eyes and said a prayer to the emperor and then opened his eyes only to stare at the stone roof trying to remember how he'd gotten here to this world since the only thing he remember was jumping through the portal but before that not a lot. So he thought, maybe it was best to start from the beginning, in the hope maybe he'll remember how he got here.
He was part of the Lorem III campaign to reclaim the agriculture planet from chaos, it seem that the planet PDF was caught by surprise and crushed within days. The chaos forces were nothing then a raiding force, according to the briefing. The Imperial fleet quickly brushed aside the chaos ships in orbit, once they arrived only a month afterwards, the quick win allowing the regiment to land, along with the other regiments with the fleet. They landed ready to fight the enemy only to find none, no enemy, no citizen, no sighs of life, and no AA or anti-ship fire from the enemy.
He'd quickly moved his regiment into position and too take control of the city, that was nothing more then a town or small settlement compared to cities on other imperial planets. The regiment moved into the city, supported by the regiment tanks, only to find nothing but dismembered bodies and crazed blood painting throughout the city, the sight didn't bring any comfort to him nor his men.
The next three weeks was spent carefully searching every inch of the city, along with the other regiment stationed around the planet but no one found the enemy. He'd set up HQ and stationed his man around the city at varies strong points throughout the city with the arrangement desighed to keep the enemy out of the city, it was a mistake prove by later events. While the higher ups spent the time considering what to do, he ordered his men to take turn in rotation between duty and some time off to relax for the first time in a while.
In the end, it was decide by command they were to clean the mass left behind by the great enemy with fire and so parts of building or sometime whole buildings were burnt to the ground. But while this was going on ground side, command or the space marines or someone whoever he or she decided to that the space marines wasn't needed anymore and thus they were redirected to other battlefields, where they were need. As for everyone else, it was decide they were to wait until the inquisition fleet arrived to check the planet and make sure that the chaos taint was removed completely.
But the space marines leaving proved to be the sigh for the enemy to begin the attack and so within days of the space marines leaving the enemy made their present felt when they attacked the regiment during the night with everything they had. Thinking back on it, he should have seen it then and there, after all, it was chaos but he hadn't. He only learnt of the attack when he was about to head to sleep, for the night when explosion engulf the city. All thought of sleep left him at that moment as he graped his lasgun and rushed out the door, heading for the regiment HQ downstairs.
He didn't remember a lot from that night, as it was filled with a blur of activity as he attempted to find and gather his regiment together in the maze known as the battlefield and consolidate them. By morning he'd lost control of most of the city, while most of the city was leveled or on fire, his artillery gone, a few tanks left, and what little remained of the regiment arranged around HQ.
It was his fault that they had die, he cursed his own folly at not considering such a possible. Dam it, he thought, as he felt his anger raising. DAM FUCKING, DAM THE ENEMY, DAM THE THEM ALL, DAM THE EMPEROR ENEMY, DAM THEM ALL. He cursed as the faces of his men flashed through his mind, some he didn't know, some he knew by sight, some by name only, and other because they were friends but all these faces had two things in common. Death had taken them to the emperor side and they all belonged to the 240th Iron Wolf.
The thought remind him of his uncle advice, a good commander always learns from his mistake only a foolish one didn't. So he learnt from his mistake, even if it was a bitter lesson and it was never to judge a book by it's cover especially on the battlefield, he thought, as he got his temper under control again. Yet even with his temper under control, it didn't lighten the burden on his soul, it was his fault that the regiment was nothing more then a memory.
That said, his mind returned to the past, as it remembered how he got here. He remembered finally discovering the enemy true objective and gathering what remain of the regiment and finally the attack deep underground into the remains of an ancient city. The attack soon turned into a mass as his men were catch between two chaos arms fighting each other which only lead to his discovery that the overall situation was only getting worst. The fleet was no more, in it place was a chaos fleet that were deploying troops to the ground attacking guardsman and there own side...
...wait..wait wait wait, he suddenly he short up, with a sudden blast of energy, only to come crushing down as his whole body howled in pain and blood escaped from under his wounds. He fought his desire to scram at the top of his lungs, in an attempt to ease his pain but failed as a soft painful grunt escape his mouth. The pain was nothing compared to any of his past battlefields injures but pain was still pain, he held it in, not allowing another grunt or words or scream to leave his lips. But thankfully, it didn't last long as the abyss known as sleep claimed him for the day.
Siesta didn't move a inch until one of the cooks for the kitchen found her outside the back, the kitchen suppliers were brought in. She was still passed out, cold. The cooks was nothing more then a assistant to the chief, he was here at the academy to learn from the best within easy reach of home.
The scene before him was bloody with a single massive pool of blood that still looked fresh and the handmaid laying almost in the center of it. He could see that she wasn't really injured and that the blood didn't really belong to her. His belief was confirmed when he saw the armor, that belonged to Louise familiar, which he easily recognized and the overturned buckets.
Rumors had been flying around the whole academy like a wild fire as the nobles retold the stories again and again until it was nothing like it was at first. In fact, by the time that it reached them (the commoners) they didn't believe a words of it yet they still took part in retelling the rumors for their own entertainment. But like all rumors there was always a hint of true that always remained in place no matter how many time it was retold. That hint was enough for them commoners because unlike the nobles their views wasn't colored by prejudice towards Ms. Valliere. And so as far they were able to tell from the rumors, her familiar was most likely a soldier summoned from a far off battlefield.
That single piece of truth amid the lies was confirmed with the bloody armor that he saw laying just below her along side the over turned bucket and washing equipment. Yet that wasn't what worried him the most. No it was the sight of the blood that worried him as...as there was something wrong with it. It still looked fresh as it was still new and from the look of the familiar armor, Siesta had been washing them. Yet the blood still looked fresh despite the fact that it was now mixed with water.
It was then that, the thought of helping the Siesta finally crossed his mind so he make to move towards Siesta but his body refused to move. He tired again and still it didn't move, he tired to well it to take a step forward towards the pool of blood and beyond but still it didn't move so he stopped and attempted found out why that was so.
What was this feeling, he asked himself? Looking down at his hands, he saw that it was trembling and finally his body reported that it wasn't only his hands that were trembling. So he looked at his other hand and saw that it was the same, what was this? Then his legs reported in that they felt weak. What was this...is this fear? He asked himself. Fear..fear..but it's day time...right..so why was he shaking? He was aware of that he was still afraid of the dark because of the possibility that monsters could be hiding right front of him and he still wouldn't know. But this was day time so why was he shaking? it couldn't be fear that he feeling right now, RIGHT? monsters didn't come out during the day, RIGHT?
Forcefully he looked at the pool of blood again, how can he be afraid of blood? He was a assistant cook, he'd worked with blood before right and so why was he afraid of the pool of blood before him? After all it was only blood, right? besides, he reasoned, the blood could be the familiars or maybe a enemy soldier that he killed so what harm could it do to him?
That line of though didn't convince a him a single bit nor did it ease the trembling of his body. Wait he thought, remembering that he had not felt this afraid since childhood when his father had told him of these ancient stories where the hero would always kill the monster. So could this blood before him belong to a monster? No, there was no such things as monsters, there were nothing more then a fairy tails told to frighten children so that they would listen to there parents.
Yes that's it, it was nothing more then stories just stories that's all besides it was nothing more then blood, right? He told himself again before he pulled out a flask of liquor and took a long hard pull almost emptying it. He could feel courage flow into him while his body stopped shaking, he moves towards Siesta unmoving body and then kneed down beside her to help.
He then shook her, attempting to wake her up, but she didn't that was when he noticed and felt the blood against his skin. He held his breath waiting for something to happen but nothing did. So it was nothing more then blood, he thought joyfully, as a soft laugh escaped from him yet it didn't last long as it soon turned into a loud and gleefully laugh. Unfortunately, he failed to notice that his shaking of Siesta had loosen a relic that was a family heirloom, that she always carried with her, and the blood was moving slowly towards him.
The relic loosen fall from Siesta pocket and make contrast with the bloody ground and their it rested unmoving. The assistant cook picked Siesta up and begin to walk slowly while still laughing that by this time no longer sounded like a joyfully laugh but now sounded like a madman shriek. He never saw the relic begin to smoke nor did he see the fire triggered by the relic that quickly engulf every single drop of blood present including these on him and Siesta.
And so it wasn't long before the assistant cooks laughter soon turned into a long painfully scream of pain as his body was engulfed in flames and his soul was ripe apart and eaten. Siesta body fell to the ground amids the flames as it burnt the areas of her cloths that were sprinkled with the inhuman blood and leaving her half naked. The assistant cook wasn't so lucky as the fire burnt him to the ground leaving nothing but his ashes behind and not a single drop of blood left.
The first people to arrive at the scene were the kitchen stuff then followed by teachers further from around the school while students were left wondering. Yet it didn't matter as only the kitchen stuff arrived in time to see the flames dieing down after it'd burnt away the demon blood while Siesta lay with the remains of her burnt cloths.
The kitchen stuff found the crime scene confusing, as they saw that the flames had let no evidences of damaged on the stone floor. The flames had burnt the armor, the buckets, the assistant cook body, and most of Siesta cloths.
Chief Marteau couldn't believe the sight before, Siesta was almost naked and the sight of ashes. The next thought that crossed his mind was the same that crossed every commoner present at the scene of the crime. A noble had tired to commit a unforgivable crime and they burnt a innocent men to death who tired to save the girl. There key reasoning? Only a noble could create fire that didn't leave behind any evidences.
Sadly, the first teacher to arrive at the scene was a professor by the name of Mr. Ventus, who arrived to late to see the flames. It didn't help that the man was a pridefully fool who once he arrived, didn't bother to look too deeply into the incident and dismissed the commoners comments about the flames because as far as he know, that wasn't possible. Unfortunately he didn't inform the commoners that no such spell existed but he didn't because of his pride and simple contempt for them. And so the crime was blamed on a innocent men.
The decision left a bitter taste in the kitchen workers mouth who disdain for the nobles only grow which quickly grow to include all of the commoners working for the academy. As for Siesta it wasn't long before rumors begin to fly around the academy that she'd been raped by another commoner and thus was nothing more then damaged goods. And considering who she worked for it also wasn't long before the whole incident was blamed on Louise with the innocent men completely forgotten in the hazy of lies.
Thus it wasn't long before the rumors made their way to Louise ears which did nothing more then deepen her wounds and sorrow and finally push her to the breaking point. Where she no longer cared for anything in the world not family, not fellow students, not fellow countrymen and women, not even her pride as a Valliere, no. Nothing mattered anymore to her and so the darkness of the void took her.
Osmond couldn't believe his luck, first it was with Ms. Valliere familiar, then his assistant was off with his right hand hand in La La Land leaving him high and dry with the academy workload, and now this. THIS a actual crime taking place on the academy grounds! What was the world coming too? He thought gloomy.
According to Mr. Ventus, who was the first to get there, it was attempted rape but why must it happen right now? the princess was due to arrive tomorrow and here he was still working on getting everything ready.
Why must his peaceful year be taken away from him? NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, he cried softly to no one but himself, as tears of sorrow ran down his face. It didn't last long as it was nothing more then an act of him expressing his irritation with recent events and fact that he had to actual do some real work for the last day or so.
He lean back in his chair, with a sigh, the last fews days had been rough ever since the unexpected summoning of the soldier from a distance lands by Ms. Valliere. Which was a surprise to not only Colbert but the whole stuff of the academy, including him. The event, while worrisome considering the vile present that he had felt at the summoning, had him interested as there had never been such a case before. In fact, this was a first that a living being was summoned as a noble familiar as far as he was aware.
He sigh, his mind wondering back to the recent attempted rape on the academy grounds or at least that was what happened according to Mr. Ventus who was the first one to arrive at the spot. Yet he didn't trust the man, as he had a hobbit of letting his pride and contempt for commoners color his judgment so he was sending Colbert to double check the wind magi findings.
In the end, he sighed, the solution for these problems can wait for now, he thought. What was more important was getting everything ready for the princess visit tomorrow and making sure that nothing went wrong while she was here. It didn't help that it was going to be arriving early in the morning which meant he had to get things ready tonight.
He paused his musing and took a deep breath, this was going to be a pain, he thought, as he got out of his seat and left his office so that he could get everything ready for tomorrow.
Later that night, when everyone was asleep, Louise found herself on all fours with her face inches from her familiar, she was studying his face and wondering about why she had summoned a commoner like him to be her familiar. Yet even so that thought itself was nothing more then a passing thought in her mind.
She'd been crying for two days after locking herself in her room, to afraid to come out and face her peers. Yet she know that something had changed inside of her, when she heard the latest rumors about her despite her door been locked. She didn't knew what it was that broke inside of her so that lack of knowledge had brought her here before her familiar and were she found herself only inches from her familiar face. She had come here in the hope that it'll help her find answers but she hadn't found any.
What was it that had changed in her? She could tell that it wasn't anything concerning her pride as she had none left and as for her other emotions, she didn't feel anything. In fact, it felt almost like she was standing in a empty cold room, her skin cold to the touch, and it didn't feel as if it belonged to her at all. Now that she thought about it almost felt like this body didn't belong her and yet here she was in it.
It make her feel odd in a way but maybe it was a side effect of crying and over thinking about her sorrows continually for the last two days that she felt like this.
She couldn't feel anything not even when she thought of her family her mother, father, and sisters. She didn't feel anything, no love, no joy, nothing nor did she feel or remember the memories that want with these words. The only thing that she could feel was a empty void as if nothing in the world mattered.
That was the way she'd felt when she left her room some time after midnight and made her way to her familiar side. She didn't feel the cold nor the warmth nor anything else for that matter as she walked down here to the infirmary. She didn't feel anything until she was inches from her familiar face and starring at his lips. She didn't know how long she stared at these lips for but it was long enough for a voice in her mind to whisper softly 'kiss him and complete the summoning ritual' however it wasn't the only voice in her soul.
She could hear another telling her to not kiss the familiar but to take it to the next level and in return power would be hers but that voice was silents by another as it told her not to listen to the second voice as it would bring her only to sorrow. And yet this voice was silent by another more powerfully voice that told her that nothing mattered in this world. All was nothing before the void, for it was the void that was the beginning and the end of all things in this universe. Everything come from the void and in the end everything will return to it at the end of the universe.
The other voice tired to resume the argument but it was again silent by the fourth voice in her soul, what followed was silences. It was here then that her senses finally returned, she blushed as she felt the warmth of her familiar face but she didn't redraw, as her eyes were drawn to the familiar lips and the sound of his soft breathing. She could feel the warmth from the familiar body, it felt comforting to her.
The thought, didn't least long as her senses stopped working and the cold emotionless state returned and so did the voice. It told that she was a void magi and what it meant to be a true master of the void, the other voices tried to counter but they were silents again by the forth voice. The fourth voice then told her that if she really wanted power then it would give it to her but it told her the price, she would have to cut of all emotional connection to everyone but her familiar. If she wanted a normal life then all she had to do was say so and she would be no difference any other void user in the past, restricted and limited in power and ability but still more powerfully then any magi.
She considered it for a moment, as warmth returned to her body, and as she studied her familiar closely, he was handsome and not to bad looking. She could live with it she thought agreeing to the voice conditions and for a moment she lost control of her body as it kissed her familiar lightly in the lips. The action itself left her shocked and surprise that she blacked out but her body didn't fall.
The void took control of her body and checked the familiar carefully, good it thought, it had choose well but the familiar weapon wasn't present. So it spent some time looking all over the academy, making sure that no one saw it, and once it found it. It returned it to the infirmary and placed it next to the familiar before finally leaving for the night.
Tabitha had taken to watching the familiar at night along side with Louise and she'd taken notices of the changes in her behavior and filed it away for future references. She'd been getting more and more messages from the king to find out what that 'vile present' was. She reread the countless letter over and over to make sure that she didn't misread a word but from the sound of it. It sounded as if her uncle was afraid of this familiar, no she thought, it wasn't the familiar that he was afraid off. It was that vile, no she corrected, evil present that she'd felt when Louise had summon her familiar.
That was what he was truly afraid and as much as she would be overjoyed at the discovery, she was equally afraid of it. She'd faced madman, killers, monsters, orks, and evil man like her uncle but nothing compared to the present that she felt that day. It was nothing compared to any of her other past experiences, in fact, it was ten time if not more worst then anything in her experiences alone. And so it was for that reason alone that she was afraid of the familiar and doing her best to keep a eye on it.
She would have to reply to the king letters or else he may end up sending someone else to replace her and that couldn't be allowed to happen. She liked it here as it was peacefully, quite, and she had friends for the first time in her life. The only thing that still remain at home was her mother and only her, without her, she had no reason to service her uncle.
So she needed to find some solid information soon if she didn't want to lose what little happiness she had in her life but thus far she had nothing besides the events of tonight and that wasn't a lot to report, she thought. The only thing that the event told her was that the two of them were close but how? It didn't make any sense as Louise had only summon him a few days ago and he'd spent all that time unconscious.
The thought of them been lovers, brought a short lived simile to her face, but she never seriously considered the possibility yet she had taken a look at the familiar weapon and it was nothing like any that she'd seem during her life.
Tonight events coupled with the fact, that a familiar was a reflection of the summoner, along with the benefits that come with it didn't help her understand the situation before her any better. Therefore, she thought sadly, she had nothing to report to her uncle but tonight event and tell him that she'll be watching the familiar closely.
Thus she headed back to her room with her familiar flying through the night sky.
The void was no longer controlling it's host body, now it was nothing more then a formless shadow standing next to one of it children. It considered the child before him, she was a void magi and one of the first of it's children to truly connect with it and understand what it meant to be a true void magi.
It didn't have any feeling or emotion like the flesh bound soul that were living beings which were scatted across the universe, in fact, it didn't have a soul nor a body like these small life forms. No it did not, for the void the whole universe was it body every single piece of matter in this universe belong to it and thus it had complete control over it. However it was wrong to assume that because it didn't have any emotions that it couldn't understand them, after all it understood the complex chemical reactions that take place inside a human being or any other alien intelligent life forms which product theses emotions.
So it understood these emotions on a intellectual level yet it could never feel nor experience them but this did not mean that it didn't understand the intention behind them. It could understand a man decision to fight to protect his family just as it could equally understand a man decision to protect their young and so it understood the need to protect it children and to keep the promise it had made to that interesting human long ago.
The void know everything there was to know about the universe ever since it was created long ago. It know what was possible and what wasn't possible from the moment of it birth. So even since than it had wander the universe looking at all the achievements of all it's inhabitants and to be honest with itself some of these achievement was truly something to behold such as the creation of planets, suns, and etc. These achievements of the inhabitants of this universe were something which a being like it would be proud of but when these achievements were compared to the single achievement of the humans. They were worthless and meaningless.
The reason? because all the achievements of the inhabitants of this universe followed the rules of the universe. It knew that these achievement were possible, all it needed was for them to understand the theory behind the technology. The humans, as they call themselves, single greatest achievement was the establishments of a connection between their universe and it. Their intention was to turn this planet into a safe heave for their kind.
It could understand the intention behind their actions as it was no difference from countless others, it witness since it birth.
This single achievement was one that not one of the current inhabitation of this universe had managed to match in any way despite their own note worthy achievement but even their greatest works were nothing compared to the human achievement of creating a connection between two difference universe. This was a achievement which left it confused as it knew that such a event was impossible yet here it was happening.
It had study the portal closely and to some extent it could understand the laws behind it but it could not fully fathom the reason why it worked. This was same thing out of it knowledge, something out of it understand, something out of it...jurisdiction. Yes jurisdiction was the right word but only in part.
It understood that it authority extended so far into the connection into the humans home universe and that it could never hope to shut down the connection without the portal machine been shut down completely. It was also aware that the connection could also be cut by destroying the machine but that would be against the promise it made.
However even if it hadn't made that promise it wouldn't have destroyed the machine. It wouldn't as it existence give it the chance to learn knowledge beyond it understanding. This lead to it pushing as far as it could along the connection in order to further it knowledge and understand the universe on the other side.
What it learnt was interesting to say the least. The connection seem to travel through a realm of pure emotions, it was unlike any that it ever felt or experienced. The emotions did not effect it at all been a being of pure logical but it understood them enough to know what they were. The possibility of such a realm existing was impossible but here it was before it. A realm of pure emotions.
Further study of the connection allowed it to finally find the present of beings similar to it within this realm of emotions it did not contract them as there was no need too. It was here only to look and study. It did feel a familiar present within this realm of emotions but it could never pin it down.
Thus as a sigh of that achievement he'd given them the gift of using a smell measure of it power but each of them had disappointed him, as they still clenched to useless things but despite this it could understand it children. They were not bound to this plane of existences for long unlike it.
They were not caretakers like it, they were not a cog in a complex machine, they were beings able to choice there own fates before finally leaving this plane of existences at the end of there lives. It was aware of this as it could feel the soul of it children leaving there bodies behind at the end of there lives. It felt lost. No what was the word...sad yes that was the word. Sad.
It was why it agreed to that interesting human promise in the past.
This child was the first one to truly understand it and she will be the one to ensure that the promise will be fulfilled and the gate way will be closed as agreed a pond.
